Wow, out of the blue a post by OC George? If memory serves me I thought you moved somewhere far away.
I got back from Gameclucks last evening and have to say I had a lot of fun.
Got to chill with @Sideslick and @Beardbot while I was there, Smash Tour and Heavy/Fast Special Smash was lots of fun. Also got to spend time with a number of my dear friends and met plenty of new people I thought were awesome.
@Gimpyfish62 ran the stream well and the general crowd was nice and respectful while keeping a good competitive energy.
Felt like the best times of Gameclucks when I used to attend regularly a couple years back. Looking forward to having some more fun with everyone and hope they enjoyed my Sheik, Diddy, and Pika I brought with me.
Also got to represent Oregon and used the "Oregon" tag on stream - was really funny when people were asking why I used that name and called me "Oregon". Heh heh
Check out Gimpyfish's Twitch Channel
They hit 40 entrants for Smash Wii U singles! That's quite a lot for a Smash event on Sunday comprised of entirely western Washington and one Oregon player.
I hope the Road to Glory tourney will be as competitive, respectful, and fun as this past GameClucks - really looking forward to another gathering of Smashers between our states!
Did someone post the address and time to meet here before? I'm not sure if I have the info. If someone could help with that, would be appreciated!

I believe Tspeeds does weeklies on Fridays which is a lot of P:M and SSBM players but got their SSBU growing.

Teddy is definitely pretty far for transit unless you live in Portland
Eggz and I host smashfests and we're right off the Quatama/205 blue line to hillsboro
Also I've updated the rules for Smashnest
Some updates for you all. It pains me immensely to say that we will be canceling PM Doubles for this event. Our numbers are getting crazy high and we have a time limit. The schedule is updated and final. If time permits, we'll run some PM Doubles mini tournament in the corner, so we can get our fix.
Other things to note, Smash 4's rules have been tinkered with. Some stages have been removed or moved to the counter pick list. Doubles is now 3 stocks each. Mii's ARE LEGAL at this tournament. If you choose to play a Mii or "Miiple", you will have to play the default mii that is generated. Time is not going to allow you to have the luxury of making your dark princess shadow boxer Lei Fung69
Further questions can be asked on this thread and we'll answer the best to our knowledge

Banning Mii is a much more simple ruling than fandangling rules to tell people how to play their character, especially when it's not even optimized for competitive play.
In general time is not going to be an issue because Mii are used only rarely, if at all, in a given tournament.
But *if* time is an issue, then:
Only allow Mi that are...
a) Pre-made and ready to go directly from a 3DS
b) Already available on the console.
b) Already available on the console.
It's simple and easy to enforce.

Actually, I can't tell for sure:
Does this mean you can't customize Miis at all, or that you just have to use default Miis (instead of outfits) and can pick specials?
This is what makes such ruling ambiguous. I don't want to be DQ'd because my Mii is wearing a Top Hat.
But the simple solution remains the same:
Ban Mii, or just let players enjoy the game.

The idea behind the ruleset is there is no customizing them whatsoever. Mii's are already a gray area, but we're going out on a limb and letting them be allowed at this tournament. After this tournament, rules are also up to change. This tournament could possibly reach up into 200 people attending and is probably going to be the largest smash tournament in Oregons history. We're taking things one step at a time right now
As one of the only Mii mains in the entire Pac NW I agree with the statement that Mii should either be outright banned or left completely alone.
But if a ban is going to be used best to handle it professionally and let it be publicly posted for a reasonable amount of time - no PNWR post-registration-debacle is appreciated by the Mii mains.
TL;DR is in bold. Points underlined.
Because time is the reason for a ruling then uploading a Mii is the only viable option.
It takes less time to upload a Mii then it does putting your name/controls in.
As an example: Anyone who uses a wireless controller takes much more time syncing/pairing their controller, yet there was no mention of a ban/limit on those for time.
Miiple wearing princess crowns don't take any more time than if they don't, but do add charm to the matches/stream.
Uploading your data from a 3DS actually saves time because you can sync your controller, upload your custom controls, and upload your Mii all at once all in the time that is faster than creating a name & inputting your control scheme.
Additionally there are only 3 or 4 Mii players in the entire Pac NW total. Chances not all of them are going to be at your tournament which means there's virtually no time constraint problems with a couple people who did a one-time job taking 30 seconds to upload their Mii.
My reasoning on the Mii fighters are at the forefront of national issues, referenced by @dapuffster and can be found here: Competitive Principles: Mii

Time constraints are resolved, as contained in the spoiler below to keep things tidy:

Glad to hear you had a Smashing good time there. I'm sure you'll find the Smash 4 players just as fun to play with.
And here I thought valentine's day might interfere with the weeklies.
Smash events usually start kicking back up around february leading into march, goodbye cold weather!

Heya peeps. I'm sorta new to the competitive scene for smash but I'm wanting to meet some friends play/practice and work my self up for tournaments. I'm in Portland and I play Super smash bros for wii u

So an update on the Mii's. Custom movesets are now legal for them
Karyuudo, you're in luck. Probably the biggest tournament in Oregons history is this weekend.

Oh Gosh ;A; I'm Excited And Super Nervous At The Same Time Since I Don't Think I'm To Good And Stuff xD But Sounds Like A Lot Of Fun.
Oh, the irony, I haven't played Mii in a month to practice for Gameclucks (went to finals with Sheik/Diddy/Pikachu/whoever).
In the weeklies I mained Palutena (customs don't really help her) and only went Mii Brawler one round yesterday in the entire bracket, and it seemed kind of unfamiliar.
Don't be shy, pretty much everyone at Gage's tourney will be your friend. If you're looking to improve then tournaments are a great place to play a diverse pool of high level players and are a lot of fun! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Don't get too nervous about it being a tournament, it'll be lots of fun and there will be plenty of people there to meet and hang out with.

Well I Should Be Able To Make It So I Hope To Meet Some of Ya'!

Palutena is sick nasty with customs
Jaxas
Smash Champion
Uhh... what?
Super Speed doesn't help her?
Lightweight doesn't help her either?
Gonna have to disagree with you on that one...
Yeah, for sure! Look forward to seeing you there!
Palutena still isn't great, even with custom moves. She's still 90% the same and it takes a signficantly better player to win with her in most match-ups. Diddy will still Hoo Hah her and win.
I really like Celestrial Fireworks.
I really like Celestrial Fireworks.
Sorry, meant my Palutena, lol.
Yeah, giving her customs and no other character is just out-of-whack balance-wise.

So we'd like to announce a special guest coming tomorrow. Redbull has just agreed to sponsor this and will be coming tomorrow to "spread their wings". Now that we're esports, all y'all better act like it now.
Also, HYPE

DoI just like Show up and sign up when i get there? or was i supposed to do it before somewhere?
Peach Masta

You can show up and register. As for registration before you even arrive. As long as you show up an hour before your bracket that you want to enter starts, you'll be good

Yeah, I Think I'll Be There For Most Of It Even Though I'm Just Going To Be Playing Smash 4.

Spectating and playing is totally fine. If you want to play though you gotta pay the venue fee. Spectating is free

I had a loot of fun. Met some cool peeps.
I had a blast too, just got back home. Quite a weekend - went up for one Smash tourney, wound up attending three.
Looking forward to the next one, hope they can all be big events like this one but a better venue may be needed. With that many people it was stuffy inside.
Want to type more, but tired/hungry. Thanks for hosting!
So many tourneys all at once, but still loking forward to next weekend's at Pixel Battles.

Hey guys, I finally got around to making an account. I'm the T.O. from Smash @ Disc Heroes and just want to come and thank @T1MMY and @
T0MMY
for coming out yesterday. The turnout yesterday was actually the smallest turnout I've ever had, so hopefully that doesn't deter you guys from coming to future tournaments. I will make a thread for the next one, and at the moment I'm still trying to decide what events I want to run alongside Melee singles, so if you guys are interested and can have a decent amount of people come out, I would love to run Smash 4 again.

Hey, nice to hear from you. The thanks should go to you and @
Jaxas
for running things so well. 
The tournament was a lot of fun regardless of numbers and I got to meet the local players which is always the best part of traveling to tournaments.
I would love to make it to another Disc Heroes tournament. Talking with the other Smash 4 players I know they would love to see more events in the area as well and I'd suggest contacting the PSU Smash Club too since they play both Smash 4 and Melee and could be interested in showing up.
Thanks again for running the event. I'll keep an eye out for that tournament thread.
I'm sad to hear that. Looks like I'm going to have to find another Super Saiyan to carry me in Doubles.
Good luck with the rest of the term! Gambayo!
