Remember the good ol' days? Remember MLG? Driving up to North Jersey (not New York, they're fooling you) to play Smash against the regions best, with aspirations to travel the country playing the game we all love? Then they just threw it all away with those "Grassroots" tournies and Gamebattles.

Well, welcome back to the national stage, Smash! PhillyGamers, a new gaming league with national aspirations, are starting their first summer league for fighters! With me leading at the helm as a player rep, I was asked (along with R0gueY0shi, a 2D figher player from SRK) to help plan their fighting division.

What we have to do is show them that we care. There is a 40 player cap for Brawl, so preregestration MUST be done here in this thread. Here's all the info you need -

-------
ADDRESS:

Hey guys, all events are at Drexel Hill FD.
323 Edmonds Ave
Drexel Hill, PA 19026


------
FEE'S:

Fees: $10 venue + $10 per title. Typical 70/20/10 payout, but look for prizes provided by a cadre of sponsors, including:

Best Buy, SteelSeries, Jolt Energy Drinks and Glitch Gear with more to be announced.
-------
LEAGUE DATES:

July 6th - EARN YOUR INDEPENDENCE!
July 20 - PhillyGamers' Genesis

* -Smashballs will be OFF.
* -Advanced Slob picks: First match is a blind pick, where the competitors will tell their character to a judge, a proceed. The Loser of the first match will then pick the next stage, then the winner may choose his character. After, the loser will choose his character and begin. The same will happen for the third match, if forced.
* -Dave's Stupid Rule Modified will be in effect. The same stage can not be played twice in a row in a single set.

I'll be honest SwiftBass - I would've most definately had Melee over Brawl, but Brawl is "the new game". Even though I like Melee and I want to support it, as the company grows through the next couple of years I don't know if Melee's numbers can top Brawl's. :/

id say try for both, no harm in trying. See if there's a way to do a test advertisement and see if they hit the cap. Unless they are full up on titles =/

Ban the stages in bold. If they're not banned, I'm not coming. They are not viable for competitive play and will decide sets. I know you play Dedede, but come on. Rigging the tournament for Dededes and camping homos isn't cool.

If you need me to write an essay about them, I'll do it.

Oh noez, you can camp in Brawl? **** man, I never knew that. They're perfectly fine stages if you're not stupid enough to pick someone who can get CGed by Dedede. You can also use the following strategies if you are stupid and still pick a character that Dedede can chaingrab.

Green Greens - Break the blocks
Corneria - Don't go to the bottom part or do gay wing camping so he can't grab you
Mario Circuit - Camp the top middle platform
Green Hill Zone - Camp the checkpoint post
Onett - Camp the top parts of the stage

1/3 of the characters cannot be chaingrabbed. The list of characters he CAN chaingrab includes Diddy, ROB, Snake, Link, Samus, Toon Link, Charizard, Dedede, Ivysaur, Ice Climbers, and Peach. Diddy, ROB, and Snake can all put things on the stage to prevent Dedede from chaingrabbing them across the entire stage. Link and Toon Link can always hold a bomb in their hand so that it explodes in the middle of his chaingrab. The second climber will hit Dedede before he can complete the dthrow animation and they can chaingrab him back. Peach can just never ever leave her floating safe zones. Charizard and Ivysaur can both camp places where they can't be chaingrabbed then switch over to Squirtle. Dedede can chaingrab himself back so you can't really complain about him. Samus can switch to ZSS and ZSS can't be chaingrabbed.

The remaining characters that he can chaingrab are Mario, Bowser, DK, Lucas, Pit, Ganondorf, Ness, Ike, Captain Falcon, Marth, Wario, Sonic, Yoshi, Lucario, and Wolf. Excluding Marth and Wolf, the rest of the list contains characters that Dedede massacres anyways because they're quite bad. If Dedede wins on one of those stages it should only be because he played better than his opponent(assuming there was no tripping into his fsmash or something stupid like that.)

Those can explode and kill you.
lol @ Corneria, I'll cover that ridiculous stage seperately.
This addresses the next three: You can't do that if Dedede has the percent advantage; he forces you to approach, and then kills you from one grab. Basically, once Dedede obtains the advantage, it's ggnore no matter what.

Why Corneria Should be Banned

- Dedede can wall infinite 2/3 of the characters on the right side, and he can just get the advantage up top, run away, and force you to go down there.
- Dedede can chaingrab people to the left side, send them off the stage, and then they can die from the Great Fox laser or double jump, and the forced double jump means Dedede can just call it and hit you no matter what.
- The Great Fox's laser fires more frequently than it used to, and getting hit results in an instant death.
- Fox can shine infinite on the right side.
- Ike can chaingrab with his f-throw, which can be set up by his b-throw, on the right side. This isn't infinite, but it gets a lot of characters to high percent.
- Game and Watch can kill people at 0% by bucketing lasers.
- Lucas and Ness can camp lasers to heal a ridiculous amount of damage.
- Donkey Kong can cargo u-throw most characters at low damage on the fin and kill them.
- Meta Knight can fin camp forever with his shuttle loop.
- Almost any character can do ridiculous nonsense with fin camping.
- You can die at very low percent from anywhere on the stage from a lot of things, like Fox and Game and Watch's up smashes killing you at ~50% consistently.
- Camping in general is not only promoted by that stage, but almost necessary to have a shot at winning.
- In a discussion about the stage, Mew2King agreed with me that it needs to be banned.

I hope this doesn't need anymore explaining. If you think this stuff is all cool and fair and doesn't make the game trash, then go play Melee on Icicle Mountain since that's more fair.

Edit: Donkey Kong and Wario are amazing characters. Wtf @ calling them "quite bad." Have you seen results and vids from other places at all? Ever heard of Bum or Futile?

Really? You have to approach if you're losing on percent? http://youtube.com/watch?v=f53aeimv8I0

Doesn't look like that's what happens in that match...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. I'm only going to choose to address this because its easily the stupidest thing you said after you have to approach if Dedede is winning in %.

First of all, Sadaharu. By making the demand "make these changes or I'm not coming" puts us in a very difficult position. If we do ban those levels, then players will think they can make changes by stamping their foot and having a hissy fit. I also don't appreciate the implications that our organization doesn't strive for fair, competitive and exciting game play. We brought Al & Steve on board because the rest of us are FPS players and we needed someone from the fighter game scene that knew what they were doing. I personally scouted Steve and Al. And it's my opinion that these two guys run fair tournaments.

So if they use a ruleset that has been used before with success, we'll support that 100%.

I hope you reconsider not coming if we don't ban those stages. Our organization has been working hard all winter and spring to be able to provide the best tournaments anywhere.
