Not bothering to read all the debate just yet, but I want to answer Iconic's question.

There is no way to make an equal chance for everyone to win the tournament. Making people pay more or less if they either have a greater chance or lesser chance respectfully to win the tournament is silly: They have that chance because they are better.

Seeding does a lot of what Jake put out. A good example of a result gone bad is the Doubles bracket at Komodo January. If not the top 4, then Asa and iKool would've been in the top 6 teams. I strongly think they were the fourth ebst team there though, the top three being the three other teams on that side of the bracket, yet they got eliminated first, and one of the other teams was doomed for fourth instead of possibly contending for 3rd, be it Brian and Jordan or Eric and Vincent.

That's a bracket gone wrong, and it was entirely randomly generated. Seeding favors the top players but only because when it is not seeded, they are only going to be eliminated early by other top players: They'll still beat all of the lower players unless said lower player is actually better or just outplayed them, ie was better in their set(s).

Good job keeping the tournament page up to date. Still reading so I'll make another post later.

If anyone wants, please make a poster. Have it feature brawl, mention Smash 64 (as Super Smash Bros) and have all the necessary date and times as well as contact (Komodo PC's phone # if the owner gives the thumbs up, and ajtka@hotmail.com, as well as Jordan's if he gives the okay as well.)

I'll ask anyone to put up posters, wherever. Around campus', in your lounges, wherever legal. It'll net some other people looking to play brawl and possibly get a few more people secured in BC Brawl. :)

lol regarding the typo in the title: I noticed right after I clicked sent. I am ******** and don't know how to change titles though. I was thinking of asking a mod if I saw one to edit it for me, but if someone knows how, let me know. I'm sure it's possible... right?

oh and it was a spelling mistake, not grammar. grammar is sentance structure just like the mistake in this one is punctuation.

I felt pretty bad about the doubles matches. I thought that I got screwed over on my first tourney... and let ASA down... But yeah, that really does show that pools are important with these kinda things.

Also, this is where I will shine in this community. I am pretty epic at doing digital art, so I can make a pretty kick-*** poster for us (if I don't feel lazy...).

The only thing that matters in a tournament is getting 1st place. Otherwise, you'll be forever known as the guy who did not get 1st place.

lol jk :)

I see tournaments as a way to see how I rank against other players. Sure, I'm playing my best and trying to get 1st, but if I end up in 5th, then there simply were 4 better people then me at the tourney.



Well... that means you'll have to stop rolling into my 9s. Seriously, you do all the work for me. ;) Friendly trash talk ftw :p
lol robert i cant wait to play with you again man im going to come to vic for a couple days we need to play some brawl, and hopefully theres a tourny when i get back my IC'er need to come **** some BC people, im getting bored of texas lawl

Can't wait to play you with my (approximately) 5 new mains (I decided to finally get a character counter for all the characters I do bad against... and the result is like 7 mains :p). What am I saying? I main 42 characters in this game :p

When are you planning on coming down to Victoria? We'll have to have a tourney (or at least a smash fest) at that time. I'll money match you :p

Alright guys. Tourney poll:

If I were to make a poster for advertising, will anyone actually take initiative and put them up?

For Victoria smashers, all I have to do is advertise it on Victoria's AIB and Facebook smash groups. I could always use the poster in the facebook group / aib message. So to answer your question: Yes and No (as in yes I would use it, but no I wouldn't be posting it around, since all the competitive smashers in Victoria know each other).

How good do you BC'ers think you'll do vs AB? Jake did pretty good, and if bundtcake and breez are both better than him by a fair bit I think it should be interesting.

I would be very surprised if it isn't Jack vs Dan grand finals, but if bundtcake can do it, that'll be impressive.

Idk
Jake's matches vs bundtcake and breez are always super close. In fact jake beat breez in a small tourney last week
so I don't think the skil gap is really large

I think I can take karaudo and tblock

But it's Dan.

If I beat him, I beat him, whatever. But. REALLY?

You really think that my beast mode could amount to Dan's. The second I take a match from him he'd just end up doing twice as good as the last round. When he gets mad, he gets good. SuPeRpIsSeDbOoM
