Play N Trade Tourney in Charlotte, NC

[Sushi-Man]

This Brawl tourney takes place on August 22 (8/22/08) and it starts at 3:00 pm. The time the tourney will end depends on the number of participants. The tourney will probably cost $15. However, this cost is subject to change since the TO hasn't completely decided. The TO has decided to make a 5 dollar entry and 10 dollars for the pot.

This is the tourney address:

9813 South Blvd, #104
Charlotte,NC 28273

If you have any problems finding the place call or any other questions call: 704.551.0639

Tourney Prize Money Distribution: 70/20/10

Unfortunately, I did not make the rules of this tourney. Soooo . . . these are the rules:
1)1 vs 1
2)ONLY FINAL DESTINATION
3)3 stock OR 5 stock depending on how many people come. If a lot of people come, it will be
3 stock and vice versa.
4)All items are turned off
5)It is either single or double elimination depending on how many people come
6)Best 2 out of 5 and grand finals are 3 out 5
7)There are loser matches AFTER THE FINALS. So if you lost, you can stay a little later to participate in that. However, this will not have any effect on the real tourney

Usually, a lot of people come to these tourneys which raises the first place prize money to insane amounts. When play n trade had a double tourneys, the prize money for EACH person was $200. I hope all of you come b/c it would be lots of fun.

If I left any information out please tell me. I will let you know.

Hey Peter, remember how I said that I'd team with you for teh moneys? My parents have said that I can't go to another tourney because it's costing so much to go to Jubilee lol. It wouldn't matter if I told them that I could win it fairly easily because they have more reasons than that. Sorry again dude. Maybe over the next couple months or something lol.

 

[Ryanarius]

is each match 2 out of 3 games?

winner finals, loser finals and grad finals 3 out of 5?

Also does winner bracket champ only need to win one set in the championship while the loser bracket champ will need to win two (being double elimination it only makes sense for the winner bracket champ to have to lose twice)?

edit ooh more questions:

Is the 15 dollar fee break down 5 for entry fee and 10 dollars for pot or 15 dollars for pot?

 

[Sushi-Man]

PeePee-So are you coming to this? A good marth player like you could win 1st.

Ryanarius: The games are 2 out of 3 and only grand finals are 3 out of 5. The dollare fee is 5 for entry ad 10 dollar pot. And there are no loser games at all due to the face there will be sooo many people coming and there are only limited amount of tvs. Again, I didn't make the rules at all.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Nope man. Have fun!
You gonna go Ryanarius? If so, lemme know how ya do!

So if there are no loser games does that mean its single elimination?

Dr. Peepee- Maybe, if its single elimination probably not. A couple of the smasher here in clemson would always play final d only if it was their call so a ride shouldn't be too difficult. My pit has improved and my snake is good enough that mk matchups are not an automatic lost so hopefully I'll do well.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Well good for you dude. Maybe I'll get to see that for myself someday too.

 

[kackamee]

I'll come, but I'm a bit uneasy about the FD only rule :/
EDIT: Hey this is only 10 minuites away from my house

 

[Sushi-Man]

Ryanarius: It will be single elimination or double depending on how many people come. Sorry about the fact that a lot of these aspects of the game are factored by the number of people who come.

The PNT tournaments around here usually suck--

-stupid rules
-overcrowded
-you can't swear because of little kids
-and most of the workers know nothing about Brawl

However, like Sushi said, the payout is always huge.

If I can get atleast 2-3 good brawls, (Not me 3stocking some 5 year old, then he goes crying yelling "HE ***** ME HARD" :/) I'll be there

Kack: lol. This play n trade is 10 minutes away from my house as well

Casanova: I admit the rules are stupid and many kids over there suck, but the prize money just makes it good.

Just got back in town today, and lo and behold, my schedule makes it so I can't be there when it starts. Does anyone else here know how long the tourney usually lasts? I'm in uptown charlotte, so I'll have to commute by train which'll take about 30-45 minutes. If nothing else, I'd very much like to at least see some of the matches. Maybe not so much the 5 year olds, but rather some of the true blue smashers. : )

What's a blue smasher?

Sushi-man and I are gonna dominate

 

[Sushi-Man]

East: How late can you get there? We can probably do it so that you have the last singles match so you can be maybe more than an hour late. It would be nice to have some smashers over there that are not noobs.

Kackamee: lol. The funny part is that we both will probably place in the top three since there are sooo many terrible people over there.

 

[East]

well I'm at the Johnson and Wales University dorms, and I get let off of RA training at 3pm that day. Factor in about 10-15 mins to walk to the train [praying I don't have to wait for it.] it's about a 30-45 minute ride to pineville. Oh, and before anything else, I don't really think I'm any good. I've only really played against my friends, and just playing against them isn't such a great measure. I know stuff and try to apply it, but I've never been told if what I'm doing is effective or not. I don't think I'm a noob, but i'm certainly not great.

Still, even if your not that good, it's still nice to come just to get better. But since it starts at 3:00 That's kinda hard to get there in time to fit you in, but still try atleast :/ Maybe if you don't make it in time, you could play some friendlies in the end

 

[East]

I'll try and see if I can get out a little early. If I don't make it in time; however, I'd love to play some friendlies. Just getting a chance to play different people would be enough for me ^_^ New characters and strategies will be a great experience.

 

[Sushi-Man]

East: I can guarantee you that you will do better than almost all those other people over there. Most of the people over there are really bad. If you can make it, like kack said, stick around for friendlies.

 

[JMan8891]

Hmmm... idk if i'd like to do this tourney, or the Gamer's Edge one. That one is obviously more consitent, and has a decent turnout for great players (i can count... 8 including myself, and another 5-8 who are pretty good too)
But i honestly get off work at 3:00 IF i don't take my lunch break (and i can get FIRED for that, lol ) and i have only driven to charlote south.... idk where South Blvd is, and idk if i could get there on time.... but (for obvious reasons) if i were to go, im pretty confident no one will have played a Sonic of my calibur before, and its easy making top 3 (Sushi, you and i nvr played, and in a few friendlies, i beat Kack, lol )
But really idk...

I swear, your Sonic is faster than other peoples >.> I call haxors :/

 

[JMan8891]

Lmao, i try to emulate who is considerd the best sonic ever, LuCKy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGaUXMuD1WE&feature=related
But yes, an empty short hop-fast fall thrown in with full speed dashing creates a lot of "speed" xD

My goodness, that guy is...wow. And some people say he's low tier pshhh

 

[JMan8891]

Yea, and unfortunatley, he didn't enter tourney's much as sonic, but pwnd Gimpyfish's bowser, xD

Mr.3000 is a solid Sonic, who places extremly well in some difficult tourneys

I honestly kno my greatest shortcoming as sonic is my lack of powershielding, and shield grabbing. But he is so fast that i do fine without it, xD. But against MK, Marth, and i guess ESPECIALLY ROB after my owning... (tearz :'/) i should work on that, but wifi isnt the way to, lol

Yeah, I play online quite abit my self, and I think it's effecting the timing on my CGs >.> So that's not kewl

 

[JMan8891]

Oh it is by far for me. If you watch LuCKy, he will slow run away, short hop to fast fall Bair (sonic's best kill move) and his spacing is perfect to either hit, or be out of range for the grab. I lost my timing for that and it has effected me greatly, i go for it a lot in the ROB matches i lost, but missed nearly every one due to off timing, xD. And he's so fast he can fast run away and not get hit. Good sonic's are scary, lol

If you think you can place, I would recommend coming to the play and trade one b/c first place will probably be about $400. We haven't played yet but I saw you beat devin so you must be really good esp. since sonic has a disadvantage against marth.

 

[JMan8891]

It definitley wasn't easy, he pwnd me pretty hard last week, but i practiced the best 3 marths i know, and didn't rely on gimping to win, just how to feint, counter, chain combo, ect.
Im trying to make both, but really hoping i can at LEAST place third here for the cash prize, lol. I could use it. Then again, i owned Wes's ROB and lost to Neo's ROB... and Wes' MK ownd me and im guessing you play a much better MK Sushi.. practicing those 3 matchups i guess, lol

 

[Criosphinx]

Don't you count me out yet, Jman. I'm working on some counters to Sonic.

 

[JMan8891]

lol, im not, your one of the good players, but its funny the ways i can play Sonic. I really did play 2 diff styles for the 2 tourney's, to see how it'd go. A challenge is welcome. Or i may just practice would TL again, lol

 

[Sushi-Man]

Criosphinx: Were you in the gamer's edge tourney? I don't know who you are exactly

JMan-I never played Wes but I played Neo's rob and that was very hard. He keeps camping with his gyro and lasers and you have to be super quick to get in his face so you can do close combat. I didn't know whether or not infinate dimensional cape was banned or not so I didn't use that as an approach.

 

[kackamee]

1) I know for a fact I can't beat Sushi with my Climbers.
2) That's because I couldn't even beat Wes' spammy MK
3) Now I got quite a few people to watch out for >.>
4) Criosphinx is the manager of the gamers edge tourneys
5) I've beaten Wes' and Neo's Robs but mostly cause I use the gyro agaisnt them.

 

[JMan8891]

I beat Wes ROB cause he didn't spam or camp. Sonic lacks priority and range AND attacking speed to ROB, watch our 1st match, he spamed the weak laser to disrupt my approach, and out-prioritized me. 2nd matches 50 dmg bthrow made me phail, xD. ROB, MK, and Marth are the only chars i consistently have a tough time with. ROB loses aeiral combat to Sonic, but my timing was way off on those matches....

 

[Sushi-Man]

Kackamee: I wouldn't say I will definately beat you since I have never fought a against a good ice climbers player. Also, Wes and I have different styles of fighting so maybe you might lose to Wes and beat me.

Jman- I think to key aspect to fighting Rob is while you are running towards him, you need to shield when he throws out his gyro or lasers. This would prevent any "chip" damage which accumulates overtime. Rob, Mk, and Marth have super high priority so that would definately be hard match-ups for sonic.

 

[JMan8891]

oh, i kno, but in the 1st match, i seemed to trip or trot, and that meant weak laser/gyro sandwiches

 

[Criosphinx]

Criosphinx: Were you in the gamer's edge tourney? I don't know who you are exactly

Yeah... I was the guy yelling at the little kids and wtfpwning as Ness / GaW.

And IDC isn't banned, as long as you're not stalling with it.

 

[kackamee]

IDC is so freggin hard to do for more than 5 seconds, so I don't see how it could be banned :/

 

[Sushi-Man]

IDC is pretty hard to do but after loads of practice, its not that bad.

 

[JMan8891]

I don't even kno how its done, and i didn't know of its existence till some random online ffa, its literally had me lmao, xD. He tried to litterally "surprise attack" us with it, and i just used a grounded spring and went up and down and up and down, lmao . How do is performed?

 

[Sushi-Man]

How to Perform IDC: On the ground, do a Down-B. Continue to hold Down on the joystick and rapidly tap the C-stick between neutral and Up.
Effect: MK stays invisible/invincible as long as you are tapping C-stick Up, then finishes his Down-B attack instantly when you stop. You can also tilt the joystick down-left and down-right to travel while Vanished
