Post-Apocalypse Texas Showdown (PATS) 2- feat. DoH, Mojo, AustinRC, Brolylegs, and more!

[Noc]

On a side note, the internet at the venue is ok, but streaming might by tough on their wifi. I hear that 4G LTE coverage is pretty good there though, so if anyone has a 4G smartphone with a tethering app and plenty of data available there could be a good quality stream.

Some good info on tethering: http://www.pcworld.com/article/261928/the_ultimate_android_tethering_guide.html. To give an idea of how much data would be needed, streaming at 400-500 kbps bitrate on average (decent/good quality) uses 175-220 MB/hr. Note: I personally have not tested streaming via 4G tether.

OhH hey guys, I'm thinking about doing a gift exchange during/after the tourney. Just tell me if you wish to partake and I'll add you to the list. Find me on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/0bsoleet and I'll message everybody by the 18th of who they are getting a gift for. 10$ max is preferred for the item. TEXAS HYPE!

 

[Gea]

Does anyone know if Tarzan/Kalo/etc are coming to this?

 

[baka4moé]

I don't get it

I'm like "hey here I don't wanna take your money" and you guys are like GIVE HIM MORE

Yeah I'll money-match

I think that's just a couple people, who want to at the very least play you in a "serious" setting. It seems a good number of houstonians are fine with you not entering lol.

edit: please record sung vs wobbles mm

 

[Grinin]

Tarzan usually makes it out to most tournies so I expect him to be there barring some sort of scheduling conflict or something. Kalo I'm less certain about. He just kind of shows up whenever he feels like it and I don't have his number so idk.

Tell sung to let someone know when they're doing their mm so we can put them on a recording setup, we should have plenty.

any housing available for saturday night? we're about 80% sure 2-4 of us will go and id rather just drive in saturday morning since it starts late. but if it ends late id rather not drive through the night.

I think I'm housing Sung and Co. on Friday night so I can house Louisiana Crew on Saturday night. If plans change and Louisiana comes on Friday or Sung and Co. stays until Sunday, that's fine too, but some people will probably have to sleep in sleeping bags or something.

Sounds like a good idea to me, I think that would be a cool way to end the day.

 

[Obsoleet]

Ya, also, would more people be down for a secret santa gift exchange or like a white elephant event?

 

[Frisbie]

What's the difference?

 

[Admiral!]

For secret santa, each participant is randomly assigned another participant to give a gift to. The giver knows who the recipitant is in advance, but the recipitant doesn't know who his "Santa" is until he recieves the gift.

For White Elephant each participant brings a wrapped present. Every participant is then assigned a number at random. Number 1 goes first and chooses any of the gifts from the pile to unwrap. Every following player has the choice to either open a new gift or steal an already opened gift from someone else. If your gift is stollen you then have the options to open a new gift or steal. A single gift may only be stollen twice over the course of the game.


Personally I would prefer White Elephant. I don't like having to personalize my gifts and WE is more fun anyway.

 

[Obsoleet]

Ya, so looks like the majority of the people want to do White Elephant gift exchange. So if you want to partake, just bring a gift.

 

[Frisbie]

Does anyone know if Tarzan/Kalo/etc are coming to this?

Tarzan is going, Kalo's a mystery but he'll probably show, he showed up to the last Houston tourney that was about a month ago.

 

[Grinin]

So we now have someone with unlimited 4G LTE that has volunteered their phone so we can have a good quality stream.

 

[RedGamer]

I might come to this if I have enough cash to make the trip there (and back, obviously.)

 

[Grinin]

Yo, I have no clue who you are, but good luck. I hope you make it out!

Also, I need a teams partner.

 

[dawn001]

Mad hype !!! i just want to smash hardcore!!!


*H.A.M*

 

[RedGamer]

Yo, I have no clue who you are, but good luck. I hope you make it out!

thanks, bro.

If I come, I'll be entering under the name "Thunder-P"

 

[Grinin]

Have you entered in any tournies before?

 

[RedGamer]

nope, but there is a tourney coming up in san antonio, and I have learned everything that I can learn on my own. so all that's left is to fight a capable human player (and not the noobs the think they're good)

 

[Grinin]

If you're from SA you should hit up MC Clusky and other san antonio smashers and try to carpool/bus with them.

Greetings all, first-time poster here.

This tournament really intrigues the hell out of me. Got two buddies of mine one living in Houston, and we would love to attend.

Here's my question:

"If we can't wave dash worth a damn, will we get our ***** handed to us?"

I'm not going to lie... yes. BUT you should all definitely come anyways! The melee community is actually really friendly and open to new players, despite the fact that we all act like ****s to each other lol. Show up, enter in the tournament and see how you guys stack up and don't be afraid to sit down for some friendlies and talk to people. Everyone is really nice in person and won't hesitate to play some matches and give advice. I promise you guys will all get better and learn more about the game in one day at a good tournament than in months of dumping on CPUs.

Grinin pretty much said it all. You guys will get your ***** handed to you, but you will get so much out of it. In the time that I've played smash, I'd have to say that my first tournament was my favorite, just because of how my friends and I had just started playing seriously for a few months prior, practicing tech and preparing, and all this build up to our first tournament just made it that much more exciting.

 

[Shroony]

The honest truth, I love it.

Gonna practice my wave-dashing up till the 22nd. Thanks for the replies and I'll see you guys there. Look forward to meet you all.

 

[Grinin]

To be completely honest, wave dashing isn't that important (depending on your character I guess). What is important is that you work on basic character control, L-canceling, etc.. Wavedashing is a super useful tool, but as a new player you need to learn how to execute basic moves/combos and develop spacing. Anyways, I'll see you there.

on a silver platter with extra decorations and a side of advice!

Edit: realising that they say the world's gonna end on the 21st, but this tourney took a s*** on that idea and says "f*** you, mayans!"

 

[Frisbie]

Damn, that sucks, that would have been awesome if you could make it out. I wanted to keep it as far away from Christmas as possible, but I didn't want it to be during school, so I picked the day after my last final. How long are you in town? Maybe we could get a smashfest going the next day.

 

[DoH]

I'll be in Dallas 22-28

 

[Frisbie]

I'm guessing you get in late on the 22nd? Well that's a bummer, let me know the next time you'll be in Texas and I'll set up a tournament for then.
