*Pound* 4:: VGBootCamp Debut! Two days. Plank's sanity remaining: 50%

[Syde7]

Ever decide on the bracket size for both games? Totally missed it in the slew of pools hype posts

 

[SOLAR]

LoL Germ's in my pool, yipee! =) Always wanted to play him!

 

[TheTantalus]

We're gonna do 48 man brackets for both games

It actually almost works out perfectly for brawl

There 193 brawl singles entrants (192 is perfect 6 man pools)
Top 3 advance
Then 96 remain for 2nd round, 6 man pools
Top 3 advance

48 man bracket, top seeds get byes

To do this all in one day, i need 40 Wiis at the minimum! Step your game up folks

[Dr Peepee]

mike$ is a pretty good falcon

he has some sets up vs dr.pp

dr.pp messed him up tho

he didnt even go falco, he went marth fox and falcon lol

Different guy. The one from NC is money mike, and he's not going to pound unfortunately.

 

[CT Chia]

are all bracket matches for both games going to be recorded?

 

[TheTantalus]

If we have enough wiis to save replays, chibo

We'll be playing as many as 16 games at a time

Please confirm you're bringing a wii in the equipment thread! Thanks

 

[Prawn]

yo how do we go about attending if we didn't enter?

I just wanna play friendlies and mms/get drunk/yell at strangers.

 

[TheTantalus]

Just show up and pay spectator at the door.

I'm sure we'll have a checklist and passes for the players and people who pre-regged as spectators

 

[CT Chia]

vgbootcamp/plank should buy 16 sd cards or so to specifically save replays for the bracket matches

have a codeset on with the must save replays code and infinite replays and nothing else

 

[TheTantalus]

I'm pretty sure VGBootcamp is taking care of the recording via SD card

I'll post some codeset rules later

 

[Keitaro]

I'm done my preliminary setup of Brawl Pools

Jon/HAT/God-Is-My-Rock, talk to me some time today, HAT/GIMR, if you guys are coming on saturday, I can show them to you then.

When the pools do go up, remember that its gonna be one less round than melee pools since there are only 200 entrants, so things will be a little bit harder.

As soon as VGBootcamp looks at the pools I'll go ahead and submit it to Plank to put up.

How big will the final Brawl bracket be?

Also I paid for Brawl singles but never did for doubles although im planning on teaming with Xzax. What can I do?

Edit: Saw the 48 bracket answer.

 

[TheTantalus]

48 man bracket

 

[Watty]

imma gonna mess my pool up

 

[_Kadaj_]

Silent Wolf vs Remen first round? Nice.

I got Silent Wolf winning

 

[Willz]

I got Silent Wolf winning

Lol hell naw.

 

[Keitaro]

I'm gonna **** up everyone in both my Brawl pools!!

 

[CT Chia]

I'm gonna **** up everyone in both my Brawl pools!!

shutup were still talking about melee pools lol

 

[Vex Kasrani]

So are pools sets going to be just 2 matches or best of 3.

 

[TheTantalus]

Best of 3, like normal tourney format

Also please denote that the timer is 7mins for pools not 8, but its 8 for brackets

 

[Vex Kasrani]

Best of 3, like normal tourney format

Does this apply for melee as well?

 

[TheTantalus]

I presume so, but i'd check with jon

 

[PB&J]

sleepyk vs ss

someone record this please

 

[Dark.Pch]

When will brawl pools be up?

 

[TheTantalus]

By the weekend

 

[LLDL]

I don't know who any of these players are.

 

[idea]

you so rarely get to see good marth dittos anymore =)

 

[4% APR]

Im the first player on the list. WOOO WOOOO

 

[dashdancedan]

1. SleepyK
1. C
1. Silent Spectre
1. Aeon2.6
1. Negi

Woah, is C Cornel? If so, this is a problem, because Both SleepyK and Cornel are from GA and play each other all the time.

 

[★J.G WentWorth★]

Cactuar's name is still spelled wrong, even in Pools.

 

[Mike G]

1. SleepyK
1. C
1. Silent Spectre
1. Aeon2.6
1. Negi

nah Dan. It's not him. I'm 100% certain because I was smashing with him the other day and he told me that he's pretty broke and couldn't afford the plane ticket in time ;_;

 

[Virusbluemage]

Does anyone understand how the seeding/placings for the second round of pools will be determined? For example if I were in Group A and I got first place in my pool, is there a way to know what 2 round pool I would be placed in, and guessing from the placements of other pools could I make a reasonable estimation of who would be in my 2nd round pool? Anyone know? Plank can you answer me?

LOL thumbs will be sad to hear that, he took a match off of you at the Shell Shocked you came to, he played green falcon.

VBM the placings in pools determine what seed you get in your next pool, but not which pool specifically you go into, that will be randomly generated and then manually adjusted by plank, just like round 1, although I think he will be paying less attention to location as the rounds go on.

 

[Calle W]

C is from Sweden. =)

 

[dashdancedan]

1. Illmatic (Lambchops)
1. Zoso
1. DashDanceDan (me)

2nd round of pools will consist of (2) 1 seeds, (2) 2 seeds, and (2) 3 seeds. top 3 advance again.

 

[Juggleguy]

ROFL Juggleguy, you are fighting the man who you made the Kage vs Mango trailer haha. Well then, let's do it! =D

I've memorized you after going through dozens of clips making that. Be afraid, Kage! =P

I'll probably be recording my pool, and since I have two capture card setups... another one as well!

4% just beat Drephen in a MW tourney recently, haha. That definitely looks like one of the most difficult pools.

 

[toasty]

gettin 'tuared SO hard.


Edit:

DAN whoa Chops is still entering?!?!

 

[dashdancedan]

I checked the profile, and Illmatic is

Nickname: Chopz
Location : Florida

I dunno if he's actually coming, but he's registered.

Edit: I wish I had SilentWolf or M2K or Eggm's pool.

Edit again:
