Either way, we still didn't see 5/8 MK's in the top 8,
So no ban.
You've all read the very long, detailed spiels from myself and other people about why he shouldn't be banned, so I'll save the spam for now

... Although Dhalsim is impossible as well, well his challenges wtf.
Weirdest dream.
I dreamed I was like this doctor or translator for this tribe (lol) and stuff and it was all peaceful for ages until randomly we got surrounded by this other tribe (creepy, if you could see them, it was creepy) and then we had to make like a sacrifice or something but we didn't please them so they came and killed almost everyone, yay screams, yay death, yay blood - but they didn't get me and 3 other people that I managed to drag out with me, 2 random girls and this random guy, everyone was random, so random... and then we were running away and they were all shouting going: "HAHAHA WE GOT AWAY YAY!!!" and then I told them to shut up and then we kept running down this massive hill, looking over our shoulders to see if we were being followed but no one was chasing, and then out of nowhere we got to this part where there was a man wearing a Top Gear jacket (wtf? XD) and we were all cautious but then we passed him and then there were all these boats hanging off a cord or something and we tried to jump passed them to get to the other side of the river (sorry, there was a river, had to get over, didn't swim through for some unknown reason) but they were too far apart to jump across so we decided to go down the hill some more and jump over these fences and it came to a part where there was this huge barb wire fence and a prison on the other side and for some reason I got really nervous so I turned back time (as you do in dreams) and then I woke up.

Sounds like a m night shamyalenalon movie
Hey guys, I have an important proposition for you guys to consider.
Weeklies
Just to clarify, when I say 'Weeklies' I mean doing tournaments every weekend, not just meeting up at DJ's place every weekend for a few hours of random friendlies like normal.
Basically, I want you guys to consider whether doing tournaments on a weekly basis is realistic or not after reading what I have to say on the prospect.
Now, basically the idea I have behind weeklies is one that will motivate players in much the same way players are motivated to go to tournaments in the first place.
The usual formula for tournaments is that you offer a pot to draw better players, which draws average level players who want a shot at playing against these better players as well. I want to apply this same strategy to smaller, weekly tournaments that are run out of a person's place.
What I'd like to see is, tournaments that happen every weekend, swapping between the Gold Coast and Brisbane where player's shouldn't expect to pay more than $5 for the day.
Basically it would be something like:
$2 Venue Fee
$2 Brawl Singles
$1 Brawl Doubles ($2 per team).
You might ask at this point why have a venue fee?
Well, this is basically to encourage players to host these tournaments. Think about it. If you host a tournament that draws even 12 people, you've made about $24, or at least more than anybody else will at the tournament by playing for the money.
Not to mention, let's say the $24 pot is split 60/30 -> $14.50/$9.50
It doesn't sound like much, but it pays for some odd or end, and is something you wouldn't normally be able to get from playing friendlies. The massive advantage is that it gets everybody together and gets them playing in tournament conditions for the money.
There are multiple reasons why I'd like to see weeklies happen, mostly to get more hosts (and to encourage that happening), and to see people more involved. It also has the potential to get people returning more often for smash. This kind of thing happens in America all over the place, and is a good way to get people to join the smash scene as a regular.
Anyway, that's my proposal. If anybody thinks they have the capacity to hold an in house smash tournament, and make a little bit of money as an incentive for doing so, please post here, or MSN me, or PM me

I would imagine in America more people would come, bigger money.
And money is a big factor, kthx.
Well, winning money, anyway.
I'm up for it, though, sure thang.
I wouldn't be able to host, though. Ksorry.

Yeah, but I mean it all has to start off somewhere.
Automatic, a Mexican Pikachu main was telling me about how they started Weeklies in their country. First week drew about 7 people, then that number doubled, then it doubled again. If we keep hosting them, and keep telling people about them, then there's a good chance that they'll show up for them.
I'm thinking Bob's house will be a good venue, he himself knows that much already, but now I want to know who would be willing to host for money. Actually, I'm pretty sure Billy will, and he reckons the place he and Trent are going to be renting has really good public transport and what not. May well be a winner.
Now the Gold Coast is a different matter >.>
I'll probably talk to a few different people and we'll see what happens.
What people should remember is that whoever hosts doesn't even need to be a consistent, active member of the community. I'm gonna try talking to friends I have who don't necessarily participate in the community and see what they think.

Sounds good...
What game are you talking about antho??
Also
Maybe start with bi weeklies until numbers increase...
Cos I know that I wouldn't want to attend EVERY weekend and I'm sure others don't either..and at the moment if a few ppl are absent numbers would get too low
Also teams?
Also what days are you at Uni this semester?

1. We could alternate between games or leave it to the host
2. I guess Bi-weeklies are more responsible. But I figure with Hotdog's tournaments as well, it'd end up that way anyway. Actually, considering the frequency of Scott's tournaments at the moment, I realise now that this may not even be a necessary thing.
3. I accounted for teams in what I wrote:

i can't attend bobs every weekend i need to do more uni stuff this semester.
if the drive wasn't so far i'd be happy to, but driving for an hour for 2-3 hours of smash doesnt seem worth it, thats why if i go to bobs i usually like to stay there for 5+ hours lols.
we need a good goldcoast venue to grow the goldcoast community + make goldcoast vs brisbane teams epic.
and more melee!

I don't think this would work very well as Australia has small numbers, but it's worth a try. Yea I'm testing out how Bi-Weekly's go swapping between Melee and Brawl every tourney. I also need to try find a new Venue near GC so the GC'ers don't have to train it down all the time. If this fails then... new plan =/
I just talked to Scott, and it looks like what he's doing is pretty much what I've been wanting to see.
Dude, you're da bomb man.
The man gets **** done.
Alright, now we have to advertise the crap out of them.

so M2K got revenge on Ally after genesis. what a crazy game brawl is.
Aparently Ally was playing terribly. (Better than your average superman, but still bad).
Or it was visibly obvious that he was.
Not many people have the mental stamina to keep up with M2K in a game like Brawl I guess.

EVO counting as a Smash tournament.
How many went there, 8 people? lol.
And you couldn't even make it into the top 8 Billy.
As I said in the other thread, Genesis is now biggest/most accurate for data tournament around, and a tournament one week after the biggest one in the world is fairly inaccurate due to money/travel/etc.
I'm calling your bull****.
Also I agree with Nick, mental stamina is 4 TUFF GUYZ.

Are you serious?
Brawl is ALL about mental stamina and prowess because you can't simply make up for that with technical skill. If it's not mental stamina and 'smarter' play in Brawl that makes one person better than the other, then what is?
Evo had exactly 128 entrants, with top MK's like DSF and Judge being relegated to 9th and 17th respectively. There has been a lot of talk about the EVO tournament for a while, and is the tournament I've been modellng mine after for some time as well (the starter list in particular).
The tournament was included after MLG_JV and AlphaZealot came to some agreement with Evo, but it wasn't on the official schedule (like Guilty Gear last year or the year before or something)
EDIT: Admittedly, what EVO is, is a tournament with a lot of top American players, but one distinctly lacking more good MKs

It'll be a half day either way.
You'll be at work all day though, so whatever we do, it'll probably be late.
But that's okay I guess. lol.

Why is everyone so gay about Brawlll...
Melee is just as fkin gaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.......................
Marth, Fox, Sheik, Falco, Peach, Jiggly.
MK, Snake.
The difference is there are 2 gay characters as opposed to 6.
Not as diverse, so basically, not as many gay characters, so there are less gay characters.
Isn't that a good thing?

Hahaha Kas likes em young
Its only good thing if those characters are banned...you are banning things without completely destroying the game
I think we should drop the MK discussion from here, only because it's technically off topic and I hate it when our threads turn to this discussion. It's very interesting discussion mind you, and it's always a good topic to debate and keep people interested, but too much of it will turn you off it. There's the rest of smashboards to debate it with people you don't even know, so you don't even have to be nice to them!
This isn't me saying one side is right and the other is wrong, it's just me saying that debating this topic in this thread is fruitless. Go find Saduhara Inui and convince him MK should be banned. That's a debate that'll keep you going.
I'm just asking you guys to keep the ban debate out of QLD threads
If you've got something to say, write a blog about it. That's what I do.

Some of those gay characters in melee can have bad matchups. Snake isn't all that broken, he can have matchups where he is at a disadvantage. MK doesnt have any considerably bad matchups though.
Every game has tiers, even games built for a competetive community (i.e. Street fighter). It's something that's going to happen if you make a game where players are given different skills.
I'd hardly call the melee tier list solid though, characters can outperform eachother all the time based on players skills. Chudat beats top level players with iceclimbers and he even beat cort's peach / falcon with pika. AXE beat Jman with pika. There's some amazing falcon / doc / ice climbers / ganon / samus players that you forgot to add to your list kas.
Edit: Meh ill just delete the MK stuff lol.
