Tactics such as Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or
to manuever around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively
stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath,
is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to
enforce this rule during a match.

You are responsible to bring your own controller. Any controller is suitable
for this tournament (wii mote/nun chuck/classic), just make sure people around
you are not also syncing at the same time as you.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK. BEVERAGES AND SNACKS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE :}
=================================================

So, the second RG is already in the works. Mark it on yr calendar!

Now, I'm thinking we should do doubles in Brawl instead of Melee singles this time. Anyone disagree?

 

[Budai578]

lulz first post?

I should be there!

 

[shanus]

i may just be home in westport around that time, so i could be there :o

 

[DarkDragoon]

Pst! I'll probably be here for this.
Also: PS1 doesn't deserve Neutral anymore, IMO. Friggen Windmill friggen sucks, and I'd rather not waste my valuable ban on it =(.
-DD

 

[Zechster Angriff]

Cat, some changes to the post are in order. It's a "Marykay Center" sign, but on top of that is a huge purple Barron's sign. Also the shopping center is Shoprite. I would mention the deduction for the house, as to be fair. 10 entry, I am thinking a 2 dollar deduction for the house. Anyone think that is too greedy?

 

[Runicwings]

Ill come to this one too buuut unfortunatley for Wes my name will be on first this time. Lawl oh yeah I just went there >______0

 

[-Nana-]

I'll be coming for sure. I'll bring Ferratto this time. :o)

Hmm, I'll have to talk to someone about whether or not PS1 should be neutral. We'll seeeee...

Plus it's a lot more fun/exciting with more people. :}

Also, I'm gonna try to record a good amount of the matches this time around. As many as I can, actually.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Sounds like fun.

[noodles]

im so winning this tourny atleast top 3.... i dont plan to lose to wes this time XP

 

[unknownforce]

I would be interested in going, but I don't know my work situation yet. Is housing a possibility?

 

[-Nana-]

I might be able to house you unknown. This looks like it's gonna turn out to be a pretty hit tourney Wes! I'm hoping the 24th goes well too(which you should also go to unknown)

Edit2:Wes do you know if you're coming to watertown on the 9th and 10th?

If you need housing my house is available. And it's very close to the venue. :}

I'm not sure if I'm coming to Watertown yet. I'll let you know by the end of this weekend. ;}

But yah I hope this goes well. I'd love to see some new faces. 8}

EDIT: I'm contemplating on adding a stage or two to the counterpick list, but I would like to talk it over with someone beforehand so no one gets upset. But I had in mind adding Summit and Jungle Japes to the list. Anyone against? For? Maybe others should be added?

 

[noodles]

omfg please dont add LOL. huge campfest and ******** hazardss.

 

[Cat Fight]

omfg please dont add LOL. huge campfest and ******** hazardss.

Not even Summit? The hazards in that stage are so easily avoidable, though. :|

 

[noodles]

well idk u cud run away from the oppent easily in that stage. but how are you planning to use those stages anyways?

 

[Cat Fight]

well idk u cud run away from the oppent easily in that stage. but how are you planning to use those stages anyways?

What do you mean? They'd be counterpicks.

 

[noodles]

you've definitly found something worthwhile on those stages that your planning to use otherwise you wouldnt have suggested them.

 

[Cat Fight]

Oh, rofl. No I just like Summit, and I don't think it should be banned necessarily unless people tell me otherwise. I don't even like Jungle Japes.

 

[noodles]

oh...LOL idk then jungle japes shud be banned the only thing wud have against summit wud probably be camping and minor hazards ill check that out now brb...is this gunna have stage banning for individual ppl?

 

[noodles]

wait nevermind saw the knockout stage thing lol

 

[noodles]

k i got it... king dedede infinite chainthrow is possible on this stage therefore it shud be banned lol.

 

[Cat Fight]

k i got it... king dedede infinite chainthrow is possible on this stage therefore it shud be banned lol.

On Summit? Errr.... how? The platform to the left falls, and the ice to the right is breakable. o_O;

 

[noodles]

thats true but i dont think dthrow wud break the ice and u can still get decent percentage on the platform to the left.

 

[Cat Fight]

thats true but i dont think dthrow wud break the ice and u can still get decent percentage on the platform to the left.

Still, left platform isn't an infinite. You might get like 3 off before it falls.

I doubt anyone is going to counterpick Summit and use DDD, anyways.

Infinites should be banned. Wobbling is banned. Fox in Pokemon Stadium on the Fire transition can put you in an infinite but I doubt anyone is going to just jump right down there asking to get shined... Plus it's a transition so it doesn't last forever, and is easily avoidable. Same with DDD (CG dthrow on fire transition).

Just don't get grabbed. o_O;

Lotta people have weird grab related tricks they can do on that ice platform, BTW. ;} *wink wink*

 

[noodles]

well whatever *shrug* guess it doesnt matter tooo much. also i got jungle japes mixed up with rumblefalls LOL

 

[-Nana-]

in my opinion theyre both ok enough i suppose, not anymore ridiculous than rainbow cruise or hannenbow. i would go with jungle japes but not summit. too much crap. the fish, floatiness, and mostly because theres no ledge. that i cant deal with personally.

 

[nogalicious]

****, across country =(

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

If you need housing my house is available. And it's very close to the venue. :}

How about Green Greens?

 

[unknownforce]

Great; thanks for the offer!

I'd be interested in the other event too, but its over two hours away. Normally, that wouldn't be an issue for me, but with the price of gas... *shrugs* I would need at least a few other people going with me to afford it.

As long as I don't have to work, I would certainly like to come! Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing some old faces.

 

[S.P.I.C. TOM]

I am not going to this tourney but the floatyness of the level gives multi-jump characters a huge advantage I mean too big of one. I think that should be banned and jungle japes is way too campy even for my taste it will just be alot of running and shooting. Have you seen bum against Chu that lasted way too long and they just sat there until there was like 2min left in a 8 min time limit. Just throwing that out there

 

[Cat Fight]

How about Green Greens?

I'm not opposed to the idea, but my friend Poink tells me there are lots of unfair glitches involving the blocks. I'm not sure how that'd go during the tournament, heh.

Well, I hope you can make it! If y'need housing just PM me. I live with two roommates and there's a vacant room with a bed so it's all good. :}

Yeah, I guess that is kind of unfair/stupid. I wanted to hear what people thought about Jungle Japes, but since I don't even like it myself, and given the negative responses, I won't add it to the counterpick list. Good to hear yr input though, **** Tom.

 

[Ferratto]

i challenge you to a chopper duel

Well if you do decide to go to the other event there will be housing for you if you need it and hopefully we can play at this one either way. :o)

and Wes the only problem I've seen with Green Greens is that the blocks spike you. Weird and annoying. I suggested it as a counterpick for the 24th but I realized that one the blocks spike you and also the walls and ceiling are really REALLY close. Still want it though haha.

 

[unknownforce]

Wow, a vacant room? I would have been fine with sleeping on the floor! A very generous offer indeed!

I wonder if I can get some other RI players interested in coming... Emmy, would Paul or anyone else from OAK be interested?

 

[Cat Fight]

I think I'm just gonna leave the stages as they are, TBH. *shrug*

But still, it's a good list.

Oh, since I never exactly specified, doubles will be held before singles. ;}

EDIT: So I decided I'm adding Summit and Pirate Ship to the counterpick list. -___-;

They're good counterpick stages and I enjoy playing on both. If you don't wanna play on the stage(s), you have two counterpick bans you can use.

Thankssssssssssss.
