[Shaya]

So a $1000 pot for both brawl singles/doubles?

 

[Browny]

lol...

he said last year was $1000 for melee 2vs2 lets not have some unrealistic expectations at this point

 

[Jamage]

Things are still being sorted out and Ill keep you guys posted on as much info as possible.

 

[Browny]

ANT should really go though, is he coming for Sunday's Smashfest?

I doubt it. And i thought I was anti-social lol...

 

[Jamage]

Preliminary Super Smash Bros Brawl Rules

1v1
3 Stock
7 Minute time limit
Items Off
Double elimination Best of 3

2v2
Same as 1v1 but with team damage set to ON

Stages set to random
Battlefield
Final Destination
Yoshi's Island
Pokemon Stadium (Melee)
Smashville
Delfino Plaza (D)

1st round of 3 set to random then loser may choose any stage from regular or counterpick stages.

Counterpick Stages
Luigis Mansion
Bridge of Eldin (D)
Castle seige
Corneria (melee)
Lylat Cruise
Great Sea
Battleship Halberd
Pokemon Stadium

All other stages are banned for tournaments.


Other Rules
Stalling - Stalling is not allowed. Stalling a match includes any method the player might use to prolong a match by placing their character in a position wherein an opponent cannot reach them. Peach's Across B for example, can be used to stall underneath stages like Battlefield. Running away would not be considered stalling however, as your ability to evade the opponent is only as good as the opponent's method of catching you.

MetaKnight rule - In a set of 3 MK can be used for only 1 win so if you lose with MK 1st game you can choose him again but if you win 1 game u must alternate.

Metaknight’s Infinite Dimensional Cape - A technique that renders a character invisible and invincible indefinitely is banned. If a player is reported to be abusing this, they will be disqualified from their round and penalised.

Ice Climbers Chain Throw - Is legal, however, extending a chain-throw past 300% will be considered stalling.

This Tournament will be run by Jamage and LegionX.

 

[Browny]

[ComboTurtle]

prizes is all we care for

 

[Shaya]

Quiet Turtle. Its also interesting to get an estiminate of how many people are going.

 

[Redact]

well since tf2 is confirmed (with a ******** format though, hopefully i can change that :3 )
im most likely to go if i can get a few others to come (atticus especially in mind)
but i really hope to see melee

 

[luke_atyeo]

I played TF2 once... my friend was like "ok you big this big mother****** and I'll be this medic dude" and we rolled, it was fun.

 

[Jamage]

Should be around 500 -700 people there.

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

Lol @ MK rule.

Ice Climber chain grab allowed to 300% huh? I wonder if I can perfect the IC chain grab before then and just be really cheap
:3

Nah, I'll just enter as Ness.

 

[Browny]

have i ever played vs your ness...?

I can only do the 0-50 -> ice block lock with IC's lol alternating throws just hurts your hands

 

[ComboTurtle]

Quiet Turtle. Its also interesting to get an estiminate of how many people are going.

we cant really tell how many people are gonna go for smash if we dont know the prizes!

 

[Kaeser]

Common sense would suggest that it would be around last Reloaded's mark, maybe a bit higher?

Mind you that might change IF there was Brawl singles/doubles AND Melee singles/doubles.

This is just me speculating, but keep in mind that Melee hasn't even been confirmed.

 

[ComboTurtle]

yer but we cant very well book tickets and organise hotels n stuff if the prize turns out to be crap.

 

[Kaeser]

It's Reloaded LAN and even the stupidest of competitions (non-videogaming ones included) have good prizes.

Brawl is less than a year old in Australia and they would take console tournaments just as seriously as PC ones. My advice would to start saving money by booking earlybird flights and accommodation to cover for the highly unlikely event that the prizes significantly drop.

It's fairly presumptuous that you're basing a trip on a prize that you haven't yet won, I say go for the fun of it first and foremost. I'm not having a go at you personally either!

 

[Dekar289]

the sooner you confirm what tournaments are running and what the prizes are, the sooner people commit to coming by booking flights and accommodation etc

end

 

[Shaya]

Also run smash 64 with a $1000 pot please.

 

[ComboTurtle]

Also run smash 64 with a $1000 pot please.

**** up with smash ****ing 64 no one ****ing cares about it and besides you're not even good at the game if more than 4 people in australia played the game you wouldnt be any good at it... besides i'd smash you if i trained at it for a week so would everyone else.

 

[M]

I can only do the 0-50 -> ice block lock with IC's lol alternating throws just hurts your hands

If it's hurting your hands, you're not doing it right. >.> The aim of the chainthrows is to be gentle with the control stick...

 

[Atticus]

the sooner you confirm what tournaments are running and what the prizes are, the sooner people commit to coming by booking flights and accommodation etc

end

Yep. It takes a substantial amount of time set aside and expense to travel to Adelaide for many of us. I'd love to come to this, but I'm not willing to risk coming just to find out there's no serious Melee competition.

If they get a proper ruleset for TF2 that'll be a major + for some of us.

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

have i ever played vs your ness...?

No I don't think you have, well maybe in those friendlies but it was like 4 in the morning and I was barely awake. But never in an actual tourney match. And I probably wont be fighting you with him in an actual tourney match anyway I'll be using someone else, lets just say.. I may have found the unbeatable DJB's weakness..

Come to think of it, I don't think I've played Jamage at all, even in friendlies. The only time was in a free-for-all once but that doesn't really count..


Edit:
Oh and Jamage just in case you still don't know whether a side-tourney at the next StreetGeek LAN with Brawl+ is a good idea or not, here is what Falcon is like with the codes:

Amazing isn't it?

 

[CAOTIC]

watching NME **** in TF2 live would be amazing. i'll fly first class just for that <3

 

[M]

Gawd.... >.> Blue Bomber has hyper Ness

 

[Jamage]

Blue Bomber your forgetting 2 lans ago when my G&W knocked your DDD out of the quarter finals and that ffa was funny as you being bowser and me being Peach it was natural for us to fight each other.

[The_Blue_Bomber]

Gawd.... >.> Blue Bomber has hyper Ness

You know you love it

 

[M]

It IS tempting to have one myself... with the Saturn shirt of course.

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

Come on, do it, they're awesome.
=P

 

[M]

argh... oh well, he still has to compete with Masked Man, who is much superior.

 

[EverAlert]

Very interesting... wonder if I can afford the trip.

Must know about prizes and the other stuff Turt and Shaya were *****ing about.

If it's hurting your hands, you're not doing it right. >.> The aim of the chainthrows is to be gentle with the control stick...

lol I was going to say the same thing almost word-for-word.

It's not like anyone will even have it down properly in time unless they already play ICs anyway LOL. IC infinites are far too intricate...

 

[M]

The chaingrabs aren't essential with Ice Climbers anyway. Hell, I'm often at my best playing a solo climber.
