I'll pass Ryan, you can stick to QLD if you like - I'd rather team with someone new like Dekar or Jaz

Tibs, I didn't know you were a Sainter

 

[l3oOkeR]

Ryan and hotdogz..... you need a 3rd player for your SF4 team =D =D =D =D

You may deserve one, but there's a difference between 'deserve' and 'actually winning for once'.

[Sieg]

Kas + Anyone = Balanced.

That's hilarious!

If you wanted to balance you'd have Kas + NOBODY.

 

[Dekar289]

whats a kas

 

[Browny]

hmmm i wonder if its worth coming. Uni work load does not seem as if it will be as big a problem as I first thought.

ill be blunt. last time i came to melb was dissapointing. there from 8.00am till 7:45pm and I believe I got a grand total of 12 friendlies in that time (5 vs shaya, 3 vs Lycan, 1 vs Nix, 2 FFA's, 1 vs a Ness). Repeatedly kicked off TV's was NOT ON for someone who had to catch a plane there for the first time ever. I would have no issue coming if there was the premise of friendlies all day sat morning till sunday night, any tournaments are a side-event for me.

Some other issues like a doubles partner would have to be sorted (Ant will never spend his money to come lol) and the size of brackets etc too, 16 FTL. I know this sounds pretentious as all hell, but it costs a hell of a lot to fly out for a uni student, I dont intend to be standing around not being able to play smash the majority of the time again :/

 

[SummonerAU]

You're angry over a well run tournament? Go down when there isn't a tournament then.

 

[Nixernator]

Did we even finish our steak match DJ?
Come down =). Melb is god tier.

 

[CAOTIC]

Anyone who hasn't been to a major hosted by myself is in for a rude awakening.

The Saturday and Sunday will be pretty much be squarely focused on tournaments. There is always the opportunity to Smash outside these windows, in particular, the days leading up to the event and when the venue shuts on the weekend ~ people will take it to their hotel rooms. At Rambo, people set up Smash in the hostel. Additionally, there's always meets at N2C or people's places the Thursday or Friday before a major.

Actually, I can guarantee you that you will have the opportunity to Smash your brains out at N2C the night before the tournament starts.

If you look at the schedule there will be Melee tournaments on as well. Anytime this happens, there will be some reserves for Brawl setups so you will also be able to friendly there without interruptions.

As for a top 16 DE finals bracket, that's entirely dependent to the size of the turnout, which is why I've set up the sign-up thread. Top 32 is ideal, and we do have the time for it. But I'm a meticulous planner, and planning less is most certainly safer than planning more, given the scale of the event.

 

[Dekar289]

rocky isn't a tournament
it's an experience, squared

 

[Jei Jei]

You're angry over a well run tournament? Go down when there isn't a tournament then.

<3
Shaya thinks my tourneys are well-run <333

@CAO's last post because I suck at multi-quoting: I strongly agree, any major run by CAO is defs worth attending. You really don't know what you're missing if you think Rocky won't be worth going.

 

[Redact]

last tourney i went to in SA was held at 3am

 

[Devil.]

Im currently accepting applications for a doubles partner...

Who knows could be you DJ?

 

[Browny]

Hmmm...

prospect of endless smash on preceeding days =

price/ease of being able to stay in melbourne for those extra few nights = ???

 

[xXArrowXx]

still haven't figured out where i am staying -,-
any willing hosts.. else what is this dirty smash hostel people stay at?

rising up, back on the streeet, took my time, took my chances... (warming up for rocky)

 

[Hotdog]

I don't have a doubles partner either =DD

 

[Mini Mic]

Sounds good, hope to be there (Riccy too!)

 

[CAOTIC]

Rici is committed, looks like we're going to set a BRoom record! <3

NYC's got nothing on us :D

 

[Mic_128]

Screw Broomers. Screw Smash. Screw Melbourne.


I'm coming. For DOOODGEBAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!

Edit - hahaha <3

 

[Dekar289]

hey cao was oc3 a scam

dont take this the wrong way dude but nobody is going to cater to your every whim just because you fly down from somewhere (try flying to america for a tourney)
12 friendlys is still quite a few and if your getting upset about being forced to share the matches around then you are NOT ON.

besides most tourneys have a rule where as soon as the bracket actually starts, no friendlys or you are dq'ed.

doubles partners are usually just picked on the day, just show up and find someone big deal, and top 16 is fine.

so no more crying just because you arnt getting vip treatment.

besides, as has already been established, cao is god of TO's

 

[Vermy]

Luke, have i told you lately that i love you? <3

Also, i lol at Tak in that photo ^ looks all sad and emo XD

 

[Attila_]

i was just about to make a lol post about emo tak, but it seems i was beaten to it. very awesome pic btw.

 

[Sieg]

TBH if you're a uni student and you can't afford to fly to the state over you're just not working hard enough.

Too much time playing Smash and not enough time working your *** off.

I <3 Emo Tak.
