Santa Barbara Smash Tournament! Friday, Dec. 12 '08. (Venue Change!!!) @Junk's place

[Gosu_Engineer]

there would be no time for doubles junk. But we can still have crews and stuff. Oh and a bunch of friendlies. =D

we could always do friendly doubs. I hope some of my crew shows up so we can have more interesting partner mathups

 

[∫unk]

gish wanna do melee team friendlies together?

cuz were that good

and we both want to get good at melee

 

[Gishnak]

Lol... I guess.

I'll have to play some melee against cpus this week. But...

That sounds pretty fun actually, because I hate brawl again.

 

[DanteFox]

Awww didn't do well in tournament this weekend?
I keed, I keed. But seriously, Melee *****. peace out. lol

 

[∫unk]

i need to get top 3 in this

maybe i'll finally get to play against foop (have you been playing?)

KiF and G are likely going for brawl but they last-second flake so I wouldn't put them on the list lolololololol

edit: im bringing 1 wii/tv at least hopefully 2

 

[Gishnak]

I've created a new a G&W, Jun. Let's meet in the semi or winners finals.
And I can't wait for our doubles match.

 

[WarpStatus]

i'll be going to this. but seriously tho guys, add doubles.

 

[Lovage]

holy crap warp status is an amazing name
rofl

 

[DanteFox]

here's a map of san marcos. Found it online. If someone could edit it and highlight I9 that would be great, otherwise, just look for it. You'll find it on the map eventually. (On the map, it's to the left of the health center)

[The Greater Leon]

brian stay at my place after and ill take u to races the next day

 

[Gishnak]

Wait, go to your place after SB tourney? Okay, I'm down. Can you house my buddy WarpStatus, too? You might've met him yesterday.

 

[∫unk]

waiiit i need housing too

i really want to go to race's

gish lookin forward to it :D

 

[DanteFox]

We'd have to run a really fast tournament in order to do doubles, which only a few people seem interested in anyway. There's no way we'd get through it. It's not up to me, but seriously, just do some friendlies. We could MAYBE do a mini tourney, but again, it's not up to me.

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

hey dante. if my old crew shows up we can have my crew fight you crew

 

[∫unk]

put gish and me on the opposite side of brackets thx

The tournament begins at 3:30. I can't imagine many more than 20 people showing up to this out-of-the-way/smallish/no ranked players tournament. If there are 20 players, there will be under 35 matches that need to be played, 3 or 4 of which will be best of 5.

If the tournament is run efficiently (forget friendlies, and as soon as someone wins, they report, and the TV is IMMEDIATELY filled), 35 matches is not very many if we can 4 or 5 stations.

Also, another reason that tournaments take additional time is seeding, which there will be very little of, so the singles tournament should start on time and doubles could immediately follow. And because there will be less than half as many doubles entrants: 10 or fewer teams. That's under 20 matches, and doubles usually go faster.

What time do we have to bone out of the venue by? Because I think we can definitely squeeze in doubles. (I'd be happy to help run the tournament btw if needed + I'm bringing a wii)

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

if need be I can bring a cube and melee. or if I can't go Dante you can pick it up the day before and borrow it cuz no offense but I don't trust junk with my stuff

 

[DanteFox]

hey dante. if my old crew shows up we can have my crew fight you crew

heck yes. tell them about this nooooowwwww.

@gishnak

Last time we were told to leave around 10ish. But I stayed for cleanup and whatnot a fair bit later than that, and noone came to kick me out. Idunno. w/e. if you guys want teams, we'll see what can be done. I'm just not sure if there is enough demand to justify it. *shrug*

oh and a lot of this depends on what room we get/ how many tv's end up being brought.
If we get the good room with 2 tv's we could probably make this go quickly. But that's up to the san marcos guys.

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

heck yes. tell them about this nooooowwwww.

well I already did. They said they might come. so it's not a sure thing which is why I said if my crew comes since I'm not sure if they will or won't. not the most dependable people as you have already seen with my friend cape

 

[∫unk]

if you're joking... you need to make it more obvious

if you're not... you're dumb as ****

 

[DanteFox]

yeah really. Hey, was that falco player at the lan party a member of your crew? the one who started cursing when I infinite waveshined him on pokemon stadium?

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

yeah really. Hey, was that falco player at the lan party a member of your crew? the one who started cursing when I infinite waveshined him on pokemon stadium?

oh yeah that was great...He's actually an up and coming player I trained from scratch. started a year ago and introduced him to advance play. been playing with him on and off for a year. smash was really a side thing since I train him more in starcraft. he's gotten alot better since I started coaching him. Always beats his friends now.


in my crew I'm probably the least experienced and possibly the worst. at least last time that was the case when I played with em over summer.

 

[DanteFox]

how many people are in your crew other than you?

 

[∫unk]

lol @ crew that never plays w each other

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

how many people are in your crew other than you?

4 others. A marth/CF player, A fox/falco player, a Mario player (you met him) and a Luigi/ganon player

 

[Foopmaster]

Well junk I haven't played melee in forever so im QUITE rusty at it. I used to be very good but I would need to play for a few hours to relearn my melee habits. I haven't been playing much brawl but I still play it. Maybe I could play some of you guys before the tourney and relearn my melee skills

Oh yeah don't team with gish he will team kill you lol. (we failed badly when we teamed at oxnard I need to work on team skills )

 

[Gishnak]

Oh yeah don't team with gish he will team kill you lol. (we failed badly when we teamed at oxnard I need to work on team skills )

True story, I owned Foo when he was my doubles partner. I've gotten better at doubles though, much less team kill.

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

If we do teams I may partner with my Luigi crewman (if he shows up) and rock it with my DK.

i was talking about brawl ><

i don't take melee seriously.... yet

 

[SilentFalcon]

Lovage, are you coming to this?!?!!?

And I will try again tomorrow to scout for a room. Unless Bryant has I-9 for us.... ???

 

[SilentFalcon]

^^ ^^

Also I was wondering if anyone has a setup for recording matches? That would be amazingly tight.


(We could still use 1+ more TVs)

[Gosu_Engineer]

I can lend my cube if I come. even if I don't come I can lend it to Dante the day before and he can bring it. just don't put any stupid tags on my mem card

 

[∫unk]

Put G as maybe too.

Bring tv's peeps we don't need wii's/cube's if we can't back it up with tv's.

Hell I'll bring 2 tv's if I can get a free entry to melee LOL (i won't win i can guarantee you, just skip me in prize giving)

gish has a recording device but you need a decent pc for it.

there should be a low tier round robin if possible too. cruss only plays low tiers but he's pretty good.

Well if Gish wants to do it, that would be really tight.

@Bryant (Foop), do you have the room? I'm gonna try an get another if you don't...

[DanteFox]

3 days left and counting guys. get a room soon...
don't make this end in failure.

Yeah. I hope not!!!!

 

[∫unk]

worst case it'll be at my apartment

 

[DanteFox]

junk delivers yet again.

Think of it this way sm guys, if you fail this time. You'll be diminishing san marcos' and santa barbara's rep as part of the smash community. Fewer people will wanna come to the next one. No pressure. :D

although to be fair, most of this is jose's fault and you guys are trying to make the best with the turd pile he handed you. :\

 

[∫unk]

i have 2 setups here i have space for 2 more in the living room for the tournament then maybe 1-2 in a separate room for friendlies

i think all my roommates will be gone by then

i live right next to freebirds/subway/starbucks/everything so we can go walk to get dinner too

but try to get a room

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

haha go Junk...
