Oh hah, sorry. Yeah it's Friday. Sorry about that, I misunderstood.

Dang. I may be the only one from Denton who can make it. The others (so far) are working or would be held back too late by marching band.
I'm not going to be within a few hundred miles, and I'm excited for this. I hope it runs well and is a good time for all.
I would also remind everyone that infinite replays are on by default in Balanced Brawl. If you have a good match, you will be able to save it (with rare exceptions, mostly just really long teams matches). I'm sure no one would object to liberal use of that feature.

It's been a while since I really played Smash competitively...but this is a tournament where Ganondorf and Pokemon Trainer are on steroids, so who knows what will happen?
Speaking of which...for the tournament, is there still a $25 gift card or something for winning? I'm not terribly interested in paying an entry fee and then going off-campus just to collect a reward (or pay it).

The entry fee is really just for the smashboards community, you really haven't been active much. I don't think you'll have to worry about it.

For everyone that doesn't know their way around campus, meet at my apartment (it's on campus) and we can go from there. It's easy to get to and there's no construction in that area and not parking passes.
Address: 2200 Waterview #1421 Prky Richardson, TX 75050

Of course not. If anything I can either shuttle people to the SU or just all walk. It's just my apt is off a major street and if you were going to have to park on campus there would be where to park and how to get parking passes, the route to parking through the construction and then how to walk from your parking lot to the SU and I figure it'd be a heck of a lot easier this way. 
I'll post a map up of the Student Union and how to get there on the front page in just a sec.
I'll post results Sunday, when I'm not busy. Billy and I got top 2.
Thinkaman showed up. Lol surprise!

It was hella fun, mainly because I tend to like the pool system over the starter bracket.

Full report coming later.

Here's my data. It is by no means definitive, it is just a random sampling of total observed matchup results of every match I saw at the tourney. If I saw a Mario beat a Luigi, Mario has a win against Luigi. If I see another Mario beat a Luigi, nothing changes. If I see a Luigi beat a Mario, then Luigi also has a win against Mario.
This methodology has many shortfalls; it does not take into account player skill, and focused not only on the players at the tourney but also to some extent the ones closer in proximity to me. (For example, a lot of players at this tourney with low skill levels were playing Sheik/Zelda and ROB, while Sethalon was ensuring wins for Falco.) It was also taken mostly during pools, when play is often sub-optimal. I stopped taking notes when I started doing a lot of friendlies myself at the end too. (For example, these matches has a lot of wins for Lucas, DDD, Jigglypuff, and PT which are not represented in the data.)
Still, the idea is that this sampling is the maximum amount of data I could collect from a central position in the room watching all setups.
Observed Matchup Wins and Losses by Character: (DITTOS NOT COUNTED)
Mario: 3/3
Luigi: 7/3
Peach: 1/6
Bowser: 4/0
Donkey Kong: 0/0
Diddy Kong: 7/2
Yoshi: 3/2
Wario: 3/3
Link: 2/0

Ganondorf: 9/5
Toon Link: 13/8
Samus: 4/5
Zero Suit Samus: 0/1
Pit: 6/4
ICs: 0/1
R.O.B.: 0/5
Kirby: 7/6
Meta Knight: 8/4
King Dedede: 0/5
Olimar: 6/4
Fox: 0/2
Falco: 11/10
Wolf: 7/2
Captain Falcon: 4/3
Pikachu: 3/7
Pokemon Trainer: 3/7
Lucario: 5/8
Jigglypuff: 4/3
Marth: 3/8
Ike: 7/6
Ness: 5/3

Again, take these numbers with a grain of salt. I'm just making the data available.

who else used luigi?
Yeah some new players were playing Peach on the right side of the room for awhile. No one present was very good with her.
You saw how many people were playing Ike. Three in our pool?Haha, what Ikes were doing all that losing?

Wow, the King Dedede ratio was horrible! On the other hand, the Bowser data looks nice.
I also believe that my friend (Mr. Z) was the only one who used Regular Samus. Another friend (M1K3) was reppin' Diddy and his only loses were against Zac (he also got matched up with him in the brackets).
I was surprised of the amount of Tinks & Zelda/Shieks.
This tourney made me realize I have a horrible Snake game.
EDIT: I look forward to seeing the final results.

Haha, I know. I'm just messing around.
BALANCED BRAWL IS KIND OF FUN.
The only thing I miss is my opponents landing on their feet when I throw them.
Other than that, LAWL IKE TIER JUMP (along with half of the cast, about whom couldn't care less).

Who was sucking it up with Marth!? Cause it certainly wasn't my pool.

I had to leave as the bracket was starting up but I thought I saw Foursaken on the bracket list? He has an awesome DDD and all my matches with DDD were 1:1 except vs Bwett and Ice who owned me.
Were there other D3s who were really sucking or something?
I'm looking forward to the results. I had to leave early due to waking up at 5AM on saturday for a cross country meet. I was pretty tired but it was worth it, UTD 2 was a blast.

I want results and an idea of how the money thing went.
We had a total of 72 people show up. I did 8 pools with 9 people in each pool. One pool per TV. Pool rules were:
Play only two games.
Both games just pick Random (from the 11 stages above)
2 stock each game. (for time reasons)
When pools finished I took the top 3 from each pool and created a single elimination (eww i know, but short on time) 24 man bracket. Top seed in each pool got a bye.
Bracket Image
Billy and I have yet to play it out.
And sorry no videos. I didn't have time to record any matches as I was hell-a-busy making sure everything was run smoothly.

He didn't play Yoshi from what I heard (& the few matches I managed to watch he was using Diddy. I was too busy running our pool.)

haha Bwett did a 'for the lolz' match with a guy named motap or something. It was yoshi vs ganon and ganon got a lucky spike when yoshi was low on % for an early kill, Dphat gave Bwett a hard time after that

Yoshi isn't my main anymore. I'm Diddy now =)
