Official + Smash 4 [VIC] General Thread - Next events: MILTIM 11 JUN, CWMELEE+PM 18 JUN, CW S4ROA 25 JUN

[Attila_]

Venue confirmed as same.

I Don't think we can fit 6 events into the time frame...

 

[S.D]

So then Melee singles, PM singles, Brawl single?
Where do we sit on doubles at this point for locals?
We can either try for doubles at the finish or extend the singles somehow? Maybe extend bo3 sets to all bo5 or trial flex sets or something?

 

[Hughie]

June 8th works incredibly well for me, and the venue is in Abbotsford? I'll defs be there

 

[Attila_]

Explain flex sets please.

 

[S.D]

So in bo3 tournaments, flex sets extend the set to a bo5 when the score is 1-1.
If it's 2-0 set ends as normal.
The concept is that if a match is at 1-1 the assumed closeness in skill level justifies a bo5 to determine a winner.
I think there are some issues with the idea, but I was just throwing out a suggestion.

Flex sets - Credit to Bones

often also used with this DSR alternative
- You cannot ban the same stage twice.
- Bans are temporary and do not carry over to the next game's stage selection.

 

[Dekar289]

could start off with free melee doubles (good warmup, reward for people coming in early, most popular game), then do singles brackets for P:M, Melee & Brawl
my 2c

 

[S.D]

Fair call. Melee dubs is a good warm up. Until you rage.

 

[Attila_]

I was going to suggest the same thing.

Seriously.

 

[S.D]

Aaaaand just realised this is a Sunday. GG. Have fun all.

 

[Jamwa]

Would rather project M doubles seeing as melee double's metagame in australia is shiek ness top 4
dont know if there's a time difference between the two games cos that might cause issues.....
bbbbbbut i wanna actually play pm doubles and having melee doubles as a 'warm up' is a waste imo

 

[Nido]

PM dubs would be pretty fun to have.

Also I didn't go to the bam qualifier, where is the venue?

 

[ViVa]

Masonic Hall 141 Gipps Street, Abbotsford

Opinion. I think PM doubles is a waste of time because it's already the least developed game in Melbourne so no-one is gonna give a **** or know very much about the doubles.
And I say this even knowing that our team of Mewtwo+Lucas will win every event. It's the lowest priority event and least hype for the majority of Melbourne's scene.
Some Melee players might like PM doubles more than Brawl doubles, but it's not like they'd really want to watch either.

Melee doubles is gettin' hype espc. with some dedicated teams getting together now +
In addition, I personally really appreciate it to make the fingers fast and to get focused before the main event so I'm sure a lot of people may feel similar.

 

[PrettyCoolGuy]

I'm mad that i can't come carry miles

 

[Redact]

Dekar lets team and win with double dk. Actually I might change to zelda at some point m2k said she 2nd worst in the game but we gotta prove em wrong

 

[Dekar289]

[Hughie]

Redact I'm happy to double dk
We'll still win trust me

 

[PrettyCoolGuy]

[Jei Jei]

I want to team with a fox main.

 

[Redact]

[Hughie]

Actually phil you should go with nanohologuise, it's gonna be his first tourney and he'll enjoy teaming with you

 

[Redact]

[Jamwa]

You know you want me
You know I want ya

 

[TakFR]

Update the title pls Jei, just to make sure everyone knows

Hopefully I can go to this, I will know on Monday :/

 

[Juci]

hopefully this time we can change the table setup which will allow for more setups and not to be squished in the corner.

 

[ViVa]

Played smash at deans today and I had fun so I will definitely try to come play with you guys on the 8th.

 

[Shaya]

Brawl LIVES.

 

[dean.]

if by 'smash' you mean 'mario kart 8' and 'mario party 2' then yes we played heaps of smash.

I have two exams the week after this tournament. so...i'll probably still go but it's not confirmed.

 

[ViVa]

I didn't say we played a lot of smash dean.

 

[Dekar289]

i'm confused, when is the mario party 2 tournament?

 

[ViVa]

You missed it.

 

[ndowner]

I'll be there, and i can bring a CRT and cube if I'm able to use a car for the day.

Can anyone give me any parking details, is it free? how close to the venue? etc.

 

[S.D]

There is some parking in the street next to the venue free on Sundays. Get there early for a good spot.
In other news I might actually be able to attend! If possible someone else do the TO stuff I need to cram in as much possible practice as I humanly can before evo.

 

[Dekar289]

ofc, i'll be there early this time so I'll take care of it

 

[joeyjoeyjoejoe]

Given that someone is willing to bring a recording set up and edit/upload the videos after, I'll be happy to manage it for the day. It will be a good chance for people to practice their commentary in time for SS

 

[Hughie]

Yeah, I can bring my recording stuff, I just need someone to bring a usb mic if possible.

btw my recording setup is just my school laptop and my dazzle, portability ftw

 

[Meredy]

Defs gonna be there. Melee top 3 here I come.

 

[S.D]

I like your confidence!

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it after all

 

[Redact]

yay no sam i hate sam he is a loser
