Brinstar and Rainbow Cruise are both counterpick. No Fair is staying banned.

And yes we will be having pools. We're spectulating 40 people to show up so we will have 8 pools of 5 with the top 4 progressing into brackets.

This is going to be immense.

Oh nice, 32 man bracket. Only last place in each pool is gone :p. Im guessing for doubles theres no need for pools right? I say this because im guessing there is only gonna be 10-15 teams but its your tournament and im kinda new so yea..

Only because most team matches were delayed for a bunch of reasons like the players in the team had single matches to deal with etc. Brawl teams are epic, more teams the better!

ya, brawl teams only took 7 hours because of players in brawl singles or melee singles. the actual matches went by pretty quick so hopefully this time if there are 40 ppl doing singles then 18-20 teams!

QFT.

That, and the extremely long food break that Nate + Azns friends went for.

Don't worry, I'm sure tons of people will sign up for teams. Just keep your cool and get your matches done when I ask and this will run smoothly.

I'm thinking about making a GIANT pasta dish for everyone as well so that no one has to leave for dinner.

Is everyone ok with pasta + sauce?

I really would like to come to this, just to see Niagara play, and give some support for Sauga. But Smashturbation is going on that day, and I wanna help out with their tournament prep for Georgia. Next time there is a huge thing going on, I'll come by.

lol sorry.

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME.

Did you just knock brinstar? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?

That stage is beautifully built. Norfair on the other hand should have 8x less ledges and it'd be good.

Says the Jigglypuff main LOL. I kid.

Brinstar is a stable counterpick. The tentacles and mush being there/being destroyed adds a spice to the pace of the game, while the Lava does almost nothing to change the pace of a match. It's fine lol.

LOL personally I would be able to play melee for a looong *** time more if the random stages were like " Mute City, Brinstar, Donkey Kong 64 and Pokefloats" hell... it doesn't matter which character I'm playing, I enjoy matches on those stages a million times more. Except for a good old doubles match on FD.

LOLL!

Once again, says the Jiggs main. I kid, Mute and Brin are the only good Jiggs levels in that bunch anyway. But I agree, I remember watching Imadh's Falcon vs Noah's Fox on DK64 at Smashturbation. Man, it was an epic match.


But some counterpicks like Corneria and Japes are gimmicky, but for the boring reasons. Like lawl laser camping on Japes. >_> It's only useful to force a Marth main to swap.

Hey people,
I'm kind of new here.

There's a high chance I'm gonna be attending this.
I know Dejana, but she's giving other people a ride too, so I don't know how it'll work out. I'll find out soon.


Anyways, the costs are confusing me.
10$ to enter, 5$ for venue fee. What about food/drink? Does everyone just go and buy their own?

Looking forward to going to this and getting decimated by you guys :p

Does anybody need a partner for doubles?


Also for the crew battles, for the lulz we should tell anybody whos not in a crew to just go ahead and form groups of 5, so all the scrubs can play in the crew battles too :p it would be a fun experiance for everybody, especially new players who aren't in a crew or have never been in a crew battle.

How do crew battles work anyways? also, everyone who doesnt have a doubles partner yet. should try and find one before the tourney starts? that way everyone can enter doubles and singles!

Crew battles work with each team having the same number of players, 5 for example.

The matches are 1v1, Each crew chooses who they're going to send out first. Those two players fight. Say the winning player finished with 2 stock left. The winning player goes on to the next round, and the loosing player's crew picks the next member of their team to go up (counterpicking people basically). Then when the match starts, the player than finished with 2 stock in the last round, kills himself once, so he has 2 stocks. Then the match starts from there. Its like everybody is sharing from a pool of stock.

Theres some additional rules about stages and character selection and what not.

Well there already is the one toronto grew with Runaway Ambrose and JL, and whoever else they bring, plus niagara has their own crew, but for those not in crews or just coming for fun (like some of the locals will be) its not hard to find 4 people.

I could probably go with you in doubles Kevin. Haven't decided if I want to do doubles or not yet, but If I do and if you want, I will.

<3 Pasta
