Smash Brothers University (SBU) 1.5 - April 28th, 2013 - Stony Brook, NY, USA

[bubbaking]

I wasn't actually talking about you. I was talking about the ones you refer to who "are more familiar with the Marth matchup" but might have trouble with Roy. I can see what you're saying. For me, the biggest difference between the two (that favors Roy) is how they recover. Roy's upB seems to have a much more protective hitbox and its KB is more appreciable. I know Roy is lighter, falls faster, and gains much less vertical distance with his recovery, but the horizontal distance gained can surprise someone, especially since it can be varied, and I find it a lot harder to deal with Roy's recovery when he's actually in a position to recover.

 

[JKJ]

Man, a Doc main and an IC's secondary. You are just a bundle of unconventional matchups. I must play you on the 28th.

 

[Comatose]

Haha, yeah we definitely have to play. Speaking of ICs, is wobbling legal at SBU? Didn't say anything about it in the rules. And lol I'm bringing a few others who play unconventional characters as well, as secondaries at least haha

 

[bubbaking]

We have the MBR rules, which we're using, linked and embedded in the OP. As far as I can see, they don't mention wobbling. I've talked with some ICs (and other char's) players on the issue and it's not really a big deal. It will be legal.

If it really bothers someone, just pick up Peach or Samus or something.

 

[Comatose]

Good haha. Wouldn't want to make the mistake of wobbling and break a rule at my first tourney lol. Good that it's legal haha. Not as easy as it looks anyway, especially with how hard it is to get a grab in todays metagame

 

[bubbaking]

You won't get a grab on me anyway.

I received a crash course on that character from one of his best.

 

[Comatose]

Haha. Might not even get the chance to wobble anyone. With how hard it is to get a grab, and how close nana has to be to wobble it makes it hard to set up haha. And anyway, I play more doc haha.

 

[Tessius352]

I can't wait to return to the Smash Community. Looking forward to seeing all of you there.

[Knut]

yea, imma come through. i'll bring a full settup with melee aswell.

 

[TheGrape]

We will be raffling off 2 white controllers + a few other prizes. We also have 1 recording setup in here. If someone else can help in with another recording setup that'd be great. We'll be able to provide discount for anyone helping out with recording.

 

[RvlvRBobcat]

I'll be bringing a full setup too, Roys Unite!.
Also which buiding is this gonna be in? Union?

 

[TheGrape]

It's going to be in a larger place that we reserved for the event. Around 15 mins walk from the Union. Directions are on the previous page if you need them

 

[JKJ]

...
...
Hype.

 

[S l o X]

How's the Melee turnout for these?

 

[JKJ]

last time, 30-40 people.
This time, looking to crack 50+.

 

[TheGrape]

From what I know, I think M2K is carpooling with a few others to this tournament so we're definitely preparing for a 50+ turnout if word spreads out. Hope more guys can spread the hype! That'd be great if we get more guys from the NYC area to come over as well.

Speaking of NYC players coming over, we'll see about moving the doubles start time from 12PM to 1PM. If you look at the train times, you'd have to leave from Penn at 9AM to make it on time since the next train has a 12:15PM arrival. This way NYC players can take the 10:22AM train from Penn instead which is much more feasible.

 

[Leacero]

I'll be at SBU from Friday on, so if you wanna get some practice in before this let me know, Paulo + co. Jesse might be visiting on Saturday too. Maybe do some Roth Melee?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I'll show up for PM when If I can plan a way to get their via the LiRR(Since that's really close to me and the A train is still outta commision in Far Rockaway). I should be more prepared for tournaments this time instead of misfortune following my every move during the Melee days(I miss those days though)

 

[bubbaking]

Just take the Port Jefferson line all the way up. Stony Brook University is the second-to-last stop.

I will have to go alone

My starting point can be Port Authority

Can anyone get me from there? Sunday morning?
or can i have exact instructions to get there, starting at Port Authority.
and some cell numbers as backup?

 

[TheGrape]

M2K has a carpool so whoever wants to go and lives around New Jersey, NYC, LI can send M2K a PM and they should pick you up. You can PM me also and I'll relay the message.

[bubbaking]

Updated the OP with the new info. It's right above the rules.

 

[zebra]

Would anyone be able to give me a ride from the Port Jefferson fairy dock to this? I would be getting in at around 10:15 if someone could give me a ride
