Smash (r)Evolution:
ev-o-lu-tion:
–noun
1. any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane.
rev-o-lu-tion:
–noun
1. an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.
Evolution and Revolution, both words connotate change, be it for better or for worse. Brawl, in a way, encompasses both of these terms; it brings drastic change to not only gameplay but also to the community on a whole. The gameplay has…evolved in a dramatic way; completely altering how we think of and play Smash Brothers; due to the lower levels of technical skill required, it is now much easier to be good at this game, mind games as such have changed, the pace is slower and there are now many more characters to choose from. These evolved, easier to master mechanics, hated or loved depending on whom you talk to, will bring a new influx of Smashers to the community and as such…leads to a revolution.
Even before Brawl’s release here in Sydney already we have seen an increase in our numbers, I cannot begin to imagine our numbers for future tourneys - surely they shall at least double. However from this influx of new Smashers, all raised on Brawl, comes the revolution, the masses will topple the few, and Brawlers shall reign supreme! We shall see a new rise of Smash to the levels that we have not seen before. Already all around the world, gaming is becoming much more main stream in culture and entertainment, MLG is one good example of this.
Brawl will be huge it will only be a matter of time before we begin to see its effects, I for one anticipate what shall come of it for it shall truly be a (r)evolution of everything we know as Smashers. And that being said Sydney will take its first tentative steps into this new beginning with its first ever Brawl only tourney, hosted by the great people at Revolution CD.
Ok…enough with all the attempts to be deep and meaningful here are the details of whats going down:

THE SWISS SYSTEM (for those that it confuses...which is many apparently)
- The Swiss system is based on a set of rounds with an accumulative ranking ladder (much like the AFL or NRL ladders). The difference in the Swiss system is that you play unique opponents that share a similar win/loss ratio to yourself.
- The first round will be completely randomized. In every round, you play your opponent in 2 games (stages are randomly elected). The result should be recorded as 2W-0L, 1W-1L, or 0W-2L.
- Singles will be played in as many successive rounds as possible within a time limit (say, 3 hours). The faster the group completes their rounds, the more rounds will be completed.
- The final 8 or 16 players will advance into a standard Double Elimination Final.
**SYDNEY RULESETS TO BE DISCUSSED**
Counter Picking stages should be discussed, I don’t really any of them to actually play tourney matches on…but at the same time, its kinda hard to ban so many stages by myself…so this should become our discussion…in the Sydney thread.
