Thats even if i can go with bear... if he lets me and such

 

[TGM]

BEAR! Can i go PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

 

[Xelic]

FINALLY, a big tourney in my city. Jeez, it only took 20 years.

 

[Hylian]

I will definitly be coming to this!!! I look forward to playing everyone! Should be very fun. And I promise not to dissapoint this time ^_^!

I AM ENTERING DDR!!! Lol. I have entered 3 DDR tournaments before and got 1st in every one including one which had over 40 people ^_^. I haven't played in over a year though so I'm sure I am rusty as ****.

And someone bring a camera!!!! PLEASE!

 

[IsmashedYOURmom]

Yea, not sure if I can make it.

It'd be my first tournament for sure though. In which case I have a newbish question.

Being a tennis player, when one enters a pro tournament, you're gauranteed to get some money. If it's a low level tournament, and you lose first round, you probably won't make a profit, inf act you I know you wouldn't. Let's say you pay 15 bucks to get in, and lose first round but you get 7 bucks. Still down 8 dollars. So what I'm asking is:

Do you get money for losing in a semi-final, or any round for that matter?

 

[majoras.]

1 2 3 place gets money, usually,
also ill see if i can make this one ^.^

 

[Hylian]

Majoras! Come! I want to team with you if I don't team with Zev...Zev comes first though lol.

 

[Felix15c]

Gabe, yes we still have the Gamecube.

Wombat, I live about 10 min. away from gamelot, off of Tezel.

We've held 4 smash tournaments and a variety of other tournaments and i'm pretty sure the TV's aren't laggy. But I sometimes bring an HDTV with a Wii and component cables, some people complain about lag, some don't. So it'll be set to free play the entire day.

 

[majoras.]

lol, yes, well do our 1000 taunts in one minute thingy like at evo ^.^

Only first, second, and third get any money. I've personally never liked this system. Basically, if you go to a tournament, you're almost gauranteed to lose all your money. That'd be fine if we weren't paying so **** much to register.

$15 dollars is a lot of money when we're basically just paying a group of the same four or five guys to show up to the tourney. Most of us don't have a chance in hell of beating Wobbles and just want to go to have fun. If fifty people show up to this, that's a freakin' $750 pot. I just don't see the logic in handing all that money to three people.

I'm not saying EVERYONE should get money; but when you think about it, it doesn't matter if the entry fee is $1 or $20. Either way, 95% of us will lose our money. You could argue that with a smaller pot it wouldn't be worth it for the top players to show up since there's less money for them to gain... but the rest of us are showing up not only knowing that we won't win money, but willingly GIVING our cash to the top players.

This is just a rant.. I guess I could just show up for friendlies; but that still doesn't have that same feel.

 

[Broly]

You Know Broly's Going

 

[DoH]

That's what tournaments are all about, giving your money to people who are better than you. This is the spirit of capitalism people.

 

[Espy Rose]

Hm, DoH, did I ever play against you?

Sorry for the off-topicness, but it's been bugging me.

 

[RoKnTexas]

BIOTCHES! ROK NEEDS A RIDE FOR THIS GOD **** TOURNAMENT FROM DALLAS! I need to show off the eliteness of my Roy/Marth/Falco/ Etc. etc. (I've diversed, Roy still the main though, he counters all, but I felt as playing him it wouldn't be fair to top players since they're helpless against his omnipotentence. ) SO IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A RIDE LET ME KNOW! I WOULD APPRECIATE GREATTTTTTLY!

 

[Masterer Betty]

I demand a SF tourney, noobs

 

[Wobbles]

If it makes you feel better, I can't go XD

But that's not really the point, is it?

 

[DoH]

Ummmm

Who am I supposed to win teams with?

JORDAN!!

 

[majoras.]

Roy still the main though, he counters all,

*coff*not samus*coff*

 

[Xelic]

LOLZ, since this is a short drive from Austin, Wes should be in attendance. No double Peach this time roooofflfllzlelzlzl.

Also, LOLOL@the guy whining about not getting money. Why should people who are bad at this game get money? Isn't that the point of the tournament? Good players are rewarded for their hard work and the bad players get to practice and gain a lot of experience. They might even level up and evolve.

Anyway, if you want money, stop sucking. I've learned from experience that it DOES in fact work. Also, try to make sure Wes doesn't go to a tourney. That works out even better.

 

[Wobbles]

He does have a point though, which is that until you get really good, it can often be a serious drain on funds to keep going to tournaments to get better. That turns into quite a vicious circle and is pretty detrimental to people who want to improve.

Although, Krazy Kirby Kid was wise enough to point out to me that a lot of improvement is based on thinking about your game and consciously implementing changes. It's not just about playing against the good players (although that helps).

So, like Xelic said... if you like winning, get better ^_^

 

[DoH]

Jordan, if Wes doesn't go that means you win and we can still team, duhhhhhhh

 

[uglywombat2004]

Gawd Felix...I friggin live in Northern hills...

Meh, I hope i have a free weekend whenever this is.

 

[TGM]

*coff*not samus*coff*

smart kid.

 

[DoH]

Puffball - I don't think so, but I did watch you play Xelic

 

[Hylian]

I remember that match lol. *Xelic rolls. Puff rests Xelic. DoH tells Xelic not to roll* XD

And DoH if you get desperate then I will team with you lol. Peach fox owns >_>.

 

[TGM]

I main samus now guys. getting cavemans samus to 1 stock at high percent was a sign from above. marth is my 2nd now. i will test out me samus main at this tourney.

 

[Hylian]

Awesome. Your samus is probably better then mine now considering I haven't played samus in awhile. I have been playing only kirby and IC's since DABR3 >_>. That tournament destroyed my hope for my mains. I still practice fox for peach though >_>....

 

[TGM]

2nd best samus=me! yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cave will go down.

 

[Hylian]

You still need to play Reqy. He has a VERY good samus. Pray you don't get poke stadium vs him >_>.

 

[TGM]

thats my fav samus stage. and i doubt hes gonna be TOO hard. after all, im the 2nd best samus. where does that guy live? maybe i can play him sum time.

 

[Hylian]

He lives in Austin..He plays with Wes,Xelic and them on fridays and he is very good with missles. His samus is better then mine >_>. Or it was when I played him anyways.

 

[Broly]

majoras played caveman a samus ditto set and took him to last stock all matches and beat him once, so yeah i think that if we go well see whos 2nd best. majoras FTW
