* Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.

i should be going to this! hopefully we get some good competition!

kels wanna team so we can practice if we go to Mi the next week 0_o?

Fortress | Sveet · Aug 28, 2009

i'm going to spam here since the vro zone is over

old news, but i was just watching it. vro you need to step up the falcon punch tricks, start reading the back option and falcon punch them. the timing is before they roll. you can do it!

Elliot Gale · Aug 28, 2009

Should let people bring Brawl. No harm in expanding the audience.

Also should be at least one friendlies only TV for each game.

Yeah.

Tink · Aug 28, 2009

hey, if brawl people wanna pay the venue fee and put money in the melee pot, im down with that

. assuming there will be a venue fee.....if you wernt going to have one, you shoudl atleast have one for pop and chips...like at vros!

Fortress | Sveet · Aug 30, 2009

ok i've been convinced. venue fee of $5, i'll bring drinks and snacks for all. does anyone have preferences?

**** you better be buying a lot of chips, $5, that means if 10 people show up $50 worth of chips? Assuming one person eats maybe a half a bag and then drinks a half a bottle of pop, you should consider lowering the venue fee.

raychun1 · Aug 30, 2009

LOL, $50 worth of chips and drink is pretty funny. that's fine, but couldn't we just spend 5 bucks on our own food somewhere else? relying on sveet to buy us snacks sounds mad weird.

i would suggest putting the venue fee into a big pot for a later tourny, something like the event 52 ppl did. they saved up the fees and made a big bonus which attracted a bunch of big name players.

or maybe just scrap the fee for the first one just to see who's coming. who's even going to these? so many ppl are gonna be gone by the 12th. and the place is free, so i dunno. i'm okay with whatever, but there's a chance i might even be going

Fortress | Sveet · Aug 30, 2009

ray chun, shut up.

i've talked to a some people and it seems like a lot of people from the vro zone are going to make it. if i buy 5-6 12pks of pop and then enough individual chip packs for everyone, i'm looking at a good chunk of money. vro's venue fee didn't even cover his costs. and trying to collect venue fee can be hard because certain people don't like to pay.

i think i'm gonna do mt dew and coke (common favorites) and then mostly doritos for chips. maybe pretzels instead.

raychun1 · Aug 30, 2009

??? your ideas are fine, sveet, i dun care. i was trying to give some suggestions. i prolly won't even be there. actually, i'll stop by, pay whatever fee just to pound on the joke characters you got. you haven't taken a match off me in like 2 years.

Quaz · Aug 30, 2009

I might just end up going to this instead of Racine.

lmao are you serious? you BARELY won that MM last stock 3rd match. and dont even start talking about my characters, your sheik is pathetic

raychun1 · Aug 30, 2009

*shakes head* first off, you can run your tourny however you wanna. i guess looking back, my suggestions were just outta my azz so they weren't really good. fair enough?

secondly, you really think my chars are pathetic? aight, $50 mm? 100? i'll do any amount, whatever matchup u want, son. if you lose, i'll even give you your money back if you admit you're not even close to my skill level

Kels88 · Aug 30, 2009

Charging a venue fee is fine and all, but what about the people who don't care about the snacks and just want to play?

Edit: Ray, I'll take you up on any of those $mm. Except my marth vs. sheik.

raychun1 · Aug 30, 2009

ok kels, $50, your marth vs my sheik? ROFL

edit: aight, sveet i'll do that matchup. g'luck, bro.

Fortress | Sveet · Aug 30, 2009

zing! ray chun is the man

Tink · Aug 30, 2009

i cant wait for this....should be fun!

Fortress | Sveet · Sep 1, 2009

I'm interested in the stage striking format that they used at genesis. In case anyone didn't know, genesis had 7 neutrals (6 + dk64) and each player took turns striking a stage until only 1 was left. That stage was the first stage to be played on in the set.

Pros:
* characters with lots of bad stages can do better (ICs and CF could strike FoD/YS/BF without wasting their stage ban)
* stage bans would be used to stop counter pick stages more often than to prevent a bad random
* both players would be on fairly even footing on the first stage (often the most important stage in the set)

Cons:
* would take a lot longer
* would be more confusing, especially to people who don't read the threads
* some people like to ***** about everything, and i'd have to listen to them

Elliot Gale · Sep 1, 2009

It's a good system.

But venue fee? Really? Fack.

iamthemicrowave · Sep 1, 2009

BF is not a bad falcon stage...but i support stage striking

slomo431 · Sep 1, 2009

it probably ends up being pokemon stadium a lot

Fortress | Sveet · Sep 1, 2009

best stage anyways.

LoOshKiN · Sep 1, 2009

I would like to try stage striking. I'll request off work for this too.

cykofox · Sep 1, 2009

If I show up, Im not paying no venue fee. Aight?

Quaz · Sep 1, 2009

dang I tried to request off work but I couldn't get off. guess I can't come to this now.

Tink · Sep 1, 2009

better be bringing a tv then cyko

.

i should be bringing a setup for this

I agree with this.

Meneks · Sep 1, 2009

If i find a way to go to this and have the money..
$5 mms? Sveet? Chun?

raychun1 · Sep 1, 2009

interesting. meneks, have you been leveling up??? it's been a while. let's do $10.

Meneks · Sep 2, 2009

Leveling up? I beat the game rofl... But no seriously... $10? Maybe I have to see if I can even go to this

raychun1 · Sep 2, 2009

lol, whatever you want. if you think you have a chance, 10 bucks ain't much.

Meneks · Sep 2, 2009

I know I have a chance..
And in that case i'll stick to 5
