SMYM 9 in Champaign, IL February 7th (MELEE) ***EVENT UPDATE***

[Tink]

rofl, i dont see the problem here <_<.....every smym was like this and all were amazing(thanks in part to andy of course =) ). most of them had upwards of 70+ people at them as well. thats a pretty big tournament if you ask me <_<.

 

[Echo]

I'll see if anyone else from the crew wants to go... if they do we'll probably show up. Still a long time away yet so its hard to say.

 

[AOB]

I'm not sure if I'll be there all for the whole thing. I mean, what am I gonna do for 12 hours... play Melee? Bring some homework?

 

[SuperMatt]

this will run smoothly and fit in 12 hours, i dont care what anyone says

 

[brickman]

Agreed.

We will need help to do so, this will require the help of some pro *** organizers though. Namely, Mr. Andy O'Brien esq. and anyone else who has been previously involved in SMYMs.

We can be pessimistic about this, or we could get really excited and work our ***** off and make sure that we have a melee event that lives up to the awesome reputation of SMYM.

 

[AOB]

I'm not coming at all if you call me AOB, and I will not come AND I will think bad things about Jews if you call me AoB with a lowercase "o." It's not Ace of Bass or *** of Bowser or Anything of Bwhatever, it's Andy O'Brien.

I'm actually puzzled--it's easier to hold shift for the whole thing. Why do so many people go to the trouble of not capitalizing the o when it's supposed to be uppercase? I guess an acronym with two letters surrounding an o just feels better if the o is small.

 

[dmac]

someone revive earthbowser from the dead so he can come

 

[Dekuschrub]

doesnt he like work in a casino

 

[dmac]

a zombie casino...

 

[brickman]

Andy, your name has been very fixed.

Unfortunately, Dave O has remained Dave McDoogle ever since that fateful tournament when you played for the last name of O'Brien.

 

[SuperMatt]

he should be Dave Avery haha

 

[AOB]

Poor Dave. He shouldn't have accepted those terms.

 

[Scar]

dmac are you and Dark going to this? bc if you do I'll find a way.

 

[brickman]

he was so young...

Also, this needs to be directed back to the UIUC thread.

We'll try and figure out when and where, if necessary to be rescheduled, the tournament will be.

We'll try and keep it as close to the original date as possible, and perhaps it wont change at all, but we want to make sure we can accommodate everyone and make sure this is best.

me and jbm want to go!!

 

[Dew Rag]

A venue that only allows 12 hrs for one day for a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament?

Show them Darkrain vs. Cactuar set from e-52, it will hypnotize them into changing their minds.

i believe most or all SMYM's were like this so i don't see why you should be complaining

 

[AOB]

The last two finished up by midnight (out of necessity). Of course, we had a few hours in the morning to set up, and if we get those few hours this time around, there shouldn't be any problems.

You are a trouble maker, Andy.

 

[AOB]

Boy, for once I make a helpful, well-meaning post with no jokes, and this is what I get.

JTurley (I remember you--we played on Gamebattles), just ask darkrain. SMYM is one of his favorite tourneys.

 

[Davrob1]

Smym 9!
Hell Ya Guys

 

[JBM falcon08]

is this tourney gonna be possible to happen in one day if we have like 100-120 people?

melee is coming back. for realz.

 

[~GregDang!~]

If you're doing pools, I don't see this tourney being done in 12 hours.

 

[DrewB008]

its been done before, with 100 people

but it was pools of like 8 and only top 2 made it out

 

[dmac]

i think they killed off doin teams pools too... just straight bracket play with crew separation seeding

 

[DrewB008]

nah cause i didnt make it out of teams pools i remember

 

[dmac]

im thinkin of some earlier smyms then... they did do that at least once

i think thats what happened at 3... oh man that was a long time ago...

 

[AOB]

At 3 we didn't do pools at all. We had almost 100 people, which at the time was more than we were ready for.

 

[ihavespaceblondes]

...you people talking about SMYM3 make me feel like I missed out on so much, since my first one was 7.

 

[Dekuschrub]

i've never been to an SMYM

 

[DrewB008]

yeah i was talking about 6

 

[FaceLoran]

With pre-registration I'm sure it could be done.

Nebraska should be creeping !!

 

[Uli]

[RaynEX]

I'm coming to this for sure. I emailed to pre-reg. I love you ****ing americans.

mms when I come through anyone? I want to meet all the awesome people I didn't get to at e52. Oh..and dmac 3rd strike all daaai we have to find a way to set that **** up at this. lol

 

[Mars-]

I am going to try to make this but I am not sure yet because it's a 3 hour ride, which in my opinion is worth it but not my parents, zZz.

Anyway is there housing for this?

 

[Scar]

oh Wait this is only a one day tourney?? Goddammit.

 

[NJzFinest]

Green Greens banned

 

[~GregDang!~]

If this is gonna reach a National Level. Shouldn't it be a 2 day?

 

[Big Burn]

subscribed....

 

[dmac]

the venue doesn't allow for a two day event, its not an option... its a church. melee on a sunday would be blasphemous!
