in bigger news aa has improved slightly since playing him 2 years ago

his improvement is glaciel, but it's there.

i'm heading up in june 14, i am not sure specifically when we will be in hokkaido exactly, but i will keep you updated

 

[mixa]

i trash talked emmi on reddit, and that seemed to invoke the wrath of the 70 angsty teens all trying to get into emmis imaginary lady parts

I only saw one person. Using a 9-hour old account. Kinda full of rage.


I thought Dsc was a Battlecow fake? edit: I don't mean to imply that person was Dsc, lol. I'm guessing he kept his Bcow avatar from that day everyone used a Bcow avatar.

dates of aus tournament you dummy

 

[Cobrevolution]

i would love to go to australia but alas i do not have that kind of money

 

[madrush21]

I would like to go also, but depends on the date

 

[Sedda]

Are there any Australians confirmed for Apex?

 

[Sangoku]

Sounds difficult since Apex itself isn't confirmed.

 

[Sedda]

Oh ****. I just assumed it would happen lol

oh well

I did not know there were that many players in au. what's with all the hate =(

where's tacos? where's the luv

 

[asianaussie]

well, if emmi doesnt go to apex she'll never hear the end of it from me

my personal bet is that she loses in pools to queero

I did not know there were that many players in au. what's with all the hate =(

where's tacos? where's the luv

some of the newer players are just cocky and dont know the meaning of luv

i think one of them initially got me banned from the skype group because i had too much of a 'smashboards mentality'

 

[mixa]

i recently joined my local fb group smash thing, and there's a guy with a legit god-complex. kero's got nothing on him

it's happening at the end of august

if i can help you guys out with anything please let me know

 

[KnitePhox]

emmi is a male keyboard player, thanks

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

that's during peru haha

 

[SheerMadness]

Alright mother lickers.

I've decided in honor of my idol Prince that I will alt if I go to another Apex. This time I won't tell the TOs for proper seeding.

Just keep that in the back of your mind when Apex 2015 brackets come out. Randomnoob25 may end up being a little harder than you think.

 

[KnitePhox]

prolly just as randumb, yawn

What's the point of using an alt in real life especially if everyone knows what you look like? Like someone else said earlier, are you gonna wear a paper bag over your head or something?

 

[Sangoku]

I would use an IRL alt in the hypothetical case of me going to a tournament one day.

 

[NovaSmash]

Well, the only way I see using an alt to ever be useful is if no one has ever seen your face before.

 

[Sangoku]

Yeah obviously, that's why I said I could do it. Sheer alting would probably get caught kinda quickly.

 

[Herbert Von Karajan]

Sheer will use an alt and get seeded against bane first round

 

[Shears]

I would use an IRL alt in the hypothetical case of me going to a tournament one day.

We all know what you look like, don't try to fool us Tifa.

 

[SheerMadness]

Who cares if people know what I look like?

You don't register at the door so it's not like they can catch and stop me.

Alting is just about getting a more exciting bracket instead of noobs the first two rounds. Which can be achieved rather easily with the anonymous pre-registration system.

Plus when I show up on Friday and people realize Sheer is here but not on the registration list that should put a little excitement in the air.

Bring on the KB subhumans. One down 2 more to go. Though I doubt Bane ever shows to a tourney.

 

[NovaSmash]

um because you wont fool anyone

 

[Cobrevolution]

[mixa]

didn't this happen last year? sheer talks about the marvels of alting and then doesn't alt

if one guy alting adds excitement, how about two guys? seeding is random anyway so it not like it matters

 

[SheerMadness]

ACTUALLY mixa I alted for Apex 2013. Except I pm'ed the TOs and told them so I'd be properly seeded and people like battlecattle wouldn't whine about having to play me round 1.

A week before Apex Nintendude changed his mind and told me he was going to out me and change my alias to SheerMadness.

So no, I'm not all talk. I just tried to be fair the 1st time I tried and was burned for it. Next time it'll be no mercy.

 

[madrush21]

Next time it'll be no mercy.

If you really wanted to enter anonymously you shouldn't tell people you are going to use an alternate tag ahead of time. Now everyone knows you plan on entering under an alternate name.

I think it would have been more interesting if you didn't tell anyone you were planning on going under an alias; no one would have known prior to Apex (maybe even during Apex) and would make Apex more of a surprise for some, if not, everyone. Nevertheless, people are more likely to expect the unexpected now.

EDIT: Madrush beat me to it (lol).

i like you being fair since the problem with alting is messing up the seeding (which is random in japan so prince can do whatever he wants)
but i guess nintendude wants you to do it the hard way =(

 

[Han Solo]

If you want to do well in a tourney, you should be prepared to beat anyone. I'd gladly take Isai round 1, let alone Sheer.

so u think seeding should be random too or
'cause i'm pretty sure everyone would agree with that statement

 

[KnitePhox]

the problem comes when you consider MOST tournaments are not winner take all + single elim, aka bracket manipulation ETC

you may not want to win if you have to play someone next that you know can beat you, lose to whoever you're playing and get higher up in placement AND HENCE $

 

[mixa]

going to losers on purpose? that never made sense to me. is there any example of this in smash, or, if we look at the apex14 or any other 64 tournament bracket, can we find such a thing? i mean, i'm just looking at the apex14 pools here, and i don't see how anyone would benefit from losing on purpose as to avoid losing to, say, isai on the next round.
i need examples

and i don't know if it's legal, but I see no problem in this type of bracket manipulation

there's that one tourney where chillin lost to have chu dat face m2k and that way they could split against him xD

 

[mixa]

lol, whenever i read those things, i picture those bracket advancements that were depicted in the documentary, but now with a "buddy-buddy collusion", "split" attached to them.

but yeah, i was assuming players are on their own
