St. Paul Biweeklies!

[TemPesT-]

that't be sweet to go to a WI tourny...although my parents would probably disaprove lol, maybe sometime this summer who knows?

 

[James Sparrow]

You should look into going to HJ5, that is in june i think, and it will be uber.

 

[GreenBunny9999]

I going to post so I don't have to go to the 2nd page of threads yeah.....

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I think the MN Forums killed this thread lol

But the MN Forums are basically this thread with more stuff.

 

[Eci4]

the problem is, anyone looking for competitive smash will end up here, if they happen to be from MN, they won't see the thread and know to go to our forums... so yeah

 

[Ulti]

Judging by the traffic that saw/checked for this topic, it shouldn't be a huge problem. Someone will post wondering if they're the only smasher in MN and we'll likely point them to the new forum.

 

[James Sparrow]

Yeah, and I'm sure enough of us still browse smashboards just as much as MN boards.

 

[Seanson]

maybe a few of us should link to the MN boards in our sigs, so any newcomers will notice the forum.

 

[FluxWolf]

I have it in my sig. just in case someone looks at it and is interested. It would be nice if more people from MN would, then it might lure in some more members.

 

[ecarlson05]

Hey guys, first time noticing this thread, I live in Uptown and I am thinking about coming to this tourney in St. Paul tomorrow. I am not great by any means, but I know what I'm doing. Is essentially anyone welcome?

 

[James Sparrow]

Yes, everyone is welcome. Tomorrow's event is a fest, so no money tournaments, but there may be free tourneys as well as oppurtunities to money match people.

 

[mrray55430]

Yeah, same time same place like usuall right?? 12:30 at St.Thomas right? or is it one Mr.Sparrow??

 

[Ulti]

It starts at 12:00 I believe, but events don't take place until around 1:00 usually.

 

[James Sparrow]

it's 12, events will start earlier if people show up soon enough.

 

[FluxWolf]

We should try to do crews again, I think that would be tons-o-fun.

 

[Ulti]

Crews = good.

Oh, I remember reading at the MN forum that someone will be bringing their wavebird along. Would other people be willing to do that (I'll try to bring mine). the reason why I ask is because in the video section somebody did something called the "double-mint challenge," where you use two wave bird receivers and one controller to control two characters at once (IC style, sort of). Looks kind of fun.

 

[ecarlson05]

That was me, I was thinking about bringing my wavebird. This will be my first mass Smash attendance.

 

[GreenBunny9999]

you want to make sure team attak is off, thats crazy though

 

[TemPesT-]

O.o ...just thinking of 2 waveshines at once is awesome...omg wut about double shine spikes!?

 

[James Sparrow]

lol or like when me and aaron shined sean back and forth like 25 times, you could do that by yourself with 2 foxes.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

Hmm...maybe BlueWolf should change the title to say "St. Paul Biweeklies! Next Tournament Mar. 24th!"

And stuff.

 

[mastr0fmyd0main3]

Man, reading that **** midwest wikipedia site makes me want to actually start traveling huge tournaments. I can't imagine how quickly one is able to get good by going....I mean, that's obviously how the pros do it, regardless of your inherent pwn skills.

I want to go to FC(insert number here)

 

[Cold_Trax]

Hmm...
So the biweekly is on April 7th, tournament April 24th...
Man i'm getting confused over the cost, the dates and the location
Can someone please tell me what is the cost, the dates and where the biweekly and the tournament are going to be held?

 

[Ulti]

Those dates are probably wrong, as OMGiggles (see a bit below on the MW page) is on the 7th.

Regardless, both smashfests and tournaments (aside from OMGiggles) are held at the University of St. Thomas. Singles cost $10, teams cost $10 team (or $5 a person unless you're trying to team with a computer or something). Dates will probably be changed soon.

 

[James Sparrow]

I think it's still 10 $ per team even if you want to team with a computer... ask seanson about that one.

 

[mezbomber]

I'm really interested in attending this soon. How many people on average show up for this? And what goes on at smashfests as opposed to tournies?

 

[Endless Nightmares]

If you're looking to go to the April 7th one, it's actually not taking place that day. The OMGiggles tourney will be happening. (Bluewolf should change that so we don't have disappointed people showing up at St. Thomas )

Here's the OMGiggles thread. http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=98877

At Smashfests, it's basically everyone doing free play all day. Sometimes at smashfests we have tournaments for fun and you don't have to pay. We might do Singles, Doubles, Low Tier or Crew Matches. Crew matches happen a lot. They're lots of fun. But it's mostly just everybody playing friendlies.

At tournaments, a doubles tournament takes place ($10 per team), and then a singles tournament ($10 per person). After the doubles and singles are done, it's basically a smashfest. Sometimes we'll do a crew match. Also, people play friendlies before the tournaments begin.

 

[mezbomber]

is low tier referring to specific characters? also, what does a crew match entail?
one last question, is the tournament on April 21st still happening at St.Thomas?

 

[Endless Nightmares]

In low tier tournaments, you can only use these characters:

Link
Luigi
Donkey Kong
Roy
Young Link
Pikachu
Yoshi
Zelda
Mr. Game and Watch
Ness
Bowser
Kirby
Pichu
Mewtwo

A crew match is basically two large teams of players going against each other. Each team has a captain. There are usually 6 or 7 people on each team. Each player on the team gets the same amount of stock. For example, if there are 6 players on both teams and each player has 5 stock, it's a 30-stock crew match. Everyone has to choose what character they will be ahead of time and stick with that character the whole time. A player from one team will play against a player from the other team. When someone loses all their stock, the captain sends in another player. It goes on until one team loses all their stock (that team loses.) It's a lot of fun, and it's much more simple that it sounds.

The St. Paul Biweeklies are the 14th (smashfest) and 27th (tournament).

Hopefully you can make it to OMGiggles!

 

[mezbomber]

cool...crew matches sound awesome. I'll probably attend the smashfest on the 14th, and learn as much as I can before the tournament.

 

[Cold_Trax]

OK now I understand what's happening ok well this will be great!
I understand the dates and the time. Thanks and see u at OMGiggles and this biweekly everyone!

 

[GreenBunny9999]

that random black guy just walked in and entered singles crazy

 

[Aarosmashguy]

that was pretty weird. Bluewolf, is the next smashfest next saturday?

 

[D. Disciple]

More for your prize that's all I can say, I didn't think he would actually do it, when I saw he pulled out Shiek lol. He had it bad, going up against Baka first, then losing to Eci4.

 

[Eci4]

He was pissed... but it upped my confidence, him johnning 'bout how great my fox was on the phone... I'm not good enough yet for people to be complaining about how good I am...

He tried to counterpick Hyrule Temple against me xD

 

[James Sparrow]

That's because Hyrule Temple is Noob City. Everyone played there as a noob.

 

[Eci4]

I hated hyrule even as a noob....

 

[James Sparrow]

Lies... impossible.

 

[Foxman15]

Hey, I was just wondering if you (Bluewolf) are planning on hosting brawl tournaments after its release. Yeah, I know its soon but I want to know.

 

[mastr0fmyd0main3]

Bloomington eh? Might you be a dour luched or mygel?
