St. Paul Biweeklies!

[James Sparrow]

well we did singles and doubles at the fest 2 weeks ago and i don't think those ended until about 5 ish... given we did start maybe 2 hours after the fest started. but we also only had like 10 people there.

when did the fest actually start, and how many setups were there? yeah 10 person tournies should run quite fast though

 

[yoshii]

Who cares how long it lasts., its smash! Play forever!!

 

[D. Disciple]

I second that!

 

[James Sparrow]

it started at 12, tournies around 2 o clock. we had 4 setups.

 

[Whitefire]

just to be sure, what time do you want us there? and what time do the tourneys start?

 

[BlueWolf25]

I want the teams bracket to start at about 1:00 tomorrow, so it would be great if everyone would arrive at or before 12:30, especially if you're bringing setups. I'll be setting up everything around noon, so between 12 and 12:30 is the prime time to show up.

 

[D. Disciple]

I get off of work at 4:30 since no one wants to take it, so if I can somehow convince my mom to take me up there still, I can do a lot of friendlies then.

 

[Wave⁂]

well, the earliest i could get there is like, 4 pm.

 

[teflon_climbers]

annoying where are you coming from?

I'll give you a lesson for free since you're missing the tourney . You'll probably learn more than you've ever learned before :3

and btw your post counts still all suck.

 

[Wave⁂]

shoreview, but my parents make me go to Chinese school cause im asain and stuff,and that's from like noon to 3.

 

[DarkRoom]

maybe there could just be a Smashfest while the tourney's going on....

 

[Eci4]

maybe there could just be a Smashfest while the tourney's going on....

about this, usually in tournies, IF there are systems not being used for tournament matches, they are open for friendlies... the problem is, usually all setups go to tournament use during a tourney... it makes sense too... I don't know how many they are normally having at these as I havent made it to one yet, but if there are enough maybe they could designate 1 or 2 setups solely for friendlies/money matches outside of tournament play...

but yeah, if you show up to late for the tournament, you should be able to get a few friendlies in I'm sure

 

[James Sparrow]

we would need more setups and more room if that would be possible. alternatively we'd need less people. and i don't like the second option.

 

[D. Disciple]

Oct. 21st I have a higher chance of making it too, I'm requesting for that off, I can't get the 7th off, because my team leader just made the schedule and she was kinda scary today as well.

Edit - Well seeing as it is, the smashfest is basically for friendlies while the tourney you probably wont be able to get a lot in. But yes bringing in more setups could solve that problem very easily, but if the place is too small you are quite limited on how many setups you can put up and room as well. So the best bet would wait for a t.v to get open, like once you get into semi-finals I guess and probably play a little more after the tourney has ended.

 

[James Sparrow]

yeah, everyone except like 4 people left right after the tourney... so they all missed out on the infinite double jump friendlies and everything.

 

[teflon_climbers]

October 7th COK2 who's down for it?

I will hopefully be accquiring a new car before October 7th, but if I don't I'm seeing if anyone in MN was interested in going to this one. If I get my car I'll definitly be driving it to ohio, but if I don't hopefully someone here has some transportation :3

Crashman is also interested in this tourney, and it's Dope's last tourney!!!!! I kinda wanted to go just to bid Dope the motha fuggin falco who started me smoking farewell lol.

Superdoodleman? Aaron? Luke and Deepok I'll talk to you? Bluewolf?

 

[Wave⁂]

w00t, my parents had this wierd discussion about chinese schooling and it-- *censored because of boredom*

anyways, i'm chinese home schooled now. that save gas, $100 per semester and trees. plus, it save 1 hr of driving time^_^

 

[Eci4]

annoying, that mean you can make it to the next one?

I talked to my friend tyler like last night, we're gonna get out there to one of the events in october (currently Im pushing for tournament) so yeah... so we might actually be bringing 3 other people with us too... I like the numbers I'm seeing for these events though

 

[Aarosmashguy]

yay more people! by then my apprentice dita will be even better and hopefully will get a better place =) and i charge him 0$ for lessons.

 

[ChopTheRed]

We should have a low tier tourney too. Just for fun mostly.

 

[James Sparrow]

dita is cool, i played a bunch of friendlies with him.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

Yes! We should definitely do a low tier tourney. Thay way my G&W has better chances. >_> I've also been working on my Pichu game...

btw, which tiers constitute a low tier tourney? It it just Bottom Tier? Or is it Low/Bottom?

I'm hoping it's just Bottom

its called a LOW tier tourney for a reason... because it only uses the bottom tier... haha, no seriously its all low tier, which means link and under

 

[ChopTheRed]

I play a mean Link, thats why I suggested it

 

[Eci4]

chop, as long as other people would be up for it I am... I've wanted to do low tier since I started, but mostly because I started with Ness... now I have some other options though

 

[Seanson]

The more the merrier. I am going to try to come visit from college on the weekend of the next tourney so I can get back in the action. I probably havent played for more than 6 hours in the past month (not counting the time at the tourney, but that time isn't really the best time to practice techincal stuff), so I was a bit rusty. Nonetheless I took 3rd in teams with SDM, so I hope to be back in a month with some REAL skill, not the fake skill that showed in singles

Anyways I found someone who plays smash down here at WSU so I can practice on a steady basis. Hooray!

Also, I am for a lower tier tourney, seeing as I have taken an interest in pikachu I'm trying to actually get good with him rather than just mediocre with a bunch of people.

 

[Eci4]

If not many people are interested in low tiers we could always get 5 or 6 of us around one cube and just do a round robin for a couple of bucks to first... that would have to be at a fest though because theres pretty much no way we could do it during a tourney

 

[Seanson]

All it takes is more setups. We only had 4 at this last tourney, and they were all being used for a majority of the time. Often there was downtime if you weren't playing a match, and not to mention once you get knocked out all you can do is watch until the tourney gets down to semis and finals. There were more people than setups/4, so even with everyone playing some could only watch.

Thats just an idea. More setups would distract people. Between matches for example people are tempted to play friendlies, like some did at the tourney, and it held it up. However, of course the MM must be battled out, and you just GOTTA play this dudes ganondorf, or whatever else comes up. Maybe a solution would be to dedicate a setup to specifically friendlies and the others for the tourney. This would ensure that everyone (even people like me that got eliminated ASAP) would have a place to play rather than sit around for the hour or more that I did, watching. As entertaining as that is, I wanted to play and experience more versus stuff. I probably shouldn't expect everyone to be able to play during the singles though, but wouldn' it be nice?

 

[Eci4]

already suggested that a few posts back, and ideally it would be great, but an extra setup would (most likely) just be used to make the tourney go faster...

 

[teflon_climbers]

It's hard moving setups around. and if you bring a setup you could probably ask the tourney organizer really nicely if you can dedicate it to something you like.

Just make sure that if it's at bluewolf's spot you bring an extension cord, maybe two... that back part of the room was asking to get used ...

 

[Endless Nightmares]

its called a LOW tier tourney for a reason... because it only uses the bottom tier... haha, no seriously its all low tier, which means link and under

Dang, that means there's gonna be a lot of Luigi and Link pwnage going on...

But I have GW so it's all good.

 

[ChopTheRed]

I thought Luigi was above Link?

 

[Eci4]

nope, link is directly above luigi...

56k, no one ever said this was happening, dont get to excited yet... And as for who plays what... I know for sure a few people play game and watch, and theres a few ness players too.. truthfully I think you'd see less link/luigis than you'd think... BUT, a low tier tournament isnt happening as far as anyone knows yet...

 

[Aarosmashguy]

hey hey hey a low tier tourney sounds great =) and for no money im fine with that. I suppose I would be useing young link or roy depends. how bout it bluewolf?

o and I want to go to the next smashfest but chexr doesnt. Hes just in it for the tourneys. so I have no ride =(
sdm?sean?darkroom? anyone want to give me a ride?
