=== April 2023 Rotating Game Voting, Showmatch Nomination, & Feedback Form ===
Hey everyone!

April isn't too far away, so it's time for the monthly rotating-game vote!

== ❔ What is this for in the first place? ==
We only have time for 3 brackets at SSF each week, but with Guilty Gear Strive and Smash Ultimate locked into the schedule we still have time for one more!

To figure out which game, we hold a vote each month and run the Top 2 games!
The winning games will be ran on alternating weeks (So the 1st week would be Strive, SSBU and one of the games - followed by Strive, SSBU, and the 2nd game the week after)

Note: If we don't end up having 4 events in a month things will change slightly, but the 1st place game will get priority
== ❔ How does the vote work? ==
We're using a weighted vote system - everyone is able to vote for up to 5 games they'd like to see at SSF, and every vote gives that game a certain number of points (higher-ranked or "closer to 1st choice" games get more points per vote)

== Also, we're opening up signups for the the pre-SSF Showmatches! ==
We're running Showmatches at the start of SSF now as a way to highlight games that we don't have time to fit into our schedule (...and maybe show people why they should vote for them in the rotation!)
If you have a game you'd like to showcase, please let us know on the form and we'll work with you to get something figured out!
(Also, if you have an opponent in mind already that makes things much easier for us!)
Finally, if you have any feedback for us in general this would be a great way to let us know!

=== Salem Smashfests | April 2023 Schedule & Rotating Games ===


It's time to announce the schedule for April!

== Rotating-Game Winners: April 2023 ==
This time we've got Project+ holding strong in first place two months in a row, and King of Fighters XV just barely beating out UNICLR for the second spot!

1st: Project+
2nd: King of Fighters XV
(and 3rd: Under Night In-Birth EXE[clr] )

== Month Schedule | April 2023 ==
- 4/01 Offline SSF (GotW: King of Fighters XV)
  • 4/08 Offline SSF (GotW: King of Fighters XV)
  • 4/15 Offline SSF (GotW: Project+)
  • 4/22 & 4/23 Salem Smashfests 9-Year Anniversary! 🎂
  • 4/29 Offline SSF (GotW: Project+)

Now, you may notice a little something in there that's a bit special...
That's right, the weekend of April 22nd marks 9 Years since the first Salem Smashfests event!

To celebrate, we're going to be doing something a little different!
We're still working on the specifics, but what we know for sure is that we'll be running two days of tournaments (Saturday and Sunday)!
We'll be running some slightly different brackets than normal too - expect things like Waseda-Style Crew Battle Brackets, Squad-Strike/All-Star and Doubles, and other fun brackets like that!

Also, because it was such a close 3rd, we will be running a (normal) bracket for Under Night In-Birth EXE[clr] on Sunday, April 23rd alongside the Anniversary Event!


Please stay tuned for more info on the SSF 9-Year Event in the next few weeks!

=== Salem Smashfests 9-Year Anniversary Event! ===

9-Year Signup Graphic.jpg


Hey everyone!
Hard to believe it's been nine whole years since the first SSF, but... somehow here we are - I hope everyone has enjoyed their time with SSF (and the local communities!) so far!

To celebrate the anniversary, we'll be doing a special 2-Day Event, featuring 8 different games across the weekend!

The goal is to have fun an mix things up a bit, so we'll be mostly running Crew-Battle style brackets for the weekend - show up, bring a friend (or find a teammate there!), and have a great time!


== 4/22 | Saturday Schedule ==
  • 12:00pm | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2v2 Crew Battle Bracket, 1v1 Squad Strike Bracket)
  • 12:15pm | King of Fighters XV (2v2 Waseda-Style Crew Battle Bracket)
  • 2:00pm | Project+ (2v2 Crew Battle Bracket)
  • 2:15pm | Persona 4 Arena: Ultimax (2v2 Waseda-Style Crews)
Saturday Registration:
▶ https://forms.gle/oCgdmHPkZyqNa55b7 ◀



== 4/23 | Sunday Schedule ==

  • 12:00pm | Guilty Gear Strive (2v2 Waseda-Style Crews)
  • 12:15pm | Super Smash Bros. Melee (2v2 Crew Battle Bracket)
  • 2:00pm | Tekken 7 (2v2 Waseda-Style Crews)
  • 2:15pm | UNI[CLR] ('Standard' 1v1 Double-Elimination Bracket)
Sunday Registration:
▶ https://forms.gle/NZaaUSkBjfAwM5Gu6 ◀


❔ What are Waseda-Style Crews?

'Waseda' crews are ones where the player order is figured out first, and then everyone plays once - then the remaining winners fight, until only 1 team remains!
More info: https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Waseda Style

Also, I want to say a very special thank you to every one of you who has ever come to an SSF, stopped by and said hi on Facebook/Discord, entered a Netplay Night or Kickstart League, and everyone else!
(Also huge shoutouts to everyone who's helped with running SSF over the years - we never would've made it this far without you ♥)

Hey everyone!

Just a couple of quick things tonight

1️⃣ Registration for the SSF 9-Year Anniversary is basically full!
If you haven't signed up yet you can still fill the form out to be put on the waitlist - but also if you signed up and for whatever reason won't be able to make it after all, PLEASE let me know sooner rather than later!

(There's technically two spots left on Saturday as of this writing, and Sunday has officially capped!)

2️⃣ There is now a Street Fighter 6 role in the Discord!
If you want to get notified of upcoming news regarding the game, or want to be ping'd for matches once the game is out, make sure you head over to #roles_and_notification_controls and click on the 👊 icon!

3️⃣ Speaking of SF6, we're still trying to figure out how we'll be running it at SSF!
If you could fill out this form so that we know where people plan on grabbing it, it would be a huge help!

Yo!
Today is the first day of the 9-Year Anniversary Celebration - hard to believe it's already been 9 years!

I wanted to make sure to post a couple of quick reminders before today (and tomorrow), so please make sure you read this if you'll be showing up!

1️⃣ You probably want to bring a pair of cool-er clothes - there's going to be a lot of people in that room, and unfortunately the venue is still having the power issues from the next door construction (so we'll only have power for 1-2 fans) 😅

2️⃣ Please bring your own controller(s)!

3️⃣ Please make sure you are at the venue by the start time for any brackets you're in! We're going to be juggling quite a few brackets today, so we're going to be doing our best to start right around the scheduled time
Also, if you're running late make sure you message me, otherwise you will just be DQ'd 😅


Anyways, just had to get that stuff out of the way and make sure everyone knows - thanks, and I hope everyone has a great time today!

=== June 2023 Rotating Game Voting, Showmatch Nomination, & Feedback Form ===
Hey everyone!

June is coming up soon, so it's time for the monthly rotating-game vote!
This month also has a few Street Fighter 6 specific questions on it, so please make sure you fill it out if you're interested in that game!

== ❔ What is this for in the first place? ==

We only have time for 3 brackets at SSF each day, but alongside the 2 usual brackets we still have time for one more!

To figure out which game, we hold a vote each month and run the Top 2* games!
The winning games will be ran on alternating weeks (So the 1st week would be Strive, SSBU and one of the games - followed by Strive, SSBU, and the 2nd game the week after)

Note: If we don't end up having 4 events in a month things will change slightly, but the 1st place game will get priority


Things are still up in the air about Sundays going forward, so right now we're putting all the games on this list - we may be able to run on Sundays as well, but if that's the case we'll just pull more than just the top 2
== ❔ How does the vote work? ==
We're using a weighted vote system - everyone is able to vote for up to 5 games they'd like to see at SSF, and every vote gives that game a certain number of points (higher-ranked or "closer to 1st choice" games get more points per vote)

== Also, we're opening up signups for the the pre-SSF Showmatches! ==
We're running Showmatches at the start of SSF now as a way to highlight games that we don't have time to fit into our schedule (...and maybe show people why they should vote for them in the rotation!)
If you have a game you'd like to showcase, please let us know on the form and we'll work with you to get something figured out!
(Also, if you have an opponent in mind already that makes things much easier for us!)

== Street Fighter 6 is coming up very soon! ==
Please let us know which day(s) would work for you and whether you'll be able to help out with setups - and let us know any other thoughts you have about the game (or its brackets) as well!

Finally, if you have any feedback for us in general this would be a great way to let us know!

Hey everyone!

I've had a few people ask about a Kickstart League (or something similar) for Street Fighter 6 when it releases, and while I think that sounds awesome I don't have the time(/energy) to run one

However, that doesn't mean a SF6KSL can't happen 👀
If you would like to help run a Kickstart League for Street Fighter 6, please DM me!

We basically need people to Stream regularly and do the week-to-week TOing portion - I should be able to handle the Tech (layouts/stream setup, score tracking, etc) and Initial Signups, so it's 'just' the stuff after that that needs done

To be clear, this is ONLY a request for help, and does NOT confirm that we will for sure be running a SF6KSL - but if we can get the Organizer stuff figured out, then we should be able to


Thanks!


(Also, don't forget to fill out at least the SF6 questions on the June Voting Form! https://forms.gle/D3VYGMZnDsKtUzuS9 )

=== Salem Smashfests | June 2023 Schedule ===


It's time to announce the schedule for June, and there are some significant changes this time!


1️⃣ First up, we got the go-ahead so we will be running Saturday and Sunday events regularly going forward!


2️⃣ Next, we have a few updates on some non-rotating games!

We'll start with the good news: Street Fighter 6 is joining the schedule, with a permanent slot on Saturday!
For June we'll be putting it at the 12:15pm slot (though please be aware that it may change times in future months depending on how things go)

Also, for this first week in particular we will be running Street Fighter 6 on BOTH Saturday and Sunday


Unfortunately on the less-great side, Smash Ultimate has been operating basically on life support recently at SSF - we had a few different carpools start having issues simultaneously, which seems to have brought the player count below a critical point
As such, we will be moving Smash Ultimate over to a rotating game for the moment - hopefully this will make it so that everyone can show up and have larger brackets on the weeks that they can make it!

Also, since Smash Ultimate was not put on this month's Voting List it will be filling one of the Rotating slots this month - please stop by on the 11th and 18th for this month's SSBU brackets!


3️⃣ With all of that out of the way, it's time to announce the rotating game winners this month!

== Rotating-Game Winners: June 2023 ==
1st: Persona 4 Arena: Ultimax
2nd: Project+
3rd: King of Fighters XV
4th: Under Night In-Birth EXE[Clr]
5th: Super Smash Bros. Melee

  • 6/04 SSF Sunday (SF6, GGXrd, & SSBM)

  • 6/10 SSF Saturday (SF6, GGST, & Persona 4 Arena: Ultimax)

As you can see we'll be taking a couple of weeks off this month - please head over to the Discord ( https://discord.gg/Qg5kfgq ) and check out the #carpools channel if you'd like to carpool up to either of those events!

Please stay tuned later tonight for this week's schedule (and pre-registration forms - and with it being SF6 launch week, you'll probably want to sign up early!)
