TFNS (Toronto Fight Night Series) have held super/street fighter 4 casuals for a while now and they have been very successful. I have seen for myself what these casuals can do to level up a scene and help newcomers improve. In ssfiv, Canada is now nearing able to compete with USA if not possible already and I feel with our co-operation withe ach other and dedication it can be the same for the brawl scene.
melee's done it, ssfiv has done it, past games have done it, now it's time for us to be able to compete at high level. So this is how it goes down.
It's every Friday night at 5pm to roughly 12am for $5 entry. There are already three tvs permanently there so you don't gotta worry too much ons et-ups but we cna always bring more. Wiis will always be needed though.
And now for what I find to be the best idea to help us in a manner we can enjoy. A ranbats system. This is TO SF's secret weapon to success.
Ranbats work like this. It's a season pretty much where initially you do a buy-in of $20. We have 8-10 mini tournaments of all entrees (the ones attending and such) every two to three weeks. At the end of the season it'll be paid out traditionally 60/30/10. These mini tournaments DO NOT affect PR. This is to level up
also points system is
1st 10 points
2md 7 points
3rd 5 points
4th 4 points
Amyways post your thoughts, i wanted to start this this month but i can see it cannot be the case. We are all extremely busy and TFNS is busy with their major ssfiv tourney on dec 18th. once again, post comments.
P.S. would melee be interested in this system to?
EDIT: TFNS is closed for the holidays and will be opening again on January 14th (casuals do not start on this day!)
Important Message: So it seems that the owner of the venue is going to have a meeting on the course of friday night casuals so they may or may not happen. Let's just hope it goes well because this will be a good opportunity for us.
The issue for Friday nights, or any night for that matter, is that while it use to obtain decent attendance it gradually decreased to the point of getting a measly 5 people, with himself included. It isn't fact but I think a big issue is to do with the opening of a new casual place called HQ for ssfiv in scarborough that has the best players.
but I really really want a place for casuals to happen if TFNS does not go through (and I don't find out until January 15th; melee tournament). I was considering the idea that HQ does. It is run by like 4 or 5 people who rent out a storage unit and have people come and pay $5 to from whatever times that the "keyholders" are present. For organizing purposes they do mon-sat 5:30pm-11pm or 12am. Yes, EVERYDAY there is a casual, it's crazy but awesome. I think we should consider this an option. Remember that it does not only have to be brawl. This is for smash bros, be it 64, melee, or brawl. Just a thought.
So I want to discuss further possibilities if we can't get TFNS for friday nights. The storage unit is another possibility but let's think of others to.
