TFOB II (P:M and Melee) - July 20th, 2013 - Mishawaka, IN

[KishSquared]

So again... why aren't you coming!?

Also, I see no reason to ignore the 2.6 release today. I'm planning to download it and give it a test-run, see if it changes anything with the ruleset. Let's see if MK has been curbed.

 

[KishPrime]

Hi OS!

Yeah there are a few people confirmed via Facebook. Smashboards is so 2007.

 

[JTsm]

OS is in KY because there's a PM tourney there.

I know a few OH peeps are going to said PM tourney.

 

[Joshu]

OVERSWARM

I challenge you to a backwards money match AT THIS VERY TOURNAMENT
Do you accept, or are you a coward?

 

[KishPrime]

I WILL ACCEPT AS OVERSWARM'S PROXY AND DEFEND HIS HONOR.

If that's an option.

 

[KishSquared]

Oh, gotcha. He'll just have to come to our next one.

Prime and I spoke over lunch and I think we'll stick with 2.5. We're less concerned about any imbalances and more concerned about changes to characters that people may first experience in tourney play. Next tournament will definitely be 2.6.

So speaking of this, is anyone planning on bringing a P:M setup? Prime and I each have one, but so far those are the only confirmations.

EDIT: Tim, where is your avatar? Did you lose an Eternal Avatar Match??

 

[Overswarm]

I don't know if there's a PM tourney here this weekend or not, I typically don't go to any tournaments anymore. Just waiting for smash 4. Did my thing in Melee and Brawl and while PM is fun I'm not interested in really practicing it. Plus I have real world stuff taking up my time now >_>

 

[KishSquared]

I hear you - I've been mostly removed from the Smash scene for the past 3 years. P:M excites me and I'm having fun with it, but I'm definitely not practicing

Traveling is rough on the family so I figure I'll just start hosting tournaments again. If you ever want to venture up this way for a tourney, my couch is yours for the crashing. I'm hoping in the next few years that I'll be entering doubles tournaments with my son - should be good times!

Sorry Tim.

 

[JTsm]

Aw no 2.6 ;c

I'll still go. xD (flex)

Sorry Tim.

I'll probably make a trip up there sometime after Smash 4. I plan on that being my "last hurrah" so I'll probably practice before I have kids and whatnot now.

To give you an update on old cincy: Sliq now lives in Texas, Kel and I both have big boy jobs, I have a house and am engaged to be married in April, and I have a dachshund puppy named Lucca.

Kel and I don't really play much smash anymore, but both are anticipating Smash 4 to be fun.

Average Brawl Flameouts = 3 years
Average Melee Flameouts = 8 years



Never gets old. Also, I remember chatting with you back at the FC time about how things are going. I wish I could find a big boy job.

 

[Scythe]

how big do you think this will be?

 

[Joshu]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT MRS OVERSWARM!?
Congrats!
I like to think you both get together and rationally ban things for romantic evenings.

Scythe, this will be the biggest True Flame of Bowser II tournament to date.

I just had to say "not teaching!" and then work in a University for IT.

I played Melee and Brawl for about the same time period; I'd have played Brawl longer if I was younger, but the whole "adult" thing hurt it.

With Melee it was all practice for Brawl. For Brawl it was about money. Once I started getting paychecks, money was meh and I'd already won enough to where I didn't feel the need to prove myself... so while I still have fun playing the game the "drive" was gone.

It'll come back in Smash 4 though, I miss competition.

Nooooo Iron Squid! Hopefully a miracle happens and Santa Claus jumps out at you on a street corner and stuffs your pockets with cash. Or maybe that's the BK King. Either way.

It wasn't the King, but my mom saved the day. Unless the car explodes or we drop dead, the Metal Xecutioner and I should be there again this year.

 

[Scythe]

edit: nm this

Do it! Make us proud!

 

[voorhese]

Whats the expected turn out for this?

 

[IronSquid]

Whats the expected turn out for this?

That question is a bit more difficult to answer than it should be. This one seems to be generating off the boards interest just like the last one, making it more of a pain in the ass to figure that out. My guess is 10+, but that's very vague and doesn't include the off the boards **** that we don't know about.

 

[KishSquared]

Actually, it's looking to be in the 20-30 range, optimistically. Trail's done some off-boards spreading of the word and anticipates a good turnout. Which makes me happy since I won't have to pay for the facility out-of-pocket! Maybe.

OS - what do you do in IT? I do Cisco networking and servers, so just curious :D

EDIT: IronSquid! Glad you're able to make it with Xecutioner!

 

[KishPrime]

I'll dial it down to 15-25, but it'll be big enough for you.

We could use a couple of PM/GC setups. <_< We'll have ALL THE TVs, though.

I'm an "Academic Technology Analyst". My job is to find a need, fill a need, and if there's not a need then create a need. I basically teach instructors how to use various technologies (Tegrity, Kaltura, smart boards, Blackboard, etc.) and help them learn how to use it effectively in their course.

We can't help with PM, but we can bring 3 Melee setups if you want.

 

[KishPrime]

That should do us.

OS, that job sounds awesome. Too bad I'm working on an MBA now or I'd look for a similar one myself.

 

[KishSquared]

It does sound neat. Teaching technology can be fun with the right crowd.

Tomorrow - everyone look for Door F at the church! North side of the building.

 

[Ignatius]

I might only show up for melee, have very little interest in PM. I guess I'll bring my cube as well if you think you'll be short still.

Are you going to have to use a twig to make it look more inviting like last time?

Yawn no one cares u huge scrub. I bet u use Pitt in pm and camp the **** out of people 24/7 just like u did in brawl and couldn't do in melee cuz it was actually a good game. U and kel would be looking forward to smash 4, it's being made with even noobuer intentions than brawl, it's perfect for u baddies. Stop living in ky btw, what kinda scrub fest actually moves to that cow pie. Grats on getting engaged.

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

Btw big boy jobs/gfs r no excuse for being bad at smash, no one practices this god damn game. God damn nerds need to learn to stop being bad and stfu? Just cuz girls and real jobs r new to u god damn nerds doesn't give u an excuse to suck dickm at this game.

 

[alcoady]

I'll be here, i'll show up most likely mid day for melee, roy, i'm crashin' at ur pad broski?

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

Ya *****, ima **** on everyone at this thing

 

[The Good Doctor]

Might be interested, I messaged Trail. Waiting for reply.

 

[KishSquared]

Thank goodness that Trail came in and clarified all that for us.

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

****ing right

 

[IronSquid]

Umbrella, ftw. You can't stop me, son!

I disapprove of this, but I may abuse it, due to the fact that I have no skill.

 

[Solharath]

My boss changed my schedule without informing me, so it turns out I work today, and will not be attending the tournament as expected.

Seeing as it was a 2.5 tourney, I guess y'all got "lucky." My Sonic'll see you all next TFoB. Hope it's bigger - I really don't wanna travel OoS for a $5 tourney.

 

[KishSquared]

Sorry you couldn't make it :/

It was fun! Will post results tomorrow. Spoiler alert - Trail pretty much won.
