[unityole]

I am aware of the fact that theres a GuiltyGear/Melee event at UBC this saturday but heres another notice on SSB64 event for this coming Saturday on main SFU campus..

I will be hosting another SuperSmash Brothers 64 tournament here on SFU campus. Jan 19th which I believe it is next Saturday. We will have people arrive at 10 am and start as soon as possible, 11 am / noon so hopefully we can end it early.
(in ENSC lounge)

There will be food/snack provided, and I will make sure this tournament is much better than the last as I was very inexperienced the first time. I will be using a tournament bracket program called TIO so things will go smoothly.

Again, we will be waiting and I'll be happy to see you along with your friends here for ssb64.


Events are as follow:
- Just for fun, ffa, 1v1 or 2v2
- Tournaments for Doubles
- Tournaments for Singles


Importance:
- Doubles
$6 / team, best of 5 games, 5 stocks no item, team attack ON, single elimination. Percentage wise, pot split 80/20.
- Singles
$5 / player, best of 5 games, 5 stocks no item, double elimination. Percentage wise, pot split 70/20/10.
- Doubles seeded randomly, singles seeded through Rn-Robin.
- Finals are best of 7 games.


Rules:
- Stage / Character counterpick rule, ranked by seeds.
- If the game was ever to freeze, the match will be restarted despite the remaining stocks of both players, unless there was a clear winner.
- Stages banned are Yoshi's Island, Saffron City and Mushroom Kingdom due to cloud, piller and edge camp.


Our Equipments:
2 TVs, 1 VCR, Cheap pop and snack machine, 2 64-console, 6 controllers and 2 ssb64 game.
so far 2 setups confirmed. (1 tv needs a RF switch, and would love to have 4 setups in all)


Map/ Directions:
Skytrain to Production Way station, take bus #145.

Events will take place in engineering lounge just like last time.


Controllers will be provided but it is still necessary to bring one of your own as ours are loose and old. Aside from SFU people, I am aiming for at least 25 players in all which is 5 more than last time. (more the better )


Players confirmed:

- SFU players:
Jack, Wayne, MSC, Luke, Gavin, Jeremy, Stephen

- Smashboard players:
Meta, xXx-NoobKing-xXx, Quinn, Blunted_Object10, Kham (and his friends!)

- Players within BC:
Rip the Jacker, Princeloki

- Players unconfirmed:
Kume, John, Kenta, Travis, Josh


If there are more questions just let me know, feel free to PM me and hope to see you all soon!

**So far 3 setups confirmed, 1 unconfirmed, if anything else needed, it will be a TV/SSB64, not controllers**

I've consulted with some smashers, eg Adam, Evan and others.
If this event runs smoothly, the next one I host will be sometime in Feb, having both SSB64 and Melee, and maybe even Brawl in the future!

We are expanding our community and you can help us grow by start showing up. Join our events once every little while and I can be sure to have melee here next time :o

anyway, hope to see the old faces again this saturday!

How do I get internet on the wii?

Wireless internet connection/Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector

I use the USB connector this is what it looks like
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...or.jpg/800px-Nintendo_Wi-Fi_USB_Connector.jpg

I got it for about $30 at rogers video so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it

It says it's for the DS but It's also compatible with the Wii
Hope I helped

 

[Dynamism]

My router is incompatible with Wiis!!! hahaha It's on the Wii site and it just has a picture and says "incompatible" and in "details" - "may have difficulty complying"

Anywho I'm looking for a tournement, a melee one that is.
Perferably ANYTIME before Brawl is released and in the Okanagan. If possible, the Kelowna/Vernon/Penticton area. Is there something regular that I could attend?
Anything at all would be great. I did check here in October because I had some freetime in November but there wasn't anything outside of Vancouver then. If there is ANYTHING before March and in this area, please let me know, even PM the details.
Please

BTW, if it's acceptable (i don't know if there are rules or anything) could you add Dynamism/James/Kelowna/Various and Jumble/Anthony/Kelowna/Mario,Falco and Hotztuph/i can't remember his real name(we haven't smash in a while but his Doc and G&W are sick)I think it's Kurtis but only 80% sure/Kelowna/Doc
to the list of references? They are just references right? So no prob? Or do we have to compete somewhere in BC first, or would Toronto tourneys count?

 

[AIDS]

yes we need a melee tournament, maybe roby can host? or robbie?

 

[firexemblemxpryde]

No, you don't need to join a tournament to be on the reference =P.

Dynamism/James/Kelowna/Various
Jumble/Anthony/Kelowna/Mario+Falco (could he choose one? Unless this is a serious doublemain.)
Hotztuph/Kurtis?/Kelowna/G&W

For the wifi connection thing, do I need a router? Or is there a wired connection possible? Or should I just buy a router anyway?

 

[JDZL]

For the wifi connection thing, do I need a router? Or is there a wired connection possible? Or should I just buy a router anyway?

you have a couple options.

1. wireless connection (usually from a wireless router)
if you don't have a wireless router and don't want to buy one, you can either

a) buy nintendo's little wifi adapter. it looks like a usb jumpdrive, and all it does is act as a wireless router for nintendo products. you plug it in to a computer with an internet connection, and the adapter produces a wireless signal for your wii/ds

b)buy a wired adapter for your wii. i know it exists, but i dont know which brands make it.
you know how you plug an ethernet cable into your computer for a internet signal?
well the wii has a couple of usb ports itself.
this little wired adapter turns one of those usb ports into an ethernet port, allowing you to plug an ethernet cable from either your internet modem or router directly into your wii.
that is the only wired connection i know of.

buying and setting up a new router is both expensive and time consuming. i suggest that you go with one of the other two options.

with the wifi adapter, the benefits are that it is a wireless connection. the hindrance is that to be able to use it, the computer that it is plugged into needs to be on (there's a little windows program that allows you to choose which nintendo products you want to have access to the connection)

with the wired connection, you dont need to have a running computer. however, you will need a free port in your router. otherwise, you will have to (temporarily) unplug something else. also, it is (obviously) wired, which can be annoying to some.

i think the wifi adapter runs about 30 bucks at futureshop. i have one, and it works fine. it can be annoying to have to turn on my computer everytime i want to access the internet with my wii though.

hope that helps,

-jd

 

[Patooty]

Actually, a wireless router would only cost you about as much as the Nintendo WiFi dongle - and you would be able to use other wireless devices with it. eg. laptop

 

[JDZL]

that is quite possible.
i know not of the prices of wireless routers.
i thought the fast ones were expensive though...
i prefer wired connections when it comes to my computer.

 

[Patooty]

me too. My laptop however I bought for convenience. The convenience of bring anywhere + have internet when I push the power button.

For hooking up your Wii though, the reason for buying the dongle is that it's idiot-proof - You plug it in and it works, you can't screw it up.

Wireless routers give some people headaches or something.

 

[Firestorm88]

Get the wireless router. Don't get the dongle. You can't use WiiConnect24 with the dongle unless your PC is powered on which can get annoying. Wireless routers aren't too expensive and are multipurpose.

Remember to set your wireless router's channel to 1 or 11 for the best compatibility with your Wii/DS. I found the default channel doesn't work too well.

If the Wii is close to the router, you can use the LAN adapter as well which would probably be better for less lag.

 

[AIDS]

what would be the best option, less lag, strong connection?

 

[Firestorm88]

wired connections are usually best.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

whats up bc anything crazy goin on up there?

 

[AIDS]

wired connections are usually best.

lol i figured that, but i dunno for other things, i never used Wi Fi before, or just once for tony hawks, anything to help make a non lagy connection?

 

[Patooty]

You gotta figure out why it's laggy in the first place. Router speed, distance from router, objects between router and device etc... there are lots of factors and "lagginess" is influenced by so many things, and you can only fix what's broken....

So to answer your question - maybe.

 

[Patooty]

double post for the bump.

Who's going to UBC?

And

Anyone not busy Sunday?

Yes!
He's probably equal with them but his main of the two is definately Mario. Put the M only.
Someone told me Kris with a K, I'm pretty sure they don't know either so hold off on that one.

Thanks again

whats up VANCOUVERanything crazy goin on up there?

This isn't much of a BC bud thread, but I guess that is BC

I was gonna say that his Power Level was in the way, maybe I'm wrong though...

I want to know too....

Me too, rather anything in the Okanagan Valley before March? Anyone?

 

[SpaceFalcon]

Naw.. none of that

 

[AIDS]

Dynamism, you can have 2 mains if you wish, some players doublemain

SpaceFalcon, what are you responding to? O.o

Good job. Future Shop just got some in stock online. Took 40 minutes for Future Shop to sell out of 165 Wiis
