I went by Metro to see if they had Apollo Justice in (they don't) and asked about the tournament since the store seems plastered with flyers. They were already doing registrations, asked if I wanted to do it on the 18th, 19th, or 20th. This makes it seem as if each store is only hosting the tournament for one weekend each. I signed up for the 18th.
I asked about rules and they said http://www.nintendo.ca/brawl has all the details. I go online and it just redirects to what I have in the last post, which has almost no info =/ I'll ask to see their memo tomorrow when Apollo Justice should hopefully be in!
There only seems to be 64 people allowed per day so if you want to sign up, go and do it now.

I went to EB games at Richmond center and the sign said registration doesen't start until March 9th when the game comes out...>_>

The signs say the same thing at Metro but they were doing registration anyway.

lol Ryan+Eric im going to the Richmond one too. Richmond brawl is 2 weeks before Metro's, and will probably have less people.

It will be pretty gay to go to this one I would think.
As soon as I saw it I thought:
-wii motes
-ffa
-items
-like 2 minute matches
-annoying kids
If you guys go though it might be a bit more fun. But cramping in that small area is kinda sucky

uh wait, isnt that march 20 ish for sunday and saturday? I thought it was march, evan's at April for the tournament, and this one has all 3 smash games xD
Firestorm88
Smash Lord
Nope. They're all in April. Was just saying in case he didn't want to compete with Nintendo for players. The SFU event will run better and be more competitive I'd assume, but this is one of the few chances for us to play in a Nintendo event since they hate Canada =P There's still Friday, Richmond Centre, and North Van though.

Sorry, I'm not changing the date of my event to accommodate Nintendo's. If you're even remotely serious about smash you'd come to mine.

Lol I think we all knew that would happen...leave it up to Nintendo to not know that the classic controller is the best for brawl...(excluding GCC with removed L/R springs)
I think this make the SFU tourney on that day wayyyy more attractive.

I expected a lot of what we got, but not being able to choose which character we play with and having to use random is the stupidest choice I've ever seen. Anyway, for those who were planning to go to multiple events, you can't. 1 per person. Here's how each stage works:

Sup guys,
First time poster here long time reader, just thought i'd say sup to all my fellow B.C. smashers and tell you all a little about myself. I'm a pretty hardcore smasher, I don't think i'm too bad but I have very little tourney experience. I love to smash in my free time so if any locals wanna get some good smash going i'll always be down to play. I'll be 20 in march and i'm currently going to school right now. You can definitely expect me coming out to more and more of the local tournies, I just hope I don't suck too bad ^^. Anyways if anyone wants to get some smash going feel free to hit me up anytime.

Kwantlen right now >< but I might be making the switch to SFU depends though since i'm in the Business program and SFU business requires like a 3.7 GPA so not sure yet...
zPhoenixExz
Smash Cadet
Where the heck did you hear that?! If you go straight from secondary then ya you need ~90%, but transfer from other post sec generally only need like 3.0 - 3.2 GPA, even on the SFU websites it says in the past the transfer GPA is only like an avg of 2.8 GPA.

I think that sounds like a lot of fun :D Especially since I can never settle on a main... I'd love to see some people I know trying to get the hang of Ice Climbers or Bowser at the drop of a hat.
I'm looking forward to playing Brawl like a noob for a few months- Getting used to all the new stuff- Picking favourite characters every other day- All stages and items- Unlockin stuff... It's going to be so nostalgic
I want to milk that game for all it's worth! MILK!Hitsugaya

BTW from what I know there is no random stage selction thing. (What stages are on random and what arent) So I suggest for the first match players can agree on a level or flip a coin to see who gets to choose stage first.
Legal Stages for Brawl IMO
BattleField
FD
Delfino Plaza
Yoshi Story
Animal Crossing Stage
MetaKnights battleship
Fire Emblem Castle
Starfox stage (sorta like battle field forgot the name)
PictoChat*
WarioWare*
Pokemon Spear Pillar*
Mute City 2*
Metroid Stage* (The one with alien in background)
Pokemon Stadium 1** (Melee)
Brinstar** (Melee)
Green Greens** (Melee)
Corneria** (Melee)
* Counter pick levels
** Not sure if they should be counter pick stages
The ones without stars are the "Random" Neutral stages

I don't think thats true
Evan's having tri-smash, including brawl, pretty sure people would go for Evan's.
Prizes are better for this Nintendo event, as a matter of fact its much better than just cash prizes but, it would be random people going to this thing and having not be able to join multiple events ruins it. (I would rather have money than to have a ticket to NJ or NY)
I mean for the people thats going to lose, go down there for a day, get knock out early and goes home? pfft, think about the freaking bus/ transit fare. If you're driving, good for you.
I personally think Melee is much better than Brawl, you can say all that you want on how wrong I am but, if theres a Melee tournament and a Brawl tournament, pretty sure more people would go for the Melee tournament. Also note that Evans' TRISMASH?!
Another fact, you can play on a wii remote however you like it but it will not be the same as playing with a GCC, I mean the buttons and everything else on a wii remote.. so messed up...
Since it's nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised if there are load of people showing up at the nintendo event, but they are going to be random/ new people who probably aren't very into Brawl. Having yourself with a random low tier character losing to a random guy with cocky attitude with top tier character would make your day rot, why bother.
Having all those fancy dates for all sort types different matches, final, semi-final etc.. big deal. If those are what you're looking for, our lounge opens 24/7, we could just have a huge Smash league going on for say couple of monthes everyweekend, then each player get to play **** load of games against one another. We could also have lots of setups here for lots of friendlies and then have semi-finals and finals in later days (including friendlies and people could watch the finals) I mean you're looking for fun time right? (I could totally spend big bucks on pizza, I mean 50 bucks/ week for pizza? I myself eat well over 100 dollars / week just on food)
The point trying to make here is, come to Evan's, play a lot of Brawl before joining any major Brawl tournament and have fun. This is just a thing nintendo made up, there aren't that many people care about it since they only play for fun, after all Brawl just came out.
ps. Big smash league would sound real fun but probably would take some serious planning.
any thoughts on that?
if this is succesful, then its smash everyweekend :O

While I trust your judgement, because you've been playing this game more than most of us, I think I can make a few suggestions.
WarioWare: I've seen some matches here on youtube, including a tournament match where it came down to 1 stock, Sheik (30%) and Marth (>90%), and the Sheik got KO'd instantly by a flying potato or something. It seems too random to be a viable tournament stage IMO.
Delfino Plaza/Halberd/Fire Emblem: While these seem to fairly "neutral" stages with not too many hazards, I think we should keep moving/changing stages off the random stage select. Moving stages tend to favour those with better mobility and recovery, and should be chosen only by counter-pick. Delfino Plaza might be the exception to this rule, however, so it should probably be a neutral/random stage.
Pictochat: At first I thought this would be banned because of hazards, but after watching a few videos, it seems alright--definitely a counter-pick stage.
So, that's all I have to say about the stage selections; I'll add more when I actually get the game. Btw, have you unlocked all 49 (?) stages yet? I think you need to get all of them in order to get the random stage option.

Jack, you misinterpreted my post. That or you're not making sense >_>
John, I disagree with WarioWare soley because the winner of the minigame can receive a star while the other might not. Other than that, I love the stage too. I disagree with Spear Pillar because Palkia just has some really BS attacks (invert controls, turn stage upside down + invert controls) and the cavern at the bottom makes for some really dumb camping.
These were my first impressoins on stages:
http://smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=3940195&postcount=443
I'd say we shouldn't ban too many stages right off the bat. A tournament only evolves if we test before banning. I understand there's money on the line, but I'd rather give a stage the benefit of the doubt than ban without giving it a chance.
Evan, those three stages move in a similar fashion to Mute City, not Rainbow Cruise or Poke Floats so it should be fine.
