The Big MI Discussion Topic

I actually wouldn't mind hail, it would force it to be cooler outside since it was disgustingly hot today.

 

[JTsm]

I don't do science, Gio.



OMG the hail is getting bigger.

Im grabbing a beer.

Dat reaction.

So yeah I think me and fZk are "brawled" out or whatever. Strong chance I might go to Kevin's tourney however, since I need to give his Wii back (assuming he goes). But if he doesn't go then idk when I can bring it back, but hopefully at a smashfest or something. IMPULSE pretty much got me just staying home til the rest of July.

 

[fZk]

Yeah I feel the same way, the only reason I might be going is to get my Wii back and team with Tech since I promised him. Definitely IMPULSE took a lot out of me and was by far the worst ran tournament I've ever been. To call it an amateur job is an insult to amateurs, it was awful.

 

[Damittom]

I think its funny how they dont even realize that there was an issue with starting 2 hours late

Nope it was three and a half hours the first day and three the second day.

 

[Damittom]

Wow. And they dont even see a problem with it. Thats the worst I will never go to a tournament organized by someone who doesn't see the issue with that. At least Tech (<3) saw his issues and fixed them.

 

[JTsm]

I can understand pools being late by like 1 hour but not 3. I mean cmon, 71 entrants really isn't that much. Get on Tech's level pls.

Tech and Juggleguy for best TOs

Also someone with a hacked wii needs to make this a song on one of their stages.

[Juggleguy]

Impulse did some things wrong with tournament running, but there were some bright spots. I can't speak for the Brawl TOs there, but the Melee TOs were very capable of listening to on-the-spot feedback and trying to correct the issues. I suggested that they move around some tables to reduce the traffic in certain areas of the venue and they did it, and when I pointed out the time bottleneck with trying to get everything on the stream they started calling matches to be played on other recording setups.

 

[JTsm]

Yeah the Melee side of things were pretty successful. I really enjoyed the crews and how everything ran. I just didn't understand how they couldn't run Brawl events along side Melee events.

 

[Juggleguy]

I think part of it is they wanted to cram a ton of bracket sets on the stream, which slows things down big time. Especially since bracket sets can only happen after the bracket sets from the previous round have been played. It didn't help that there was no loud microphone or PA system to communicate quickly with everyone. In those situations I'm a big advocate of shutting down literally all TVs/friendlies at the venue and only then starting to make announcements. It's not easy to get everyone's attention, but ends up being so worth it if you don't have to repeat answers a million times or shout at the top of your lungs.

 

[Gifts]

Ahh this drama reminds me of the PS3 thread/results thread. Ahaha.

Tech for best T.O!!!

 

[kd-]

Every problem I've heard has to do with the stream: there was only one stream so people complained about 'being forced' to watch Brawl or Melee, and the TOs wanted to stream the best parts of both so things were held up until they could be streamed - which is why the events didn't run alongside each other.

I think they should have just went with bad quality streams and put two of them up. Sure a low quality stream sucks, but at the end of the day people want to see their game. I remember watching a tournament's stream (it might have been Genesis 2, but I'm leaning towards RoM 4) and watching one blue pixel destroy a black pixel on pixelfield with no sound (incidentally because Brawl stole all the bandwidth lolol, the Brawl stream had SICK quality), and not knowing if it was actually Mango vs. M2k but everyone watching knew it had to be them and it was still hype/fun to watch.

 

[What's The Point]

I don't see how the stream was the issue when all they did as stream Melee.

 

[kd-]

I only watched day 1 but I watched a melee Canadian-locals' pool's matches and then only Brawl. Brawl pools with HungryBox and Zinoto, brawl tips with Tin Man and the crew battle :o it lasted forever

 

[What's The Point]

From what I remember the stream had Brawl friendlies before the tournament started, tons of melee pools, 3 Brawl pool matches, tons of melee doubles, end of day 1, Brawl crews nobody cared about, melee singles/doubles till completion, whatever was left of Brawl singles.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I partied until 6 in the morning.

I am incredibly ****ed up right now.

I just finished studying for an exam today.


I'm surprised I'm alive after how much Jager I had.

Today is gonna be one hell of a day.

 

[Sarix]

So on a completely different note, I wrote a 57 page guide on how to play Samus a few days ago that's going to be reviewed soon. The other Sami no longer consider it a guide, it's now a thesis. I feel I've accomplished something!

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

57 page guide on how to play Samus

 

[fZk]

How many ways can you say "camp" and "lose" to fill 57 pages?

:kobe:

 

[ThrowTheAnhyzer]

is anyone smashing in ann arbor this afternoon jim and I were wondering?

 

[ThrowTheAnhyzer]

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Sarix]

How many ways can you say "camp" and "lose" to fill 57 pages?

I actually don't camp that much as Samus, I typically go for pressure games similar to what Peach can do.

 

[fZk]

I'm just giving you a hard time, I don't think we've ever played before. We should mm.

:kobe:

 

[Rabbi Nevins]

ill take all mm's to prove im the best samus in mi

:kobe:

 

[Sarix]

I'm just giving you a hard time, I don't think we've ever played before. We should mm.

:kobe:

Yeah I figured you were, that and I'm used to getting flak for maining Samus anyway and I'm hard to offend. I may take you up on that mm assuming I see you sometime soon.

 

[Damittom]

Samus has a good spike tho

 

[Sarix]

Her entire air game is quite good actually, Uair and Fair basically function like Peach's Dair only they're both faster and have more range. Her tilts are quite nice as well, all of them having at least some disjoint.

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

samus is really bad

^ cliffnotes

 

[zyth]

u dont know wat it means to get a hard time till you main oli

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Good luck Richard. Give'em hell.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]

Yeah you two have it really rough.

Maining a character that +2's all his MU seems like a real set back.

 

[Apasher]

u dont know wat it means to get a hard time till you main D3

Fixed.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

More dumb conversations, I see.

Zyth: Shut up Olimar is gay and anyone complaining about MUs when my character has -2s and -3s across 7 or 8 different MUs can suck it.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]

You don't main wario Tech.

 

[Roller]

My character sucks in general, but ***** vs sucky players.

So I guess to continue the *****ing going on in this thread, I'll just complain about all the good players in MI..



****in' WTP.
