updated info for the tournament:


In partnership with Showdown eSports, #SFGameNight and I wanted to host a Smash64 tournament while the Pokemon Stadium is being restored, and Cinco De Mayo fit the bill for the kind of atmosphere we wanna produce.

Expecting close to 20 contestants, I feel as though a 3$ tournament fee* is fair to get a decent pot of cash for the top 2 players to make it worth their time and hopefully get a chance to meet other Bay Area Smash 64 players of whom they wouldn't normally.
(*Please note this is separate from the 5$ cover charge of SFGameNight which is paid upon entry to the Foundry.)

Tournament Rules:
Sign-up: 7:45pm
Tournament begins: 8:00pm

Singles:
•5 Stock
•Double-elimination (Winner's/Loser's brackets)
•No Items
•Stages: Dreamland (automatic set-opening map) [to save time] with counter-picks of Peach's Castle, Congo Jungle, Hyrule, and Dreamland available. Any map is open to be played on if the two contestants agree to it before the map.
•Time limit: Don't really think it's super essential to set a time limit at this juncture but if it starts to cause a time constraint issue, we'll call it 10 minutes.
Tournament fee: 3$

Doubles (!Time/Space permitting!):
•Single-elimination
•Team-Attack: ON
•No items
2$

Venue:
Folsom Street Foundry
1425 Folsom St. San Francisco, CA 94103

Thanks again to Showdown eSports for their commitment to being the number 1 e-sports barcade event night in San Francisco for over the last year! Can't wait to meet some new players and have a good time.

The Foundry is amazing. Everyone should go.

 

[bowl]

Will they have more 64 events?

 

[Kimimaru]

I must've overlooked this thread earlier. Here are the results from this tournament: http://showdowngg.challonge.com/smash64

The event was well run and it ended up with around 20 entrants. Although there were only 3 setups, they made sure that people didn't play friendlies while matches were coming up, and they called matches on time. They were also very accommodating since I entered both Melee and 64. They expressed interest in hosting more of these in the future.

Overall a fun tournament; I encourage more people to come out to the next one!

First off congratulations man! had a great time playing with you. hope to see you around the 64 console on tues/thurs more!

the showdown group really helped a lot with the TOing the day off and i really appreciate all the contestants being through and making sure they were around for their matches and it was a good turnout! i think we will have to cap it at 24 considering limited set ups as you mentioned and 20 almost pushed us over time after we finally got rolling at 8:15 thereabouts. cheers for the feed back.

tl:dr thanks everyone, ill update more on the next as soon as i get more info!

I went to Getting Smashed at the Foundry #8 and #9, in July 2014. This was before it got really big though.

Love the foundry. It was a lot of fun playing with NorCal smashers when I was there.

 

[LAS | Wookiee]

[Sensei]

[LAS | Wookiee]

[bowl]

ill be in town on the 15th/16th looking to play at the foundry

 

[malva00]

I will be sleeping in SF October 19-24.

Seems like a good time to go to this place if other people are willing to go to play SSB.

 

[stylisland]

I'll be in SF from the 12th - 27th if anyone wants to play some smash

 

[duncs]

word man, stylisland is staying here with me in SF and we'll be going Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday for the next two weeks. it'll be a good time come through.

awesome man! look forward to meeting and playing with you!

 

[Multiball]

So I was trying to talk this up at the event itself: I think we should try to make Wednesday the Smash 64 day at the venue.

The place is packed on Tuesday for Melee, and on Thursday for Sm4sh; Wednesday is currently sort of dead. This makes Wednesday a good time to try to get in and make a strong showing for 64, because there will be less competition for setups. If we can get the scene growing and introduce a good environment for playing and leveling up, I think we could take root in the yet-unclaimed Wednesday slot.

I think a first reasonable goal to set would be a semi-regular monthly tournament. It'd be hip if we could lay the foundations for that in the next 3-4 months.

 

[duncs]

so the official word is that we're going to have a tourney on the 28th of this month (Wednesday)

ill make a fb event page and also edit the original tourney post I did back in May
eyes posted

 

[Multiball]

May this be the first of many. With any luck, we can have the next one less than half a year after this one. And then, slowly but surely, it becomes a monthly, and then...?
At the very least, it's a chance to improve my 0-4 tournament record. I hope I manage not to get totally bodied in early rounds. The first step on the road to Genesis!

What's the word on doubles? I imagine that we'd be packed enough with just a singles bracket.

 

[T Brett]

There are so many norcal people already signed up for gen3sis, you guys should be able to attract a decent crowd!
Good luck

to quote the great Tommy Wiseau, "that's the idea, Denny!"

but yes, we are looking to really start to make something happen with this one -especially if it's a worth-while success. I probably won't be the first to tell you, but, I've been working to keep the scene alive there since the inception of #SFGameNight at the Foundry. it's been my baby for nearly 2 years, and I couldn't be more excited at how it's growing up. *teary-eyed*

 

[duncs]

updated the info up top as to the newest tournament at the Foundry next week

thanks for everyone's patience on this - it's been a long time coming!

 

[malva00]

planning on going to the foundry tonight. see you there.

 

[caneut]

S Sensei ill be in Las Vegas next month for a weekend. I don't know if ill have time to play but maybe some old-school 06kaillera smash?

 

[Morin0]

I think he's back in the EC.

 

[duncs]

the official facebook page for the event can be found here:
