ok i just got off the phone with jeremy

yes the date is change back to the 28th for the championships but 27th again is pre elimination. prizes you kno and the sign ups and all that

for friday sign ups starts at 5:00 and ends at 6:00 and hopefully tourny starts at 7:00 if theres a huge turn out there gonna try and start the tourny at 6 so ppl be there before 5. since me nick and tom dont have to go thru pre elims me and nick are gonna watch the pre elims and im probly gonna help them out during the tourny

sat starts at 10 with me tom nick and the winners of the pre eliminations... if i remember correctly it will be 12 ppl in all but me nick and tom are gonna be split into diff pools and challenge the winners of the pre elims so if jose goes one of us gets him lol hope not me >.<

Keep it short and sweet for this friday. Unless a bunch of players know whats going on with the smash scene they'll be turned off from entering. The metagame of Hawaii isn't that high yet so we dont need to use most of the tournament rules.

Basics:

-Tournament stages and put on random unless both players agree on a stage, loser picks next (Don't need to use Dave's stupid rule)
-Allow people to switch characters between matches (Assuming a majority don't know which characters to counterpick with. It'll be a trust system, all the better players should not counterpick)
-Seeding you'll prolly want, and match players by skill (This lets less skilled players get a round or two of enjoyment before playing any of the heavy hitters)
-4stock, best out of three matches
sounds good sounds good

What's this about a tournament on the 28th? Is there a website with details? If I don't work that day, I wouldn't mind going... even if I'll probably lose in the first round.

4th place!!! Damm it!!!

At least I know I won't be facing tom, nick, or frankie. Still gotta worry about some other guys though.

So, what are the preliminaries going to determine? Top nine move on or something?

Oh fuzzy, you can't play on the 28th unless you play on the 27th.
That's the prelims.

I believe they said at 7, but they want to start by 6 since there will probably be lots of people. I'm gonna guess in the hundreds.

Just had some gooood practice with Merc today. Man I feel so pumped! After it was all said and done, he had a total of 109 kills and I had 110. INTENSE!!! I am so ready to play on friday.

Oh and btw. Expect Merc to be there on Friday of this week AND the Blaisdell. In the words of Merc, "y'gonna get rocked!" lolz

Didn't go to playntrade today cause I was so worn out after playing. I think I read somewhere that I can sign up at Hawaiian Brians and Netwerx lounge. Is this true? Those are like uber close to where I go school so I think I'll do it there. Haven't been to Netwerx since FF XI. And yeah I'll put down for Shoyo and Terence and Matt. Hurry up and come to me my Tax Returns!!! $_$

Hmmm... what's his name on gamefaqs? Because my name is Sefirosu in Katakana for Jump, so I had to have talked to him to set up games before-hand. Anyway, you can tell him thanks for the compliment.

Although I do recall a few people on gamefaqs saying that they also live in Hawaii...

$ POT LUCK PLAN!!! $

Okay guys. For this week Friday, how bout we do a potluck?

This is something similar to what we do in Marching Band. lolz

Say if you'll be bringing either a

Main dish (usually something with meat) eg: chicken, beef

Carbs eg: Rice, Noodles, pastas, sushi, mac salad

Desserts eg: cookies, pie, donuts

Misc dish eg: Fruits, salad,


It is possible to bring stuff via the bus. I have done so many times. And I'm talking huge platters kine. lolz So no johns. ^_^

Hopefully we can have a balanced potluck. Just bring enough to feed about half of the group. Don't have to bring enough for every single JGC member. So about feeds 10-12 or so should be good.

So please post if you like the idea and would like to bring something. If majority of us can bring stuff that would be uber. It's either this or I cook for all youz guyz. lolz

Thanks for the info Frankie. Imma meet you guys on saturday shoots!

Bobby, thanks again for the sign up. Life saver. For the food, I don't think I'm capable of making anything like Terence, and my parents are rather busy, so yeah. My bad. If it's after the tourny and I manage to win with some sort of luck, I'd definitely bring like sushi or something with gold and diamond bits. =D

Long time no see or hear Daniel. Just wondering, do you know a user danexadas or something on gamefaqs or jump? He's also from Hawaii, and he's friggin good at JUS from what I hear, so if you see him, kick his arse. kthnx

Yeah, I know Danexedas. I won 12 out of 21 games against him =) Actually it should've been 12 out of 20, but I let him win one when he said he wanted to show me a flashy combo. So, I played the role of the pin cushion that game.

Do you know him personally?

If there's anything else I should know then please tell me. I plan to compete.

Can you by any chance estimate how long the Saturday portion will last? I cannot judge my skill, but should I make it past the first half I'll need to get off work. If I work, I'd have to leave by 3-3:30 PM. Would the Saturday portion take 5 hours? :p

If so I'll go ahead and see what I can do to get out of work.

Hmmm. Well ait. Looks like the majority of the people would rather not bring food and just be fed. For Dex, Arvin and whomever else is planning on bringing food, great. That'll help feed. For everyone else that will just be eating and not bringing, $5.00 is good. If you not eating altogether, then no need pay. ( but i better not catch you eating anything! :p)

Waipahu!!! I need to know by Thursday NOON if you will be coming. I don't mean just one or two people. I'm talking like Chad, Gene, Ed, Bryan, Rob and the whole crew. Reason being I need to know if you'll be eating and playing in the tourney. Thanks.

Thanks Jose. If any other problems come up lemme know. I'll talk to Glen as well to confirm.

Thanks for all the feedback Frankie. I plan on winning the Prelims btw. I wanna make sure I get to the Championships.

Tourney rules to follow later today.

Ah, in that case I probably don't need to get out of work.

I placed 3rd in a previous tournament. No idea which tournament you're talking about but maybe you can figure mine out by knowing it was at the Blaisdell. Unless the winners of that tournament post here you're probably not going to figure out who I am.

Yes Glen yes. Could you bring his TVs in your truck for friday please? I appreciate it.

Also I think Jose said he'll contact you but I guess you could contact him first. Either way. Lemme know how that goes.

I need some people to bring systems too. We're gonna use more Tvs hence more Systems will be needed. I seriously hope we have enough outlets to use everything.

Dave, once I get to work and eat lunch, I'll IM you to discuss the final layout and schdule for Friday.

alright so now we have 3 tournaments. i will kind of go through them one by one.

FRIDAY UH TOURNEY
bobby, when should we be there at UH? friday we have no school. but in the morning scott and I are helping with a "profestional development conference" (the school found us because we are known for playing smash @@, they wanna know why we gamers are addicted to games and how can we make school "addicting" just like games.) from 9am to 2pm. I am thinking to go to UH by myself to save you a trip. about food, 5 dollars is no problem. and i hope to get a ride with you back home, because you know, i am the guy who's passed out everytime after a fest.

PNT TOURNEY
frankie, i wanted to know how many people are going to advance to finals? is it top 3 or top 4 of prelim?
Bobby, since you are going, is it possible to get a ride from you going and back?

Kawaii Kon Tourney
i would think about going since we could enter for free. but are they playing ffa tho. that'd cut down my interest.

discuss.

most likely it would be random but i remember him telling me if you have an excuse or something he will put you on the desired time bracket say if you ahve work and such and youll be arriving late youll get a later bracket etc. idk really if its gonna be 5 brackets im saying 4 but jeremy is saying 5 idk depends on how much ppl come to play

as for the kawaii kon thing jeremy just got a call from them today so ya im kinda in charge of that thing im gonna talk to jeremy about it more later but i think he was saying teams? lol i kno most of you guys dont like that tho lol

RE: UH Dorms tournament:

@Terence: we officially start at 8pm, officially end at 11pm.

@ Bobby: [if you're talking about lehua tourney] brackets WILL be seeded by location and hopefully also by skill. i will need help in plugging in the relative skill levels, so a .tio file with that info would be GREATLY appreciated

@ whoever's coming THIS FRIDAY TO UH DORMS:
come by early for friendlies and/or if you wanna help setup systems, cook food, chill, whatever. i should be available from 6pm at the latest. call my room at 956.9066 to sign into the building.

***THIS WOULD REALLY REALLY HELP ME AND SAVE YOU TIME TOO:
can everybody please call me/leave a message at 956.9066 or PM me with your first and last name, a contact number, what time you're expecting to show/leave? Also, if you have any guests/friends that you're bringing/coming with and their information too? we do need to plug in everybody's names into brackets as well, so tags/handles etc also necessary. THANKS!!

Frank, you know I'll be all over Kawaiikon. Its about time I show up to one of those!

Q_klikx, if you were from the old Zone held tournament then I remember you. I was the Samus player, Racer X was Fox. Show up to this one, the Hawaii player base has gotten a lot better than it was two years ago.
