I was looking at the Melee rule set and noticed that instead of each player banning a stage in the beginning of a set and going random you strike neutrals until there is only 1 left and play on that level the first match. Are we going to change to this or keep playing the way we do?
Redwood Counter Pick System
Redwood Counter Pick System
- Blind Picks character selection.
- Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter Stage List until only 1 remains, and the players then play the first match on that stage. Players strike stages in 1 2 2 1 order.
- The first match is played.
- Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage.
- The losing player of preceding match picks stage for the next match.
- The winning player of preceding match picks character.
- The losing player picks character.
- The next match is played.
- Repeat 4-8 for all consecutive matches as necessary until the set is complete.

And that redwood stage choosing BS is broken.
It effectively makes every stage but like 2(that the 2 people playing pick) unplayable and allows for scrubdom.
and then you'll have people who NEVER play certain levels that are the best in nation.

Step 1: Establishing the Scene
Probably the first thing you may want to do is to identify the players. You can begin with yourself and a couple of friends that play regularly, then moving on to co-workers, fellow classmates from school, and even your sister’s/brother’s boyfriend/girlfriend. From there you can hit up that arcade of yours that still have Primal Rage, Virtua Fighter 2, and War Gods http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stYMjSOxk70 with the 3D button that never seems to work and get with those guys who you never speak to, but have always enjoyed beating down in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
Step 2: Building the Scene
Now that you have established the scene, you want to start building on what you have. Word of mouth has always been a great source for getting the word out. “Hey, did you know that there is a (game of choice here) scene here?” So now the word is out that people no longer have to rely on disappointing online matches with lag or players not on the same skill level and that there are people in the area who plays (and hopefully familiar with SRK) Believe me folks. It’s a small world out there and you’ll be surprised if you’d just ask. [That is how I found people when I was in Okinawa, Japan, ours and SRK’s very own Saotome Kaneda!]
So basically you’re recruiting and you do that by using what’s around you and most importantly… do you care to guess? The internet! In case some of you don’t know (and you should) SRK has a Regional Matchmaking Thread consisting of the following regions: Atlantic North, Atlantic South, Midwest, Northwest, Pacific North, Pacific South, Southwest, Canada, and World. There are other sources of media out there that you can use such as Facebook, Craigslist, Twitter, MySpace, and more.
No access to the World Wide Web? Do you have a local arcade, go to college, and have a few game retail stores nearby? Those are all great places to meet and advertise your scene. On the podcast, Renegade talks about forming clubs in school which is an awesome idea. Hell, try posting flyers up in areas you are allowed to. Mom and Pop game retailers are a great place to put up your flyers as they are not restricted to space purchased by vendors for marketing purposes like GameStop and Game Crazy. As a former Store Manager for GameStop, let me tell you, they will not let you put up ANYTHING that is not in the marketing guidelines or planogram for the company. Sometimes, however, you may get approval from your DM if it can help promote new games, and increase reserves and sales, but don’t press your luck if you’re trying to get something together for something that is played on last gen consoles. Really quick before I go on to the next step… A clever way to pass out your flyers at retail stores is to have them as manual sized inserts. Stick them in every fighting game case in the store and you’ll increase the awareness of the scene in your area whenever a customer purchases that used copy of Soul Calibur 4, Smash Bros. Brawl, or Tekken.
Step 3: Organizing the Scene
How do you organize a scene? After you have a good solid group of players that occasionally meets, you may want to start keeping track of names, phone numbers, gamer tags/handle, and etc. Maybe assign roles or finding someone who is responsible enough (and serious) to organize and keep up with everything. No, I’m not kidding. It really helps and keeps everyone up to date with what is going on and finding out what is going on in your community.
I’ve been following the ‘small’ but existing scene back in my hometown since I left and joined the Marines. Moving back last August, I really wanted to put us on the map and build a scene that everyone can be proud to be a part of. So I created a new thread (which I can edit and organize as I see fit) got names, numbers, etc and listed them on the front page for everyone to have instant access to. I created links to footage of recent tournament matches, pics, tournament results, and even ranking battle schedules! Anything of interest I update in the News section of the post and archive them when we enter a new month. A bit too much you say?
This will help your scene not only grow, but improve as well. Within months of my arrival back home, I’ve managed to increase the size, interest, and importantly the skill level of the scene here. Take it slow first if you’re new to all this, but with time and patient everything will fall together.
Gather together the trades that everyone has to offer too. CSS, HTML, photoshop, video editing, art, stick building/modding, access to venues, jobs at a game retailer, and more. Try to get everyone involved because this is everyone’s scene. Eventually you may want to create a MySpace group, youtube channel, and even a paypal account to fund for traveling expenses to tourneys, food, prizes, equipment, and anything else you can think of.
Here is an example of what we I have done thus far. http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=219478 I already had someone use my thread as a template for their own community and everyone is welcome to do the same. Big shout out to the Arkansas crew!
It is a lot of work, but in the end it is all worth it. With the proper structure and patience, you’ll get your scene to where you want it to be.
Step 4: Managing Progression and Evaluating the Scene
I’ll keep this step concise. The last step is to supervise how well your scene is growing and improving. Toss in some tournaments and when you become comfortable, take it on the road. Test your skills with the next town, schedule team matches or tourneys and work from there. You’ll meet new friends, exchange personal information, form rivalries, trade secrets and overall, learn from the experience.
Remember... there are many useful links here on SRK to get you started. The rest is all up to you, but we're here to help too I'd like to thank my fellow K-Town members here in central Texas, who accepted my ideas, planning, and organizing to put us where we are today. As a treat, every keep your eyes open for my next set of vids. No Marvel this time, but some SFIV from a recent Central Texas Brawl tourney. www.youtube.com/rotendo You can find older MvC2 matches there too and I'm working on compressing the infamous Clockw0rk vs Dark Prince money match, so that youtube can accept it. Thank you all for reading!

Yo guys I just found this new gamecube controller, since I don't need it...I guess I can sell it to one of you guys. Starting the bid at $17.
It's relatively new though I bought it used. In fact, I imagine the previous owner didn't play his cube that long. The control stick is stiff, the c-stick is also stiff, but very responsive along with the buttons. Space animals mains will have some time to break it in but it'll be so worth it.

HEY ERRBODY, THIS IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.
Uber Ice cannot go due to school.
Phanna is not going because of UI and girl johns.
DaShizWiz is now on the boarderline because if you haven't heard, his car was stolen and hes now dealing with alot of bull**** after getting it back.
Smash Mac and KeepSpeedN both have work, they are confirmed for NOT attending.
I literally went from a full car to just me in 24 hours.
This leaves me with a totally open car, at the moment i'm on the boarder line of going as well. This said, I'M WILLING TO TAXI PEOPLE IN SFL IF THEY NEED A RIDE. The deal would be i'd drive there (no more then 2 hours) friday, stay that night, and we'd leave Saturday morning.
If anyone is interested in this please PM me and i'll give you my number.
Also, thanks to josh for possibly housing me saturday night if i do decide to go.
