lee, his bro, me, and a couple other friends are all doing hte pokemon card thing again. House rules though: no cards past the Neo sets. Outside that anything is game. We rather keep it old school when things didn't get absolutely rediculously overpowered.

We've all been doing our own collecting, buying, trading, etc...and I've got 3 uber decks right now =]

Haha, Vaughn, Alex, and I kinda started back with Pokemon after the San Antonio tournament. We all agreed to the same thing: nothing past the Neo stuff. Maybe we should try playing sometime? We might not have pro as hell decks, but it'd probably be fun.

oh yea...and i forgot we play by one other rule...but you might disagree with it. We ignore weakness and resistance. Personally, i think it takes the fun out of a good fire deck if you're oponent just has an rain dance deck...its sorta like well...theres no real point in battling then, right?
We also agreed though, we wouldn't mind playing weak/resist if it were just like +10/-10 (pretending its that instead of +30/-30). Even in post-Neo decks they added the weakness/resistance modifiers like +10, + 20, and -10, and - 20. I guess even they realize 30 and x2 was crippling alot of potentially good pokemon and original deck ideas.
Personally, my decks are suited to deal with weak/resist so it wouldn't bother me one way or the other, but I admit to preferring it without.

I'd talk about my decks, but i think surprise is half the fun in card battling.

Cyphus, any chance of you and Lee coming to Nola tonight? John and I were trying to reach Lee, couldn't get a hold of him. Dunno if John ever did though.

PS: Magic the Gathering > Pokemon.

pft yall are just scared of my deck. playing without ex cards should be suitable for your rules. old cards suck and its hard to find all the cards you need to make a decent deck out of the old cards. cyphus you still havent proved any of your decks superior to my ex. :)

i play mtg too but i suk.

I have spikes of activity in MTG.... My deck should still be Tournament Legal for T2. I haven't put anything into it after Time Spiral's arc. That thing was just beautiful, and brought me and my friends back at college into it. Haven't really played anyone in it for awhile.

PS: Looks like [according to John] Cyphus won't be coming, couldn't get a hold of Lee. Couldn't get ah old of Matt either. =(

At 9~9:30pm John and I are going to be at Dibbz. Waiting for Ricky and someone else to get off of work. I'll try to get my friend Garret to come as well. He could use the experience. ;v

I personally don't mind the weakness/ resistance being +/- 10 or not there at all. We don't have many cards, so we're fairly limited to the types we can use effectively as it is. Plus, I'd prefer to win/ lose on a deck mechanic/ theme than simple type advantage/ disadvantage anyways.

Magic is pretty awesome as well, but I haven't really played since Kamigawa block. I do have my better decks still intact, if anyone is interested in playing sometime.

I'll try to remember to bring my Pokemon and Magic stuff to the next tournament. I dunno if I'll have time to play, but it'd be fun to play. We can work out house rules then, though I'm not particular.

i dont rly know any set names or new strategy for mtg. every card you play i'd have to read. all my cards are super old school but i think i have some good ones? idk. your decks would probably **** me unless mine was broken because of using multiple sets and old cards. idk if they got worse like in yugioh or better like in pokemon.

Official rules for July 6th tournament


Double Elimination Bracket Best 2 out of 3 matches
Winners Finals= 3/5 matches
Losers Final= 3/5
Grand Finals=3/5, the player from the losers must win 2 sets of 3/5

3 Stock, 5 MINUTE TIME LIMIT for singles

All items OFF (including Smash Balls)

Doubles Team Attack is ON, LIFE stealing is allowed.

BYOC: (BRING. YOUR. OWN. CONTROLLER.) NO WIIMOTES OR CLASSIC CONTROLLERS!!! Gamecube controllers only!!!

In the case of a Wii/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed.

All decisions made by tournament officials are final.

Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff's discretion.

Any sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game.

Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the brackets will result in ejection and possible suspension from future tournaments.

Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. Tournament staff may randomly inspect any controller at their discretion. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.

The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players/teams can agree on one.

Double Blind Rule: For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.

Random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Delfino Plaza, Yoshi's Island, Lylat Cruise, Castle Siege, Smashville, Pokemon Stadium 1.

Stages banned for Singles & Doubles: Mushroomy Kingdom [Overworld/Underworld], Rumble Falls, Bridge of Eldin, Wario Ware, Distant Planet, New Pork City, Temple, Yoshi's Island (Pipes), Onett, Donkey Kong Arcade, Spear Pillar, Mario Bros., Flat Zone 2, The Summit, Big Blue, Green Greens.

Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.

No stage may be used twice in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 Series unless agree upon by both players.

After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose one stage from the available tournament list that won’t be used during the series.

After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.

---

Do we bring our Wii-motes to transfer our tag names, or do we just enter them at the tournament? I ask because I like to turn tap jump off and I figure other people have custom settings for their controllers too. It seems like it'd be tedious to have to go through all that at the tournament.

No one is at Dibbz anymore... Shut down early, I was running on four hours of sleep between two days. Shyguy tired me out before some randoms showed up. Shyguy and I played about fifty or so matches before they did. By the time they appeared, I was dead. q.q

Good games Shyguy.

Yeah I was the tall darkie with the goatee, and yes, Kirby is quite awesome. I think I met u before, but I coulda swore you looked different, I dunno. Falco is actually stupid, but as awesome as Kirby is, he's can never stand up to Snake, Marth, and in most cases ROB so I had to get some counterpicks. I still love Lucario though.

taylor, i beat your deck with best one, remember?
and all my decks are alot better now, rounded with some buffering from a couple Neo set cards as well as the right amount of each god tier trainer in each.

It's all in fun, but i'm pretty this time it'll be my decks that are the challenge for you to top. Beforehand, i was trying to be sexy using stuff rainbow island mew and electrode-zapdos combos....i can promise you my current decks are proffessionally sound, and dont rely on anything gimmicky. =]

I'm thinking about making a 4th deck (hint: chaos gym style)..but i'd need to experiment it out to see which trainers I can afford to let slide in...

yeah you're other decks werent very good. then i played your best deck and i gheyly won the first match. like 2 pokemon ko rly fast and you had no basics. then we had a rly close match and you won. then we had a rly close match and i won for the 2/3. your deck was definitely good, but so is mine. we should play again. im trying to make a psychic deck but i need 1 or 2 more slow king. i have a water deck now too that idk if i had when i played you cyphus but it has a rly inconsistent game. i need to make a couple changes to my main deck but i dont know how to get the cards i need cept like order them. so my deck is at almost full power, but no johns if i lose.

let's play!

as of a january 26th 2008 the first baby was born that will revolutioinze the world.

Studying up on astrolgy is probly my biggest passion besides poker,smash, videogames, sex.....
You see every planet has to do with who you are. The position the planets were in when u were born determines ur sign aka sun sign... but theres also other signs moon sign,love sign..... for all of the planets(its complicated). Then theres everyones power sign which comes from the planent pluto, but this sign is a generational one because pluto takes the longest to orbit the sun. Basicily what im getting at is everyone born from 1983-1995 has scorpio in pluto. Scorpio is the sign for sex and everyone born in that timeframe are highly sexual people. (this is pretty obvious when u look at our generation) , but this where it gets intersting anyone born from 1996 on has saggitarius in pluto, which means that generation will be focused more on exploration and ideas most likely challenging the ways that we go about things, and the oldest person with that is 13, can u imagine that generation they will look like a bunch of prudes compared to us... of course we'll all be like 30 @ that point...

Looking back at are parents they were either leo in pluto(the fun loving hippie generation) or virgo in pluto (the conservative generation who brought back order) Most leo in plutos are 50 + which means a bunch of funloving geezers will be roaming around.(my parents) And the virgo in plutos are 37 - 50, which are most of the nations leaders, people we look up to blah blah... then theres libra in pluto which are people age 25-36, and like the sign that generation is focused on compaionship between two people(if u have any older brothers or cousins ull know what im talking about)

As of jan. 2008 the first capricorn in pluto was born(being a capricorn im pretty familar with it) This generation will take the ideas of the saggitarius generation and build it into sumthing concrete taking us into the new world... keep in mind we'll all be 50+ @ this point and these will be OUR GENERATIONS KIDS.....

Looking ahead to pisces in pluto (we'll all be 80 or dead) The world is going to be very different, This generation will do things that we cant even comprehend right now..... we'll possibly have made contact with life on other planents if its out there...... sumthing the first Aeris in pluto will have to deal with but they should be able to handle it...

New rules for the tournament apparently:

Double Elimination
Matches will be best 2 of 3.
Finals and Semifinals will best 3 of 5.

Neutral Random stages:
Battlefield
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Final Destination

Counter Pick:
Lylat Cruise
Delfino Plaza
Corneria (Melee)
Great Sea
Rainbow Ride
Frigate Orpheon
Battleship Halberd
Pokemon Stadium 2
Castle Siege
Brinstar (Melee)
Pokemon Stadium

Everything else is banned.


No items.
Time Limit: 7 minutes
3 stock


(The stage Lylat Cruise has currently became counter pick)

Not to mention, if requested, people can ask to ban ONE stage. There are people who can't play certain stages in this game.

The way smash works is that the opponents have to play a Neutral first set.
Then, once someone lose they can either pick a Neutral or a counter pick stage. If the player picks a Counter Pick stage, then the winning opponent can be allowed to pick a different character.

---

Can't figure out which one Great Sea is. Pirate ship? And I'm guessing Rainbow Ride is supposed to be Rainbow Cruise.

Great Sea is Pirate ship. Also your sig rocks the f!cking socks, Lupe = greatest rapper ever, no arguing that. I actually wanna get a tat of that exact phrase on my shoulder (possibly in Arabic) when I get swole enough.

Woah, people here listen to Lupe Fiasco?

I agree, The Cool is the album of the year. Track after track is gold, better than the Carter III and loads better than Graduation (most overrated hip-hop album IMO. American Gangster is so much better).

Yeah, my deck consisted mostly of magic ruler with a few cards from other packs, and I could actually win because of strategy. But now, the cards are so overpowered it makes my best cards seem like ****.

-edit-

I can smash sometime this week, but I dont know how I'd get to dibbz. xD

Agreed, Graduation was a bit overhyped, but expected IMO. Kanye went from generic producer to triple platinum rapper in one album. He was bound to something that fans wouldn't love.

Also I'm off today and tomorrow so people should def go to Dibbz and bring the Wiis.
