i just want to say that so many of u smashers that i've known for years and those i've recently met...are all ****ing awesome people in general.
the smash community is so much better than other competitive gaming communities.
or i could just be lying cuz i'm drunk, EL OH

nickzorz..didn't u record matches too on that TV in the middle? i fought Ran and Sniper, so those are probably recorded, my guess.

um...i can't remember who i fought before, but i beat slyfer, lost to lee, beat ran, sudai, that good DDD player from shreveport, sniper, than lost to lee~e
lee's metaknight too good/gay. like lol what i do? ja


for low tier i was working on my link, but i get so god-awful bored with projectile spam...i'll prolly stick w/ lucas.
personally, i think Sonic is going to **** low tiers, but i guess we'll have to wait and see.

<3 Cyphus. Btw, beastly camping vs my ROB when you had my eye lasers. D: I now know how it feels and it sucks~

Shreveport guys, are any of you interested in driving over to Mesquite, TX for a tournament this weekend? It's not anything big and I'm assuming it'll be a bit smaller than the GameWare one, but it's only 3 hours 43 minutes from my place (so subtract however long it takes to get from Shreveport to Ruston). If not too many of you wanna come, ya'll are welcome to hitch a ride with me. Right now I have 2/5 seats filled, one is reserved for someone that's iffy on coming, but I should know by tomorrow if he's coming or not. We're planning to drive up Saturday, stay the night for the tourney, and drive back in on Siunday, currently. Oh, and I was hoping to maybe stop by someone's place on the way back and get some smash going on Sunday? :o

<3 u too Cyphus. :D And yes, I did record on that middle TV, there are a LOT of matches of you on my recording, Cyphus. You v Lee (not finals, as you remember... but apparently ya'll fought there twice?), Chimera, Snipe, Ran, etc. I'm gonna work on clipping them as soon as I finish this delicious Panini I'm eating and then I'll try to upload some tonight, but it may not be too many...

And Vaughn. You is amazing and holy crap how'd you beat MM9 so fast? O.o; I just <3 you all. XD

....looks at post time......that's how life should be lived....

but yeah I'm bout to down a few beers, type a paper and finish studying in that order. Speaking of beer, NOLA folk should always go to the bulldog on magazine on Wednesdays when they give free glasses when you buy a draft beer.

Also is low tier gonna be SBR low tier or a certain few characters such as bottom 15 or 20? I'm much too lazy to read at this time of night.

so, smashboards hasn't worked for me the whole time up until now. Apparently after they did their down time, it came back for everyone I knew but me. I kept getting "Database Error" instead.

I've got a **** ton of threads to read through, but just wanted to post that I'm liking the news of a Sunday Tourney series in New Orleans. Not only is it an hour closer, but it's far more likely for me to be able to come. Starting so late on a Friday means I'd be forced to take two days off work since I'm consistently 9am-6pm. Assuming it's at a reasonable time, I shouldn't have much trouble doing a Sunday tourney.

I might go but I will probably drive if I do because Mesquite is close enough to go and come back home that night (It's Saturday?). I also might be able to provide Smashing in Shreveport, but I have a class to teach at 3:00 Sat and Sun so it will be close. BTW sorry I didn't get to introduce myself at the tourney. I'm Pat, the G&W from teams with Slyfer.

Just got done clipping the 31 matches and a Vaughn HR contest... Too good. I'm hoping to work on putting them up between tomorrow night and Sunday. More than likely it'll be Sunday as I'm still not out of the woods yet in the way of stuff due this week... But Sunday will provide plenty of time to get all this stuff up, as I'm sure it will take a while. T_T

And Taylor... wat?

true. u should definitely so i can play ur kirby.

hope mad people go to this first one.

what are the rules to this btw.
$10 entry, FD, Battlefield, Lylat, Smashville, and Yoshi's Island are neutral, advanced slob picks, stage banning allowed, 2/3, Dave's stupid rule, CPs on the OP, I think that covers it. I should be there though I may have to leave early since I usually have to work at 330 on Sundays but I have no problem showing up 2 hours late without prior notice >.>

edit:
Also consider the next tourney in BR, if you drive to NOLA from pcola you can catch a ride from to BR.

So I just beat Mega Man 9 in about 1.5 hours. Tried to speed run it, but had multiple deaths. Not too bad, but I can definitely get it much faster. It was fun trying though. =D

Hey everyone! Sorry I couldn't make it out to the tourney to get my butt handed to me... and do some reporting on the side. I got stuck covering Zachary's football game. And apparently, my not going caused the other guys from Zachary to not want to go... sorry to take 20 dollars out of the pot. XD

Maybe I'll make it next time.

It's funny, the Dallas thread is going on about MM9 as well. XD

The best they have over there is 1:01:00 even.

Additional
Anyone who is capable of bringing a Wii/TV will be much appreciated. For a tournament such as this to work effectively, we need to have at least eight TVs.

Given the proximity to Halloween, feel free to wear a costume! We might as well have fun with it. =D

Soooooo, go sign up.

Just a quick suggestion on the rules. When we did pools at Gameware, we tried stage striking. It worked okay, but I think it would be best to enforce a no stage twice rule OR just go random both times. No stage twice leaves 6 stages for striking, which favors whoever strikes first. Since you're doing 2 games, not best of 3, it'd be unfair to give the loser an advantage. So, I'd suggest having Random for both rounds of pools.

That said, in the end it's your tournament, so do what you think is appropriate.

Thanks for the suggestion, I put that in. =D

Now, for everyone interesting in the tournament... Major major thing here:

CLICK ME
Please, for the love that is all that is holy, sign up to the above link. I ask this, because the Venue that we are going to is going to waive any/all fees for us to use their building if a sufficient level of users/activity is generated on their site. It's a pretty cool community building setup. You can even run tournaments right off of it. The guys at Dibbz are being INCREDIBLY helpful. Originally the tournament was going to have to shut down at the close of the store [10pm] on Sunday, but they've vowed to stay open as LONG as necessary. Maintaining a good partnership with the owners of Dibbz will ensure us a venue for every future monthly. So PLEASE, PLEASE, Register on the site, and post a comment/intent to join.

The owner is going to attempt to get many fresh bloods to come to the tournament as well, which will increase the pot. He's also going to work on getting us swag [T-shirts, etc...]

Mura and/or setsuma, I'm probably down to play melee this weekend. Hit me up.

Or anyone else, for that matter. Not picky here.

.....EFF. God DAMMIT. Mura's right. It is on friday, meaning I won't be able to make it either unless my parents let me take the day off. Which is doubtful considering the situation.

"Hey mom, can I take a day off for a Super Smash Brothers tournament?"

"Go to your room."

It's on Sunday, OCTOBER 26th, not this Friday SEPTEMBER 26th. >.>

Woo, Crayon Dedede is back! :D

And I randomly found a post that describes what Lee is really doing when he posts... I'll never look at your posts the same way ever again. T.T
