The Official Illinois / Wisconsin Brawl Power Rankings Thread! *NEW UPDATE (1-22-12)*

[Scythe]

that doesn't look anything like you jake lol

 

[Akashi]

my goodness Hunger, you've lost a lot of weight @____@ grats!

 

[DLA]

This is news to me... New PR panel? Sounds like you just want to be part of it

I'm quoting Arturius Lipka. And yeah wtf I do kinda want to be on it


Hunger you look like a battle-ravaged warrior straight out of legend. And I also agree with Tano, you're looking quite svelte. Recover swiftly good sir

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Holy ****.

Hunger is so slim now.

 

[Wafles]

whatdafuq, you look different Jake

 

[Akashi]

Most of the people that are on the panel are still active, or stay relevant to the scene. You're not dropping myself, Arty, Mike, or Justin, just an fyi. We'll see who's still active after the next tourney, and then if we're short manned, vote you in Tom (if everyone agrees to that notion). I personally don't mind, but those times where we judge you vs. other players around your level, you HAVE to go by solid facts (i.e: saying someone has more potential isn't a fact)

 

[Revolution6 aka alterego]

if DLA doesn't become a part of the panel, i think Red Ryu should be on the panel considering he's been pretty active

 

[Zwarm]

Red Ryu is already on the panel...

Honestly the only person who should be taken off is Ook, and its only because he's not able to be around as much. :/

Oh wait, Ook is already off. I don't think anyone should be taken off or added, tbh. Corms is still relevant.

 

[Akashi]

Corms is the only one that can be considered irrelevant, but he's so unbiased that's it's refreshing having him there

@Revo: Justin=Red double posting Ryu

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I blame posting in places where double posting us ok.

Stupid mod perks + DGames.

 

[Oro?!]

I'm the best PR panel because I love Brawl so much.

Spoiler

I can help troll Tom about not being on it

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Be on it and call yourself best Marth in the Midwest who doesn't play Brawl.

You know it to be true.

 

[Arty]

Barnick should just do the whole PR himself!!

But yah, we only have 4 PR members now (corms doesn't count lol). Adding Tom will be good since we need a 5th for breaking ties plus he's been definitely the most active out of us.

Also we're doing the update after the DB next week.

 

[hunger!]

PR Drama, comin' up. where kenni at?


edit: can we officially change kain's name to ChiTownWolf ? It's best for the community.

 

[Scythe]

Oh damn do I need to enter brawl and steal a pr spot?

 

[Oro?!]

Do I count still. I'm really wondering lol.

 

[Arty]

I'm pretty sure you're a lock for top 3, and Diego is a lock to be ranked above Grimace.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I think Gio should be on the panel imho.

 

[Akashi]

I think I've been to two tourneys xD

 

[Revolution6 aka alterego]

how far back are we lookin at tourney attendance

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I've been to more OoS tournaments super far tourneys than Chicago ones recently lol.

 

[DLA]

I'm actually kidding, I don't want to be on the PR panel lol. If no one wants to fill the 5th spot then I guess I'll do it. I just think it's silly that you guys are afraid of me being biased for myself. I mean I argued about my placing before, but I was just being my own advocate. I wasn't on the PR panel so why would I want to argue that someone should be higher than me?

I mean considering the past, I do understand why you think I may be biased. But really I am incredibly impartial if I need to be. Not like it matters though because I would really rather not be on the panel lol. I like looking at the PR thread on the day it updates... it feels like coming downstairs on Christmas morning and seeing all the presents

 

[Scythe]

umm everyone just said they would be fine with you being on the PR

That post is just fishing : /

 

[DLA]

I don't care what everyone says, I seriously don't want to be on the panel. Find someone else. Jesus Diego sometimes I get tired of your ****. Myrrh

 

[Scythe]

what a baby

 

[Oro?!]

I know right.

 

[Akashi]

I hope you get a lump of coal Tom, aka legan getting on the PR and you're a h.m :D

 

[DLA]

NOOOOOOOOOO that would be like my dog dying on christmas.

 

[Delta-cod]

So, how do people plan on getting to the tournament next Saturday?

 

[DeLux]

Delta - God like

 

[DLA]

i'm guessing the only car coming out of chicago is Arty's car, you can see if there's room in there. if not, you can take a metra to Glen Ellyn and someone will pick you up from the train station.

 

[Delta-cod]

Ahhh. Thanks for the info.

 

[Sago]

ask dla to upload one match from a tournament finals set.

GET SHUT DOWN!

Hello Everyone!,

My name is Domingo and I currently run and coordinate the majority of the Fighting Game community in Chicago! We have a Facebook Group called "The Chicago Fighting Game Community" and just want to extend a warm welcome to everyone here!

I am now employed at an amazing venue that I would love to share with the Smash community called Game Pazzo in Downers Grove, IL! I am looking to set a meet/gathering night there for the smash community on either Wednesdays, Thursdays or Sundays. I would like to talk to someone who knows the community well that could be willing to help me coordinate this. I already am talking with Dark Kakashi which some of you know already but was wondering if there is anyone else who would be willing to help make this process faster? I am looking forward to working with the community more and also planning to run tournaments too! If you want more info regarding the venue I can definitely give some more, for the time being though, we do have 24 Asus EVO monitors for people to plug in consoles(I know most of you use tubes for smash), lots of space, a bar & grill, great gaming enviroment and more! Thanks for reading and looking forward to seeing you guys!

Domingo

 

[DLA]

Hey Domingo!

The venue does sound very cool. We usually hold our tournaments in the College of DuPage cafeteria, which works out nicely because it's free for us and very spacious. Game Pazzo looks awesome though and I'm sure a lot of us would be down for a weekly Smash night. We'll be getting together this weekend for a tournament so I'll make sure we all talk about it and try to gauge our interest.

A few questions:

- How much do the TVs lag with a Wii/cube? I'm sure you know how picky people can be about even one or two frames of lag (myself included, admittedly). If there is lag, would we be able to bring in our own TVs?

- I know you want the Smash nights to be Wed, Thurs, or Sun, but if you were to start hosting tournaments, would they always be able to be on Saturday? We have people traveling from out of state for every tournament we host, and Saturday's really the only option we have when you take into account travel and housing situations.

- Any drinks in the gaming area? Also does it become 21+ after a certain hour?

- Any fee for Smash night?


Thanks!

 

[Dark Kakashi]

It is a very nice venue.

It has Evo monitors, so there should not be any lag at all. But I can let Domingo answer that one.

The Smash nights are just does, for gatherings and stuff. If there was to be a tourney it would be on a Saturday to garner more attendance from players from the city and around the Midwest that travel.

The area does have a drink area, you don't have to be 21 to be there, but I'll let Domingo answer it more clearly.

Everything else he can help answer. I just added to what I know atm.

By the way, hi guys! ;D

Told you I was still working out a venue. lol

 

[Scythe]

I don't really know what kind of monitors the evo ones are, it's pretty likely there would be lag for melee.

 

[Zwarm]

- Any drinks in the gaming area? Also does it become 21+ after a certain hour?

Asking the important questions.

 

[JJROCKETS]

I've been to Game Pazzo before, it's a really nice place.

They did a Smash tournament a while back, but it was poorly ran/organized. Not all the characters in the game were unlocked, the TVs lagged really bad, and the bracket format could have been a lot better. They advertised as having cash prizes, but on the day of the tournament decided their was not enough people to do cash prizes so we only won game time for the venue and a T-shirt.

My suggestions to improve on this would be as follows:
- Have people bring CRT TVs like we normally do. Many people will not want to play on the TVs that lag.
- Make sure all the characters and settings are unlocked, or at least let people bring set ups that have them all.
- Offer cash prizes, and actually give cash prizes.
- Singles and Doubles!

 

[Scythe]

Or just let someone from the community take charge of running the tournament. Pretty much hits all your points there.

Edit: How big is the place JJ?
