I apologize for unexpectedly setting a bad example for the newer players in this area. Neither sheik or I are confrontational in any way and are quite approachable in person. We actually live on the same floor and play each other everyday. My intent was just to tease sheik and toughen him up a bit psychologically. (A quick lesson in mindgames: keep your guard up before, during, and after matches)

All Pittsburgh smashers respect respect other smashers regardless of experience, skill, etc.

Anyways, I kind of think that the tradition set 2/3 mlg for cash is OK for money match format if you want to prepare for tourneys, but I'd like to propose something a little different.

Designate a certain number of games, like 10 for example. And then the winner of each game wins a dollar. So if it splits 5-5, then no one owes any money, and then the most a player can win is like 10 if its a shut out. This way both players have an incentive to continue playing their hardest, but are still rewarded if the matchup is close. It'll also feel better because if you are playing for money, you want to play for a longer period of time, or you'll feel shortchanged if you loose.

maybe this format could catch on a little better?

name of this format hasn't been decided yet, patent pending, etc.

Right I get that, and i apologize if i too came off ruder than expected. That wasnt my intention at all. Like i said i was messin with around with a friend. And i kind of like that 10 match idea nivek, im all for tie's lol (which is probaby why im such an abismale "competitive" player).

But yeah its fine...no bad example was set. Maybe i should have heeded my own advice and bit my tounge as well on that one eh? lol

Me sorry'z steve'z...me hopey you still lovey long time (:

I understand I knew it was you just being you from the start, and to bring something else to light I am not that good, but whatever

just to clear the tension i knew he was kidding and yes we are pals

but hopefully I can go tomorrow too, granted i am not busy

and hey if you're lucky you'll get some of my delicious brownies :laugh: and perhaps a TV and a gamecube and memory card

if i can find a way to pound i'll mm all of you =\

also it's insanely hard to find first-party controllers at all here in taiwan, much less awesome-colored ones

ps i don't recall ever trying to talk people out of tournaments... i just remember saying that i wouldn't participate, and others felt the same way already (taki, etc) - i had no idea that i held the hammer and everyone had to do as i did

Ok, $5

Sure, I don't care about the format, so it's your pick, but I want to mm you.


As it seems to be in style right now, I'll throw out the open mm to whoever wants em. Best of 3, 5, or heYniveK style, up to $5 or $1/game in heYniveK style. Also, Rob, I don't care if you mm me, but I need to learn to play gay vs. Y. Link, so play me. I'm still shaken that I lost to f'in' Laijin.

EDIT:
bout time cleveland, some of us will def be there, i will most likely be there.
Sorry, I'm madly in love with MTG pre-releases, so this is a no go for me.

You're right, but you usually said a really well constructed sentence explaining why you didn't want to participate and, therefore, you indirectly convinced everyone that tournaments were lame.

<3

Wes, I'll play as many games as you want... I'll even reveal all the secrets for beating Young Link.

i'll start accepting/ challenging mm's in my signature format when i get back. i will have to say though, mm's are the most fun only when people haven't played each other in awhile, unless you have some sort of ongoing rivalry you would have to keep it fresh with different rules or something.

i'll be bringing to pittsburgh my red version of pokemon with a cable thingy, if anyone wants to play that.

I might come today with a friend. If I come we'll both bring cubes and smiles =D

Heads-up for the future: there's a hefty two-day "tournament fest" being planned for my youth center for later this month. One of the games featured will be smash, and all the pot goes back to the players. Other games featured are Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, and Pokemon D/P. It isn't something I planned personally...I don't know if it will be worth going to or if it will cross over the dates of important tournies. But the pot will be decent because a lot of local nobodies are coming.

Then I definitely have to say yes.

I might have hockey games that day, but they also might be early in the morning. Or, I might not have them at all. If I don't have hockey, I'll drive to this.

Well, you don't have to show/leave at any particular time. For example, I was only there from 2-7 today. However, sometimes we run small tournaments that start at around 4.

In other news, your age really doesn't matter. As long as you can find transportation, it isn't a problem. For the most part, the players that come on Fridays are college kids (ages 19-24). Feel free to join.

Good stuff today guys. I think the tournament went fairly well... it took a bit too long, but we can work on that.

Results:
1. SwiftBass
2. D20
3. Takieddine
4. dead-aim
5. TSK

Other notes:
Evan, I have the controller, and you were also supposed to win one more dollar (I got that for you, too).
9Volt, thanks for always being prepared with tio and such.
