I was asking at the American Legion and at a community center near my house, but that was awhile ago and I never got a response from any of them.

GameCrazy was very thrilled about having a tournament.

Only problem....is that the place is too small.

Theres no way a SNF could be hosted there.

I would have no problem with this thread if you would just get rid of the power rankings, Joe.

Gdog, from Johnston, says he knows of a great venue in Rhode Island that we could use for a Rhode Island SSBM Tourny!!!

It can hold 280 people.

I've been to the place he's talking about. It's a card/gaming store called Disposable Heroes. It is indeed very roomy and is directly across the street (literally) from a Wendy's.

There's a really nice record store in the vicinity, for what it's worth.

Oh, that store?

Their tournaments ban wavedashing.

Edit: I've been there for a YGO regionals, it definitely is REALLY roomy.

Yes, I meant Johnston.

So many places in rhode island end with "-ton" ...

The last SSBM tourny held in Disposable Heroes, only 13 people showed up. Thats what Gdog said.

P.S.

An actual tourny banned Wavedashing???

I remember hearing about how a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament held at Disposable Heroes didn't allow Wavedashing.

Yeah, there was a card store a few minutes away from me that only allowed wavedashing if both players agreed to it beforehand

Hey Jon!

More Rhode Islanders FTW!!!

Yo, I urge you to come to the BEST Rhode Island Tournament Series: SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHT 4!

It will be held November 17, 2007.

Everyone will be there.

Here is the thread:

What you've all been waiting for...

OAK will be hosting SNF 4! The Princess is in another castle. No, Princess Peach doesn't need to be saved this time, as she floated away to A BRAND NEW VENUE!!!! So for those who attended SNF 3, this means no more harassment from URI employees, as this time it'll be held at the following location:

Disposable Heroes
1428 Hartford Ave, 2nd floor
Johnston, RI 02919

It's kind of tricky to find just from the address. It is located directly across the street from Wendy's (Hi, Tom!), directly next door to Bank RI, and on the second floor of the same building as a pool hall (forgot its name, will edit later).

For those of you that didn't know, Hartford Ave is Rt. 6A RI. Right near the venue is the intersection of Rt. 5 RI and Rt. 6A RI. This'll help you with directions. If mapquest or a similar program gives you funny directions (such as a huge letter W across southern New england) feel free to catch me on AIM so I can tell you a better way to get there.

Date: Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007
Time: 12:00 pm
Price: $10 singles, $10 teams ($5 per person)
The store will probably take about $2 per person, coming from the singles pot.
Prize: 60%/30%/10% for 1st/2nd/3rd, after the store cut.

WE NEED SETUPS! Please bring TV's, Gamecubes, copies of smash, and VCR's. This'll help make the event run more smoothly and allow time to play friendlies.

RULES:

* Bring your own controller, or you'll be provided with a broken one (if you're lucky).
* All matches are best out of 3, best out of 5 for the finals.
* 4 stock, 8 minutes
* No items
* First stage is random or agreed upon by both players, further are counterpicked by the losing player, or selected at random if loser picks new character. (see New rules, below)
* Random stages (Singles): Pokémon Stadium, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Battlefield, Dreamland 64, Final Destination
* Random stages (Teams): Pokémon Stadium, Yoshi's Story, Battlefield, Dreamland 64, Final Destination
* Banned stages (Singles and Teams): Peach's Castle, Onett, Yoshi’s Island, Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flat Zone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom II, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Jungle Japes, Green Greens, Pokefloats
* Banned stages (Teams only): Fountain of Dreams
* Banned stages (Singles only): Great Bay
* Team attack is on.
* Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (such as the IC freeze glitch) are not allowed.
* Using tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound to excessively stall a match is not allowed.
* Controller mods which affect gameplay such as shorthop mod, L-trigger mod, etc. are considered cheating and are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller, you will be disqualified with no refunds. Feel free to use controllers with purely cosmetic mods such as stickers and different color paint. 3rd party controllers are allowed, but any additional features that aren't found on a standard nintendo controller (such as programmable buttons or turbo buttons of any kind) are banned.
* Pick up after yourselves if you leave a mess.
* No fighting! You will be asked to leave without a refund, and banned from any of our future events.

NEW RULES:

* Zoso's Counterpick Rule: Winner of previous match must remain the same character for the following match. Loser can either change their character or pick a stage, not both.
* Stage Strike: Both players may choose one stage to strike off of the random list, which only applies to random. If you won your match, and your opponent chooses to counterpick stage instead of character, he may pick the stage you struck off random. However, if he counterpicks character, both of you may still strike one stage off of random. Stage strikes are chosen after characters are chosen.
* Pay attention to the banned stages list. This differs from previous SNF's.
* I will do either Swiss seeding or pool seeding for singles. If the turnout is greater than 50 people, the worst scoring people in the preliminary round will be eliminated to bring the number of people added to the double elimination bracket down to 48. If there is less than 50 people, the preliminary rounds will just be used for seeding.

Mark your calendars now. This event will be hot! :lick:

just heard about this tourney from a buddy of mine also at Brown, Jeff. Jon, were you one at TH a couple weeks ago? BTW, if you ever want to play we usually are playing at New Dorm, just ask Jeff whenever he comes to give you a ring. I'll try and get our whole group of smashers to come to this tourney:

Name: shanus (shane)
City:providence

I'll definitely be there, a month should be enough time to practice. I've been to only smaller tournaments so this is the first tournament I'm going to that has over twenty people. I can't wait, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Shanus: Yeah I know Jeff. I've played with him a few times and I must say he is quite good. The only place I've played SSB here is at Keeney. He's the only other smasher I've really played with at Brown, so I really have to meet some more people. I'm definitely down for playing with you guys, next time Jeff comes by New Dorm I'll make sure he gives me a call. Or just call me at my cell (404-316-1056) next time you've got a game going on, I'll seriously drop whatever I'm doing and join you, I can never turn down a game of Smash. If we're all going to the tourney we should get together regularly for some crazy smashing.

aight sounds good, same goes for any peeps who come into providence and want a good game, there are a couple of us who are pretty hardcore about smash here at Brown.... Also, we might be having a charity smash tourney later this semester but I'll post details on that later
