TSA and CCX Present - NJ's SMASHACRE Monthly Tournaments - Nov 3rd! Final Farewell :(

[Teczer0]

Come to The Tunes biweeklies!! Also KOTC is going to be in trenton soon I think, philly is thinking of starting up tournies too. However it'd be nice if the smashacre's stayed too, despite the laggy tv's.

Tunes bi-weeklies are something i would like to attend and bass offered me a partial ride but its still pretty expensive im actually gonna try to go to KOTC somehow

philly is too hard for me to get to T_T

smashacre is great >_> well was great T_T

i guess ill go back to being a NY smasher >_>

 

[Eggm]

Eh TSA will come up with something, they always do, for now go to the Tunes biweeklies tho, expensive is ok if you win right? Or win the free copies of brawl as a door prize?

lmao i wuz wondering who would see that.

actually i prefer being NJ cuz i live here but NY is quite awesome >_> but sometimes they own me too often >_>

 

[Jigglymaster]

Ah crud. First there was KOTC in NJ then there was TSA. What now? Its not like there were any tournys that were this good and this consistant within less than an hour away from me. Well, good thing Brawl has online, cuase this might have been my last tourny for quite a while. =(

 

[max32090]

this is more about smash tournaments this is about CCX. i guess nj smashers arent as attached to it as i am.

 

[Eggm]

NJ will own you often too, just show up at a Tunes biweekly.

 

[Teczer0]

NJ will own you often too, just show up at a Tunes biweekly.

haha >_> yea that true too the difference is that the same NJ people own me >_>

 

[phish-it]

I really hope CyberconXion doesn't leave for good. I mean, it's probably the only venue in NJ close enough for me to attend.

 

[Bailey]

lol. If KOTC moves to Trenton that is awesome. Also I <33 CCX I hope they don't close down. That will make me a sad panda.

 

[Inui]

lol. If KOTC moves to Trenton that is awesome.

Very.

I'm 2 miles from Trenton.

 

[Eggm]

They said the next KOTC will be in trenton.

 

[Bass.]

I was just reviewing the results from Smashacre. Something is bothering me a bit. I didn't get the first seed in my pools. I ended up with a record of 6-2 and Sensei ended up with a record of 6-3. He ended up getting a better seed than I. I'm wondering why that was. We even started playing a tie breaker but didn't finish but I won the first round (we didn't finish because copy cat said sensei had more matches to play). I'm wondering what was up with that by anychance. It's not that I didn't have fun and have a problem with my placing, it's just that I like everything being smooth and equal. Sorry if I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just trying to figure out what happened.

EDIT: Wait, I think WoZ just made a mistake in the pools records. I think Sensei is supposed to have beat max 2-1. I remember watching that match and seeing them go 1-1 but just ending it there. So yeah, that's the mistake.


EDIT #2: So I'm confused again. If it is really max losing to Sensei is true, I think that would have eliminated him from the bracket. Unless my pool was top 4 out of 5 but that wouldn't make sense. Something's not right.

 

[Cia]

!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

THE TUNES ARE COMING..

w/ low tiers..

lolz, idk

 

[Bass.]

I can't figure it out! Something went wrong with the brackets. D:

All pools were top 4 out of 5, only pool 1 was 4 out of 6.

 

[Bass.]

Thanks, you just saved the day.

 

[JFox]

Yeah I was checking that out. Something is definitely screwy. It has down that Max 2-0'd sensei. Now if he 1-2 against sensei, as Bass said, that would mean that Bass and Sensei would have tied in the pools. That should mean that they would have to tie breaker it.

Sensei ended up playing someone in the 25th spot (Lone) of pools, and Bass ended up playing someone in the 17th spot(Inui).

Edit: Bass has the sweetest job ever. He gets payed to just sit on smashboards.

 

[Bass.]

Now that i look at it, Starz shouldn't have gotten 4th, Lol! This is too confusing for my mind in the morning.

No no, the mistake is max is 3rd and should be 4th. Sensei beat him 2-1. With that being true Max would only have 3 wins instead of 4 but Starz should have 5wins anyway making him 3rd. I should have been 2nd unless something changed I missed. Even though Starz beat Ky he shouldn't have had to fight him I think.

 

[JFox]

Wow I was looking at the bracket, and I have to say-

Atomsk gets screwed at every tournament he goes to. He got last place, fighting LK first round, than Inui. Stop sucking....lol. Nah thats not cool though WoZ, give this kid a break.

Treble had a really gay bracket- Jigglymaster(King of gay) Eggm(gay with Treble) Sensei(gay in real life) and then M2k(gay with robots) than he goes on to fight Eggm and Sensei again(more gay)

LOL I'm in that sort of mood.

Eggm can't beat one person there, and he had to play him twice. How unfortunate. That not a complaint, that just sucks. I wanted to see him play LK, or Sensei.

Why didn't Reik compete in singles. He played in pools and than never entered the bracket....perhaps that is why Max stayed in???????



Seriously, the only part of this post people should take interest in is the fact that once again Atomsk got screwed hardcore by noncrew-seeded brackets.

 

[Bass.]

That's not too bad. They would have to fight each other eventually at some point unless one of them stayed in winners and the other in losers. That's just not going to happen with M2K there.

I just wonder what would have happened to the tournament if this one little butterfly of a mistake was corrected.

 

[Magus420]

THP in general got holy bracket pwnerered, lol.



Only 4 entered (3 not counting Kashif :embarrass), and in one little 1/8 section of the bracket it was Inui, LK, and Atomsk + Bass

 

[Bass.]

Yeah, that is crazy.

 

[max32090]

reik wasnt in my pool but im pretty sure i was 4th and starz was 3rd. i only won 4 matches in pools

 

[Bass.]

I don't think he meant that you fought Reik in pools. I think he was asking if Reik just didn't enter so they drafted you back in. However, you were supposed to be in the bracket anyway because you didn't get eliminated, they just seeded you wrong unless you did beat Sensei 2-0, then they would have seeded me wrong.

Reik forfeited to Scar because he wanted to see how Scar would do. This is ofcourse after he lost to VaNz.

 

[Scar]

Reik did compete in singles, but he lost to Vanz first round and then forfeited to me in losers. I kind of didn't want him to because he would have *****, but he wanted to let me play since he has more experience than I do and he's just an overall amazing guy.

 

[JFox]

I wow, lol I didn't even see that Reik entered because he was elim'd so quick.

Nice job beating Sol, Scar. Thats a really nice win.

And Reik probably would have gone just as far as you had he advanced, since he gets so mentally intimidated by Sensei...

 

[Scar]

Sensei and I had the most amazing first match ever. It came kind of close, I was closer to beating Tec0 than I was to Sensei though, both 3rd match last stock but with Tec0 I was up 2-1 stocks last match! So upset. Good comeback on his part, he just dominated the stage on my last stock, I couldn't get on the offensive.

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

Bass, I inputted the results that were given to me on paper. There were some pools that only finished their set at 1-1, when it was a set of 2 out of three. I asked them to finish their set and re-write the results on paper.

As for the crews fighting each other in the first round, I'll ask neal if there's a way to continue separating by crew when promoting winners from brackets.

 

[Eggm]

Jfox, there were two people there who I was worried about, m2k and treble. But yeah it did suck to have to fight treble twice.. like.. pretty much right away in winners/losers, I still somehow managed 5th tho while going all fox/falcon since my falco can't play on those tv's so whatever, I got 1st last weekend and a respectable 5th here, I'll just do better next time.

I also have to say lol, atmosk has been getting better, I think the gay brackets are holding him back.

Oh also, next time can we vote for no pools and seeding by known skill/crew, instead of pools then having to fight out own crew mates in the brackets? Unless you can find a way with neal to do both, that'd be super hot and amazing.

The crew seeding should go further than first round too, if you look at that pic magus posted, Inui was setup to play his crew 2nd and 3rd round if he continued to win also, lame. ;(

No big deal. I'm not losing sleep over it, but if the result on the paper was right, I should have gotten first seed then.

As far as seperating crews, I don't think it was too bad other than for THP in the beginning of singles brackets and Avalanche in doubles pools. I think those could have been avoided. You don't have to worry about them fighting in the second or third round. There's only so much you can do. What happens if the crew ends up being like 10 people? Just leave it how it is and worry about the initial phase of the tourny I'd say.

 

[Scar]

idk, The whole point about seeding by crews is that you don't play the people you play all the time, right? So isn't seeding pools by crews the more important part? You get to play lots of new people, 4 or 5, before you get into the bracket.

I understand that no one wants to play their friends in brackets because that's just lame, but it's kind of inevitable. IMO seeding pools by crew should be more/less enough.

 

[Eggm]

Lol, pools are corny, no one takes them serious nor do your wins in there count nearly as much towards rankings or reputation or anything. If anything thats where i'd want to play my crew, since it matters less.

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

Tio must really not like THP then.

You wouldn't be saying that if I said top two advanced instead of top four.

 

[pockyD]

i think that a good solution imo would be to, if you keep pools, make them count more

that is, only take top 2/5 instead of 4/5, etc.; you'll get a much better distribution if people are forced to take them seriously

then again the players themselves won't like it as much because the mediocre people who teeter on the edge will be all nervous; even if they would've gone 2 and out in the bracket, it still feels better than 'didn't make it out of pools'

 

[Eggm]

Yeah, and it was top four so thats why I didn't. xD Thats why at a big tourney like c3 where only top 2 advance, crews should be seeded by crew/reigon, but in a tourney like this, it really didn't matter.

Whatever, my bracket was fine, I woulda lost to LK or sensei at that venue for sure anyway, so it probably worked out for me, but THP really did get rocked by that bracket. Oh well, hopefully brackets turn out luckier next time, and if they don't again, maybe we can just hit a regenerate button? Does tio have that?

 

[Teczer0]

Scar - ure an amazing player a really cool guy actually to tell you the truth i thought i wuz gonna lose i hate fighting CF sometimes i know wat i do wrong and i get hurt so bad for it and u basically jus ***** me for it good stuff man i had mad fun playin u i hope i can play u more

seeding by pools is more fun to me although there are chances that gay brackets could come up i think its unreasonable of the bracket atomsk got but im sure Woz didnt intend to screw over atomsk

to me pools are fun cuz they let me play more people since in the actual tourney i would play around like 5-6 people

with pools i played around 10-11 which is awesome

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

Tio can't really regenerate a new bracket when seedings have been decided by pools. The point of seeding by pools is to accurately seed the players around the bracket.

LK got 1st in his pool, Inui 3rd, and Atomsk last. They ended up the way they did because of their performance in pools.

 

[Eggm]

Edit, nvm I talked to woz.
