**** sundays.

Seriously just do Saturdays. We're the ones who need to get better than Chris after all since hes so far ahead of us. It'd be better this way to not have him come

 

[GamerGuitarist7]

no i'm not that good

 

[Rubyiris]

chris is awful.

 

[Piman34]

I'd vote friday or saturday but if its during the week I could just come late, my classes go until 8:30 pm tues-thurs

 

[OkamiBW]

On Sundays, Shiv, Nick, Xander, Dashdance-F4 and I are busy.

 

[Iron Dragon]

CTB OFFICIAL MELEE WEEKLIES:

Are now on Saturdays at 5pm excluding the days Rob has tournaments.

Also, there will be smash here on Wednesday. All are welcome and there are 2 couches and a spare bed; we play pretty late.

Again, any questions or comments call me at (520)331-9362 or Jade (520)904-8341

EDIT: Sorry Chris, we know you need the practice but Tucson has spoken.

 

[OkamiBW]

Will you guys be attending this tourney on the 16th?

 

[ninjade1]

im gonna call someone when im off work and see if its still going on, if so im gonna go.

 

[GamerGuitarist7]

you guys are all ******* if you think i'm good. all i do is SD and never finish combos.

gg7 sucks.

 

[Silly Kyle]

^ Agreed. Should have watched our matches last night, all he did was SD and failed at finishing combos, like simple auto-combos like dthrow > knee and uair > uair > uair> knee.

What a newb.

 

[Piman34]

you guys should do friday when there is a tourney on saturday, to practice for it!

yeah yeah, but saturday should work most of the time

[TommyDerMeister]

[COOPER]

so a reminder, smash tonight, who's going?

and yeah rob i'll be there, are there gonna be pools?

 

[Rubyiris]

Nvm, holy **** thats like at least three busses.

 

[OkamiBW]

Yeah, pools will happen.

 

[Rubyiris]

there is still absolutely no reason to have pools.

 

[Silly Kyle]

Actually, there are several reasons to have pools, betch. I support it!!

 

[Rubyiris]

I'm against it, but I won't complain about it. I'm confident in my ability to consistently make it out of pools and do decently in bracket. I just personally feel our player-base isn't large enough to fully justify pools.

I also know several people who absolutely hate pools, and would rather just have only brackets.

The one thing I do like about pools is that because of it, I've gotten balanced brackets the last two tournaments in a row. No win a round, then auto-lose to sean and jeff, or some equivalent. I've been getting either a hard round 1, then run a train on losers, or win r1, lose r2, then work with a more difficult losers bracket, which imo is what my bracket SHOULD look like based on my current level of skill.

 

[Tee ay eye]

There's definitely reasons to have pools, it's just sorta... time consuming.

As far as I know, pools are only really useful for seeding and elimination (I don't think it mathematically saves time at all, no matter what the circumstances). If I'm correct, then smaller locals generally do a bracket off the bat cuz they can seed like, 8 people and be done with it.

 

[Silly Kyle]

I like pools because you get to play more people, which makes that $5 worth it. Plus you get a chance to scout the competition and then bring it hard in bracket.

It's also better for seeding, which is why you have gotten balanced brackets at the last two tournaments.

The only drawback of pools is how long it takes, but honestly you should be happy to play like 3 more people as opposed to potentially getting only like 2 people in bracket if you lose in both winner's and loser's.

BTW....

I FINALLY GOT A JOB!! F*** YEAH!!!!!!!!!

w0000000000000000000000000000t!!!!

I will be working at Aeropostale, a clothing store at the Foothills Mall. A bunch of retail places are hiring for seasonal *cough* Xander *cough*

YAY!! <3

 

[Tee ay eye]

I will be working at Aeropostale, a clothing store at the Foothills Mall

Thank you, Kyle.

I didn't know what Aeropostale was before you explained it.

 

[kid tipper]

I support pools. Paying 5 dollars and then losing two bracket matches in a row and being done is very lame.

 

[OkamiBW]

Pools give players who are not necessarily up to par with YOUR skill, Xander, a chance to play more than 2 games.

 

[Piman34]

I worked at aero this summer haha

Iirc most of the people opposing pools are generally much worse than me, which is ironic.

...And then you play 5+ hours of friendlies.

 

[COOPER]

idk, i see both sides of it. personally, as a player not quite good enough to make it out of pools, it feels like it's not worth the money to just play my pool even though it would most likely end up being more matches than just going into brackets right away.

or maybe i should quit *****ing and just get better
