So how is Friday afternoon again for everyone? Saturday would be okay for me as well.

One more time before everyone leaves and I have to go a whole month without smash!

 

[_marth1_]

friday afternoon is good for me i think

nice job alex

 

[Dekuschrub]

yeah it was so fun... all the matches i lost were really close to both darkrain and viperboy.. even though they were both 2-0 lol

i was pretty pleased with how i was playing vs darkrain... nothing for me to be that upset about but i played like crap vs viperboy.. I thought it would be cool to just spam N air... i dont know.. haha oh well it was still awesome.

oh and I dont know if I can play Friday, I think that is the day I am leaving..

 

[SuperMatt]

i like wednesday or thursday more than friday...

you went fox for singles, right? did you play fal...i mean the cheap character at all in doubles?

 

[brickman]

I have my last final on Saturday during the afternoon, anyone up for then?

 

[Dekuschrub]

i didnt even look at the character screen... all fox. Dmac dies a lot i needed the survivability..

of course the match we got eliminated in i straight up jumped off the edge killing myself to start because I though I was Dmac

I'm thinking that maybe I should use more falco though.. I'm not crazy about fox vs falco but im cool with falco dittos... I also beat darkrain in some friendlies with falco but idk its just friendlies.. I might be goin to a tourney the 19th so i'll see then

oh and Thursday afternoon is excellent for me

 

[AOB]

I have my last final on Saturday during the afternoon, anyone up for then?

During your final, you mean? Well, it works for me, but I think you should go to the exam instead.

 

[brickman]

good old tired eric brickman.

Well let me rephrase. Is anyone up for a little smash on Saturday Dec. 15th starting at about 5pm and continuing for a month?

Edit: This is mature-post 420.

 

[Dew Rag]

thurs afternoon plz or wed afternoon
i'm done with finals thurs at 4:30

gj alex at msop, nice ranking

 

[Dekuschrub]

Thursday at 530! Any objections?

 

[AOB]

I can do that.

 

[TheWalkingThano]

I've got a crappy finals schedule (two today, one friday, and one saturday), so I'll probably skip playing this week and just play some next semester. I may play over winter break if anyone is around the northern suburbs and wants to play.

 

[Dew Rag]

anyone want to play tues afternoon or wed
cuz i am in need of a smash fix after 2 finals back to back mon evening/tues morning

uh, is barrington/hoffman estates close to anyone here?

anyone want to play today? cuz i've been up for 24+ hours and just finished 2 finals and in need of a smash fixing

done with finals, physics final is a joke

 

[AOB]

physics final is a joke

Try taking Quantum II.

I think Thurs at 530 is the time. Hope (almost) everyone can make it!

 

[brickman]

I wish

Public Policy is the bane of my existence.

 

[TheWalkingThano]

Well, turns out Robin and I will be playing in my room (Townsend 308 in ISR) until about 6 if anyone wants to play a little. Just stop by.

 

[AOB]

Still have not heard from Henrik or the Super Radovich Bros. about 530 Thurs!

I guess I should have mentioned that Saturday nights don't work for me. Sorry Eric!

 

[SuperMatt]

5:30 thursday is good...someone bring a 2nd setup

 

[_marth1_]

i guess ill make it...i dont see myself studying for my 8am friday before dinner anyway
can we make it earlier like 4:30? i want to be home by 7

 

[AOB]

I may not be there quite at 430... I'm not "supposed" to use the parking lot until 5.

 

[Dekuschrub]

i can do 430 tom if you wanna go then...

 

[SuperMatt]

ya 4:30 then...does anyone want to do an iron man match?

 

[Hyol]

what is iron man match?

 

[SuperMatt]

well i dont know if there is an official version, but mine goes like this: A picks a random char B picks a random char and fight on a randomly picked stage out of the normal 6 stages...then the winner of that match picks a different random character and the loser picks a character (not random) and then continue this way for 25 matches when A and B have both used all 25 characters once...and then whoever won more matches is the winner

i havent tried this so i dont know if its fun or if it even works...plus it would take about 75 minutes...we could make it shorter by doing 3 stocks and banning a few characters

 

[Dekuschrub]

An iron man, at least as far as I thought, was basically a crew battle between two people. So like say I was going to versus someone in a 16 stock 4 character iron man, then I would choose my fox, falco, marth, and shiek. Yeah you would basically just go from there.

I have also heard it was done where it is just a 3 character, 3 match game. Where you write down the 3 characters you will use, in order, and they will write down the 3 characters they will use. You play the 3 matches and whoever wins more wins. I think....

You can always adjust the number of characters you use and whatnot.. I'm not exactly sure. For the second version I think its 5 characters first to 3 wins but its really whatever you want.


I'll eat you up in a 2 man iron match! FOX FALCO YES!!

 

[AOB]

Well, uhm, you guys'll have to wait until we have either a whole bunch of TVs or a very small number of people.

 

[slomo431]

of course the match we got eliminated in i straight up jumped off the edge killing myself to start because I though I was Dmac

Don't you mean you thought you were me? That's my signature move!

I can make it around 5:30 tomorrow I think. Weston right? Don't they usually kick us out of there during finals week?

I haven't posted in a while because I've been sleeping and playing the orange box for all of the past few days.

I'll also bring my setup. Someone bring a third.

 

[Hyol]

hm sounds like an iron man game is anything you want it to be. About weston, i always thought during finals week the lounge is used as a study place during certain times. If that is so, hopefully it isn't around the time we play.

 

[slomo431]

Yeah I'm pretty sure we were kicked out of Weston last year. I think that was one of the reasons we were going to Allen around that time. I doubt we could get the basement TV either because even more people study there.

 

[Dekuschrub]

sooo do you wanna still try to go to weston orrrr..

somewhere else?..?

 

[Dew Rag]

i can't play 2morrow unless it's like before 5:30

i decided to go home 2morrow =_= so yeah like 4:30 at allen or 3:30 at allen would be nice

or anytime beforehand lol

 

[AOB]

Uhm... if you guys think Allen is a better bet, you could try it. People don't study there?

 

[_marth1_]

we could just skip playing

 

[Dekuschrub]

i'm up for trying weston.. i'll recheck the boards at like 4:00 to see any new developments, if you wanna try weston POST UP

 

[slomo431]

Durand why'd you have to go and leave so early. I always stay after my finals are done so I can do whatever I want for a few days. Like smash. Anyway, I'm not too far from Barrington, so if you wanna get your friends together for a smashfest over break I'll probably come to it.

 

[brickman]

Here is a funny fact.

So over winter break I will be in Philly visiting my brother. During the day he will be at work.

So I figured out that I might as well do something during the day, so I contacted some people.

Cactuar, Dot_eater, and Scar have invited me to play with them during the day. It makes me laugh out loud. Traveling across the U.S. smashing.

 

[slomo431]

Hmm...I'm staying in LA for 5 days, maybe I should challenge all those UCLA people. Smashing Illini is gonna conquer the coasts. Manifest destiny!

Dan, you ever decide on whether to go to the Rose Bowl or not?

Anyway, I think people study in Allen too, but last year the few that did didn't care that we played. But that's no guarantee for this year. Someone could check out Weston and/or Allen first and then call everyone. I call not it. I'm probably gonna be walking to wherever we play straight from work. Or does anyone wanna volunteer their house or apartment or something?

 

[AOB]

So the problem with having one dude check places (which sounds like me unless someone has a bike) is that after I find a place, you all have to get to it. That wastes time. And no, I am not going to go around picking you all up. Besides, I can't be checking places until around 5 anyway.

If you guys think Allen is a better bet, go ahead and try that first. If it doesn't work, you could walk to ISR? Or wait for me to arrive at about 4:50 or so and we can try something else?

Or we could go to someone's apartamento?

 

[brickman]

Here is a suggestion. Go to Allen first, if that doesn't work out leave a sign on the door telling us where you went after that. Allen Hall should be free, the only thing listed on their event calendar is book buyback, and that is not in the room we would play in. Everyone is pretty nice there and I don't think anyone is going to make a big deal about it.

P.S. what time are you guys planing to start?

 

[AOB]

I think 430 is the plan. I myself will be slightly late.
