Upstate New York Tournament Thread

Collision is a local not a national. Come on down MetalPat!

A rose by any other name would still have the same top level players in attendance

 

[Omega Tyrant]

Since when did getting to play the best players become a discouragement?

 

[da K.I.D.]

If you ever start winning money in tournaments, things will start becoming much clearer

You and Pat haven't won money up here in one of the worst regions, in what, over a year?

 

[da K.I.D.]

How many tournaments have i been to in that timeframe? How many tournaments have we even had in the last year.

I havent placed out side the money in doubles... Since like 08 09. But this isnt about what I do, since im not a part of this conversation. All i said was that when you place in the money, your perception will probably change on a few things. Unless youre just being salty, i dont know why i was even brought up at all.

 

[BetaBahamut]

Tyrant has placed in the money a bunch of times. Besides that I have placed in the money like 9/10 of my last tournys and my perspective never changed. Some people actually like getting better for reasons outside of winning money, and playing good people makes you better.

in essence, It aint bout da money.

 

[huMps]

Nobody's profiting off this game, especially when you consider the amount of time you have to put in to get good enough to actually win $(for most of us). And then there's gas and taking off work and all that.

The real reason some people don't like playing better players than themselves is they don't know how to handle losing.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Losing in melee sucks ****. Real talk.

 

[MetalPat]

im not too upset losing to players i know are better than me. thats not why i dont want to go. what bothers me is knowing im on a fixed income, with real bills to pay and long with having to take the time away from school and work (i know its the weekend, but its all day saturday which is honestly time i could use to work on my grad work as well as my job).

so i dont mind going, and losing to anti, or m2k. but when i have to worry about going and losing to 20 people of that calibar, while paying for gas and sitting in a car for half of the trip, id rather just play with people in the area who are pretty close in skill and work on that for now. im not about to throw away $60+ for this.

p.s. kyle, youve always been a scrub for as long as ive known you, just saying. even if you went mk. youd have better luck going sonic.

 

[DahremRuhar]

I'll throw my two cents in.

I don't play for money. I play because I love the game. I'm willing to drop a few bucks to have a good time. But, that's why I only play in CNY. If I were traveling, money would be more of an incentive.

Not that I've been to a tournament in two years.

 

[huMps]

Oh yeah? Tell me about it lol

 

[x13mako]

There aren't any mks in region anymore, really.

Funny how hearing this doesn't make me sad. Not in the least bit.

Makes me sad, but for a different reason.

 

[Itsnotmyfault]

Mako, you haven't been to anything in a while, sorry .

 

[x13mako]

Mako, you haven't been to anything in a while, sorry .

>that was your reason
Also, while I know that I haven't been up to date with the tourneys, the reason why nothing happened at upstate battles was a lack of brawl players.

Hey guys, I'm planning on hosting 2 tournaments for my last quarter at RIT. I just want to know what date you want me to host it on, and any suggestions about what you'd like to see or how I should run it.

 

[da K.I.D.]

The plan so far has been Melee Singles, Melee Doubles, Project:M Doubles, Brawl Minus Doubles

Nyc

Hi guys, I'm a french smasher and I will be in new York for a week. I'll visit the place during 3 days with a friend, but from Wednesday 12 to friday 14 i'll be alone there.
So I planed to see some other things, but I was thinking if a day is rainy or during an evening, I could maybe meet some NYC smashers and play some melee!
So if anyone live in manhattan or close, it could be fun to meet you!
Let me know, bye

the next big event.

Goggles should put it in the op.

Seeing what I do there.

 

[Cassius.]

Just posting (publicly) to give a big thanks to Sharky for hooking me up with some people, that was extremely generous of you and I really appreciate it!

I actually did play Dan (Stack) today, and it was a lot of fun. I have not played Brawl before today since the start of the summer really so it was nice to get back into it.

I'm looking forward to Dustbowl and whatever sessions we'll have before then.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Very first post of this thread.

Rob, how exactly do you intend for me to put the link to the tournament in the OP, when I dont have access to Betas account?

 

[Sharky]

Just saying, it's kind of already in the OP.

 

[Pmac]

I'm also in the syracuse area, i'd be glad to play melee or PM

 

[BetaBahamut]

Just saying, it's kind of already in the OP.

No I put it in after goggles mentioned it.
