Thanks for coming everyone, it was fun. Sorry my place is so small, but it worked alright.
FtS, you SoB, why'd you give Jeyt the one match and not me. I played pretty good against you even though you 2-0ed me, one of these days your going down.
Gojira, nice job, your still holding your place above Laozy. Keep it up.
DSL, nice to see you still have it, especally with a different character than most we usually see in tournies, it's really nice to see a few others in there.
Laozy, screw your Samus. Without your out-of-shield up-B and your sex-kick priority you'd be nothing, NOTHING!
Junpei, you won me by one, and there's a couple rounds in there I could of won. Next time I'm definatly ranking higher than you, so see ya. Oh, and your Falco sucks. (told you to change from Jiggs [kidding] ).
Takalth and Gideon, your both getting a lot better (if I'm qualified to make that observation...). And Chris, I know it's hard to be green at tournies, but you'll start picking up some mad skills pretty quick, your definatly not a bad player.

Oh, and Marths, you want to up-throw chain Falco, then end with a tipper when he escape; you can take him 0-death no prob.

 

[Takalth]

Takalth and Gideon, your both getting a lot better .

I made it into the top 12 this time!!!

 

[Vyquinzum]

Just this week my mom gave me permission to attend the smash meets (as long as I bring my brother) and I will practice 'til the March the 10th.

infact I might allow the smashers of Utah decide the character I will play as...nah that is too much of a snobbish remark...

(hmmm I haven't decided on a particular main )

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Oh and if all goes well at my house I just might host...

 

[Cdbobo]

Go with Doc! He rules.

On the other hand, if you dont mind employing cheatery, go marth or shiek. If you want to have fun, go Roy. If you like fast technical skill, go fox or falco (and fox would be included in the cheatery if you know how to shine spike. sooooooo gay) and if you just want to be a big guy who does a TON of damage go Ganondorf. That's obviously just all my opinions... except for the cheap comments; those are truisms. :D

Well here is a list of characters I like to use...(and sort of good at)

Sheik (but I'm bad with her defense)
Zelda (yes I use both sides of this "coin" )
Mario
Pikachu
Link (might switch to Y. Link for his speed)
Ganondorf
Fox (but only recently)
Yoshi

and I am currently exploring the toughest and seemingly weak characters like such as Mewtwo (and when I mean weak I mean they can get KO'ed easy).

I'm just kinda stumped on which one to use

 

[Takalth]

Well, it depends how you balance the scale between winning and fun. Some people are lucky and have the most fun with top tier characters, while others have to strike the balance. Myself, for example, I gave up on turning my Kirby into a highly competitive character, but I'm still trying with Zelda (who is low, but not as low). If you're aimed entirely at winning, take Fox or Sheik (based on the list you gave). Otherwise, pick whoever is fun.

 

[Jeyt]

Noone said you even have to "main" anyone. Just learn them all. That could be useful to you. Who knows.

If you want to win go bowser. People will look at hoim and just start suiciding because he is to good.

 

[Junpappy]

Funny how that didn't happen once against your bowser.

You really shouldn't practice with that many characters. Pick a few and work on them until you get really good. You should also have some sort of high tier character in your arsenal, even if it's only a secondary character.

 

[FoxTheStampede]

Pick whoever you feel like playing at that moment. Your gut feeling will take care of the rest. Should only take about a few weeks that way, and the accuracy is 100%.

Can we get back on topic yet? Utah thread is for that stuff ^

go drink pepsi out of a can using
a straw!!!!!!

 

[lengeta]

These convos are popping up in here because with the bi-weeklies going in, this has become the active thread. BTW, I definatly think we should keep the bi-weeklies going after the big tourny, I love me some smash. We could alternate the typical $2 price with our montly $5 for the monthly tournies. Also, Gojira's said it before, ...sorta..., but am I the only one that finds it a little bit akward the only time we 'hang out' is at tournies? Meh.

Also Gojira, Rage knows what he's talking about keeping a top-tier in your roster. He only beat me because he switched from Jiggs to Falco. Seriously, I ban everyone from arguing otherwise.

 

[FoxTheStampede]

I was considering moving to triweeklies with $5 instead of biweeklies after the big tourney. It would get people to hang out outside of tournies more often (or at all).

 

[Jeyt]

a straw!!!!!!

BAHahaha! But seriously what's wrong with staws???


Anyways. Sounds like triweeklies could work. Meet more often, but not too often. For people that would need to get work off. It doesn't sound like your asking for it too often.

 

[Takalth]

If we make the move to triweeklies, we need to make sure that at least some of our smashfests are formally announced and advertised. Otherwise, the increased price tag will make it harder to gather new recruits. Even I probably will only show up for singles most of the time if the entry fee goes up.

I was just thinking about this and I am really going to be needing a job if the admission fee goes up...XP

------------------------------------------------------------
I probably need some help on gaining experience before I go on tournys...
Is anyone willing to come over and help me understand these tournys?
The real reason I am asking for help is that I don't flat out become last place in my first tourny XP XP XP

Anyway is the place for the next tourny (March 10th) decided or it still being discussed?...

As long as you live reasonably close, I"m willing. Saturday will probably work as long as I know in advance. Let me know where you live (I'm in Draper), and we can try to figure something out.

For future reference, though, planning informal smash is more of a Utah thread subject than a biweeklies

EDIT: Fixed the quote so it displays correctly

 

[Pustulio]

Does anyone know where the March 10th one is being held? I really would like to know but, I need to know where it is. Those of you looking at my location wondering why I'm wanting to go to Utah tournaments, it's because even my grandma's house in Spanish Fork is closer than the nearest town here, I wish Evanston was Utah because then our football trips wouldn't be so long. Anyways I'll check back in when you guys figure it out. Sorry if someone already has it figured out I just read the last two pages and I'm a bit confused.

it is at Foxhestampede's house. Pm him for directions. and if your coming form out of satte would you like the price to be raised?

 

[FoxTheStampede]

Location for next weekend added to first post

 

[Takalth]

and if your coming form out of satte would you like the price to be raised?

I don't quite get this. Idaho was told that they'd probably be better off not coming since the low entry fee meant that even winning, they would still probably lose money on the trip. From my understanding, that message was given because the biweeklies were supposed to be cheap to help encourage attendance of the people who are unlikely to win and make it more new-recruit friendly.

Don't get me wrong, I want to see OOS smashers coming, too, but earlier discussion indicated that the biweeklies would be aimed entirely at in-state people, and while OOS people would be welcome, we would not cater to them. If this has changed, then I think Idaho with it's 2-4 people should have already raised the price.

 

[BattleChrist]

Hey Phil mike and are coming to this next one almost for sure so could we stay at your house

Also are PC and Rafa going to this one

 

[Junpappy]

If Ultimate Showdown gets moved back are we going to switch over to the triweekly system or keep the biweekly system until after Ultimate Showdown?

 

[BattleChrist]

Or could we maybe stay at your house RagingAsian on friday night

 

[Junpappy]

Hmm...maybe. I'd have to ask my roommates first and you guys would have to bring your own blankets.

 

[lengeta]

I'd invite you guys to stay down here, but it's another 40min out of the way. Still, if you need it, my floor's open.

 

[BattleChrist]

we could bring our own things if its cool with your roommates

 

[Cdbobo]

Leng, are you carpooling up to this one? If so, Ill talk to my friends down here and see if theyre up for it

 

[Junpappy]

How many people would you be bringing Ryan?

 

[Yamer]

So far it is just be me and ryan.

 

[lengeta]

Leng, are you carpooling up to this one? If so, Ill talk to my friends down here and see if theyre up for it

Well... there's a tournament I want to go to up in Sandy, and the only mode of transportation I have is a mini-van...

Lol, yeah, I can take you guys, but only with the addition of one rule: I pick you all up at your place and drop you all of there, OR your all at my place by... let's say 11am, and I just drop you off back at my place. ^_^ I just don't want to drive around for another hour picking up/dropping off people, but I'm totally cool with giving you guys a ride.





BC/Yamer: PMed.

 

[laozy]

So far it is just be me and ryan.

holy crap i've been busy. yea u guys could stay with me for friday night. just bring ur own pillows and stuff. pm me for my address.

 

[Jeyt]

Hey guys. I'm down a ride. If someone could pick me up, that'd be amazing. I'll supply gas money.

PM me if you would be willing to.

 

[Junpappy]

Ugh....you're such a *******.

I'll pick you up if no one that lives closer to you can do it.

 

[lengeta]

Bobo, you still planning on riding with me? Give me a call sometime before 11am.

 

[Pustulio]

Well that was my first tournament and I must say I learned a ton! I had a lot of fun!

One thing about the next one, that's the week of my spring break and I'll be in Spanish Fork so if possible could we get the tourney in Orem, Payson or Provo? Those places are real close to Spanish Fork so It'd really be appreciated. I can probably get Lange down there too. I might still be able to make it if it's in Salt Lake but, if at all possible the before mentioned places would be convienient.

I'll be practicing my Yoshi so watch out guys!

 

[BattleChrist]

Are you one of the two who left early for a movie?

 

[Takalth]

Results? I had to leave early, but I want to see how the matchups went.
