PS: And am I allowed to check the "I'm not a robot" checkbox, when a handful of you call me that?

[OkayP.]

Well me and Devon both got out of our pool at Apex and then had to play each other first round after pools in losers.



You're not going to win, everybody knows this. Nobody is getting worked up about anything. We see this scenario a lot... new kid comes into the scene thinking he's really good because he beats all his little brothers and cousins, calls out a veteran blah blah blah, gets bopped and then we never see them again.

allow me to make something clear. i dont have a little brother. or cousins. or really family at all. ok? keep my family out of this. for good.
don't think that i by any means, think im incredible. infact again i state, if pc doesnt beat me. this scene is dumb. but he will. so...
shuty shuty
perhaps, perhaps you can understand my pov differently. im not cocky im confident. and this game, and the kind of people in this thread are the only things i AM confident with. keep your teenage cliquing to yourselves please. id appreciate it, and in all reality, what does it help pickin on the little guy?
so that being said, all im saying, is let them eat cake.

PS: ugh srry i recognize i look like a scrub by not showing up, my parents... are not a fan of the idea of me with college age dudes. the are, nvm that. look ill be at my monthly SAM. any one who wants to do so,please mm there and please come and have a good time.

Where the hell is this coming from?

Mars was making a generalized statement based on what we've seen countless times. :/ Its not like he is saying your family is **** or something. You're reading into things really... oddly.

Have your parents meet Tsuteto.

Not to interrupt this great conversation but where are the Logan homies? I've seen/heard nothing about any activity in Logan, there has to be someone here...

Common mistake, Logan is actually considered to be in a different scene. The shadow realm known as "Idaho"

Thank you all for coming and participating. As there will be no Smasher's Tale next month, I will be doing a Smash Jam at it's new home Kafineio's. Hope to see you all there!

 

[Pyr]

Top 16 for my first Neumont. Really thought I placed worse. This made my day better.

So I can see the results so far, but when is a decision going to be made?

I'll mm you. When is this? And will it be streamed or recorded?

 

[Tsuteto]

I'd like to thank everyone for coming out to Neumont Smash Jam on Saturday. As always, great to have you all, and it was really entertaining with a number of the upsets that happened that day

To clear up one thing before it churns through the rumor mill: After the tournament finished, I have banned both Lada and X from my competitions. They have caused issues in the past, and after listening to them talking about colluding in the bathroom for tournament, that was the straw on the camel's back for me. This was a decision that I tried to be patient with for as long as possible. After hearing that half way through the day, I let them finish their tournament in peace, and then issued the ban to them.

With September coming up, there will also be a few changes. Please note below:

Weeklies: Starting next week, we will be going to a $5 venue, $5 entry structure. This brings us more in line with other weeklies through out, and will increase the overall competition with more on the line.

Wii U Stages: Stage list will be adjusted starting next week. The main change will be the ban of Delfino, Halberd, and Castle Siege. A full rule set will be presented on Monday next week.

Wii U Customs: To align with other major tourneys, we will no longer be using customs as the primary form of competition. Personally sad for them to not be present, but that does not mean they'll never be present. Potentially as a different tourney type down the road.

Smash Jams: The monthly tournament series will be seeing a venue increase to $10. The $5 entry will be the same. This is due to us moving the venue to Kafeneio's, which will allow a true monthly tournament to be had. We will aim for these to be on the fourth Saturday of each month, barring other major events/holidays.

Ultra Street Fighter 4: We will be including USF4 into the Wednesday weeklies and the Smash Jams. I'm not entirely sure as to how it's being handled as of yet, but I will find out. Full launch of this is, again, September. The system will be for the 360. The guys at 801 Utah FGC are awesome. If for some reason you have an issue, let either me, Bryce, or Shane know and we'll take care of it.

Wii U controllers: The only controllers to be allowed are the GameCube or a Wiimote conglomerate of sorts. The Gamepad is completely banned, as well as the Wii U Pro controller. The former has always been banned, and the latter is presenting far too many issues currently. I will ask you to change controllers if I see such. As for the 3DS, I'll allow it, but I will present a caution against it. At SLGC there were issues of it disconnecting in matches. If this were to happen, there is no choice but to give the victory of that match to your opponent. The 3DS will be banned in major tournaments as an FYI.

That is currently all. Thanks for patience in reading this post, and I'll see you all at the weeklies

 

[Atticus_22]

I saw $10 venue and $5 entry thinking it was backwards, actually got excited for a minute. Looks to be quite the contrary. Neumont was the best consistent venue we had. I respectfully disagree with this choice.

X getting banned I very much agree with though.

 

[Tsuteto]

The logistics of Neumont is a huge issue. We often don't get any more than a two weeks notice, have to get certain permissions to have a stream (which often we've had due to luck of draw), plus other minor businessy stuff. Kafeneio's fixes several issues and provides much more flexibility

 

[2 Johns]

Why the hell are we adding street fighter to a weekly that already is way too full with just smashers. Unless you plan on changing the venue I think this decision should be rethought.

 

[Gawain]

I was interested in hearing about Street Fighter until I saw Xbox 360. Not surprised, but darn. Not gonna go buy another stick just for that. SFV is coming out soon. Too bad no one in Utah plays UNIEL

I'm back in Utah so I'll probably start coming back to these now. Probably tomorrow actually. Haven't been in a while.

You can borrow someone's stick, hardly anyone has a stick anyways

 

[Tomacawk]

FYI, the only Smash game with Pichu in it is Melee, so you're contradicting yourself. How can a game that has the best character ever possibly be overrated?
Pfft! You leave us, not post here for months, then magically come back acting like you're still part of our scene by using the pronoun "we" over and over...

my jersey's up on the raptors dog, that **** got retired, along with my shoes still hanging off the power lines near neumont

slc4lyfe

edit: is it raptors or rafters ... raptors is way doper... ah well

 

[Espurr's Eyes]

Right here. Which smash games do you play

Melee and PM. Seriously, hit me up. I've been bored as hell since I moved into town.

 

[SoapSuds]

Didn't realize that was the last neumont. Now I bad for joking about their lateness. Like I tried to **** with their legacy or something.

The venue fee:

Neumont was probably around 13 hours so 13*25 + 20 = 345.
58 people in wii u with a venue fee of 5$ = 290
unique melee entrants is probably something like 20, maybe more. 20*5 = 100
17 people for USF4 17*5 = 85
475$/345

maybe like 4 people to run everything? to pay them for 8 hours you would need another 240$.

IDK DUDES, just trying to figure out why the venue fee would go up.


Also having the weeklies be competitive isn't a priority for me. But I don't really care as I'm scheduled to work wednesdays now anyway.

Do most weeklies have some of the venue fee going to the organizer, like is that just how they do it or what.
Like I know our scene is different because of your investment in setups and stuff but it's only 50$ a month to get keys to the place.

And I know that every time I've gone I've wished there were more melee setups.

Did this guy ever end up doing anything? https://www.reddit.com/r/DC801/comments/2vbxlh/what_is_the_next_step/cohizgn I feel like I remember hearing that the 801 fgc was doing something in 801 as well, was that on a different day and adding USF4 is combining that into one day or what?
