Utah Thread - Dead thread is dead

[Perfect Chaos]

Someone so good, that they ranked twice, I guess... But seriously...is this some sort of joke? I heard Ka-Master was in town. Is the one that's in 1st him or something?

 

[2 Johns]

There was falconmaster2000 and falcomaster2000. Falconmaster2000 is Ka-Master.

 

[Stitch4]

Mfw Rivals of Aether is literally 10x better than smash 4. Wavedashing, dance dashing, no grabs, shields, or ledges, and dope combos. It's fun as hell.

btw for those wondering who Falconmaster2000 or whatever he entered as is, its this dude http://www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Luigi_Ka-master
he's pretty legit

Okay(p) Brothers. Sorry for the time that was put in between SAM 1 and now. I am pleased to announce that SAM 2 is up and running, and will be held October 3 which is a Saturday. We plan on making it a biweekly for the future, but the schedule is not set in stone. As of current we are going to be doing Melee Doubles and Singles. Starting at around 3:00 and going from there.
Again I apologize for the time for this to be planned. Also, I personally apologize for my lack of tourney attendance, its not in my control.Thank you all and i hope to see you there!!

[Perfect Chaos]

I finally broke 8000 on the rankings' score. Only 1000 more to go!
And @Lada is going to get 3rd seed in Melee. Step it up, @Logos.

PS: N nqztv do I have to manually add the last column every time?

 

[OkayP.]

I failed to mention. A complete set up waives venue fee sorry.

 

[nqztv]

PS: N nqztv do I have to manually add the last column every time?

yep, or you could write a script to do it for you :-p.

 

[Perfect Chaos]

Well, it doesn't take that long to add it manually. Just have to copy the text for the first row from the previous tab, then drag to fill in the same formula for the rest. The changing row colors takes longer to do than that.
I was just wondering if it'll be more convenient if it can somehow be incorporated into whatever that you already do when you update it. I noticed that you automatically added it for the one after I initially added it, but then not since then.

 

[Myst0]

SoapSuds Yeah I have been a little out of the smash scene as far as tournaments go I still play locally with some friends but I plan to get back into it in a couple of weeks. When I do attend tournaments its either provo game den melee weeklies or some big tournaments. What about you what stuff do you attend? Might go to sam2 but idk about my schedule yet. But yeah I'm totally down to chill and talk falcon stuff.

Good luck outbeating the biweekly that's happening at Provo Game Den starting the exact same week.

...Whats the point of that statement at all???
"Oh I'm scared?" No? Come to the one you want to guys. Running tournaments isn't a competition. I don't make money on these, and anyone doing these the right way (For the game) shouldn't be either. So go to either one you want, no hard feelings, but everyone who comes to SAM WILL have a good time.

Statement was most likely intended to show you that a guaranteed to be popular weekly was starting on the same schedule as yours, meaning that it'd be better to begin it on another week in the month to maximize attendance for your event.

I know what you mean with "running tournaments isn't a competition," but I still think it's funny that running a competition isn't competitive. Competition is the foundation. XD

And finally, there is nothing inherently wrong with making a bit of a profit from a tournament/weekly/etc. That's a different subject though.

Thank you for clarifying that in a non sarcastic manner

 

[BillNyeTheSamusGuy]

Are you kidding me dude? That's just factually incorrect. Like the opportunity cost for running a smash event is pretty darn high when you have to worry about feeding yourself (which, not to be too exclusive, is a club you don't belong to). We pay Tsuteto to TO because we want to--- not because he's greedy, but because its better to have someone run the scene full time.

 

[OkayP.]

I dont belong to that club no.
Youve met me, and i hope i havent come off as a douche, again. I dont make money off these. Not from running them anyway. Please, That was never intended to say t is greedy at all. I put all the money from sam back into it. By my choice. I dont have to worry about keeping myself alive currently, im 15, please try to understand im not a bad guy.

 

[BillNyeTheSamusGuy]

Man I wrote that comment way more aggressively than I needed to. My apologies. Its all good dude.

 

[adlp]

Okay lemme get this straight P (hEHEHEHE)

what the hell u tryin to do dude why yyou tryin to splinter your scene in the valley it really makes no sense

word of advice: its ok to not be in charge if things are already running relatively well

dont be OkayB (the B stands for Badguy)

 

[Tsuteto]

More could be said, but Pyr sugar coated the ice berg for you. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Remioli]

Hey everyone, announcement time! I really want to help grow the scene and have some great news.

Announcing:

Finest
Ultimate
Colaberative
Killer
Intermountain
Tournament

I'm starting a bi-lunarly tournament series this November.

Every full moon and half moon, there will be a tournament at my aunt's house. Please rsvp so I can tell my aunt how many pizza rolls to prepare.

Her house is in Ephraim, Utah. We really need to grow the scene out there.

5 dollar entry, 30 dollar venue.

Events will be brawl plus doubles, PM 1.37 singles, N64 classic speedrun, NFL blitz (Rams are banned), and Melee low tiers. We have had nothing available for people who want to play in these events and we need to change that.

Hope this doesn't get in the way of anything.

See you guys there!

For NFL blitz 2000 is big head mode the only cheat allowed?

 

[adlp]

infinite turbo or bust

 

[OkayP.]

Okay
1. I'm not changing my name

2. You should all take a step back, and breathe. I'm not asking anything of you. Have i been aggressive in any way. I'm not trying to be in charge of crap. I'm trying to make myself capable of being at these tournaments. Y'all might not remember what it feels like to have your parents over every decision you make. This is the only way i have to be part of the scene at all. Please don't discredit me. I'll prove you wrong.
I'm not aloud to go to anything, I'm only allowed to host these.
I'm doing my best, but y'all aren't allowing a different possibility to open up in Utah.

3. I restate everything about SAM2. Please give us an open mind, we will make it a good time. just, please dont close yourmind to something your not used to.

 

[BillNyeTheSamusGuy]

Have i been aggressive in any way.

You actually tend to sound pretty aggressive. Or maybe defensive is the better descriptor? People tease you but they don't mean you any harm and then you over react when someone says something glib or criticizing.

And criticism hurts, but that doesn't make it untrue. At best you're going to split attendance with your event. At worst its just going to be you and your friends since most people are more familiar with the game den event. Are you on the fb group?

The heyday of the Utah Smash scene was during Brawl; which would have put many of our smashers in high school. So its not like they don't understand. But they did manage to go events too. And I get family dynamics can limit the things you do, but that doesn't change the fact that not going to events is going to make it difficult/impossible to be part of the scene.

 

[bellsworth46]

Okay
Y'all might not remember what it feels like to have your parents over every decision you make. This is the only way i have to be part of the scene at all.

As Bill said, many of us do still remember living with the parents (a number of the people who come out still do). IIRC, you mentioned that your parents don't feel comfortable letting you hang with collage-aged people. If that is true, then I would suggest you trying to get your parents to go to one of the Tuesday game den tournaments. I do believe that a number of people who go to that tournament are around high school age. Also, both Tsuteto and Nqztv are usually there and are two of the best people to have your parents talk with. If they aren't willing to go, see if they would be willing to call or email myself or Tsuteto about their concerns. We both have had plenty of experience talking with other concerned parents about allowing their kids to join in.

We are willing to help you make your event a success; however, it will require some work and consideration from you as well. While, yes, Tsuteto came off as very aggressive there, but I think that it is part of him feeling that it is too much of a hassle to try to talk with you. Many of your responses make it seem like you are offended with what others have told you. Most do not mean to offend and just wish to give you advice. Some are trolling you, yes, but that is due to how you react.

I do not know if I will go to SAM2 as melee is currently not my game, but I am willing to go and have a longer, civilized conversation with you about these issues if you want. I hope the best for your tournament, though I do agree that it may be better to work with the people doing the game den biweekly to offset the tournaments (maybe even flip weeks month to month or something so that the monthlies don't always shut one of you down) rather than just saying "screw it, I'm doing it anyways"

 

[Remioli]

No one is actually mad at you or cares. Run whatever you want whenever you want and have a good time.

Let's all just calm down and remember that @SteamFriedAsian has never beaten me.

Thats what i wish to do. Perhaps, if i plan on that, is there a possibility that language could be, um, clean?
Just for that period of time. And if that were a possibility my chances of being able to participate at many tournaments would increase greatly. I really just want to play the game at tourneys. Thats my wish. And it would only take once.

And dude, your a bro

(And don't take offense to this, as it's only an amusing observation.)

Also, both Tsuteto and Nqztv are usually there and are two of the best people to have your parents talk with.

Unless Tim has one of his "moments"... XD If the parents come, he really needs to keep it in line.
