All i'm saying is that no matter how many people come in saying they only play melee (and there have been quite a few over the past year or so) there still has only been one or two decent melee tournaments in the past couple years. That's in spite of someone saying almost every tournament that all the melee players need to come cause they're hosting some sort of mini tournament or whatever.
Don't get me wrong, I love melee and will play it when I can. I even hope it gets big. It's just going to be awhile before a brawl-less tournament is going to have any success.

Very true, and while I pretty much NEVER play Melee, it's still a freakin fun game.

so you keep telling us to trust you and you keep making changes about and now you're saying there is no brawl,
not smart, not smart at all
Kay, seeing how its my tourny I'm at liberty to kinda do whatever want. Hell I could make it a Brawl- tourney and be happy with it. If taking brawl out is a problem then dont come simple as that. And for record ive really only made one change and that was to drop Brawl. GG

Brawl is the most popular smash game in Utah, just fyi.

I don't get the fuss. It's the first tourney he's running. I'd rather he start small than take on more than he (or the venue) can handle. He seems pretty confident that his area has more interest in Melee than Brawl, so I think it makes more sense for him to run Melee if he has to choose between the two.

was there going to be a pm tournament, shiro is a co host so id assume there was
but you changed it hmm??? good luck with that tourney anyway though since its going to be so big ur gonna need it

It's his tourney he can run it the way he wants. You can state your opinion/give advice/whatever without being hostile. I personally won't be driving out to a tournament without brawl but I hope you get a good turnout man.

IM SALTY that i lost to your fox at neumont friendlies, lets go
as long as there's melee at the tournament on the 25th i'm going. either way SuppRT you should finalize the info for the tournament, having it constantly change is really confusing and anti-hype
How many Melee/P:M regulars post in this thread?

Who all live in SLC.
Then you've got 5 or so newer players who may or may not show up.
So youre looking at an attendance of around 10 people hopefully if everyone supports and drives an hour.
Good luck. I might come

If I end up going I'd definitely be down for an Iron Man match.

damn i've never actually done an iron man but i'd love to do some high stakes cash battle iron mans
how does character selection work? double blind first character then counter picks for the loser after?
also everybody has valid points about this whole tournament nonsense. my 2 cents is that i've been here for almost a year now and been routinely disappointed with how many new players i've seen show up for 1-2 events and then never again. I think there's been 2-3 tournies that whole time that had entrants in the double digits. as time goes on i'm willing to travel less because i'm constantly shown that it's not worth it to travel to play a bunch of people who may or may not ever play again. it's not necessarily that they can't push me to play my hardest, but that they don't ever think it's realistic for them to be that good. which is hilarious because im not that great, if you didn't know. so it's increasingly harder to travel an hour by car and chip in for gas to go to a tournament with 5 players, 2-3 of them within walking distance/transit from my actual apartment, with a small prize pool, and no hungry newer players to provide meaningful competition. instead we have the same 4 players all just festering around each other with no fresh meat to bring anything new
it's hard to stay optimistic but really at this point few people will be on board until you've taken enough initiative to consistently show yourself as active in the community. can't imagine if i was here for 3-4 years of this cycle
there are some new promising players, don't get me wrong, but they don't compare to the large amount of "one hitter quitters" as they say

Ya it's essentially a crew battle. You have to declare your 5 characters beforehand and first chars are double blind, after that counterpick from your list of 5.
Idc who it's with, but I'll go far for a good game. I'm very serious about improving and getting up to scrap. I've gotten quite a bit better just in the last month.

Where are you located,exactly? Ogden? I don't go back to work until Monday, so we could work something out but I might require transportation from the frontrunner station.

There was at first at the time I was asked. After discussions, we'll bring it for friendlies and that's probably it.
I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience and us being unsure and indecisive. As previously mentioned this is our first tournament so we're still trying to figure out how it's all gonna go down. Thanks for your patience.

My phone isn't currently working, but I'm down for a smashfest tomorrow anywhere from Ogden to SLC. Been practicing a lot of Melee cuz I got a setup for Christmas.
Of course, I'm open for Brawl or P:M as well.

Wow, that's a lot closer than I thought. I should be able to come by for some Melee or PM. Doubt I'll be able to bring a setup this time, though.
To all keeping up with Abbey: She now has a care page set-up, that I will link below. You will need to sign-up, but that will give you up to date information that my mother posts (she is here with me and keeps tabs on all the changes). What can you do to help? Pray, good thoughts, etc. Feel free to ask others to pray as well. I completely believe in praying with specifics, so feel free to pass her name along. I thank you all for what you have done so far, and we're still hoping for the best (she's made a lot of improvements lately).

Hey, not sure how many out there might be interested (I think most of the guys I've met from Utah are Brawl crowd), but we're having a big video game convention/tournament in the beginning of February. Among the games is Melee. (Along with Capcom fighters, Gundam EXVS, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and more)
http://lvlupexpo.org/tournaments/smash-bros-melee/
The venue is the Cashman Convention Center in North Las Vegas, and besides the game tournaments will feature a ton of various tabletop game, video game, and comic booths and exhibitions.
Also, if pre-registering, you can use the promo code LVMVGBC for $10 off a weekend pass (which essentially means free entry for one game tournament), and be entered into a drawing for a hotel room giveaway.
Please come if you're interested and have the time!
