Utah Thread - Dead thread is dead

[Ken Neth]

Anyone know how I can get in touch with Chris Bennion? I got work tomorrow til 430and I can't get off, I didn't realize the finals were going to be played in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday

If it can't change just let me take your place!

That sucks, sorry to hear that. Hope it all works out.

FWIW, as a noob, the amateur brackets and gym leaders sound fun as ****. I would be so stoked to see both of those implemented. At the two tourneys I've attended, the thing I've wanted to do more than anything is play competitive matches. Money matches can achieve this, but having an organized system to provide more matches in place would be a huge motivation for me to keep coming to tourneys (I'll keep coming anyway).

 

[の 。の Felon]

I can switch back and forth between games using the same characters perfectly fine. You just have to know and be aware of the differences, which I never find to be a problem. I'm trying to main a character that's not in Melee, though, but that's due to another reason. LOL

Maybe someday I'll be that good ha ha, but I'm pretty new to the competitive world of smash (I've only been playing melee for about 2 months) those are the things that helped me though of course the goal is to be as good as you unlikely as it is ha ha.

 

[Remioli]

Damn, mars that blows. but ya, hopefully whoever's fifth will go in your place? Or maybe they'll move it just for you

 

[Rockmix]

Well the tourney was fun and went by smoothly and ended early which was nice. Too bad brawl doubles wasn't there would have been fun.
Also an amateur bracket would be cool to have.

 

[Snuzz]

Somebody already beat you to it

It's quite a few pages back.

Damn, I missed my chance to be the coolest dude on the internet.

yeah, I think the amateur bracket would be really cool. I saw a lot of people discouraged when they were getting 3/4 stocked by people who were outclassing them. A portion of these players probably don't have the resilience to keep coming to events in order to get rekt over and over again.

 

[Roguay]

1. what would be the qualifications to enter amateur bracket?
2. how would the gym battles work (how do they do it in NM)?

i really like the sound of both these ideas, really gives incentive for new players to get involved

 

[BillNyeTheSamusGuy]

I was just talking to Tsuteto about how an article I had found described a method for having an amateur bracket.

http://clashtournaments.com/money-brawl-please-run-amateur-brackets/

This paragraph is probably the most important out of the article:
"In terms of catering to players, running an amateur bracket gives every player potentially four losses to work with. In that respect it guarantees everyone four sets, and any additional sets have to be earned by winning. In a round robin pool, there’s the potential for a new players to come to the event, get stomped seven times, getting discouraged and never coming back. It creates a very happy medium of guaranteed games while maintaining the urgency to win for additional play while avoiding the demoralizing string of possible consecutive losses."

 

[Tsuteto]

If we are too set up amateur brackets though, we would definitely have to give Brawl it's own day. That takes forever to get through, even with how it is right now.

Also... here's a WIP poster:
Just got to get rid of all of the white and everything will blend... then I got to find a better font/look for "Game Guru's Presents:" and finally got to make the lines that cross out "space" seem more natural. Also I should make everything Darker and more blue.

[Tomacawk]

wow that's some expert windows paint [ photoshop? ] work there, almost fooled me. however, I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Hax needs to stop playing Fox. Go back to Captain Falcon.

That is all.

 

[Minato]

I really hope that was Paint and not Photoshop.

 

[Superw0rri0]

It was Paint.net. I don't have photoshop.
Which for those who don't know is a more sophisticated paint.

It's not finished...
I still need to get rid of all the white and crap + more.

i just wanted to show you guys what's in store

 

[Remioli]

Dude, you must have a really nice computer, @ Superw0rri0 . Are you a graphic design major or something?

 

[Superw0rri0]

My laptop is alright... It's not made for gaming but it can run things quite well.... I took a graphic design class in highschool and I made a lot of video projects with Adobe After Effects. My favorite graphics design program is paint

If you want to see other things I've made I got a few things in my photobucke: http://s1213.photobucket.com/user/superworrio/library/?sort=3&page=1
It also has a bunch of random thigns that are either smash related, programming related, and even some stuff from my minecraft days.

I just realized you're joking..... wow I suck at internet sarcasm.....

 

[Tane]

Lol the people on here are ****ing comedians.

 

[Sexy Yaz]

Dekar mentioned something to me about putting 50% of the amateur bracket pot into the pro bracket once we have a solid scene again to encourage the amateurs to improve enough to play in the pro bracket. I like this idea a lot

 

[Remioli]

This one is my favorite.

No way, we 20XX now. Though to be fair he still plays Falcon sometimes.

Holy **** that's insane. What an absurd ending!

Guys I've been practicing PM and I'm getting way better. I'm ****** lvl 5 CPU's almost every game

your squirtle will get there eventually

 

[Remioli]

I don't like it either. That would really frustrate some newer players. Other sports do stuff similar to this, but nowhere near half.

So, finals are today for FanX. Stream will be live at www.twitch.tv/GamersAbbey at 2:00 PM. Tune in, share it (it'll be on the Smashboards main page as well), and all that wonderful stuff! For those attending the con, swing on by and say hello!

I'm sad Captain Falcon hasn't won an APEX or an EVO yet. Peach has won a few! COME ON!

 

[Jekyll]
