I love that the matches are one stock.

 

[socandrewcer]

I think we should try it out at the next tourney

I really do think it puts the hype through the roof. I actually like watching Brawl matches this way. Every hit matters.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

It's a good time to be a smash fan.

I really think it makes round robin pools more effective in time and it can give newer players chances to play more than 2 sets from a regular double elimination tournament

 

[Ken Neth]

I don't like it. Especially if you're trying to keep new players. There were matches that lasted less than 15-20 seconds, mango even beating someone in 10 seconds. If you're a new player and get to play a total of a minute per set, you're not coming back.

 

[socandrewcer]

I agree that is will push away players if it's just a simple double elimination tournament because you can possibly only play 2 people and have hardly any play time.

I think the 1 stock rule set is most effective when the tournament is based on round robin pools which will give players more chances to play more people competitively. I would rather play more people rather than have more time to play.

And if the tournament is round robin, you'll most likely play at least just as much as 2 sets with regular rules.

Since we don't do round robin pool tourney's, I think the new 1 stock rule set will make more round robin pool tourney's happen.

And for spectators, it's simply more fun to watch because it's similar to street fighter

That's where the amateur brackets and other things come in. I think losing one stock is far less a problem than being absolutely obliterated for three stock. I don't think "amount of play time" is the only factor.

 

[adlp]

yo i suggested the one stock brawl matches at neumont and nobody wanted to do it lol

 

[Ken Neth]

There are other reasons I don't agree with one stock, not just that. One stock does not give you enough time to learn an opponent. There is a much lower chance for a change in momentum. One streak of momentum can end the entire match. The options for comebacks are much more limited. One tech error or suicide can end the game completely. etc.

Even from a watching stand point I don't like it at all. The game lasts 20 seconds and then there's a few minutes in between matches. The ratio of watching people play vs waiting for matches just got *****. And the same reasons above apply to watching as well.

 

[Tane]

I agree with Kenny, 1 stock matches is not the way to go. Two stock matches would be better, but I honestly think that Brawl is good the way it is right now.

 

[Ken Neth]

^^

Also, shoutout to RJ for the fest last night. It was sweet. And shoutouts to the melee players for teaching me how to play.

 

[Death Arcana]

Marz and Devon are nubz for not coming tonight.

why would me and marz go out to melee circle jerk fest?
were not gay

 

[Shylock]

But Mars said don't be gay, go to RJ's. My sexuality is so confused right now DX

 

[Ken Neth]

There was brawl, scrub

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I think two stock is a good compromise. I just think that three stock was a campaign to make Brawl matches roughly as long and complex as Melee matches. The problem is that even those three stock matches tend to take longer than Melee four stock matches, and they involve a lot more camping. Again, with the one stock matches going on in the streams, the game is actually interesting. I'm not just saying they're fun to watch (they certainly are); I'm saying that each decision has much more impact. The meta game is crazy with one stock.

one stock is garbage
2 stock or bust

 

[adlp]

maybe 2 stock 4 minute bo3's are the way to go? idk

 

[Death Arcana]

no thats a step in the wrong direction
4 minute?
you want EVERY single match to go to time?
2 stock with 6-8 minute timer
coming from a TL main

i guess youre right i thought a short timer would push for faster stocks but everyone would still camp it out after a % lead huh

 

[ZerosUT]

2 stock plssssssss

 

[Death Arcana]

Mini fest
Slc

 

[ZerosUT]

So like really, can we try 2 stock sometime in a legitimate tournament setting?

 

[Death Arcana]

[RVKYS]

Anyone playing smash tonight?

I'll see about doing something after Salt Fest, either late May or early June.

 

[Tane]

Anybody wanna play PM tonight? I'm straight fiending for that ****.

Also, have you considered any side tourneys at Salt Fest? I think a $2 entry Duelist Pro side tourney would be hella fun.

 

[Tsuteto]

Side tourneys would have to be entirely done by anyone who wants to do them, with enough of an interest.

On that note, what the hell is Duelist Pro?

Hopefully we can get enough people interested. Last time we played it I think we had at least 6 people interested.

I prefer playing DP with four people instead of 1v1, but you get the idea. http://youtube.com/watch?v=fccJnX0n7yg




ANYONE WANNA PLEH PM

The best way to keep new players coming back is an amateur bracket.

Seriously though, this is something that would definitively help. I forgot who said it but it was mentioned right after fanx that the skill gap is immense. Like me Pumpinz and Net destroyed our pools there and tbh we're not that good relatively.
