Utah Thread - Dead thread is dead

[Mr. Fox]

I've been thinking about this...
that was a totally illegitimate scrub fest 2014; we can do better

I'm calling out @ Superw0rri0 @ Pumpinz @nqztv @ net1234 @Shylock @Skull Kid and others who qualify; One of us is the best scrub, its time to find out who.

I propose a side tourney at Neumont- The Unofficial Official Scrubfest: 2014

I was thinking we could do a round robin but I may have underestimated the number of new melee players we have. $5 entry with winner takes all but the real thing at stake here is pride.

Who's down?

Yo do I qualify for this? My first legit Melee tourney was Encounter 1.

Also, @ all those who keep claiming Pokemon characters, you're just gonna be using your tag lol

Have attended 2 tournies and been playing competitively less than a year will qualify you. If anyone has concerns about the skill level of attendees we can group vote.

I want in

I feel like you're just a lil outside the spirit of this competition, being involved in the smash scene in general for longer. But I'll get a group consensus.

 

[Sinz]

I feel like the gym leaders should be attractive ladies

 

[Death Arcana]

Just went to my 2nd tourney and I've been playing melee for less than 5 months

and I still don't know how to wavedash

jiggs doesn't need wavedashing

Lemme get my miniskirt. I'm sure you'll find me plenty attractive.

 

[RVKYS]

i'm most definitely a scrub. and will most definitely be at neumont to contribute to the pot. and get ***** in friendlies.

 

[Zaku]

Well, I'm definitely a scrub, but I'm not sure if I meet the requirements. Also, I kinda forgot to save at least 5 bucks for for Jam. I can always play friendlies though.

@Tomacawk You better fricken be there!

 

[Ken Neth]

I most likely won't be able to make it this saturday.

To kind of explain where I'm wanting to go with this:

I'm aiming to provide-
1. An extra competition for Utah's higher level players to rank themselves in.
2. Encouragement to Utah's lower level players to improve and socialize with the veterans.
3. A fun and unique way of doing these.

The structure as seen in my mind is like this:

We'll start with the results from Salt Fest. Since we don't have an awful lot to go off from the get go, we'll simply let the bracket/pool results speak for themselves. Highest placing Utahn in a game will instantly be the Champion of the League. Next two players will be the Elite 2. The next four will be the Gym Leaders. Now, before you start biting my head off about the inaccurate number of posts for each rank, just know that there probably won't be enough solid players in the beginning to fill all eight Leaders and all four Elites. Thus, we're starting with less. After we get the system going, we'll allow Gym Leaders to fight up the ranks and gain higher positions, or even regular challengers. The details still need to be worked out.

Each Leader must play one set character in all their challenges, and must choose one stage that they'll play on. Make it relevant in some way. For example, Ganondorf on Temple. The stage doesn't have to be legal. The whole point is to provide a fun and unique challenge. They may also choose one wildcard rule. This could range from changing the damage ratio to 2.0, to turning on bob-ombs on very high, to setting the clock at 1:00 time match. This is what really sets the tone for your specific Gym. Elite Four are exactly the same, but are more difficult opponents, and if you lose to any of them, you must restart from the first one.

The Champion is something I haven't really decided on. I'm definitely on the fence with this one, and I'd appreciate input.

After a challenger defeats all eight Gyms as well as the Elite Four and Champion, their name is put in the Utah Hall of Fame. Yay.

Alright so thanks for reading all this (assuming you actually did) and please please please give me your thoughts.

I like the ideas you have for this. I'd just say that the special rules/stages can't be too far out there. While it would make it cool and unique for each leader, it should still hold an actual competitive atmosphere. Only going off Salt Fest results won't be the best either. There were top players who weren't there/bracket *****/etc. It would be better to just get a general consensus from the top players and then settle discrepancies/disputes with recent results, not solely salt fest.

Who's down?

I don't play melee, I call in.

 

[Mr. Fox]

@ Ken Neth Yeah I see what you're saying. I was just concerned because it would be a lot more complicated to do all that considering that anyone can challenge a Leader for his spot once they've reached a certain point, so I figured we'd get it pretty solidified after a month or so. But if you guys want a vote, I'm down for it. However, we still need to take Salt Fest results into account, it is a good way to measure the differences in skill level.

 

[net1234]

@ BillNyeTheSamusGuy Ur just mad that @ socandrewcer will **** ur samus. he's a total scrub i say everyone worse than ds4 is a scrub. i decree he shall be allowed.

Edit: How about everyone worse than me can enter. $$$dolladollabillsyo$$$

 

[Mr. Fox]

@ Ken Neth Also, regarding your concern over rules and stages: I understand where you're coming from, and trust me, I thought about this. I'm the most conservative ruleset smasher you'll ever meet. I believe that Brawl should only have Smashville, FD, and Battlefield, for example. No counterpicks. However, you have to realize that this isn't the same competition, and perfect balance isn't exactly what we're going for. We're going for small scale competitive immersion for the newer players. Something that may be a little more to their style they used to play with their friends. Obviously, if it was balanced, the noobs probably would take forever just to beat one Leader. But with the odd rulesets, it makes it more fun as well as taking away the experience advantage that veteran players have. Besides, it still takes skill. When the west coast played with all items on, there were still players who dominated to an extent, such as Recipherus. Just my two cents though.

 

[Zaku]

I'll pay for you

Fine by me. I'll pay you back later.

I don't know what happened though. I had money, then I watched some Mario Kart 8 gameplay, and then I didn't have any more money. Weird.

alright alright, its good

no

no

Last time I ever give you a ride

 

[Ken Neth]

@ Mr. Fox I didn't mean that there can't be any non-tourney rules, I'm just saying we can't let it get too crazy. I'm cool if someone wants an item, or some non-legal stage or whatever. However, I think there should be a limit to how crazy they can be. Like I think we should ban stages like 75 m and new pork city for example. Basically, Im down for weird rules but I think there should be a way of deciding if it's too much.

A win wouldn't be too rewarding if it came down to purely the janky rule.

How about this? Your rules must be approved in a democratic fashion by the Elite Four and Champion. If 3/5 agree to it, you're good to go. Also, I'm currently in the works of creating a site to keep track of all this. The initial rules regarding rulesets will be there.

 

[Ken Neth]

That works for me

 

[Tuesday]

Scrub tournaments at every event. Winner gets to challenge a top 5 player who cannot use main or any known alternates. Until you win, you have to use the tag "SCRUB" on your character unless you're playing another scrub in a scrub match. Higher level players may bet on scrub matches like people do in **** fights. Scrubs may not participate in gambling because they are babbies.

Once you win a scrub tournament and beat a top 5's garbo char, you will cease to be a scrub.

Edit: Im after u @Tomacawk 's G&W

 

[Tuesday]

I can't believe they censored "****;" I was talking about the rooster.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH AMIRITE?

 

[Tsuteto]

Alright, lets see if I break anything doing this. I'll also apologize on the team names, as that's ALL I've got, not who's on what team unless that was their name basically. Do note: Yes, bracket can be a bit wonky at times, but I AM learning more and more, and each competition does help with that, so please keep that in mind. Still, really good turn out for this event, and hoping for more and more to happen.

[Tsuteto]

Updated thread title, also put in upcoming events that are related in some way with Smash (usually meaning a set-up going to be there) on the first page. Currently has Utah3DS Streetpass's event and the Sandy Nickelcade Lock-in there. No, I will not update that whenever there is a smashfest. Maybe someone should make a Twitter or something of "@UtahSmashFests" and update that when there's a smash fest. 1-2-3-not-it

[Logos]

I suppose I'll make a new name to suit this the smash name used for the tourney. It was a great tournament, this being my 2nd tournament it has really inspired me to go to more. Unfortunately I only have one friendlies partner to build off of. So I'd like to have more than one person to play. If you remember me feel free to hit me up! It was a pleasure to meet you all. We'll show you next time Idaho.

 

[Superw0rri0]

Well... looking at the results I guess I didn't do too bad..... still didn't reach my goal though.

Also... I got an idea for the scrub fest:
The winner of the Scrub Fest will be given the title of Scrub Lord.

Yo what area are you from/ What game(s) do you play?

 

[Tsuteto]

He's from Bountiful (under his avatar) and you can probably see what he plays from the results list. He's a pretty sick PM player from my experience.

 

[Logos]

Yeah, Project m. Wolf main, check it .
Also I wish I could watch the past broadcasts for our stream. They won't load for me for some reason.

st. george tournament friday june 15th

based on the good turnout at our first smash fest at my house we're expecting even more people

once our scene gains traction down here and our prize pools get bigger will any of you fellas consider traveling to compete later this year?

 

[Sinz]

If you help me pay for gas I'll probably go

 

[Meleeruler]

If I had a ride I'd maybe be down. Also Logos, you only live like 30 minutes from me (since for the Summer I live over in Clinton), so we should definitely smash sometime.

ROFL how did I place 3rd in my pool without even being there? How did I even get entered?
