Oh man those stages lol, and a Bo1 set. Hey at least team attack is on!

You and kefit should make 2 separate teams of 1, and go 2v1 the whole tournament. Double your earnings.

The 2v2 lagg is unbearable on Sector Z. You should replace it with like Peaches Castle if your goal is to use joke stages.

 

[Battlecow]

not sure if the charity offsets all the evil done by sector Z

leaning towards no

Bro, team with a level 9 Fox, not go 2v1. Those CPUs never wanna take their earnings for some reasons.

 

[clubbadubba]

Cept they'll probably say lvl 9 cpu's are good, so you have to use a level 6. At which point it'll probably be completely useless except that it might kill you randomly.

There was a SSB64 team tournament charity event at the UW about three years ago. The rules were kookier than this (items on default, team attack off!), and the entire thing was played on super laggy projectors. These new rules seem to be a step in the right direction at least, but I really do hope the laggy projectors issue has been addressed. It's all for charity though, so I don't mind. Except the laggy projectors part. Lag in SSB64 kills babies.

Anyway I'm gonna feel kind of bad about stomping this with Jel haha.

 

[SSB64-Jel]

Teams are now maxed. 48 teams signed up.

 

[KnitePhox]

good luck kefit and jel!


ROFL like you guys need it

 

[SSB64-Jel]

This maybe the biggest team tournament I have ever seen. It suxs that the rules are kinda wack. Still going to have a lot of fun

 

[Kefit]

Ok we won but it wasn't a super stomp fest. I kind of suck at teams lol. And all the hidden good players around here who I haven't seen in a few years came out of the woodwork and showed up at this thing. No, these guys don't have a presence in the online Smash community but they actively play the game to this day so they're pretty decent if not competitive at my level.

Also it was all on laggy projectors. Not as bad as last time, but still ~3 frames of lag.

Anyway I gotta sell these Beats now.

 

[SheerMadness]

The social media era has done greats things for ssb64. Seriously.

A random UW tourney with 48 teams?? Would have never happened without the facebook event.

Some Orlando gaming store that I had never heard of had a ssb64 tourney last month. 30 random people I've never seen showed. A lot of them pretty decent. All thnx to their facebook event.
