[VIC] 2011 CouchWarriors - 12th Nov - The Hive, Box Hill

[TidusAni]

when are the monthlies starting again?
im assuming late feb?

 

[Dekar289]

i'm assuming march at the earliest

 

[Robsta]

Vote 1 for the covenant!

 

[Dekar289]

since the idea of disabling tripping is being discussed in the dgh thread, let's discuss the melee side of this sort of idea here.
should we disable the yoshi's story fly guys? randall? pokemon stadium transformations? the wind on dreamland 64? consoles wouldn't be an issue, we have at least 3 capable (myself, timic, redact), so what do you think should be disabled, if anything?

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

I've had them disabled on my wii for about 1.5 years now and nobody's even noticed xD

 

[JoyousOne]

I think we should turn off both Fire and Rock Transformations on PS.

The PS games I played where those transformations came up involved at lot of camping and waiting for the stage to turn back to normal.

Mehzorz, why I can't I talk clearly?

 

[Dekar289]

^ such honour, since these transformations benefit you greatly
and you like bastion! joyous for pr?

 

[Splice]

Joyous almost beat me at melee, I think he got a bad bracket.

He is definitely better than Tak. Joyous for PR +1
I also agree with him, Poke transformations suck, they're worse in Melee than in Brawl (Brawls already a camp fest, it just makes it more interesting when they transform)

 

[Skeletom]

But we should play it how it was made to be played!

but seriously, i wouldn't care if any of those things were disabled or not. it doesn't particularly change anything.

 

[Kier.F]

I remember watching a match where m2k camped randall for a tipper fsmash against amsah on yoshi's using the timer - keep the creative elements in I think.

 

[Kier.F]

Also the lag from hitting a shyguy can aid in other characters recoveries or escaping combo's / chain grabs dont mess wid it!

 

[Timic83]

randall is cool

wind, shyguys and transformations are not

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Monthlies
I want some
I'll even bring myself to one

 

[Attila_]

Cobalt just trained at my gym.

He's massive now.

 

[earla]

got date for march tournament?

 

[jezza_10]

i am also interested when the next tourney will be

 

[Dekar289]

monthlies prob commence either late march or early april
venue, a quick walk from moonee ponds station
just need someone to be the smash head TO
jei..?

 

[ViVa]

new venue is srsly in moonee ponds?

I live so close to that =D

 

[Mota]

I'm a noobie to the competitive scene, so definitely looking to get some experience.

Moonee ponds, awesome

 

[Attila_]

That literally the other side of the world. What was wrong with the hive?

 

[Leisha]

It's a bad spot for me too :/

 

[Mota]

Somewhere in the CBD seems like the "meet me halfway"

 

[Attila_]

CBd venues are really expensive I suppose.

 

[TakFR]

45 minute drive for me :/

 

[Dekar289]

That literally the other side of the world. What was wrong with the hive?

not speaking on behalf of couch warriors here, but the hive was too small
new venue is more central too ofc
think john curtin but bigger and better

 

[Splice]

if timics mum is happy to give me a lift...

...Then you can host the tournament in Greenland. I don't really mind.

 

[Jei Jei]

Shall I make a new thread?

 

[Leisha]

Probably for the best if we're not using CW anymore.

 

[Dekar289]

we probably are... but mabes make a new one anyway yeyhz
* when we know the date of the first monthly

 

[CAOTIC]

So it seems like Redact as quietly stepped down as the main TO, or have I missed a critical post? Also, Jei are you taking over the reigns now?

 

[Jei Jei]

I don't think there was a post about Redact stepping down...

Yeah it appears that I will be taking over as head Smash TO and we will still be running with CW however I'm not really keen to be affiliated with CW further than just running tournaments on the day.
I'll leave that stuff to Dekar if he wants it.

 

[Dekar289]

redact didn't quietly step down so much as he cut off all contact with couch warriors.
after he refused to contact cw and/or jei to arrange for someone else to take over, i stepped in to save the scene oh my god i'm awesome

i for one welcome our new jei overlord

new venue info after insepection on saturday

 

[CAOTIC]

ah, sweet, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Jei Jei]

Oh I should probably mention that the TVs at the Hive need to be picked up within the next week or they will be thrown out.
I was going to ask Redact if he could arrange something seeing as though he lives the closest but I wasn't aware that he has cut all contact from CW.

Is there anyone that can pick up the TVs and store them until the first 2012 tournament? I hear the venue will store our TVs there...

 

[Leisha]

I would help out, but I cant drive :x

 

[Robsta]

Is the new tournaments seriously gonna be in Moonee Ponds???

I ****ing live there

Can't wait to not have to drive an hour to get to the monthlies!!

 

[TidusAni]

i agree with robsta, will take me like 10minutes instead of an hour.

Id also be happy to help setup/run things at the venue

-To all the people saying that moonee ponds is too far, some of us had to drive an hour to get to the hive, now its your turn

 

[Leisha]

It takes me an hour to get anywhere remotely close to the city. Have to get 2 trains to get to whereever this spot is. Yeah... no thanks. Better venue plz

 

[Jei Jei]

You have to get two trains to get anywhere though, what's the difference?

 

[Robsta]

Moonee Ponds will be dope

I can bring two tvs that way and help setup/packup without being restricted by time
