We need to make SSB64 mainstream!

[SheerMadness]

Now that ssb64 is on the Virtual Console I see no reason for there not to be ssb64 tourneys all over the country. Even if they're only side events for melee/brawl tourneys.

As the ssb64 community, we need to make this happen. This is our chance. Start convincing your local tournament organizers to start holding ssb64 tourneys.

Goal: SSB64 as an event at Pound 5. Let's get this **** done.

 

[asianaussie]

You know, if we get a backroom, it'll make the game seem so much more serious. Can we work on that?

 

[ballin4life]

Backroom is a dumb idea. Why fragment a small community? It isn't that hard to ignore trolls and whatever

 

[SilentSlayers]

Backroom seems like a good idea and a bad... heh.

 

[HoN3Y64]

we'll get b& request on every char capable of 0-to-death or 0% gimp

Tell them to just play the game.

 

[lordvaati]

too right, this is.

now I need to steal this one kid's N64 and I'll get back to you on this, since I'm trying to arrange a tounament involving fighting games.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

the main thing we need is character specific chats.

 

[Lawrencelot]

The main thing we need is a section above random games and just below melee on this forum

 

[Wal-Marth]

I know how to make this happen. I will make a hack of the game called ssb64+, it will include prolonged hitstun, mawr combo potential, rebalancing, power up DI, wavedashing, Marth and Shiek. All the Melee players will be all over it. To attract the Brawl players I will make ssb64- . it will include prolonged hitstun, mawr combo potential, rebalancing, power up DI, wavedashing, Marth, Shiek, and Lucario.

how do u plan on doing all that?

 

[Thino]

needs serious talk to admins about it

 

[smakis]

we went from organising tourneys to discussing subforums awfully fast didnt we? we already had a thread about that, revive that one instead ^^

 

[Xivii]

Site reconstruction is supposed to go on eventually. If anyone hasn't already taken the survey, you should do so: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=258029. Just don't go bombarding the thread like with the combo video thread lol >____> .

This.

I don't care if it's a one or two forum section. The current setup is stupid

 

[P D]

lold at ssb64 hype

 

[B Link]

when I first went to this site, I was like "huh where's the 64 section?" then I saw it all the way at the bottom and was like "ah it looks dead, forget it"

well I joined eventually after a long time but you get the point

 

[t!MmY]

I'm a TO in my area and I've added SSB alongside SSBM to my Brawl tournaments. I'm getting positive responses and more entrances than I expected. SSB can only grow in popularity from this point on.

 

[H0lyQuebec]

hey guys, it's a game. just play it. its kinda.. more simple...
no need to ''plz moar section, tourney, backroom, smash ambassador, tostitos, salsa and the president''

There are brawl tournaments

It's a game. The more players, the better. Making this board serious and visible helps with that.

I made a thread sheer, but hey, it's something

long EDIT:

I know, when I signed up I didn't even know there was a 64 section because it was so obscure and hidden. Then again, I wasn't interested in 64 but more in Melee.

 

[SheerMadness]

Im doing my part. FL's next 2 brawl and melee tourneys are prolly gonna have a ssb64 tourney.

 

[Mr. Rogu]

im attempting to get more ssb64 tourneys whenever my friends and i host tournaments

 

[jiggssmash64]

I wish... It's so much better than Brawl its ridiculous

 

[Darth Rancorous]

another thing that would help the ssb64 community grow is good players actually attending the tournaments. its one thing to set up the tournament and its another to have people show up and rep it. ive been trying my best to make it to as many ssb64 tournies as possible. i also try to be friendly towards people that seem interested in playin it so they can get into it. if were being a-holes theyre not gonna wanna play with us

 

[Sensei]

Good players will only travel long distances to tournaments when there is a strong enough incentive. For many players, that is money. Especially when the player is not that wealthy. Some players might be happy enough when they break-even where the payout was enough to cover for transportation, housing, etc. Others want to make a profit. There are some players that travel for the love of the game and the community, but there are not enough players like that, and trying to convince them is a lackluster attempt especially when they are not rich.

Add on to the fact, that there is a historical evidence that SSB64 tournies have had less than satisfactory turnout to generate a decent payout. There have been some few exceptions such as the FC6 and FCD side tournaments where there were about 32 and 64 entrants respectively. That was only because the tournament had a big turnout for Melee already and the entrance fee was a small nominal fee or already included with the rest of tournament. Some of my local tournaments have had around 10-16 on average and had around 32 at Smashtality 3, which was mainly a Melee tournament.

Maybe if the great and wise pioneer SheerMadness generates enough popularity at his FL tournies, this game will once again live the golden era. I think the only way I would travel across the country just for a SSB tournament is if the payout for first was around $500-$1000 depending on how much my expenses will be. I wish you luck SheerMaximus.

 

[killa k]

I've been getting some players in NYC interested in smash64 by bringing my n64 to smashfests and stuff lol.

 

[SheerMadness]

I brought my n64 to a tourney yesterday and got some people to play. It was a 45 person melee tourney with pools though so there wasn't time to run a ssb64 tourney since melee didn't end until like 1:30 am.

 

[Darth Rancorous]

yeah, i guess ur right sensei. for me, i just love to play, especially new people. so i go to tournies for that and not for the money because i know i wont win it anyways

 

[ballin4life]

^^ Indeed. CGC is 4 bucks lol

 

[srbsburrito]

funny. ppl around my area seem to love playing smash64. there seems to be a pretty active smash community here. And Two Extraordinary players as well...

I really hope this gets off the ground. 64 was the game for comboing and I really miss that. There aren't a million matchups to worry about either.

I'm bringing a 64 setup to my gig this week. The whole competitive gaming world evolved from casual play, so I think that's a good place to start for most people.

 

[Red the Ghost]

I don't like 64 VC. I can't play on a Cube controller. It confuses my Melee tech skill.

 

[UnholyWeapon]

I'd travel just to meet people and play SSb64. If there ever is a tourney let me know. This sounds interesting and fun.

 

[ballin4life]

Come to California

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

come to canada

Here's an idea, it's impractical as hell, but maybe that ssb64 community should set aside some week out of the year to take off of work, school etc. and meet in some part of the country. That way everyone meets eachother and can have 6-7 tournaments all in one trip. Like I said, it's impractical as hell, but it'd be kind of cool and a good excuse to go wherever for a week.

 

[asianaussie]

You realise there are communities outside the states, right...?

We in Australia are promoting the game quite successfully. Our server's been established as one of the biggest servers in the world in a matter of weeks. Many thanks to firo on that count, in case james hasn't already thanked him enough.

 

[Battlecow]

Australia doesn't count. Get a population bigger than that of a major city and we'll talk about it.

edit: SAME GOES TO YOU, CANADA!

double edit: I just looked at a globe, and it turns out you guys are right next to north america, so you're cool. never mind.

triple edit: double edit was a joke.
