[JonaDiaper]

well im going. anyone else? i don wanna be alone.....

 

[Nintendude]

I'm considering coming if it is on the 31st, but the rules are kind of iffy. Why not just use standard tourney rules?

 

[phish-it]

I might be able to come on the 31st. But those are some strange rules there.

Honestly, how is Rainbow Cruise considered a 'BS' level while Port Town, Pictochat and Pirate Ship aren't? Atleast Rainbow Crusie doesn't Kick your *** like those stages.

Also isn't 6 stock a little too much for a match? That is, unless you want to finish on time...

 

[HOHO420]

We can make it standard tourney rules. These were my friends rules. And those levels were his idea, I'll change it though if people complain.

 

[Nintendude]

Yeah, please change it to the standards, and make it 3-stock. I'm not necessarily able to go but good rules would give me more motivation to get the day off.

 

[SkYHiGh]

oh what?! Nice. I would go but this weekend I am working nonstop I can't make it. If it was the 31st I wouldn't make it either 21st bday is monday will be gone the entire week haha.

If you're doin another one I'd gladly come down. I go to school in pleasantville and I know 1 or 2 people in my area who play.

 

[JonaDiaper]

yo HOHO, ive been tryin to get at you on aim, but you never on. if you need someone for early set-up, im in no doubt. hit me up whenever 914-879-0324, thats my cell. ill be glad to help for anything, i just wanna eat at biltmore first haha. iight man dont hesitate to call me, i wanna play some melee too like i told you before. iight bro peace

 

[NéNé]

hey i live in chappaqua and a friend and I would definitely come if its on the 31st!! also change to standard rules please!

 

[HOHO420]

Yeah, i'l change the rules if people dont like them. And yeah were gonna have more tournies in the future. So far its jus today n next saturday. But there will be one in early june as well. If alot of people come then we could hold one every saturday and the prizes will be much better.

 

[Nintendude]

Dang if I come to this on the 31st I'll be around 2 hours late. That should make me in time for either singles or doubles though, right? Can you post a tentative schedule soon?

 

[Bubbles]

may i smoke cheeba in this shack if i come Mr.420

 

[HOHO420]

O f course bubbles. We actually had alot yesterday but not many people came. So if i dont have at least 25 people coming, then idk if the tourney is gonna happen. But yeah, if you want to bring mary jane, your more than welcomed too. XD.

 

[Nintendude]

A lot more people would show interest if the tournament was promoted properly, aka better ruleset (and more details) in the first post and also maybe an alternate thread in the Atlantic North board.

 

[otg]

Will there be any Melee at all? Or is this Brawl only?

 

[JonaDiaper]

we played melee when i went. theres probably gonna be melee again. i need someone to challenge my falcon please. =P

 

[Wario4Ever]

I might come over. According to map quest u guys r only 16 minutes away from where I live

If it's on the 31st that would be better

 

[otg]

Alright, well if there's Melee I'm bringing my crew.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

i am trying to map quest were it is to see if it is close enough for me to come to but i don't seem to be able to find it.

can you tell me the street,city,and zip code so i can see just how far it is. thank you

 

[GodheadsLamentX]

Sounds good. About icies though.. is Dthrow Fair gimp essentially banned for the Brawl tourny? it can be chained into easily up to 40% and is insanely easy.

 

[HOHO420]

Yeah there'll be some melee. Sorry I haven't gotten to change the rules or include more details. I've been busy lately. Hopefully I'll try and get it done tomorrow. OTG you go to Purchase? I hate purchase cops, they busted us when we're chilling in the parking lot. I'll try to organize everything as soon as possible guys.

Sorry N.A.G.A.C.E, the town is Rye Brook, which is like a block away from Port Chester. And that block so happens to be my friends house. So its 8 Hawthorne Place, Rye Brook. Sorry for that mistake.

And as for the icies chain gab, its arguable. I'm going to run a few test and find out if it should be banned.

Jona, your alright in melee. Your falcon is beast, but thats it. You kinda suck with the other characters, especially mewtwo. I think we need a rematch, your falcon versus my ganon and mewtwo.

Some of the Purchase cops are ok, it's the Harrison cops you need to watch out for. Do you go to Purchase? Where is this located in comparison to the Port Chester train station?

Also, for the Brawl tourney are ALL chaingrabs banned or just Icies? I dont see how you could ban chaingrabbing when it's so important for a few characters (Falco, DDD). It essentially destroys certain characters chances at victory. I understand you would want to ban wobbling and anything unfair but this seems too far.

 

[HOHO420]

Falco and DDD are great without the chain grabs, it doesn't really destroy the chances of them winning. Its also pretty unfair for the dk mains to fight a chain grabbing DDD. If anything, we'll allow one chain grab per player. Oh and the Harrison cops are *******s, but we never seem to be bothered by them. Its the Purchase cops that took our booze and pot. *******s.

And purchase is right next to port chester. Maybe like 15 minutes or so. If anything I can pick you up if your at purchase. Just tell me when.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

chaingrabs are not the problem infinite grabs are what i think you mean to ban, chaingrabs after a certain dmg you can di out of chaingarbs but like the name says infinite grabs can go on forever no matter the dmg

i am not sure if i will/can come since this week i am looking for a summer job
also how many people do you think will come?

Yeah, the DDD infinite is hard to do consistently and only works on a few characters, and Falco's only works on a few characters to certain percents. They are escapable and to ban them limits an already very limited game in terms of approach and skill. Just my two cents though.

 

[HOHO420]

Alright, Infinite grab banned. Chain grabs in.

 

[TDAP]

Yeah I wuz dere on da 24th beatin Hoho's *** wit DK. Everybody try to come yo I'm so eager to play.

 

[HOHO420]

But who beat you with samus? Exactly, I thought so. BEAT YOUR ASSS1!! Besides, i was mad high so i couldn't play so well. And i beat you with sonic.

 

[JonaDiaper]

yo jose, i think we need to make it melee/brawl. if the guy that said hes bringing his crew brings his crew, and there good at melee, there gonna wanna play melee. i prefer melee over brawl anyday. one tv melee, one brawl. i think that would make it awesome.

 

[NéNé]

ok i just want something clarified. A bunch of people are saying they want to play melee and im not against that its just that if me and my friend come we're there for brawl and i don't want the tourny to get lengthened or slowed because between matches people are playing melee. Also its going to be $10 for singles and $10 each for doubles right?

Oh and about the chain grabbing, it should be legal. some characters need it and it isn't inescapable. the infinites are bull but they do exist and i have mixed feelings about banning them. Infinite grabs do require timing and practice and to be a proficient grabber with the I.C. takes practice. They may make certain characters overpowered but certain characters are cheap with no practice. banning chain grabbing would be like telling a metaknight player that up-b's for finishing, d-smashes, and neutral airs are banned and if they do one they forfeit the match. None of my characters chain grab (i think lol) infinite grab or are metaknight so it doesn't really affect me. but its just my two cents

woo smash tourny near chapp!

 

[otg]

Well.... if you want to talk about semantics, chances are both Melee tournaments will take less time than the Brawl tournaments... just because of how long Brawl rounds last. I can bring a TV and a gamecube as well if your afraid of not having enough tiem.

 

[Nintendude]

Please do not ban chaingrabs or the infinite grab combos. They should be fine as long as they aren't used to stall. Banning them makes the tournament look extremely scrubby. Look what happened in Texas....

 

[HOHO420]

True, as long as they don't stall the match, then go for it. But don't do it often. As for this Saturday idk if its gonna happen kuz I have to go Jersey. Its postponed til the 7th or 14th. Or it can be both dates, I'm not gonna be busy those two days. You guys decide which date benefits you the most.

I'm really busy right now but I'm trying to get back and post the rules. Because of the tourney being postponed, anyone that arrives early gets half off. It's gonna be at 4 pm. We can change the time to if anyone has problems with it. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but family comes first and then brawl. Oh, and we need 25 people coming at least so the pot can get bigger. Tonight I'm going to my friends house and will discuss the rules there and I'll post it here. As for melee, If you guys want, after the brawl tourney we can have a melee tourney or friendlies.

 

[phish-it]

Hmmm, well the 7th there Esticle in CT. I'm pretty sure we'd be able to show up the 14th if you can hold it then though.

 

[NéNé]

im not worried I just want to know what the specifics of this tournament will be. time, schedule, fees, prizes etc

 

[Nintendude]

If it's on the 14th at 4 PM, I'm definitely coming. I'm going to esticle on the 7th, and I get out of work at 3:30.

 

[HOHO420]

Yeah I forgot about esticle, I might just go to that to pay P.C. a visit. Also, post if your coming because we need 25 people minimum in order for everyone to get better prizes.

 

[Dark.Pch]

This somehow caught my attention. High chance that I can go to this. Just need directions and its a done deal

Also I may wanna do teams if I cant get my friend to go. So anyone one wanna team with a Peach?

If we're talking Melee, I'd be down to try teaming with peach, but that also depends on whether or not my friend comes. Still we could try some friendlies, I main multiple characters so I'm flexible.

 

[Dark.Pch]

Well I am doing teams and singles for brawl. That was my plan
