People are reacting emotionally to a name that they've been given a pavlovian association with bad feelings.

His job is to stand on a stage and introduce shit. Geoff's fine for that. If he was on commentary we'd have issues, but instead we have D1, Prog and Scar so it works out great.
This is statistically correct.
How many people do you see carrying around Wii U's? /s

I mean... They did. I think that was kinda the point. They know they're nerds.
I think he'll be fine. He has a good voice and just has to announce stuff before matches probably.

Nope.
Surprise announcement: Except the finals, the entire tournament is on pokefloats.

Awh, Yoshi's Story reveal would be the best really.
Also, I'm not expecting anyone to pick Sonic, Samus, Olimar, or Zelda, if I had to guess.

Finals stage changed to New Pork City
It is the most neutral stage in smash.
Contrary to popular belief FD is highly unbalanced in Melee and kind of unbalanced in Brawl. Players use it as a counterpick to swing the match to their favor. I am glad that they went with a more neutral and fair stage. I bet they went with FD first but most of the players suggested Battlefield instead.
LOL sorry is he from IGN or something?
So like usual people don't think he will make it and complain, ok I got that.
In the end we only have those 2 guys bringing the hype, sounds interesting
EDIT: that video is amazing! lol

battlefield is much better anyways.

I'd be okay with that. Best stage from Brawl
Because of this song:

Some characters get screwed over badly on FD.
No additional platforms means there are fewer mobility options, especially for slower and ground-oriented characters.
I'm ok with that, too!

I so hope D1 calls out all the banned stages on stream. Just puts the whole game on blast the whole time. :lol
"BANNED!" *prog buries head in hands*
Fair enough.
I play Smash for fun, so my tournament knowledge isn't quite up there.

Please don't be rude about the personal appearances of real human beings.
Apologies. I didn't mean it to be rude.
Just playing around, but sorry about that and those I offended.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, it's only in Brawl where there was discussion to move FD to counterpick status

Oh, All time favorites now? This will consist mostly of Brawl stages since I've only played 64 and Brawl and I haven't played 64 since the 90s.

I hope they bring back custom stages. I got addicted to making them in Brawl.

YISS!
HOLY~!! I have four, all perfectly working, Gamecube controllers, and zero WiiU Pro controllers, so this would be a godsend! I wonder if it can be used with other games? At the very least I'm hoping it allows for GC controllers on the Wii games that support it, but I wonder if there's a chance they will partially emulate other controllers for Wii U games... although I'm not sure if any Wii U control options are a good match.
Same, I meant no disrespect. All I meant was that in a lot of esports, things are attempted to emulate what they do for pro sports, like boxing, and I think it feels a bit... off? No disrespect to actual appearance from any of the competitors, just rather with how they are presented.
Just some additions/corrections here on the bolded:
Lilo: Peach, not sure if she has any other characters.
DJNintendo: Also has a Samus, Fox, and Mario (he prominently uses Fox now in tournaments, sometimes pulls out Mario/Samus for doubles or counterpicks)
Toph: Pure Fox main
Peachyhime: Peach main afaik
Hungrybox: Also dabbles with Ness in Melee (tried to use him as a counterpick to Armada's Young Link for Apex 2013 I think lol)
Rapture: Primarily known as a Brawl player, though I don't know who he mains in that game -- in Melee he seems to use Sheik, though.
Zero: He plays Melee, too and mains Fox (go figure, all top tier characters in their respective games lol).
aMSa: Also mains Lucario in Project M
Too lazy to look up matches that showcase each of the players at the moment. I might do that later.

What is your opinion about GameCube Controller Adapter so far? Any concern about input lags or so?
It's USB so it shouldn't have any input lag. I'm not worried about it -- I'm pretty hyped about it. I don't have to use a Wii U Pro controller and relearn what shit does what (and the C-Stick will be in its proper location, below the buttons). I'm happy now, for the most part. Now I have to hope the game plays well, which given who is going to be at the event we will know for sure whether the game is good for people who disliked Brawl.
Also, we'll have to work on that OT for this invitational soon... ;P

Anyone else realize that this means every single Smash Bros game can be played with a GCN controller.
...if we count the VC version of Smash Bros 64 and ignore the 3DS version of Smash 4.

Watching the documentary, and it's driving me wild that it doesn't have text below who's talking to let me know who they are. I don't know who these people are. Please tell me, please remind me, please tell me WHY I should know who they are.

Good to heard about Adapter. Hopefully people would find out more about some moves that would cause randomly tripping. I wonder if they would leave it in or not.
Oh yeah. I forget all about Invitational and Impression Thread. Yikes, I have to start to working on it soon.
that seems about right...

Oh boy, another Smash game, another Gamecube controller. I was really hoping we could move away from it.

Tough to say since they're all randomly selected. At the very least, I hope to see Olimar, Mega Man, and Villager represented.
theprodigy
Member
but the players are choosing their characters in order, that's why we're guessing on who's getting left out
ShockingAlberto
Member
They're not randomly selected, are they?
I thought people picked and that character was blocked off for anyone else to pick. The order of picking is random.

My biggest complaint as well. The documentary was much better the second time watching when I had been watching tournaments long enough to know who everyone in the documentary is. Makes it far better.

Yeah, it's like a Fantasy Football draft but with Smash characters, and only one round. They probably basically just draw straws.

Actually I think the competitors get to draft in random order. Therefore we could make plausible guesses about who doesn't get picked.
