My partner may not be able to get the game this week. So just in case, anyone searching for a partner? I may be partnerless. I'm gonna be practicing Raiden/Dante the whole day today. So pm or message me here if you wanna practice!

Choo411, a GAF lurker, messaged me on PSN and asked if he could join the tournament. Are there any kind souls out there who'd be willing to partner with him and help him out?

 

[SmithnCo]

SuperHaterade64 is another lurker that wants to join.

Excellent. Tell him to message Choo411 on PSN so we can set them up as a team.

 

[IntelliHeath]

GAF Lurkers would be perfect name for them

 

[SmithnCo]

Done! Hopefully we can set it up.

Also only two days to cutoff and three to the tourney! Hopefully people get their games by that time.

 

[TWILT]

Would it be alright if I enter with a friend of mine who lurks NeoGAF? Our PSNs are TWILTHERO (me lol) and tirkaro. Team name is to be decided for now lol.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Just a quick reminder to all: registration for the tournament closes in less than 12 hours, so please find a partner if you don't have one yet!

If people would like, we can just randomly pair people on the "looking for a partner" list together, or they can choose to opt out and play with a local friend or something.

 

[Vodh]

We, the magnificent Winter Table Blanket Thingy team (myself, Vodh, PSN: Vodh, and Keiician, PSN: Niiro-Matsuki) want in!

 

[baekshi]

I'll actually be teaming up with SaberWolf00 (not on gaf).

Team Name: SharinganWolf

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Registration is now officially CLOSED! Thanks to all who entered; you can expect a bracket up sometime tomorrow.

[TWILT]

Excitement! Shame DigitalOp and I never managed to get practice time in together, but I'm sure if we believe hard enough everything will be fiiiiine!

 

[TheMink]

Excited!

 

[B.O.O.M]

Oh snap. I better add my partner to psn!

 

[bakedpony]

I was supposed to be his partner but it's okay. Have fun guys!

 

[KevinCow]

My PSN ID is KevinCow, by the way. Forgot to share that part.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I was supposed to be his partner but it's okay. Have fun guys!

Oh jeez; he told me you wouldn't be able to play. If you want to take over for me, I'd be more than happy to step down. It's not fair that you're not able to play when you asked first.

 

[KevinCow]

for the purpose of this tournament all items and stage hazards will be turned off.

Just noticed this.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Just noticed this.

I had complaints. I'm sorry.

 

[KevinCow]

I had complaints. I'm sorry.

Tell me who. I'll kick their asses.

Look, I've accepted defeat on the Smash front. Yes, there's the possibility for a Bob-omb to spawn as you're attacking and kill you, and yes, some stages like to randomly screw you.

But this is a completely different game with completely different rules. From what I can see, items and stage hazards were designed with competitive play in mind. They don't randomly kill you or make one player an unstoppable monster. They just slightly alter the flow of play for a short time. They don't kill, they just take some meter, and stage hazards are usually clearly indicated well ahead of time so they can be easily avoided.

This is your tournament, so your rules. But this is the second tournament for this game I've seen that hasn't even given the items and stage hazards a chance, and I don't like the precedent that this sets. I feel like the default rules should at least be tried before imposing our own rules. If they prove to negatively impact competitive play like in Smash, then I'll concede, but I think it's silly to turn them off immediately based on a completely different game by a completely different developer instead of giving them a chance first.

 

[batmandarkknight]

Scrafty, you wanna do some practice rounds?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Scrafty, you wanna do some practice rounds?

I'm at work for the next 7 hours

When I'm free, I'll message you.

 

[batmandarkknight]

sure thing.

i'll be asleep soon tho. haha. but i'll be awake early. in abooouutttt..9-10hrs.

Not participating in the tournament, but I fully agree with KevinCow. The items and stage hazards are far from overpowered and actually mix the game up a bit without outright deciding it. They make the game more fun, while still retaining the competetive fairness.

 

[SSReborn]

I support hazards and items for the tourney.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Very well. The rules shall be amended. Be sure to read the OP before starting your match, as any game that does not follow the official rules shall not count!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Broronto - AnkiRendan (AnkiRendan) and SSReborn (Klipz-Wish)

when do you want your whuppin ladies!

 

[The Grim Heaper]

wuh oh

the first public smack talk has commenced

 

[IntelliHeath]

Hahaha, What is your avatar coming from?

 

[Noi]

How will we handle stage selection in the tournament? Depending on the characters I play as, there's some stages where I'd rather not play, like the Uncharted stage.

That's up to the host to decide, but I encourage "All random, all fun."

But please guys, don't intentionally screw over the other team by selecting a stage contrary to their playstyle. I'm counting on everyone to keep it clean and report any conspiracies or foul play.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Hahaha, What is your avatar coming from?

Fanart on pixiv, but the character is Otonashi Kiruko from Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san! It's a pretty recent manga introduced in Weekly Shonen Jump and it's been a bit of a hit in Japan.

 

[DigitalOp]

Excitement! Shame DigitalOp and I never managed to get practice time in together, but I'm sure if we believe hard enough everything will be fiiiiine!

We'll be alright, I have too many characters now.... TOO MANY



Hmmm TribalSponge..... our first victims?

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Hazards and Items are back in? Oh hell yeah.

Gunny Balboa coming in hard.

I think stage should be random select every time unless all players in the match agree on a stage. That's just me tho

 

[Vysetron]

Looks like it! I'm free for most of Tuesday and Wednesday, so I'm flexible on when we get the matches going.

 

[J-Tier]

I've suddenly been swamped with work, so I'm not free until Wednesday night PST. If I end up being a no-show, or if the Pouty Pouts aren't free when I am, the Pouty Pouts can win by default. I don't mind winning my way out of loser's bracket. =)

 

[DigitalOp]

Im psyched, the day is here! Match 1 lol

Vysetron, TribalSponge:

Im at work right now, but I'll be available for play at 8 PM EST, Ill be on Neogaf as well around that time. Keep me posted

Thanks

 

[IntelliHeath]

Just send message to Choo and see what we can do.

 

[TWILT]

Drencrom (I sent you a PM) and Napalm_frank, my partner and I are pretty much available any time after 5PM EST today and tomorrow. Just send me a message on PSN (TWILTHERO) or on GAF when you guys are ready.
