REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!
RULES
ROUND ROBIN
We will play each opponent only once. The sets will be best of three. The two players with the best win-loss record will then play in a best of five. Matches will be posted for each round of round robin in this thread.
Because Brawl is so new, none of the stages will be banned from competition. A stage will be picked at random for the first match in a set. The loser of the match will pick the next stage. Dave's Stupid Rule is not in effect.
The matches will be Stock, with three lives. Players will not have a stock time limit. All items including Final Smashes will be disabled. In order for this to work, both players will have to pick the correct stage and have the items and settings set correctly so that the game forces the correct settings.
Deadlines will be set for each set of matches. If one of the two players is not responding by the time the deadline rolls around in some way, the game is an automatic forfeit in favor of the active member in order to continue the flow of the tournament.
I will not object to anyone playing a game after the designated deadline for the round. I just need to be informed in some way about the plans. If I approve a delay, however, you must play the game before the deadline for the next round.
All members who express interest are allowed to play in the tournament.
INSTRUCTIONS
Okay, now that the tournament has officially begun, I will post the first round match ups as well as who gets the bye. The bye for each round will be determined at random. There will be a deadline that the match has to be done by.
Because Nintendo's online admittedly sucks, you must PM your opponent about your match, and send a response PM to the initial PM to confirm and schedule a match time. When you send a PM, please post in this thread as to indicate your activity. This way, I will not have to hand out a forfeit to non-active parties from lack of activity. I won't know what's going on unless it is communicated to me and the rest of the members through this thread.
The PM you send your opponent should include:
Your friend code and the nickname you will be using in game (in order to register the friend as well as prevent confusion)
Your stage selection, in case you lose the first round match.
The times you will be available to play the game, so that you can organize a time to play.
After the games are over, the results can be posted by either of the players. Make sure that you post how many games you played, along with who won each game, which stage the game was played on and which characters you both used for each match. You can use different characters for each of the matches in the set of three if you so desire.
The standings will be posted and updated in the following link, in a Microsoft Excel file:

-
sure.
-
I'm down. I see you won your first round in the GAF tournament, Bloodwake. I'm gonna have mine later tonight.
-
I'd be interested when I get back from vacation...
-
Yeah, I need some motivation to actually put in those friend codes.
-
Sure, why not.
-
Is there a way to nix the input lag?
-
Beezy: Thanks and good luck to you. I'm either fighting someone from Brazil or Europe next, I don't see how I'm going to escape that without lag considering how bad the lag was last night overall on WFC.
Tiesto: It probably won't be until sometime next week if we do play.
AdmiralViscen: don't think so.
I'll update the list of interested parties.
-
I'd like to participate in this tournament.

Thanks, I won 2-0. :)
I hope I don't have to face someone in another country. :-\
-
just dropped in to say: yer all fegs
-
you should make a bunch of signs bearing that message and assemble a group to picket the tournament.
-
do you have my back when the throngs of reeking manchildren swarm me, hungry for retribution and rape in the name of samus aran and starfox
-
Prole, you're such a dick. lol
-
It wouldn't be Evilbore without the Brawl haters. Honestly, the lag's pretty damn bad, and I'm hoping it improves before we kick this thing off.
Updated for HotByCold.
-
Me? Nah, I like Smash Bros. I've never played the GC or Wii versions, but only because I'm too lazy to bother playing games anymore. I'm just indulging in a little concern trolling, or rather concern countertrolling

Naah, I was referring to Prole and the gang.
Prole's such a good troll that I'm not sure if I can name one game he likes.
-
I was actually responding to Prole's message. and I can name a game he likes: Magna Carta.

Alright, I'll get in on some of this action. My online connection has been a bit flaky lately, but I think I'm good to go.

Sweet.
-
Heads up, if anyone wants to play, they have until 12:01 to sign up. SO GET ON IT.
-
My friend tehjaybo asked to get in on the tournament today in person, so I'm going to let him in.
That puts us at nine. Let me see how the brackets are going to fill out, and then I will decide whether we will do double elimination or round robin. If there are a lot of byes, we might not do it that way.
-
One more thread bump for the newest updates.
I also already PMed tiesto, and here is my post for it, regarding the rules in the new update.
-
Beezy lucks out and gets the first round bye.
:rock
-
Bro, this is gonna be sweet.
-
tiesto PMed me back, we are probably going to play our game on Thursday. See? I can make exceptions.
:D
Fun times ahead.

PM me with more of these please
-
PM'd HotbyCold, waiting for his reply.
Something though: Are we ALL playing a best of three match against each other? Or are we only playing one signle game than quitting? I was a bit confused.
-
I've talked to Rman, and we're on for tomorrow at 7pm CST.

Best of three.
-
Ok, HotbyCold hasn't responded to me yet.

Alright, if he still hasn't done anything by the deadline, I'll take him out of the tourney and you can play Beezy.
-
Rman won our match up.
Round #1
Marth (Me) vs. Pit (Him)
Level: Halberd
Winner: Rman
Round #2
Luigi (Me) vs. Pit (Him)
Level: Halberd
Winner: Rman
Round #3
Shiek/Zelda (Me) vs. Meta Knight (Him)
Level: Jungle Japes
Winner: Joe Molotov (yay!)
-
Note for all: You don't have to play all three if you don't want to. Once someone wins two, it's done, unless you really want to play that third one.
-
Yeah, HotbyCold never PMed me back. Beezy and I can be matched up. I'll toss him a PM later today after school.

That works.
I will be PMing everyone else on the status of their matches here in a few. It's like eighty degrees in this library and I need a smoke.
-
Round One: Bloodwake vs. tiesto
tiesto (Marth) defeated Bloodwake (Captain Falcon) (quite handily might I add) on Halberd
tiesto (Marth) defeated Bloodwake (Captain Falcon) on Shadow Moses Island
Some pretty bad lag the first game but it cleared up on my side for the second. Obviously my ability to knock Fire Emblem characters out is horrid.
Good game!
-
PM sent to Beezy. Respond dammit
-
marth is a beast
good character
-
marth is a beast

He's been toned down from Melee though. Lucas is the new hotness. He should have replaced Ness completely.
-
Sorry I haven't checked in. Its crunch week at work as we try to hit our first Sony Submission on Wednesday and I haven't had a chance to really come home and play video games.
-
just dropped in to say: yer all fegs
Don't you play animu rpgs? :lol

That's fine.
Could you try to play your match sometime this afternoon then? Then we can move on for the most part. If not, then we will talk options.
-
Beezy and I are playing sometime tonight after I get off work.

Awesome. Once all the matches are done then I will post Round 2. Hopefully we will get through that easily.
I just went ahead and removed HotByCold because it seemed like some people thankfully chased him off of the forum for a while. I will be a little bit more lenient with you guys. Since the tournament field is so small, I can wait a little longer than the deadline in most cases.
-
BrandNew and Beezy, need an update on your game
Same with tehjaybo and bluemax. If I don't get an update soon I might have to take drastic measures.

Nothing yet, sending another PM.
-
I fucked up on Saturday night because my family had to take an unexpected trip out of state. I sent a PM to Beezy asking to play tonight or tomorrow. If he can't, I'm okay with forfeiting in his favor, being that it's my fault to begin with.

Alright, you guys have until tomorrow at noon and then I will do that.
Same with bluemax and tehjaybo. Tehjaybo gets the forfeit if there isn't a game by tomorrow at noon.

Aw poo.
Beezy beat me fair and square with the burden of a fuckload of lag, no less.
First match was Sonic (me) vs Lucas (Beezy). He completely fucking killed me here, I was down to one life when he was at 60% with all three left. I always thought Sonic's speed was an asset, and I usually dominate my friends with him, but Lucas is strangely good I guess.
Second match was a win for me. It was at Halberd again jsut cause I don't mind the place. This time I was Wolf against his Lucas. And it was a close damn match, but I edged out. Thsi was a great match.
Next match pissed me off, seeing as I guess he was toying with em the whole time. :'( He was Zero Suit Samus against my Wolf, and because of Wolf's fucking awful recover skills, I lost two lives wiuthout him really even doing anythnig to me. I suck at Wolf's recover, I guess.
Fun games though.
-
Sweet. Seeing as how bluemax vs. tehjaybo still hasn't happened, I'm granting the win to tehjaybo since he has stayed in contact with me regularly and I know he's been trying to have the match. Sorry, bluemax, I don't want this tournament lasting until july.
If you can still play post in this thread, or I can remove you if you want. I know you are having a lot of work at the moment.
PS: check the thread later for updated brackets and matchups.
-
The brackets are updated, and here are the matchups.
Beezy vs. Bloodwake
BrandNew vs. tiesto
bluemax vs. Rman
Joe Molotov vs. tehjaybo

Wolf's recovery IS horrible. It's like they took the worst things about Fox/Falco's recovery and decided to make them worse. Oh, I didn't fall off the stage enough times in Melee thanks to their Side-Special! Thanks for making Wolf's bizarrely angled one even more susceptible to falling off stages! And thank goodness the Up-Special for all three Star Fox characters now goes less distance than in Melee before they give out and send you falling almost straight down, unable to move.
It's their own biggest weakness, and it's even worse in Brawl. Many a match I've lost online because a bit of lag caused the wrong move to be made, and lives still unmarred by high percentages were needlessly lost.
Then again, there's also that "lip" that many stages seem to have now. As a Snake/Wolf player, those make recovery... very, very, VERY annoying. CYPHER to recover... and it gets stuck under the lip. CYPHER gives out, Snake falls, no time to use C4 or a grenade to hurt myself and CYPHER again.

That shit pisses me off. It ruins Final Destination for me.

Hey tiesto, I'm in Nashville right now and won't be back until Friday night, and I have an all-day NHS project on Saturday. Sunday work well?

Yeah, there's a good chance I will be around on Sun, but I might be asking a girl out Sun afternoon... we'll see. LOL. But I will let you know!
-
Yeah, I PMed Beezy for a match time.
-
what does beezy sound like? I'm assuming smash features voice chat
-
You're forgetting that Nintendo sucks at online shit. FatalT and Cajole know how I sound because I play COD4 with them.
