Recreational player tournament

Guest · Recreational player tournament

for those of us who totally admit we can't do much more than lightly spar with the pros/don't have time to anyway. lemme know how this sounds: fridays at 7:00 eastern i'll host open matches, anybody can join. those who rack up the least wins will be sorted into a bracket to determine the best of the worst. i'll do this for a couple weeks because its for no-timers.

SYLUXMASTER7227

ill play XD

Lokker

I'm free around then.

Guest

alrighty, so i'll host the matches regardless and with a couple more people this should get going.

Lokker

It almost never happens, but I'll try to get on at the time.

Y2JCrusher

I'll do it if I have time. And Lokker needs to get a better connection. He has a lag connection right now.

SYLUXMASTER7227

if i remember ill be on

Lokker

SYLUXMASTER7227

my connections perfect
yay

if only the damn 360 was this easy to set up >_<

Lokker

This is why I bought a Wii.

SYLUXMASTER7227

tru dat
i got a 360 cuz all my friends have it
and the games are good

Guest

lol and it has voice chat.
nintendo: benevolent despot: WE PROTECT YOU OR ELSE
xbox 360: democracy: we provide as much protection as the people want, and they understand that this can come at the cost of certain privileges or rights.
ps3: anarchy: lol wut? protection?

Lokker

... Qué?

Guest

hahaha. the 360 has voice chat on most games. without the person being your friend. but if you really want to be protected, you can turn off everybody else's voice but your friend's. ps3 i don't think has much security like that. and wii forces you to accept protection against being talked to even though you don't want it. anyway people match being hosted tomorrow, time's unchanged. *prays no strange circumstances come up like they always do*

Lokker

Ah, I see! I still think we could benefit from a microphone attachment, or even a special type of microphone' that can also allow stuff like the Nunchuk to still be used.

Guest

Hello everyone. It is currently 7:00 Eastern on Friday. And NOBODY'S ON. lol. since im here right now im obviously not in front of my wii so maybe someone joined, but please get on and lets do this if you're reading this before an hour from now.

Lokker

You were pretty strong as Metaknight. I still think there should be more people online at one time, 'cause it'd be fun to battle on a free-for-all Brawl.

Guest

yeah both good games. 1-1. lol the lag is a pain though; on luigi's mansion it was hard to hit you because we would both be in a different place when the attack registered, and there was some slow motion on battlefield i think. and yeah come on people i told everyone when the matches would be. although lokker one of my friends came in and one of his friends followed right after you left, but one of them was massively laggy anyway. (forget slow motion, just full stops in the middle of the game)

ill keep hosting open matches at the same time if possible.

Lokker

I'll try and get on then, I could use the practice.

Lokker

Maybe I should try and open up my own Rec' Brawls on Saturday's at 8 pm?

Guest

actually yes i was going to suggest that, as i was becoming afraid that it would just be us two having friday night brawls instead of an open (and paradoxical considering the nature) tournament qualifier. Just record the wins/losses of those participating.

alright everyone here's my general idea on how this is going to work: there will be two brackets, one for those who can never win, another for those who can never play. (those who are truly the "recreational" gamers.) rather than the way a bracket is normally set up, high vs. low seeds, the best people will be pitted against each other in the early rounds to force them to eliminate each other. the size of the brackets is related to the showing we have on fridays (i'll post if I'm unable to host at any point), and i'm planning to make the initial judgement as to placement and tournament size following three more of my friday opens. (the first being this coming one, 7pm eastern still.) There will be opportunities to play on saturday at 8 with lokker as host as well. if you consider yourself a recreational player, but do not wish to/cannot participate in these opens, feel free to merely submit your screen name and ssbb name as a potential entrant. (those who CAN not, explain and you'll receive a low seeding, those who WILL not, you will receive a high seeding and play better players in the early rounds.)

questions/comments/objections feel free to post.
yes i am a leader kinda-sorta person.
if the forums as a whole don't respond positively i'll be filling 2 or 3 positions with friends of mine and the tournament will still continue with those few who've expressed interest.

Lokker

For me it's mostly to hear K.K. Slider at Smashville. Whoever is registered as META, let me know who you are. I got my ass handed to me by the guy and it was with a different character each time.

Guest

lol yeah i figured, that's why i remarked that i liked your style in the challenge thread. well everybody tomorrow just so happens to be a friday, lets get this moving, it's still just me and lokker and apparently META.

alrighty now it IS friday... i was on until 7:30 and had no joiners. I think something's happening next week; we'll see. oh yeah i'm volunteering, so it'll be later next friday or on sat/sun instead. assuming anybody indicates a preference. 2 more opens to go. again, you can just submit your name otherwise and still be entered.

Lokker

I'm open tonight at the usual time. Be there!

SYLUXMASTER7227

i havent been playing brawl at all

Guest

argh. i do believe this might be dying just as fast as everything else. irony ftw.

SYLUXMASTER7227

yay irony

Lokker

Tournaments have been unsuccessful so far but I pray this will work out when we have a definite reason to be on for more than just 10 minutes (Give or take). I'm still hoping for Animal Crossing to come out this year.

Guest

alright im volunteering tomorrow for a career fair kinda thing from like 5-9pm. you guys want 10pm matches or extend this one more week or just count lokker's smashville sessions this week? META whoever you are, declare yourself, sylux you still in? and you guys can still enter for another 2 weeks.

Guest

NEVER MIND- EVERYTHING CONTINUES AS NORMAL. come on guys show up this time please? sylux your name's gonna be in the final bracket since you said you'd play before and never backed out.

Lokker

I can't make it tonight, I'm at my sister's, and her husband's, place for pizza. I'm still open for a match on Saturday's at 8 pm. If anyone sees someone they don't recognize, it's probably my friend Nick who agreed on a Smashville match.

Guest

well, once again i was on for about a half hour, once again nobody. next friday's the last open, and then the actual thing will be on a weekend probably due to an impending flood of ap exams.

Lokker

I fought Meta again. I think he's Rascal, but I haven't seen him on the site for awhile. The guy beat me again but I'm improving my game. I swear, every time I fight him he's using a different character. Damien: Personally I think it isn't a match, but more like helpful tips from a pro!

Guest

alright so whoever meta is, he's going to be in the bracket, straight wins so far. with you me sylux and meta there's 4, enough for a tiny little bracket. again, one week remains.

SYLUXMASTER7227

yay
so wait im confused

Guest

you said you'd play. so you're in. these friday and saturday matches have been hosted for the purpose of determining a single elimination bracket, but i mentioned that anyone who put their name up would possibly be entered, you said you'd play and we've had very few takers.

SYLUXMASTER7227

i see
well umm
idk if i can

Lokker

I think Hunter deleted the wrong account...

SYLUXMASTER7227

shit
quietman huh

Lokker

Hopefully someone can e-mail him about this fuck-up.

SYLUXMASTER7227

is there anyway to restore him?

Lokker

That's what I'm wondering, too.

Broken 2

HUNTER YOU IDIOT >__<

btw it's THIS friday that I'm volunteering, I had that messed up before. lets see, 3pm-(around 8?) im gone, so i'll host matches at roughly 10 eastern, i'll update this when i figure out what's going on.

it's quiet for those of you who don't recognize a reference to a long while back.

SYLUXMASTER7227

im guessing your quietman?

Lokker

Well, good luck trying to regain your losses, Q-Man.

Broken 2

haha w/e, still some of my posts in the mph section one could kinda use as a chronicle of the history of this site (the deletion incident when i was just plain Broken, which is what my name refers to now, and i just sorta happened on a wealth of knowledge i hadn't asked for), now they've disappeared.

the hunter

my bad quiet lol...or broken, out of all the inactive people i deleted, i deleted 1 active person lol. my bad

Broken 2

no problem. alright i should be back in time for things to proceed as normal tomorrow. last open match. any takers?

SYLUXMASTER7227

well its two hours later
sorry cant

Broken 2

argh, anybody want to get on, because the wii is in a bad location that involves me getting bothered every time i play it and i really don't feel like going through that again today if nobody's even going to play. i'll still set up the bracket and this thing WILL be finished. i'm not letting another one of my organized ideas die. today's the last day for open matches, next week ap exams start (AGGHGHGH) but it means i have like nothing to do so we can set up the single elimination matches for whenever. at the current rate it'll be a 2-round tournament anyway.

Broken 2

its 7, no response. argh. let it be known that i DID go on for a little while, you guys weren't there. i'm gonna be on live for a while if anyone wants to find me. TheRealDMac is my gamertag. who knows how long i'll be on; whatever, but i'll put the bracket for the tournament up when i come back (it'll be in the tournaments subforum, not here.)

SYLUXMASTER7227

sorry
im never on on friday
howbout tonight (saturday)
at around 8
i set an alarm so ill be on
unless im deaf

Broken 2

haha, it's lokker's turn tonight to be host; i might join you guys though. so i'll put the bracket up sunday, not saturday, i was unclear about that.

SYLUXMASTER7227

ill try to play this weekend for once

Broken 2

what was the result of your saturday match?

Lokker

Absolutely nothing happened. Meta has disappeared from the Saturday match last week.

Broken 2

hey lokkr and sylux lets just have a 3-man free for all, we'll set the date and time beforehand. sylux if you don't show up you just lose =p. watch now ill miss it.

Broken 2

dang it, IM TIRED. lets finish this thing up already. who wants to set a time...?

Broken 2

wow this is sooooo dead. somebody suggest a time, lets put the game to rest the right way.

SYLUXMASTER7227

is it just me or did brawl die faster than any of our other sections
minus the halo one

Broken 2

yeah i pointed that out somewhere lol.... it was the most hyped and it died ridiculously fast. HEY GUYS LETS HAVE A TOURNAMENT *hunter goes on a deletion spree* /dead. btw you still haven't suggested a date.

Broken 2

would lokker or sylux like to finish this? would anybody else like to play a game? and would someone please tell me what shas is saying that makes this annoying leopard security program block his replies?

SYLUXMASTER7227

like i said
id love to finish this
as soon as summer starts
7 days.

Broken 2

gimme 14 from tomorrow; summer's started but i'm gonna be a bit busy. then we need to settle all of this.

SYLUXMASTER7227

5 more days

Broken 2

SYLUXMASTER7227

sure why not

Broken 2

alrighty lets just pick a time. i'm prolly gonna lose now lol, been doing hardcore athletic stuff and totally ignoring ssbb.

SYLUXMASTER7227

i havent played it since this died
(a few months)
