shadowgoten Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Ok so I'm hoping for a higher participation list this time, This one will probably be in may after everyone finishes their finals so we have no problems whatsoever. The rules are as follows: All characters are open. All stages are open. Item appearances set to low. 4 stock If you have any problems with items at all, and both are in agreement, you can turn off items for your match. Sign up for your spot here! The list: Shadowgoten LinkG07 (Previous champ) Starkrafter Blyde PheonixGamma DimensionWarped Streak Aylingling Gamerdude AeroGP Ila Ok here are the brackets, they're pretty big yes. I gots a program to make a fancy schmancy double elimination bracket this time so everyone except the person winning every match will have 2 lives basically. I know the first round has a lot of byes, but after that we should see the brackets working pretty well. As for items, if you and the person you are playing against can come to an agreement on a particular item ruleset, you are more than welcome to use that instead. Final match will be best out of 3 as well, unless anyone is against that. Ok round 2 brackets are up. It's still a little small, but more legible this time.

shadowgoten Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 EDIT: Hey SG, are you gonna spice up the matches this tourney? Have anything in mind? I'm open to any and all suggestions. I forgot to ask before what the participants thought of the current rules and if they have any additions or suggestions they'd like to make. If we have enough participation this time, I'm thinking about having a losers bracket as well...but we'll have to see what kind of numbers we have this time.

StarKrafter Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 If both fighters would rather play without items, you're more than welcome to turn them off. Excellent. I definately prefer a clean arena. Anyone up for a few practice rounds? Let me know via aim. I'm available for the rest of today. EDIT: Blarg LinkG07, you face me WITHOUT ITEMS. Let's see how good you are then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 By the way, if no one minds when fighting me, I set non-food healing items, dragoons, assist trophies, and final smashes to off. If you prefer them on, I guess thats ok, but otherwise thats what I'd prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Final smashes on cause they're pwetty :3 @StarKrafter: Someone doesn't like unexpected item kills Komedy on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I highly disagree with final smashes solely on the basis of them being unbalanced as hell. On one end of the spectrum you have Super Sonic (who also has the advantage where actually getting the smash ball is concerned) and on the other you have Mario's completely worthless fireball move.

Ligar Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Some, but they can be avoided. I found it funny how if Marth misses his, he commits suicide off the screen lol EDIT: Here's a nice tidbit. In the matches, a random person (or person picked through some kind of drawing) gets to set up the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Super Sonic can't be avoided, Wario-man can't be avoided, only really bad landmaster users can be avoided, and believe me, I could go on. Hell, only a very small minority of characters can avoid some moves... like Olimar's End of Day attack for instance. IMO, the tactics that come with items should apply more to use than acquisition.

Blyde Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Finals? Mine are in June from 6/9-6/13 and then miscellaneous tests the week after, but I only really need to worry about 5/3 (SAT which is meh) and 5/9 (APUSH test, hoo boy I hate this subject). Playing in June isn't a problem for me. And allow me to nitpick a little about items as well, kinda like DW's stuff: No non-food healing items, dragoon parts, fans, or ray guns (you have no idea how many times my friends got cheap kills over the last two items), and no fire flower if we play on Bridge of Eldin. Final smashes and Pokéballs/ ATs are ok by me. If you wanna leave them on, please at least stay away from the fan :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah, walk-off stages change a lot of things. All I've got to say is if I see a Dedede player chain grab someone all the way to the edge for an insta-kill, I'm not going to be a happy camper. Pokeballs I think are fine. ATs... not quite as much. They aren't nearly as bad as final smashes, but oi, some of them can really be a lot worse. Oh, and stopwatches. I hate them a lot. Really dumb. On the other hand, I see nothing at all wrong with the fan. It's uses are pretty much exactly what they should be... a good item for penalizing heavy shield users.

Blyde Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Or people can do Yeah, ok, it's very situational, but having that happen to you in FFA and 1vs1 is freaking annoying and hard to escape. I can't stop the fan spammers all the time, of course. So like, it would be great if no one did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah the fan is the greatest weapon on there, which is why it should not be used XD EDIT: I understand that FS are annoying, but with items on low, and no party balls, they're actually a rarity.

Serephim Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 You cant directional influence, dodge or ANYTHING out of that? After a while the fan should stop flinching you. Thats a huge mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 If you dodge items, you can't get hurt. I'm looking at you fan, laser, dragoon, and all the other shit people BAWWWWW about. Course, you could just get the freaking item first and not get hit by it. Naw, let's just ban shit. Yay broken Smashboards logic! DERP! Also, you can DI out of the fan. You can either push through the opponent or away from the opponent, but you need to commit to avoid staying in any longer than you should (translation: don't push left, realize pushing right would be quicker, then push right. At that point you're better off pushing left.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 That is bullshit. The dragoon comes out instantly and if you aren't dodging when it goes off you are dead, and if you dodge before it goes off (assuming you are playing someone with any degree of compotence), you are dead. What are you left with? Hoping that you can jive the player with the dragoon long enough to keep him from using it on you until you can dodge to the end of it... and that never works for the above reason that it goes off instantly. And getting the item first isn't always an option. Especially in the case of assist trophies and stop watches. There it is very scarcely an option.
