~SSBM CREW TOURNAMENT UPDATE!~

The SSBM Crew Tournament will begin at 8:30pm on Friday September 1st near the Lobby. But, be there around 8:15pm so we can assign the crews.

RULES
- 1 vs 1
- 5 stock
- No time limit
- No items
- Banned Stages (tentative): Hyrule, Termina, Brinstar, Brinstar Depths, Yoshi 64, Icicle Mtn., Flatzone, Big Blue

-Teams decided randomly
-Character change not allowed inbetween matches
-Captains decide the order of the teams
-Crews with five members get four lives per member. In the case a crew has only four members, each member gets five stocks instead of four

The winner after each round needs to suicide until you have the same amount of stocks you had at the end of the previous match.

*Crew Leaders: Heaven, D-Man, Fevenis

I'm assuming we will have twenty people for this, so that is four crews. I will assign the best SSBM players as Crew Leaders. The other four people will draw poker chips from the tin can to determine which crew they are on.

For those who don't know what this is, it is a Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament put on just for fun the night before the convention. We have crews (or teams) fighting against other crews. What we did last year was hook up a TV outside the console gaming room and hooked a Gamecube up to it w/ SSBM. We then had one person from a crew (composed of four or five people) battle out 1v1 against a person from another crew. We organized our own little fun crew tournament that way.

Last year was fun for the crew tournament. It was a great way to meet some fellow Smashers and new friends.

I'll be the captain for my crew. So far I don't have a crew formed. Shall we start discussing the crew tournament? I'm curious to see how many people are interested in it this year.

(I'm hoping one of the regulars will post the rules and stuff for the crew tournament, cus I'm a little lazy right now)-

dane I would love to serve you sir!

kalira · « **Reply #2 on:** March 30, 2006, 02:51:57 pm »

Providing that I am not dead and have the gaming room already set up I would not mind joining in as well. It is one of the few times that I get to play a game durring the con. >_<

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #3 on:** March 31, 2006, 11:29:29 pm »

Hm...thinking about it, I'll probably just do random crew where we draw numbers out of a hat or something.

Xaam · « **Reply #4 on:** April 14, 2006, 12:46:41 pm »

Count me in. Sounds like fun.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #5 on:** April 14, 2006, 01:24:19 pm »

Nice XD. I hope to have at least four crews. So, we'll need at least 20 people for the SSBM Crew Tournament.

Thanks for your guys' participation. I'm surprised the regulars haven't posted yet.

DMStudios · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2006, 12:30:29 am »

I'm posting, you happy? Maybe I can be on a random crew again and lead them to victory?

I hope the rules get hammered out before the con. It would be a shame if it was the same as Sakuracon :roll:

Zelda FTW!!!

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2006, 02:04:14 am »

Yeah, for the actual SSBM Tournament. I'll probably get on the Gaming Coordinator's case about that.

As for the SSBM Crew Tournament, should we post some rules?

DMStudios · « **Reply #8 on:** April 15, 2006, 12:21:15 pm »

Yeah, that'd be a good thing. We don't wanna have to spend a bunch of time setting up rules while we could be playing. So, yeah. Look up some of the rules on Smashboards.com. Those are the best rules for tourney play.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #9 on:** April 23, 2006, 07:22:35 pm »

Alright, I found a thread somewhere that discussed the rules used at PAX for their SSBM tournament. I'm going to tweak those a bit, so how does this sound:

- 1 vs 1
- 4 stock
- No time limit
- No items
- Banned Stages (tentative): Hyrule, Termina, Brinstar, Brinstar Depths, Yoshi 64, Icicle Mtn., Flatzone, Big Blue

---------------------------------------------------

-Teams decided randomly.
-Character change not allowed inbetween matches.
-Captains decide the order of the teams.
-Crews with five members get four lives per member. In the case a crew only has four members, each member gets five lives.
-Suicide till you have the amount of lives you had in the previous match.

Anything I should add or change anything else?

Deahawk · « **Reply #10 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:54:11 pm »

Yeah, random crews sound fun.
You can't change your character inbetween matches. Captains decide the order of the teams. If a crew has four members, each member gets five lives, and if the crew has five members, they each get four lives.
Um...suicide till you have the amount of lives you had in the previous match. You guys that played last year should remember.
Also, the other samus stage should be banned...cuzz that one just sucks. All samus levels = lot's of stage interferance...which is fun in a free for all, but so are items, but not for tournaments.

I'm all for randoms!!

superjaz · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:07:44 am »

want to play!! i'm kirby!!
i know there'd be mutible characters but i MUST BE PINK KIRBY!!
okay

limeloverj2x · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2006, 02:04:48 am »

Count me in for sure. I have a friend that is gonna show up too...so just list him as "Lime's friend" or something

I think the tentative list of rules sounds awesome so far...I actually like the idea of just doing random crews this time.

I can't believe it's already been a whole year since last kumoricon...it seems like just the other day we were sitting around the game room playin smash all day XD

I didn't get to go to sakuracon this year, but from the sounds of it, they kinda joked up the tournament...just like the previous year :roll:

Definitely looking forward to smashing with you guys again

Fevenis · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2006, 11:17:01 am »

I don't have a crew... Maybe someone wouldn't mind picking up an extra player? I'd give myself a B ranking as far as skill goes.

Let me know.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2006, 03:04:02 am »

The crews this year will be randomly drawn. I am putting numbered poker chips in a can, and then everyone will draw. Those who draw poker chips numbered 1-5 will be a crew, 6-10 will be a crew, etc.

Alright! We are at ten people, but we need more! I'm hoping to see at least 20. Everyone, spread the word about the SSBM Crew tournament. Have your Kumoricon friends post in this thread if they are interested! XD

Jasmine-Soyokaze · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2006, 03:32:41 am »

COUNT ME IN MR.DANTE SIR.

Then yatta for me :D

kairi · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2006, 09:48:32 am »

man i would love to go but my parents are being strict

lol i am lucky that i get to go to the con though

LadyAyumi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2006, 12:36:21 pm »

I would love to participate!!

(yatta dante...you know who I am!! XD it's me ayumi!)

Kendra · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2006, 11:33:38 am »

I'm terrible at the game. However, if that doesn't keep me out of it, I'd love to try!

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #19 on:** July 25, 2006, 11:43:55 am »

Being "terrible" at something shouldn't stop one from participating and enjoying themselves, XD.

But I will do something. Since crews will be decided from poker chips randomly, if all the people who say they aren't good at this game end up being in the same crew, I'll do some rearranging.

Mushoku145 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 25, 2006, 04:29:13 pm »

Count me in, I'll give you a heads up if I have to do something. But if not I'm all for a crew tourney. Now,who to play as............

Negima · « **Reply #21 on:** July 25, 2006, 07:40:25 pm »

I keep thinking about whether or not to join. :? It sounds like fun though.
I'll be coming up the night before the con but at what time (approx.) do you think you'll start?

Put me down as a maybe so far.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2006, 10:44:11 pm »

We'll probably start gather everyone at 8:00pm, and start at 8:15pm or 8:30pm.

You really should join it Negima, it'll great fun.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2006, 04:26:35 am »

Okay, so hmmm...

Someone brought a TV last time for this, but I can't remember who. I'll ask the hotel if they have a TV that we can borrow for this.

Fevenis · « **Reply #24 on:** July 30, 2006, 09:21:05 am »

If I have a team member I want to party with, would that be possible?

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #25 on:** July 30, 2006, 12:55:48 pm »

The crews are going to be random, so you'd have to hope that you guys pick a number close to each other when you draw for chips.

Waffles · « **Reply #26 on:** July 30, 2006, 05:44:02 pm »

Dane I thnik we should be able to have some friends on our teams

aaero · « **Reply #27 on:** July 30, 2006, 06:58:29 pm »

I want to join even though I'm terrible, but I don't want to miss the Idol contest! Did you say you might start at 8:00? That would give me some time to see the beginning of it. Or do I just have to pick one?

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #28 on:** July 30, 2006, 07:12:40 pm »

The crew tournament will start around 8:15pm, but I'd like everyone there at 8:00pm. It is on the night before the convention, which is Friday night. There are no conflicts with this Crew Tournament, it is something I put on for fun the night before the convention. Therefore, it doesn't interfere with any events, and that includes the Idol Contest (this Crew Tournament is different from the actual Kumoricon SSBM Tournament).

Can you still make it to the Crew Tournament on that Friday night?

Negima · « **Reply #29 on:** July 30, 2006, 07:31:09 pm »

I decided. Count me in.

And Gawd help anyone who is really really good with Falco or Fox. I HATE those two. :evil:

aaero · « **Reply #30 on:** July 30, 2006, 07:37:25 pm »

Gah sorry, I really need to learn how to read. Good job on answering my question in your first post!

You can count me and possibly another in. If needed, I can actually bring my TV (nothing big, just a 27") since I live pretty close and I have a decent size car (yay, perks of adulthood). I don't have a gamecube, though I do have a friend with one that also has SSBM. It's probably broken though, knowing him.

I also suggest that you let people volunteer to be crew captains. It would make sense to have the most skilled players doing that probably? Also, that way you automatically spread the best players out among the teams. Just an idea though.

edit: lol negima, I'm a fox player. But instead of really really good, I'm really bad ><.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #31 on:** July 30, 2006, 08:20:56 pm »

That's a good idea, Aaero. Thanks for suggesting it. I'll modify the rules.

I have a Gamecube that I am bringing with Super Smash Brothers Melee. Unfortunately, I only have one controller, and my memory card was lost. I'll try to get my friend's memory card for this.

27" in is pretty big in this case, in my opinion. But, that would be great if you could bring it along. What time are you arriving at the Red Lion Inn? I could help you with that.

@Negima

lol, sorry Negima, but I am a main Fox player. XD

Though, I use other characters too.

XCrashCardX · « **Reply #32 on:** July 30, 2006, 08:26:49 pm »

I'm totaly down. and I will help Kenrda learn, we can practic together.

Oh, and as to controler problems, I have two Wave Birds and three regular controlers.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #33 on:** July 30, 2006, 08:28:36 pm »

So you can train Kendra? That's great. Thanks for doing that CrashCard.

Oh, who wants to be a crew leader? I need two more people to be leaders to accomodate the new rules. I need good SSBM players for the leader positions, so don't be humble. XP

aaero · « **Reply #34 on:** July 31, 2006, 09:17:39 am »

I can arrive like a half-hour early no problem. If we need to work out the details thats fine, I'll pm you my phone number or you can message me on myspace or something.

I have a friend that wants to join: Heckler. On a related note, he and I will probably practice on Thursday nights from 9:30 - 11:30. If anyone, for some reason, wanted to join. I live right in the intersection of Tigard, Beaverton, and Portland.

Should have seen that coming. ~_~

Fevenis · « **Reply #36 on:** August 01, 2006, 11:56:07 am »

Anyone want to game it up in Salem? Good practice right? :twisted:

Jasmine-Soyokaze · « **Reply #37 on:** August 03, 2006, 12:03:01 am »

Im using Shiek! <33 Im so excited, ive been practicing!

Negima · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2006, 11:12:24 am »

I just thought of this and thought I should post it here.

If we have time and if others are up to it, what if after the first tournament we had another crew tournament (or something) where we don't get to pick our characters? The chip numbers could stand for different fighters (ex: #1 is Zelda, #2 is Mr. Game and Watch, etc.) and then we drew again to figure out crew teams. That way most players would have to fight with a character they aren't used to like someone who's used to Bowser suddenly gets Pichu. Again, just thought I should throw this idea out there.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #39 on:** August 03, 2006, 02:05:00 pm »

I'm sure that not everyone would stay for that, but if we have some people left over, we can do that if anyone wants to.

DMStudios · « **Reply #40 on:** August 03, 2006, 07:16:36 pm »

Well, Negima, I can use Fox too, but I know how to fight Foxes as well:) I'll try to take several out for you:)

I'm D-Man, and I'll probably be one of the team captains. So if you have any questions about fighting certain characters, just ask me.

Living Inside the Shell · « **Reply #41 on:** August 03, 2006, 09:12:26 pm »

I sure wish I could play with everyone. Sadness...

Oh well. ^_^

Negima · « **Reply #42 on:** August 04, 2006, 09:58:05 am »

Why, why must so many know how to play as Fox or Falco? ~_~

I don't mind that players use Fox, I just hate the character.

Just so you know why I don't like them, it's due to lots of agonizing experiences where they will give me 100% or more damage in what feels like 10 second and they've hogged the edges a lot. And then there's the taunts. :evil:

Fevenis · « **Reply #43 on:** August 04, 2006, 10:04:29 am »

Can people still come if they don't sign up here? I bet I can drag a few people with me on the way

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #44 on:** August 04, 2006, 12:44:30 pm »

Yeah, people can still come if they don't sign up. It's just that signing up helps me keeps track of everyone who wants to join, thus giving me an idea of how many crews of X number of people I can make.

limeloverj2x · « **Reply #45 on:** August 04, 2006, 12:50:56 pm »

I brought the TV last year...

What a pain :?

I live in gresham AND I didn't even have a hotel for the night before the con. It was still alot of fun though

I would offer to be a crew leader, but I haven't been playing smash that much recently, so i'm sure my skill has been somewhat reduced.

So i'll be humble for right now.

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #46 on:** August 04, 2006, 01:34:37 pm »

So you brought the TV last year, Lime? Thanks for that, I can't remember if I thanked ya before for it or not.

limeloverj2x · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2006, 02:30:23 pm »

Haha...you don't have to thank me...I wanted to play just as much as everyone else did. I'll bring the same TV this year just in case.

I just had an idea...

We should start a Smash club...>_>

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2006, 02:37:11 pm »

That would be great. I'm actually moving to Portland one week after Kumoricon for PSU.

Hm...wonder what characters will be used in this tournament by y'all. XD

I dunno if you'll catch my response, but I suggest using Mario against people who use Fox. When they do that zippy flash attack move, use Mario's cape. Actually, using Mario's cape against almost all of Fox's moves are enough to really mess with a player who uses him. ^_^
