Smashers' Reunion : Melee Grande - RESULTS THREAD IS UP NOW! (Road to Apex)

[Gastogh]

280 entrants now!

Hype!




...300 or bust!

 

[Armada]

Biggest tournament of all time?
Not impossible I hope =)

 

[Strong Badam]

It'd be epic if this topped Pound 4's entrant count.

 

[Armada]

Yeah that would have been so epic. But a lot of people don't show up in the end normally but I guess we still can hope at least

 

[Yomi-no-Kuni]

how much was Pound 4 exactly?

 

[Mahie]

According to SSBPD (http://www.ssbpd.com/tournament?sort=entrants), this was the top5 of all time :
*Pound* 4 - 01/16/2010 | 345 entrants
APEX 2012 - 01/08/2012 | 320 entrants
Genesis - 07/09/2009 | 290 entrants
OC3 - Zero Challenge - 07/20/2007 | 265 entrants
Epita Smash Arena 2 - 02/23/2008 | 231 entrants

 

[Armada]

A couple tourmanets of not mention in SSBPD. I know it was a topic about the biggest tournaments ever (exactly numbers of entrants) but I can't find it.

I think ESA2 was 8 or 9 on that list. But yeah Pound 4 is the tournament to beat =)

 

[Strong Badam]

I thought the number was 357 for Pound 4...

Yup, ESA2 was only the 8th. For instance, FC Diamond (256) is missing, as well as a few others.
I think there is a list in topics like "A year in review" or something like that.

 

[Strong Badam]

i
am definitely not attending this

maybe next year

 

[Daisuki]

Is there any tametable of the venue? When will the tournaments start?

PLAN FOR THE ??? ON SATURDAY (DISCUSS)
We obviously won't have time for regional crews, where all countries have their own crews. Therefore I thought of something similar we would have time for:

Sweden + Holland VS THE REST OF THE WORLD
It's well known that Sweden and Holland are the two dominant countries in Melee Europe.
Therefore I thought it would be interesting to see 5 players representing Sweden, and 5 players representing Holland (total of 10) VS a team of 10 formed by the best players outside Sweden/Holland. This is just an idea, but I'd like to hear what u think
Any other suggestions are also appreciated!

No Ice/Overtriforce/Strawhat Dahean? Also don't forget PP !

 

[ajp_anton]

Ice/Overtriforce/Strawhat Dahean/PP aren't from Sweden/Holland.

 

[Beat!]

Yeah, I was talking about the crew battle ^^

 

[Dr Peepee]

I'm hyped!!!!!

 

[Gastogh]

Looks like I won't be going to sleep on that Saturday.

You guys know what's never been done, though?

A teams crew battle.

Just sayin'.

 

[Yomi-no-Kuni]

wrong fred

 

[Fuzzyness]

im not from sweden either

sure we can get a good other team going

 

[Paju]

PP, Javi (not sure if coming), Ice, Overtriforce, Strawhat Dahean (not sure if coming), Fuzzyness, Aldwyn, Pasi and some others. Sounds pretty good crew to me.

 

[_Rocky_]

Since i guess it was forgotten, i'll post again

in the tournament "Berlin Calling" the players Jon_*** and Phex did not participate but have been given 5 losses for their poolmatches (which they did not play) because the host did not bother/forgot to remove them.

This really demotivates those players concerning ssbpd

It would be nice if it could be fixed (i dont know if you forgot/can't do it/ or anything, just wanted to remind you. If its still on your screen just disregard this post)

wow same thing happened to me with berlin calling apparently LOL

 

[WestBallz]

have fun playing PAL falco pp hahahaha have u even practiced with PAL ever?

 

[Dr Peepee]

Not really, but I have a PAL setup I'll mess with eventually.

That Dair is gonna be lol

 

[Krynxe]

I wonder if that weak dair hitbox can lead into anything.

 

[Dr Peepee]

laughing about the dair hitbox is all I've seen it lead to so far

but I'll keep looking

 

[WestBallz]

yeah dude have fun trying to combo floaties. heard it was impossible

 

[ImperfeCt]

yeah dude have fun trying to combo floaties. heard it was impossible

You do realize Falco's dair still spikes in PAL, right? It's only the late hit (which afaik is only a meteor in NTSC) that is affected

 

[Luma]

egdeguarding on highpercent sometimes is quite usefull with, for example when i spike would just hit him on the stage in NTSC you will get him offstage in PAL, same with dair from the legde, if done correctly its ALOT harder to tech

 

[ajp_anton]

You do realize Falco's dair still spikes in PAL, right? It's only the late hit (which afaik is only a meteor in NTSC) that is affected

It's never a meteor. It's just, well, slightly weaker.
But yeah, the strong hit is still the same, and I don't really see the weak hit being used *that* often so I don't know why it's such a big issue.

 

[Armada]

A pre john maybe?

 

[Dr Peepee]

don't flatter yourself

I don't mind the hitbox one bit

ya bit



edit: it is still going to be funny regardless LOL

 

[Fuzzyness]

falco d air in ntsc is funny, just throw that **** out :D

 

[Tonb3rry]

Ticket booking is now up and running!
-->You can book tickets here!<-- Please note that the event is called Console Battle here, as this is what Smashers' Reunion and Round1KO use as a common name for this event. Also note that some information on this site is incorrect at the moment, but I've sent a mail to correct them. Don't mind that, though. You got all that information in the first post

Also, I don't have access to see who's ordering yet, so I want everyone who order tickets to send me a copy of their confirmation to tonberry@smashersreunion.com, in order to be confirmed

You will be able to book hotel rooms in a few days at www.smashersreunion.com, when the site is up and running!

 

[Strong Badam]

No, it's still very well a spike. Get hit by dair after an entire second of the move? You still die at 40%.

Really cool character

 

[Fuzzyness]

[Tonb3rry]
