OCR's 1st Super Smash Bros Brawl Tourmanent

[Arek the Absolute]

WELCOME TO OCREMIX'S FIRST SUPER SMASH BROTHERS BRAWL TOURNAMENT
(hosted by ClanOCR (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14467))

Since this is OCR's first tournament, I am going to keep things rather simple.

TOURNAMENT PLAY IS AS FOLLOWS:
-Three stock with no time limit
-Double Elimination
-Items are off
-Rounds will be best 3 out of 5 (mainly to give people a chance JIC they get f'ed over by lag)
-Stages will be random at first, then whoever lost the first match will get to chose the stage next.
-No limit on who you can choose. If you play one character, you aren't stuck using that one character the whole tournament.


THE FOLLOWING STAGES ARE BANNED:
-Flatzone 2
-Mushroomy Kingdom
-Rumble Falls
-Norfair
-Spear Pillar
-Port Town Aero Dive
-WarioWare, Inc.
-New Pork City
-Summit
-Skyworld
-75 M
-Mario Bros
-Hanenbow
-Temple (Melee)
-Onett (Melee)
-Rainbow Cruise (Melee)
-Big Blue (Melee)
-Brinstar (Melee)

Below is the tournament bracket. To make it easy on both competitors, please meet up in #clanocr on the enterthegame server to set up times to play. The channel is the best place to meet up with the rest of the entrants of the tournament. If you have any problems connecting to the server or the channel, contact me on AIM as soon as possible so we can fix this.

Since this is a double elimination tournament, don't worry if you lose in a round! You will have two chances to win this, so if you happen to goof and lose once, no worries!

Since this is the first brawl tournament, let us make it one to remember! Good luck and have fun!

Also, PLEASE dont forget to record your matches if they are under three minutes. I want to get this thing archived as much as possible!

RECORD YOUR MATCHES IF UNDER 3 MINUTES

[Jam Stunna]

Nice bracket. When do we begin?

[Arek the Absolute]

[Jarvi]

What happens in the case of a disconnect? Sometimes my internet likes to die randomly.

[Arek the Absolute]

What happens in the case of a disconnect? Sometimes my internet likes to die randomly.

Hopefully that doesnt happen, but if you keep getting disconnects, the only thing I can say is...well...better luck next time. I have people lined up to replace people just in case problems like this happen.


Goodluck :?

[Steben]

I sent you a PM Cynical, but in case anyone else needs to get in touch with me for this tournament, you can catch me on AIM at "StebenXC". My profile probably has another AIM name, but it's on my desktop which I don't check often.

I'm also lurking IRC on the #ClanOCR channel often.

[Arek the Absolute]

Beat dPaladin 3-0

Good games, sir.

Now we wait for the finish of Joefu vs Silent Mike.

[Jarvi]

Hopefully that doesnt happen, but if you keep getting disconnects, the only thing I can say is...well...better luck next time. I have people lined up to replace people just in case problems like this happen.


Goodluck :?

Yea, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I more meant like should we just replay that match or count it as a loss for me, etc.

[atmuh]

Atma beats Tables 3-0
you were definitely better than I expected, though

[Robotaki]

EPIC. is there any way that we can record this and put some matches on youtube possibly? I'd really like to have a way to see some of these matches =p

[Arek the Absolute]

EPIC. is there any way that we can record this and put some matches on youtube possibly? I'd really like to have a way to see some of these matches =p

If matches are under 3 minutes, I am having people record them.

[Nekofrog]

I want to play D:

[Arek the Absolute]

I will keep you in mind just in case someone decides to be a no show.

[Red Shadow]

SO HOW COME I DONT SEE MY NAME ON THERE
. .

[Arek the Absolute]

That is actually a good question. I inputted your name along with everyone elses, but TIO didn't show it.

If everyone plays their matches, you can take my spot I guess.

I am giving everyone 2 days to at least check in. If we don't hear nothing from you in 2 days, then you will be replaced one of the many people that want to join and are actually available.

[The Derrit]

I beat Taucer in the closest 3-0 set ever.

[Jam Stunna]

Why not add Neko and Red to play each other?

[Arek the Absolute]

That would destroy the bracket...but gimme a moment to see what I can do.
EDIT: ya, that totally just DESTROYS the bracket. I will see what I can do. If people don't check in, their spots are immediately owned by them.

[Oceania]

Hi, I'm Oceania, and I'm registered as Ocean for the tournament. I'll add you tonight, linkspast, and you can find my code under Jam's name in the database.

[Eten]

I beat Hypersonic 3-0.

[IbanezNinja]

I beat Smax 3-2

good matches bro

[Global-Trance]

Beat thedon 3-0. Beat Eten 3-1. In the one he beat me, he beat me really really bad lol.

GGs.

[Eten]

K, who do I go up against next?

[The Derrit]

Lost to Lord Roderick, 3-0. Really really really close the lot of them....................

[Lord.Roderick.i]

Lost to Lord Roderick, 3-0. Really really really close the lot of them....................
Yeah, I know.
Really good matches.
:D

EDIT: Who am I fighting now?

[Critical Hit]

Beat Azul 3-0, on FD, Smashville, and Yoshi's Island. A replay is available for the Smashville match, if you want it Arek.

[linkspast]

Hi, I'm Oceania, and I'm registered as Ocean for the tournament. I'll add you tonight, linkspast, and you can find my code under Jam's name in the database.

o ok Cool I was looking for Ocean, and Had no luck...

[Arek the Absolute]

Here is the current bracket:

http://milkywaywishes.herograw.net/ocrbp2.JPG

If anyone has finished their matches, please let me know so I can update this even more and say who faces who next.

First round is almost done! HengDe has until tonight to report in or RedShadow takes his place.

[Jarvi]

I beat Sengin 3-0

[Silent Mike]

JoeFu where you be at. I'll be home all day so PM me when you want to do this.

[atmuh]

Hi, I'm Oceania, and I'm registered as Ocean for the tournament. I'll add you tonight, linkspast, and you can find my code under Jam's name in the database.

you have a silly dedede :3


E: atma beats ibanez 3-1
gt beats atma 3-1

expected

[Scufo]

Cynical beats Steben in a lagtastic 3-0.

[Steben]

Cynical beats Steben in a lagtastic 3-0.

:-/ Yeah, apparently this will be the last SSBB tournament I take part in while I live here (until August), cause that was actually a good connection by our standards. The internet in this apartment complex sucks :(

Guess I'm up against Neoforte now.

[Arek the Absolute]

HengDe has not reported in for quite a while, so sadly, he is out.

Redshadow now replaces HengDe on the bracket.

[Red Shadow]

now if only i can catch jam online

[HengDe]

Sorry, I've been PMing with Jam Stunna, who as of now still hasn't added me. I looked for him online last night and am online now waiting to see if he will come on. Here is our correspondence regarding yesterday:

me: hey, looks like we're up first. what times are good for you? I'm generally free around 11pm-1am est, most of the day mon and wed, all day friday, and weekend afternoons.

Jam: Those times are perfect. Let's add each other tonight and try to play our matches tonight. See you then.

me: hey, i checked a few times between 11 and 12 but didn't see you. i have a bit of schoolwork to catch up on though so i went to do that. but i'll be on tomorrow night. i'm on aim all the time, so it's easy to reach me on that too.

Please reconsider. I know I'm still a lurker around these parts, but I am committed to this. I was not aware posting in the main thread was required, and again apologize.

[Red Shadow]

yeah jam and i just played a bunch of really close matches, but didnt consider them as anything more than friendlies

waiting to see what happens here

[Jam Stunna]

Red Shadow and I are going to replay our marches tomorrow due to issues with communication and lag.

HengDe: I added your friend code, but I haven't been confirmed by you. However Arek decides to resolve this situation, I'll abide by that decision.

Linkspast: my wife is waiting for you to add us.

[HengDe]

that's odd because on my list, it still says "awaiting confirmation". i double checked the number with the one on the database yesterday, but i'll try re-adding you now to see if that fixes it.

edit: after double checking your code again, i deleted you and re-added you, but it still says awaiting registration.

[Dhsu]

Can't get a hold of this Sengen guy. If you're reading this, send me a PM or gimme a holler on #clanocr so we can work out a time.

[Arek the Absolute]

Well, since HengDe did pm you after all...guess Red Shadow takes my spot then.

Red Shadow will now be added into the tournament. Since I am now out, dPaladin will have to play his first round match again but this time with Red Shadow to make it fair for everyone.

And that is that...

EDIT: Here is the updated bracket

http://milkywaywishes.herograw.net/ocrbp4.JPG

[Red Shadow]

Well in the off chance that dpaladin is watching, shoot me a pm or something. Be home around 11 or 12 EST tonight.

[linkspast]

This is lame.. I want to play someone who I can get a hold of, Oceania has not even accepted me as a friend..

Has any one been able to play Jam?

[Jam Stunna]

This is lame.. I want to play someone who I can get a hold of, Oceania has not even accepted me as a friend..

We've already added you. We were waiting for you to confirm us.

HengDe- I don't have a PC, so I can't communicate with you about counterpicks during the match, unless you don't mind calling me. I'll send you my # in PM later if you want it. Same thing for your matches against my wife, linkspast.

EDIT- If my new PC doesn't arrive today by 9:00 PM EST, then my wife and I will forfeit our matches. It's too hard to communicate without AIM, and we're just holding people up at this point.

How do you confirm... all i get in my friend roster is a note next to your name saying, Awaiting registration

[Global-Trance]

One of you guys didn't input the Friend Code right.

[Jam Stunna]

^I don't know, but see the edit I made in the post above yours.

EDIT- I already double-checked your friend code.

[Steben]

Steben defeats NeoForte in a 3-0 Lucas mirror-match.

Dual cries of "PK Thunder" will forever haunt my dreams. D:

[HengDe]

sure, jam, i don't mind calling. I probably will be home tonight around the same time (11) so if that works for you, maybe we can figure this stuff out then.

[Arek the Absolute]

You two are people that have been in communication for a while. Don't forget.

HengDe is already comfortable callin uz guyz so stay k :)))

[HengDe]

ok i just went on and i see Jam, hes offline now but we're both registered. So we should be able to get our matches done tonight.

[Silent Mike]

So yeah has anyone seen JoeFu? I don't really have access to IRC.

[Scufo]

Blitzag! Calling Blitzag!

Check your PMs dood.

[dPaladin]

So yeah has anyone seen JoeFu? I don't really have access to IRC.
That's the only place I've ever seen him actually.

[Jam Stunna]

You two are people that have been in communication for a while. Don't forget.

HengDe is already comfortable callin uz guyz so stay k :)))

Thy will be done.

Hengde, how about we just list our counterpicks here? If I lose, my first counterpick will be Yoshi's Story, and if I lose again I'll take FD. These will pretty much be my picks throughout the tourney. I'll be on tonight HengDe.

My wife's counterpick will always be FD. linkspast, please list yours and we'll try to play tonight.

[Jam Stunna]

Defeated HengDe 3-0. I hate Meta-Knight.

G-T, I'll send you our second match, that was the only one I could save. You can pass it on to Arek.

[HengDe]

argh the lag

one second game, two seconds lag

you got me good the first round, but i think i started getting used to your techniques by the end...like dodging that missile you start with etc...just couldn't get through the lag lol

GGs

[Dhsu]

Sengin wins 3-1. All good/close matches though. Good luck to everyone else!

[linkspast]

I think I may have to drop out of this.. I dont have the time anymore... Good luck to the lot of you though.

[Arek the Absolute]

That is fine. I have nekofrog available to take your place.
Oceania, you are now to play Nekofrog.
Do whatever you guys did to play HengDe and things should be fine.

[Jam Stunna]

Allright Neko, we need your FC, and what your counterpicks will be. Remember, you're playing Oceania, but our FC is under my name, Jam.

[Lord.Roderick.i]

Has JonFu played SilentMike? and has RedShadow played dPaladin yet?

[Red Shadow]

yeah im in the losers bracket now

[Silent Mike]

Dunno where JoeFu is, he hasn't registered my code yet. And as mentioned earlier, I can't access IRC right now. Yeah.

[Arek the Absolute]

I will see what I can do about you two getting your match done. He is usually always on, so this is kind of odd for him...

Anyway, updated bracket:

http://www.milkywaywishes.herograw.net/ocrbp5.PNG

[HengDe]

Heng De wins against Azul v2 3-0. BTW, how do you save replays?

[Scufo]

Cynical beats blitzag 3-1.

[Critical Hit]

Heng De wins against Azul v2 3-0. BTW, how do you save replays?

If the match ends up being less than 3 minutes long in length, on the results screen you should have an option (press Z on the GCN controller if you're using that) to save it as a replay.

[Steben]

GGs to IbanezNinja, who took a 3-1 victory.

My Lucas outmatched his Olimar for the first match, but he then took the gloves off with Marth to defeat Lucas in matches 2 and 3. Finally, my switch to Toon Link didn't help me in the last match, with no less than 2 dair suicides. :oops:

Good luck to everyone left in the tourney, see you guys next time.

You're still not done, you're still in the loser's bracket. If you want of course, but Its always fun.

[Jam Stunna]

I lost 3-1 to Critical Hit in amazingly fun matches. My own counterpick was my undoing. Fucking FD! ;) Good games, man.

[Critical Hit]

AE/Rival beat me 3-0. First one he competely murdered me, the last two were much closer, but it was clear who's better, haha. Good matches man.

[Global-Trance]

I lost 3-1 to Critical Hit in amazingly fun matches. My own counterpick was my undoing. Fucking FD! ;) Good games, man.

How were you guys even able to play? Critical Hit is lagtastic.

[JoeFu]

Dunno where JoeFu is, he hasn't registered my code yet. And as mentioned earlier, I can't access IRC right now. Yeah.

Hey, sorry. Been kinda busy the past week, anyways I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon...

[Jam Stunna]

How were you guys even able to play? Critical Hit is lagtastic.

No johns!
10cl

[Eulogic]

Your lag with Critical Hit must not have been as bad as mine, because it was literally unplayable when I tried to play him. It took over half a minute to get through the 3-2-1-GO! I exited out as soon as it would let me.

[Critical Hit]

I was surprised myself, honestly. Jam must have an incredible connection or something, because my lag with him wasn't half as bad as with either of you. That being said, it wasn't poetry in motion either. (But it WAS pretty damn fun)

[Global-Trance]

Why is this tournament taking so long? D:

[Red Shadow]

because the internet

[Steben]

You're still not done, you're still in the loser's bracket. If you want of course, but Its always fun.

I lost in the loser's bracket, man. That means I'm out. :wink:

[Lord.Roderick.i]

I lost in the loser's bracket, man. That means I'm out. :wink:
Well, I didnt know that until now.
We should play more often though. :-)

[Global-Trance]

PLAY YOUR MATCHES PEOPLE.

Please.

[Red Shadow]

yeah this is

boring

[JoeFu]

k, i just lost

[Silent Mike]

Good matches though.

My Link won over his G&W.
His Olimar shitted on my Link.
My Wario just barely beat his Olimar.

[Global-Trance]

Good matches though.

My Link won over his G&W.
His Olimar shitted on my Link.
My Wario just barely beat his Olimar.

Uh. Isn't it best out of 5?

[Silent Mike]

Yeah I kind of realized that afterwords too. After the third match, he went offline and posted here. Guess he didn't know either.

JoeFu if you're on later we can finish it up since you still have another match.

[Arek the Absolute]

If everything remains as they are now, I am going to give out bis to a lot of people.

I have been getting a lot of messages from people who are waiting for their opponents and it is holding up this damn thing.

So ya, do your matches or expect to be eliminated by default.

[Theory of N]

well, uh...is it too late to join this? I'm in if it's not

[Smax]

I beat Tables 3-0. I have the last match saved.

Smax

[Global-Trance]

If everything remains as they are now, I am going to give out bis to a lot of people.

Byes is the right spelling.[/nazi]

[Arek the Absolute]

ill bi you

[The Derrit]

ill bi you

I don't know what private skittles is doing up there, but it sounds HOT!

[HengDe]

i'm paranoid of being eliminated because of last time. so just to let you know i'm in contact with Derrit and we planned to go tonight. he's on aim now but idle. perhaps he will return momentarily.

[The Derrit]

I beat HengDe 3-0.

[Scufo]

I can't play my match until Ocean and Nekofrog play their round, and then someone plays against Vintage.

So yeah what G-T said.

[Imagist]

I can't play my match until Ocean and Nekofrog play their round

same here

[IbanezNinja]

yeah what they said

[Eten]

And I can't play my match until Imagery plays his, so I'm just an extension of this.

[Lord.Roderick.i]

Im still waiting for JoeFu to finish playing their matches so one of them can fight dPaladin, so one of them can figtht me.
:(
Ive been waiting for over a week, I think.

[Silent Mike]

Yeah my bad guys.

[Jam Stunna]

Okay, got my PC, back on AIM. Anyone who needs/wants to play me, my AIM is rgs10168.

Nekofrog, my wife still needs to play you! Either AIM me or her, hers is Ladyheadphones.

[Lord.Roderick.i]

Man, this tournament is taking WAY too long.
Whats stalling it so much?
Play your matches people!

[Jam Stunna]

Hey Geoffry Taucer, looks like we're up next. When do you want to play?

[Scufo]

So is this tourney going down the tubes or what? I'd hate to see it fail because a few people aren't playing their matches.

Also a bracket update would be nice.

[Global-Trance]

lmao you guys are awful at this

[Arek the Absolute]

This is the current bracket. HELLO CURRENT BRACKET:

http://i28.tinypic.com/2dri7ft.png

I moved some people around giving people byes and what not.
If you want this thing to actually finish *though knowing ocr, nothing like this ever does*, then you are to finish your matches by 11:59 PM Tuesday the 8th.

If people don't, more byes will be given out.

[Scufo]

I can't see the bracket.

[dPaladin]

I can't see the bracket.
QFE.

Is there a problem with Arek's internets?

[Arek the Absolute]

Fixed the problem. Don't know what is up with my host...

[Scufo]

Looks good. Let's keep this sucker going. Looks like I'll finally be able to play my next match pretty soon.

[Jam Stunna]

Okay, Geoffry Taucer and I are having problems registering each other, but we'll be playing soon.

Vintage, I'm registering you tonight so hopefully you and my wife can play. Contact us on AIM at either rgs10168 (mine) or LadyHeadphones (hers).

[Imagist]

Yeah, I'm out of this. I don't have the time any more and I probably would've lost anyway. Sorry for not letting you know earlier.

[Eten]

Beat Ibanezninja 1-3.

[atmuh]

uh i havent played in this thing in forever where the balls are you people

[Red Shadow]

im not entirely sure how i should get ahold of joefu

PMs do not seem to work

[Lord.Roderick.i]

So, is this thing canceled?

[RocketSniper]

Damn, I wish I had found out about this sooner.

Oh well, little late now... Good luck to the brawlers :razz:

[Jarvi]

So, is this thing canceled?

It seems like it's stalling for a bit.

[Jam Stunna]

I defeated Geoffrey Taucer 3-1 in extremely close matches. Too bad none of them were short enough to record.

EDIT- Has anyone heard from Vintage? Man, my wife has the worst luck with opponents.

[Steben]

thedon's never going to play his matches, because he's too lazy to track down his opponent. Just drop him or replace him.

[Global-Trance]

Horrible tournament.

[Red Shadow]

yeah this is pretty ridiculous

i still cant get ahold of joefu

[dPaladin]

Yeah, it certainly seems hard to get in touch with people around here. The chess tournaments always have this problem.

[Sengin]

Whatever happened to the 2-day thing? If you haven't played your match in 2 days, the one who has been trying to get in contact gets to move on and the other misses out.

[Lord.Roderick.i]

So, if Sengin is right I'll just go ahead and fight A-Rival so we can move on and fight GT.

[Silent Mike]

Yeah, it certainly seems hard to get in touch with people around here. The chess tournaments always have this problem.

Damn I was on all night last night. I'll be on tomorrow night.

[Red Shadow]

sorry arek everybody killed it
