The one and only CAG Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament! Beef vs. JoeB, FINALS!!!!

[Drnick]

Well Amigo, it looks like its going to be me and you in round 4. I'm getting nervous as we get into these later rounds, lol

[dyeknom]

Dr. Nick, wanna play some brawl w/ meh? :P

[AmigoOne]

Wait, what?
How do you know already?

[Mr. Beef]

There's no doubt in my mind that there woud be more CAG Brawl tournaments, but I don't think I'd want to host another one. Not to say that I didn't like doing it, but I think it's best to let someone else take the helm.

...I'd like to think I did an ok job, anyways.

Also, to dyeknom, I may be free to play later tonight. I'm posting from work right now, so I don't have time to update the front page with results right now, but when I get back home, I'll drop you a message, and we can see when we'll have some time.

@AmigoOne: It's easy enough to tell who you're going to be fighting in the next round if you look at the roster. I post the pairings in the order from the bracket I made, top to bottom.

[Drnick]

Dr. Nick, wanna play some brawl w/ meh? :P

sure, I"ll send you a PM

[dyeknom]

k beef, keep me updated :)

Nice fights Dr. Nick. I do think I should stay away from Wolf >.< Kept rushing off the sides.

You've done a great job, Beef. I don't think anyone here would disagree with that. And no one blames you for not wanting to organize another tournament. These things are crazy. :bouncy:

That said, I don't think we should have another one right away, as at that point the results might be rather . . . redundant. But, meh.

Looks like next round I'm going up against KhaosX. I've never played him before - it should be fun!

[Drnick]

k beef, keep me updated :)

Nice fights Dr. Nick. I do think I should stay away from Wolf >.< Kept rushing off the sides.

thank, same to you, the first battle I didn't chose my character and it chose Olimar for me (who I'm horrable with) and you destroyed me, haha. but after that they were good for a while, the last 2 or 3 fights I had some pretty bad lag issues, (had a few times where the fight actually stopped for a second or two, never had that happen before) did you have any of those issues as well?

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

I'd gladly join another CAG tourney.
This time, I'll actually play before I enter. :lol:

[KhaosX]

Oh yea this should be interesting... But i got to say you're going DOWN! 8-)

[JoeB1233]

Oh yea this should be interesting... But i got to say you're going DOWN! 8-)

Hehe! Well, the stakes are high for this bout - the winners of this next round are guaranteed at least fourth place.

I will warn you of one thing - I'm stubborn as hell. ;)

[dyeknom]

Yeah, I was having the same problem. My roommate kept asking why I was staring at screen shots -_-'' It seemed to be worst when I had bowser out.

[Drnick]

Yeah, I was having the same problem. My roommate kept asking why I was staring at screen shots -_-'' It seemed to be worst when I had bowser out.

haha! yeah I did notice it more with bowser... it didn't make it unplayable though, just a little more difficult.

[Mr. Beef]

And yeah, having another one right off the bat might make it feel a bit rushed. Whoever makes the next thread, hopefully they choose to wait.

k beef, keep me updated :)

Nice fights Dr. Nick. I do think I should stay away from Wolf >.< Kept rushing off the sides.I should be free this afternoon. I get off work around 3-ish, and I should be home around 4-ish...which means I'll be online between 4 and 5. Pacific, remember!

[dyeknom]

I have class from 2-8 CST, so 6 PM PST?

[Mr. Beef]

6 PM is perfect. Look for me online, then we can settle this.

[Riyonuk]

Mr. Beef, sorry I couldn't advance far enough to fight you. I had a bad day :/

[AmigoOne]

Dr. Nick when are you good? Im in PST, Im good for Tuesdays from 6, Wednesdays from 5-7, or 910pm or later.

[dyeknom]

Class let out early Beef, I'll jump on there now if you're on.

[Mr. Beef]

good games, but what was up with that disconnect at the very end?

[dyeknom]

System froze, something that happened throughout playing on Final Destination the first time. Beyond me why you picked it a second time since we got only minor spurts on battlefield, but it froze entirely on the FD at least three times. Lesson learned though, gonna have to start hosting for level pref.

[Mr. Beef]

ah. shame, since i was about to win, too. ;)

[dyeknom]

Meh, all it takes is one life to knock off two, but it's almost not worth finishing with that lag sported by FD. If it's on your end, you should stick with Battlefield or Shadow Moses Island online imo

[bardiya27]

gg evergoo, i had my chance in that second game and blew it, and that 3rd game was just abysmal on my part, Yoshi's lack of a 3rd jump killed me on that second KO!


good luck in the rest of the tournament

[evergoo]

Great game Bardiya. Besides giving me my first lost in this tournament, you scared me to death on Match 2. Honestly, it could have gone either way.

Match 1: bardiya d. evergoo (3-2)
Match 2: evergoo d. bardiya (3-2)
Match 3: evergoo d. bardiya (3-0)

[Drnick]

Dr. Nick when are you good? Im in PST, Im good for Tuesdays from 6, Wednesdays from 5-7, or 910pm or later.

I probably won't be free tomorrow.. so wednesday anytime after 5 (est)

is round 3 over yet? I don't want to get ahead of the tourney, playing round 4 games before round 3 is done.

[Mr. Beef]

Those were some good games, yo. The unexpected Bowser ditto was fun, too.

[dyeknom]

Lol I tried to hug you off the stage, but aiming that is a pita.

[Mr. Beef]

So if all the matches are done, I'll go ahead and update the front page tomorrow. Good night, all.

[JoeB1233]

An Ultimatum To KhaosX:

First and foremost, you will be pummeled, beaten, destroyed, decimated, crushed, abused, maimed, bruised, battered, and demoralized by the time our matches are over.

That said, I demand we play today. Why? Because if I don't fulfill my aforementioned promise, I've got the perfect excuse!

April Fools! I let you win!

My defense mechanisms are top notch...

EDIT: lol! Let me clear something up - I'm actually not swearing anywhere in this post. Those two words refer to today. Sounds like I'm saying "Eff you! I let you win." Which I'm not saying isn't an option, but I'm just not at that point yet. ;)

[Mr. Beef]

Pairings for Round 4 are up. I'm getting kinda nervous here, because I was hoping that since Strell was at the opposite end of the bracket, I wouldn't have to face him. But since he's being so stubborn and he just won't go down in defeat, I'm afraid that I might have to do it myself in the finals.

That's right, future opponents. I'm going through you to get to Strell.

Also evergoo, I should be free to play sometime tomorrow afternoon. I get off work at 2, and I should get home around 3-ish. Drop me a line around then, and we'll play. IF YOU DARE.

too late to join the tourney, ay?

lol, are schools allowed to join the NCAA tourney in the elite 8? ;-)

I'm sure they will be others. I know I'll be down for another

Hey, man, are you telling me I've already lost? :-(

Strell - I'm free to play anyday after 12:00 PST, so let me know when you're game.

[Strell]

Strell - I'm free to play anyday after 12:00 PST, so let me know when you're game.

Don't listen to Beef. I can't even convince myself I've actually gotten this far.

12 Pacific, so 2 PM for me, so another 1.5 hours.

Sounds good - I need to practice a bit before we play, but I'll be around at that time if that's good with you.

[JoeB1233]

lol, are schools allowed to join the NCAA tourney in the elite 8? ;-)

Actually, I'd like to throw my name in for coordinator for the next tournament. I don't know who decides who does it, but there it is.

Don't listen to Beef. I can't even convince myself I've actually gotten this far.

I have identical feelings on my own situation.

[aTOH]

Damn, didn't think you'd be ready right away.

If you have AIM, we could discuss stage decisions and stuff there. My SN is s3sa3dp4dp4dp6. Logging in right now.

[Strell]

Don't have AIM on the comp I'm at, sorry.

I'm going to add your FC.

As far as stages go, I'm basically fine with anything except a moving stage. Since some issues popped up during the tourney, I've just gone straight Final Destination for the time being.

Do you want to make the room or me?

[Mr. Beef]

Hey, man, are you telling me I've already lost? :-(Oh, I'm just talking harmless smack. Truthfully, I almost had a heart attack when I was playing dyeknom. That GnW is a savage.

Actually, I'd like to throw my name in for coordinator for the next tournament. I don't know who decides who does it, but there it is.
I don't think there's really someone who "chooses" who makes the next tournament thread. I suppose someone could call it, in which case you would win it. I'm guessing that the honors would go to whoever wants it more.

[aTOH]

You could make it. I don't like moving stages either, so I'll stick to the Final Destination-type stages. See you on Brawl.

Mr. Beef - Yeah, I know, haha. But unless my lucky streak continues, you might be getting your wish after all.

[Strell]

GGs aTOH.

I'm out.

[aTOH]

Alright, just finished my matches with Strell. I ended up winning 2-1.

1st match on Battlefield - aTOH(Ness) < Strell(Zelda)
2nd match on Smashville - aTOH(ROB) > Strell(Kirby)
3rd match on Final Destination - aTOH(ROB) > Strell(Luigi)

I ain't gonna lie, man, these matches had me worrying a helluva lot more than my other ones. I feel a lot more comfortable winning my first match. Even a win with Ness makes me more calm. But, you're damn nice with rolls and dodges and shields. Something I need to incorporate more into my gameplay =/

GGs again, Strell.

[Strell]

I need to remind myself it's probably best to not practice against level 9 comps before matches, since that can throw off my timing. :]

Anyway, good games. I figured you'd pick Rob, and I wanted to practice against him, but didn't have him unlocked. That would have been something I should have done last night or something.

But yes, good games. Good luck!

[Mr. Beef]

Strell out? I'm surprised. Nothing against aTOH, of course, but I've played Strell, and...wow.

[Strell]

I don't know Rob's moveset or how far his attacks stretch! His downA smash is brutal since it'll hit about 10 times.

This is NOT to say aTOH didn't play very well - as he certainly did, and deserved to win. I'll be back though, hopefully after unlocking Rob and learning how to get past all his tricks.

[KhaosX]

JoeB, when are you going to be available?

[JoeB1233]

JoeB, when are you going to be available?

We can play now. Are you available?

[KhaosX]

lets do it to it

[zitanix]

If you find out, let me know. My friend complains whenever I use Rob against him because he has no idea how to fight him, and, well, the only person I've ever played who used Rob was aTOH.

[JoeB1233]

Alright, good luck!

Oh, and don't forget to turn individual item frequencies to 'Off'. Otherwise, I throw capsules and shtuff.

EDIT: Holy crap, is my heart racing. Khaos, those were the closest tourney games I've ever played. Here's the breakdown.

@Battlefield - King Dedede (JoeB1233) d. Pit (KhaosX)
@Final Destination - Pit (KhaosX) d. King Dedede (JoeB1233)
@Battlefield - King Dedede (JoeB1233) d. Pit (KhaosX)

Those were such fun games! Gosh, Khaos, that was awesome. You have a great Pit (although, I figured that out last night)! Let's play again soon!

[KhaosX]

oh man.. first loss and i lose it all.. I was so close too. The platforms of Battlefield always gets me killed. Oh well gg. Joe beat me 2 -1

Oh, and just for kicks... FuckFuck I let you win!!

[JoeB1233]

Oh, and just for kicks... FuckFuck I let you win!!

lol! Khaos, you're the greatest. *tear wipe*

[Mr. Beef]

Hey evergoo, I'm ready when you are. My AIM ain't working at the moment, so sorry if I can't contact ya.

[Strell]

If anyone knows how to play Rob (aTOH *cough*) and are available tonight for some matches, I'd greatly appreciate it. I needs practimacice.

[aTOH]

I'm game. I have to admit though, Ness is actually my main, and ROB's my backup, so I haven't fully grasped his gamestyle. I win with ROB since he happens to be higher on my tier list =/

When's tonight?

[Strell]

No real plans tonight to my knowledge, but generally the later the better for me. I'd say anytime after 9 Central (7 PST) would work best.

[evergoo]

Hey evergoo, I'm ready when you are. My AIM ain't working at the moment, so sorry if I can't contact ya.

Hey Mr. Beef, I'm online right now and created a room. Sorry for the delay. I've been doing FFAs for awhile now with some CAGs.

[aTOH]

I'll be on from 8p/10c through most of the night, so catch you guys later.

[ratzombie]

Way to disappoint your fans, Strell.

I already know who is going to win this tournament. evergoo.

[crystalklear64]

Way to disappoint your fans, Strell.

I already know who is going to win this tournament. evergoo.
Based on who's left and who I've played, I'd agree.

[evergoo]

Based on who's left and who I've played, I'd agree.

Thanks for the compliments guys, but based on who I've played against 1-on-1 it will be JoeB's King Dedede. Fuck that Penguin to hell!

[AmigoOne]

Strell, do you want to have a practice with me before I go with my next round? I only played you for a couple rounds that one time and I want to see how you play, since you ARE the wii forums star internet personality.

[KhaosX]

Thanks for the compliments guys, but based on who I've played against 1-on-1 it will be JoeB's King Dedede. Fuck that Penguin to hell!

His King Dedede is crazy. Just when i figure a way out to counter his chain grab, he counters back. And maybe its just me, but his damn use of waddledees messes with me both defensively and offensively.

[UltimoRey]

His King Dedede is crazy. Just when i figure a way out to counter his chain grab, he counters back. And maybe its just me, but his damn use of waddledees messes with me both defensively and offensively.
The only thing I've found that remotely works is ZSSamus, but that was with lag, so who knows.

[Strell]

Amigo - if you haven't played your round, I'd be happy to throw down for a while.

aTOH: Make Rob your main. Son of a bitch. He and I played some 15 rounds or so last night, with him using Rob the whole time and me switching around different characters, and I maybe only 3-4 matches. I learned a lot, though, so I'm slowly working my way up to taking Rob out. But damn - he just has INSANE priority and range with all of his air attacks, and his down smash is brutal.

Not to mention the little eye laser and rotating gyro attacks are very powerful after a while.

[Drnick]

Are Amigo and I the last ones left for this round?

We are going to try and get out game done tonight around 6pm EST.

I just hope the lag isn't bad because hes on the west coast and I'm on the east.... thats been my BIGGEST complaint about playing on-line. I tried to play a 4 person game last night, dear god, it was unplayable. The worst I've had in ANY on-line console game this generation for sure

[zitanix]

aTOH is on the west coast and I'm on the east coast, and our matches were pretty good, except for a few blips in the first round. 1v1 seems a lot smoother than FFAs online.

[evergoo]

Are Amigo and I the last ones left for this round?

No, you're not the only ones.

I'm still waiting to finish my beef ;-)

[dmunkee]

I just hope the lag isn't bad because hes on the west coast and I'm on the east....

I also live on the east coast, and my round 3 match with Amigo was lag-free. So hopefully everything should be fine for your match Drnick ;)

[Mr. Beef]

Man, I got work all day today and tomorrow, so it's gonna be tough for me to get my match done with (posting from work is fun!). Hopefully I won't have to extend the deadline for myself, but if I can't get it done tonight, then I might have to.

I want to make sure I clean up all this goo that's bugging me. Man, that joke was awful.

[ratzombie]

Yes, yes it was.

[AmigoOne]

Dont worry about it beef, I have to go in about in some time, and if Dr. Nick doesnt respond I wont be able to play.

[JoeB1233]

Geez, upper bracket, get going! All four of us in the lower group have already played!

Hehe, just kidding. :)

[Mr. Beef]

Ok, evergoo, I'm heading home now. Get ready to play me in exactly one hour from the time I post this.

...Or PM me if you can't, whatever.

[WiiNet]

Hmm... wish I hadn't missed this. Tagger for the second tourney.

[Mr. Beef]

Damn evergoo, you got a nice Ike. Good games.

[evergoo]

Damn evergoo, you got a nice Ike. Good games.

GG beef. Good luck in the Final Four and the Finals.

I never fought against a good Mario in Brawl. That's why your FLUDD surprised me. Didn't know he could do that.

Also, sorry for playing like crap and quitting in games 4 and after. My neighbor was bugging me with his excessive talking. It was really getting on my nerves to the point where I made silly mistakes.

EDIT: It's so relieving to lose. No more pressure now.

[Drnick]

Sorry to everyone in the tourney for holding up this round, I got stuck at work and then sidetracked after... hopefully Amigo and I can get this taken care of tomorrow when I get out of work.

[ratzombie]

What the hell!?

Who am I going to root for now? Beef? Pfffft. :lol:

[JoeB1233]

Sorry to everyone in the tourney for holding up this round, I got stuck at work and then sidetracked after... hopefully Amigo and I can get this taken care of tomorrow when I get out of work.

Hey, guy, don't worry about it. The deadline isn't for another ~24 hours. You've still got time. :)

Another note: as the tournament progresses, I can see more and more why Beef organized it. Self-gratification, yes? :-k

Only kidding, of course!

[aTOH]

Mr. Beef - The top 4 players all get prizes, right?

I have a feeling I won't progress much farther =/

[ratzombie]

Your participation is the prize I believe.

If there is a second tournament, perhaps we can all pitch in for prizes. I was thinking of gifting a Wii VC game.

[JoeB1233]

Mr. Beef - The top 4 players all get prizes, right?

:grouphug:

I would taunt you, but that's silly at this point. You've done great to get this far - you beat Strell of all people! You shouldn't underestimate yourself.

Plus, I think our match is going to be spectacular, regardless of who wins.

[Strell]

What is this. Why so many people expected me to win?

[Mad D]

My brawl sparring partners are in the final four rounds. Go JoeB!

edit:

Aw, goo is out.


Wish I had time to join when this started, maybe next time.

I didn't expect you to win per se, but I do know that you're a great competitor, and that pride should be taken from any defeat given to you. :)

(This is gross - I'm being so positive.)

EDIT: aTOH, your wall of clapping smilies is strangely hypnotizing.

[evergoo]

I've been meaning to do this for awhile and now I finally have the chance. Here's the 64-man (62, actually) bracket for this tourney. I'll update it again once the Final Four are left.

Mr. Beef, feel free to post this on the OP if you'd like.

Beef plays Mario now? I wanna see this in action! His Kirby and Lucario are already excellent.

Beef plays Mario now? I wanna see this in action! His Kirby and Lucario are already excellent.I started practicing with Mario about a week ago, ever since I learned that he's an excellent counter-pick to Ike, GDorf, and the Earthbound kids.

[Mr. Beef]

So it looks like Drnick and AmigoOne are the last ones left before the round is over. If you guys think you might need an extension, or if you've already played, make sure to speak before midnight tonight.

EDIT: Bracket is under a spoiler in the second post now. Thanks, evergoo!

[AmigoOne]

Im good to go, but I am going to have to leave in about 2 hours of the time this was posted. And I'll be pretty dang busy for the rest of the day, hopefully DrNick gets on in time.

[Drnick]

I'm here, waiting for you... within the 2 hours you said... but i don't see you on-line...

hopefully you come on soon, i have to leave in like 20 minutes

I've had a pretty hectic schedule this week.... more so than usual.

if we can't get together tonight, I'm free right after work tomorrow (5pm est)

[Mr. Beef]

So have you two had your match yet? If not, then I can extend the deadline...again.

[ratzombie]

Save the replays for the semi-finals guys, unless it goes on for more than 3 minutes of course.

[AmigoOne]

Well, I forfeit then. This is becoming more of a hassle than I would ever expect it to be. DrNick can go ahead and move on to round 5.

[JoeB1233]

If blue comes in here and happens to see this: When are you typically available during the week? I'd like to have you sit in on my match with aTOH and record it. Thanks in advance for any response you might give. :)

EDIT: aTOH, when are you available for le match? That's French for 'the match.'

[Mr. Beef]

Well, I forfeit then. This is becoming more of a hassle than I would ever expect it to be. DrNick can go ahead and move on to round 5.

Are you really sure? I can give you two the rest of the day, if you want.

[AmigoOne]

We already had our match. There were problems with the lag so I just started messing around and realized I was using dick moves to win. So ya, I'm ok with it, its too nerve wracking anyway.

[Drnick]

well, I appreciate you doing this Amigo, but I'm totally willing to play on sunday as we discussed before. let me know what you want to do

[Mr. Beef]

Well, if AmigoOne is deciding to forfeit, then I'm not going to delay the round any longer. I suppose this means Drnick is the winner, and we can move along to the next round. Front page should be updated by the time this is read.

This also means that I am going against Drnick. You'd better say your final goodbyes to "everybody," since you are going down.

[Drnick]

Well, if AmigoOne is deciding to forfeit, then I'm not going to delay the round any longer. I suppose this means Drnick is the winner, and we can move along to the next round. Front page should be updated by the time this is read.

haha alright. for the record Amigo and i tried to play on sunday, but we had no success, both of us were online but the other was listed as "offline" we tried rebooting our Wii's and signing back in, with no luck.

hopefully nintendo can fix their shitty servers in time for the next round.

:-s

What was Amigo talking about, then?

We already had our match. There were problems with the lag so I just started messing around and realized I was using dick moves to win. So ya, I'm ok with it, its too nerve wracking anyway.

Also, there are no servers to fix. Peer to peer! :)

[Drnick]

Nintendo DOES have servers... (when you hit connect to wi-fi, it has to connect to something, right?)

but when you play a game, it hands it off to peer to peer..... but we couldn't even get to that point. so I blame the servers, and nintendo for their shitty rendition of on-line gaming, this friend code nonsense needs to stop.

Ah, I see. Of course that's right. Well, hopefully this is a one-hit wonder. :bouncy:

[AmigoOne]

Ya something was iffy with nintendo online. I couldnt connect at all later in the day.

[JoeB1233]

Okay, aTOH and I had our matches. They were very close, except when he schooled my Zelda with his Ness. Here are the results:

@Battlefield - King Dedede (JoeB1233) d. Ness (aTOH)
@Smashville - King Dedede (JoeB1233) d. R.O.B. (aTOH)
@Yoshi's Island - Ness (aTOH) d. Zelda (JoeB1233)

Winner: JoeB1233

Great games, aTOH, and thanks for being so accomodating!

Yikes... another sweep with DDD
I wonder how far i coulda gone if you hadn't done me in =/

[JoeB1233]

Well, I guess that's the vice of randomly-seeded tournaments (nothing against the organization - there's no other way of doing it at the outset). Personally, I can think of several players who were eliminated early just because they were pitted against a slightly better player, or luck just was not on their side (Arikado, evergoo, Veronica Mars, maigoyume, yourself). I don't know if there is a way to eliminate this problem. Any suggestions?

That's just the nature of the random seeding beast. I got matched up against Beef in round two... I was hoping I'd see him in the later rounds. He beat me 3-2 and 3-2, so at least we had a solid match out of it.

[crystalklear64]

Lols, he was my first match.

[evergoo]

Here's an update to the bracket, which includes JoeB1233 going to the finals (good luck, Joe).

And to BlueLobstah, JoeB1233, and the other finalist: Do you mind coordinating with one another so that we may see a recorded match of the finals? We all know it'll last >3 minutes and I think a lot of us would love to see the best of the best duke it out.

[ratzombie]

So we are doing another tournament after this one? I'd love to participate again since I got eliminated in the Round 1. :lol:

We could (if time and people permit) do round-robin, and accumulate points with wins. Then after everyone is done, the group with the most wins finish it off tournament style... Sorta like in major league sports. The only problem i see is it is too difficult to have everyone play everyone in a orderly fashion.

Perhaps we could look at this 1st tourney and pre-determine the seeds for all the winners (seeding depends on how far one gets), while the 1st round losers/newcomers can receive the bottom seeds (losers receive lower seeds than newcomers). After determining the numeric seeds of all 64 participants (e.g. 4 #1's, 4 #2's, ...), we would randomize each participant's division placement. All in all, this might make pairings more fair and maybe even allow us to see some upsets.

OR...

we could ignore this idea b/c ppl won't agree to it or there is a better methodology.

Just my two cents.

EDIT: I hope my idea was easy to understand XD

[Strell]

How about for the next tourney, I get a cake. But nobody else can get a cake.

I get the cake.

I like the idea of seeding because it reserves the most exciting matches for the very end. I would not be against this at all. My only reservation is that new competitors might be deterred if they're pitted against, say, the previous champion. It's hard to accommodate new players with this set-up.

Another idea is to incorporate KhaosX's idea, and have a round-robin preliminary stage. My thought is we could integrate seedings at that point. So, say, 64 people enter. We could have 16 divisions, each with four people. We could place people in the different divisions according to their seeds (doing our best to avoid high-ranking match-ups). Then, the person with the best record (or the top two people with the best records, depending on what we want) would continue on to a single-elimination bracket. This set-up ensures that everyone plays at least three times, and also reserves the best fights for bracket play.

I'm glad we're already talking about the next tournament! :bouncy: I'm giddy.

EDIT: I realize I read evergoo's idea wrong. Bleh.

I like that idea since it incorporates seeding and makes sure the real winners advance to the next round. Plus it gives people (who would not otherwise advance far) a chance to have more fun in the tourney. The only problem I see is that this tourney method will drag out longer (see #'s below)

Anyways, here are the # of matches it would take to finish a tourney (64-man):

Single-Elimination 63 (32+16+8+4+2+1)
Round-Robin First Round w/ 1 Advancing 79 (6x16+8+4+2+1)
Round-Robin First Round w/ 2 Advancing 95 (6x16+16+8+4+2+1)

Thanks for running the numbers evergoo. :) I guess we can safely say that it probably isn't feasible for us to have two people advance from each division. That, in all likelihood, would take too long to execute.

How do you think we should choose? Maybe we should get the opinion of some of the people around here.

I REALLY like this idea. :)

[ratzombie]

I think we should go that route, since the first time we were unsure of each person's abilities, but now we know how everyone stacks up and can set the seeds accordingly.

[Mr. Beef]

I like everyone's ideas, mainly because I probably wouldn't be behind organizing it. ;)

I'll see if there's a way I can try and record the final match, that is to say if I get there. I still have to face Drnick, and no amount of quips from him shall stop me.

"Inflammable is the same as flammable? What a country!"

[maigoyume]

i'd definitely be interested in another tourney

[AmigoOne]

mee tooo

[WiiNet]

I like the seeding idea too. I might be able to lend some time to setting it up (depending on the number of participants).

[KhaosX]

im in for another, but i have this gut feeling that we wont get all 60ish participants like we did the first time around.

[WiiNet]

Smaller is easier to organize!

[zitanix]

I'm all for another tournament too, but I'd prefer double elimination.

I don't see a problem with round robins considering this is online, and the only time constraints would be self-imposed (as opposed to renting a room for a day in the case of a regular tournament, for example).

[JoeB1233]

Oh. Well, it seems everyone approves of a seeding system.

But what about tournament format? Did we want round-robin preliminaries with bracket finals play (see post #624), single-elimination bracket play (current format), or double-elimination bracket play? Or another format I haven't mentioned? Should we vote on it? How should it be determined?

EDIT: Here's to give everyone an idea of the longevity of each format, assuming 64 competitors (ie number of matches needed for tournament completion, number of guaranteed matches):
Single-Elimination 63 Matches (32+16+8+4+2+1), 1 Guaranteed Match
Double-Elimination 93 Matches WB(32+16+8+4+2+1) LB(8+8+4+4+2+2+1+1), 2 Guaranteed Matches
Round-Robin Prelims 79 Matches (6x16+8+4+2+1), 3 Guaranteed Matches

Thanks to evergoo for most of these numbers!

EDIT2: And this is entirely unrelated, but should we have a consolation match for the current tournament, to determine 3rd and 4th seed? I mean, it's entirely up to aTOH and ???.

[Arikado]

Oh. Well, it seems everyone approves of a seeding system.

But what about tournament format? Did we want round-robin preliminaries with bracket finals play (see post #624), single-elimination bracket play (current format), or double-elimination bracket play?

I think we should wait until this tourney is over with and then start gathering interest for a second one. Format could be decided once we get an idea of how many people want to play. With a smaller number, seeding/double elimination/round-robin wouldn't take as long and might run smoother.

[cheapwiigamer]

I like the idea of round robin or at least double elimination style. I feel like I'm about middle of the pack when it comes to playing the game so being knocked after round one is a little disappointing. I also just have to get better.

[Strell]

Cake for me only appears imminent and draws near.

Command?

>Eat cake and share with no one else.

Success!

[KhaosX]

Lets say we have start with 64 participants, instead of doing a full round-robin, we can split it into groups

Lets say:
4 groups, 16 participants each, round robin style (15 games for each person)

top 4 seeds of each group advance and it becomes 16 participants

1 group of 16, round robin (15 games for each person)

top 8 seeds put into a playoff tournament bracket; (1 - 3 games played)

maximum games for 1st and 2nd place, 33
minimum games for anyone, 15

If the games played for each player is too much, more groups can be made with smaller # of participants in each group)


Just my thought.

[ratzombie]

Seems like a bit much, considering some people couldn't even play their matches on time when they only had one game to play.

[Mr. Beef]

Strell can have all the cake he wants, as long as it's coconut.

Hell no. Coconut is the fruit of Hades.

Hey Drnick. If you're ready, let's play now.

[Drnick]

Well, Beef and I finally had our match

Drnick (Link) D. Beef (Lucario)
Beef (Kirby) d. Dr Nick (Link)
Beef (Kirby) d. Dr nick (link)

match 2 was VERY close..... I thought I was going to do the impossible and knock of Beef..... round 3 was just a housing... good games!

ah well, GoooooOOOOOOOO JOE!

Here's an update to the tourney bracket (Mr. Beef vs. JoeB1233).

http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/8387/smashtourneyfinalszc8.th.png (http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smashtourneyfinalszc8.png)

I'm rootin' for JoeB since we're brawl buddies, but I have a feeling Mr. Beef is gonna find some way to counter his mains.

And looking back at Mr. Beef's track record, he took down Arikado, dyeknom, me, and Drnick. Damn that's impressive.

[Mr. Beef]

Drnick had me sweating bullets during our entire set. I seriously considered Kirby-ciding, or at least thought about attempting to do so. You have the best Link I've seen yet, Nick.

[Drnick]

Drnick had me sweating bullets during our entire set. I seriously considered Kirby-ciding, or at least thought about attempting to do so. You have the best Link I've seen yet, Nick.

Thanks, I appreciate that compliment from such a skilled player. I have to say when we first played and I saw Lucario my thoughts were "WTF?!"... but about 30 seconds into the match I could see why you picked him. I've never played against a lucario like that. (I had no idea his recovery was so effective, there were 3 times when I thought you were done, no possible way of getting back, and then he jumped like 15 feet and grabs the stage)

Your Kirby is top notch as well, after round 2 I thought about switch to Fox, but out 2nd round match was so close I thought I might be able to pull it out, boy was I wrong, lol.

I didn't record match 1 or 2 (were they too long? or did I just miss that screen?)

but I did record match 3.. (honestly, not my best match, I'd be sort of shamed to put it on-line, lol, but I can send it to you if you didn't save it beef)

Good luck Beef, I'm Rootin for ya (always helps ease the pain a little if you get beat by the eventual champ)

[Mr. Beef]

This weekend is looking very busy for me, so I don't know when exactly I'll be able to play our match. I should be able to have all the answers as early as tomorrow evening, however. I'll make the updates when I do.

[UltimoRey]

[Mr. Beef]

Oh, don't worry. With all this free time we'll have over the weekend, it'll give you a chance to practice your lines for when you lose.

"Man, I totally had you!"
"Gosh, that was unexpected."
"Curse you, Beef!"

[ratzombie]

Is your friend going to set up the recording rig or whatever, Mr. Beef? We all want to see the final matches damn it. ;)

[hero101]

Yeah, we damn to see those skills at the finals so we analysis your weak spots and destroy the both of you...:lol:

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Those two are really good.
I haven't gone against both of em in awhile, though.
Good luck to both of you.

[mofo1115]

This makes me feel a little better since I lost to Joe in the first round. ^^

[Mr. Beef]

Unfortunately, my friend hasn't given me an answer in the past few days, so I'm going to assume that it's a no for me to be able to record the matches. THEREFORE, I'll be able to play against JoeB1233, aka Joe "I suck at Brawl" B, sometime this week. Possibly tomorrow or Wednesday.

GO FOR BROKE!!

[ratzombie]

Boooooooooo!

I'm going for Joe then.

[AmigoOne]

[Arikado]

TRIUMPH OR DIE!!!

[Mr. Beef]

Uh-oh, a new challenger has interrupted the tournament!!

[JoeB1233]

Well, I'm going to PM Blue and see if he'd like to record the match by starting and then self-destructing three times. That will give us at least ten good seconds of taunting!

Also, did you want to do an extended set, or just stick with best out of three? Either way, I'm fine with it.

EDIT: Oh, sorry. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

EDIT2: Gosh, I'm in such poor form today. Mr. Beef is going to lose so much, Jenny Craig is going to be asking him for advice!

[Veronica Mars]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!



Lol.
Them is fighting words.

[Mr. Beef]

I hope that Blue hops in our matches just to record them. Should I make a special taunt just for him? I'll think about it. Either that, or my lazy friend will contact me and we can record our matches normally, which would also mean that I would have to use his Wii and his Brawl Code. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Also, I was going to ask you if you wanted to do 3/5 instead of 2/3 for our finals match. I would love to do 3/5, but if you're scared, we can end it quickly.

As the current President of Dreamland, I need to step things up with Kirby, Metaknight and D3. I'd ask for your help on how to use D3, Joe, but I realized that I don't need advice on how to fail.

Also, a thread on how King D3 is the greatest character in the game: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=139061
Plenty of lulz to be had.

It's the finals, I think 3/5 is required.

P.S. My fighting words failed against him =(

[JoeB1233]

Well, my Google search for 'scathing taunt' yielded nothing, so I suppose I'll take his remark. Good thing for Beef too - words are all he has.

[Mr. Beef]

Just got done talking with my friend, and he said he'd record the games. I don't know how much room he has to record with, so I'll just have to make this match a shutout. It's a shame too, since I enjoy building suspence.

[JoeB1233]

Oh, good news! Well, what time are you and your friend available?

[crystalklear64]

2/3, changing stuff mid tourney not cool.

[Arikado]

2/3, changing stuff mid tourney not cool.

Both finalists agreed to make the finals 3/5. If there's an agreement, what's the big deal?

[crystalklear64]

Me and my partner agreed we won the tournament.

[JoeB1233]

Well, I sure don't see a reason why not. Do you have a reason for us not to? (ie Do you know one of us to have more stamina than the other?)

Normally, tournaments have extended final sets. Yes, it should have been stipulated earlier, but I don't see how it's going to give an advantage either way.

[crystalklear64]

Its not the deed, its the principle.

[JoeB1233]

I see. Is there any way to do this to appease both parties? Besides me just utterly pwning Beef and getting 2/3 and 3/5? ;)

[crystalklear64]

Make it even and have everyone else play more matches.

[Arikado]

Make it even and have everyone else play more matches.

Joke post?

[UltimoRey]

Make it even and have everyone else play more matches.
It's not like half the people played differntly, it's just the finals. Adding more allows them to show their skills off more and entertains us for longer. Also if the leader after 3 still wins, it won't matter.

[JoeB1233]

Well, I wouldn't worry about it much, really. There are only six ways out of thirty-two possibilities that the outcome of a best 2/3 would be different from the outcome of a best 3/5 (See proof below in spoiler - bolded are contradictions in best 2/3 versus best 3/5) .

Let's wait for Beef's input. He is coordinator, after all, and I think he'll seriously take your objection into consideration.

Well, considering that it's the finals, a 3/5 set is common in most tourneys. Plus, we're both in agreement. I don't see what the problem is. Besides, there are almost never 3/5 sets in tournaments in the early rounds, so I can only assume that your latter statement was a humorous one.

Joe, we'll be ready Wednesday afternoon, if that's cool. Around 3:30 Pacific, maybe later if he's late.

Well, to be fair, I'm guilty of two of the three of those as well. ;) Thanks for all those who've voiced their support for me! I'll do my best not to let you down!

EDIT: Oh, and dyeknom, I fixed your image.

2 and 3 are irrelevant without 1 :)

[Mr. Beef]

Beef hates Olimar, so naturally I have to go with Joe. Go Joe!
Hey, I only hate Olimar because he frightens me....a lot.

[crystalklear64]

Oh, for future and maybe this tournament, someone should make a small image or something that the winner can put in their sig.

I...

I have a skeleton playing a scytar we could use.

[BlueLobstah]

I suppose we're even then since I hate Ike for almost the exact same reasons.

Funny you should say that . http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7937/64uw6.png

Well.. I meant a good image.

[UltimoRey]

Well.. I meant a good image.
well next time be specific.

[dmunkee]

Well.. I meant a good image.

Hey now, other than Melee Fox, I see nothing wrong with that title belt ;)

[crystalklear64]

I was thinking more along the lines of a small badge. Something anyone could add to their sig without it being too distracting.

I'll try my hand at something and see what I come up with.

[Mr. Beef]

If I wasn't artistically-challenged, I'd try whipping something up.

This is going to be one exciting match. All we need is a hype-man to get everyone excited right before our matches, and we'll be set. I already have someone who's trying to be like Mick from the Rocky series, but no matter how many times I ask, he won't cut it out.

[Strell]

Radio Show.

We shall commission one of the many, many radio personalities we have here.

I'd do it, but I don't know how, and doubt I have the requisite hardware required. Plus I'd only agree if I get to do some kind of voice. Or multiple voices.

[Mr. Beef]

I suppose it could be done similarly to a podcast, if that helps. Anyone here record one before?

[JoeB1233]

I tried my best at a few medals/ribbons (see spoiler). Would we like to use them?

Oh, I made a third place one, if that is also desired.

[Strell]

I have a better idea for a medal.

I shall work on it and post it soon.

[JoeB1233]

[Mad D]

Joe if you don't win I'm disowning you.

[Strell]

*cowers in fear holding his new Nyko Perfect Shot for protection*

This is indeed the correct reaction.

The medals trophies are being photoshop'd as we speak.

I have to figure out how to make one of them golden, but I doubt that will take me long to figure out.

[Strell]

I proudly present the trophies for the First CAG Super Smash Bros Tournament.

First place will be given this splendid piece, complete with firm, sexy buttocks:

Second place will be forever bonded to this monstrosity, which may or may not emit various airborne toxins:

I might clean them up a little bit later. Photoshop can be so frustrating in the early morning.

[godhatesjustyou]

Stupid sexy Snake.

[forgrim]

who's ass is the second one?? it looks like marios.

[dmunkee]

Hm, love the trophies. 1st or 2nd, everyone wins! That be Wario's glutes in the 2nd trophy forgrim.

I actually sent AOTH a PM a while ago after I lost to beef, seeing if he wanted to play for the "unofficial" 3rd place title. never got a response.

[Mr. Beef]

Wow, lol...now I don't know if I want to win anymore. Mind games?

[maigoyume]

hey beef you up for some matches right now?

[Mr. Beef]

I'm at work right now, so no fun for me for the next 4 hours. =(

[maigoyume]

=| ah man, well let me know if you want to warm up in 4 hrs, i've got a ton of time to burn

[Mr. Beef]

Sure thing. I'd love to get some online practice in before I have to take on JoeB.

[ratzombie]

I changed my mind... "I'm with Beef" is a lot funnier.

GO BEEEEEEEEEEEEF!

[Drnick]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/EmptySpace/1205488429797.gif

ok, that has to be one of the funniest things I've seen on this forum in a while.

"almost like I'm wearing nothing at all......"
"stupid sexy Flanders!"


HAHA!

[JoeB1233]

Wow, lol...now I don't know if I want to win anymore. Mind games?

Curiously, it had the same effect on me as well. :lol:

Great job, Strell! I think we'll definitely use your trophies!

EDIT: T-MINUS THREE AND A HALF HOURS AND COUNTING!!!

EDIT2: Joe if you don't win I'm disowning you.

Aaawhat?!?! I hope this isn't the motivation style you plan to use on your kids! :)

[Mr. Beef]

Ok, I'm home, but no word from my friend yet. If he doesn't show soon, we may have to contact Lobstah....

[JoeB1233]

Hiya! Did you get my PM?
