Are you brave enough!?
If not, that's ok.
Welcome to the Official Tournament thread! Instructions shall be given, but first, you need people's Brawl codes, which can be found here:

What time frame are we looking at?
Mr. Beef
03-17-2008, 04:39 PM
Since people are always up and about at different times of the day, people are going to have a full day to complete their matches.
yoursisterspretty
03-17-2008, 04:39 PM
What time frame are we looking at?
This.
I'm in if the time works out (Saturday/Sunday night would be best).
(and by "in" I mean I'm ready to loose)
Veronica Mars
03-17-2008, 04:42 PM
When is this gonna start?
Mr. Beef
03-17-2008, 04:49 PM
I'm putting an entry deadline for this Sunday night. Pairings and first rounds will be posted the next day.
KhaosX
03-17-2008, 04:54 PM
Im down for it.
SpazX
03-17-2008, 04:55 PM
I'll lose, but I guess I might as well do it just for the hell of it, like the strikers charged tournament :-P.
Will there be a limit on the number of entrants? I'm sensing this could easily go 100+. Either way, I'm game. Sign me up, please.
Mr. Beef
03-17-2008, 05:00 PM
No limit, I'll be taking names all the way until sunday.

Sign me up
too bad we can't spectate these games, or can we?
Don't think so. I'm pretty sure spectator mode is actually just you watching a fight that already happened, which explains why there is never lag.
Drnick
03-17-2008, 05:37 PM
question, Do you have to pick 1 character and stick with them the entire tournament? or can you change each round?
Mr. Beef
03-17-2008, 05:49 PM
You can change characters each round. Locking one character for the tournament is a dumb, dumb idea.
Also, I'll put a tournament size limit if enough people back it up. I just didn't want people complaining that they missed a week-long deadline.

With the potential amount of people that might join, single elims.

How is it the "One and only CAG Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament" when there are gonna be 2? We need a better name like "brawl for it all" or since its CAG "Brawl for nothing at all"
bardiya27
03-17-2008, 07:45 PM
i would also put a limit on the participants, or else it's going to take so long.

Next monday is when the brackets will be set up, and pairings announced. People have until Sunday to sign up before I stop taking entries. It's mentioned in the OP.
dyeknom
03-17-2008, 10:13 PM
I meant actual time for fights. 1 PM, 6 PM, etc. But I'm game for any time! PMD (put me down) for the tourny :)
Mr. Beef
03-17-2008, 10:15 PM
When the pairings are announced, both people will have 24 hours to complete their match, barring any sort of mishap.

I'm in, but am a little confused on the rules. I understand the 1 vs 1 rule, but 2 out of 3? So will we have to fight 2 matches, so 6 stock? Or 3 matches, and whoever wins 2 out of them? Also, by turning items off, does that mean smashballs won't appear? And how will brackets be determined, software or drawings from a hat :P

03-18-2008, 12:09 AM

And how will brackets be determined, software or drawings from a hat :PBest 2 out of 3 means that out of three games played (with 3 stocks in each game), the one who gets 2 wins first wins the round. I don't see how that's confusing. =/
Pairings will be determined randomly. I have a system, mind you, and it's more complicated than drawing from a hat. I have a shoe, thank you very much. Also, name list updated.

my lovely cable internet has this really cool habit where it likes to disconnect for 5-20 seconds, or just long enough to force me out of whatever game i'm playing. it's oh-so-wonderful in halo.

I plan on spending what free time I have on sunday making all the pairings, then posting them on monday. People will have 24 hours to play and report their results in the thread.
Name list should be updated by the time this is read.
UPDATE: I'm going to be out of town this weekend, so if people are still considering entering the tournament, don't be afraid to enter now! I'll be accepting all entrants until sunday, which is when the entries will no longer be accepted. If you want a specific time slot, it's gonna stop this sunday at noon, pacific.
I should really be sleeping right now. Z_Z

Of course, if enough people want, we could just start this thing now...

Mr. Beef

Hmmm....well, since the bracket is done and all, I suppose I could just post the pairings, and give people from now until Tuesday. Not like people are going to be mad about it, after all.

03-23-2008, 09:52 PM
Damn, I'm currently out of town too. Hopefully, I'll be able to steal a neighbor's wifi if my opponent shows up, or I'll be back home tomorrow evening.
sky03 - I'm game whenever you want, so hit me up when you want to go at it. I'm always on my IRC channel (check sig) if I don't respond to PMs or somethin.
ChibiJosh
03-23-2008, 10:05 PM
I want in!
You had a week to say that.
By the way, what's the rules with switching characters between matches? Is it winner stays the same, loser can switch up?
You had a week to say that.
Yeah, I realized that after I posted.
I'm on CAG all the damn time. Not sure how the hell I missed this thread for so long.

We're starting a day early, but the ending time for round 1 is still the same.
Mr. Beef
03-23-2008, 10:23 PM
Fuck! I thought this wasn't starting until tomorrow?! Why does it say it's starting now?Since making the bracket took less time than I thought I just posted the pairings now, but kept the deadline the same. Tuesday at Noon, or until everyone finishes their games.

Far too late. Signups started last week.

It's amazing how everybody is discovering this thread an hour after sign-ups have closed despite it being in the top 10 threads since it was made.
Mr. Beef
03-23-2008, 10:46 PM
It boggles the mind, which is why I'm trying not to think about it.

I wanted to fight :( o well... if anyone wanna practices, just PM me, im on and off randomly throughout the days.
Mr. Beef
03-23-2008, 11:02 PM
Bah, my opponent ain't on CAG right now. Better try again tomorrow.
Gothic Walrus
03-23-2008, 11:29 PM
So how firm is this deadline?
AmigoOne just PMed me, and we've got some scheduling issues - I can't play tonight, he can't play tomorrow, and the soonest we're going to get to it is Tuesday evening.
If that's too late, then I'm going to have to consider dropping out. I don't want to, but given that my schedule of classes and work is a big part of the problem and that I've got three papers and an essay due this week, I may have to let college take precedence over video games. :cry:
Riyonuk
03-23-2008, 11:39 PM

Bring on Strell...
Are we just suppose to fight once this week and then post the results somewhere. Come again, where do we post results of the match anyways?
Seems like the we have to fight exactly on Monday...I better pm him when I'm available.

I think the explanation of how your tournament round go should be more than just I won 2-1 or something like that. I'll be attempting to post a detailed explanation of the brawl.
Example:
I was Olimar and he was Sonic, we were playing on Final Destination. In the first round he knocked me out twice right around 150% but then I came back with a lot of grabs and shielding. We each were down to 1 stock, but I was closer to 75%. He finished me with a side smash as I was drifting down towards the stage, he taunted me as GAME! came up.
Or something close to that. If I can get video replay (doubtful with 3 stock) then I'll post those up too. I like reading battle reports, it reminds me of Warhammer (Fantasy) (I'm a nerd).

03-24-2008, 02:40 PM
Is there anyway we can extend the time for the first round (Like a day or so, or even until Tue @ 10 or something)? Due to being gone for Easter and work, ending at Noon Tuesday might be tough.

Mr. Beef

Since it seems that people have some scheduling issues with Tuesday at noon, I'll go ahead and extend it to Tuesday at...I guess Midnight.
And as for pairing information, I set up a bracket, so the only time randomness was in the equation was when I was initially sorting names for round 1.
Roster post should be updated by the time people read this.
Mr. Beef
03-24-2008, 02:59 PM
More clarification (I hate waking up semi-early): you can either PM me the results, or you can post them here. Seeing as how this is a friendly competition, I don't see why someone would want to muck up the results.
And if maigo wins, it'll be Suko_32 and maigoyume for round 2. Just putting that out there. My tournament bracket is in Word format, so if I can find a way to upload it, I'll do it.

Round 1:
Stage: Battlefield
Players: cheapwiigamer - Snake, zitanix - Olimar
Right off the bat at 26% health I fall off the stage because I'm a moron. So it's a pretty even fight from there on out. We work each other up to about 125% or over and Snakes knock Olimar off with a side smash attack. However, right away Olimar starts trowing some Pikmins while also grabbing and throwing Snake around, KO. Snake is at 1 stock and Olimar still has two. It's a fairly close battle as each player is up over 100% again and Olimar gets knocked off the side with some strong A attacks and then a lucky missle shot. However, Snake is already over 180% by the time this happens so it he is easily destroyed to end the round in Olimars favor.
cheapwiigamer 0, zitanix 1
Round 2:
Stage: Yoshi’s Island (New Brawl Map)
Players : cheapwiigamer – Snake, zitanix – Ike
Able to save replay – Will post when I figure out how
Snake threw a few grenades and Ike flew past him as Snake threw up his shield and Ike just fell off the board. Ike came back and got quite a few good hits to knock Snake up to around 70% . Snake fought back and put a choke hold on him, but Ike charged up his side smash as Snake was floating back to the board to knock him off around 110%. Snake decides that he should plant more bombs and mines around the edges to try and get his opponent to KO himself that way, but all attempts end in failure. Ike launches Snake off the board, but he can still recover. As Snake makes his recovery, he decides to land on a little platform on the side to avoid any sword attacks, but sure enough the platform disappears as Snake drops down to it, KO. Ike starts knocking around Snake and gets him up to 115%, but then Snake uses a quick shield block and dodge to get behind Ike and KO him off the screen at 170%. Soon after Ike knocks Snake in the air and uses his smash up attack and clears Snake right off the map as he bounces off the front of my TV set. Game
cheapwiigamer 0, zitanix 2
Winner: zitanix

Out of curiosity, how bad is the lag for everyone else?
Depends on how many and who I am playing. Even though I have Red Orbs for almost everyone, if I'm just playing 1 person, theres usually a lot of input lag at the start of the match, and then it gets pretty good after about 10 seconds.
If I'm playing 4 people, its more like a slideshow.

Good games yoursis. Our second stage was WarioWare believe it or not. That was insane. I look forward to playing you again - in a non-tournament setting!

Strell
03-24-2008, 05:20 PM
I take it we pick our characters but leave the stage to random? Leave all items at default?
Also, as hero PM'd to me, I need to unlock more characters. I've only got Marth unlocked. All this time I've used the game for online matches, which leaves me ill-prepared. Oh well. The only person I think I'd use that requires unlocking is Luigi - the demon in green garb.
Mr. Beef

You could use Luigi's Waluigi outfit, and make him the Purple Prince, instead.

Read the OP, Jabroni.
RULES: One on one games. 3 Stock, best 2 out of 3, opponents agree on stages, no items. Any character is legal, whether unlocked or not. There will be another tournament with items on, but that will be at a later time.
See, I'll have plenty of time to harass the tourney players throughout this thread, seeing as I lost in the first round.

I should probably figure this out before playing. How do setting up the rules in an online match work? I've only played half a dozen matches before and have never really messed with them. Do both players have to do something, or just the one who makes the room? Also, how is the stage decided? Just randomly chose between the ones that all the players picked, so we both have to choose the same stage?

AmigoOne just PMed me, and we've got some scheduling issues - I can't play tonight, he can't play tomorrow, and the soonest we're going to get to it is Tuesday evening.
If that's too late, then I'm going to have to consider dropping out. I don't want to, but given that my schedule of classes and work is a big part of the problem and that I've got three papers and an essay due this week, I may have to let college take precedence over video games. :cry:

I knock strell out twice tho. Not a total lose.

Hero - one more. Just 1 in my favor right now.
Nigel - please forgive me continually ignoring your attempts. :(

I just looked at the updated standings, and I noticed that Pestilence and bustabust both are on byes.... wouldn't it make sense for them to just play each other?

Well, there were 62 competitors at the outset of the tournament. In order to create the magic 32 number to facilitate an easier time for later rounds, he put a bye in each of the two highest brackets.
Because, normally, it's 64/32/16/8/4/2/1.
Err, does that make sense?

next time, if there is a next time, there should be wild cards picked at random from the loser list instead of byes.

Makes sense.
Besides, if I had the two of them fight each other now, I'd have to completely redo the bracket I have now. Plus, I'd have to strangle you.
