2nd CAG SSBB Tournament!!! - Currently: FINAL MATCH - JMG!!! vs Peachachu

[JoeB1233]

I got work this week, but I know that me and Arikado would be more than happy to clean up that ugly smirk in ya'lls sigs. I get off work this friday around 4-ish, and if things work out, I'll be ready to play around 6-ish. All Pacific time, of course.

*cries* I sha'nt forgive.

Now, I'll be happy to play tomorrow, anytime after 7PM MST works for me. :) Hope you two are ready for a pummeling.

Oh, and guys, I flipped a coin for the one match that went unplayed. Calcium Fortified Apple Juice Moves on!

[zerowing]

Sorry about any setbacks Joe and Goo, but its hard when someone disappears on ya =/. Anyways trying to contact new opponent now.

[Rig]

The Peachachu/Blue Thunder match will almost certainly occur this Saturday.

[JoeB1233]

The SHOW US YOUR GOO match should take place within the next hour. :) Once goo gets back home, we'll start. If he's for some reason unavailable in the next half hour, David is online, so we'll play (if that's okay with David).

[zerowing]

As is the Calcium Fortified Apple Juice and Duel Aura Stars match!

[evergoo]

I'm back guys.

Where's Mr. Beef? Is he ready to be grilled?

[Arikado]

I'm back guys.

Where's Mr. Beef? Is he ready to be grilled?

He went to grab food. Said he'd be back online afterwards.

[Lbgrowl]

Tonight's matchup with :whee: has ended with a decisive defeat for The Grey Storm.

Here's the breakdown:

Round 1: Smashville
TGS-Olimar/Lucario vs :whee:-Game & Watch/Link
Winner: :whee:

Round 2: Smashville
TGS-Pit/Toon Link vs :whee:-Game & Watch/Link
Winner: :whee:

Dyeknom had a killer Game & Watch with good teamwork coming from Daisydog. Good game guys and congratulations!

:applause::whee::whee::whee::whee::whee::applause:

[UltimoRey]

protip: don't let Grey Storm pick Smashville. That's how we lost too

[Lbgrowl]

Smashville might not be perfect but it's a whole lot better than the broken Final Destination. Besides, we lost the match.

[Arikado]

We're ready guys. Hop on in about five minutes or so.

[JoeB1233]

I'll be ready in 5.

[evergoo]

I'm ready...to kick some ass!

[dyeknom]

Smashville is fun and it didn't lag much at all (compared to how that scrolling background on FD does). Daisydog had to go asap, and I already made us late by getting locked out of the house >.<''

Sorry I bailed on Shadow Moses, on the 1v1v1... I didn't think it would end the game. I wanted to plug in Mario Kart and tried to just drop out.

:bouncy::bouncy::bouncy: At any rate, good games Kyle/Dastly.:bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

[maigoyume]

Calcium Fortified Apple Juice VS Dual Aura Stars

DAS ended up the victor and since I absolutely suck at remembering details during the match, I'll let either renald, zero or fish pick it up.

Very good games though, those were some close matches.

[JoeB1233]

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODO HMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOH MYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.

I love evergoo.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODO HMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOH MYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.

[evergoo]

Holy fuck'n cow! What a miracle. I don't even know how I survived against Mr. Beef and Arikado.

Now I can die a happy man \\:D/. If only someone recorded it :pray:.

Anyways, epic matches and see you guys in the finals (yep, you heard it here).

[Mad D]

:whee:

[JoeB1233]

Okay, now that I've calmed down a bit (I was LITERALLY jumping around the basement), here's the battle results.

@ Yoshi's Island: Joe's Mad Goo!!! (R.O.B. and Dedede) d. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco and Lucario)

This one was pretty evenly matched. Beef was eliminated first, leaving me and Goo to finish off Kado's Falco. We got him down to one life before I was killed, leaving a two-life R.O.B. versus a one-life Falco. Goo took him down, but not without some trouble.

@ Final Destination: Joe's Mad Goo!!! (R.O.B. and Dedede) d. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco and Kirby)

Okay, this was crazy. The match quickly swung in SUYM's favor. I was eliminated first, leaving a one-life Goo to deal with both Kado and Beef. The odds are not in Goo's favor. Goo manages to eliminate Beef, leaving the same match-up from the previous round. This time, the two are evenly matched. Kado manages to rack up R.O.B. to around 190%, while being at 140% himself. Goo and Kado exchange projectiles, and at one point, Falco even gets R.O.B. in a grab. But guess what? Goo retaliates, hitting Kado with a B-Air, eliminating Falco! 2v1? No problem for Goo!!!

@ ?, we got beat. But I was too distracted from my love for evergoo, so I don't remember the details.

:whee:

Exactly.

[Strell]

Hey ya cool awesome super.

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO PLAY NOW?

I was jumping up and down, pumping my fist, and even told my gf how epic that comeback match was.

You should have seen it Mad D. Seriously.

But honestly, TEAM SHOW US YOUR MOVES fought with all their hearts. They deserve lots of :applause: :applause: :applause:

[zitanix]

Anyways, epic matches and see you guys in the finals (yep, you heard here).

:(

[Arikado]

Fuckin' stupid of me to try to usmash BOTH times against ROB's nair in the first round and bair in the second. Guess I overestimated Falco's priority. I was feeling it that first round, too, after Joe's last stock got knocked out. Thought I might have been able to pull the comeback off. In the second round, I thought Goo was going to dodge and then land, so I went for the usmash and ate that bair instead. Falco has a stronger throw, that second round would've been over on more than one occasion.

Hate to lose in a heartbreaking fashion like that, but shit happens. We're still alive though, so we'll hopefully see you guys again soon after making some adjustments.

Good games, and good luck the rest of the way.

Good bonus matches afterwards as well.

[Daisydog]

Winner: :whee:

Dyeknom had a killer Game & Watch with good teamwork coming from Daisydog. Good game guys and congratulations!

:applause::whee::whee::whee::whee::whee::applause:
Thank you. You guys are pretty tough :applause: Those games were a ton of fun!

I try to leave Dyeknom to do his own thing since he's better at edge guarding. That, and I'd get hit in the face with a frying pan if I got too close. But he was awesome and that kept us on top. :D

protip: don't let Grey Storm pick Smashville. That's how we lost too
Don't confuse me like that! :whee: I could have sworn we won :lol:

[Mr. Beef]

I thought I had more practice than that. Man, I was gettin grilled by my roommates after that, too. Good games though, only means I need to practice more, on and offline.

[dastly75]

Goodluck to everyone else in the tournament, glad to be back in no pressure land.

[wjhard63]

Fallmoon & Rig - I'm ready to go, I'm just waiting for my partner to get online.

[Rig]

Have either of you guys added FallMoon?

(2750-0760-0334)

We are both online and ready!

[wjhard63]

Have either of you guys added FallMoon?

(2750-0760-0334)

We are both online and ready!

I added both of you but only see Fallmoon right now. As soon as Zitanix gets online, we'll be ready to go.

[wjhard63]

Have either of you guys added FallMoon?

(2750-0760-0334)

We are both online and ready!

I see both of you guys now. How long do you want to wait on Zitanix?

[Rig]

I see both of you guys now. How long do you want to wait on Zitanix?

I should be here for a few more hours...so I guess I can wait however long.

I assume FallMoon can wait too. *shrugs*

[wjhard63]

I should be here for a few more hours...so I guess I can wait however long.

I assume FallMoon can wait too. *shrugs*

Cool, well I'll wait on him for about 30 more minutes - if he's not on by 1 a.m., I think I'm going to call it a night, as I have to get up early tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[FallMoon]

Wow. I have no idea why it's so hard for him to get on Brawl.

[wjhard63]

Wow. I have no idea why it's so hard for him to get on Brawl.

I think he's on pretty regularly - this seems odd for him.

[zitanix]

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm back now. I'll add Fallmoon and then host?

[Rig]

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm back now. I'll add Fallmoon and then host?

That's good. She had you added.

[FallMoon]

Wow, I can't believe you got on! I thought you never would. Thank you!

[zitanix]

Couldn't resist your charm. =P

[zitanix]

...what was that?

[Rig]

'tanix, you don't have it set on team matches?

[wjhard63]

Sorry, Zitanix. I definitely gave us a disadvantage with all my friendly fire. Congrats, Rig & Fallmoon.

[FallMoon]

Yeah, you were pretty bad. Couldn't you have been, you know, a little better?

Kidding! That was really fun, and you guys are the best team we've battled so far.

[Rig]

Peachachu defeated Blue Thunder.

Great games, guys.

I don't actually have the running life tally though.

EDIT: Peachachu won 3-0...if you don't count the first game (that wasn't set to Team Battle)

If you count that, we were 2-1. Somebody will have to fill in the lives, if they can.

[wjhard63]

Yeah, you were pretty bad. Couldn't you have been, you know, a little better?

Kidding! That was really fun, and you guys are the best team we've battled so far.

Haha - thanks. You guys were very good and deserved the win.

I know Zitanix must've been flipping me off during those matches - haha, sorry Z!

[zitanix]

Haha, don't worry about it. I played like shit in the first matches, and started to get it back later, but it didn't matter. Good games to Peachachu, though you should probably change your name to Metachu. =P

I was pretty sure I set it to team battles, but I didn't even notice. I was wondering why you guys no contested the first match. Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

[Rig]

I keep telling her her MK is better!

[Mad D]

Is James wjhard63? Didn't get to add you the easy way when I jumped into the post match games.

[FallMoon]

Zitanix, you really should have used Olimar. You kicked butt with him.

[wjhard63]

Is James wjhard? Didn't get to add you.
Yes, I'm one in the same - I tried to add David (if that was you, Mad D), but it wouldn't let me. I'm going to bed, but I'll add you in the morning. My FC is in my sig.

BTW - Your Kirby is nasty - I'm glad I didn't face it in the tournament.

[zitanix]

Mad D, yeah, wjhard63 = James.

Fallmoon, I didn't play Olimar because Blue usually plays him, and a team of Olimar and a slightly lighter colored Olimar with 12 pikmin running around gets kinda confusing. I went with DK because he's the heaviest hitter I feel comfortable with, and since samus has about 3 kill moves, I thought I should use someone with power. Guess I know better for next time!

[suko_32]

:whee: vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES shall happen in about 1 hour.

[evergoo]

:whee: vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES shall happen in about 1 hour.

Already? Good job on trying to get this done quickly.

Make sure to post detailed results. I wanna here them :D

[Arikado]

:whee:, you guys ready? Didn't expect to see you both on so soon, but we're ready to go.

[Arikado]

:whee: (RED) vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (BLUE)

Round 1
:whee: (Link, Mr. Game and Watch) vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco, King Dedede) on Smashville
This one was pretty lopsided in our favor. :whee: just could seem to get going and I think there were a few botched recoveries that resulted in a KO.
6-1, SHOW US YOUR MOVES wins

Round 2
:whee: (Link, Pikachu) vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco, ROB) on Final Destination
This one was much closer. suko switched to ROB, and dyeknom switched to Pikachu, which caught us both offguard. Pika spammed a bunch of thunders on the edge, and amidst all of the chaos, notched him a few KOs. It came down to ROB against Link. ROB was already at a sizable disadvantage, but managed to rack up a bit of damage. In the end, Link took him out.
6-5, :whee: wins

Round 3
:whee: (Link, Pikachu) vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco, King Dedede) on Final Destination
suko switched back to Dedede for this one, and it turned out to be a good move. He had a couple of big hammer KOs that swung the momentum in our favor. Pikachu was back spamming thunder on this one, but we were able to adapt and punish. With both of our characters able to chain throw, we were able to wrack up damage quick whenever we got dyeknom and Daisydog separated.
6-2, SHOW US YOUR MOVES wins

FINAL: 2-1, SHOW US YOUR MOVES wins.

Good games, :whee:. You caught us both off guard in that second round and earned that victory. Thanks for sticking around for the games afterwards as well, including the one with the smash balls turned on. :lol: Sorry about that double grab thing with Wolf and Mario... we wanted to see it in action.

...and the long road to the finals for SHOW US YOUR MOVES continues.

[dyeknom]

I know I had two SDs in the first round, but I didn't really expect any different given the connection (My DSL is no better, though). The G&W recovery, with high latency, ends up transforming itself into a Judgment with the move queue and dropping him like a rock. lol. I don't really like pika-spamming, but the after-effects of casting his Down attacks, with latency, are about the most effective thing for me to do.

Oh well, alls for the best. Good luck the rest of the way. Sorry for bailing after Yoshi's Island... I wanted to go back to playing on a local multiplayer.

[Daisydog]

The first and third rounds were a complete mess for us. I had too many careless deaths :bomb: and Dyeknom says he had awful lag. I didn't notice much but he has lots of trouble with it.


Round 2
:whee: (Link, Pikachu) vs. SHOW US YOUR MOVES (Falco, ROB) on Final Destination
This one was much closer. suko switched to ROB, and dyeknom switched to Pikachu, which caught us both offguard. Pika spammed a bunch of thunders on the edge, and amidst all of the chaos, notched him a few KOs. It came down to ROB against Link. ROB was already at a sizable disadvantage, but managed to wrack up a bit of damage. In the end, Link took him out.
6-5, :whee: wins

That round was the best! Especially since I know I can't beat Suko :lol:

You were edge hogging and I went over to try and save Dyeknom. I don't know what possessed me to Down A you because I had never even tried that before! But it was "successful" and ended with all three of us dying!
It took a bunch of running, jumping, and a miracle for me to kill Suko and get that win :applause:
--
You guys are just too tough. Congratulations on your victory and best of luck to you on your next fight. :D

[Arikado]

You were edge hogging and I went over to try and save Dyeknom. I don't know what possessed me to Down A you because I had never even tried that before! But it was "successful" and ended with all three of us dying!

Haha yeah, I edgehogged dyeknom, and right when I was about to hit R to roll recover back up, your sword came stabbing down on my head. :lol:

[evergoo]

So, I just checked the last 15+ pages to edit and make sure that all the bracket details are correct. Whew!

Now, what was the final score to Calcium Fortified Apple Juice vs. Duel Aura Stars? I just need the win/loss record, not the stock record.

[suko_32]

My ROB in the second round got toss and pwnd like I've never seen before. I was super sad, but good job taking him out! GG's!

[maigoyume]

Hot.

Hot.Like my neon spandex.

[BlueLobstah]

Are matches are about to commence. Videos will be posted after.

[zitanix]

Good games to Maigoyume and Renald. Videos should be up tomorrow sometime.

[maigoyume]

Good games guys, sorry I couldn't hang around. If you hadn't pm'ed me when you did I was going to head off. Brawled too much today.

[JoeB1233]

I eagerly await the videos. :)

There was some slight input lag in that first match, but it really wasn't too bad. Good games to Renald and maigoyume.

[maigoyume]

Yea those were some great matches, I was kinda hoping to end up going 1v1 against your olimar though ;)

[evergoo]

Oh snaps!

Rematch between Dual Aura Stars and SHOW US YOUR MOVES.

Who will win?

[maigoyume]

I've been waiting for this since our first loss, this time will be different.

[Lbgrowl]

I hope people will eventually learn to stop picking Final Destination. The edges of the platform are just awful. Look at how it screwed Blue over twice in that first match.

[UltimoRey]

yeah but it doesn't have tose annoying platforms. Platforms ruin everything!

[dastly75]

yeah but it doesn't have tose annoying platforms. Platforms ruin everything!

What exactly is wrong with 'tose annoying platforms'? Please explain.

[UltimoRey]

What exactly is wrong with 'tose annoying platforms'? Please explain.
They tend to stop me from bouncing on people's head. The platform in Smashville also seems to move just to spite me.

[Daisydog]

And for me it takes three tries just to go through one! On Battlefield I spend half my time just trying to get to the bottom of the stage. Then as soon as I get there I get punched in the air again.

But I try not to complain about it too much... :lol:

[BlueLobstah]

I hope people will eventually learn to stop picking Final Destination. The edges of the platform are just awful. Look at how it screwed Blue over twice in that first match.

We didn't pick it. But yeah, input lag + that really kind of pissed me off.

I actually prefer stages with platform because it requires a completely different strategy other than spam-a-thons.

Ah, I was wondering why you didn't like BF.

[Mr. Beef]

I'm relieved. I took this week off the interweb, and I would've been crushed had SHOW US YOUR MOVES lost.

[Rig]

The Peachachu/Joe's Mad Goo match will commence in 40 minutes or so.

[evergoo]

So FallMoon and I had some sample matches against each other and I only have one thing to say:

You're really good.

It's amazing how we never played against each other yet.

[JoeB1233]

I'm on, and ready to go! (in 5 minutes) I'll host, Battlefield first. Any questions? :)

[JoeB1233]

Ugh. This does not bode well. And how the hell was there a banana? Oh well. Let's try again.

[evergoo]

Ugh. This does not bode well. And how the hell was there a banana? Oh well. Let's try again.

Indeed. I warned you guys. Lol.

I nearly died b/c of the lag.

[Rig]

That was laggy.

I got a disconnect error. Ready to try again.

[evergoo]

Uhh...3 different time zones was extremely laggy.

What makes us think 4 is gonna work. We're doomed :-(

[UltimoRey]

I could put on a red hat and pretend to Rig if that would help.

Just kidding. Why on earth would I have a red hat. :)

[FallMoon]

Looks more pink than red...

[JoeB1233]

Well, we made it. Looks like Joe's Mad Goo!!! puts the previously undefeated Peachachu into the loser's bracket. Here are the results:

Game 1 @ Battlefield: Joe's Mad Goo!!! (Dedede and R.O.B.) d. Peachachu (Meta Knight and Pikachu)

Game 2 @ Final Destination: Joe's Mad Goo!!! (Dedede and R.O.B.) d. Peachachu (Zero Suit and Pikachu)

Game 3 @ Smashville: Peachachu (Zero Suit and Kirby) d. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (Dedede and R.O.B.)

Overall Winner: Joe's Mad Goo!!!

Man, we never win our third matches. GGs, Peachachu! I'd play more, but I'm expected at a friend's house. Let's play again soon!

[Mad D]

Sorry for being away so long again, my team. I was in Tahoe and Reno. I demoted myself to benchwarmer so I can ride your coattails.

I would like to see details (score/falls) of the match when you can.

[FallMoon]

Those were really good matches, I mean, on your guys part, and Rig's. I really messed up, ugh!

[Rig]

We will get you guys in the finals! (Yes, I said that.)

FallMoon wasn't on the top of her game tonight. I think the results will be different next time. :)

Good games, guys.

[FallMoon]

We will get you guys in the finals! (Yes, I said that.)

FallMoon wasn't on the top of her game tonight. I think the results will be different next time. :)

Good games, guys.

We will face them in the finals without me killing myself and stuff.

[Rig]

Pink or red hat?!

I think it's orange!

And I'm partially color-blind! :-P

[FallMoon]

The hat is actually purple, in that case.

[evergoo]

GGs to Peachachu and Joe. IMO, those matches were pretty crappy and anti-climatic due to the lag. It took our entire group 4 or more disconnections before we finally got it settled, and then in Game 4, Joe got disconnected.

Here are some details to the matches. The others can pitch in if they'd like.

1. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (6) d. Peachachu (4): We were up the whole time but the stocks were pretty even. It eventually came down to Joe's Mad Goo!!! double teaming against Rig's Pikachu.

2. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (6) d. Peachachu (5): This was the laggiest match out of the set. Both FallMoon and I suicided ourselves due to lag and we weren't even near opponents! In the end, Joe and Rig face off one another but Joe has the advantage w/ 2 stock and inevitably finishes him off.

3. Peachachu (6) d. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (4): I died early leaving Joe alone (2 stocks) against FallMoon (1) and Rig (1). I tried to steal Joe's life to help him out but the game wouldn't let me (how do you really?). Anyways, Joe was eventually gang-raped. Sorry dude for failing on the last two games.

I think it's A + B on a Wavebird/GC controller...if that's what you were using.

We must've lost because we went against our team name. We aren't MetaChu or SamChu! (Though, I think MetaChu has a nice ring to it.)

1. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (6) d. Peachachu (2) (I distinctly remember looking at our stock count as we were taunting "Joe's Mad Goo!!!" for the win - we had four lives left): We were up the whole time but the stocks were pretty even. It eventually came down to Joe's Mad Goo!!! double teaming against Rig's Pikachu. We had four stocks left to Rig's two when the double-teaming began, and we were relentless. And so was our taunting. Of special note, Meta Knight had two shuttle-loop related suicides. And zero kills. Sad day.

2. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (6) d. Peachachu (5): This was the laggiest match out of the set. Both FallMoon and I suicided ourselves due to lag and we weren't even near opponents! In the end, Joe and Rig face off against one another but Joe has the advantage w/ 2 stock and inevitably finishes him off. I was especially proud of shutting down the Spamchu-mobile before it even started in our 1v1. My Waddles can be turds, huh?

3. Peachachu (6) d. Joe's Mad Goo!!! (4): I died early leaving Joe alone (2 stocks) against FallMoon (1) and Rig (1). I tried to steal Joe's life to help him out but the game wouldn't let me (how do you really?). Anyways, Joe was eventually gang-raped. Sorry dude for failing on the last two games. 'Tis okay. :D I knew, to win, I had to take Kirby out of the picture, which just didn't happen. I so wanted to pull an evergoo too. Oh well. If they deliver on their promise to meet us in the finals, I'll be sure to show them the what for.

I fixed and added a couple details. :)

[evergoo]

Thanks for fixing my mistakes. Lol. I usually don't pay attention to exact details except who won.

But was it really 6-2 for Game 1? I remember being very confident near the end game but I don't recall the game being that lop-sided.

In the event that I'm out and you're still alive, don't go killing yourself so you can have only 1 stock and pull a miracle. You ain't me!

[maigoyume]

I humbly request an extension for the epic rematch b/t DAS vs SUYM.

If you do not fulfill my request, we shall kung fu fight...................naked..................... in the mud...................

thats right, i said M-U-D

Yeah, we'll most likely need an extension. I've got my work schedule ironed out now, but Suko and Beef aren't going to be around today from what they've told me. Tomorrow may be up in the air as well.

Sorry to hold things up, but I didn't want to commit to something I was unsure of. I started my new job on Wednesday and wasn't sure if I was going to be working weekends.

Unfortunately for you, this "threat" had the opposite effect of what I assume was intended. :lol: NO EXTENSIONS!

Okay, you guys can have an extension. But I'm going to insist that the victor not be tardy with their match against Peachachu. We want these Finals to start! :bouncy:

[Arikado]

Trust me, we're ready for them to start as well. Suko and Beef just had a few things pop up this weekend, and I was unsure what times my work schedule would allow. Hopefully we can knock this out early next week. Sorry again for the delay, and thanks for the extension.

Anyways thanks for the extension, you can have Mr. Honey Bunny back

[Arikado]

SHOW US YOUR MOVES vs. Duel Aura Stars is about to commence.

EDIT: That was just way too laggy guys. I'll try hosting... join up.

[Arikado]

That lag was an absolute joke. Congrats on your victory though, I guess.

[maigoyume]

The lag was pretty harsh, but thats what happens when there are four people from around North America.

Edit: We'll have a proper rematch later if you'd like, sorry I had to bolt but I didn't eat anything before starting the match.

Nah, it's whatever. This tourney has already gone on long enough... someone needs to win it sooner or later.

EDIT: Oh, and I didn't keep track of scores or anything... didn't care enough to after watching that slideshow... heh. So if you want to write the report up or whatever, go for it.

[suko_32]

Good luck against Rig's team!

[maigoyume]

It wasn't the best match in the world, thats for sure.

2-0 for the rematch between DAS and SUYM, I can't even remember enough to recap it.

Edit: Thanks suko, much appreciated :)

[Renald]

Good games suko and Arikado. The first match was extremely laggy but seems to have gotten a tad better in the last two rounds. We should get some more games going online sometime. ^^

[evergoo]

So was there 2 matches or 3? Your team's (Duel Aura Stars) posts seem to contradict one another.

[maigoyume]

The first match we stopped due to insane lag.

Then we played 2 more matches and won both.

[Mr. Beef]

Aw man, that's rough. =(

[maigoyume]

Semifinal match, DAS vs Peachachu will begin in a half hour.

[Rig]

This is horrible.

Multiple disconnects and dropped games. Very laggy in the first round (that didn't get finished because of a disconnect).

[maigoyume]

Sorry guys, I have to jet, we'll finish the last 2 rounds another day. I gtg to work.

[evergoo]

Here's hoping that you guys have non-laggy rounds :pray:

To Joe and the eventual finalists: Is it cool if we do a best of 7 to determine the champions?

Also, Joe, I've compiled statistics and odd facts about every team in this tournament. I'll PM you once DAS and Peachachu finish their match. Tell me what you think.

[maigoyume]

Best of 7 sounds like a good idea.

Heres hoping we actually get the matches done, the lag makes it almost unplayable.

[evergoo]

Best of 7 sounds like a good idea.

Heres hoping we actually get the matches done, the lag makes it almost unplayable.

Whoops!

I meant best out of 5. For some reason, I thought the first tourney's final was out of 7.

[JoeB1233]

I don't mind that we have a best of 5 for the finals. I did stipulate on the first page that all matches would be best of 3, but . . . I'm changing my mind! :) Yeah, send me those stats, goo! I'd love to see them!

[evergoo]

Peachachu & Duel Aura Stars: So when is this match going to begin?! We've been waiting ages to fight the eventual runner-ups of this tournament.

I don't mind that we have a best of 5 for the finals. I did stipulate on the first page that all matches would be best of 3, but . . . I'm changing my mind! :) Yeah, send me those stats, goo! I'd love to see them!

I'll PM them to you. They're not finalized yet since we have 2 more matches left in this tourney. Take out or include any stats you would want and tell me what you think.

[Rig]

I think we're trying to get our matches in tomorrow night.

I pray that it goes smoothly this time. :l

[maigoyume]

Sorry for the delay guys, its been difficult getting all 4 of us together.

[evergoo]

Empty your box, Joe, b/c I can't send you the stats until you do so.

[JoeB1233]

Done! Send me some stats at your earliest convenience!

[Rig]

I don't think we can get this finished. Every game is game-freezing lag, with an eventual disconnection. Been trying for nearly an hour now.

[maigoyume]

If anyone is d/l or u/l anything, now would be a good time to turn those off (just in case you haven't already)

[Rig]

If anyone is d/l or u/l anything, now would be a good time to turn those off (just in case you haven't already)

I've got nothing. The Wii was the only thing I had connected to the Internet.

(Had to turn the computer on just to come here.)

[maigoyume]

Blast it all, lets give it a few more tries, that very last game was not too bad.

[Rig]

What a damn crazy night of Brawl. I don't think I want to play online for a while.

Great games (when they weren't laggy), DAS.

I'll leave it to FallMoon or Maigo to post the results, since I don't know the specifics.

[maigoyume]

Score was 1 each for both teams.

We ended up just doing a 1v1 for the final match (Fallmoon vs Myself) since wifi was being uncooperative w/ 4 player matches.

Fallmoon won 3-1 against me. I yield to her ZSS.

[Renald]

Good games guys. The lag free matches toward the end was awesome. :) Good luck in the final against Joe and Evergoo.

[JoeB1233]

Sweet! So, I guess we're ready to do this thing! I'll update the OP (including prize information) some time today, and then I'll send a PM to everyone so we can get this thing under way!

Also, if someone was interested in coordinating the third tournament, you might want to start organizing now. Just a suggestion.

[evergoo]

So it looks like a rematch between Joe's Mad Goo!!! and Peachachu. Like maigoyume suggested, let's minimize Smash lag by not d/l or u/l anything.

Also, I will be going to a wedding during this time: Thursday, July 3rd to Sunday, July 6th. We can either play before or after this time.

JoeB: What is this prize you speak of? I'm curious.

[Arikado]

Also, if someone was interested in coordinating the third tournament, you might want to start organizing now. Just a suggestion.

If there is another tournament, I say switch it back to singles. Teams are just too laggy and too difficult to get together.

[JoeB1233]

JoeB: What is this prize you speak of? I'm curious.

Just Wii points! Not too creative, but I'm sure they'll be valued all the same! :)

Oh, and thanks for the stats, goo! They're really interesting, especially the later stuff you had! Be sure to post finalized stats after we finish the tourney! :)

And to Kado's suggestion: I agree. This was a fun venture into unknown territory, but I think sticking to singles will be best for our collective sanity. Anyone want to pick up responsibility for tournament number three? By doing so, you're pretty much guaranteed a trip to the finals (see: Beef in first tourney, Goo and myself in the second).

[Mad D]

Oh, and thanks for the stats, goo! They're really interesting, especially the later stuff you had! Be sure to post finalized stats after we finish the tourney! :)
Yeah, this is something I noticed but didn't want to jinx anyone ;) I've fallen out of the Smash this past month :( Want to help me get my lag calibrated reflexes back sometime Jojo?

[crystalklear64]

wow.. this is still going ay?

props for those who still have interest in brawl

[JoeB1233]

I love those stats, goo, especially that last one. We may lose, but we still persevere!

(I'll add more substance to this post later tonight) :)

[evergoo]

Bump. Can we get a few warmup matches before we start? That is, begin the matches at 8pm.

My gf's camcorder is ready. Lol.

[Rig]

We'll be hearing unbiased commentary with that video, yes? ;)

[hero101]

Fullmoon swearing is not PG 13. You should definitely do a skype and brawl at the same time to maximize the effect. Use special mushrooms as well. 8-)

[evergoo]

We'll be hearing unbiased commentary with that video, yes? ;)

All you'll be hearing is a bunch of clicking from my Cube controller. And of course the game.

[BlueLobstah]

Hey, stats are cool! Glad to know we had the 2nd toughest schedule.

[evergoo]

Is Sammy "FallMoon"? *Double shrugs*

[evergoo]

Lol. My gf said, "This better be over before Batman (midnight showing)".

EDIT: This is never gonna work. How about we do some 1-on-1s. Each team member plays against their opponents. Best out of 3? We take the aggregate and the team with the most wins the tourney?

[JoeB1233]

It won't be. :( I'll try hosting again.

EDIT: I'd be down for that. Are we ignoring our first win?

[Rig]

Whatever works best. I'm almost certain it's my end. I live in the middle of nowhere, and most of my matches were done while I was at college.

[JoeB1233]

Okay, so. Me versus FallMoon, and Rig versus evergoo? Best of three 1v1. Winners, if on opposing teams, also do 1v1 for Championship?

[Rig]

Works for me. Goo, you should host.

[JoeB1233]

I hope FallMoon is seeing the forums...

EDIT: We finished. I won 2-1. I'll edit this and add more details later. But we'll play more for now. GGs FallMoon!

[evergoo]

Finished our laggy matches. I won 3-0. GGs Rig.

EDIT: I'll still upload that one 'successful' team match so others can see how much Nintendo cares about online Smash.

[JoeB1233]

FULL BATTLE REPORT

So we started off our games - as intended - in teams. We had a few games that got disconnected before we actually finished a very laggy game.


Joe's Mad Goo (King Dedede and R.O.B.) d. Peachachu (Meta Knight and Kirby) @ Battlefield - This game was extremely laggy. So, honestly, I don't remember much. We exchanged blows until Rig was knocked out. At that point, Goo and I each had two lives to FallMoon's one. She went on the offensive against Goo, and shuttle looped him far off the stage. Unfortunately, she landed perfectly in front of me to finish her off with a forward smash. Game!

After several more failed attempts to get a game completed, we agreed to do duels and let the outcome of those determine the championship. I faced off against FallMoon. Here are the results.


JoeB1233 (King Dedede) d. FallMoon (Meta Knight) @ Final Destination - This was a pretty nice match. I managed to annoy the crap out of Meta Knight by throwing a million Waddle Dees. Fortunately for me, I threw three Gordos that happened to penetrate Meta Knight's tornado/drill. I'm pretty sure that those put me over the top. In addition, Meta Knight lost a life by mis-spacing a shuttle loop.



JoeB1233 (King Dedede) d. FallMoon (Peach) @ Final Destination - More of the same here. I threw about a million Waddle Dees at Peach, slowing down her float game severely. And now being able to chain throw, I was pretty comfortable. I managed to take her down to her last life before losing my first. I don't remember quite how the match ended, but it was 2-0 at the end.



FallMoon (Olimar) d. JoeB1233 (Ness) @ Final Destination - This was pretty close. My Ness game is pretty limited, so FallMoon was doing pretty well at letting me come to her and then punishing. I lost the first life before taking FM's first with a spike. After that I pulled ahead briefly before being punished severely by FM. I don't really remember how, but it came down to my last life versus hers, and, well, she won. That was a nice game! :applause:

In goo's duel with Rig, goo won 3-0. And, with that, it looks like the winner of this tournament is:

Mad D and evergoo, let me know which 1000 point Wii game you'd like!

[Rig]

Good games to you guys.

[evergoo]

Sadly, that's a crappy way to end this tournament. I don't think we can do anymore tournaments until Nintendo fixes their problems.

Out of curiosity, who donated those points? I wanna thank them for their generosity.

Last but not least...

Thanks to EVERYONE for participating in this tournament!

[JoeB1233]

Sadly, that's a crappy way to end this tournament. I don't think we can do anymore tournaments until Nintendo fixes their problems.

I think a 1v1 tourney might be tolerable, but anything more than that is simply inconceivable at this point. It really is sad - hopefully Nintendo has an upcoming solution.

Out of curiosity, who donated those points? I wanna thank them for their generosity.

'Twas me! I hosted, so, I give!


Thanks to EVERYONE for participating in this tournament!

Agreed! Thanks, guys, for sticking this out until the end! I know it was pretty slow there at the end, but at least we had some fun, ya? :D I'm glad to have hosted this tourney with evergoo - who, by the way, deserves high praise. He played extremely skillfully, oversaw the bracket, and helped with a lot of the decisions. So, thanks goo! :applause: Couldn't have done this without you!

[Mad D]

Mad D and evergoo, let me know which 1000 point Wii game you'd like!Oh no no, I'll give my half to Marc. I felt like I didn't participate enough (wish I could have in the earlier rounds like we agreed but all those scheduling problems got in the way when the tournament started, what back in May? :lol:). Anyways I just got back from seeing The Dark Knight and need some sleep, I'm sure Marc won't mind my decision. Very nice of you to donate those points Joe.

[Daisydog]

Congratulations! :applause:
You guys are impossibly tough! Enjoy those points :bouncy:


Lag wasn't too unbearable for me. The stress of getting everyone together was the worse part, but I still had loads of fun. Team :whee: went way farther that I expected us to go :lol:

[evergoo]

I'm glad to have hosted this tourney with evergoo - who, by the way, deserves high praise. He played extremely skillfully, oversaw the bracket, and helped with a lot of the decisions. So, thanks goo! :applause: Couldn't have done this without you!

Joe, I think you deserve the most applause for your tremendous efforts in organizing this tourney :applause:. Honestly, you did most of the dirty work (gathering 16 teams, lots of PMs, deadlines, forfeit decisions, etc.), whereas I was just there for support.

Competition-wise, I think we picked up for each other's slack. I saved us from SHOW US YOUR MOVES and you returned that favor against PEACHACHU when I played poorly. I still won't forget that miracle I pulled off against Arikado and Mr. Beef.

Regarding the prizes, I think we already rewarded one another awhile ago with the Dr. Mario gifting ;).

[Gothic Walrus]

Sadly, that's a crappy way to end this tournament. I don't think we can do anymore tournaments until Nintendo fixes their problems.

I'm starting to wonder if it's EVER going to get fixed. The lag hasn't really improved any since the game first came out, and you could argue it's getting worse - it used to be that friend matches weren't too bad but the random matchups were virtually unplayable. Now, they're both lagfests.

I had no idea the tournament was still going on. Congrats to Joe's Mad Goo, and I'll try to put up a better fight and not lose so quickly if and when we give it another go. :)
