Preparing for Europe Brawl Release

[Faltzer]

Just announcing this early, once Brawl is released in Europe, I'll be able to present the new Brawl site, along with hosting an entire VGLan Brawl Tourney. I'll update you guys once the official site is ready for use.

[PKMN Trainer Red]

Sounds pretty cool.


I won't miss this tournament.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Finally. Europeans and Australians (here's looking at you, Magikku and Doc-Yoshi :winks:) will finally be able to enjoy Brawl at last. Only 15/16 more days to go.

Hang in there, euro/aussie folks.

[Aaron]

Count me in the tourney. I can't wait for it.

[Mud Fish Pokémon Swampert]

Awesome! Count me in! I'm not going to get a warn for not being able to join this tourney.

[Big Eater Pokémon Munchlax]

how do you plan to make Americans play against Europeans without complaining about the lag?

[Mud Fish Pokémon Swampert]

That actually wouldn't be too much of a problem. My friend played some Japanese guy without any lag.

[Aaron]

I hope there are many contestants.

[Commander Zaktan]

Good, I'll be practicing when it is release.

[Neth]

Count me in as well! I'm going to practice later.

[Danny Koopa]

I'll join the tourny, as soon as I get my Wii fixed. :T_T:

[Quiet Attrition]

This tournament will prolly be huge............so I'm in.

[Aaron]

Can't wait to hear the rules.

[Mud Fish Pokémon Swampert]

One of them definitely be only join if you can be there the day it happens, unless of course you want an infraction.

[Faltzer]

^ Yeah, that. We don't want a letdown from anybody here.

[Aaron]

Good. You'll definitely see me when the time comes.

[OmegaSlayer]

Meh, I'm staying away from this one anyway. I have bad experiences with arriving on time and such. So good luck with this little tournament ya are having.

[Faltzer]

It'd be nice if all Brawl players that have Wi-Fi could join up on the tourney.

[SamsterBoy]

Took them long enough.

[Aaron]

Took them long enough.

Yeah...what was with the delay (also I recommend reviving the Brawl Friend Code topic).

[Gym Leader Lt.Surge]

I'll see to it that I can fight.

Now to check my schedule...

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Interesting.

[Aaron]

Maybe we outta have some practice together before the tourney.

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Sounds hawt.

But I don't excel in SSBB as I do MKWii, so nah...

[Gold Atrocity]

Crap if we dont play, we get infracted? I hope I dont work that day...I might just miss out. If I was living by myself, and guareenteed no interruptions, I'd join the tourney.

[_______]

Can't let you do that, Faltzer.
Count me in.

[BlakDragon]

Awesome. I probs won't be able to attend though (nor would I want to probably xP) as I'm probably moving around that timeframe and have to do a bunch of work to prepare. :O Good luck to everyone else that competes though. :D

Just throwing this out there: is there gonna be a prize, such as a VC game or something? o.o

[bolmedias14]

A tourney? Sounds good to me. I of course got an import copy of the game, because I really could not wait. One thing I will say now is that when I tried to play against someone I know using FCs, it didn't work for me. He said it was my crappy netgear router, although recently it has been better. So, is there anyone who I can play a test match against to see if my connection works?

[Faltzer]

Crap if we dont play, we get infracted? I hope I dont work that day...I might just miss out. If I was living by myself, and guareenteed no interruptions, I'd join the tourney.

Nonono, Super Sonic. I refer to, if you are a contestant, you have to agree that you can attend on the schedule given to you, no matter what.

[Jeffhog]

I am SO in!!!

Good thing it's during the summertime too!

[Big Eater Pokémon Munchlax]

I would be in.

But I'll confirm only after I hear the rules (I don't like "THE OFFICIAL TOURNEY AND EVERY TOURNEY CONFORMS TO IT" rules D:).

[Gym Leader Sabrina]

Maaaaaaaan, why do I need to be going to the Canary Islands exactly one day after release in the UK!?????!?!!!!?

@Eric: If you were a girl, I;d be glad that you winked at me but because you're a man and I'm a boy, I'm creeped out lawl.

[Kanto Champion Lance]

I may join, but it depends whether I'm free that day.

[Faltzer]

^ Only join if you're sure you'll attend, kid. We don't want letdowns and to have to disqualify you for not attending.

[Kanto Champion Lance]

^ Only join if you're sure you'll attend, kid. We don't want letdowns and to have to disqualify you for not attending.

Yeah.
I need to know the date before I join.

[NightmareBros]

I'm just going to be actually playing the game (if it isn't delaymastah'd last minute), as apposed to be in this tourney, and plus I can't get a wi-fi so, I'm no not going to be in.

[Faltzer]

You'll get the date when the tournament is ready to take place. K? K.

[Aaron]

You'll get the date when the tournament is ready to take place. K? K.

Whatever you say, K.K. Slider.

I'll do it.

[Zeo]

I don't think I'll participate in this one, I'm not good with being on time and junk.

Good luck everybody.

[dorko4u]

You can't plan out when you'll have an interupption or not...

[Gym Leader Misty]

Ill probably join in.
when does the tourney start?

[Faltzer]

Ill probably join in.
when does the tourney start?

You'll get the date when the tournament is ready to take place. K? K.

[Aaron]

I hate it when people don't read the posts before they post themselves.

[Gym Leader Misty]

>_< my bad.

[Aaron]

Hmm...we all need something to do until then...

[_______]

We need Tournyfag Rules.

[Aaron]

We need Tournyfag Rules.

Yeah, that way we can practice using the rules.

[Faltzer]

^ I fucking lol'd.

[Faltzer]

HARD

[Aaron]

HARD

No rocks.

[I-Rock]

:hah::hah::hah:

[Aaron]

Solid.

[Space YEEAAAAAAAAAH X]

[Faltzer]

[Aaron]

Kewl.

[Aaron]

Definition. (:hah:)

[Faltzer]

Stop raping the :hah: smiley.

[Aaron]

Stop raping the :hah: smiley.

K. Seriously though, a good definition of TourneyFag would be appreciated.

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Stop raping the :hah: smiley.

I hate myself for adding that when I was mod, but I mostly blame Tero for posting it and requesting it being added.

[Aaron]

A good definition of TourneyFag would be appreciated.

[Faltzer]

But it does cause some lulz every once in a while.

[Aaron]

But it does cause some lulz every once in a while.

Rarely.

[Faltzer]

^ I just realized that you think adding to something makes it funny.

[Aaron]

^ I just realized that you think adding to something makes it funny.

I wasn't trying to be funny in that post. I was merely stating my opinion as well as agreeing with you.

And sometimes it does.

[Yoshiller]

I'll be in the tourney. I may be pretty bad, but it's worth a shot.

[Aaron]

I'll be in the tourney. I may be pretty bad, but it's worth a shot.

I just had an idea. You could join in the tourney matches, kill yourself, and record the videos for all to enjoy!

[Gym Leader Misty]

Ill probably get owned if i enter the tourney.
But it cant hurt to try.

[Yoshiller]

I just had an idea. You could join in the tourney matches, kill yourself, and record the videos for all to enjoy!

Not a bad idea. I'd call it, VGLan Tourney Matches!

[Aaron]

But it cant hurt to try.

Can't hurt at all. The more the merrier.

[Yoshiller]

Can't hurt at all. The more the merrier.

I'd probably get PWNed early too. Meh, worth a shot right?

[Aaron]

I'd probably get PWNed early too. Meh, worth a shot right?
Yeah. Now let's see if Faltzer likes the video idea.

[Yoshiller]

Yeah. Now let's see if Faltzer likes the video idea.

I PMed him. Bass.exe right? Yeah, I just gotta see if he thinks it's alright.

[Aaron]

I PMed him. Bass.exe right? Yeah, I just gotta see if he thinks it's alright.

Right.

[Yoshiller]

:thumbs: I'm good to go. I can record the matches.

[Aaron]

:thumbs: I'm good to go. I can record the matches.

Cool.

[OmegaSlayer]

Oh Aaron, let me answer your question that you asked a while back:

A tournament faggot (or tourneyfag as you know) is the slang term given to people that seriously play competitive mulitplayer games.

In other words, it's EVIL to play on a few stages and have no items.

[Aaron]

A tourneyfag is a person that play Smash Bros. based solely on the concept that a "true champion" will play using only the "skills related to the characters".

You'd figure that they could manage with items anyways, but no, because "it gives an unfair advantage to the other player". Which makes no sense considering that anyone can use an item. I rather think that is because items are unpredictable, and Tourneyfags can't deal with anything unpredictable.

And same is said about stage hazards, even thought they affect everyone, not just the tourneyfags.

What we mean is, Brawl isn't just a game of Character Skills. It's also a game where you have to take advantage of what you have at hand and be careful not to fall into the Boiling Lava. My ideology of a true champion is that he can do all of this.

[Faltzer]

Truly skilled players can deal with anything, in factuality.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

A True Smash Master should be able to win on any stage, regardless of it's hazards.

[Big Eater Pokémon Munchlax]

Truly skilled players can deal with anything, in factuality.

My thought exactly.

[Jean Yves Lafesse]

i already got brawl :P but unfortuantely the only wii i got it working on that i can freely use has no internets or wifi :(

[Yoshiller]

BTW, during the time the tournament goes on, I will not accept any challenges by friends. That way, I have enough space on my video camera to record everything, and I don't get stressed out.

[I-Rock]

<3

[Sharc]

Fine Imma sign up :c

[Aaron]

Fine Imma sign up :c

Cool.

[Dan]

No, it's because some items give a completely unfair advantage. It's not as simple as, "Oh he's got a starman/hammer, just dodge him..." as most tournament fighters are at the skilled enough level that they can easily chase the other player leaving the other player with no defense or way to counter.
I know I'd be steamed if lost a tournament that would've given me $100 just because the other player had a hammer appear next to him and got 2 KOs out of me when he only had 1 stock left and was at 100%+
I figure they banned all items as it was simpler to just say, "No items!" Instead of... "well you can use such and such items... but not this or that." And to prevent an argument on what is the overall accepted frequency that items should appear at.

And same is said about stage hazards, even thought they affect everyone, not just the tourneyfags.
This I agree on. If you're skilled enough you should be able to deal with stage hazards... also they give the gameplay a good mixture of strategy instead of just seeing who has the better reflexes.


In other news... I'm selling some "virtual pet" junk so that I'll have enough money to buy a wii. I may be able to compete in the tournament provided I get the money soon and the store has a wii and a copy of brawl available for me to buy.

[Xan]

I was about to sign up, up until I realised you thought it would be a smart idea to hold the tournament basically on the same day that the game hits Europe.

I'm not going to join up. Seems stupid that my first couple of matches will be against campers who have already unlocked wolf, snake and Lucario's ghey-ass routines.

[Faltzer]

Actually, the tournament won't be held that same day, as I thought that it would be best to let the newer people complete the majority of it, and have an understanding of everything before taking on the more experienced players.

[Yoshiller]

That's good. That way, I have more time to get preperations set up for my recording. Also, the game is released on a day I can't record it. So, I'd say give everyone 3 weeks after the game has come out. That should give them enough time to get used to the game.

[Aaron]

Aw, I was hoping to Brawl sooner...oh well.

It sounds to me like your definition of brawl is a casual one, and there is nothing wrong with that at all, I just think that you are hating on the "Tourneyfags" like myself. When I play my brother or my friends, I personally prefer every serious match to be Final Destination with no items, 1-3 life stock because we know a true brawler should be able to win without lucksacking a KO from the stage or getting a hammer. Although you think that items are free to everyone and stages effect everyone, in all honesty, they arn't. Plus, we don't want to be bogged down with other effects that make the game less fun while we play a serious match. I'm not sure if it's just me, but when i play a serious match, I get focused, I preform better, But most importantly, I have fun. Hardcore fun.

BTW, "Tourneyfags" don't hate casual play, they just want an honest game more often than others.

While some people can find competitive play entertaining, a true player can deal with anything when it comes to battle.

[Neth]

Thanks for telling Faltzer. Also too I have a question. What will the tournament be like?

[Faltzer]

When the day comes, you will see. The details will all be there.

[Aaron]

When the day comes, you will see. The details will all be there.

Well, I wish you luck on making the tournament a successful one.

[Quiet Attrition]

Even extreme lag?

[Aaron]

Even extreme lag?

What ARE we gonna do about lag anyway? Have all the Americans fight each other for a Finals spot, then all the Europeans for a Finals spot?

[Big Eater Pokémon Munchlax]

Even extreme lag?

GTFO!

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Mandew really needs a hobby. He's starting to get carried away with the walls of text.

[Aaron]

GTFO!

oshit, Mandews gonna BLOW! *is disintegrated in a hellish anger explosion*

[Faltzer]

=P
*shot*

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Wrong thread, Betty.

[Aaron]

Wrong thread, Betty.

I wonder which of you two would win in a fight...

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

I wonder how your mother is doing after all that last night...

[Aaron]

I wonder how your mother is doing after all that last night...

oshit-

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Coincidentally, that just rhymed.

Now get back to your Brawl league. I want to see how the title and rank system pans out here.

[Aaron]

Coincidentally, that just rhymed.
It did, didn't it?...
I want to see how the title and rank system pans out here.
What do you mean?

[Faltzer]

Dammit MW, don't spoil just yet. :ugly:

[Aaron]

Dammit MW, don't spoil just yet. :ugly:

...I take it I missed something.

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

o i c

You haven't given away everything yet. Oh well...

[Yoshiller]

So, if you're making a new Brawl section on VGLan, what will it be like? If you say it'll keep our ranks or whatever after the tournament, do you mean like who got first place and whatever?

[Faltzer]

Uh, please do not ask about it now, Yoshiller. I don't want to spoil any of this.

[Yoshiller]

K, no prob. So about that.

[Aaron]

This VGLAN Brawl Tournament will be fun and exciting, but for the Wifi lag on Brawl it will be not fun.
