Let's get ready to rumble! NinSheetMusic's first Super Smash Bros tournament is about to begin!
The games played are Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and/or Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, assuming enough players are found for each game.
BracketWii U
3DS
RulesItems are set to off.
All characters are available, with the exception of Mii Figher.
No customizations.
Each set is played as a best of three.
All the matches in a set are 3-stock 8-minute matches
If the time runs out, the player with most stocks remaining wins. If stocks are tied, the player with less damage is the winner. No sudden death.
The first match is played on Battlefield. The second match is played on a stage chosen by the loser of the first match. The possible third match is played on a stage selected by the loser of the second match. The stages are chosen from the list below.
Alternatively, the players can come up with another method for choosing the stages, assuming both players agree with the method.
The tournament is played using a double elimination format, meaning that a player is eliminated after two losses. Therefore everyone gets at least two sets. After losing a set, a player is placed in the losers' bracket. The winners of the winners' bracket and losers' bracket then face each other in the grand finals. The losers' bracket winner must win two sets against the winners' bracket winner to become the champion.
After completing a set, one of the players of the set should report the results of the match in this topic. The post should include the character(s) used and the result of the set, using for example the following formatting:
Jamaha (Mario, Dr. Mario) 2
DekuTrombonist (Luigi) 1
Feel free to include any interesting comments so we spectators can pretend we saw the match. You may then proceed to the next set at your own pace, assuming the matchup has already been formed in the bracket.

The deadline for signups is
January 2nd OVER.As the number of matches and people's schedules most likely differ the tournament will be organized over several days. Whenever a new matchup is generated, said people then have 48 hours to play that match and report the result. The tournament ends once all matches have been played (duh).

I'm in, but only for the Wii U version.
I would like to ban Diddy Kong.
Ooh I'm in for the Wii U version
In for Wii U version!
I will defeat all who come. Wii U.
I wish I could join, but I don't have SSB for Wii U or 3DS.
I can help with brackets and behind the scenes stuff, though!
in for both
Hey Jamaha, I like this idea but......could we do it for Mario Kart 8 too? :)
Wii for me. Ban shulk or at least his stupid blue thing
Wii U for me, but if I don't have an ethernet adapter I won't be able to participate. I'll let you know.
Tho shalt not ban Shulk
I wont win but I'll play 3DS for funsies assuming we can get non laggy games going :x
I would say no Mii and no custom character would be a good standard ruleset to adopt. We should also pick a map pool since nothing but FD is actually not that gud.
Yeah, no Miis and no customizations probably simplifies it. No other character bans.
And yeah, I'll come up with a stage list. Try to figure out the fair stages while still getting some variety. For Glory stagelist ("list") is dumb.
should we just do omega modes
I hate dying to stage hazards
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on December 30, 2014, 11:19:18 AMBan shulk or at least his stupid blue thing
Hey, would you stop being so sore over that?
IN. WiiU.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on December 30, 2014, 02:47:52 PMshould we just do omega modes

We'll probably just allow all omega stages and all stages without hazards. e.g. Battlefield, Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing whatever, etc.
SIGN ME UP!
WIIU!
I'll play! Wii U only though because my 3DS's controls are unreliable.
in for 3DS
I would, but I don't have internet whenever I'd like, so yeah... Maybe some point down the track, like within the next 10 years... XD
Added a stage list. Discuss.
As for selecting the stage, ideally it would be random for first match and then the loser of the previous match selects the next stage. But apparently the only option for stage select in SSBU is having both players choose and then select randomly from those. Having both players select the random stage doesn't really work as there isn't an option to verify that the selected stage actually was randomly selected.
So for the first match we can either select a neutral starting stage that is used in all sets, which both players then select. Alternatively I can randomly select a stage for each matchup. As for the followup matches, the losing player needs to inform the other player on their choice (via the game's voice chat or through other means) so that both players can select the stage.
Or we can come up with some other solution. Unless I'm overthinking this whole thing?
You're overthinking it, just randomize whatever stages we choose.
Personally I'm not a fan of banning stages, but I suppose I'm outvoted in that regard.
Just do a randomized omega stage. There ya go.
I'd go with Battlefield for the starter.
Anyways, I'm in for 3DS.
Yea nothing but FD is not good lol, we can just add in the other good stages like delfino, battlefield, yoshis island, etc
please FD is so annoying ;-;

I thought this might be a help.
I'm in, 3DS
also hahahaha it took me a second to realize what FD was referring to and i was like
i wasn't even involved here guys cmon
Though to be fair, I am one of those people who prefers relatively few stages other than final destination/omega form, at least for tournament setups (dynamic stage hazards are a bit silly for competitive play)

obviously nothing with stage hazards would be allowed, but at least having some platforms would be nice
in on 3ds
Please, no woolly world.
Quote from: Maelstrom on January 02, 2015, 02:58:38 PMPlease, no woolly world.
I second this, the Woolly World stage is garbage and I usually like maps with stage hazards.
Woolly World is gone.
Just like the deadline for signups! That means we're ready. I've updated the ruleset to the first post.
Also, I generated the bracket for the Wii U tournament. See it in the first post and right here:
Wii U
Due to the number of players the bracket might be a bit wonky. Also, not everyone has a match yet, so some players need to wait for previous results before starting. But for the rest of the players?
ROUND ONE!
FIGHT!
aww crap
Can I haz bye
Well then.
Looks like we might get to play afterall, Maestro. :D
No, maestro's MINE.
First match of the 3DS tournament!
Jamaha (Zelda) 2
FireArrow (Olimar, Peach, Marth) 1
Also updated the bracket, because I can.
Great game! JaMaHa wins.
FireArrow (Olimar, Peach, Marth) 1
JaMaHa (Zelda) 2
Game 1 [JaMaHa]: Super close, that teleport mind game was sexy.
Game 2 [FireArrow]: I played like shit and only won because of lag. I also learned that holding the jump button while floating prevents you from air dodging.
Game 3 [JamaHa]: Damn, If I didn't mess up my recovery everytime I got a lead - air dodging your demon while fast falling was not smart. Advice would be to mix up more grabs into your play, you could of punished me for shield grabbing so much.
Really enjoyed this, I learned some zelda combos from watching you. :-)
Yeah, good game.
And you're right, grabs are something I really need to improve. For some reason I have way too much trouble grabbing.
Quote from: Jamaha on January 03, 2015, 03:01:12 PMYeah, good game.

It doesn't help that zelda has the grab range of a tooth pick.
First match of the WiiU tournament!
Dudeman (R.O.B.): 2
Pit0010 (Pit, Toon Link): 0
Fantastic game, Pit! I need to work on countering projectiles and predicting shields.
So now I need to wait two whole matches. What am I going to do with my life?
Haha great match bro :P I think you got an rough idea of how I was gonna attack and you predict most of my moves well :P I got a hold of your ground pattern though heh :P
Dem fail jumps back to the surface though xDDD
I winced a little inside each time that happened. X)
awright dude if you get on within the next 2 hours we can face off.
He's banned. Won't return for two days.
Waaaadle where are you? We must do battle!
Oh wait are kefka and I supposed to fight now?
I should probably put my friend code up tonight huh

Jamaha (Princess Zelda) 2
Echo (Prince Marth, Peasant Mac) 0
Got rekt so hard. Game 1 was just bad on a different level 'cause of lag (like, unresponsive Up-B suiciding kinds of bad >_>). Game 2 was more fun though, since it ran way smoother, and it was just two powerhouse characters KO-ing at way too low percents.
Waddle Bro (Duck Hunt, Dedede): 2
K-NiGhT (Lucario, Yoshi): 0
Not gonna lie this match was total ass on my part. Made so many careless mistakes and just royally fucked up. I SD'd twice in the second match when input lag decided that Yoshi wanted to do a Side-B instead of an Up-B. After that I just ran off the third time cuz there was no point. Good luck, Waddle! :D
^See above for results
Because of annoying input lag I had to spam projectiles and smash attacks, because my neutral attacks and combos not working but it worked out in the end. The second match was indeed ass in K-NiGhT's part and I feel sorry after I jumped on him fucking up his recovery, he eggrolls to death. :(
Thanks man, I hope to face you again! for an easy victory
I should be able to fight sometime tomorrow evening. I'll likely record this for posterity, if that's alright with you Maelstrom and whoever else I might face.
I'm really busy tomorrow, but I have Tuesday off, Jamaha!

That is like the one day that doesn't work for me. Tuesday night? Wednesday? And, I think I'm OK with the recording.
I'll pretty much be on every night waiting lol
Tuesday works.

So Dude, since you do not have your friend code in your forum profile, and you are probably unable to access my profile, here is my friend code: 0130-2544-6121
I feel like even in the slim chance I beat Maelstrom/Maestro, JaMaHa or Waddle Bro could both wipe the floor with me. I'm so screwed lol
@Davy: check the 3DS code topic. (http://forum.ninsheetm.us/index.php?topic=3690.0)

lol you think YOU'RE screwed :P
Dude (Marth): 2
davy (Robin, Falco): 0
Congrats, Dude!
I'm still way too predictable, I guess. Landed some arcfires and thunders (and one thoron) in the first match, but in close range, I got pretty much all of my attacks countered. I started the seccond match pretty cheap, sniping him from the distance and Falco Fantasming away when he came close, but due to not knowing well how to recover with Falco I ended up self destructing so I had to abandon that plan. Finally got the hang of the grabbing game to get past his counter during the end game and managed to score a pretty sweet KO, but it was way to late to win me the match.
K so dude and I played a game he beat me 3-1
but he was playing marth so it doesn't count or something???
Huh? Why wouldn't it?
Also apparently he accidentally left after the first match. Get back if you can.
I hate all the fire emblem characters >.>
Ugh now I lost 3-2
if he wouldn't use dumb characters I might have a chance
How is marth dumb? He's a relatively skill based character (bar counter and F-Smash spamming, but that's not a very good strategy.)
ALL HEAVY FAST STRONG CHARACTERS WITH SWORDS ARE DUMB
Most of the Fire Emblem characters are pretty slow though. :-\
we can throw shulk in there too
he's dumb too
regardless, dude won fair and square, and it's not like I was expecting to win ;D
so now I have to face maestro???
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 04, 2015, 02:30:27 PMALL HEAVY FAST STRONG CHARACTERS WITH SWORDS ARE DUMB
based on this expert analysis, it's a wonder how you lost
Well see I was close to winning the second one but when I was going to ^B to grab on to the ledge I accidentally >B and the time it takes to whip out the boomerang had me fall so far that I couldn't recover.
Then I killed him twice in a row!!! :D
So I'm facing Dude next, right?
I think everybody should be forced to play ike against nocturne for amusement purposes.
Whose amusement exactly
my own amusement
I'm counting on you, Nebbles! I don't want to fight Dude's scary Marth...

My big brother used to main Marth. He was good.
I may have been scarred for life.
I wanna get better as Marth, but then again I might as well just main Lucina instead since she's kind of the same.

Lucina is literally just a worse marth.
I thought Lucina was pretty good?
Quote from: Nebbles on January 04, 2015, 08:17:01 PMI thought Lucina was pretty good?
She is.
She's still worse than marth.
Ah. Still, I'll try using them both and see which one I like using better.
Jamaha, i would just like to say that your layout thingo of the matches is just AMAZING! SO EASY TO READ! XD
Quote from: Nebbles on January 04, 2015, 08:17:01 PMI thought Lucina was pretty good?
She's basically Marth without tippers. I'd say she's mid tier while Marth is upper mid tier.
But her run animation goes under quite a few projectiles if timed correctly.
Marth's does as well I think?
I specifically remember hearing from Smash commentators that her animation is lower, so.... idk if I'm right or not.
I don't really know so I'll just take your word for it.
Still doesn't make up for the lack of tippers.
It just depends if you can rely on tippers or not. :P A close smash with Marth does nothing compared to the tip. If your opponent can take advantage of that....
Damn it, I missed sign up.
I'm starting to think jamaha made this tourney cause he knew he would win
Hmm...
Quote from: Maelstrom on January 05, 2015, 12:53:03 PMIt just depends if you can rely on tippers or not. :P A close smash with Marth does nothing compared to the tip. If your opponent can take advantage of that....
Well, that's where spacing comes in. The only move marth really gets punished for not tipping is Fair.

I wouldn't say "nothing", but it
is noticeably less than with Lucina. It's not like an opponent benefits by being hit close up as opposed to by the tip, they just aren't hurt
as much. The only way they can really take advantage of it is by predicting that you'll go for the tip, and avoiding it entirely.
I think it's really just that Lucina and Marth require slightly different playstyles. Dancing blade is more effective with Lucina, because you'll do full damage for every hit you get off, whereas Marth's you'll be lucky to get his full damage for two of them. So, I tend to use it more often with Lucina than I do with Marth. In high level play, the main point where tippers come into play is ledgeguarding, since you're more able to manipulate where you'll hit people when you know where they have to land/come up from the ledge.
In most other situations, it seems a bit reliant on the opponent not also being at a high skill level to say that good players should be able to hit with the tip, because by that logic they should also be able to avoid it. The reality is that even the best players won't always get tippers, but they may get it enough to justify the non-tip damage decrease. I see it as more of a matter of preference; do you want to worry about tippers or not?

I see it as more of a matter of preference; do you want to worry about tippers or not?
The idea isn't "Marth is better than Lucina because he has higher damage output when played perfectly." It's "Marth is better than Lucina because he can kill people at ridiculously low percents."
How come nobody's brought up the fact that marth is a man and is therefore in every way superior to lucina, a mere woman???
I swear if somebody doesn't realize this is sarcasm...
Because that is dumb and not even amusing as an antijoke.
In more relevant news, FD and I are unable to connect to each other even when I've switched from connecting to my home network to tethering to my phone. Is there anyone else we can test with to see if one or the other has the main issue?
Yeah I'm just gonna host a game, I've added most people here so if somebody could add the friend code in my profile (if you haven't already) and try to join it/kefka's, it would be much appreciated
Yeah, firearrow and I just had a full match with pretty minimal lag, I think it's on your end :/
ya Nintendo's wise decision of relying entirely on peer to peer makes it so anyone like me on a network that has Strict NAT is fuxed. You have at least Moderate probably, and I must occasionally get lucky in For Glory and match up with somebody that has an Open NAT, since that is the only type of the 3 that I am able to connect to.
You can just count me as double forfeit since I'm not going to waste any more time trying to work around Nintendo's online incompetence.
peer to peer is more fair though
even though it screws everyone over
Does not change my present high sodium level
MAYBE Nintendo will get online right next gen... Everybody said this last time but WELL MAYBE THIS TIME RIGHT .-.
I got to try CoD Advanced Warfare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wrong place man
Whoops, I thought this was the thought of the moment thread, sorry.
Jamaha, I'm starting to think it would have been a good idea to look at people's miiverse skill levels before making the bracket lol
Miiverse skill level?...
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 05, 2015, 07:51:17 PMJamaha, I'm starting to think it would have been a good idea to look at people's miiverse skill levels before making the bracket lol
I'm not.
Not based on my experiences in this tournament or anything, it just makes no sense to segregate the bracket in a tournament like this.
Also, do I fight Dude now, or
Yea, you autowin as does davy. And 3DS doesn't have any method of skill ranking whatsoever so that wouldn't work there at all. Plus, I wouldn't say that For Glory is an accurate rating of skill anyway given that it's only Final Destination and may or may not have some lag issue or another. Mostly the FD only part though, that was a silly decision on Nintendo's part given that they could have just looked up all of the standard tournament rules anywhere.

I used the method of drawing names out of a hat, which seemed the most appropriate. I don't really see how different seeding would've changed the situation. Maybe it's more of a problem (if it actually is a problem) with the tournament format itself. That was mainly the point of the double elimination, so losing to a player with a higher skill level doesn't instantly kick you out.
Maybe some kind of Swiss system would have been more appropriate. I just like double elimination.
double elim is fine it's just that I'll probably have to go against people far more skilled than me twice in a row :X
Anyone else feeling the same way?

Waddle Bro (Zero Suit Samus) 2
Jamaha (Zelda) 1
I think I get your complaint now, considering I couldn't find the "1" as no one had gone 2-1 in the Wii U tournament yet.
Awww c'mon!
Even if I win to maestro/m I have to face jamaha :(
ALrrighty then you two should face off so that I can get this over with
for results see jamaha
I guess I should come out with my battle strategies for this match. Even though it was Jamaha's first match in the Wii U tournament, I predicted him to main Zelda based on his two matches in the 3DS tournament where he only used Zelda. I didn't have much experience on how Zelda worked. I didn't want to choose a projectile-based character, but I wanted to go with a character that's agile(to dodge Zelda's dangerous aerial moves).
At first I was relieved how Jamaha had a more campy playstyle with Zelda's special moves, because they were for the most part easy to dodge and play around. I feel like I could have had the first game in the bag, if I hadn't fucked up my recovery so early on. I felt like there was no need for me to switch characters after losing the first game, because Zero Suit Samus felt like she could take Zelda well on.
And in the second game Samus came through. I chose Wrecking Crew(Omega) as the stage, because it's like Final Destination, but I can perform wall jumps.
For the last game Jamaha chose Smashville, and his last death was painful to watch as he just falls past the moving platform and the edge. I think I choked my recovery on either this game or the previous one. I'm angry at how I fell for all your Up-Bs, even though they were easily predictable.
I'm a bad commentator with a short-term memory. Should have saved the replays I guess, meh.
As for constructive criticism for Jamaha, you used your grabs much better than I did, although you should implement your strong aerial moves to your playstyle better. Good luck on your other matches, it was fun to play a great match with someone without hardly any lag!

I still don't really get your reasoning. If you lose, you have to fight against somebody else who lost next. If you won in your system, you'd still have to play somebody who won the next round. And even if you set up the whole thing to to bottom, best to worst (basically any of this is what I meant by segregating the brackets), and it somehow makes it easier for the worse players, is that really fair? That's just arbitrarily delaying the elimination of worse players at the expense of mid-to-upper range players, and that hardly seems adherent to the idea of "finding out who's best". Somebody has to be eliminated earlier on, and not to shit on those who do, it just doesn't make sense to actively plan for that
not to be one of the worse players.

Maelstrom 2 (Shulk, Shulk, Shulk)
Maelstrom got the first match, it was really no contest. For the second and third I swapped fro Pac-Man, cause GW does not fare well against sword users. Maelstrom won in the end and earned himself a hard earned victory. Words describing the actual matches goes here.

Hey, 3DS people.
Anyone wanna fite me? I'm training a character from the ground up and I think some experience might help.
Maestro, do you record all your matches? It'd be really interesting to see them!
Nah, that eats up my hard drive. I thought about doing it for this but I changed my mind when I couldn't be bothered to set up my capture device.
Just a reminder of all the matches to be played at this point:
Wii U

since i'm going back to school soon w/o a LAN adapter, I'm going to forfeit my match against Pit0010. Maybe in the future I'll be able to participate.
GRABBING IS TOO DAMN AWKWARD

Summary:
Grabs = OP.
Spikes = even more OP.
I hate how it's on the other sideeee
I'd beat you in the wii u version.... probably... maybe... idk...
Can somebody let me know when the next tourney starts up? Smash Bros is my jam and I jump and any and every opportunity to school anyone around. ;)
I have both versions but unfortunately no WiiU system yet so I'll only be able to participate in the 3DS version for the time being. But yeah maybe if someone could just pop me a PM after this tourney just in case. I'll try to check in here on my own but I don't want to miss it again.
Switch your L and R in the settings! My grab game was shit until I did that
Grabs are sort of OP unless you play as Robin. :P
Well, there are quite a few characters with slow grabs. Tbh it's what I'm most disappointed with for Little Mac. I really hate trying to develop a grab game with ranged grabbers too, because it's just too punishing. And robin, it's so much more worth it to go for Nosferatu than a grab imo, even if his grab wasn't slow as fuck haha.
But with captain falcon's speed, yes, grabs are insanely effective. I guess that's why they set the knockback on his throws to prevent any reliable combos.
speaking of terrible grabs
greninja tho
I am severely disappointed I missed having a Captain Fabulous mirror match with you.
And yea CF down throw + upair or knee of justice at higher percentages is pretty dang killer

OH MY GOD I KNOW IT'S SO SLOW COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HIM
Like, compared to some slower characters', I guess it's alright, but it messes so much with his rhythm imo. Mostly just worth it against counters.

I know, it would have been glorious D:
Though it's not too difficult to air dodge that combo; horizontal knockback on his down throw is too damn high
Oh jesus christ I get ninjad so much when I post from my phone
Quote from: Dude on January 07, 2015, 06:25:30 PMbut then i can't roll!!!
That's how I felt at first, but it's easier to get used to than the way they have it, imo. It also reflected pretty well on my GCN grab game, because when your right index is just used for grabs, it's much easier to grab coming out of shield/dodge, plus not needing to move that finger around just improved my reaction time in general.
Maestro let me know when you wanna play I'm free all day tomorrow and friday
(I should be anyway assuming my Wii U doesn't randomly disappear)
Maelstrom, if you come on Steam and message me sometime tomorrow or Friday afternoon, there's a good chance we could play.
Dude, I'll be on for the next 3 hours watching anime so just PM.
I'm going to bed though. Sorry.

Will do. Probably on Friday.
Quote from: K-NiGhT on January 07, 2015, 05:44:07 PMsince i'm going back to school soon w/o a LAN adapter, I'm going to forfeit my match against Pit0010. Maybe in the future I'll be able to participate.
AWWW WUT! NOOOOO :<<<<<
I wanna fight someone so baaaaaaaaaaad
Dude and Nebbles hurry up and beat the crap out of each other
(nicely, of course)
I'm ready whenever he is.
Alright maestro what time you wanna play tomorrow
I should be free all day from 7 AM to 10 PM ish
Can't tomorrow.
Blueflower: 2 (Duck Hunt Trio, Ness)
Maelstrom: 0 (Zero Suit Samus, Shulk)
Great match, mostly just spammed projectiles though and that seemed to work fine. Both of my characters have uber good range and great smashes. Maelstrom did very well though, he's much better than I'll ever be. XD
Oh Maestro vs Maelstrom was match C?
I guess I'm dyxlexic cause I thought they were G.
Hey mael you want to play ours quick or you need to cool off?
Not now. I need to figure out a better anti-projectile strategy.
Well, motherfucker. My Wii U is giving me a disc read error for Smash. I'm going to try to fix it so I can still participate in the tourney.
Just as planned...awww...
Mael! Fite me!
FierceDeity (Captain Falcon) 2
Jamaha (Zelda, Mario) 0
Well, that was embarrassing. Anyway...
FierceDeity makes it to the Grand Finals! Who shall fight their way through the loser's bracket for revenge?
FierceDeity, what Cpt Falcon skin do you use? (Please say pink)
Yup, Captain Fabulous all the way.
there's a problem with the 3ds bracket
There's a problem with pretty much everything NSM-hosted right now.
EDIT: Fixed, I hope.
Damn it fierce, now I have to face JaMaHa again if I want to go to finals. >_>

It still says nintendo beat kefka 2-0 so...
Yeah dude, Nintendo wrecked Kefka's shit. By still not knowing how to do online correctly.
If you read back to why you will understand .-.
Oh I see
I guess it's funny but it doesn't really make sense
Makes quite a bit of sense, but alright
I thought it was pretty funny, and fits perfectly ::)
Yeah jamaha I'd been meaning to say how much I appreciated that haha
Waddle Bro (Greninja): 2
blueflower999 (Duck Hunt Duo, Little Mac, Ness): 1
Kind of predicted every character that Blue was going to choose, had the suspicion that he'd start with Duck Hunt after his previous game. Didn't feel like changing characters after seeing how well the first match went. Won the first game with all three stocks left, nothing much there to say.
The second match Blue wanted to play on Boxing Ring even though it wasn't on the op's stage list, but I agreed to it, even though I predicted him to use Little Mac on it after he wanted to choose that stage. I didn't care much if I'd lose, because I knew I would get to choose the next stage if I did, so Little Mac wouldn't be a problem for the last game. Again, not much else there to say, but this one was a really close game which I lost!
Chose Wuhu Island as the last stage because idk I just happen to like it. Lots of fun things happened in this match like me pulling off the most perfect air dodge I've ever done against Ness' PK Thunder slam and it felt so satisfying. Also water shuriken returned to sender by the baseball bat was pretty funny. Unfortunately Blue messes up his second stock early on by trying to recover immediately under a solid platform. I take the game with full three stocks left and there's that.
Good luck to blue and I hope you get a chance to redeem yourself!!
My disc is working again! Dude, we gotta battle.
Lmk when
I can do it now?
OK I'll be right there
I'll probably lose though cuz I'm so tired.
Rad.
Oh wait.
Mom's playing Dr Luigi. :(
Tomorrow? Sorryyyyyyyyyyyy

I think so. I'll post again later when I double check.
And I'm just sitting here like
Imagine how blue must feel at this point :P
would i just automatically go into the next stage coz k-night forfeit :'<
That's how a forfeit works, yes
hmmm yeah i know...xD But just thought maybe I could go up against someone else that's waiting... just to be fair xDD
Pit you could always ask me for a fight :D
MAEL I MIGHT NOT HAVE INTERNET TOMORROW

no i need to play phoenix wright and go to bed.
That would sound good! :D we'll see ;)
dude we need to play sometime ;-;
Alright mael I'm awake and have internet

OK I'm up I can battle anyone.
Anyone want to play for funsies?
Dude, I'm waiting online.
You guys should totally have a 3 way fight with me after
cuz mael's scared or something
Dude and I finally had our match, and it was close, but I came victorious! He likes Marth. A lot. There were so many damn counters you think you were in an Ikea store.
First match: Link vs Marth
Dude beat me in this one, but it was pretty close. My Link game needs some improvement. A clash of pretty swordsmen.
Second match: Shulk vs Marth
Bless you, Monado arts. Smash Monado got me some nice kills. Went to sudden death, and I was really feeling it, and won.
Third match: Robin vs Marth
Which Fire Emblem character is better? Robin, of course. ANOTHER Sudden Death, but Arcthunder saved the day! Go me!
ASDF
SO DAMN CLOSE
WHY DID I FALL I COMPLETELY FORGOT I THOUGHT I COULD SAVE THAT WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
and weren't the rules 3 stock 8 min not just 8 min??
Yeah 3-stock 8-min. Idk why you had sudden deaths xD
Yeah, not to complicate things but I feel like you guys broke a couple of rules
It is supposed to be 3 stock 8 minutes, and there isn't supposed to be any sudden death
O wait ninja'd
sudden deaths are the deaths of me
HAHA YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO IT OVER
All that waiting and you f***** it up.
Good job!
welp, fuck. great.
I'm ok with losing this match if it speeds anything up
if you want?
I don't want to, but if it makes anything go faster.
dude I can play now if you can ^-^
sorry

christ, even jamaha can figure out how to coordinate times, and he's from fucking finland haha
Seriously mael every time you said you'd be ready you're not >:(
Like yesterday you said your mom said no
now you're saying tonight doesn't work after asking if tonight worked
CAN I SWITCH OPPONENTS OR SOMETHING
I mean, hopefully that shouldn't be necessary. Work it out via PM. Plan ahead. Think of when you know you'll be free, and once you've set it, don't shy away from that unless you absolutely have to.
You procrastinated on an assignment?
Procrastinate some more.
You were invited to a party last minute?
Sorry, guys, but I need to play video games with somebody I met on the internet.
The girl of your dreams is literally throwing her naked self at you?
Sorry, babe, but there's somebody else I need to smash right now.
I've planned ahead 3 times and he always shuts me down.
1st excuse - I need to make a plan against projectiles (fine)
2nd excuse - I need to play Phoenix Wright and go to bed (avoidance)
3rd excuse - My mom won't let me (valid, but might also be an excuse)

How's this sound: About 9:00 tonight (EST), no excuses
Sure I'll be on. But if you can do it any earlier I'd recommend that, I'm free right now too.
Ehhhhh. I've got school I have to do. :(
bro we can just fight for like 5-10 minutes right now lol
mael bb are you there? It's almost time and you haven't even accepted the Wii U request yet
I don't get home til 8:40 and I may need to warm up.
Alright well I'm all warmed up so I'll be waiting
My brother rage quit from online so I can't play for ten minutes
WHAT THE CRAP
Well then.... I'm ready when you are....
Fate doesn't want us to have this match ::)
EDIT: it's just about over.
Sheesh, my brother rage quit like 2 hours ago. Nintendo really hates that apparently
I beat mael 2-0
first game: Shadow toon link vs shulk
How did you like them boomerang grabs :P
I seriously underestimated the range of shulk's sword though. Other than that it was pretty evenly balanced with me coming just out on top.
second game: Mr. Saturn print ness vs shulk
BEWARE THE LOCK NESS MONSTER!!!
Hey jamaha are you GMT +2? I'm free all day today if that would translate into a late night smash fight (dat rhyme) for you.
3DS Tournament Update!
Echo (Marth) - 2
davy (Falco, Robin) - 0
So first off, I dunno if it was our internet connections, Nintendo's servers, or some higher power messing with us, but something just didn't want davy and I to have our match. >_> Still, we persevered, and after maybe an hour of pushing through countless disconnections, we finally managed to finish our battles! So just for that, I have to say I'm proud of davy for proving that he ain't no quitter.
Anyways, here's how the match went:
Round 1: Battlefield - Marth VS Falco
A classic matchup ever since the release of Melee. Marth had to dance through a relentless laser barrage from Falco, while Falco had to avoid getting juggled by Marth's swordplay. Davy unfortunately had an early death from a failed recovery (likely due to lag), so I decided to even things out by giving up one of my stocks as well. I soon realized that I had made a VERY BIG MISTAKE as Falco immediately proceeded to wreck me with an amazing Side-B spike off the edge. Although things didn't look too good for Marth after that, some fortunate tipped Side Smash attacks allowed Marth to make a comeback.
Round 2: Prism Tower - Marth VS Robin
For the next round Davy tried to tip the scales by picking Robin. It was a showdown of generations, with the original Fire Emblem hero pitted against the latest one, and what better stage for these two dashing swordsmen than the gorgeous Prism Tower? The fight was fairly close at the start, with Robin down a stock and Marth at high percentage. But before Robin could even things up
"ERROR: Disconnected from the server"
We decided the best way to go about this was to re-do the battle, only with Robin down a stock while hitting Marth for about the same damage. Things were going well with this plan, until
"ERROR: Disconnected from the server"
But whatever, we decided to try one more time while getting our damages back to what they were. Unfortunately for me, the last hit davy did to get me to the right damage also sent me flying way too far off the map to recover. >_> Regardless, Marth's old-school tipped Smashes proved to outdo Robin's newfangled flashy thunder sword attacks, and so Marth came out on top once again.
Anyways, gg davy, and hopefully it goes smoother next time if we ever play again.

As far as our actual games went I would have done better game one but my finger slipped and I hit taunt and that let him launch me once ::)
I was really looking forward to "sexy teleport mind games" but I didn't really get to see him use teleport much; he was too busy spamming forward smash lol

Short answer: you don't.
I got a LAN adapter! Is it too late for me to come back since loser's bracket hasn't moved very far on my side?
patiently awaiting my next challenger up here on indigo plateau
Dude/jamaha you gonna fight soon?
Just FYI I'd totally love to do this again as a swiss tourney with a top 8
Oh oops, I meant dude/firearrow
Gee I wonder
We decided not to play each other.

Sorry wait, lemme rephrase that in a way that doesn't warrant a sarcastic response:
Hey guys, so it's been about a week since you've known you have to fight each other. And yeah, we haven't really been sticking to the 48 hour rule, nor do I think that's really fair when some matches are so difficult to schedule. But still, a week is a pretty long time, and while I suppose this tournament will eventually be over one way or another, it'd be nice to know that you guys are actually making an effort to do this in a timely manner, as opposed to just waiting around and missing several potential times that would work for both of you.
There. Better?

On the subject of waiting for matches, are Nebbles/Dude gonna rematch? Or does Nebbles just win now?
So yeah. Logistics and NSM don't mix. Nothing new, really.

Nah man, psychological warfare is part of it should've stayed olimar with his impossible to mess up recovery
lol remember his recovery in smash bros brawl
we do not speak of it
His b-up in brawl was better though. Hit box + Tether is really good.
unless you don't have six pikmin in which case
always have max pikmin
always ;-;
Okay, back in action. Brackets updated, I don't think I missed anything?

So it appears to me at least that the Wii U bracket has officially stalled due to the pending Nebbles/Dude rematch. How long can we give them before forcing it to move on?
To be fair Pit and I also need to fight which is sort of holding up loser's lol.
Sure, but Nebbles/Dude is more pressing consider they're holding up everything else. You're just holding up yourselves, really.
Yeah we've been holding up but don't not fear...! We're battling today! :D
I thought it was tomorrow? D:
oh no...did we get time zones wrong?? xD
Can you do it at 6:15pm over there?? DDDDD:
Oh yeah I forgot it's tomorrow for you already lol
hehe :P all G. See you soon..mum is almost finished teaching
wait...crap...your friday or my friday?? >>
if it's your friday...den I'll forfeit xDD because either way if I win or not...I can't continue this tourney then coz I have school coming up and won't be able to find time to play.
So yeah jamaha...can you make K-Night move forward? ^_^ Thanks bruu
So idk what my wifi connectability situation will be next semester but here's hoping there's a Starbucks equivalent I can use in Prague, otherwise the 3DS tournament might be a little anticlimactic lol
So when this current tournament is over, would anyone be interested in a doubles tournament? It'd probably be single elimination, since we'd be halving the pool of players at minimum, but I think it could be a neat experience.
Sounds fun, but given how much of a logistical nightmare this one turned out to be, I'm not so sure planning to get 4 people together at once will be any better.
Also, would the teams be randomly assigned or could people make their own?
I wouldn't say one match is a logistical nightmare lol, but having 4 people would pose a problem in that regard. On top of that, the possibility for extreme lag increases when we double the amount of players, so the room host would have to have a ridiculously fast connection.
As far as teams go, I'm not sure what we want as a group. If we let people choose, it's likely that the two best people will immediately join up and face roll everyone, but if we do it randomly, people will be upset because they're paired with someone who they didn't want. We'll see how it goes. I won't even consider it until after this tourney is over though.
Ready whenever.
Edit: aaaand you're offline.
I swear to god nebbles if we don't do this by sunday we will use random.org for the winner.
i really can't be bothered, sorry
Sooo, do you forfeit or what's the deal.
Because if you're so goddamn busy it certainly won't be any different with any other player.
I'm not busy. I literally have no desire to play.
At this rate we might as well just use the match you guys have already played, since neither of you seem to want to either fight or accomodate each other's schedules.

I'm not the tourny host, but I would say that's a statement of forfeiture.
Yeah, you're not wrong. I just don't feel like it, so whatever. =/
Alright, then let's keep moving I guess?

As soon as I get up tomorrow to when I sleep
Just discovered that my new dorm wifi works GREAT for my 3ds, so ready whenever you are, jamaha or echo
I'll be up soon, I promise.
Let's throw down, Dude.
EDIT: Agh, I was hoping you'd be on. I can't now until later this evening (7-ish PST). Are you still available?
Guys seriously, PM and arrange times. This whole depending on people reading the thread and responding is quite silly.
K-Night: Lucario (3)
Maestro: G&W (1), Pac-Man (2-3)
Can't handle my Pac Game. K-Night lost first round. Can't handle my Game and Watch. K-Night won the next two, which makes me the winner.
Maestro won. Better than the rest, which is six people.
Pac-Man: Game-Watch. Maestro Out.
MaestroUGC (Mr. Game&Watch, Pac-Man): 1
K-NiGhT (Lucario): 2
Good set overall! Lag was a bit of a pain but it got pretty clutch there at the end.
Match 1: Not much to say here on my end. I made a few costly mistakes, Maestro got a 9 hammer which was pretty hype but ugh lol.
Game to Maestro
Match 2: At this point I was getting a bit discouraged/distracted by my phone vibrating every two minutes, so I almost got 3 stocked. Came back and took it in the end with some quick moves at high aura.*
Game to K-NiGhT
*also Maestro SD'd
Match 3: I was back in it and I went all out! Came down to the last stock and a great aerial juggle by me to close out the set.
Game to K-NiGhT, Match Point~!
I lost and I forfeit the losers bracket as well
Dudeman (Virtual Boy R.O.B.): 2
Dude (Blue Kirby, Meta Kirby): 0
Two matches on Battlefield.
Round 1: Dude got a couple of lucky Stones but usually liked to stay on the ledge. Got down with two stocks for me and one for him, and I accidentally got hit off the edge. Long story short, he chased me down below the blast line, but his up-special was not strong enough to get him back up. Win to me.
Round 2: Three-stock victory. Dude gave up on his last stock. As soon as he respawned he walked off the edge. Win to me.
I'm coming for you, Waddle!
Suicided, dude? Bad form.
Smash is a shitty game anyway.
Then why'd you buy it? Why'd you sign up for this tournament?

the mods forced him to
I think this accurately sums up our battle.
K-NiGhT (Captain Fabulous, Lucario): 2
Blueflower999 (King Dedede, Little Mac, Ness): 1
THAT WAS HONESTLY THE MOST INTENSE SET I'VE PLAYED WITH ANYONE.
Game 1: Pretty good match. A few frustrating kills by Blue, a sweet Dair meteor by me, and I ended up on top! Game to K-NiGhT!
Game 2: Blueflower answered by choosing Little Mac, which is a matchup that I'm not very well versed in. Mistakes were made, Blue made some amazing reads and plays, and he took the game. Game to Blueflower!
Game 3: The best game in this set. I was down a few stocks and it was looking grim. I fired Aura Spheres that I shouldn't have at him, which were immediately absorbed and healed him. I was down to my last stock and at 100% by the time I got him down to 1 stock, but I came back with some intense air juggles and one last back-air took the game! Game to K-NiGhT, Match Point~!
Oooo, that back air is nasty. Congrats! Good luck against Jamaha!
all the marth icons in the 3DS bracket are making me cry
because all heavy fast strong characters with swords are dumb
Bracket updated.
Nope. Now it's the original ones
Jamaha (Goggle Pikachu): 1
K-NiGhT (Captain Fabulous, Lucario): 2
Close match all the way through!
Game 1: Had to reset because I forgot to add the time limit like a skrublord. I already knew he was choosing Pikachu but I didn't want to be scummy and change characters because I made a mistake. I was just about to get 3 stocked when suddenly the good Captain went rage mode and brought it down to a 1-stock game. Too bad I was at 120% when he was on his last fresh stock lol. Could've been a very different match. Game to Jamaha!
Game 2: Went to FD and decided to use Lucario since I probably wouldn't have much of a chance with any other character. Again, this match came down to one stock but I openly admit a few SD's won the game for me here. Game to K-NiGhT!
Game 3: Third verse same as the second? Whatever. The second and third matches were pretty similar, besides the fact that Jamaha had counterpicked with Battlefield. Pikachu's recovery didn't work out in his favor on the last stock, if memory serves, so I took it away! Game to K-NiGhT, Match Point~!
You still couldn't beat me, though!
but i did beat you? xD

The real evidence rebukes your claim! Also so does the bracket
I'm failing to see what your point is.
Quote from: MaestroReal Maestro is super obtuse.
Okay K-NiGht, Waddle and I are set to duel probably on Sunday. Then you'll get your shot at Grand Finals! Hype!
also if we end up fighting each other i will probably squee
Trying to say something? ::)
Quote from: from online dictionaryinterjection
An expression of great excitement and/or happiness. Possible origin in a comic book of the same name.
an exclamation used upon seeing something extremely adorable.
I was more trying to jokingly imply that Dudeman thought fighting against me would be an easy match.
(Also implying that if he beat Waddle that I would even make it to Grand Finals, seeing as I've lost to Waddle in the past.)
(actually I just really want to fight you in the tournament 'cause you could beat me ::))
Then you'd better either lose to Waddle or hope I beat him lol
I was hoping for the latter. ::)
you're bad at timing your shit dudeman
are you guys doing your match yet? :P
weekends are stupid >:(
I'll try to fight 'im early this week. Sorry! dont kill me im bad at scheduling
Dudeman (Virtual Boy R.O.B.): 1
Waddle Bro (Pink Greninja, ZSSx2): 2
Round 1: Standard fight on Battlefield. Not much happened. Round to me.
Round 2: Waddle counter-picked with ZSS and Castle Siege. This match was laggy. Like, reeeeeally laggy. As much as I'd like to blame it on the lag, Waddle plays a good ZSS. Round to Waddle.
Round 3: Back to Battlefield! I pretty much got pwned. R.O.B. is a terrible matchup against ZSS. I neeeeeearly won, but only because I got a lucky SD off of Waddle early on. Round to Waddle.
My wishes come true! I get to fight K-NiGhT!
this is why double eliminations are garbage :]
Didn't want to use my main until the final match so went with Greninja that I used last time, because I didn't have much time to practice/learn other characters.
Chose Greninja for the first game because I didn't really want to reveal my main until the finals, but was having trouble timing laser dodges and shit with him. I think I daired off-stage when trying to go in at low percentage. :[
Stage pick was on point if it hadn't been for the unexpected lag and switched to Zero Suit for knowing I could take on his cunty special-grab-spam based gameplay better, and didn't kill myself in a dumb way this round so victory was easier.
Dudeman wasn't online on NSM to choose a stage, I tried to lure him to check his PMs by waiting a bit but after some time decided to choose the neutral Battlefield where he won and there was no lag the last time. I kill my self off-stage at like 30% of the first stock when I'm going under the stage to chase ROB who was I think at 70% and hopefully kill or fuck up with a bair, but it does a dair instead which was major bullshit imo. I caught up tho
Ooh if I win against Dudeman I'll have my chance to get revenge for the first round lol
Hey Dudeman not to rush you or anything but I need to have our match by tonight because I'm not going to be back until Monday night.
I'll 1v1 you, mate!
You're not in the tournament. No.
Oh.
Any other time I would love to, but today I only really have time for my tourney match with Dudeman. Sorry.
Ok! Were we talking Wii-U btw, or 3DS?
Technically Wii U since my 3DS doesn't like my campus wifi but I could do both if that weren't the case.
Oh, no, WiiU is better anyways! What's your NNID? I can send you a friend request you so we can battle another time!
http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5627.msg214181#msg214181
Ok, thanks Marty!
Anyway fact remains that Dudeman has been AWOL since Monday?
I don't know what AWOL means, but he just pmed me...
ohhhhhhh hai dere
This week has been super busy for me, so sorry that I haven't been active. It's a shame that you'll be out till Monday, but fortunately I have school off that day, so I should be able to fight you that evening.
Wish you guys could handle this on your own without me having to remind you
Not like we aren't trying ._.
I forfeit out of loser's. I just don't have the time anymore. Good luck, K-NiGhT!
but
our battle was going to be epic ;-;
I wish it could happen... :'(
it's ok ;-; now i get my chance at revenge! Let's go, Waddle!
this tournament's been gettin real anticlimactic real slow
speaking of which heyy jamaha and echo you gonna fight soon?
Quote from: FierceDeity on February 23, 2015, 04:32:12 PMthis tournament's been gettin real anticlimactic real slow
Considering I won some time ago, I agree.
Yeah, the tournament has been dying a slow death.
My fault too, haven't been able to schedule the next match between Echo and me.
Quote from: K-NiGhT on February 23, 2015, 04:27:40 PMit's ok ;-; now i get my chance at revenge! Let's go, Waddle!
Let's try to schedule this on Friday if that's cool with you
Friday may be a little dicey cuz I usually go home that day, and I'm also going to a Melee tournament this weekend. I'll see what I can do tho :D
DON'T FORGET TIME ZONES
IT MAY YET WORK OUT
...bump?
Guys we were so close
I guess fierce wins both by default
And I didn't even have to buy a Wii U, what a deal
not gonna lie i totally forgot about this lmao
^same and I haven't played in ages now lol
So if that's it then is there gonna be another one? Cuz I want to whoop you guys too.
I'm quite a bit better at perfect shielding now, just need to improve at perfect pivoting.
Quote from: JDMEK5 on May 01, 2015, 04:51:46 PMSo if that's it then is there gonna be another one? Cuz I want to whoop you guys too.
I mean, if we can't pull our shit together to finish this one, it seems silly to start another one before we do
Quote from: Maelstrom on May 01, 2015, 05:10:03 PMI'm quite a bit better at perfect shielding now, just need to improve at perfect pivoting.
Wrong smash topic, I assume
I might be playing some sm4sh tonight we could do a small swiss tourney
Quote from: FierceDeity on May 01, 2015, 05:29:29 PMI mean, if we can't pull our shit together to finish this one, it seems silly to start another one before we do
It's a NSM tradition
Hey waddle we should both concede so no one wins just to spite everyone ;)
So what's happening with this? I can't see the tourney scores :P
Got all the way to Grand Finals but never finished in true NSM fashion.
Quote from: AwesomeYears on June 25, 2015, 04:54:13 AMSo what's happening with this? I can't see the tourney scores :P
Here's my contribution to the link update thing
Wii U
3DS
So, do we want to finish this up, Waddle? Or maybe Dudeman and I could actually do our match first since it's finally summer?
my gosh why is there so many marth everywhere
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on June 25, 2015, 10:29:35 AMmy gosh why is there so many marth everywhere
you complain about Marth as if he's actually a good character.
idk do what you want
Well I guess it's up to if Dudeman wants to come back in, but I guess we should finish this since it's been over 6 months since it started.
What are you talking about, I won this thing ages ago.
Hey so Dudeman and I actually did our match! Here are the results.
K-NiGhT (Roy): 2
Dudeman (R.O.B.): 0
Match 1: Great way to start off this set. I got a lot of extra damage on his second stock while still on my first stock due to DI. Dudeman came back and almost had me at the end, but I pulled it out.
Match 2: Pretty much second verse, same as the first here. This one was a real slugfest until the end!
now i'm ready to fight waddle for real lol
Quote from: K-NiGhT on June 25, 2015, 08:38:37 PMDudeman came back and almost had me at the end, but I pulled it out.
PHRASING
Now we know you were really just waiting for your boy to be released as DLC
6 months of foresight Kappa
I was so close too :'( I thought we really had something between us
(btw gud job knight)
Huh. Suppose I should get in contact with Waddle lol
Quote from: Jamaha on December 30, 2014, 07:09:04 AMNinSheetMusic's first Super Smash Bros tournament is about to begin!
We should... Do another one.
I'm much better this time! I still can't beat level 9 computers though
We should. I'm 13th on the Norwegian PR now, so I'll destroy all of you 8) I don't have the game tho
I myself would be hoping to actually take the time to participate this time.
I would like to join as well. I only have 3ds version though.
I would love to participate if I'm not loaded with homework! I'm not that good, though X'D
Quote from: JDMEK5 on September 29, 2016, 10:11:43 AMI myself would be hoping to actually take the time to participate this time.
Same haha
if I had the game i would join
#feelthepuff
id join
I would only be able to play at about 1 AM mountain time though.
...melee netplay tournament anyone?
i'd be down, i'm trash at smash 4 tho maylay all daylay
I've got a boatload o' homework to do, but I will be off for Fall Break starting tmrw. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it and participate
Let's get this going for reals
Actually though we'd need a host and a schedule; likely a discussion/organization topic would be helpful instead of using this old thread.
I'd offer to host, but I'm swamped with work indefinitely.
Someone better host because i've been practicing with ThE pUFF a lot, ready to wreck some top-tier chars
