Zell Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Zell, you reckon you can get a day off work on the 28th? Cos i'm going to be getting a train to birmingham on that day to enter the brawl tourny..you should enter yourself in it And you know, you already have a nice shiny HD set, so if you can enter and win you can send it this way....... Well I'm now working Sundays, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure if I can be arsed to go all the way to Birmingham for the day to play Brawl though... and I'll only have like a week a go and practice (not to mention that the game reads about 10% of the time). Dunno, could be a lot of fun. Oh and my "shiny HD set" is really my dad's and the only times we get to use it for games is the late hours of the night... so if I win the new TV will go in the games room :P

Well i've put down my details, you should enter and don't forget once exams are over you can come over and we can play
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Me and Zero have signed up for the one in Glasgow, hopefully we can do fairly well and get to a recent round in it. And we all get a free figurine
Tyson Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I'm gonna be going to the Gamestation in Hull, assuming I get the phonecall/email. Anyone else going to that one?
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Just had a read through the rules. Round one consists of 4 players in each match and 8 matches in each draw. Winner of each match will advance making 4 matches in that draw with 2 players each. 4 Semi Finalists fight it out in 1 match to make a finalist, then finals is obviously a 2 player match. Each match lasting 4 minutes. This is gonna be troublesome to knock people out. When 1 person is at a high %, everyone will go for that one person, and since i'm Link, it'll be a tad hard. Ah well.
Tellyn Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Me, MadDog and Jimjebus will be laying down the ownage in Leeds. We have just over a week to get an immense battle strategy together, which is already coming along nicely.

Na you'll do fine with Link, his down air has always been amazing. Spam it like a beast and i dunno, up+B a lot. Most of the people competing will be noobs tbh.
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Yea, was thinking most people that play will just spam attacks alot like Pikachus Thunder, Pits constant arrows etc. Need to get a lot of 4 player matches in before the big day. Just need to make sure I knock out the guy with the % before everyone charges for him/her. Should be fun anyway.
Zell Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Free-for-all time matches? *sigh* I can see characters like Ike doing very well in the opening rounds. I can also see a lucky final smash winning someone the round (someone like Sonic, who has a stupidly overpowered final smash, could very well kill everyone in on swoop).
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Good thing Sonic isn't in it, though Final Smashes are gonna be a pain aswell as all the items dropping down. Mario, Pikachu and Samus will just destroy you if they get their hands on a Final Smash. Why couldn't it be 1 vs 1, stock match and itemless
Tyson Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Oh, I got the email straight away. I bet no one around Hull actually plays Smash Bros. Easier TV for me then!
Dyson Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 So who am I destroying in Bracknell, minus chavs? Also, did anyone else notice this mistake in the acceptance email? "From: Super Smash Bang Bros Showdown ([email protected])" Lmfao :bowdown:
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 12 year olds that go Pikachu and the Pokemon Trainer
ShadowV7 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Ha, just seen that e-mail that said Bang Bros. Never noticed till you pointed it out there. Guess someone doesn't like Brawl much.
EchoDesiato Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Ha, just seen that e-mail that said Bang Bros. Never noticed till you pointed it out there. Guess someone doesn't like Brawl much. Imagine a fighting game with world's most famous porn stars. They'd all have Kirby's suck attack.
Tellyn Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Who is off to Leeds one then? No, we don't want anyone on here to go, we want an easy TV.
MadDog Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Oh yeah, i just remembered. Leeds event has been called off don't bother going. No not really ^_^
Deathjam Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 And you need to suck more. ^^ Lewisham it is. I have confirmed my place ^^...But for honours sake I've gone with Sheik. Deathjam, who will you be using? Signed up too. Lewisham it is :awesome: Not sure who to pick though. Seeing as I havent played brawl, I need to pick someone whom is similar to their melee incarnation and from what I have seen, Marth seems to fit that bill. But I am best when I play as Ganon or Samus. Bah who would you suggest. Zell, you reckon you can get a day off work on the 28th? Cos i'm going to be getting a train to birmingham on that day to enter the brawl tourny..you should enter yourself in it And you know, you already have a nice shiny HD set, so if you can enter and win you can send it this way....... HAH tried this with my mate and he said HELL NO
Zero Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I don't see many of the stores getting 64 players. At least the store i'm going to won't. Not many people round my parts that have heard of smash bros. nevermind importing brawl. Looks like we all stand a good chance of getting the TVs. I also play as Ike so hopefully i'll get a good couple of kills.

I also play as Ike so hopefully i'll get a good couple of kills. yeah if i'm really honest i'm pretty confident. I mean, most people will be people (kids) who signed up at the last minute tbh. Those that have played Smash before will only have played melee; big advantage from the get go.

Those that have played Smash before will only have played melee; big advantage from the get go. Ugh. Please say it aint so Is there really that big a difference between the two? I never relied on the advanced techs but I could do most, if not all of them. Item knowledge and exploitation FTW
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 yeah if i'm really honest i'm pretty confident. I mean, most people will be people (kids) who signed up at the last minute tbh. Those that have played Smash before will only have played melee; big advantage from the get go. Exactly! *insert predatory fangs smiley*...Those kids XD...I can picture their miserable faces now. But of course other importers from other Nintendo forums will surely be there. Signed up too. Lewisham it is :awesome: Not sure who to pick though. Seeing as I havent played brawl, I need to pick someone whom is similar to their melee incarnation and from what I have seen, Marth seems to fit that bill. But I am best when I play as Ganon or Samus. Bah who would you suggest. Most veteran characters feel the same to me to be honest, I'd just be careful of Mario's FLUDD, Sheik's nerfing and Link; he seems a bit heavier to me. Remember you wouldn't get to choose Ganondorf maybe not even Marth as they are not characters on the starting roster. Samus seems ok, but then I never play as her. I suggest a well rounded character like Link to be on the safe side. For me its either Sheik (with nerfings et al ^^) or Pokemon Trainer, Ivysaur has powerful smash moves. Edit: after reading the rules...No way I'll be using Sheik. Pokemon Trainer all the way.
Zell Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Damn Goron that's a good point, you already have a copy of Brawl. I can see a lot of other people who've imported Brawl going though.

Just need to make sure I knock out the guy with the % before everyone charges for him/her. Should be fun anyway. I believe in you man, in fact i wish every N-Europe forumer the best of luck. Would be great if we all come back with TVs from our respective neck of the woods.
