[Golden Legacy]

Tournament has been canceled.

Linear is the winner by default, having secured the most points in the first round.

---

[EDIT]
So far, only one person has advanced to the semifinals.
It appears that there are a few people who still have not completed all their matches. I am extending the deadline for these matches by another few days. Please try to get your group stages completed as soon as you can.

(go here to find out which matches you have left)

All right, the first ever GSSF Brawl tournament has begun!

http://www.goldensun-syndicate.net/forum/i...showtopic=12483

If you registered, please check for your assignments in the group phases. Good luck to all! :)


P.S. I also recommend saving replays of your matches, if you and your opponent agree, so that we can post them up on YouTube for all to see.

How do you do that?
I have tried numerous time and can't figure out how to do it.

[Drizzy Drake]

There's like 5 Smash turney topics.

[Gio]

It is just that cool :)

You have to save to SD Card, then hook SD Card to computer and transfer files.

[Gio]

That is what I tried to do and it didn't work. h/o and I will try again.

Edit: Well I can see the icons that are the pictures and videos but when i click them is says preview not available.

You can't transfer replays onto your computer. All that it does is record the buttons you pushed during your gameplay. You would have to record it another way.

well that makes sense, becuz i recorded sumthin on my sd card, and when i hook it up to my pc... i didnt see any videos... looks like we really need a video capture card or a camera for this one. Im gonna record my matches with my camera from now, hopefully the quality wont be too bad...

[Golden Legacy]

Then how do people upload picture-perfect quality Brawls onto YouTube? I highly doubt something like this was taken with a camera. (even when it shows the selection and loading screens, it doesn't quite seem like a camera)

One way: DVD Recorder.

[Split Infinity]

Or just plug it in directly, if you have a capture card.

[Golden Legacy]

Ahh, that's right on both accounts. Hadn't thought of that.
So anyone have a capture device on them? I'd like to at least get the Final recorded in video format.

[Gio]

If it pans out right my guess would be that the final would include Blue and Linear.

[Toasty]

My friend has a capture thing built into his HP computer, but it's not on a seperate card, so I doubt it'd be al that great. I could have him haul it over here again so I can try it out.

[zedamus]

yeh that wud be cool... if u do get it to work, u can record matches between other ppl as well... jus enter the match, kill yourself then begin to record the other 2 ppl fighting

[Toasty]

Yeah, that's what I figured I'd do. I'm not quite sure how it would work though. I'd have to find some kind of A/V splitter that allowed me to hook up to the computer and the TV at the same time, because I'm not sure if his computer would be able to capture all the frames and stream the video at the same time.

The rest of the parts for my new rig are comming within a few days though, so maybe I can splice his capture thingy into my new rig temporarily. I dunno.

[Split Infinity]

You'd only need to record the match at about 320x240, which is YouTube quality. It would be better to upload the file directly though, otherwise you might not be able to see very clearly.

[Toasty]

You don't seem to fully grasp the concept of how much my Dell sucks, do you? =/

Case came a few days ago. New rig is orgasmic. It'll do the trick.

[Golden Legacy]

Tournament's been canceled.

[Drizzy Drake]

Dumbasses. GL went through all the trouble of starting a tourny, and this is how you repay him. Shame. Shame on you all.

[TheEnglishman]

It's difficult to organise something like this. After all, everyone lives in different places and timezones.

[Gio]

I am sorry it just seems like I haven't said this in enough places just yet.

I am the only one to finish all three of my matches.
and it was before the deadline.
I deserve a cookie or something.

[Linear]

I wasn't able to finish my final matches since I was never able to catch GSN on. Ah, well...

Sorry for what happened, GL.

If that's all I'm going to get for trying, then whack this.

Good on you for organizing such a tournament, GL. It's a shame people didn't exactly give it there all. You should be stoked it got this far, I guess, you seemed to have it really really well thought out.. But the time-zones are terrible, aren't they? :\

[Legolastom]

Ha ha.

Not exactly like you can have a tournament which involves much skill with brawl online.

[Toasty]

Lag is painful, but it still involves a lot of skill. Those who win 3-0 are obviously better than their opponents, wouldn't you say?

Anyway, we should have a tournament for The Conduit when it's out. :!:

It's too bad that not everyone finished their matches though.

[Legolastom]

Not really, when people randomly fall off of stages, moves randomly fail (Fox's whackING SIDE B!!!) and people get trapped under stages, that doesnt involve much skill. Or when you cannot adapt to your oppponent because of lag (Or even the my momtiness of Brawl), that doesnt invovle skill.

Melee with moar characters, moar stages, better graphics and a good online would have been much better than this. But hey, at least we got stickers!

[Kuchiyose]

Yeah it was very well planned and organized and every knew their deadlines, I'm guessing like people are saying is time zones and such bu then again everyone was aware of this.

How much have you actually played Brawl online? The only people who fall off the stages are the ones that suck.

[Legolastom]

Well Kuch just fell off the stage randomly with Ike when I was playing against him.

Yeah I have no idea why that happened, I also did that when i was play Zeph,

And I don't suck! It was lag! Sometimes the animations is really slow, for example when i was playing Zeph I fell off and I was randomly rolling then stood up then died xD

[Legolastom]

And you might do something while you are on the stage, and by the time to move activates you are off the stage and cant recover because of that attack. Or more lag.

[Someone Else]

I used to randomly fall of and underneath stages all the time when I first got Brawl. Doesn't happen very often anymore though, sometimes you get unlucky or mess up is all.

It's like accidentally nading yourself in an FPS. Moot point is moot.

[Legolastom]

Final destination as a stage cannot really be played competativly anymore to be honest. I mean the underneath of the stage is too big a factor to ignore.

And with the lag of Brawl online it doesnt really matter how good you are when those things happen.

[Someone Else]

You are overstating the underneath the stage thing. It really is not so bad.

[Legolastom]

It can be the diference between a match based on skill and losing because of stupid stuff like that.

[Toasty]

Then make a custom stage with just flat panels. That way, if you fall, you can come back up from underneath.

[Someone Else]

You have no grab points that way though. Also, it would be easy to just fall through if you tried to down smash.

I think GL should have kept it open. Given time, everybody would do their matches... eventually.

[Linear]

Given the notice that a generally the neutral stages are simple to go underneath, there's really no trouble to counter as they make their way to the other stage. If you actually know how to keep them off (ex. meteor smashing or edge guarding/hogging), it's a punishment to go underneath the stage if you know how to knock them out the instant they come back.

Lag issues - if your going to wifi, then you would obviously know there's going to be some sort of lag. (Even green and blue connections give me at least ONE lag spike) I don't know how came up with the notion of, "If you go off the stage then you suck." I have my rare moments that I just so happen to teleport right off the stage due to lags.

On another note, wifi battles (in my opinion) is just another show of training. Since there's always some type of lag, it helps me predict things on a slower pace. Or at least, I noticed whenever I place someone on wifi and the same person irl. Overall, there's just no sense of making excuses that you know that may as well happen.

[Toasty]

Alright, if you fall off the satge very often, then you suck.

It's just that I very rarely see people fall of stages. I fall off a lot more than anyone else I know, and I know I'm not all that good.

[Someone Else]

Topic title amuses me. CANCELED Tournament has started!

I don't play online too much, but when I play with friends I rarely see anybody falling of the stage by accident.
