Super Smash, DDR, Karaoke Revolution and More: This Weekend!

by eli

We've got a weekend of multiplayer mayhem lined up for you at the library, starting off with a Super Smash Bros. Melee Tournament for ages 13+, Friday Night, 2/24, from 6-9 PM at the Downtown Library. First prize $40, Second prize $30, third prize $20.

Then, on Saturday, 2/25, we've got an all-ages Dance Dance Revolution tournament from Noon-3 Downtown, immediately followed by our first ever all-ages Karaoke Revolution tournament, from 3-5! So you can dance, but can you SING? These tournaments will feature the lovely and talented Edith as your MC, and the format will be similar to our DDR tournaments, with qualifying duets for score, and then elimination. Both tournaments will have $40/$30/$20 prizes, so if you're a double threat, you can win big. Games will be either Karaoke Revolution volume 3 or Karaoke Revolution Party, with all songs unlocked. Check out songlists here.

We'll then head into midwinter break with Open Play events, including DDR Mario Mix, Donkey Konga, Monkey Ball, and more, Sunday, 2/26 and Monday 2/27, from 1-4, for grades 5 and under, and Teen Open Play, Tuesday, 2/28 from 1-4.

So, brave the winter winds, get downtown, and warm up with some hot competition this weekend!

Eli, my wife and I are interested in attending the Karaoke Revolution tourney but had a few questions. What exactly are "qualifying duets" and are we able to pick the songs or are they chosen at random?

We'll be using duet sing-off mode, and you'll be grouped into pairs of your choosing. As a pair, you'll get to sing two songs of your choice (each person gets to pick the song once), and each player earns their game score. We add up the score each player earned during their two songs, and take the top singers on to elimination. So basically, each player has the possibility to earn 100,000 points total, on songs of their choice.

You can choose your judging level, but only judging level medium or higher will go on to the prize round brackets.

Wait doomblaze are you referring to the time where i said that i 6-stocked my friend in a 5-stock macth?

I think he's referring to a different scenario: one in which he plays one character while his friend is in charge of three controllers; thus becomes possible the action of 'fifteen-stocking' a person in a five-stock battle.

Eli please awnser my question can i come to the melee tourtament event hough i am not 13 but i have attended a GT event

Bad driver, although the event is technically for ages 13 and up, I won't turn you away. Feel free to come.

Omokusaki, once we pass into the elimination rounds, in each match, the higher seed has the right to pick the song, however, they are free to consult with their opponent if they want to be nice. Things are usually pretty collegial, but basically, good performance wins you the right to pick your song in elimination.

Thank You very much Eli. Thank you thank you. Even though i am very confident i wont win anything. These tourtaments arre very fun. Sorry for asking so many times. How will the tourney be formated. # of stock ban items elimination etc.
"Eli Is awesome"

Again thanks Eli. Can i push even more 4 a kart tourney.
Also this an idea for the future is that there is a series of minitourneys in the summer ad the pre season is the grand champioship for those. Also Eli is there any chance i can try commentating at the melee open tourney.

I finally finished buying parts for my computer. A word of advice to anyone who is planning on building a computer. You can get a decent CRT at the U of M's property disposition for $15. You can also get other things like $5 cd drives. $25 iMacs. Or even cheap desks chairs and other things U of M doesn't need anymore.

No all of these tourtaments are free. Eli do u think u could have gotten double elimination or an extra qualifaction round because it isn't even 9 yet and i am at home and the tourney started late. I was suprised there was a lot less older people than i thought

Eli Can the library organize some outside event, like a tennis match, track/cross-country race, 3 on 3 soccer event and so on. I think you would get even a better turnout than the AADL-GT tournaments.

Snowman that has nothing to do with the library. Video games are a branch of media and the library provides media. Also this is a unique oppurtunity tourtments are sparse for video games. there is probally 25 soccer legues in the city 40 tennis tourtaents a year. And a cross country race r u kidding me. The library doesnt have a track outside or a tennis course. So basicially u r asking the library to rent somewherer so it can have a tourtment have athletism that doesnt bring people to the library just have aadl posters as you run.

Basicially the purpose of these events is to get people in the library. That is what the whole teens program is for. So it will be a parten they will keep for the rest of there life.
Not to be mean matt but that idea was one of the worst i have heard from you. It also gave me a chance to use a quote from Eli. Also my brother says to respnd from his xfire invite. Sorry matt couldn't resist.

nooooo i should have come, i beat ownerer at aaron's party in december but i probably wouldnt have been able to beat him again. what about aaron and rupert how did they do?

[gtlogo:TMC]

Ownerer did NOT win, Rupert beat him in the final, even though Ownerer had 3-stocked Rupert earlier that day. In addition, in the semifinal, Rupert (Uncle Meat) accidentally killed himself a few seconds into the match, and his opponent, CKX, chivalrously took a reciprocal dive out of fairness. However, that ultimately cost CKX the match, sending him to face Pickwick in the consolation match.

I saw Rupert later offer to cash out his giftcard and split it with CKX, which was very honorable of him, even if CKX didn't take him up on the offer. Aaron had a tough loss to Rupert in the quarterfinals, getting KO'd by the second bomb to fall at the end of Sudden Death.

It was a fantastic tournament. Things went very smoothly, even considering the large turnout (81), and the atmosphere was great.

I did horrible at the tournament. I had two problems. First of all I didn't really want it that much because melee isn't my favorite game and I knew that no matter how much I practiced I couldn't beat those college students (who ended up not coming). Secondly I didn't practice (except for two minutes an hour before the tournament.

I have three things to say: Oops, congratulations, and wow, would I have liked to have seen that battle(not necessarily in that order)! That reminds me; Eli, Your Excellency, would it be possible, in future, to have the last two matches run one right after the other, so that the third-and-fourth place finishers could see the final? So long as time permits, of course...

Submitted by phatkidparty on Sun, 02/26/2006 - 10:15pm

Yeah for DDR, Erin got first, Wayne got second, and Dance master, who I lost to, bot third. Ian I think got 4th.

I was last able to use my computer on the Sunday before the last week of school because my brother downloaded too much stuff which fried it! Now i can't use it and so I missed the thing on Friday! Also my parents MADE me go to Florida with them to visit my grandmother! I said I had very important things to do like the tournament but they made me go anyway!
So if your guessing, I am using my grandmother's computer right now.

The friend codes people have posted have all been MKDS codes and we are doing a MKDS online tournament so I would put the MK code in. When you see a Code broken up into two separate parts 112233 445566 like that it would mean MKDS. ACWW is broken into three parts of four 1122 3344 5566. At least that's how the games do it.

ACWW is one of the few DS games that does have DS in it's acronym.

Submitted by Pickwick the Second on Wed, 03/01/2006 - 7:04pm

26 is not a lesser number than 25, though, I admit, the number in question <em>was</em> much greater than the lower limit I suggested.

like your the younger version of me who's soon going to replace me when i get old as far as melee goes. at the open plays i would say ur name as midgit sorry about that.

[gtlogo:TMC]

nishant, wouldn't midget b a better name than mdiget? I have nothing 2 say, o well. it's fun 2 chainthrow a lvl 9 bowser against the wall in peach's castle 50 times, you rack up alot of damage. Chainthrowing is easy with marth
If curiousity killed the cat, and u were a curious cat, where would you be right now? [gtlogo:SDK]

U cant get mad at me now doomblaze there were 30+ new comments. Plus u guys aren't talking bout much anyway. I was talking to my brother about practicing and he made a comment about ow mariokart and melee really aren't fun anymore. Mariokart is fun there but, playing agnaist computers. Melee i never really practiced and might try to learn a new character. Compared to computer games though gamecube is kinf of boring although i am getting into some older games.

Tourtament structure
I dont know if this got defintley decided but , i had some ideas abput qualifaction and elimnation rounds and so on.
Single player melee
3 qualifaction rounds ( 9 rouunds if you have 96 or under people )
If you lower the amount of stock and time to 2 and 2 minutes you could finish this in 30-35 minutes. Then the top 32 move on where they each play 2-3 rounds depending on time then the top 16 from the most recent round move on to a seeded double elimination. Since there is money for top three single elimantion isnt fair. Single elimantion is made for finding the top person. Although one might say it is seeded so they you earn an easy ride or a hard ride. With 16 players though 1 will probally beat 16 then play 8 or 9 lets say pickwick as number 1 and has won all his matches. Sravan is # 8 and has only got ne third or fourth. So now 2 of the top players are playing eachother and only one is moving on when they both had ligadimen shots at getting money.

Team melee
Double elimantion. Only way to get around single elimination and 3 quals would just create a big ugly tie.

Single kART

Depending on turn out hopefully 3 maybe only 2 quals.
Then top 32 move on to a another 2 or 3. Since 3 each would give only 6 rounds.
Then top 16 move to top 4 move on. That would be only three rounds.

Same as single for team kart.

This might be hard to understand , but hopefully one person will read it and make ,e fell happy. Also since instead of making 10 little meaniless ones i make one big one filled with ideas. Since the tourney will still be 5 hours and there will be no sup-prize round that gives an extra 30- 45 minutes. Unless Eli chooses to do a clan event at the end.
sorry again about the long post please read it though.
btw since most of you will skim this SRAVAN AND PICKWICK i used your name so youmight jus want to read it.

bad driver, my name capitalized got my attention. i like your format so i'll support you in it.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Thank you sravan. I basicially took the ideas now and added a couple rounds for the people in the top 32 which gives them more inherit bonus plus it lets the better people have a higher chance of moving on. I like the double eliminaton because even with seeding 2 really good people might face off early. If you haven't already please read my above post. the one problem with it is it will probally be too long especially if Eli wants to add a clan event at the end. BAck to the # of post thing when do you think post 10,000 will happen. I think in between round 2 and 3.

also i think the main focus should be on single player giving more time for those and less time for team. team mariokart should have the same elimnation process and t will go just as fast as melee.

PLEASE READ MY EARLIER COMMENT(maybe this cap thing works)

Yes, I would also like to request information about the DVD. Especially since none of the tournaments were on TV this year, I have been feeling a severe lacking of AADL-GT-ness in my life. :-(

Also, in case any of you were wondering (I highly doubt it), I haven't been commenting that much because none of this is really going to affect me, since I'll be inelligible by the time next season comes around. So, I'll leave you younguns to your fun, and sit around waiting for the Adult tournaments. However, I will be back at least in a spectator standpoint if nothing else when the new season rolls around... heh heh heh...

Why is it all these people are saying Fransisco won? I two stocked him in the finals, although he is actually better than me. Aaron I also beat, but that was in quarter finals. CKX actually should have won the match I played against him because I suicided and then he suicided as he felt bad for me and I came back and won... I was gonna give him half of my 40 dollars, but I couldn't make it to free play and still have to pay him back.

Srevan, looking at your post way back there when you said you beat Ownerer at Aaron's... you have to play him again. He's a beast. You can't shield grab him because he pillars you or just shines your grab, you can't chainthrow him because he ASDIs you throws... The only reason I twostocked him is he choked.

Mdiget is that the way you discovered the tourtaments

You kno ive been pondering over what to do if the person that you are facing in SSBM is undisputably better than you and the only soulotion that i could come up with in half a minute just might work.

"It was then that I knew what had to be done. There was only one way to get Blackmage out; And it was two ways."-Fighter episode 658: Feeling blue

Well, choking or no, beating Ownerer is quite a feat, Rupert! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've played him three times now and lost every time. I thought, at the most recent tournament, that I might be able to take him, because I've improved dramatically since December, but it seems that he's gotten quite a bit better, too. I don't recall having been two-stocked in a one-on-one match before.

Thank you, Bad Driver, for placing me as the winner in your scenario a while ago; that does wonders for my ego:).

Ownerer is much better in 1v1 than FFA though

I think that building a computer has taught me a thing or two about gaming trends. I was able to build my computer for a little more than a xbox 360. If everyone could buy a gaming computer for the price of a console I think console sales would dive.

That's the problem, though... the really good gaming computers, which are needed to keep up with the software these days are too expensive for people who want to use them for other things as well...

If everyone tried building computers then all those secondhand parts wouldn't have been there. So it wouldn't have cost so little, but otherwise your right.

console gaming is cheaper (I could never build a computer) and it is better multiplayer because you can just have one system and 4 controllers and u can go. Although lan parties might have betterr graphics not everyone has a labtop.
Also is anybodys clan a clan outside axis. I mean a real clan.

It is a lot easier to do multiplayer on consoles when you're in the same place as the people, but for doing any serious online gaming, I'd pick a PC any day over a console. Most of the games these days are out for at least one, possibly two of the consoles (poor Gamecube) <em>and</em> the PC, so it's not like there's a lack of choices. I suppose that there are some games where it's good to be in the same place as your opponents, and some that it's fine either way. Besides, most split-screens, at least for FPSs and stuff like that, are way too small when you have four people on one screen. The PC offers maximum screen space as well as maximum people to play against.

Console for FPS and RTS... And RPGs work just as well on it. Consoles for fighting games and also RPGs. Hmmm. Looks like PC wins, unless you're a fighting game maniac.

Anyway, we have to do another one of these tourneys some time... when's the actual AADL event?

Bad Driver, you don't need a laptop for a LAN party, and building a computer is actually very simple. It's sort of like legos with 100$ pieces.

Playing Dope tomorrow in Melee... wish me luck, he's in the top 10 competitive player for the US. I can beat him*... .____.

*When Dope is constituted by a level 1 Bowser.

good analogy rupret

That, and it doesn't come with any colorful step by step instructions that offer you pictures of other things to build.

"Yes, it could be a computer, but look at this picture and try to decipher for yourself how to turn the pieces into a boat! Or perhaps a handy home cooking device!"

Actually the parts you buy have instructions of how to assemble them, but if you want them to be colorful you have to pay extra.

There are free play sessions occaisionally.

Well, to paraphrase 2004 Democratic contender Richard Gephardt, "Yoshi is a miserable failure. He is a <em>miserable failure</em>." Of course, he was talking about a different entity...

<em>Drunk...??</em> Well, could you post the details of your battle anyway, Rupert?

I have repossessed my Double Dash CD, so, if anyone still cares, I can post my times.

Oh, and hi, he-who-was-formerly-Piratey Critter! Which name do you prefer?

Well he wasn't drunk, but he was deffinately drinking. It's possible that he was drunk.

I think he got two zero to deaths on me. Just shine comboed me across the map and stuff. He played really aggressive. I've learned more about keeping pressure on the opponent, now, which is really just what wins the game.

okay I was rwallyt bored so i checked my clasic scores out and i found my highest score
and i was kinda wondering what everyonelses highest score was
mine was :950430
