oh my bad John, thought I read 6. But yea, I think we should do 6 with a free play table, we just need to stop being so nice about letting people hold up tournaments. We could just say if anyone holds up a match for longer than 2 or 3 minutes, they are DQ’ed. I have to agree with Ephiram on this, despite the fact that we dont take it seriously, it still pulls in A LOT of people. Now honestly, I don’t think most people would care weather we played Brawl or Melee (honestly I would prefer Melee but thats just me) because they are essentially played the same way with some minor tweaks (and NEBS seem to own in both lol). This however is for the general public to decide but honestly I don’t care. I just think we should run 6 games, 4 is not enough, 5 at the least.
And Ephiram, when he says he doesnt take it seriously, he means the game play of Brawl, not the tournament itself. And honestly, how many people do u know that constantly play this game nowadays for the sake of pure competition? Most people do not practice this game anymore for the sake of getting better, therefore most people don’t take it as seriously as you would think. There is only so much u can learn in Brawl, and unfortunately it is a restricted game in terms of new things to learn. Now Melee is a different story, lots of people that have been playing that game since its release in 2001 are STILL learning new things about it but this is not the case with Brawl. Brawl is catered more towards the causal crowd, but this is ok because so many people can play it and have fun. Sounds to me like you are generalizing us competitive guys and just because we dont take the game seriously doesnt mean we dont like it and arent having fun!
