Super Smash Bros. Contest

Syth

I'm organising an Super Smash Bros. Melee contest in UCD. If you're interested, look at the GameSoc Board (at the Wall) and watch this space. It's open to all levels of skill and it wouldn't be mad competitive.

savage, me be there

Well why not get your games societies to do a similar thing, find the best in your college and then we'll get a national thing and find the all-ireland champ!

In the mean time one thing at a time...

I agree with the all ireland one ...........bring it on
My college doesn't have a gaming society
it just about has a student union

Tusky

arg forgot about this , is it deffo on tommorow ? how many people playing ? Is it gonna be a team thing ? is there gonna be a prize ? maybe everyone could chip in 5 euro entry fee ?

also how do I get to UCD and how long does it take by bus from town ?

danke

Syth

Yep, it's on today (Monday). I don't know how many poeple are coming, I postered and hope people will turn up. I reckon we'll try a bit of everything, all out champion, team, anything we have time for, we have the room for about 3 hours.

As for prize money, you play for honour, not trivialities like money.

There are many buses that go from town to UCD, 46A would be the most regular. I don't really know how long it takes, probably less than 30mins.

Tusky, I take it you're not a UCD student?

My college doesn't have a gaming society

Well there is a very simple solution to that: Set one up.

Tusky

twas good fun , I didnt do great but it was all a bit random and who was that REALLY anoying guy ? he never shut up , he is the most frustrating person i have ever met , didnt stop talking for one second the whole time we were there asking the most idiotic questions

We'll have to kill him if he comes anywhere near us EVER. cant believe that guy was in college, he acted like he was about 14 and from some bally-go-backwards neck of the country. Twas fun though. i did crap, got my ass kicked by someone being falcon.

Syth

That annoying guy? I have no idea. Some first year. There is someone else like that in UCD, but that guy was worse. I think he broke one of the controllers (partially). I'm sure every college has the one annoying twat that nobody can stand. That's one of the problems with an event like that, you can't really turn people away. If only...

I wanna whoop ye all so badly....! ALL IRELANDDD

Tusky

wish there was an all ireland SSB contest

Syth

It would be great to have an all ireland SSBM contest. The best time would be over the Christmas holidays, when there is no college or exams to worry about.

There about four ways I can see of doing it.
(a) Meet in someone's house. But you might need a pretty big house.
(b) Rent some room somewhere, like in a hotel, but that'd be hella dear.
(c) Organise it through a college society like this one. But there might be problems about people not being in said society.
(d) Go to a college (say UCD) find an empty lecture theatre and just start playing.

(d) looks like the best option. It would depend on when the college closes over the holidays and if we could get away it. I'll look into it. It would involve people travelling up to Dublin. Again, we could rent a hotel smak bang in the middle of the country to minimise inconvenience, but think how expensive that'd be.
