Apparently he's had to go to the hospital. Like, Smug joked about stealing Sanford's food money but apparently Sanford is actually malnourished now.

Is it okay to laugh at this? I legitimately can't decide if this is really sad or really funny.

I thought they were just making jokes because of team PIE. He didn't beat them, so didn't get to eat pie...

I was just talking to PIE, they're in CT right now.

I asked Smug how it felt to take Sanford's lunch money. He looked at me, said "I bought new shoes, new earrings, and my necklace. Sanford is not taking top 3 again."

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

To be fair, it's easy to beat a man with low blood sugar.

Eagerly awaiting the Sanford/Smug match where Smug just lazily eats a Snickers while at character select.

Are there generally rules for pick order in tournaments? Like if a player wants to counterpick or avoid a particular matchup how is it handled?

you tell a tournament official and then you whisper your pick to them, the other guy picks first, then you pick your thing and the to confirms it.

I think most tournaments allow for counterpicking by the loser after the first match, and the winner is not allowed to change anything they picked (character, assists/ultras). Most of the time if you're familiar with your opponent in advance, you could bring out a counterpick first and then go back to your main if that doesn't work out. Just yesterday at the Rusty Parry tournament on Leveluplive, a match had to be replayed because the winner changed characters.


Some tournaments have you register a particular character or team in advance that you can't switch from, but that's pretty rare from what I've seen on streams.

In SF4, you're allowed to switch Ultras if you win, but that's it. Smash has a really weird (and kinda cool I guess?) system where you can switch characters but give up stage veto choices etc but stage counter-picks are like an entirely different game. King of Fighters might let you switch order if you win, I think. That's it, though-- the rest of the time, if you win a fight of a set you have to pick the same poo poo for the next fight in that set.

So who won that? Brackets go all the way up to Rico vs Zeus in loser finals with Smug waiting on them in winners. I was hunting for a stream but nobody could tell me. The New Challengers twitch channel has nothing in their archives.

CHARBOKALYPSE, TKF BrothaBlacks, FREEJ4Y, Gill Hustle, FC Blackburry, TSC Mike Mason, and myself are all I see on the brackets right now. There were a few who registered day-of, and weren't on the brackets, and they had another TO run it himself, so it wasn't logged.

It was a really fun time, especially being able to meet Team PIE, Dieminion and his brother, and Rico Suave- they were all cool guys who just wanted to laugh about Sanford. (They also came up since this was for money, and Spring Fighter in NYC was just for prizes) This was the first time this group had a tournament since they lost their last venue, but they already planned for another tournament on August 2nd, just with about 3x the space at the same venue.

The biggest issue was the Smash Bros players, honestly. Not that they were acting like fools or anything, but just that there were so many of them, and they all brought CRT setups for project M which just took up so much space. Plus, those players will travel to play, unlike a lot of Capcom players. It was pretty nuts.

After meeting Smug, Zeus and Rico I'd say I agree with this 100%. They were really cool to talk to and watch play.

All versions of Bomb are -17 on block but he bounces far enough back (well outside of Ryu sweep range or even Abel sweep range) that you won't get a big punish meterless. With meter sometimes you can get something, it's character dependent. 200 damage/300 stun raw, if he counter-hits and wallbounces you going into the corner he gets 442/600 for no extra bars by adding cl.HK xx HK upkicks or 474/685 with EX upkicks. He gets the same damage midscreen on CH FADC forward. EX Bomb FADC forward is also safe from 3f reversals on block!
