Slightly more competitive rules?

Peachrocks · Mar 03, 2009#262009-03-03T07:13

Tricks!

. Seriously I don't really know.

Anyway, the point was basically some suggestions and a pool of ideas that could be used for putting this game on a bigger scale.

DJCat · Mar 03, 2009#272009-03-03T07:55

Tie breaker means you take it to Big Snowman.
Regardless of the game

It was so good in 1 that time...

fruityman · Mar 03, 2009#282009-03-03T10:02

For tiebreaker you could do it the fun way (tricks with lol wings!

)
Or this sounds wierd but how about judge by how many shots you have by the end of the race? It could be strategic to save your shots in case you tie. :/

Peachrocks · Mar 03, 2009#292009-03-03T18:02

Actually tie breaker shouldn't be difficult.

Most wins out of the tied players is the winner, if same wins then most second places. If they basically mirrored results, that's more complicated, we'll have to think of something else.

fruityman · Mar 03, 2009#302009-03-03T20:51

Along with points that should be okay.

So rules so far are:
-Point scoring (1 lap race, 1vs1, breaks tie)
-Amount of races as time permits
-

+ Spec boards banned
-Sunny mountain + X-course banned?

Anyone want to expand or correct?

GeckoPwnz · Mar 03, 2009#312009-03-03T21:29

I'd say another race, but chances are that only 2-3 people will participate

DJCat · Mar 03, 2009#322009-03-03T21:48

But that would mean computer players, right?

Hey, there is a 2 day lan coming up in April, where we have our Smash tournaments, I reckon having SBK1 on Day 1 and SBK2 on Day 2 would be sweet as.
But carry on, back to the rules.

nicole couch · Mar 03, 2009#332009-03-03T22:36

I say the winner of the tiebreaker comes down to who earned the most money during the race. And, I am so in for the two day LAN.

Peachrocks · Mar 03, 2009#342009-03-03T23:58

Rat faces would make that blow though. I think 1 lap, 2 players, computers included, leader out of players on 1 lap breaks the tie. We may need AI players to fill gaps as it is anyway.

fruityman · Mar 04, 2009#352009-03-04T05:42

But don't forget about meddling computors.
The computors don't care if they win. They only care about shooting
down the players, leading them to do some silly things a player wouldn't normally
do.

Just have 4 player match with only two people playing.

But yeah, good idea you got there.

Peachrocks · Mar 04, 2009#362009-03-04T06:45

That works and is even better... and Fruity definately knows about the silly things he does when the AI is near him. He also got to experience a live double JD (just deflect), it was so awesome to actually do it with someone watching

(He also knows about doing loads of tricks with lol wings and falling over at the end of it)

fruityman · Mar 04, 2009#372009-03-04T09:11

Heh heh heh

What about courses? Particularly Sunny Mountain.
Sunny Mountain seems a bit too short and simple.

Peachrocks · Mar 04, 2009#382009-03-04T17:30

It is... I keep meaning to find a standardised length so Sunny Mountain could be tested under those amount of laps, but yeah it is a bit too simple.

fruityman · Mar 04, 2009#392009-03-04T20:29

Course lengths (beat ya to it Peach)

Sunny Mountain
Length: 1008m
Turtle Island
Length: 1379m
Jingle Town
Length: 1480m
Wendy's house
Length: 1656m
Linda's Castle
Length: 1532m
Crazy Jungle
Length: 1603m
Starlight Highway
Length: 1520m
Haunted House
Length: 1556m
Ice Land
Length: 1668m
Snowboard Street:
Length: 1420m
X-course:
Length: 899m

They're all pretty much the same except for Sunny mountain and X-course.
4 laps for all, 5 for Sunny Mountain and 6 for X-course sounds okay.
But seeing as Sunny Mountain and X-course are probably not going to be played
it's not too much of a worry.

DJCat · Mar 04, 2009#402009-03-04T21:16

This is the 2 day event I mentioned earlier where I'm hoping we can get some SBK (both kinds!) happening.

http://www.lansmash.com/event/autumn-lan-2009
23th and 24th of May.

Peachrocks · Mar 04, 2009#412009-03-04T23:01

I guess yeah. Turtle Island should be 4 laps because of the shortcut.

The courses aren't great for averaging out length because even some of the ones that are marginally shorter, pushing them to 4 laps would be too many... Some courses are also longer than others in time because of the nature. Ice land for example takes longer to play out than Wendy's because it's designed for a lot of shot warfare, where as Wendy's house curved straight ways and walls make it much easier to jump dodge projectiles into walls.

fruityman · Mar 05, 2009#422009-03-05T05:21

In that case, we can shorten ice land to 3 laps.
As long as they're approximately the same length we'll be good.
Also, what's the LAN smash about? Is it a gathering
or is it more like a big convention sort of thing?
I couldn't really gather from the site.

DJCat · Mar 05, 2009#432009-03-05T07:56

Its just a LAN with lots of things being run.
Including Smash Bros and Snowboard Kids if everything goes to plan.
Which it should

nicole couch · Mar 05, 2009#442009-03-05T08:21

Where is it being held BTW?

fruityman · Mar 06, 2009#452009-03-06T05:36

LAN smash is somewhere in Brisbane.
A bit far for me being in Sydney though.

Peachrocks · Mar 06, 2009#462009-03-06T19:03

I was considering flying up, but I dunno, I'll want to know more concencrete details. Besides I do want to go snowboarding this year... (I mean really... not in a game

)

fruityman · Mar 06, 2009#472009-03-06T22:12

On the topic of LAN smash:
When you say smash bros, you mean n64, melee and brawl?
Also, aside from smash and SBK, what other games are there?

DJCat · Mar 07, 2009#482009-03-07T01:33

Just the usual popular PC games + Halo etc for xbobx
http://www.lansmash.com/blog/autumn-lan-2009-changes

Smash includes Melee and Brawl.
If yas did come up from Sydney I can give ya free housing, have infinite space.

fruityman · Mar 07, 2009#492009-03-07T03:04

Unfortunately, looks like I have to give it a miss, giving the location.
So wish I could be there though.

Peachrocks · Mar 07, 2009#502009-03-07T03:54

Good to know though DJ
