North America's Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Open Starts Later This Month

I just want to win more than 2mil gsp when i win and lose less than 4mil gsp when i lose. The gsp system is broken

@PBandSmelly
This whole gsp thing really makes them seem bipolar, they don’t want to scare away the casual audience but make you feel like complete trash when you lose with this gsp system.

...Yeah I wouldn't make it...I suck, and the lag would constantly mess me up anyways. lol

I don’t wanna sound like a “competitive snob”, but not sure if an items on tournament is the best practice for EVO.

So you have to use Discord to have an open line to ‘Support’, and players have to present their own scores. And one of the entrants will be hosting the private arena, not the tourney admins

No thanks. That’s too much work on the player’s end for something that’s supposed to be coordinated by a third party contest administrator.

@HobbitGamer Lets compare it to a standard national tournament.

1. Travel to the tournament (accomodation/fuel/flights/etc) /// open Discord
2. Sign up /// contact Discord TO
3. Find out who you are playing against by finding a TO /// see above
4. Find an available setup to play out your games which can often take upwards of 20 minutes /// chat to opponent and decide on host, start playing immediately
5. Report your match scores to a TO /// report your match scores to Discord TO

It is almost like it is the same process as a regular tournament but easier. I'd be more concerned with latency and the in-game ruleset than what seems to be fairly standard get-up for large scale tournaments (minus spending money on travel/accomodation, potential public space anxiety for some, and the general smell).

What about Latin America??

@ItalianBaptist I was wondering something similar. But Evo will probably have several hundred entrants, most of whom won't make it out of pools. All the top players will be at Evo regardless, so it sounds to me like this will mainly benefit four people who can't afford travel to Las Vegas. They'll enter, and they'll get beaten in pools like most everyone else. Won't really make a difference in the end, but hopefully they'll have fun.
