Super Smash Bros. 2010 March Madness Tournament
Posted: March 14th, 2010, 11:19 pm
This past Saturday, I had a LAN party at my house, where we played a few games like Call of Duty 4, COD: World at War, and WarCraft III. Aside from the LAN gaming, there were also two Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments held. One tournament was without items enabled and the other tournament was with items enabled on low. We used the following rules for both tournaments:
RULES:
* Lives: 3 Stock Lives
* Time: Infinite Time
* Stages: Random Brawl & Melee Stages, No Custom Stages
* Number of Players: 2 (1 vs. 1) Per Match
There were eight people total that participated in both tournaments. However, each person was able to enter two characters into both tournaments, making them 16-character tournaments.
PARTICIPANTS:
* Mike (AKA Yoon)
* Dan (AKA KillerSmo)
* Jesse (AKA TomTom)
* Troy (AKA troy)
* Ashwin (AKA ashwinz)
* Eric
* Derrick
* Joey
To spice things up, I decided to hand out prizes to the top three winners for each tournament. The prize lists were:
TOURNAMENT 1 PRIZES:
* 1st Place: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC)
* 2nd Place: Hitachi 80 GB 2.5" IDE Hard Drive
* 3rd Place: Linksys RangePlus Wireless Notebook PCMCIA Adapter
TOURNAMENT 2 PRIZES:
* 1st Place: Creative X-Fi Gamer Sound Card
* 2nd Place: Maxtor 10 GB 3.5" IDE Hard Drive
* 3rd Place: MassCool USB 2.0 PCI Card
You can see the results and the YouTube match videos below. All the match videos for Tournament #1 are available, but only six match videos are available for Tournament #2. Initially, I wanted to record all the matches, but the camera battery ran out of juice during the second tournament.

What's interesting is that for both tournaments, there were no championship matches, since the same player met themselves in the final match (Mike in Tournament #1 and Jesse in Tournament #2). As a result, they were declared a winner by default and the 3rd Place match was used to determine 2nd and 3rd Place instead.
Anyhow, feel free to watch some of the exciting match videos! My personal favorite was Match 6 in Tournament #2, which was a pretty epic battle between Eric & Dan!
