    Anyways, I had plans on returning to hosting a league for Brawl.  I have already done it before and quite possible to do.  One the things I would do would post replays onto youtube so everyone could watch.  However, I am probably not likely going to host it here if no one here is interested.  I already list my reasons onto the former place I hosted it.
    http://www.wiichat.com/super-smash-bros-brawl/58985-will-go-back-hosting-brawl-league.html#post1006431

    To give you an idea what the league would be like.
    People would participate in one to three matches per a month.
    Matches consisted of a best of two out of three.
     Each match could be no longer than 3 minutes (the length of a replay)
    Matches would be sent out to me for recording.

    To give you an idea what the quality of the recording is.

    So what are people's thoughts on this league coming to Giant Bomb?

    I've rarely experienced laggy matches when playing with people whom I have exchanged codes with.  I have played against people from England to California without an issue of lag.

    It is fun.  It really focuses on a more competitive game scenario.  Plus it isn't random people.  Its people who you can actually talk to.

    A couple of tournaments, similar to this idea, were hosted by Arkthemaniac (I think it was him.) He might be able to help you out.

    Seriously?  A real strange surprise.  I think even the Australians have them by now, unless you are from Australia(The people damned to never have video games)?  Although from my first impression, I thought you were an American with the military camouflage design and the grey pistol your holding up .  Although double checking the photo, you aren't even holding a gun and I cannot tell if that is a camouflage design.  Plus when I realized you don't spell according to American English, I just assumed you were British.  But if you don't have Brawl, you must be from Australia.  Otherwise I think you are weird, which is quite a statement coming from me.

    Although my question is, why have you held out on buying the game for so long?

    Moneys? I don't have Mario Kart either. Even launch games cost full price here, it's insane... And I'm primarily a PC gamer.

    I'm not American, I'm Greek, and yes we have video games, lol. Also, there's no pistol in my photo. We tended to not use them sitting indoors. Lol.

    Well, you just did, and it was totally uncalled for. Maybe I overreacted but it was more directed @ everyone who does it than just you, and it really was uncalled for and waaaay off topic and not what was being discussed at all with my post that you quoted.

    I'm sure that we would establish "8est/5pst" sort of thing. As for how often, that may be up to Godwind.

    welcome to teh interwebz."
    WHEN DO I BASH GAMES I DISLIKE? The only games that i've even expressed a dislike for are the awful JRPGS on the 360, like Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, and Lost Odyssey.

    Keep in mind that you guys will be sending the replays out to me. Each game is 3 minutes long and two stock and three games played.  Trust me, it works and its fun.  As for scheduling, I leave that up to players.  I list certain information such as the time zones and wii console codes and friend codes.  I kept things pretty organized so people can track down the information one needs.  Don't worry how it will work.  I already worked this system before and works quite well.  I keep it so people don't hate participating.

    I don't think we should necessarily have 3 minute rounds, but whatevs. I need to bring this league some credibility with my all star SSBB status. You're looking at the GB SSBB reigning champ!

    At this point, there are over 6 people.  I will host it on this site.  I will have everything ready by Friday.  I want to make a few modifications to the rules I had from the old league.

    Will all control styles be open or will we be limited to one control scheme?

    Edit: I figure we might as well start listing our friend codes and such.

    Cool, since the place that used to have Brawl tourneys that I'm registered with diversified itself to get more members, I'll go along with this. I'm getting a V-Box, too, so if anyone wants to play games longer than 3 minutes with me, that's cool, I can record it (I'll post when I do have the V-Box, I don't at the moment though). I won't post too much though, mostly because I'm already trying to just keep on top of topics from about 5 different gaming sites and some TV show sites along with preparing to move house and I'm trying to learn some computer languages so I can begin my journey in game development.


    Anyway, short version: I'm in, won't be posting all that much.

    By the way, anyone wondering, the DSi is… AWESOME!!!! The one time something came to Australia first!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAA

    Regards,

    ≈Roy

    P.S - Brawl has been here for almost a year, just clarifying.

    Count me out, it doesn't look like I'll have my game soon as there was a problem with the store overcharging me 1 cent, and since I use that account specifically for online purchases and only ever add the exact value, they just never completed the other until they got hold of me on the phone to tell me for some reason the bank wouldn't accept the order and after much talking with the bank and them, I finally found out they tried to charge a cent over the value and I had them fix it. So, with the weekend inbetween I guess I'll have it sometime next week. Gawd, I never had so much trouble over one stupid cent before, hah...

    Don't worry.  The league is continuous.  It doesn't stop existing.  People can join and leave at any time.  Although sorry to hear about your troubles.  Although if that was to happen in America, they would just charge us over money.  So to spend of one cent would cost us $60 dollars.  To give you an idea of the conversion.

    60.00 USD

    =

    44.6393 EUR



    0.01 USD

    =

    0.00744036 EUR
