Hi, everyone. I wanted to throw the idea out there to see if there's sufficient interest in me hosting an SMB1 tournament.
I would likely start this sometime after SGDQ.
I feel we could either do any% (best of 3 races per round) or warpless.
If you all have an interest in this, let me know your thoughts and category preference. If there's enough interest, I will likely start one. I don't want to start one if there's going to be like less than 10 people.
sounds interesting. sounds cool, but not sure if i would be up for it.
Yes, do warpless, we havent had a warpless race/tourney with a bunch of people in forever. That would be so much fun
I'd be for warpless, and maybe i'll be busy and i'm gonna see if i have time to join in :)
The format would be something like that of the SMW No Cape No Starworld tournament. Each week you would have a match with an opponent until you are eliminated.
Races would be done on SRL and the winner of the matchup would be based off of the SRL results (unless it's so very close we'd need to retime it).
If we did any% you would do three any% races and the winner is who wins the best three races on the same day. Hopefully that makes sense.
If we did warpless, it would be one race and the winner advances to the next round.
Most of the time, these brackets are double elimination, so there's a winners bracket and losers bracket.
To hopefully give those if you an idea of how this works, here is the tournament I ran in 2013: http://smb1.challonge.com/smb1warpless Sadly it didn't come to completion and I ran it at a bad time as well. The community is much larger now and if ran at a better time, I feel it could be more successful.
I may also look into trying to restream some of the matches like the SMW tournament does. I don't know how many people would be available to do help with that, but it's still an idea that I think could be cool. Would also give some exposure to some of the newer/smaller streams.
I would be down for either any% or warpless, it seems that warpless is what everyone is wanting to do
If this is still a consideration, I'd be down for a tournament. I think the community could use it, personally. I will participate if it's warpless or hundo.
I'm mostly played short categories and I can't ever get warpless run, so I can any% category x3.
Effective immediately, any submissions using the SNES9x emulator will not be verified. The SMB1 mod team has concerns about its integrity due to its ability to overclock and remove lag frames, which may not be easily detectable. Additionally, we request that all BizHawk submissions avoid using the S
