SMB1 Any% Tournament
3 years ago
Utah, USA

Hey everyone I just saw Pensrock_12's tournament today and thought why not I hold one so I'm starting one. Just for some info: Allowed platforms are NES and Emulator (NESClassic is ok, but this is just Classic SMB1, No All-Stars). And also, there is no registering so if you wanna participate in it just DM me here on SRC or on Discord and I will add you. If anyone wants to request a platform I'll happily add it. And also there is going to be 8 people in it so there will be a quarter-final, semi, and final. Thanks! Also, idek if promoting tournaments is allowed. Wow, I made this thread long.

I'd like to compete but my PB is 5:10 and I die a lot to finish one run. if that is not a problem then last place of your tournament here I go!

I think we should have like "leagues" based on our PBs so everyone can compete and have fun with similar players. Also these "leagues" can be completely optional for the player, so if any player wants to play top runners there will be nothing wrong with that except the disadvantage of major skills.

Edit: Something like based on your verified PB:

Star League - WR to 5:00 Mario League - 5:01 to 5:05 Luigi League - 5:06 to 5:10 Bowser League - 5:11 to 5:20 Koopa Troopa League - 5:21 to 5:30 and Goomba League - 5:31+ or new players.

The lower "leagues" are allowed to challenge themselves in higher leagues of they want to while higher leagues cannot compete with lower leagues because there's no challenge for them in low leagues. This way everyone can play with similar players and have fun or face real challenge from top players if they wish.

@Mingura666 I like this idea but it would take a lot of time trying to find people for each league.

@Mingura666 That's a really good idea! If I ever host a tournament, I'll be sure keep that idea in mind!

Interest has died down for the tournament now so I will start setting up and I will plan a date.

Utah, USA

everyone who wanted to participate say yes in this forum cuz I cant remember how many people asked me lol and also tell me your pbs on Mario cuz I'm gonna assign ranks based on your pbs.

Just do 'Yes' and your PB time in your post if you wanted to participate.

Hopefully not for a bit so it gives me time to practice. Once I can get a decent time I’ll consider entering.

I just saw this forum. It's probably too late, but I might want to join.

Also, how would the tournament be held? Would it be streamed or something? I'm pretty new to Speedrun.com and stuff so I haven't ever done a speedrun tournament.
