| Posted: 30 Jan 2017 11:07 AM PST Due to recent events, the sub has become a bit politically-oriented in its posts and comments. We as mods work to keep the sub focused solely on Smash, and that has not changed in the last few days. For anyone out of the loop, a top Smash 4 player from the Netherlands, Mr R, is currently unable to attend US tournaments due to a recent nation-wide ban on citizens of a number of middle eastern countries. Mr R happens to have dual citizenship with one of those countries, so he cannot enter the US at the moment. Since this is news of Mr R's ability to attend tournaments, it is allowed on the sub. What is not allowed here is discussion of the ban itself. [Edit - To clarify, I meant Mr R's ban, not our ban on political discussions.] There are countless mediums for you to discuss politics both on and off Reddit, and I encourage all of you to do so. Political activism is a great thing. We as mods were on the fence about removing political discourse on the sub because we feel it is an important responsibility we all share, but in the end this is simply not the place for it. /r/Smashbros will continue to be one of the few places on reddit where we can all put aside our political differences for a moment and focus on something else. We as mods will be much more strict on removing political comments and we ask you as users to report political comments. Thanks in advance. Feel free to discuss this policy here or by messaging the mods. [link] [comments]  | ||

| This year's Genesis also featured the very first TO Summit! Here are the details. Posted: 30 Jan 2017 02:30 PM PST Behind the hype of Melee's top 8 and the 0.9x controversy, something major was taking place behind the scenes at G4. For the first time in Smash's history, the most prominent and influential TOs and community heads sat down in a single room together to begin discussion on Smash's future as a collective whole. Previously, the union of TOs was relegated to quick conversations at nationals, usually in hushed meetings on the tournament floor. At G4, ~30 TOs gathered in a conference room and held a serious discussion about the years ahead. We discussed three major points of conflict among the tournament organizers: the yearly calendar, sponsorships, and how to make our growth sustainable. It was a meeting mostly of ideas, with some ideas lacking traction and some debated at length. All of our TOs have a different vision of the scene and its future, but it was apparent that we all had come into that room for the same purpose: we want to see smash grow and succeed. With that in mind, several goals were established for the year of 2017:
TO summits are planned for Evo, Shine, and Big House of this year, with more likely to follow. As more information is deliberated on and decisions are made, the members of the TO Summit are committed to making the process as transparent to newer organizers as possible. We look forward to working for you in the future, and if you have any questions about the process, please don't hesitate to ask! Here are some photos by Tisch of the day. http://imgur.com/a/jytTh The following people were in attendance:

| Frostbite 2017 Announcements and Clarifications Posted: 30 Jan 2017 01:43 PM PST Hello everyone! Vayseth here to bring you all my last update on #Frostbite2017 before registration closes. I am currently outside the US on business so this will be my last post until the week before Frostbite. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact Pulse Gaming's owners on Twitter at @PulseGamingGG or at their personal Twitter Accounts @KoolOriBro and @PulseTheAgedOne. I cannot wait to see all of you at my last tournament in Michigan until The Big House 7! Without further delay… let's get started! FROSTBITE'S ROAD TO TIER 1 STATUSAs of this afternoon we had 232 players registered for Frostbite 2017! I am starting to think reaching our goal of 512 players (and therefore becoming a Tier 1 tournament for PGRv3) could actually happen. Thank you all so much for the support and make sure to #ComeToFrostbite It would really mean a lot for these Japanese players who rarely get the opportunity to leave Japan to have a Tier 1 tournament result for them to be ranked next season. Let's make it happen! Registration is still LIVE here and has been officially extended through Valentine's Day. Show your love for #Frostbite2017 by registering and getting us that 512! THE CREW BATTLESA lot has happened, a lot has changed, and there is a lot of misinformation out there so I want to clear the air about a few things:
ANNOUNCING A NEW PARTNERSHIPIn order to help get costs down low we reached out to many organizations and companies. We are proud to announce that 2GG will be extending their cooperative efforts with the Midwest to Frostbite 2017! 2GG is helping Komorikiri and Ranai participate in not only the biggest tournament in Michigan since The Big House, but Socal will also get some love because both of them will be entering the MSM and WNF immediately after Frostbite! Help 2GG and Pulse Gaming bring these incredible players to both regions by donating at MSM and donating to VoiD's stream. Any additional funds raised will go towards bringing additional Japanese players to future 2GG events! Details regarding the donation toruanement and VoiD's donation stream will be coming soon from 2GG so be sure to follow them on Twitter for updates! ANNOUNCING A NEW SPONSORI am pleased to announce that @ControllerChaos will be sponsoring Frostbite 2017! I strongly believe that Frostbite 2017's biggest appeal is not the main event and not even the crew battle! I believe our on demand side events will change how event organizers do events from now on. FINALLY players have the ability to grind side events to recoup their costs getting to and participating in the event. However, now thanks to Controller Chaos, players will have even more incentives to grind side events! We will have Controller Chaos custom-made Frostbite 2017 controllers available exclusively for the players who perform the best in various categories. Should we have a For Fun champion? A For Glory Champion? How about the player who enters the most side events? How about a player with the longest winning streak throughout the weekend? What do you think will qualify players for a custom controller? Let me know and maybe we will use your idea! REGARDING THE 2017 RECOMMENDED RULESETThis is probably the most asked question. Will Frostbite 2017 be using the new ruleset? ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is not because we disagree with the new rules and this is not a political move of any kind. I was on the panel, I agree with the majority of the ruleset and with some tweaks, this will be a great thing for our game. However, the owners of Pulse Gaming and myself unanimously agree that we cannot in good conscience suddenly switch to the new ruleset for an event of this magnitude so close to the event after hundreds of people have already registered. We will be running the same ruleset as Genesis 4. I apologize to everyone looking forward to the new rules first real test at an event of this size, but you will likely have to wait until March for that. Let's make Frostbite the last tournament with the 2016 rules and the last tournament before the release of the Nintendo Switch the following weekend! So, if you don't like the new ruleset... #ComeToFrostbite WRAP UPIt's starting to get colder. Frostbite is getting closer. Frostbite Bear is about to come out of hibernation. Wii U singles. Wii U doubles. The hypest crew battle in Wii U history. Game-changing on demand side events. I actually still have some tricks up my sleeve so check back with me around Valentine's Day where I'll unleash the rest of my announcements for the FINAL day of registration. .#ComeToFrostbite.

| TukhouseSmash VODS + Stream Explanation Posted: 30 Jan 2017 10:29 PM PST Hey guys my tag is Hadoken, I was half of the crew that ran the Tukhousesmash stream at Genesis 4 and I just want to bring some light onto what happened and why our stream was a pixelated disaster. Since we were planning on showing off the multi-stream at this event in full force, we packed all 4 setups along with $2k worth of gear into a car and driving down to San Jose from Seattle. Two days before the event, the main owner of Tukhousesmash Mike got word from the G4 crew that we were not getting a hardwire connection to stream from and that we might not get any internet at all. Since the G4 staff generously provided a hotel room for us we thought we might as drive down anyways just to see if circumstances change by the time we get there. Fast forward a 13 hour car ride later and we are at Genesis 4 with still no internet, on the schedule it says we were only streaming on Saturday but Mike received an email from a staff member coordinating the streams saying that we were able to setup and stream on Friday. Unfortunately, no one from the Genesis 4 staff had any idea that we were approved for this and basically told us that we were not given any space for setup. We eventually decided that we were just going to setup anyways on an open table no one was using and that was the place we were stationed at the entire weekend. Still lacking dedicated internet we were left with two options; my phone's 4g connection, or the public Wi-Fi 3000+ people were connected to. This obviously impaired the quality of our stream and ultimately frustrated both Mike, and myself. This is also why there was so much text on the screen and general memery, Mike and I didn't really care about what the stream looked like anymore. But what most don't know is that we were locally recording every individual tournament match that was being played on our setups and are being uploaded here. All of the sets are not uploaded yet but we will be getting around to having them all out within the next couple weeks I know the staff that worked Genesis 4 were very busy during that weekend and we are very happy that they provided our own hotel room it was just very disappointing to drive all that way down just to stream at 500 kb/s off my phone TL;DR: We drove 25+ hours to stream for an event that didn't give us internet. VODS ARE HERE [link] [comments]  | ||
