New ladder event: Doubles Day

23 comments

by Foodies May 10 2013, 11:14AM

Hi everyone! I’m here to announce the start of a new doubles ladder event – Doubles Day! We couldn’t really think of anything more creative to call it than that, sorry. Anyway, this event was designed to improve doubles ladder activity, since that has been a bit lacking as of late.

Here’s how it works: every week, there will be a day designated as doubles day. On that day, whichever team plays the most matches (winning isn’t necessary) will earn the new Duo Dueler badge! It comes with a new name color: Black with a Red and Blue Shadow. The color will likely change in the future (when Enigma gets database powers) because Shadows were supposed to be mod only colors and it looks a bit ugly right now anyway. But it will still be a new color.

Sample:

The schedule of the event is tentatively scheduled to rotate from Mondays to Fridays (Fridays may be skipped over if there is a major tournament going on that weekend). You can find out when the designated day is each week by checking the Doubles Ladder Partner Finder group. For the first few events (or as necessary), we will send out a group PM reminder on the designated day for convenience - we might also designate a time that day for mod teams to show up for a chance at the Double Danger badge (depends on availability, of course).

The first event will start on Monday, May 13th.

Fine print:
-Your team must have played at least 3 matches that day to earn the badge
-In the event that there is a tie in number of matches played, the badge will be awarded to the team with the highest score. However, if the score happens to be tied too, each team will get the badge.
-If a team that has the badge already plays the most matches on that day, no one gets the badge for the week. That team will instead receive TCG cards (including ones from the Duo card category).

Special thanks to xMARx for the idea initially, Skyviper for making the badge, and Enigma for adding the color.

P.S. If you are having difficulties joining doubles ladder, follow these instructions to get past the glitch: http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?id=202981

The Perfect Week

23 comments

by Enrish Jun 30 2012, 5:25PM

For those of you that have been keeping up with the ladder or recent content, you know that we have been hosting events for ladder every weekend to increase activity. While things are looking fairly decent, we can always do better, and a little fun never hurts anyone. To add an extra spark to ladder, I wanted to introduce a new event: Perfect Week!

The Perfect Week is based on an episode of How I Met Your Mother, where Barney Stinson, the ladies man of the series, accepts the challenge of taking home a new woman every night of the week. If you're not understanding what I'm getting at, the idea of this event is to take one of your fellow smashers home every night of the week. The idea of this event is to defeat at least one new opponent every night of the week. To make this event special, it will only take place during official seasons (ones where badges count and playoffs occur.) In addition, there will be two different weeks for the ladders. For this season, the Perfect Week schedule is as follows:

Singles: July 16th - 22nd
Doubles: July 23rd - 29th

Your matches can be played any time throughout the day as long as they are submitted by midnight (EST) of that day. To be clear you can play the same opponent as many times as you want in that one week, but they will only count towards one day of your Perfect Week. The new opponents don't have to be someone you've never played in your ladder history; just someone you haven't played during the Perfect Week. The Perfect Weeks have been scheduled to match the appropriate weekend events. This means the weekend of Singles Perfect Week is Singles Weekend, and the weekend of Doubles Perfect Week is Doubles Weekend. We do realize that acquiring these badges may be difficult, especially for doubles, but that's the point. The badges will be worth at least 500 points (the doubles one might be more than singles due to the difficulty of finding matches), and have a Barney Stinson theme to it. A week before the first Perfect Week, I will be posting a blog to remind everyone.

P.S. Don't forget that this weekend is Doubles Weekend! If you need a refresher on the ladder schedule, click here.

Spring '12 Ladder Event Schedule

15 comments

by Invinciboy Jun 6 2012, 1:40PM

As Enrish stated in his latest ladder article, one of the changes we plan to implement is more ladder weekends. Ever since the match requirements for playoffs were introduced during the Road to Apex ladder, the brackets never met their intended quotas. My goal is to try to restore the brackets to their former glory, give you all more chances to play, and liven up those ladder chats by means of two sub-changes:

1. In addition to Doubles Weekends, there will be Singles Weekends. While not as bad as doubles, singles brackets have been a few players short...even though it should be fairly easy for everyone to meet the requirement of thirty matches. (Just look at all of the players who played at least a hundred matches in the past!) Regardless, the timespan is the same as Doubles Weekends, and shall remain like this unless stated otherwise in a blog. Here are the days and times (based on Eastern Standard Time):

-Friday: 3 pm - midnight (12 am)
-Saturday: noon (12 pm) - midnight (12 am)
-Sunday: 1 pm - 10 pm

The badges, however, are a different story. With respect to the event itself, only one is being made for playing at least two matches on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. For those badge connoisseurs out there (using the non-vulgar version of the badge name for the article's sake) who are curious as to why this is, keep in mind that there used to be only one badge for Doubles Nights. The only two reasons that badge is still given out in addition to the actual Doubles Weekend badge is because doubles ladder isn't usually crowded, and...well, badges can't be deleted, so no point in neglecting it. Back on topic, if there seems to be a decline in attendance as the weekend goes by, then I'll consider a second badge.

2. There will be ladder events every weekend, and they will alternate between singles and doubles. This weekend (June 8 - 10) will be Singles Weekend, next weekend (June 15 - 17) will be Doubles Weekend (SUNDAY WILL GO FROM 12 AM TO 12 AM (24 HOURS) FOR FATHER'S DAY), and all future weeks will switch in that fashion. Keep in mind that the last weekend an event will take place before the ladder ends is July 27 - 29, which will be a Doubles Weekend.

That's about all you need to know when it comes to the schedule. I'll close this article by listing all of the badges you can earn for these events:

Singles: wifi warrior, staff slayer, and singles weekend warrior.

Doubles: double dater, doubles weekend warrior, and double danger.

As always, if you qualify for any of these, let Enrish or I know. Happy laddering!

AiB 2011 Smash Election: Group Decoration Contest

11 comments

by vVv Sumer May 30 2011, 2:44PM

Greeting everyone, it's time for another announcement for the AiB 2011 Smash Election! I hope you've all been enjoying the election so far. I've been having fun hosting the mascot tourney and seeing all of the tickets rallying for support for their causes. I'd like to apologize about not being able to have the Doubles Tourney everyone has been looking forward to last week, but I'll for sure be hosting it tonight at 8 PM EST, so no need to wait any longer for that. I apologize for all the date changes, and I know some people might have issues with this date; however no date (including the original one I made) works for everyone, so just try your best to make it and if you can't there are still more events to make up points in, so no need to worry. Also, just an idea I was recently mentioned. If only one team member can show up, I'll allow the other to enter with a level 9 computer reprsenting their mascot. That should make things a little interesting. lol

Furthermore, I'd like to announce this week's contest. I'll be hosting a group decoration contest in collaboration with Miles of SmashWiki. This contest will involve you and your supporters customizing your support groups to advertise your tickets to the members of AiB. You'll be judged on creativity, effort, theme, and overall satisfaction. You can throw a bunch of cool pics of your mascot on your group page, make up cool slogans, or think of anything else that will make your groups shine over the other ones. Each ticket will have until this Friday, June 3rd at midnight EST, to have their groups finalized. We'll judge them over the weekend and reveal the winners in next week's update.

I'll be looking forward to seeing how creative you can get with your groups this week, and even more so to tonight's Doubles Tourney. Good luck to everyone and I hope you have fun!

Interview with Sanoscy & Junebug!

34 comments

by falln Sep 28 2009, 4:42PM

Falln: Hi! I guess we’ll start off by your names and mains in brawl.

Junebug: I'm Junebug and I main Lucario and DK. In teams, I use Lucario/Wario/and Metaknight

Sanoscy: I'm Sanoscy and I main Meta knight and Pokemon Trainer

Falln: So, this has been the first full season of All is Brawl Doubles and you got second in the playoffs. How does it feel?

Junebug: It feels good!

Sanoscy: Awesome!

Junebug: I mean, at the beginning of the season, we were like geez, so many good teams, but we got this! We weren’t trying to be cocky, but tried to stay positive, because it’s better than assuming we’ll lose.

Falln: It’s argued that characters other than metaknight are the best in doubles, such as Wario or Game and Watch. What’s your take on that?

Junebug: Wario sucks in wifi doubles, in my opinion, against most of the cast. Meta Knight is good on wifi, but not amazing, except for his tornado. Lucario is good and bad in doubles. You're going to be at half power 24/7 if you're even. However, if the time comes where you fall behind...Lucario behind in doubles kills remarkably easy. I've killed with fsmashes around 60-80 when behind. It's broken, but you never want to be behind, so it’s a double sided dagger.

Falln: So in your experience in the doubles ladder, who has been your toughest opponent and why?

Junebug: We haven't really played an opponent that we said 'WOW, THEY'RE SOO GOOD! But any team that Anti is on, because he’s very good in doubles. Hydruz also seems to counter me and Sanoscy as well. We haven't found a team that just blowed our minds yet, we'll hopefully get there this ladder.

Falln: A lot of new teams are entering this season, so perhaps we'll find some.

Junebug: Probably, Jbandrew + Anti are our biggest fear, and of course you guys, since you knocked us out last time!

Sanoscy: Lag is broken.

Falln: Alrighty, so in doubles, how do you generally play?

Junebug: We alternate. We don't really have set things, but I usually get most of the kills. Sanoscy does the damage. Tanking depends on the situation. Sometimes he tanks more, sometimes I do.

Sanoscy: ...

Junebug: That's a compliment Sanoscy!

Falln: So do you guys have any tips for what to do for other newcomers in doubles?

Junebug: Newcomers? Maybe practice combos, talk to each other a lot.

Falln: Do you guys have a particular stage that you like to fight on the most? Any reasons for it?

Sanoscy: I let june choose the stages.

Junebug: I like say a stage, and he says yes or no, usually yes. Sometimes I have no CP, but we don’t counterpick wild stages. We noticed a lot of teams do in the ladder, so I guess we should try to do it as well.

Falln: Alrighty, well that's it I suppose. Thanks for your time.

Sanoscy: Thanks!

Junebugx and Sanoscy made it into the doubles playoffs with a record of 10-0, making their way through to grand finals, losing 2-3, 2-3, getting second place. Good job, Sanoscy and Junebugx!

Talkin' doubles With Inui!

Let me explain the whole point of an article about doubles first. Some of you may not like doubles, some of you may be horrible at it and so you don’t care, and some of you might just think I suck so you don’t care what I have to say. Well, this article can easily change all of that. If you already love doubles, then you’ll enjoy reading this for sure. If you doubt my credentials when it comes to doubles, just go take a peek at my medal case. You’ll see tons of doubles medals dating back to the release of Brawl and even many national and regional medals for doubles, including lots of first place medals. My normal partner is Atomsk, so a lot of what I will explain will be based on my experiences with him. I have also teamed with dmbrandon, ChuDat, ksizzle, Bum, Ether, teh_spamerer, and Mew2King, all with great success.

Doubles Night is Back!

After the huge turnout for our last doubles night, we've decided it's time for another! The next doubles night will take place on Wednesday, July 8! The festivities will start at around 4 PM EST (That's 1 PM for those on the West Coast) and will continue all day and night until we've all brawled ourselves out!

If you missed your chance at the double dater badge, this is another chance to get one! And if you think you've got what it takes, you can take a shot at my team, Banhammers, for a chance to win a special badge!
