TubaHero

i'm personally leaning towards the fiver now...unless anyone has any objections, b-o-5 it is

this tourney doth be ONNNN, folks. i'll work on getting the bracky up here, but for now follow these links. Smyth Cup O'Connor Cup players are listed by their aim handle. click on the championship bracket link on the page you are led to. gl and godspeed, hombres. may the least crappy man win. EDIT: found an error in the O'Connor...turns out i don't get a bye after all. guyhebert, it is ON!

now there's an idea! seriously though, ontario already has 2 teams. how about quebec (1) or maybe even saskatchewan, manitoba, or an east coast team? hell, lets face it, put a pro hockey team anywhere in canada and they'll sell out nightly. Yellowknife Yeti, anyone?

it will be single elim. as for best-of, i was going to go with best-of-1 but that just doesn't seem right...so best-of-trois it is

sure, he racked up the goals in the prelims but in the semis and the finals, against teams with more nhl-type players, he did not score once... i'm not saying tavares won't make it in the islanders organization...

Living in london, i've had the "privilege" of seeing Tavares play for the past few months...and quite honestly, i have NOT been impressed. All the man posesses is a freakishly wonderful shot. The dude's an average defender, only slightly above average speed, horseshit in traffic and unimpressive with the puck. In the nhl, where there will be capable defenders nightly able to keep him away from scoring chances, he will falter. Tavares needs to learn off-the-puck skills, as well as on the puck stickhandling, to be any presence in the big time. Otherwise, the Islanders are best advised to steer clear and let someone else pick the next Alexandre Daigle.

ok, due to popular demand, here are the official rules/guidelines: RULES: original rom (no weight bug fix) 5 minute periods Penalties on, no offsides Line changes off it will be a set bracket, perhaps with some byes in the gens tourney due to the weird-ass amount of people. seeding will be done by order you entered the tourney (making yours truly #1 in gens ). anyhow, you and your opponent play a game against each other, then post the results here, bracket will be updated. there will be deadlines to make things run smoother, although if you contact me with your difficulties striking up a match i'll use my discretion to iron out the situation. if any other details are needed, just ask.

welcome chief... if youre up for a tourney soon id suggest the O'Connor/Smyth Cup (http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=10085)...mostly because it's my tourney...and i want someone else to join the snes division so i can leave it. also, add my aim: meatskid1 cheers

pastor, ive got the official gens emu (v2, i believe, its the first on the downloads page) and snes9x...but im not much of a snes guy so dont just go by that if youre thinking of snesing. also, i would say you should get aim RIGHT THIS INSTANT, it's basically the only way we organize games here. while its not necessary to actually play games, it sure shaves off a lot of time if we're all on the same page for organizing. ps, if you need any help setting up or wanna play a test game, aim me at MeatSkid1. guaranteed itll be the best shot at a win youll ever have.

wow...poor greg...he sucks so hard and doesn't even get credit for it...poor chum anyhow, gave me the idea...GENS tourney is still the O'Connor, SNES is re-dubbed the Smyth...all good? also, still need gartner's aim and the internet's system...any time, boys

we've got enough, i believe...setting a registration deadline for next friday (may 8)

you got an aim on ya?

lol...and the fact that our snes competitors are made up of 2 gens crossovers, 2 guys in both tourneys and a guy who hasn't been logged onto the forum or aim since he signed up isn't exactly promising...but i guess we should all just take journey's advice...

hello good sir, my name is TubaHero and i shall be your guide today. for today's activity you're going to need: a keyboard a mouse (preferably with both right and left click functions) a monitor all that s**t you downloaded first off, extract the f out of everything. and by everything, i mean the rom, zbattle, emulators, your mom, etc. anything you downloaded that's a .zip or .rar file, extract 'er (this is where the right click comes in handy). i'm not sure which emulator is better to use (personally, i use 9x, but on the other hand, i've never played online before with snes), so just extract 'em both until a real authority can give you some answers. and remember when extracting .rar files to scream "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" it speeds things up. next opwn up the folder you extracted the emulator into and open it (once again, i don't give a schnitzel which emu you use.) configure your keyboard/controller (whatever you wanna use to play ze games) by going to input-joystick. then, go file-load game, then find the file of the rom that you extracted. the rom will open, and, voila! you can now kick the living daylights out of the cpu! (unless you're like me...) however, none of these instructions will work unless you follow this crucial last step: go to http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=10085 and sign up for the O'Connor Cup. if you don't, i can't promise that Leigh Salters won't come to your house and f up your computer so that the only rom you can play is SabreFan1's NHL 94/09, available at http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=9937. also, get an aim, and talk to someone who actually knows snes. tips go in the tip jar. cheers!

from that i assume you're choosing to snes it up...correct me if i'm wrong

no real schedules...i'll just put up a bracket (seedings will be random) and you and your opponent work out when you play...though it's always best to post availability so people know when to expect you. i figured we'd go with the classic league rules...5 minute periods, line changes off, penalties on with no offsides. also, Junior, quoi est ton AIM? ("what is your AIM?" for the uninformed...)

yeah, i've sent a few out to some of 'em...but i think i'm just gonna do one huge-ass on now to a crudload of new guys. plus, i'll be on full ninja stalker mode tonight, so if any new kids join the forums, they'll be pm'd before they even know what hit 'em. Also, forget what i said last post...no way we're doing a tourney with only 9 people...that doesn't even make a respectable grade 3 clique, let alone a tourney.

god, i'm jacked for this...i've pm'd a few new forumers, but none have really responded...so would anyone be totally crushed if the deadline was sooner, and we just played with these folks? and ps: please, for the love of god, post what team you want

in my defense, the boys found mrs. soul in the stands a little...distracting

got an aim?

[used car salesman] new to the game and want to get some competitive experience? try the O'CONNOR CUP! guaranteed you will only play guys who suck (me) or guys who are new (possibly you!) so what are you waiting for? sign up today at http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?showtopic=10085 [/used car salesman]

i haven't played that game in ages...almost beat it on expert but can't get past the last tuba battle...that "full spit valve" attack is a killer and michigan state being the only fight song on there was, for me, an added bonus.

RECRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIT!!!!!!!!
