Avcom is the Adelaide Anime and Video game convention
This year was huge in numbers, the video game room was the place to be with melee and naruto machines drawing crowds.
Here is a low down on the Melee, naruto and bomberman ds touraments
Saturday
Midday saturday launched the Melee tournament, strictly 32 people... well so much for that, 80 people ended up registering
With 5-10 ppl being dq because they didnt show up when there name was called
The 2 last people to live in stock 3 matches/random stages won and went on to semi's were it changed to 5min matches.
The prizes:
1st. starfox assault + nintendogs - chihauhau & friends promo top + ds keyring (from NAL)
2nd. starfox assault + ds keyring (from NAL)
Sadly I came tied 3rd
winner: kiesser.... 1st. Marth 2. Luigi (very good luigi player)
Next up after the monster 80man melee was 2 player naruto 3 tournament at 3pm, featuring about 60 players
The first match played featured the person who won, who nearly lost the first game.
The prizes:
1st: $60 of naruto merch, 2nd: $40 of naruto merch
The winner works at the place were the merch is from, shin tokyo....so yeah lol
He played as Itachi, 2nd place was rock lee
I personally made it to the 2nd round.
Around 30mins later the 4 player naruto tournament, featuring around 50 players
With only the winner going thu to the next round.
The problem was that some people walked off and they pressed start on the none controlled person, and the person won due to having the most heath due to time limit's
they soon fixed it and made them 3 player matches.
I didnt witness the final match due to being knocked out in first round and not being very interested.
The prizes:
1st: $60 of naruto merch, 2nd: $40 of naruto merch
Sunday:
Sadly due to falling back alseep I missed the ulitmate gamer tourament, I know it included mario kart
D, gran trismo and point black...beyond that I do not know
prize: DS launch promo top, ds keyring, zelda: minish cap + stuff from sony & microsoft
1:30 Started the Sign up of Bomberman DS, up until this time I didnt see any DS's or PSP's
I meet a gamer when signing up and challenged me to Metroid, he kicked my ass.
Around 2 O'clock alot of DS owners had gathered, around 15 at that time, I was well impressed by the numbers.
The Man explained How bomberman worked and we started downloading, the trouble was It toke around 5min for 6 of 8 to download it, 2 people didnt show up on the hosts DS.
He restarted the download and we all got in, in about 3mins.
Around this time another 10 or so gamers popped up with there DS.
The game was single round, with only the winner going on.
In all about 4 games happened, being about 30 people entered
pic1pic2 Prize:
1st: Another code (from NAL)
After this ended alot of people stayed and played DS against each other, I personly got to play band brothers in 4 player (have demo on standby atm thanks to "god brain") and a little bit of pictochat.
Good event, more info check Avcom.org.au
