Hey,
I'd love to see your unholy destruction, but that's kind of a long drive from me. I live in Alabama.

I would consider it if I were ever in the New York area, except...

Picture this: Jealous beat S-Hard with a record of eight tries, and his elite four run (ritchie, bruno, lorelei, gary, mewtwo) consisted of 0 deaths. It was unreal when I saw it happen.

Now I'm just terrified. I believe the only course of action in the face of such power is complete and unconditional surrender

Puzzle league could definitely be an e-sport. In my opinion, the graphics are fine in any version of the game. Players who love this game know that the visuals don't need to be more flashy or 3D. It's already a beautiful game.

It will never be an E-sport in the same way as LoL or CoD or SC, but it could develop in the same way as the Smash community. Simply a bunch of nerds who love the game and are willing to meet up in person with their CRT's and SNES's to just have fun and share their passion.

Even though puzzle league will never be played on the big stage, there is certainly plenty of room for the game to develop as a community. Players can play a mix of time trial and versus mode and try to find the most optimal settings. Perhaps players could even create a mod similar to Project Melee, that modifies versus mode so garbage blocks drop faster, fewer at a time, or are invisible until they fall.

There doesn't seem to be a unified online community for puzzle league. Maybe we can start right here on Teamliquid. I'll bring a SNES to an MLG event!

@Challengers

Take a plane, I will pick you up and provide shelter. If you beat me Bo3 Bo5's (so, 3 matches), I will pay for your plane ticket within the continental US. If I win, you must bow to me, change your TL signature to praise me, make it your facebook status, and post in every forum you frequent at least 1 thread proclaiming my divinity. Deal?

Deal. I'll start training right away. You'll never know what hit you. Also, what version? Pokemon Puzzle League? Tetris Attack? Panel de Pon?

PPL N64. PPL on GameCube is available also (less lag when dropping huge chains) but the gold standard is PPL on N64 IMO.

Train all you want. I'll be waiting.

What's your place like? Can we get pics? Last time I did something like this, it turned out being kind of awkward.

Ummm it's kinda awkward to ask for pics of my place too, especially since 1. I don't have any and 2. it's so much trouble to take pics, upload, etc. but I'll give you a basic rundown: there are 7 guys living in a 2 story house with 5 bedrooms, I live in my own bedroom, you can sleep in it (alone), 2 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 flat screen TVs, N64, Xbox, internet, etc. I live in New Brunswick NJ right next to central Rutgers campus - decent amount of things to do and see beyond PPL. Very socially active location. 5 minute walk from the New Brunswick trainstation, so arrivals in Newark would be easiest but JFK airport in NYC is also legitimate. We smoke cigarettes and bud, I drink beer, if that's what you meant by awkward. Otherwise I don't see any issues, it never gets awkward here and we have lots of people coming in and out on a regular basis...

Sorry to be so personal, but last time was really crazy. I don't feel comfortable with drugs, drinking, and prostitution. Like if I come up, then there can't be any of that, sorry. I just don't feel right around it.

Lol... What's wrong with a man enjoying a few beers? It's not like we live in a crackden, it's just a few guys who smoke weed. There's no violence and no tension here. But ultimately, it's up to you. I'm not going to make everyone go straight-edge because you had one bad experience.

EDIT: I mean, simply based on my post history, you can tell that I am a functional addict at worst. I don't break shit, don't yell (sometimes at Fifa maybe haha), don't get angry. Same story for everyone in this house. I'm turning 23 and I work with children!

Sorry,
It's not about being straight edge, it's more about just having a safe environment. Sure people say weed has never hurt them, but it has hurt others. I don't know the medication that everyone is on, and I definitely don't care really. It's easy to get anti psychotics/antidepressants, to get bipolar highs when mixed with weed/alcohol. When the number of mentally sound people are outnumbered by the other, it becomes hard to prove things.

I had two guys trying to pimp me out one night over a fighting game, while a group of other guys cheered them on. There was really nothing I could do, I ended up wrapping up tightly in a blanket, and kept telling him how impressive his drinking skills were.

After he had done 18 shots of vodka, he was passed out on the couch on top of me, where I couldn't move. He was covered in drool, and I was worried if he would survive the night.

Really sorry. I just don't feel comfortable with this. One time is enough for me.

Woah, this blog just took a dark turn. Well, that's one less challenger for TL Puzzle League Champion. I hope at some point to have the means and skill to challenge the title myself, at which time I will PM you, Jealous.

Side note: wouldn't it be cool if there were official TL Champions for various video games? I mean presumably winner of TSL is the TL SC2 Champion, but where's my Street Fighter x Tekken TL Champion? Or even TL Random Monobattles Champion?

I know I can get money for a cash tourney, but it would have to be online. I mean we could do it over skype or something, but I'm sure since most of the people who still play puzzle fighter are older, we all prob have jobs, and are willing to put up money for entry fees.

I used to know a guy who would make $800 a night from this tetris like site.

Rofl damn dude. Obviously I have to say that none of us are like that, but I'm sure that's what those people would say too so I understand your trepidation. Just want to put it out there that we don't pimp anyone out and we don't do shit like that LOL. We are just regular people with regular jobs/academic careers and no one here is on any anti-depressants or whatnot haha.
