TokyoGameAction is going to have brawl tourney rankings. They decided to add it to there bi-monthly tourneys they have. I am the host so you don't have to wry about there being problems with the rules.

It's just singles for now if there is enough people we will have a teams tourney also.

I will be having a EVO rules tourney on the side for free but if there is enough interest then I will add a entry fee of $2. I would like to hear the opinion of people on these rules.


If there are any spectators going with you it is mandatory that they also pay the venue fee.

Here's the flier made by glory a SRK member. Good **** man!

Venue fee details:
*******$20 Flat rate ********<------ Now i know i've said we'd lower the prices on the entrance fee BUT..... as some of you guys all know Andy is a very promising guy. SFIV is coming out soon and there is no doubt in Andy's mind that he'll pass on getting a kit. Support him, and he'll give you guys what you deserve . WHO WANTS STREET FIGHTER IV?!?!?!?

-The Flat rate charge will let you play for FREE the ENTIRE night, including the tournament and casual matches later on. This way people can have a lot more matches in and be able to enter every tournament without worry about expenses (except the entry fee).

-All the flat rate money made from these ranbats will be put towards: paying off and buying more cabinets+games and keep these cabinets in the BEST condition they can be in.

I understand that the venue fee is expensive but I am trying to get people to show up to this place because the owner deserves the business and if we have enough people to show up the we might be able to lower the venue fee in the near future.

Just so everybody knows you only have to pay the $20 venue fee!

2 weeks left I can't wait!

If anybody has a camcorder or something to record matches that would be great because I want to record both SWF rules and EVO rules matches. If anybody can help that would be great.

I might hit this instead of the Milford tourney. All depends on my car situation and whether or not I have a ride available(wonders how many people are going with Gonz).

sorry man but my car is gonna be full
It's understandable. I figured your crew would be going. And you've indicated that you're all big into fighting games so I didn't really expect an open seat. Just was taking the off chance. And it turns out that day has alternate plans.

So there's a good chance I won't be able to hit this anyway. Even if my car makes it outta the shop in time.

Wait... I think I am an idiot... So its 20$ no matter what? Or could I go and just pay $5 for only brawl? Or could I pay like $10 and play brawl tourney and brawl casual? lol

20$ might/is too steep for me at the moment. Could I watch?

its simple, $20 dollars and since the machines are on free play you can play casuals all nigth. Its defenatly a good deal since TGA's Ranbats are for figthing games. Thats why smashers should play everything, instead of "just" smash .

This is a message to all

The owner is a very trusting man and being that way he has been screwed over so many times that he won't make any exceptions anymore. I have asked every single time and he just doesn't budge he used to be ok with you just paying for the smash tourney but again he has been ****ed over way too much.

I will try to see if I could change his mind for the next time. I will not give up!!
