So I'm going to be on vacation in the area in the area when this goes down. Looking forward to getting to know a new scene. Gotta say though, with the event being so close now, shouldn't a schedule be posted?
ughhh I hate 2 stock though. blehhhh
Also this. 2 stock blows. Still coming either way, but 3 stock 8 minute is a much better ruleset.

I'm going for sure!

Forgive me if this sounds silly, but how are Smash 4 stages chosen? Did you just neglect to put the stage striking rules there, or is it some weird format I've never heard of?

YES first tourney I know I can make it to! Not getting a whole lot of practice in for this, but what I have has been effective.

Who am I up against for Sm4sh? (my mains listed above, in order)
I want to face some people online at least sometime before the event, just to "test the waters a bit". (see what I did there?)
