Jon Perez is a DJ (?) at Matthew Bar & Grill and he is the host of the event. You should probably ask him about specifics. I don't know anything about entry fees or prizes yet.

I can Double-L Cancel (pressing both L buttons at the same time) Falcon Lombardi's lasers, so I really doubt you could beat me.

i was going to try to go all mario in PM but I think I'm going to pick up Roy for a few matchups for a little range
Would have gone to this if known ahead of time ...
I shall scrub you down!
My Bowser is top notch, even when I'm drunk.
Fox for sure.

Sweet. We can make it happen next time I go to a tournament in Alabama. ETA of probably 2-3 months.

Let it be known, I am free...
Not too much to brag about, but I got second at a small charity PM tournament at Summer Games Done Quick. Most of the big names skipped out on PM in favor of Melee, but I feel like I scraped some wins off some people I wasn't expecting to beat and did much better than expected. I dropped out of Melee after getting 2nd in my pool just to not have to spend the next two+ hours consumed in more Smash, but I feel like I'm at least pretty decent at that game now.
It's still surprising when people tell me I'm good or fun to play, especially when I feel like they're above my level.

so maybe this is just me being dumb, but after so many years of playing melee and project M it just now registered with me that I can use Up to jump cancel my grabs instead of X. and instead of perfecting the timing of pressing X, Z, i can just smash up and Z at the same time which is wayyyy easier. i'd never had it explain to me this way.. this has opened up new technical possibilities for me because JC grabs is something I could never quite master

Related, though you've probably already seen this on my Facebook wall:
So this whole time (~9 years), I thought that you could only airdodge in eight directions, but in playing around with it today, I found out that it's actually 16 directions, and that East-South-East and West-South-West gives you more distance than South-West and South-East.
I always wondered why I could almost never get the max distance. This whole time I thought I was bad at timing when it turns out I was just ignorant of the mechanics. Wowww.

yeah I didn't know that either. I'm not good at precisely moving the stick in a certain direction, maybe I should practice that

No, no recorded PM matches. They streamed the finals for Melee after the marathon was over, though. Funnily enough, the top 2 were KirkQ (the only person to take sets from me in PM) and Mundungu (the only one I lost to in Melee pools). They're on a different level in Melee, though. I'm just not that good.@

I feel you. It's been too long since I've gone up to Huntsville for smash.

fighting sonic players on netplay has to date been the first instances of me not having fun in project M :-/

Video games are never fun.
Sonic, Diddy, and Peach tend to be infuriating online, in my brief experience.
Peach on netplay is a ****ing nightmare.

so how are you supposed to fight ivysaur. it seems like she doesn't ever have to approach or shield and she's good on all stages
Outside of N-Air and landing aerials in general, her moveset is pretty susceptible to spotdodges.
You can clank with Razor Leaf via a shuffled aerial or pretty much anything, really. Mix in dashdancing to mask when you're clanking it and it will be largely ineffective.
If your character has a projectile, you can force her to come to you. Ivysaur B-Air clanks with many of the weak ones, but she doesn't get anything from it and she's generally bad at spacing around them.
If she grabs you, throw -> Up-B is a 50/50, but you have to DI straight left/right instead of up-left/up-right.
I feel that her greatest limitation is that while her individual options are generally very good, her mobility options are pretty limited, so you never have to worry about her shuffling a quick aerial from a runjump. You know where she's gonna swing, so it's all about responding appropriately from there instead of having to respect a lot of space that characters often control via dashdancing.
