CASTLE SIEGE STARTER BOYS.

Nom team with me

 

[exJ0RDANary]

Castle Seige as a starter over Lylat is a wonderful choice.

 

[Ori_bro]

I'll be there c:

 

[Icemanx5746]

Castle Siege is better as a starter simply because the game never gets struck to Lylat anyway. Seriously, I can't remember a single set where game 1 was on Lylat.

 

[zyth]

ksev would take you there in brawl

 

[NNOOOBB]

I would come but i already registered for a tourney in Ann Arbor! Tell me if it goes well though

 

[FF WuvS]

That logo is sick.

Grills are pretty legit c;

 

[DarkspineJumer]

So, if we only bring a Gamecube Controller, we have to pay $5?

So, if we only bring a Gamecube Controller, we have to pay $5?

If you are only bringing a gamecube controller you will have to pay the $5 venue fee as well as the $5 entry fee per event. The only way to save $5 is to bring an entire Smash 4 setup which includes a Monitor, WiiU, and Gamecube Controller.

I apologize for my ignorance, since my friend and I are new to the competitive Smash scene, and this is most likely our first tournament, but what is a striking order?

It is a system used to determine the stage played on for game 1 in a set. You take the 5 stages in the starter list and 'strike' 1 you don't want to play on. Then your opponent does the same for 2 stages. Then you choose one last stage to eliminate, leaving one final stage, which you then play on. That's what the 1-2-1 order means.

 

[MiloniVanili]

I am going to try my best to be able to attend, the chances are low though.

 

[Nominate10]

Would love to see some West MI rep if you can come!

 

[Sparky15]

This was the other tournament I heard was occuring in Livonia. Uhhhh... Don't know which one to go: Project Playhem or this... Practically doubt that I can go to both. :/

 

[SolidLiquid]

I'm gonna try and make it! This probably means nothing to any of you, but this will be my first tournament back in the competitive scene since 2008.

 

[exJ0RDANary]

I hope you can make it out Miloni, unfortunately project msu was a rare east MI tourney that didn't feature zinoto, loe1, stewyian, ksev, nom, or Smasher (and a handful of others). I'd love to see how you'd do against some of those guys. Especially Smasher, that seems like a hype set.

Project MSU was definitely central MI. East MI is basically from like the Metro Detroit area.

I do want to see Miloni here, he still has much to prove.

 

[MiloniVanili]

Update: I should in fact be able to make it. i should be there around 1:45 unless circumstances change. i cant wait to play more of you guys, and if zinoto shows up this time maybe i could convince him to teach me a few monkey things that i dont know

 

[Sparky15]

Seems that I can enter both Project Playhem and this tournament! And it's great to see more players. You know what they say, the more the merrier. *insert Eggman spam quote*

 

[ndayday]

never been to a tournament, I gotta eventually make it to something, can't make it to Ori_bro's things on Thursday nights ever though so this could work out maybe :x
man, mannnnnn

 

[MiloniVanili]

last minute schedule change means i cant make it sorry guys, hope to maybe see some of you at equinox i guess

 

[SolidLiquid]

Is it possible to register in advance? There's no way I can make it my 2pm when singles registration ends, but I can easily make it before the bracket begins. I appreciate any response : D

You have to be able to make it for Pools as well.

 

[SolidLiquid]

I looked at the times and stuff wrong. Hope I can make!

 

[Leone Phelps]

I'll be there for singles, hopefully if you have time we can do a random select MM

 

[Nominate10]

See you all tomorrow!

 

[exJ0RDANary]

That's a bummer Miloni, hopefully you can come out sometime soon.
