The room will have a waitress assigned to it for the entirety of the tournament. Order any food or drinks from the server rather than walking out to the bar area.

I'm planning on going, but will anyone be playing melee or Pm here? I just started playing it on a competitive level (I'm still trash that can't SHFFL yet though) and I'd like to find people better than me to play with. I have friends who are learning but they have less tech skill than me and I'm pretty sure everything goes faster if there's someone who's good at the game.
(NVM mind I can SHFFL now, I'm still trash though).

No this is a Smash 4 tournament, there are tons of Melee and PM stuff all over NEOH though!

I know it's a Smash 4 tournament and I intend to compete in Smash 4, I was just wondering if there were going to be any Melee players there that I could have friendlies with afterwards. Right now I don't have anyone I can play it with since I have trouble with netplaying on games that aren't Smash 4. I'm in the NEOH facebook group, I had found this tournament before then (hence my comment) so I decided to focus on Smash 4 until afterwards so I haven't really checked it out all that much yet. Thanks though.

I guess I'll be available if PM friendlies can occur. Though I'm not certain I'll be at the event.

Pumped for this one. The first was a great time and I can only imagine it's gotten even better

How'd everything go? I couldn't go because my parents don't trust me driving to Akron or being in a city by myself and it's just such a hassle to go to a videogame tournament. Instead I've been on Xenoblade all day and at least it's spectacular. Is there a date for the next one yet, the only tournament near me that I can realistically go to requires you to be 18 to be without a parent so I still have the above problem.
