Hah, I'll be there for sure, but I can't decide whether to use Marth (that is, if they have him unlocked) since he was my main in Melee and I'm used to him, or Pit, who looks amazing and I plan to main in Brawl but I have zero practice with =\

Oh awesome my gamestop is having one. I'm definitely signing up for that. I don't think any competative smash players live in my area. There are some great players in Colorado but as far as I know they are mostly from Denver/Aurora area.

Hey, cool, a Gamestop near me is doing one. I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy, but I think I'll look into attending this tournament myself. 'Twould be a fun way to get the game.

Same. I want to try out Sonic or ZSS so bad, but I think I should stick with one of my mains from before- I actually want to win :)

The one near me is doing is about the size of my room. But this is exciting!

Have they posted any rules/prizes/times???

I'm going to try to convince my parents to let me. It will be my first time playing the game, so it will be button mashing all the way with the best characters I can find. I'm also glad I can final get to a tourney in my city, I always miss them or they never offer them.

Isn't it for people 18 and older only?

I'm definitely going to enter. It seems every GameStop I have ever been to is participating. The best part is it says no purchase required to enter or win, since I'm getting my Brawl from somewhere else.

What are the rules?
What time does it start?
What are the smaller prizes?
What are the controller options?
Last time I called(Which was last week.) I was told the first 30 people that get to the store on time and have had the game pre-ordered can only be in the tournament.

They probably changed it, according to the site, but this was just a local Gamestop(Escondido, CA), the rules could be different at all locations.

I might as well try calling again I guess, to get more info. :p

NICE!

Sadly I just called and the guy I talk to wasn't really sure it was going to happen

IE he didn't know anything so who know what the rules are going to be...Most likly they are going to be free for all 4 man with items. Which I think we all know isn't really a good tournament.

It's called "camp out until there's only one noob left."

Sweet! There is one in Michigan. I can't wait to start playing as olimar. I called and the employee told me it starts around nine till midnight for anyone wondering. I hope there are some skilled players. Even though I'd probably lose I'd learn how to play just a tiny bit better.

confirmed. Sending supplies.
**** YES! A tourney I can actually attend! Also, prizes for winners of each round? Sweet, hopefully I'll score some SWAG. The GameStop I reserved it as is 10 minutes away, so I'm set. =D =D =D

Odd. I called the Gamestop I reserved my copy from about two weeks ago and they said they were going to have the tournament. Now I go and look at the list for the store, and apparently, it has the other Gamestop (that I didn't reserve from) on there but not the one that I did reserve from (which said they were going to have a tournament). I'll have to call them tonight and see what they say... though, most likely the list might just be missing it (I hope so).

Anyone that's going to the Cleveland Heights tournament... watch out for the tag SMK. :p

This is Awesome! I was I could play the copy I own then I'd have a ton of practice. I have played it a couple of times so I guess I'll have more experience than everyone in who'd show up.

I remember the manger at my Game Stop telling me that it'd be for Melee as well. I hope not I haven't played Melee in ages tho I guess I could still beat the people from my town that'd show up to play.

Don't really plan to get much farther than Districts and that's with high expectations. Should be good times all around.

YES! Every store within my area is holding this tournament and there is only one good smash player in the area that I know of besides myself, now all i have to do is figure out which store he's going to and avoid it and I'll have a good chance of winning :)

If only 1 person out of probably 50k people gets a prize... Not worth the time. Especially if it is FFA timed matches.

If the winner of each store gets a free copy of smash? Then regionals gets something nice? Then it is worth going.

I'm especially surprised that because Gamestop employees tend to be quite ignorant and never know what's going on...good find
Yes, I actually asked employees at 2 of my local gamestops if they were doing anything special in the store for the brawl release, one of them said there would be a midnight release, the other said they weren't doing anything, yet both are on the list of tournament sites.
