[Jan 25, 2014] Kumite in Tennessee 2014 - Melee/Project M - Jan 24-26 (Murfreesboro, TN)

[ProtomanVX]

Lol, that's a little out of the way. However, I'd be going through Atlanta or Birmingham to get anywhere by Megabus.

Is it closer to Memphis or Knoxville and is there a possibility of getting a ride from the Megabus station? If it's Knoxville, I'd have to bus through Atlanta or drive.

It's closer to Nashville. It'll be roughly 3 hours from Atlanta.

NINJAEDIT: If you Megabus to Atlanta, I could pick you up at the station. The only downside is I'm coming through Friday evening on account of baby.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

My attendance very much depends on the state of my wallet after APEX.

 

[KOkingpin]

yeah Ill be here to lighten the load against your pocket. My house is open to as many as we can fit.

 

[ProtomanVX]

KO, I'm confirmed to be coming. Got some floor space for your ol' buddy?

 

[KOkingpin]

yes sir i do.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Awesome. I'm stoked to see everyone again.

 

[KiT Vandy]

Our complete schedule has not been finalized, but since a lot of Smash Bros players are pre-registering already (thanks! you guys are awesome) please keep in mind that the Top 4 for both Melee and Project M will be played on Sunday on our main stream.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Just top 4? How many can we expect for Project M Singles?

 

[KiT Vandy]

Just top 4? How many can we expect for Project M Singles?

Yes, the top 4. I am shooting for 50+ entrants for both Smash games.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Awesome. Looking forward to it.

 

[KiT Vandy]

Here it is, a Justice League piece donated by That 8-bit Guy Bead Art. It measures well over a foot square and features nine classic DC heroes. We will do the raffle for it live in mid December. To be eligible to win it, all you have to do is pre register for KiT before we do the drawing.

Be sure to head over to That 8-Bit Guy Bead Art and put in your order you can pick up or have made at KiT. I know I will!

 

[Ogopogo]

My brother wants to know if spectators are also entered into the raffle.

 

[KiT Vandy]

My brother wants to know if spectators are also entered into the raffle.

Good question. Only tournament players will be eligible. In fact, we are not going to sell spectator passes online until after the raffle.

That said, be on the lookout for more announcement on raffle prizes. It looks like the Smash community has the best chance of winning (you guys are awesome).

Does that mean Smash will have the most representatives at KiT? :D

 

[KiT Vandy]

Does that mean Smash will have the most representatives at KiT? :D

Certainly a possibility!

 

[Ogopogo]

Another question: will people with a spectator pass be able to play friendlies?

 

[KiT Vandy]

Another question: will people with a spectator pass be able to play friendlies?

Yes, yes, 100x yes!

Granted it may be more difficult to find casuals on Saturday due to most machines being taken by tournament matches, so be sure to make it on Friday and Sunday. We will also have an open room separate from the tournament rooms for open gaming.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Is Smash gonna have its own stream on Saturday?

 

[KiT Vandy]

Is Smash gonna have its own stream on Saturday?

Smash will share its stream with Persona 4 Arena, but it will have 75% of the time. All of our 4 streams will have multiple games though.

 

[KiT Vandy]

We will start to announce our Friday events tomorrow at our website if you would like to follow along.

There will be something Smash related!

Did I say top 4 will be on Sunday for both Melee and Project M? Sorry, I meant top 8!

 

[ProtomanVX]

Yessss. Top 8 sounds great.

 

[Fatchu]

If I register for some of the tournments now, can I register for some more down the line?

 

[KiT Vandy]

You can register for additional games on the Friday before the event if we have room in the bracket. If you mean add games online during the pre-registration period, we could work something out where you pay for a game individually.

 

[Rob_Gambino]

Is there going to be a melee teams event? If so, how much is the entry?

 

[KOkingpin]

melee doubles is supposed to happen on friday and its gonna be 20 per team as will Project M doubles.

 

[KiT Vandy]

Is there going to be a melee teams event? If so, how much is the entry?

Just announced on www.kitrevival.com as KOkingpin said.

Final scheduling is still being worked on, but expect Melee doubles to start at 5 PM and Project M doubles to start at 8 PM.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Oh man, I might be able to make P:M doubles then!

 

[Mew2King]

I'm interested!

 

[KiT Vandy]

I'm interested!

We'd love to have you!

Programming note: Smash Bros will have its own dedicated stream on Saturday (no longer sharing with Persona). This means pools will be streamed in their entirety on Saturday and as mentioned before Sunday will be Top 8 for both Melee and Project M.

Friday Doubles for both games will also be streamed.

3 days of streamed Smash goodness =)

 

[Ogopogo]

I wanna make sure I have this right... $10 to come and spectate and play friendlies and whatnot, and $30 for coming to play tournament games with $10 per game participated in?

 

[KiT Vandy]

Assuming you pay online, that is correct.

 

[ProtomanVX]

There goes anyone's hopes of winning. Time to pack up, everyone.

 

[Mew2King]

guess u never want to play anyone good. md/va did that too, when i went to a tournament with 40 people, no one entered anything just because i showed up. That's why bad people will always be bad.

 

[ProtomanVX]

I'm just kidding, man. I'd actually love to meet/play with you. I know damn well I'm not gonna win. I'm just coming to see some old friends.

 

[Fatchu]

I'm interested!

Hope you show up sir, look forward to learning a lot from you.

 

[KiT Vandy]

I don't think that will happen. Tennessee has pride in protecting its home turf!

The money is guaranteed no matter how many people enter, so come on out.

 

[KiT Vandy]

[Ogopogo]

I really hope people don't give up just because m2k appears. That's no attitude to have.

 

[ProtomanVX]

Of course not. It's all the more exciting.

 

[KOkingpin]

if Chad can beat M2k in PM I think I got this.

Edit: Shots Fired.
