And the countdown begins. Hype!

 

[Rolton Cussell]

Just bought my ticket. Good luck to everyone going, lets make this huge.

 

[GoldMegaman]

Mango and Hax confirmed they are coming in the facebook event page. This is probably going to be the best Whobo to date.

 

[Espy Rose]

Nothing can beat WHOBO2.

 

[DrMcNugget]

[smashmachine]

i heard Chibo is streaming the entire event on mlg.tv

wait will the rules be changed back to banning MK now that Brawl's not on MLG?

i dont think so. i think the rules will stay the same just cause of how long its been promoted and it will be way to late to change the rules now. me personally i cant wait to see the reveal trailer to the new championship series. thats going to be awesome and what im looking forward to.

 

[Doctor Pink]

I live in the greater Houston Area, and I just need a ride and I will be there for Project M and maybe Smash 64. I have no setup that I can bring, but I have a Gamcecube controller. I definitely plan to enter Project M.

 

[FightAdamantEevee]

I think I should be going to this if everything works out right, anyone want to team with a rusty Lucas?

 

[Xyro77]

Fae, train your ****. I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!

Where exactly do you live?

 

[Doctor Pink]

I live in Websterit is part of the Clear Lake area. I am not really locally known for Smash, but I am relatively known for UMvC3 and SF4. People call me "Cookie".

 

[aspirin cookie]

What if I show up for Top 8 just to spectate , and y'all aren't at full capacity , would that still be the same fee as registering ?

[AthensHorseParty]

Anybody want a doubles partner for 64? I've got a full set up and two decent controllers so you wouldn't have to bring anything. I'm a Kirby main if that matters.

 

[Xyro77]

Online reg ends in 5 days.

But you can still reg in person.

I preregistered on the 15th and the payment went through but I can't find my email to print it out. Is there any way I can get another one sent to me?

 

[Xyro77]

@ Airbrush_King help him^ out?

 

[Airbrush_King]

At the door venue fee is one time only for both days right? How are you guys keeping track of people who have paid the fee the first day?

Different color wristbands will be used for spectators. A different color for each day.

I preregistered on the 15th and the payment went through but I can't find my email to print it out. Is there any way I can get another one sent to me?

If you used paypal my suggestion is to contact them and see if they can send you another one and ask them for the email that was attached to the transaction. Dont know if this works on paypal but for other websites you can do a forgot username and it will reveal your email. From there you can log into your paypal account and print out the receipt.

 

[DrinkingFood]

@ Airbrush_King I was referring to tournament participants who pay at the door. We can do that right? Would we just have to buy a wrist band each day for 20$?

Also, since I take it you guys didn't reach your max of 200 registrations online, are you going to turn away people that show up at the door once you've reached that limit of 200? That'd really suck for people that are going to be driving 5+ hours to compete... like ya'know, my group and I.

What other way was there besides paypal? I recovered my paypal email but the receipt isn't there either.

 

[Gooz]

@ Xyro77
I am now able to bring a full set up and would like to do so. Am I still able to get some of those benefits that come along with that? Either way I am, but I am just curious.

Edit:
Nevermind I see it now

 

[smashmachine]

so now that pre-registration is over, how many did we get for each game?

 

[GOL | 482 | JSalt]

So I'm making this super last-minute decision to go, but I need to know this: Since there's the entrants cap, how big is the chance of me not being able to enter if it reaches the cap?
Also, anyone wanna team? Wario in Brawl, Sheik in Melee/PM.

 

[Espy Rose]

You wanna team for PM JNig? I need a partner.

 

[GOL | 482 | JSalt]

Sure Espy, let's do it!

 

[Espy Rose]

Thanks man. <3
