If you are interested in playing in the meantime, We have Melee and Project M weeklies every friday at Carnegie Mellon University. (PM is biweekly). A few of us can still play brawl too if that is more of your thing.

Fixed an error in the Pre-Reg form that didn't save the Gamertag question. Its all good to go now. If you were someone who pre-regged before the gamertag field was there, let me know if possible. It was only a couple people so itll be an easy fix.

Cool, thanks. I was there about 2-3 weeks ago. I had a great time. I'm super rusty with melee but I plan on eating/sleeping/living smash 4. HYPE. I'll schedule myself off on Fridays here and there to attend.

Only 3 starters? :(

Are all Omegas banned except Omega Dr.Wily's Castle? why is Omega Dr.Wily's Castle so special?

I also don't see anything about what happens in the result of sudden death/a time out. I don't see a Dave's stupid rule either. Is that intentional?

Also for both games, are general anti stalling and gentleman's clause rules just gone now?

With that aside, hype.

DSR is there; ill add it. Omega Wily's is a FD that has walls that allows for more wall jumping and clinging. You could insert any walled FD stage there, I just picked wily's just because. And Yes, timeout clause will be the same as every other game. Stocks, then Percent.

Just realized I should definitely make this. Even if I work tomorrow, it's not until 7:45. How's the turnout looking?
