Just to show how much I care about you guys, I'm gonna right you all a shibby guide about tournaments and how to prepare for them.
Do:
Learn where Tournaments are at in your area
Just use the regional forums to find your state or country's thread. Maybe a tournament will be in your area. If there is, then go to it.
All about the research baybee, all about the research.
In your free time hang around here on Smashboards and learn all about your character (Lucas in this case). Learn your matchups, counterpicks, and ATs and practice before tournament time.
Get rest.
Nany times people go out with friends the night before tournaments, but thee sleep you miss will cost you. I have experienced this first hand. So sleep and eat well before tournament day. Maybe an omelet for breakfast would be good.
EAT.
Eating gives you energy and not having a bad stomach all day. There is always a McDonalds or a Wendys or something around the venue so bring some extra cash for that. Alas, I've experienced not eating during tournaments, and it's a prince not worth playing.
Expect failure.
Unless your a really experienced player like myself, losing is always there. If it's your first tournament, you WILL lose. Always think you CAN win rather than you WILL win. Overconfidence is a killer.
Don't:
Pretty much don't do the exact opposite of what I said above. So don't get crunk, starve yourself, play lvl9s/Melee/Wifi/Brawl+, or be overconfident before a tournament. Other than that, have agood time.
