are we allowed to request that we not be grouped with our teams partner in pools/bracket? (haven't signed up yet, about to)

I've been using a wired xbox 360 pad. easy to map, but it just doesn't quite feel right enough. Mayflash is on the way.

also as far as pools: I was a proponent of pools because I thought some pool members would be eliminated. My thought process being, ok if I have to jump into the bracket and face a pro, I at least want to get a chance to play more matches (with the tradeoff being the risk of not getting into the...

had fun at the tourney, thanks for running it! I got lucky in my match vs vorosh, but I'll take it. one of the most intense final games I've ever played shout-outs: migz for being my teams partner and going to his first tourney copycat for being the first guy to sit down and introduce...

I'd probably be interested... what RR line and when's the next get-together?

anyone in walking/subway distance of center city? I'm an out of practice falcon main looking to get in some matches. I left behind my melee pals when I moved to philly from ohio :/ are there any bi weeklies/monthlies/ anything that go on around here? I made it out to melee all day a while ago...

hm let's see, shout outs: sneaky dave + partner (?), you played emily and I first in teams I believe, it was nice to play another group that didn't get many warmups in. are you guys close to center city? prog: my first first warmup was a falcon ditto with you. our set was somewhat close but...

you can add two more confirmations to this list if you want Afro_Ninja Emily

I'm not even sure this counts as trolling, being such an obvious parody topic. I'm afraid there's really no excuse here.

this is pretty interesting- FC was my first real tourney in 2004, where I actually met "pros" and learned "advanced techniques" walking away from the tourney my friends and I were utterly defeated. how could we compete with wave dashing and edge hogging?!!?!?!

of course it can be true, it just seems unlikely. maybe I'm 100% wrong, maybe mango and players of similar status simply exist on a plane far above anyone else's and they choose to dabble in ours from time to time I'm just saying I'd love to hear it from the players themselves, or as...

I suppose I can't argue with that. it's a dangerous tactic though, if mango decides to make a "comeback" at the wrong time. my comment wasn't just toward mango though, it's something I've always seen in the past. Back in the day if Isai so much as got comboed then he was sandbagging...

The 'sandbagging' comment has always bugged me. I refuse to believe that any pros ever "sandbag" in a tournament. What possible reason is there for it? If they supposedly didn't care about winning the tournament they wouldn't have entered in the first place. They only stand to gain from winning...

awesome, been lookin for some melee action in CC 90% I'll be there have a cube to spare if need be

heh, thanks!
