Since ssb64 came out and now melee that's like 8 years more-less.
.......later
EDIT after reading HDL's post below this one:
If you put it that way, I was a 64 noob who whooped Gamemaniac.
And I started playing adavanced since last september(on melee only)

A better question would be: how long have you been playing it competitively (applying advanced techniques and such). Years of casual play generally amount to a very short period of time competitively. I’ve heard so many times people say “I used to be so awesome with Ness in SSB64!” Only they really weren’t because they had no clue how to z-cancel or what SBJ was.

... I don't have words to speak today... Too many "Grandmas" around...
I don't need adoption Doji, I have both my mom and dad.(I know you're joking).
Oh crap... I'm rushing way too much to learn and master advanced techs, but I'm not taking things the way they should, that DjC is good, if mixed with some other stuff, but I fail using Up Smash instead of DjC to PK Headbutt... Rush..
Well, the tournament is up soon, Yuca should be bringing the Map soon too.
Anyways, where can I get a list of the banned stages, extra rules and tourney speed(how much time does it take to finish a round)?
Well, that's all, and stop those Grandma jokes.(Even though they're funny.)

Hello everyone,
Sorry that i haven't been able to post info in a while. We have many sites to keep track of, and finally i got a chance to update you Smash Gamers at the smash forums PR Thread.
We have only recently been able to finalize rules for our games since, we have a very large gamer roster, with over 25 game competitions, so it takes time before we have the precise details in check. Nevertheless, i can point up some additional info for you with regards to smash.
For smash brothers, you can expect the MLG Rules to be in effect, with some SLIGHT variations to allow more time and chances for players, such as double elimination use and higher stock numbers. We play with No Items at the Video X Games, since we believe in eliminating any randomness and leave the game up to pure fighting skill.
Smash brother's is our second largest game (on averag 60 signups), meaning it gets the second biggest prize for Video X Games. Expect a prize value of $1000 for taking first place, with second and third earning about $300 and $100 respectively.
Of course, we realise that tournaments in the US attract many gamers form the Caribbean. However, we position ourselves for those of you looking for a more affordable, closer competition with a smaller contestant base, meaning a better chance for you to win the prize, which is fairly decent. In some cases, the cost to TRAVEL to the US alone might be your entire costs for the Video X Games, whcih is something some gamers consider. I guess that is the biggest incentive i can point out for those of you who are wondering whether to go to the US to compete or to St. Maarten, just 30 miutes away by plane.
Lastly, check out our game page, where the rules are being posted each day for the games: www.vxg2k6.com/officialgamelist.htm. Click on your game of choice for more info.
Hope this clarifies more, and again, if you guys need any more info, don't hesitate to contact us.
A lot of our information is distruted personally through our partners, and only official information is placed on our site. However, if you need any up to the minute info, you can always email info@vxg2k6.com and you'll receive a reply within a metter of hours.

Just about everyone here knows of OC2 and has had time to think about it. You need to understand that most people in our community do not work and their parents also are in bad shape. Firstly most jobs here offer only minimum wage. Secondly because of the way shipping to and from to the states works over here, things are priced high over here, meaning the economy does not match people’s salaries. On top of this, thanks to the states and PR’s crappy government, there is a decline right now financially and it’ll be especially hard for average university students to find a job and save enough to make it to a tournament thousands of miles away. Did I mention that thousands of people here that work for the governement have lost their jobs? They’ll be desparately looking for work, making it tougher for lil ’o us. Many people here would like to go to OC2 but it just doesn’t seem doable.
And of course, PR’s skill is not known to people in the states and therefore we must “suck” so hard so players like Ken have no business with us right because we’re not worth it (not suspecting Ken’s intentions, just saying what I think is most likely true as far as the way people in the states think of us)? Now that I think of it, it didn’t really matter when it came to Japan. Even though people in the states saw their videos and thought they sucked, they wound up arranging to play with Japan anyway, huh?
Sounds like big fat hypocrisy to me. From what I’ve seen regarding most people’s thoughts on PR, we’re just not worth it because obviously they have played us to know whether we suck or not.
So the point is, thanks manacloud for taking the time out to look into possible PR players, but money is a big factor, and people wouldn’t dare take the time out to visit us like they did with other parts of the world, nevermind that we’re fucing next door to Florida and it’s not that expensive for people on the EC to travel here. It seems like we’re just going to be stuck in our own little sucky PR world until the next Smash.
Edit: Oh yes that’s another factor. There are also acclaimed tournaments being held in an island that’s actually nearby. Many of us here are also interested in that and still cannot determine whether we can go due to money. Although the chances of us going to that are still much greater than going to Cali. I can guarantee that most people here would rather go to that because of the cost and convenience even though Ken or Chu or other known players won’t be there.

This si exactly why the Video X Games was created: to offer the same level of competition you can find abroad in a place that is close to everyone in the Caribbean.
You see, its no coincidense that St. Maarten was chosen as the ideal place to host our competition. First of all, there are little or no VISA restrictions for people travelling here. Secondly, no one is more than an hour away from St. Maarten in the Caribbean. St. Maarten is pretty inexpensive, especially in the off-season, whcih is when our competition is held.
All in all, we just want to provide a place for everyone to compete at a high level with good rewards against people from around the Caribbean and the world. We are non profit, and strive to put all your registration fees back into making your stay on St. Maarten as good as possible, which is why for $65 registration, you get breakfast and lunch for all the days, plus transportation everywhere, your badges, t-shirts, other sponsored goodies in one package.
We even send our champions to those big competitions that they wanted to go to in the first place, such as our Halo 2 Champion, who became one of the best European players of halo after we sent him to europe to compete in the Halo championships of France. Tis year, the winners of Need for Speed, Pro Evolution Soccer and Soul Calibur 3 will be given ALL EXPENSE PAID trips to Guadeloupe to compete at their Gigagames, another very big Caribbean tourament (www.gigagames.org). As the year's pass, we aim to make every champion for every game, including smash, earn a trip to another tournament, stimulating interaction among caribbean gamers. We would love to send out champion of smash to the next Rum and Smash tournament, for example, seeing that it was such a hit in Puerto Rico. Of course, if you are from PR, then that won't be much, but imagine someone from Trinidad being overjoyed to win a prize to travel again, all expense paid, to compete in puerto rico!
We would never discourage anyone who really wants to go to tournaments like OC2, but some of you might consider guaging your skills at a regional level before competing internationally. Also, regional championship in your trophy case would make it easier for you to attract sponsors when you are ready to move internationally. I strongly recommend people consider caribbean tournaments before venturing out into international tournaments, but thats just a recommendation.
If we can conitnue to get the kind of support from gamers we have been getting, the competitive industry in the caribbean will develp quite rapidly. All we need in order to hold more competition to rival the Evo's and the EC's and the CPL's would be sponsors. And the sponsors just want to see a massive number of gamers. Personally, i see professional gaming (players who live off of the prize money from competitions and endorsements of sponsors) in the Caribbean kickstarting within the next 3 to 4 years, with our internet connections improving and airline prices going down.
Well, those are just my two cents

So far map is being edited but for west players the pick up point is very clearly at plaza del sol ... dont think u guyz will get lost... ill pick u guyz there... all i need is to someone call me a few mins before getting there ... iite peace
Although the prices to travel from Florida to Puerto Rico are high, they are nothing compared to the prices in states in the west like California. Right now, the highest ticket price is $300 a person for a 3 week trip from Orlando to San Juan. Its costs almost 3 times more to go from California to Japan. Just saying.Lord HDL said:

Despues que envio el post..>_>U ahora se va a ver bien spam...
Haha. vxg you make some good points, except for one thing. There’s no way there will be the same type of competition at VXG as there will be at OC2. The tops of the U.S. are in the stars right now, and much of the rest of the world is still trying to break out of the atmosphere. But I have no doubt there will be some good players there. The thing is, though, that Smash is VERY different at high leveled play than other fighters, and that’s not only because of the unique game engine. It has to do with how people progress. It’s generally easier to improve and play at an advanced level in other fighters than it is in Smash. Smash takes a LOT more practice. I’m not trying to force thoughts into your head, but I hope you take my word for it.
Wipe, no wonder it’s $300. You checked 3 weeks. Last time I checked a ticket to Florida from here it was like $60-$100, lol. That was for a little less than a week (enough time for a tournament). It also depends on the month you chose. Summer months are usually the highest priced ones.
Zero FX, I noticed that too. Tis funny.
