The Right Controller

This tournament is dedicated to TRC—since he's leaving us—and also, to all of those who have either lost, or left a tournament without the right controller.

Why is it so hard to keep up with your own controller? Mine is able to slide snugly into my pocket, why can't you make yours fit? Why do you take that custom green one with neon blue strobe lights, when you know the one you came with was silver? Or was it black? You can't remember, doesn't matter, though—all is fair game when you suffer from TRC.

*sigh*

I, too, am a victim, as well as a suspect of TheRightController Syndrome. This past weekend at TRC's final tournament, I lost two controllers... but, when I got home, I noticed TRC's was in the cupholder of my car. How do these things happen?! Who put that there?!

Points of Interest:

#1 -- No spectators, space is limited. Don't bring your homies if they're not competing.
#2 -- There will be a door fee of $1! This is to keep the non-playing homie count down, so everyone will be paying.
#3 -- I will be providing drinks and snacks, which people will be able to purchase. Since I'm not trying to make money, they'll be cheap—like a dollar for chips & a drink, or something.
#4 -- TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF!

I, too I'm a victim of the TRC Syndrome, it was a Gray controller without rubber on d-stick and faded in the back. You know its sad day when you can't trust a fellow smash player!

last seen: Beside a TV and a Wii and someones nasty looking sandwich.

P.S: I hate Meta Knight.

I've only been a victim of TRC once, and that was when he took advantage of me I took my friend's controller instead of my own by mistake. Luckily, it was an easy fix.
...What? Surpressed memories? Of course not, what are you talking about?

I'm planning on coming to this. Gotta check my work schedule. If I have work that day, I'm requesting off, screw that.

I've lost like 7 controllers this way. Sometimes I lose them at people's houses who are housing me. Who the hell would steal from the person's house who is doing them that favor? lol

Also, thieves in the smash community need to gtfo :[

At my computer, making you lose The Game
So far, I have used the same controller at every tournament, and I always keep it in one hand. Occasionally, my Pichu doll is in the other hand. Both of them are so important to me that I don't let them go.

Sadly, I can no longer use the controller that has been faithful to me since the first Gamer's Edge tournament that I've been to due to C-stick troubles.



I'm not gonna be able to come to this, as much as I want to. Sorry guys.

Yay told me that Kevin had his changed for him.

Something about hacking smashboards from an alternate IP address through a backdoor, or something.

...

Oh, did I mention he did that from his car, while orbiting Mars, because he modded it so that it can withstand space travel.

Kevin's a pretty cool dude.
