where is the melee jan gigs? :D
I will probably do a Melee at Play N Trade Waterford if they are willing. Gigabits is pretty booked in January. Also there will probably be a Melee Gigs in February.

There is also another smash event that we will be involved in that I will be able to let you all know about soon.

Play N Trade should not have melee tourneys. Their TVs are way too laggy.

Brawl works fine on them though.

Mwarhead, I don't know who convinced you to ban Rainbow Cruise, but that's a perfectly fine stage, and the only people who ever complained about it were noobs.

That stage is legal in Melee, and it's legal in Brawl in almost every other state.

Yeah Rainbow Cruise should be legal.

I don't like the stage at all but there's nothing really wrong with it and it's legal everywhere else.

Imo Jungle Japes should be unbanned too so I can just cp Falco and side b everywhere and spike people into water.

We don't necessarily need to use their TVs, anyways this is a ways out.

We will see how turnout out this weekend is for the 12/13 Gigs Melee.

If it is good I will consider changing the January tourney to Melee.

Even though Melee is a better game, I can't support having a Melee tournament instead of a Brawl tournament. Brawl consistently gets double the turnout of Melee.


But I'd love a Melee tournament, and I'd go either way.

It's ok.

I personally recommend Los Chinitos located across the street in the plaza with Apple Bees. They have a wider selection and are a bit cheaper.

Only problem with Los Chinitos is that they put weird little ham squares in the rice. It's like wtf I ordered rice, not little ham square rice.


There's this one place off Colonial that we always go to. Panda Bistro. That's the best place around.

They don't give you BS little ham squares.

Also Gindler, we should all go there some time. Chinese food is amazing.
