Yo, your Samus was so fun. I was playing around as her a bit. I run against my friends peach and just ruin peach's floaty approach. All inspired by that Z-air.

Noodles you're a greedy bastage. xD Wanna MK ditto MM? =D

joking of course.

"Winners of doubles will receive a 80$ Best Buy gift card. " - I'd assume that means a 80 for you both to split somehow. >_> Or a 40 each?

Also, Croog. Be prepared for the broilers new uses. =]

I'll talk to the head of APSA tomorrow/today and find out. I'll try to make it 2x 40$ gift cards, because that would seems to be the easiest way to do things.

***********************UPDATE************************************
So, just so everyone knows we have approximately 40-ish people reserved so far. I think like 30+ signed up on the facebook event thing, and we have quite a few people from here. So I'm going to estimate around 50-60 total depending on weather.

Speaking on the topic of weather, the forecast is calling for snow on thie Sunday. So just be prepared to have to leave early if the snow starts in the morning. Unlike most Smash Sundays where we are really lax on times, we want everyone there and registered by 12 to 12:30 ish.

We will most likely be running doubles first. Also you can stay as pretty much as long as you want. We have this place booked from noon until midnight. Seeing as there should be quite a few kids that live on campus that gives us plenty of time for casuals and possibly money matches B4 and after the tourney .

I can't wait to see you all there. My goal this time around is to beat Icy and Noodles. You 2 are going down by my hands (hopefully). See you all there :)

Finally, there will be good competition coming to this school.

Roberto and I have been training together, and will be doing doubles together as well. Let's see if I can't win my second APSA tournament in a row.

I'm so excited to meet more people from the community.

Look for #131, say hi if you see me.

Well Nick, we'll see how you do. There's been some decent comp at the school, you just never come play with us. We play all the time (too much actually) Best of luck to you though, Roberto said you were pretty good. We'll see how you do :D
