I can bring my cube + melee (if I can go).

My parents are paranoid and want to make sure that this is legit (stupid, I know).
I'm probably going to get ***** though.
w00t this is gonna be epic

yeah i was the kid with the elmo cube at the last NCB

at the least, i'll bring a melee disc. mine is kinda skuffed up though.

im trying to get my laptop set up to record, and if i do i'm going to bring it with splitters [although i'm guessing you'll be recording, zhu?
Yeah I'll be recording. I'll have better quality vids this time, I figured out why my vids on youtube turned out so ****ty.

i'm <3 this topic so far b/c of the random norcal ppl posting

i might ditch my friend's bday party for this lol.

but if so i'll be going late just for singles.

edit: zhu, are you going to start singles @ around 4pm or whenever doubles starts? b/c i would be thankful for a definite start time. regardless im going to join just singles, so if im a little late, sign me up anyways.

ill call you when im on the way just incase to remind you.

Sounds good.

I'm also glad this bringing people out. Norcal stepping it up for Melee community. After dinners are the best, everyone should stay and make it.

Haha you should come. You just got tons of money from WCSL didnt you?!
and that money was the only way i was able to buy christmas presents for my family :laugh:

in other words, it's already all gone
but since alan's rich if he pays for gas we're there, and that means 2 more setups

btw what format should i record in to upload to youtube?

So does anyone from the bay area need/want a ride?

I'll also shamelessly take this opportunity to ask if anyone wants to play smash on Friday?

Do you think you could give me & a few others a ride? :)
Yes. Would it be the same people as last time?


If you haven't figured it out already, I was being sarcastic about the uncompressed AVI. Anyway, if you're desperated to get it to work on youtube, the safest format is probably MPEG4, but those are rather big.

recording uncompressed is the best way to ensure quality, no skips, and sound sync if you don't have a beastly processor

but yes, individual videos can be like 10 GB

when taking barlw vids (gross) off my wii, I record uncompressed, then compress it later since I can afford to do it one at a time

Doubles will start at 12 and singles at 3 (or sooner / an hour after doubles finishes (for lunch)). I have something to do tomorrow night so I want to finish this tourny asap so please get here on time, I don't want to kick people out =/

And money matches anyone, last chance I'll get to play Norcal before I go back =(
