Alabama Thread! (10/26/2016 update)

[Zylo]

Alright guys, so us folks at UA just put on our first melee tournament and had 18 people enter. We kept it local because none of us had TO'd before, but for our next one we're going to add PM and make it open to everyone. It'll be on smashboards on a few weeks, so I hope to see you guys there.

 

[Metmetm3t]

That's what's up Zylo. Just try not to cross dates with our other shindigs and I'll see about getting up there. April is already looking slammed.

 

[Majist]

Shannon kinda lives far away now.

Fort Hood, TX to be exact. I'm in the Army now. I don't own a single gaming console anymore. I happened to catch moogle in a recent tournament on youtube and got all nostalgic. When i visit home on leave i'll have to come see you guys.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Someone make this thread active again! Dying to play some skilled smashers

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Hey so, will there be a carpool coming anywhere close to Troy for the Auburn tourney next weekend?

 

[Jake The Preacher]

For those of you who aren't going to AUSOM, there's a small melee/PM tourney fest for a new business in Tuscaloosa on the 29th. So if you don't wanna go to Auburn or you can't or anything, you've got a fallback plan for Tuscaloosa. Check the events tab on the 29th or PM if you want more details

 

[Metmetm3t]

I'm doing what I can to get people back into this thread. We need it.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Well, now that I've found it, I'll promote as much as possible! how's the mobile scene?

 

[Saki-]

Mobile just had a splendid turnout on their latest tournament....so I'd dare to say it's looking pretty great.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Splendid as in 20+? also, Melee as well as PM? I'll definitely make it to your next monthly; when is it?

 

[Metmetm3t]

Our tournament a few weeks ago was 28 for melee 31 for PM

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Good to see that AL is more active than I think, glad I found the community page

 

[Saki-]

Shame you can't come out to Auburn on the 29th~ You'd see ton of activity there.

 

[Zylo]

You should totally go out to Chargercon though

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Dude, I'm actually really thinking about going up there if I can get a ride. Do you know what the turnout will be like?

 

[Zylo]

I actually have no idea. The event page has some 132 people confirmed to be going, so I really have no idea how many people are going to be there for smash.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

That sounds dope. I'm honestly pretty nervous about going to a big local, but I really want to

 

[Zylo]

You absolutely should, even if you get destroyed. It's a great experience either way.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

really hoping to see alabama come out to CEO in full force this coming june. it's absolutely going to be the biggest tournament florida has ever had for melee and pm, guaranteed. we'd be honored to have you all here.

 

[Metmetm3t]

Why does there have to be so much water between Mobile and Orlando.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Does anyone know if I have to pre-register for Auburn this saturday?

 

[Metmetm3t]

Pre-registration is not required. They are only going to use it to put your tag and location into Tio.

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

Okay, cool. Anyone feel free to come up and play friendlies, I main falco and I am currently bad

 

[Saki-]

I'd love some friendlies at the Auburn tournament. I'm probably the worst at PM and ready to drown in pools

 

[OrangeEnvelope]

I'm not good at Pm either lol, I just stick with Falco. So, what's the skill level gonna be like there? I'm slightly terrified and more than excited haha

 

[Metmetm3t]

There will be players of all skill levels. Don't worry, you'll be better than somebody.

AUSOM 10 is live

 

[Bomber7]

THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE FINAL ONE BEFORE I, THE LEGENDARY BOMBER7, THE ONE AND ONLY, STEP DOWN AS A TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER FOREVER! GET YOUR HYPE, BRING YOUR MONEY, THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC! WHEN I'M GONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE AUTOGRAPH OPPORTUNITIES!

BE THERE OR BE SQUA... TRIA...CIR.... RECTANGLE!

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Are there any small to mid size tournaments being planned around the tuscaloosa county area?

 

[Metmetm3t]

Have you been going out to the Hivebang tournaments? Or the ABXY meetings?

 

[Zylo]

There were two melee tournaments that happened a couple weeks ago, but none since then that I know of. Also, a group of us have a carpool for Chargercon tomorrow, but that's a little but farther than tuscaloosa.

 

[Metmetm3t]

Don't be afraid to get in touch with ABXY or Hivebang and ask them to run another. You said you hosted one yourself back in March so hosting another one yourself is of course an option. If you need any help, I would definitely hit you up with some ASL advertising.

As for other tournaments nearby I also know about Get Money Monthlies out in Birmingham

Also this just got posted in the ASL FB group

of course if you are going to ChargerCon it isn't good timing

 

[Jake The Preacher]

I've been going to hivebang, but I'm definitely gonna look at ABXY now, thanks for the suggestions guys

 

[Zylo]

We've started a monthly tournament series with ABXY; however, we won't be able to do it in April because of janky schedules and then everyone is going to leave. But next year it should be a thing.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

That's cool, are they PM or melee?

 

[Zylo]

The first one was melee only because I haven't TO'd before and didn't want to get over extended, but future tournaments will have PM and maybe even 64.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Sweet, thanks man. If you can swing me an invite I'll gladly come out to support and play some. I just wanna know if it's okay before we go because me and my friends are seniors in high school and I saw that ABXY was for the UA students, and I just didn't wanna tick anyone off or anything

 

[Metmetm3t]

I've never heard of a university club turning down players. At Auburn and USA I've invited plenty of outside players and it always goes over well.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Alright, thanks for the advice Dark

 

[Metmetm3t]

plz, call me met
