Smash won't be in Evo

but it's still awesome that Apex is an official Evo tournament. that probably means there will be MAD fgc players at Apex now, since Evo points are up for grabs. get hype!

Alternatively, are any Brawl players driving down from Boston on Friday? I'd probably be okay with missing singles and still getting to spectate stuff if it meant not having to fly.

Wonder if anyone could go about organizing Melee/Brawl side tournaments at EVO. MrWizard (on the EVO announcement podcast) sounded pretty open to side tournaments for any game.

HELP ME :(

Due to problems that have arisen because I am an idiot, I need to find a way to get from Boston at 6:30 am on 1/6 to Rutgers University, NJ by 3 pm-ish. Can anyone help me out?

Relatedly, Continental Airlines offers the two following itineraries on 1/6:

For $352, I can take Flight CO1158 from Boston to New Brunswick.

For $122, I can take Flight CO1158 from Boston to New Brunswick, wait two hours, and then take Flight CO4824 from New Brunswick to Philadelphia.

I'm not sure what's up with this, but is anyone familiar enough with airline travel to say if taking the latter option and ditching in New Brunswick would be a bad idea?
if you check baggage its a really bad idea
otherwise u good

I'M IN NEW JERSEY!!!! I am going with a friend of mine to see NY tomorrow and Thursday and then due to a mixup with my hotel I will be staying in the HOJO on Thursday night instead of the Hyatt but I'm staying in the Hyatt Friday night and Saturday night. I want to play as many people as I can so GET AT ME!!!!! Hit me up at the HOJO on Thursday night and the Hyatt on Friday night and Saturday night!!!!

P.S. - I am not really well known but I am a pretty legit Mario main from the MW. I also play a pretty good Luigi and Olimar. Brawl only btw… Melee is fun I just have not invested any time in it so I SUUUUUUCK at it. BTW I have an SD card with the latest Brawl minus on it so anyone who has a wii and homebrew, we can play some minus.

With the inevitable surge in fgc players now, I am legitimately scared the venue won't be able to hold everyone, let alone have enough setups. The evo thing better not take precedence over smash, unless we're on the circuit now too.


With that out of the way, starting my trip to apex tomorrow! Hyped as hell!

Okay, ignore everything I have said so far. Can anyone offer me a ride from the Newark airport (EWR) at around 11:30am, or a ride from the New Brunswick train station around 12:30pm?

Anyone driving up from PA on Thursday? Rauleen and I have to fly into PA and then take a train to the venue. We arrive in PA at 11:24am. Anyone want to show us around the city/take us? We will just take the metro if not but might as well ask.

I'm concerned with time on Saturday. Apex has essentially an entire Brawl national to run (Take out top 8 and you still have more than every other national) while also doing three other non-smash games and attempting to do an 8v8 crew battle of people who will for certain still be in the tournament until the wee hours of the night.

A side tournament having more entrants than the real tournaments would be pretty **** :awesome:

Mr Wizard said he's open to having Smash Wii U at a future Evo. So, fingers crossed. Hopefully Apex will be a way of showing the FGC that we've matured since Evo 2008.

Train of course ;)
kk, We really want to get a philly cheesesteak though. We get there about 30 mins before you guys so if you wanted to find us we could take the train together. Both Rauleen and I have atomsks number if it's still the same.

I'm driving from central PA to APEX on thursday, but I'm pretty sure going to philly would be going off the main path for me.

You guys staying at the hyatt?
