Aww yeah, get ready for Jango's Mangos.



Lemonade is scrub flavor. Peach is the only true flavor.

Peach loses to mango, man up

 

[Gracen]

My vacation days are limited. Before I register, could anyone confirm if Melee singles pools will be day 1 or day 2.
I searched for this info, but without the Event Schedule, it's difficult to plan ahead.
Thanks in advance.

What are the restrictions on controllers? I normally use a wireless gamecube controller... and it has a macro button, but I don't use macro. Do I need to remove the button entirely? I'm not really comfortable with any other controller, and I don't want to be DQ'd or something

 

[KnitePhox]

AM I READING THIS CORRECTLY?

the tournament starts on THRUSDAY and ends on FRIDAY?

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

AM I READING THIS CORRECTLY?

the tournament starts on THRUSDAY and ends on FRIDAY?

No it starts on Friday and ends on Sunday

Start Date: January 17th, 2014 10:00 am
End Date: January 19th, 2014 10:00 am

[KnitePhox]

I just reserved a room at regular price, the special Apex 2014 Tournament rates are over.

So how exactly is the venue bus accessible? Haven't been able to find anything from NJ transit and it's at least 2 miles from the nearest rail station

We are working to provide transportation to the venue from the rail station.

Any idea when a tentative schedule will be posted?

We are currently working towards a finalized schedule. It should be posted sometime next week.

If I pre-register and later find out I'm not able to attend, would I be able to get a refund?

Refunds typically cease when registration ends.

You're telling me that you cannot register with a PayPal payment?

Contact apex.series@gmail.com with your request.

If we're participating in a tournament, do we need a spectator's pass to watch matches in the same tournament?

No, a player pass functions as a spectator pass as well.

What are the restrictions on controllers? I normally use a wireless gamecube controller... and it has a macro button, but I don't use macro. Do I need to remove the button entirely? I'm not really comfortable with any other controller, and I don't want to be DQ'd or something

Wireless controllers are fine; however, no external modifications are allowed (This includes macro buttons;even default macro buttons on 3rd party controllers.)

My vacation days are limited. Before I register, could anyone confirm if Melee singles pools will be day 1 or day 2. I searched for this info, but without the Event Schedule, it's difficult to plan ahead.

Thanks in advance.

We are still creating the schedule, so no definitive answer can be given. It is recommended you come on day 1 and stay all 3 days.

Peach loses to mango, man up

Yes Judge Joe Brown.

[NamiNami]

Hey. I'm not sure if this has been asked earlier in this thread but is the Apex 2014 special rate for the hotel only during the weekend? How much is the normal price per night if me (and possibly some other guys from Finland) need to stay at the hotel before and/or after the tournament?

Also the only way to book a room is to call the number in the OP?

 

[pidgezero_one]

I booked the hotel for 4 nights and got the discount rate for all of them (Thursday through Sunday). Not sure about prices if you book for longer, but there's that.

 

[ErickErick]

Is Friday a warmup day?

 

[Alex Strife]

I suggest everyone entering singles show up Friday. FYI

 

[Zink Imp]

Actually might be able to make Apex this year. Won't register just yet so I can make sure to clear some things (this is right after Defend the North) but I'm getting a little hyped. Will probably enter Melee and Brawl singles and probably Tekken. If there is a Soul side then I'd be down for that too.

 

[Alex Strife]

Trust me defend the north has NOTHING on what I got in store.

Especailly the stuff with Play-Asia.com!

 

[dashdancedan]

On Apex-Series the schedule says Pokemon Black/White 2 and not X/Y

 

[Grey Belnades]

Is it recommended to purchase my flight now or wait? Last year, I bought my flight during a SW sale for $187. Right now, I can buy my flight for $375. Should I wait to see if I can try my luck again?

Trust me defend the north has NOTHING on what I got in store.

Especailly the stuff with Play-Asia.com!

The call out!

 

[pidgezero_one]

mikeray, mikeneko, mikekirby, and mikehaze should have a 4-man crew battle against 4 other people who also have the same first four letters in their tag

 

[Zink Imp]

Trust me defend the north has NOTHING on what I got in store.

Especailly the stuff with Play-Asia.com!

Of course but I'm going to DTN for a different reason. Hopefully I can see what strings I can pull.

 

[smashmachine]

clearly coming for Pokemon X/Y

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Will the Melee ruleset be up by November 10th?

 

[Strong Badam]

#freeiceclimbers

 

[Nine]

[Alex Strife]

[Europhoria]

So uhhh is Bifuteki streaming any melee this year?

[Death Arcana]

[Alex Strife]

[Gardex]

I find it offensive that there's no Mister Mike
