[Neighbor]

No PM this year? lol

 

[bschung]

No PM this year? lol

Sorry! This year it's only a 1-day event, not a 2-day event, so we had to cut down on the number of games.

 

[kenii28]

any friendlies?
i'm not too good at the game but i wanna learn!

 

[The Revolutionary Cafe]

Was my first real Smash tourney when I went last year definitely wanna go to this one! Though it is ironic that last year I went for PM and PM isn't even an event there tis a sad day...

 

[Jon_14]

This seems like an interesting tournament. I'll keep an eye on this and see if I can make it up for it.

 

[bschung]

any friendlies?
i'm not too good at the game but i wanna learn!

Yes!

 

[kenii28]

so friendlies without the $10? :D
just in case i get destroyed

 

[Omega_Knight]

Do I have to sign up before hand or can I just show up?

 

[Vicdurr]

Can I bring my setup and play PM anyway, or is that rude?

 

[The Revolutionary Cafe]

Can I bring my setup and play PM anyway, or is that rude?

Please do.

 

[CommanderPepper]

John Choi will be there? That's really cool.

 

[EpicCupcakez]

Can we get times of events and stuff?!

 

[bschung]

Yes again!

Do I have to sign up before hand or can I just show up?

Registration is on-site. Be sure to be there early.

John Choi will be there? That's really cool.

Yes, this is pretty special. Last year we had Seth Killian interview Alex Valle, and the year before that we had Seth interview Daigo Umehara.

Can we get times of events and stuff?!

[kenii28]

will there be friendlies with the start of the wii u brackets? or do we have to wait until 8 pm for the friendlies?
or is it like the other tournaments i watch like there's one wii u for the bracket and all the other consoles that aren't used are for friendlies?

[icculus9]

I will hopefully be able to attend but I have a couple questions. What time will this end? Also, can I use a nunchuk/wii remote for smash 4 if I bring it? And finally, what time should i get there to guarantee a spot? Thank you!
