Event - MLG Anaheim 2014 Attention: Shower & Arrive Early

[AlphaZealot]

So this is just a general reminder to please shower each morning and to wear deodorant during MLG Columbus. There are executives from companies like Doritos/Sony/Stride/etc walking around the venue at times and it will help a lot if Smashers aren't thought of as "those smelly kids".

There may be a deodorant patrol doing spray downs if you smell. You are warned.

Please try to wake up early, take a shower, get your hotel roommates up and running, etc. This will also help make sure you arrive on time. Our start times this weekend will be:

Friday:
-If you want a door pass (there are 11 passes left) get there at 10:30AM and see the Registration Problems desk (I believe Deimos will be operating this desk) - make sure you have $35 exactly, and make sure you already have created an MLGpro.com username.
-Normal Check in is between 1:30PM and 5:00PM
-Tournament starts at 5:30PM - do not be late

Saturday:
-BE AT THE VENUE BY 10AM (Warm up is 8-10AM)

Sunday:
-BE AT THE VENUE BY 10AM (Warm up is 8-10AM)

It is very important that you arrive on time to the venue. I will not be holding even a single match for any length of time. I would recommend you organize with your ride/room mates to try to get to the venue an hour early JUST TO BE SAFE.

Also, note that the schedule we have posted is only tentative, I will try to get matches up as quickly as I can so if we can run faster then scheduled we will.

Hahaha this guys is too funny. Anyone who showers and uses deodorant regularly and has been to a tourney knows how inconvenient it is continuously having to avoid "those smelly kids" all day.

thanks for the heads up on the highers ups being there

i'll def dress up abit

 

[dj asakura]

Yea...the whole shower things is actually really important. There are way too many fighting game players (not just Smash players) who don't shower and wear dirty clothes. It happens at locals too. Its gross.

 

[Ussi]

the shower clause is a hidden rule many people just never have common sense for

 

[Solid Jake]

I will hunt you down if you smell

 

[-Crews-]

The showering section alone deserves a sticky all by itself.

 

[iiDEMIGODz]

I've played at locals with around 30 people, where half of them smell. The lack of self-respect and pride for some people is INSANE.

 

[Eddie G]

Yeah it's kind of sad that young adults have to be reminded to shower. xD

Little kids I may understand for being stubborn but people around my age? rofl shower up or I'll roast you in front of everyone.

 

[Dark 3nergy]

if it gets into the 80s here over the weekend, and you dont shower

PEOPLE WILL KNOW TRUST ME

 

[Solid Jake]

Old Spice is a sponsor last I checked. They will summon Terry Crews to building kick smelly people in the face.

A funny thing about him is that I, Dillon Cullin-Crews (hence the brawl name Crews) am related to Terry Crews. Just thought you all should know how sweet I am haha.

 

[Solid Jake]

That is not fair. I'm jealous!

 

[AllyKnight]

It only bothers me when I'm within 12 inches of someone that they havent showered and I can tell.

The other thing is...farts...stinky, wet, disgusting farts. There, I said it.

PLEASE TAKE SOME BEAN-O AND THERE WILL BE NO GAS.

*eh-hem...* *disappears*

Take no offense to this, if you can't control you're natural occurences, that's fine, but for god's sake if you stink real bad and know it, I'm sure you can find a bathroom between matches... It's a good idea to wash your face between matches anyways and freshen up if you're hot and sweaty.

 

[Dark 3nergy]

welp your screwed if you play a wario

sry about that LOL

 

[Krystedez]

Ironically, I didn't even take notice to that.

If I'm Wario, I have a right to fart. Everyone else, no. Just no.

*imagines D3 farting..or ZSS farting...*

oh god...

 

[Dark 3nergy]

Just your photo ID and teambuilder confirmation sheet as well to be safe.

Where do we get this teambuilder confirmation sheet?

I'm not sure if it's actually a requirement, but I'm bringing it with me along with my photo ID just to be on the safe side.

 

[Krystedez]

Yea it says closed, I know I registered, my name is on the very top of the page for attendance, and I think the only form necessary is the consent form for minors. Not sure tho.

I'll bring my ID of course...

Oh yeah I forgot they closed the teambuilder. Yeah you should be fine with your photo ID though. I think they ask to see it to make sure your name corresponds with what they already have in their system.

I probably found this thread a lot funnier than it really ought to be. The fact that you basically have to beg some people to do basic hygienic practices is just plain sad.

 

[SFA Smiley]

It's embarrassing that there is a reminder for basic hygenics =/

Gamers, man...

Which is why despite gaming becoming mainstream in the past decade hardly anyone wants to openly claim that they are one. Cracked's article on this subject is true on so many levels.

Check Yourself.

I used to think smelly Smashers was just something to poke fun at until I read this

Now I see it as pitiful
