MANGO?!?!


Ok so since no one likes Mango but everyone has a hard on for Hugs and Hugs has expressed interest I'd assume that means he can come!

Turns out that flying to Australia costs like more than a metcard, so I'm going to need help getting mango here.

So if you're feeling nice and want to give me some money. Gift your money (no tax/fees) through paypal to:

philippretty@gmail.com

or email me on that email for bank details because you don't have a paypal for some reason.

Otherwise I'll happily take donations in person at any smash event, including reloaded. So you have no excuse not to take out your life savings and hand them over.


UPDATE:

Ok so turns out Hugs has a life and plans to have a good career, so he has to study!

Since he is too busy studying (3 mid terms on the same week as BAM) he can't come really.

Hugs likes Mango just as much as me so well it's back to Mango!

Mango does not do anything apart from sandbag and play lol for a living, so he is fine to come to Australia upon our whim.

To make this happen I need more of your money!

Give pls using the above details!



Mango donation Target: $1400

Current donations:
Skeletom: $100
Tak: $100
Cal: $60
Redact: $1050~
Splice: His virginity - Estimated value: $???

i've learnt something from the shadowloo showdown tournaments compared to our own sponsored offerings: they sponsor at least another worthy rival for whoever they sponsor, so the finals don't become a one way street.

if people could somehow muster up sponsorship for two people within manageable means (maybe with assistance from CW), not only would you have a more balanced tournament for the pros and everyone else, you get to watch pros really try at their best and that's awesome to watch. will also get people from overseas watching if you get a livestream and promote the match -- it all depends on who you pick for the ultimate, uncontested grudge match (e.g. someone from the US vs. someone from JP or EU).

just my thoughts. obv. an expensive decision, but i'm sure the support is there.

also, if you haven't done so already, advertise the sponsorship in the international boards to spike interest. i can also make an announcement about it in genesis 2 if you like.

It's probably going to be a mix of all of those for getting people over here. I don't have enough to get even one over here myself atm :x

so... why can't peepee come? i don't even play melee and he's my first preference...

dehf is a boss and he's good at both games.

armada is pretty amazing cause he ***** jigglepuff with young link :D

if you want someone from japan tell me, cause i could probably get in contact with them (bombsoldier?).

otherwise... someone fun who is decent at the game is good enough for me.

SS at his best is the most hype falcon.

Mango would be awesome but finals would still be a sandbag fest if he was here. It'd be awesome to have two really good pros that don't sandbag too bad. I say "too bad" because most pros sanbag occasionally lol.

49th OC2
49th genesis

yea boiiiiiiii

... i probably won't make it out of pools this time (for genesis 2). assuming i even fly in time for them. mostly going just to hang out and spectate. if you can't beat them, watch them

and yeah, any top 20 player would sandbag aus -- but at least we'd get to see them try if they had a rival... and trust me -- it's amazing to watch irl. i'm willing to donate money i don't even have to see BAM2K11 have this.

darkrain is sexy -- sponsor him

i gave him 3% once. felt so pro

I think if you want a falcon, darkrain would be the best to sponsor cuz he seems like he'd be the most open to traveling and wouldnt be a douche to people and drop water on shaya's controller. And he is always a beast in game, he wouldn't sandbag anybody and even if he did it'd still look insanely sexy.

I'm not that interested in players that don't play a fastfaller apart from armada. Like I'm planning to get 2 players, one of them mostly funded by myself, other by community.

So its like ss/darkrain/jman/mango/hax + community vote

RE: Expense

Most Expensive to Least Expensive

1. Europe
2. USA
3. Japan

That being said I don't think I would be too hyped about any of the Japanese players.

I would vote for

USA - Axe (he is young though I think like 18/19? so that may be in issue)

Alts: Hax, S2J, Kage

Europe - Armada

Alts - Jeapie

where is jman from? axe is from west coast, so he'll be more affordable to get over.
