Colorado Smash - MVG Presents: REVELATION 2 - MIDWEST NATIONAL! MVG QUALIFIER! May 16-17

[Rizen]

Interested but 95% sure I can't :'( . I'm in a hell of a spot right now with money and family stuff.

 

[Sunnysunny]

Any brawl tourneys in state going on?

 

[MegaRobMan]

So is anyone in CO interested in coming out to that tourney? It's looking like it's gonna be a good tourney?

No one has made a smashboards thread for it yet, but there is one on facebook

You gotta go to that event because I'll be there and I'll play Link/Wolf and/or Link/Link ad/or Wolf/Wolf vs you. I've been doing some nasty **** with Link lately.

^It's not that simple . My mom has fibromyalgia with fatigue, brain fog and tons of pain. My grandma's 89 and had to go to the hospital because fluid and blood clots in her lungs. She got out a few days ago but has to be on oxygen 24/7 for at least a while. But the big cylinders she started with were too big to wheel around and she was afraid she'd be forced to move out of independent living in her retirement center. Her social security already falls short her rent, eating her savings, and she simply can't afford assisted living. So she needs to stay independent or leave which would probably mean moving into a 3 bedroom apt with my mom and me . My mom got oral surgery recently aka tooth pulled. So I've been doing 3 people's laundry, house cleaning, shopping, cat care etc to pull everyone through. And my Aunt/Uncle are trying to sell their house because they bought it as an investment then the economy collapsed, banks ****ed people over with mortgages and they were kind of stupid with excess spending anyway. (Why I care about SS and activism). So my gma loaned them over $70k of her savings and they need to sell the house to even pay some of that back. Doctor/dentist bills really chip away and the dollar just doesn't go anywhere these days. I'm really sympathizing with this http://www.metrolyrics.com/dust-bowl-lyrics-natalie-merchant.html

So while I have been smart, not piled any debts and done everything the hard way all my life, I still am obligated with things. Even if I had the money I couldn't make it . Isn't it a wonderful life?

 

[Ken Neth]

MegarobMan, do you mean you're coming out to the Salt Fest tourney in UT? Cause that's the one I was talking about but your link was to Z4. It looks like we have M2K, Vegas, and maybe AZ coming out for it and M2K said something about a Midwest carpool coming out as well. Along with what will probably end up being a $250 pot bonus for each game, it should be an awesome tourney.

Rizen, sounds like you're in a tough spot. Hope things work out for you man.

 

[MegaRobMan]

Rizen-Oh. Yeah, you do what's best.

Ken-No lol. M2K knows about midwest carpools? That's awesome. He should let me know next time he's in the MW.

 

[Ken Neth]

Hey man, don't ask me. That's what he said.

I also just arranged a midwest carpool to be going, ... in a van

 

[Rizen]

@ Ken and Rob, thanks. I'll pull through. Missing stuff sucks though

 

[Ken Neth]

So is there no interest at all from CO in coming out to the regional in UT next month?

 

[MegaRobMan]

You guys get a lot of these. But ya know


Reminder, Tournament April 20th of 2013.

Also because I love to troll, I reset the brawl votes and made it a bit better so revote if you didn't last time.

Also because I like democracy, here's the link again to vote for the melee doubles stage

[Ken Neth]

Hey Colorado, I know no one's felt like replying to this, but is anyone thinking about coming out to UT for the tournament on May 11th? M2K is no longer coming, so the huge pot is up for grabs for any local/regional player that thinks they have what it takes. Up to $250 pot bonus on top of the pot is quite a bit of money.

And just a reminder, there's Brawl and Melee, as well as LoL, Street Fighter, Halo, Marvel, Persona, Mortal Combat, Soul Caliber, and StarCraft. (A bunch of those games getting big names out for it too, like Justin Wong and Chris G, for example) And the pot bonus for both brawl and melee is guaranteed at $150 per game and can go up to $250 if we get 32 entrants pre-registered by the end of April. The tournament is on May 11th, hopefully at least some of you will be able to make it.

It's been too long since UT and CO have been able to play each other, you guys should come show us how much you've improved. A crew battle would be sweet.

I am one of Colorado's players but I cant help to feel like if the scene in Colorado for Brawl is dying. Project M and 64 seems to be getting quite the hype and well those are the only games that have been hosting fests and tournaments during the last 2-3 months. Im sorry if Colorado players havent replied to this. But dont get the wrong idea, im just one person out of many, so my words only speak on what i feel. Hopefully more will get into discussion later on.

 

[madrush21]

Hey can someone link the event thread for Salt Fest? or is there one? If there's 64 I'll go for sure

No 64 tournament, but once the tourney starts slowing down I'm sure they could switch a setup over if there's enough people wanting to play. It would still be sweet to see you there.

Also, I'm aware that the majority of CO smash is on a facebook group instead of on smashboards. Would someone be willing to post it there? I asked awhile ago, but I doubt anyone posted it there for me.

 

[dettadeus]

I posted it in the FB group right after you posted in this thread.

The reason Brawl seems "dead" is because I'm basically the only Brawl TO and I've been super busy this semester with schoolwork and junk. I'm hoping to host something towards the end of May as a graduation party, then there's Z4 in mid-June, Get Hype 3 in late June, and then EVO.

Later in the year I'll be able to host regularly again.

 

[Ken Neth]

Thanks for posting that for me, did anyone ever respond/show any interest in it?

Well I'm interested in going but I need to hear back from someone if they can house me/give me a ride to the venue

 

[Ken Neth]

There are people willing to house that have offered housing to any OoS that comes. And if that doesnt work, I could house people too if needed, though I live a little farther from the venue than the salt lake smashers. And I'm sure someone could give you a ride as well (are you thinking of flying in or something?)

have a layover in salt lake that morning but I'll just push my second flight back so I can stay for the tournament. Would need ride from airport probably, not sure how far the venue is.

 

[Ken Neth]

The venue is in salt lake so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to pick you up. If you're pretty sure you'll be doing that then I'll start asking around to see who would be able to get you. Also, I can get you a code for $10 off pre registration (that goes for anyone else too). What games would you be entering in?

 

[madrush21]

Brawl Singles, 2v2 also if I have a partner

 

[CloudChaser071]

There's some marvel guys going out there from CO to Salt fest.

Although for Brawl specifically, I'm not sure.

 

[-Mars-]

I wanna go to Z4

 

[dettadeus]

foothills fest 2: 5/18/13, same place as before

 

[Rizen]

foothills fest 2: 5/18/13, same place as before

I can't go. My cousin's high school graduation is on that day

 

[dettadeus]

Show up a bit late?
My graduation is the day after, lol.

 

[Rizen]

Show up a bit late?
My graduation is the day after, lol.

I doubt it, to be realistic . ^Congratulations

 

[Ken Neth]

Is there a thread/info for z4? And would housing be available?

@Kenneth the thread should be up sometime soon, apparently Dan is still waiting to confirm the venue or something?
Housing should be available, I'll ask in the FB group for you.

 

[Ken Neth]

K, the sooner the better for having a chance of Utah making it out.

Also, who's all coming? And will there be more than 9 CO players coming? You should hype it up and get all the local players out to it.

 

[Zajice]

Don't get hit.

Why did one of you like a post from 2011?

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I was looking for a certain special post from years ago manually because SWF search is shoddy and doesn't search earlier posts than 2011, but then I realized I was dumb and could've just used Google.

Post in question: http://smashboards.com/threads/colo...e-in-the-springs.54708/page-907#post-10602938

Jamaal's birthday was yesterday, so I found it appropriate.

 

[DeLux]

Colorado, the circuit championship awaits you guys

[Jace08]

sup guys, I play melee but lux was cool enough to offer me a ride to your tournament this weekend. I would really love to meet some colorado melee players, but... does colorado have melee players? I legitimately don't know, please help me out here

I saw that there will be a 64 tourney too, which I would love and definitely enter

 

[dettadeus]

we have somewhere around 15 melee players, i remember melee at Z3 getting somewhere around 20 entrants though maybe?

some new people have popped up in the scene too and are taking the tournaments by storm so there'll be some competition

EDIT: ALSO for anyone who checks here and not the FB page for information (since a smashboards thread still doesn't exist...) it's been moved to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden

 

[Ken Neth]

Utah isn't coming. You guys need to be more active about hyping it up and getting it out there where people outside of CO can actually see it.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Not many people want to spend money on an airplane ticket to enter a tournament in CO, Or drive more than 8 hours for a 10 man tournament. So I guess excuse them for not being active for a dying game?

alright thanks for the heads up. I plan to go ahead and come out then. Looking forward to meeting lots of new players!

Brawl's not dying, it's sleeping >.> <.<

I don't blame you. I probably won't make it and I live here. I've been busy with this and that

 

[dettadeus]

rizen i could totally give you a ride if you're free that day
