As far as I know most of us have ours reserved at Valley West because thats where the tournament is going to be (I'm not sure anyone is actually going to play now since you have to use the Wiimote now).

I found the Des Moines thread!

Well, I'm coming back to Des Moines Melee - at least for a few months to make sure I'm not rusty for college. Plus, we need all the players we can get.

So, an idea to the Melee players - are there enough of us to justify our own weekly Smashfests?

I don't really think we'd have a problem getting enough people to come. I know we have at least eight people or so that are active, that's not including the Ankeny players and the new people that are popping up.

For Melee? ehhh... idk... Lol we kind of already ditched that game.. Terrible at it now. :laugh:

We were hella pro tho before Brawl came out. It's so weird goin from Brawl to Melee cause air dodge is useful in Brawl but in Melee its terrible... Little stuff like that... Lol

I would come to a Melee fest for sure, probably not if it was Brawl.
Before you ask, no. You haven't heard of me.

Yes, meet up at Mayhem this week, but we would need to find another place for the next week because that place is not suitable for multiple Smashfests.

1. It STINKS!
2. Too Small.
3. That place is not really a supporter of video games.

I get off at work at 5:00 today and don't have plans, so if anyone wants to hang out and play some Melee, send me a PM. Nevermind.

Good to hear. Any thoughts on a better location?

I won't judge Brawl's air dodge because I'm not qualified, but as far as Melee's air dodge goes: I strongly disagree. Someone who was "hella pro" would have understood the applications of an air dodge. Without the air dodge, you wouldn't be able to wavedash.

Yes, meet up at Mayhem this week [...]
Sounds good Greg. What time does everyone usually meet?

Yea thats true... without air dodge u cant wavedash.. heh forgot about that. I meant using air dodge for the way it was meant to be used. It isn't very useful in Melee compared to Brawl. :ohwell:

ames area

hey guys,

I have a small crew of 5 in the Ames area (we mainly play Brawl).

I've just started checking the Iowa threads on here and we'll try to show up to events.

Anyone else in Ames this summer? Feel free to pm me if you're in Ames and want to play 1v1 or 2v2.

@ sluys: I'm heading up to Ames next year to go to ISU. Do you know if they ever have tournies or smashfests there?

I will be attending ISU this fall. I'm told that it is mostly Brawl up there, but rest assured - once I'm a student, I'll do my best to start up a competitive Melee scene.

@kiwiomix: There have been a couple of small tournies with a LAN party group during the school year. Over the summer I've been hosting weekly 2v2s.

@victor: The people I play with are fine playing either game. I've been more into brawl lately just because it's new and my controllers are crapping out on me (but they still work for brawl).

i'll pm u guys my contact info.

If we decided to do a crew battle or smashfest or whatever, I'm pretty much free anytime except for the 21st-22nd, and I'll play Brawl or Melee...It's kind of hard to find a place to do it at though.

Also, do you have an account on steam Sluys? I think I see your account under the DSMGG group I'm a part of...my tag for that is ShRaPnel if you wanna play some TF2 or something sometime...:)

sluys crew, BC crew and jokers crew. we should all get together and have a crew battle.
If you wanna get some people together I'd be glad to host in Ames or travel.

ps. how about that rain?? anyone flooded?
Alright lets do it. Friday the 20th. Massive crew battle somewhere in Des Moines. Ill see how many people i can get. :p

I dont think Mayhem would be too happy with alot of people... I mean i heard its just jokers crew at Mayhem, but then when u add my crew and sluys crew... It might get to be too much. Anyone know of any other places we could go to in Des Moines?

Im gettin pumped haha.. this is gonna be fun :laugh:

We'll see who Iowa's top Brawl crew is ;)

PS: If anyone wants my cell phone number just PM me. It's the easiest way to contact me at anytime.
