Hey, is anything happening this weekend? If a tournament won't be held, I'll be down for meeting at CoD for a Smashfest or possibly host at my dorm at Northwestern. Note, though, that I need to confirm that the lounge isn't reserved on Saturday and that it will only be a Smashfest and not a tournament.

So long as I don't work, I'm down for Smash any day.

That said, we should do dailies. 75 cent entry.

WoW was the ****, but then they went and ****ed it up.

Except I probably just got sick of it after a while/didn't want to spend the money on expansions.

I can't play classic style MMOs anymore. Too slow for me. It kind of makes Monster Hunter a blessing. Too bad it has no PvP.

Never played MMOs much, always found them to be endless questing and grinding. This isn't much better, but its free and the combat is entertaining. Also you are encouraged to play PvP starting at low levels as well as other group play where it automatically matches you with a group. Its still beta so the classes aren't balanced; right now I believe wizards to be really weak and clerics are really strong. There are 2 fighter classes (one for offense and one for defense) and a rogue class, all of which are really strong too. Theres some platforming elements and some micro for those who look to exploit those types of things and every class has a roll of sorts that gives burst movement and some invincibility to dodge attacks.

Maaaaybe I'm not 100%. Why are you planning something?
It sounds like a gathering at CoD is happening on Saturday, so I was just wondering if you were going.

Could someone ask Kirk to modify the OP so that people know something is happening?

I work on saturdays for the next couple weeks so I can't go to these and I'm not sure Kirk has any interest in CoD smashfests. Maybe one of you guys can make your own thread dedicated to CoD smashfests and just bring it up whenever one is scheduled.

Sure thing. I probably shouldn't make the new thread though, because I'm typically busy on weekends and wouldn't be able to go to many of them. Would someone else be willing to start a thread?

I am like 95% able to go to something this weekend since i can finally get away from my school. So you can most likely count me to be there.

Yup, I live in BG. I'm in Evanston for school until June, but I'd be down to Smash after I graduate :).

Also, when do people plan on showing up on Saturday? I plan to come around noon, but that will change if others can't make it as early.

If you're coming on Saturday, please bring setups! I'm bringing mine, but it will be no fun at all if there's only one setup and > 4 people playing on it.

You should try Two headed giant Teams!

Only 8 easy payments of 8.95.

We are in the SRC building, in the school's cafeteria. This room has clear glass windows and lots of tables and chairs. Its hard to miss it.

I normally come from butterfield rd, here is a drawing of the path I take...

Nice picture Sveet, thanks for helping people out. It sounds like you're going tomorrow, I'll see you guys there!

By the way, I'm shooting to be there around noon.

Actually I'm not 100%. I know when someone says they aren't 100% it probably means they aren't coming (especially with the attendance record i've had lately), but my intention is to be there. We played for 6-7 hours today, I played almost exclusively melee. My hand/wrist hurts quite a bit, but i'll probably be able to suck it up :) My passion for melee has been revived, im glad there are people who are still interested in playing that game.

Will there be another one this saturday?
If there is, I won't be able to go.

By the way, I'm in the process of splitting up the matches into videos. With the other activities I have going on right now, it'll probably take me all week and possibly next week to get Saturday's videos up.
