Just make sure you get in some good games in both melee and brawl before we start the rankings. Thats the best way to get better really, i play ALOT more melee then i do brawl, really enjoy both games tho.

never really played a yoshi in either game, so should be good!

I try and play both. I play Brawl more, I try and play Melee every so often but I suck too much now. I can't even beat a lvl 9 cpu on Melee. Thats how bad I am now.

Nah, its not a tournament, just as smashfest, just a group of us get together and play smash all day:).

i found this video pretty interesting ( at around 5:45) before i attended my first fest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfQjwQOFA2o there is a part where he talks about attending a STD, it gave me a good idea of what to expect.

Lol. Sure.

Yoshi is way better in Brawl than in Melee so I daresay you'll cream me in Melee.

Just hope nobody here is going to be cheap and play as MK or something. =/

I can teach you melee yoshi
I know how to play Melee Yoshi. I have mained him since 2001, after all. O_o

calzum: where do you live? there are a gazillion buses or trains to Lincoln and there's a bus from Lincoln to Louth.

I'm meeting up with ROOOOY in Lincoln so if you get there at the same time you'll be able to mob along on the bus with us =D

:chuckle: I know how to play him having watched plenty of Fumi combo vids and a few tutorials as well as generally learning stuff but I'm still getting on my way to being able to consistently pull off his more advanced techs xD.

But I don't see why we can't have a Ditto (providing I practice enough as to not get ***** xD) and we can exchange suggestions?

As for Brawl's Yoshi well... ;)

Yen- I'm not coming. Sorry if I sounded like I was

Mr McMax- I would very much welcome yoshi dittos as weirdly enough it is quite a fun matchup. I would say I'm a fairly confident yoshi but we'll have to see how it goes.

@ Bullet Bill - Lol. I would say I'm a confident Yoshi too. Shame you're not going now though. =/

Well, since Wiis play GC games can't you just bring an extra Wii? On the other hand I can look for my gamecube and bring that, or my Wii if needs be. I can't remember where the 'cube is though. =/

Nah I don't think we will be able to come. Christmas time is too busy. Maybe if you do another smashfest in say the Easter Holiday or Summer Holiday then we will probably be able to come. =P

Thanks for hosting a good Smashfest Yen, I enjoyed myself.

Did a lot better then I thought I would to be honest. Not sure I quite deserved second in Brawl, but meh xD

Well done on the two firsts lol. Snake is sooooo gay.

Dam made Falcon top tier material today. Seriously.

Hahaha.

I sucked but IT WAS SO EPIC.

The five hours was so worth all the hassle of figuring out how to get there.

Next smashfest you can put me down as a cert for sure. I've been once, I have nothing stopping me from coming again =PP

And I want to get myself up the **** ranks >_>;

Okay, not sure if you guys have seen the thread entered but I'll post here anyway. Player of Melee, Disliker of Brawl (but will still play on occasion) I'll be in the Midlands until about January 6th. Need some opposition. Will be in Leicester, how much would it cost for me to get to a smashfest or meetup or to get to some players in this place?

Leicester? Oooooo.....
I know a few Leicester players some that come on here and some that don't. I could be of use.

Anyway, sorry I couldn't make it guys. Did you have fun? Hopefully I can make it too the next fest.
