yah forget that banning MK for pools only besides hardly anyone uses MK here your going to see a lot of Ikes falcons and ganons at the tournament. There where like 20 Ikes last time at MP and I was like the only one who made it past round 2 lol. There will probably be talk about banning MK tomorrow since everyone will be at the smash fest we have here on Tuesdays everyone will be there except me :(.

There will be no HD TVS on my part I don't waste money on stuff like that. Do any of you guys know if antenna connections cause lag as well? I felt it at one tournament or there TVs sucked but just want to make sure in case we use VCRS to record.

Who is this NicholaiGinovaef kid??? You better win the melee tourney, if not I will ban you from gears 2 cause you suck.

Hd TVs are banned!! thanks, i have been waiting for this backup since a longggg time ago.
I say we vote for banning mK right at the beggining of the tourney or as they sign up. I don't mind being in charge of that.
OOS people start sending PMs or AIM to Arturito Burrito, Vermillion, Or furiousduffmanx if you need info or housing so we can list more stuff.
NOW that we are having a lot of support of Out Of State people, i am considering of talking to The District manajor of Game Crazy to see if we can get more stuff.

Arturo i agree on your idea on Pools and melee the first day, then the rest for the second. OOS we need your opinion on that too.
As a little treat, Melee doubles?????

Dude try and get as much sponsoring as you can!! I'm writing the letter to rudolf right now but I feel like I'm doing an awful job at it. luckily my accounting teacher who is the senior class sponsor does this stuff all the time and she agreed to peer edit it for me. No announcement at school either because we're just a bunch of nobodies according to EPISD but I did take out a 2 by 4 add on in the school news paper hope that attracts people.

this is what I have so far from the letter if your wondering.

Dear Dennis R. Neessen,

My name is Arturo Andujo, a senior at Franklin high school. My biggest hobby is actually competing in video games I’ve traveled out of state for these as far as California with other friends. We’ve also hosted tournaments here in El Paso with no where near as much success. We usually have a pretty strait forward attendance of 60 or more.

edit: said as far as california because even though central texas is in the same state its still just as far and I thought it would sound better.

Sounds Good so far. Now I think You should mention that OOS People are coming to this. I believe this Helps El Paso in a way of tourism. We are trying to Attract Many people to Come to El Paso.

MY MM CHALLENGES

Accept so they can be put up. All 10$ 2/3
MY FALCON vs:
Xion-ike
hylian-ganon

Alright this is what I could come up with tell me what you think luis. I don't even know if your good at literature or not but meh better than nothing since my teacher stepped out.


Dear Dennis R. Neessen,

My name is Arturo Andujo, a senior at Franklin high school. My biggest hobby is actually competing in video games I’ve traveled out of state for these as far as California with other friends. We’ve also hosted tournaments here in El Paso with no where near as much success. We usually have a pretty strait forward attendance of 60 or more. There is an upcoming tournament on Nov. the 14th trough 16th, it will be an event starting from Friday at around 3 P.M. and ending on Sunday at 10 P.M. This time it is excepted that the attendance will receive over a hundred people for the main event. People from out of state are finally going to pay attention to El Paso and show up for this. We have people from Arizona, New Mexico, and central Texas already talking about showing up for this and we have only been advertising for about 3 days.

In order to make this the best experience we can for all of the people showing up I am asking for your help. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help with a contribution to the prize pot. We will be advertising all over the city with this and Rudolf Chevrolet’s name could be in ever single flyer and ad we take out from the moment your contribution is confirmed. We will even get the best people we can find to do flyers for us and distribute hundreds of copies in gaming stores, schools, youth centers, and other youth related activities.


I would like to thank you for your time in reading this as well. Most people now a day consider video gaming a waste of time and money but it is really a big part of society now, even if it is looked down upon as childish and damaging it actually helps people out. Video games now are pretty much like any other sport they keep teens away from bad influences and there are hardly any events like these near the border land, possibly two or three a year and none have ever been sponsored so once again thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Arturo Andujo.

edit: uhh horrible format on here.

I am a tutor but more on the math side. I am on smashboards right now at work, aren't I a good tutor. lol

Your grammar is fine i believe. I don't like the words PRIZE POT on there. Too slang, explain how the prizes will be, and possibly distributed. Any type of sponsorship will be accpeted. Ask for a car as a prize, kidding lol. I like your middle paragraph. Last paragraph too. No other ideas occur to me at the moment, but good job so far so good.

If Melee is moved to Saturday, I'll probably go, as soon as the attendance thing starts to look better.

I'm really paranoid about OOS stuff now.

We will have a semi good tournout. There is like 15 of us that know each other and will join.
Remember that we will add more the prize, even if its just gamestop gift cards. Sponsors are work in progress so we might get a lttile more love for melee

Hah, talk about smash insecurities...

Anyway, we will decide tomorrow whether or not MK will be banned from this tournament. ALSO, there is 1 HD tv we will be using during the tournament that I know of. The rest depends on who brings setups. I will, by request, move you to another tv if you do not wish to play on the HD tv. Not that I think it matters... Maybe in Melee... but this is Brawl... But there will be 1 HD tv present, but its no reason to get your panties in a bunch. ALSO! I will NOT be giving out Gamecube/Wii controllers to ANYONE. Last time, the store ended up losing 1, and the time before we lost 2. So bring your own stuff or borrow one from a friend.

Well I'm just saying you WILL NOT bring that Vizio, Mr. Defiant. Its clearly stated in the rules they are banned. We didn't say that the only reason you beat us is because of your T.V. so cut it out. Just because it makes you feel like a spoiled Caucasian child is no excuse to use HDTVS. If you want money matches then thats just dandy :bee:

We need to play D/P you quitter! Beating Luis and Raul didn't kick start it in you again!??!

I'm voting to Ban MK. At least for this tourney. :ohwell:

I'll do five dollar Falcon ditto money matches with anybody.

Oh, and either completely ban MK, or don't ban MK. Because if an MK main gets out of the pools, I don't really want to hear his johning about not being able to use MK anymore.

EDIT: Shouldn't you guys put the Melee rules in the OP?

Ok. Now this tournament is looking hot.

Crew battles, you say?

Well, there's only two AZ melee players....

Soo.... how about the three players Kash mentioned join us?

Crew MANZ.

That is, if I CAN go, lol
They'd be down for that, I'm sure.

After all, once upon a time AZ and NM were one state.

Ill PM you to keep you posted.

We need Dallas for a bawls out AZ vs. TX Crew battle!!! ( for Melee AND brawl )maybe even a tri state crew battle with NM!
New Mexico wins.

I like the OOS player's attitude.
Just cause our title says take our money, doesn't mean you guys will. ;)

Tetsuya, tuesday at major players
El Paso came to New Mexico's last large/good OOS tournament and got rocked. Every time you guys come here and get ***** you leave without saying a word all huffy puffy.

8 hour drive... dag yo... we'll see

You should consider banning MK for this tournament. No governing body will come to a decision any time soon, so it is up to the community to make the decision.
Ban Metaknight.

I had thought of doing a "secret ban," seeing as most of the people who post on here will make it to the later stages of the tournament. I do not want to ban him outright because it will definitely hurt the attendance of the scrubs whose monies we want to take. Perhaps we should ban him from Quarter or Semi-Finals and up?
No offense, but that's a stupid idea. That's like banning a stage for half the tournament, or making half the tournament 4 stock. It doesn't make any sense.

u sound so sure u will win in melee

i can almost assure you that its not as easy as u think
we have some pretty fierce melee players.....

@ john ur link never played me

@ anthony, its a little concieded to call urself the best and only Jigg in TEXAS

@ OOS i dont post often but u will know my name well if u attend this tournament gauranteed
I'm not guaranteed to win, but if I'm the only one that shows up and you can convince some randoms to enter... then cash for me.
He'll get second. Only the real Neil can defeat Neil squared.

Your 1 win against us in Brawl doesn't constitute EVERY time. If I recall, we destroyed you guys in Melee pretty consistently. And even when we did win we never stayed around to hang out with you guys. So how could we leave all huffy puffy when we always just leave when we're done?

1. Cool.

2. True

3. Wrong. NM will not win. Baby, its fact! XD

5.Yes. Ban his arse
6. Yes . Stupid idea

Well, you got destroyed by CO and NM at the last big Melee tournament we had, too. Though, you did rock our world the majority of the time in Melee. At least mine.

Neil is a Smasher in our state. His tag is Sliraobe God. He's a 14 (his birthday is this weekend) and I swear to God he hasn't hit puberty yet and he's really good at Melee.

Tee ay aye came to New Mexico for a tournament, and we all decided he was Neil squared. Acted like him, talked like him, practically the same age, etc. Like, he'd literally say something and everyone would go, "shut up Neil," and turn around to see it be Tee ay aye. Therefore, Tee ay aye is Neil squared.


So I'm definitely super interested in this tournament now, and I bet I can get anywhere from 5-10 New Mexico players to come. Housing?

Arturo might have you covered on that. He did say he might be able to fit about 30ish. ( better bring a sleeping bag ) Enough of this "world rocking" the only thing thats gonna be world rocking is this tourney! :laugh:

BTW we should at least take a vote here before we the tourney about the whole "Banthe****outofMK" thing.

Not going to sound rude but if you guys don't have many metaknight players, why ban him?

I really think you guys should wait for Hobo 12 and read feedback there cause at houston a good 1/3 of the players were metaknight player so the ban would be so much more significant there. Thats just my opinion though.

I dunno. Cause he's a clown? Whatever. Like I said. We'll finalize the banning/not banning of Metaknight tomorrow and then post it up on here sometime tomorrow night.

Oh and about the last NM Melee tournament, I didn't go so I wouldn't know. I just know that every time I went I kicked *** all over the place. It was disgusting.

We may not have many MK mainers but we are not suggesting the ban to cripple our own players =P

If we don't have many MK mainers then a Hard-Ban wont be that huge of a deal. It would be nice how the results play out too. No matter what, its up to the TO and the community.

*cough* BAN HAMMA !!!!

I'll see whats up. I would probably have to meet them like on their drive up their somehow. It'd add 3 hours to them to go through our town. I'm interested in coming though.

Ban or no ban. My diddy's ready. XD

Oh hell yeah dude. :laugh:

I kinda feel like you'd be better off mastering Diddy anyways :lick:

Yeah... If dojo went and used MK you'd be better off putting your money on the door step and leaving...

Way to nerd up the thread Richard. I'm surprised you're BARELY offering housing. You should be used to having tons of strangers in your house.
