I did not see those buttons on top of the nunchuk. Thanks again!

looks like i wont be entering the tournement, reason number one, the trophy, if that is it, look horrible, and number two, the wii remote and nunchuck have to be the worst controls for a smash game

I'm appalled.
Why are you people concerned with the trophy? The real prize is advancing to the second round of the tournament (If possible).

Here's a reminder of what controllers you can use for the tourney:
NES-style Wii Remote!
Classic Controller!
the Nunchuk!

I think if I end up using the Classic Controller, I'll change the "Y" button to specials, the "B" button for Smashes, and make the "X" and "A" buttons jump. That seems closer to the Gamecube layout. Hopefully, though, they'll let me use my Cube controller. I know the rules say you can't, but let's face it...different Gamestops will definitely have different rules in round 1.

IDK my gamestop said he may use GC controller cause it is there choice rules say "Controllers provided by gamestop"
No it says in the rules that they have to use the Wii Mote and Numchuk
but if you gamestop is willing to bend the rules a little bit thats cool, but just know if you go on to the next rounds that they will make you use the wiiMote and chuk****
what's the chances of the parents rule not being enforced
cause that's the gayest thing ever. I'm 17 and I can't get into a tournament by myself?! I have a license, a car, insurance, but they're gonna deny me my tournament?!
Sigh

It's a good thing yours is. Though my local Gamestop is undecided.
(it's cool having 3 Gamestops within 15 min. form each other, though only 1 is supporting the Brawl tournament)
It depends on the number of people showing up. (min. 36, max. 72) Timewise.
The reason you need a parent signature is so that they can legally "release you" to be filmed and to have all the prizes.
Honestly I see no point in having a parent release waiver unless you make it to the round 4 when you get filmed and have a shot at the prize.
My guess is they are just trying to deter kids.
Rusashi I feel for you man I'm in the same position as you haha.
What I'm try to do is to get the forum and say my dad is waiting outside and have forge it outside.
But gamestop guy said, "we need to visibly see your parent/guardian sign it"
maybe it will be too busy *shrugs

i have a question... do u guys think i should use Ice climbers just because I might be get use to Wii remote.
I find Ice Climbers not only have extra hands to get extra items, but also good cpu. in addition, they got chain grab.
P.S I use fox in super smash

My Gamestop:
- unlimited # of participants, but must have signed up today and today only (I'm #19, woo)
- you need to be 13 or older, and you don't need a parent to sign for you
- starts at 6:00pm March 8th
- controller is most likely Wiimote/Nunchuck (provided by them), but they told me to call back tomorrow and ask about GCN controllers since so many people brought them up

It doesn't mention Wiimote and Nunchuk anywhere in the rules. The rules were written vaguely so that the large majority of text blocks could be used for various tournaments, not just a Brawl one. The only thing regarding controllers mentioned in the rules is that you have to use controllers provided by the Gamestop (whether that includes Wiimote or a Gamecube controller).No it says in the rules that they have to use the Wii Mote and Numchuk

The website says it starts at 12:01 am... Help PLEASE!
If you're not good with them, then you'll just get pwned. Also, are they even in the starting roster?

That's the time Brawl is released

Don't bother being optimistic. Gamestop is run by people who follow the rules, and the rule is that if you are a minor, you have to have a guardian's signature. Bring a guardian if you want to play.
12:01 is the time Brawl is released, which is independent of the time tournaments start.
Not only would they get in trouble if they didn't turn you away, there are likely to already be tons of people there, so anyway they can cut the people participating...

I look forward to playing as Link, I've mastered him beyond any casual comprehension.
Well I know what it says in the "Official rules" that the gamestops will be able to choose the controller but I guess gamestops were notified that they have to have there contestants use the wiimote and Nunchuk.
