Okay, I Should be able to attend! I don't think I work until 6, and 4 hours should be enough time to win singles. ;) It's been years since HEB was seen at a tourney...

Guys, please leave the names or tags of everyone that will be attending/coming with you/whatever so that Kal can add them to the list. He has limited space.

i expect turn out to be 40 MAX.

I was really bad at Melee, so I'm here to try and discourage its resurgence so I can continue playing a game without a skill gap.
Thanks for your input TGM. Your literacy skills never cease to amaze me.

Kal told me to come here and post, because I can say the things he's truly thinking without worrying about the consequences because I don't live here anymore and also my manager trusts me over anyone else including any of you guys. You could try to get hired there, and maybe I'd let you, and then you could try to trashtalk me behind my back or something (which you wouldn't do because all my coworkers love me but we're being hypothetical here), and then I could get you fired because my manager knows I'm a Man. And also I've been working there off and on for the last 4 years.

Basically he wants me to say the following things:
1) Jordan promised to go Bowser the whole way. No counterpicks. Make sure he keeps his word. (Most of you will still lose anyway)
2) If you smell bad, no one wants you to go to the tournament, so don't go.
3) At least 5 of you smell bad RIGHT NOW and I know it but I'm not naming names unless you force me.
4) Don't go see The Mummy 3. Ever. Even in a trilogy of bad movies, it's easily the worst.
5) Hylian should change his name to Bylian. Because he should always be leaving.
6) If you have a girlfriend, don't bring her to the tournament. She doesn't care. About you *or* the game.
7) I already know none of you has a girlfriend, especially since several of you are gay and male.
8) The gay males among you could probably find a girlfriend more easily than the rest of you.
9) That's especially true of Jordan, who pretty much only hangs out with lesbians and underage Mexican girls anyway.
10) This post is here to demonstrate proper trolling technique.

That's all Kal wanted me to say, I think. It's close enough, anyway. Did I mention that I'm not coming to this because I'm still 5 hours away and working all day that day and things? Well it's true. It's all true. It's always all true. The School Rumble manga--also true.

Kal we should like, have a Ganon MM or something. To my knowledge we only played one Ganon ditto @ Gettin Smashed, so in a way the two of us have some unfinished business.

Not a bad idea. Maybe my next tournament will require a $5 Entrée fee.

Attending For Great Justice?

I doubt I'll be able to make this one though. I already have time off this month for San Japan and a concert on August 23rd in Austin. If I can make time, I might see about making time for games with my Austin peeps on that concert day.

Plus I'm checking out arcadeUFO, which is basically Einstein's coming back from the dead.... kinda. Look it up for more info. It's an arcade built by a pro Street Fighter player.

Stop being such a child. Proclaiming it to be dead isn't going to make it more true.

I'll be showing up with at least a couple more Houston players despite the short notice.

Leapinghare and I will be there. SSB64 with cube controllers will be great. Can't wait. Also, any city wish to challenge Dallas to a crew battle?!

We can discuss Crew battle MMs after the tournament, or during the few hours before the tournament starts. I have recording equipment, which could be fun.

It's too bad most people with Wiis are pansy fan boys who don't want to risk bricking their Wiis. :( Getting homebrew is very easy, and well worth it. I have every SNES, NES and Gameboy game, along with emulators, on one 2GB SD card, as well as programs for transferring GCN saves from my SD card to my memory card, and allowing me to extract special save files that can't normally be taken from the Wii (like Brawl). I even have a small media player which works fine, and I can watch most video formats off of it, and it allows SD card swapping.

They're working on allowing DVD reading with Homebrew, too. Once they do, it's as simple as making a program that boots the images of Wii games, and we basically have a free mod chip that requires only software installation.

Anyway, the point is that, with more homebrew setups, we could have more than one 64 setup.
