Oh hey, Seagull Joe. Would be pretty sweet if you showed up. I've been picking up Wolf for the Marth MU (it's total ****s with Wario) so getting some personal pointers from the dude himself would be neat.
It's kinda an interesting matchup. When one gets damage they take a bunch of damage. :wolf: should definitely camp :marth:, but only at a far range. At mid range firing a laser could prove hazardous because :wolf: can be punished in time if it's PS'd. Whoever Sh's their Fair/Bair first usually takes first blood. :marth:'s however isn't as safe on shield as :wolf: and you can drop Fsmash after the first Fair on :wolf:'s shield. Most of :marth:'s moves can be punished with Fsmash because he has to land before he does anything like shield.

So I was going to wait until I absolutely could confirm otherwise on some miracle stroke of luck, but there are too many things conflicting for me last minute that prevent me from being able to attend this =(

Family decided to come visit for 4-5 days during this time, my mom's birthday is that Sunday, a co-worker took vacation while I was sorting out travel plans... Basically it's a perfect storm for me to not be able to attend. My most conflicting weekend in August.

I love all of Nova Scotia to death, and I honestly wish I could be there and not worry about anything else. Hell, I will still beg and try to miss my mom's b-day and ditch out on two days of seeing my 6 month old niece. I've been putting off telling you guys because I didn't want to let you down, and I have still been trying to figure out a way to make it there. But it's not looking optimal =l

Honestly, I'm just glad that it's a legitimate excuse instead of giving us the **** to go to revelations. It happens, even though it friggin sucks :/

Holy **** guys... That's so much money. Get more and it might even be worth buying a confirmed ticket to nova scotia.

At this point though, continually raising the pot seems pointless. I mean, in a sense, we're now competing with Revelations, and they had to be ****s and make a $2500 pot bonus, which I BETCHA they did on purpose to prevent people from going here. Plus, honestly, I don't think we're going to garner any more attention than we already have. It sucks, but, I think we might lose money on this unless a miracle happens. I love the work that you guys put into it, but I'm very concerned, too...

Revelations doesn't give two ****s about us, we're less than a blip on their radar.

We're not holding any more fundraisers or anything; the monthly we had just yesterday was the last thing we plan to have before HellaSmashed. Just...we keep finding more money.

Hm? From what camden posted, it seems as if your expenses are more than you guys can handle. Is everything going to be okay for this tournament?

I'm just concerned that we'll have like, 30 or so people competing for a ton of money, which somewhat bothers me. Sometimes, I just wish we were a little bit closer to everyone else.

Well, if not many people show up, is there a way to split up the pot to other events, or would that be cheating the out-of-towners?

Alphiiiiiii, $5 DK/MK? *shots fired*

Yeah that does suck and you guys worked so hard to earn that pot money :(

After looking at what Revelations is, I really don't think they intended to steal away potential players for/from HellaSmashed. It is unfortunate that both tournament dates happen to coincide... If I could go to either, I'd definitely choose yours :(

I wouldn't drop the pot after announcing it unless you can get everybody to agree on it.

Its just frustrating that revelations made their tournament months upon months after ours and overlapped it.
Be in our shoes Kevin, because this is the second year in a row that they did that.

It's also not primarily a Smash tournament.

Like, it's primarily EVERYTHING ELSE, and Smash got tacked on.
