Megabus isn't working until June 19th.

HOBO 38 isn't a good indicator due to the insane prices for that tournament. Texas' smash scene has obviously reduced though.

Texas' scene died when the second LSC failed after I was removed from the panel.

HOBO 38 prices were no worse than whobo(people are just stupid and don't buy venue early). It even had a bigger pot bonus.

Hobo 38 was def an indicator of this scene not even wanting to go to an event when payout/pot bonus is extended to top 7.

I'm plannin on coming 2 Whobo but I'm coming with my Girlfriend...

and I'm just trying to look up things to do outside of WHobo for her and I. Like any nice places to eat or any special activities that we can do.

For those of you that care, I'm reading a REAL book on my own free will. Let's see if I can finish it without falling asleep or losing interest.

Though that's a legit excuse, "insane prices" isn't true. People should have bought venue(the most expensive item) early.

sorry i sort of agree with mr. sims. Everyone will ALWAYS have money issues. Priorities have shifted, that's all. Some people aren't willing to sacrifice to make events anymore. Just how it is.

I'm predicting WHOBO 4 will outdo 3 as far as attendance is concerned.

Money's my problem.
But also because tournaments are too consistent in their results. The excitement's dead. :applejack:

brawl > sauna
my vomit>brawl

also cod wasn't my fault. Internet was super laggy yesterday. I tried to play, but it was ********. I would literally warp and die.

Money's my problem.

well, that too. Drive was a big motivator for people. Learning new ways to play the game, new techs, etc. But the most efficient way to play is already known. Honestly, its not enough variety in almost all aspects of the game...imo.

Well now that I FINALLY have my laptop(thanks Kilik) and no bull**** is happening to me, I'm going home to update the PR and make tournament threads.

Brawl is dying for multiple reasons and sauna=brawl=marvel=cod=tales. Just depends on your mood :)

Why would you put Tales in the same class as those?

You are banned from playing Xillia 2.
