In other news, blah. Anyone going to Dallas this weekend, for the "you should know, if you're going" event?
I'll be leaving tomorrow morning with some friends from Houston to A-Kon, I'm so excited ^^. Anyone know anything about the Brawl tournament there, besides it being best 2/3, no items? The website isn't too specific about it...I want to know prizes and such =/. I'm not going for Brawl obv, but it'd be a nice bonus for the weekend.

I just finished the first book, and oh man, what an ending.
Wow.
Anyways, I really want to go to Ceaser's fest tomorrow, and I need a ride there and back.
Is anyone willing to take me?
I can pay ten dollars gas money.

A-kon ruleset

Super Smash Bros Brawl

Single elimination

1v1

Rules are still being decided, pending more testing for the stages. But, all characters are legal, and items are turned off. No smashballs.

Sets are 2/3, 3 stock.

Maximum players: 256
In other words, you probably won't find out what the prizes are until you get there. It'll probably be something good. ;)

Yeah I remember the ending to the first book. It was pretty intense. Also, to answer your question from a couple pages back, I live in SW Houston, right off of Gessner and Bellaire

Also, I just watched Hylian's new combo video made by KRDsonic. Great job making it KRD, and great job Hylian, for being a kickass player.

Here is the video:

Nice video. I didn't see it, so close to TallMan's sig.

That kill you got from around 2:18 to 2:30 or so was badass.

Oh, sorry.
I was harsh and I apologise,
but if you're going to post about a tournament in the future,
be sure it is in the appropriate thread and give proper notice.
I.e. a week/month/whatever before the tournament instead of a day.

It's $300+ for 1st if they get full attendance, and apparently they have filled up 128 spots or so in 30 minutes, so I don't doubt it. I hope I do well :D.
Hey remember me at that tourney at Ronnies house back when. I was the jiggs, and we did jiggs dittos >_<

Secret HOBO is no longer secret.

Sounds very interesting Allan, and although it is a tad pricey, I shall be there. Expect any OOS people to show up? Or too soon to tell?

I'm excited.

Hmm... I would bring a TV to HOBO 5, but... no one would want to use it xD. It was plugged in during a storm so now it has lines across the screen at times (not bad), but when you plug it in, random things tend to turn on/off, so plugging it in may end up cutting someone's match off xD. And I'm not going to bring the normal TV :p Wonder if I should bring my wii though...

This tourney sounds like it will be big Xyro. Maybe announce it in the Tournament Listings? Or somewhere where OOS'ers will see it more easily.

*evil smile* it seems I've been getting really good with sheik. I'm thinking of using Ice Climbers only as a counterpick at HOBO5 :p Especially since there are so many Ice Climber counters. I seem to be getting better and better too. Someone I never stood a chance of beating a few weeks ago I can play at the same level with now, and someone I was at the same skill level with a few weeks ago lost every match we had today against me :D

OOS will not travel to a tournament with rules like this. That was made pretty clear by the backroom and top players.

What are the rules for the secret Hobo?

If you advertised it because of the venue size OOS might be intrested. But only if the ruleset was similar to other national tournaments such as AZonetwo step and FAST.
