The only nerf Diddy would have is removing glidetossing, because they fixed the physics.

His Rocketbarrel looks buffed (uncharged seems to go much farther, looks easier to control the angle, and more control after it fizzles out AND you can go completely horizontal as an attack option).

And who knows how many invincibility frames his monkey hump move has now. I wouldn't be surprised if they were like, "Duhhhhhh, needs to be the entire animation!"

But yeah, sarcasm aside, it depends on how Diddy transitions from Brawl. Sort of how Marth transitioned from Melee to Brawl. They improved a few things and nerfed a few things, and he is still a great character, but not as dominating because Brawl engine.

Xyro, still adamant on not having tournaments for the 3DS version?

It will might be 6 months before the Wii U version comes out...

Has anybody experienced connectivity issues with multiple 3DS playing together at the same time?

Since majority of people will want to get a 3DS for Smash, can we make Super Street Fighter IV : 3D Edition a side event :)

I'll have to do something with the 3ds version. Once the WiiU version is out, I'll trash the 3ds stuff sooooo fast.

Yet again, Nintendo making a huge mistake by offering the 3ds version first.

Well, it would be useful to have say....while waiting in line for the new X-men/Spiderman/whatever movie? You know there will be other nerds with a copy of the game...

I suspect there are probably a few technical details for the Wii U version that are not ready...probably the online portion.

Dunno about anything else but SA has been dry since Nike/Blondie moved around summer last year outside of con tournaments like San Japan 6 in August. Austin been ded since Zigsta left 2 years ago, and Houston hosts WHOBO's only afaik.

Dallas is the beacon for, as zano said, P:M mostly.

The best option for PM/Mele/Brawl/64 in Texas right now is WHOBO MLG.

It's may 3rd-4th

I don't care too much for Greninja as a pokemon, but if he plays anything like Sheik, I may use him.

Sad that Sheik's ftilt got nerfed, but it was a necessary evil.

There are going to be so many Greninjas, Lucarios, and Mega Mans early on...blue characters everywhere.

oh yeah ill most def do 3ds events, especially at the beginning. if the rumors are true, you can use the 3ds as a controller for the wiiu. that will help make this game grow HUGE.

5 more days until online registration ends for WHOBO MLG Houston. You can still register at the door but it will be 40$ instead of 30$.

Some key things to remember:
AirBrushKing is donating a 100$ pot bonus to Melee and i am donating 100$ pot bonus to Brawl. No promises but we are working on a pot bonus for PM.

Melee gets MLG seeding points for the MLG 2014 championships in Anaheim. The top 32 players in Melee 1vs1 get these points. To claim them you must register at https://accounts.majorleaguegaming.com/account/new

There will be a trophy for Brawl and medals for all events (melee/PM/Brawl/ssb64)

Please bring a full set-up we really need them. Free drink vouchers and some custome smash posters are available to the first wave of people who bring full set-ups (wii/ssbb+ssbm/tv).

For more info on rules or anything WHOBO related including registration please go to the links below. If you have any questions, post in those 2 links and me or ABK will get back to you.
