Confirmed going:
Inui
Chibo
Xzax
Nasty
Bnzaaa

Cost: $35 per person

Estimated departure time: 5:00pm, Thursday, from Chibo's house in Philly

Drivers, and thus in the front seats: Inui and Chibo

Hotel: Days Inn, booked for Thursday through Saturday, $50 per night split between the people that are staying there each night. Inui, Chibo, and Xzax have guaranteed comfortable sleeping spots, and I think there's a couch and chair and stuff too. I don't want to crowd the room, but getting enough people to drop the price per person really low would be nice.

Return: We should be back in Philly by Monday morning after driving all night after MLG.

I just took top 16 at the most stacked tournament ever, and that would get me pro points at MLG. I really want to go.
Lol @ comparing taking top 16 at a seeded tourney with two rounds of pools & seeding to... MLG. Not saying you can't take top 16 again, but there's literally nothing stopping you from the possibility of playing anyone there round 1.

I was in losers round one of Apex 2, lmao. I'm entering every set with the mindset that I can win, regardless of my opponent.

MLG is florida territory better start training in a frame of lag. One thing I like about MLG is sleep :D, not a competition of who is less tired.

Well, the first three additional people to confirm are going to get spots, so let me know ASAP. Philly isn't too far out of the way, so I could go there to get people.

How much is Raleigh anyways? I mean the tournament... I mean, I usually go to melee tournaments, but I mean I guess I should try a brawl tournament to learn something. (I use Diddy) unless you'd rather have someone that might do well at it lol... I'm just thinking... LOL.

Ah ok. I shouldn't have problems with money, and I wouldn't mind learning some brawl stuff from MLG. Plus it's MLG, it'll be fun I guess.

Yeah you probably don't know me since I haven't been to brawl tournaments, but melee tournaments. But yes, I seriously want to go. I will buy a pass friday (when I get payed) if I can go with you.

So yeah I'm free the 27th-29th. I'm VERY sure I won't do well, but I'll get some great experience from it (game experience, and people experience as well) and who knows, I'll bring a cube for friendlies IF people want to play melee/pso/starfox assault or something. If not I'll friendly with brawl. : ]

I just want to show that I AM open to both games, I'm no whinny baby.

I'll play Melee with you. I like it a lot until I fight Fox/Falco over and over in tournament (my round two pool in Melee was only those characters).

Okay, I guess I can confirm you. Just be in the same place as Chibo and Xzax. I'm not going to drive around all of Philly to get people. It's a huge city and driving in cities sucks.

Oh I see, I use Doctor Mario, haha.

Ok, I will be, I'll just text Chibo and ask him where he will be at. : D Whoooo hype.

(also, I won't be a party pooper and just sit at my melee setup all day, I will move around some haha : D, I am a nice guy)

omg it makes sense

pill camping = peanut camping

glide toss banana d-smash = wavedash d-smash

d-tilt grab = jab grab

same kill moves (f-air, f-smash, d-smash)

hmm

Yes, and Diddy is even closer than Mario. I don't even like Mario in brawl.

Also Diddy DOESN'T have a cape, but he has bananas, they can be just as gay. ;p

I actually forgot what to do mostly with diddy, and watched a match between Gnes and San, (to remember what diddy should do) his diddy was really good. : D

Also I need to practice glide tossing haha. Oh Dtilt > grab? Ah ok I didn't know that haha awesome. I love jab> grab and jab>dsmash xD

Also do we gotta book our own hotel? : D

I was already planning to take a carpool down there, actually. If anyone else is interested after this fills up, let me know.

I need one more person.

Got my car back today. After I get the spark plugs changed on Friday, it can survive the trip easily.

I'm getting a super cheap room near the venue thanks to Chibo. Eff paying 139 per night. I'm going for 50. Chibo and Cheese have freeFREEfree housing, but the rest of us can be in the hotel room I get.

Edit: Hotel is booked. $150...for three nights. :D

Working out gas/tolls charges soon.

Good ****. May I go with you all? I'm serious about going.
Yes. I will be making ONE stop in Philly hopefully, so all of you need to gather in one place for me, otherwise I'm going to charge more for driving.

Can you confirm?

In fact, I refuse to confirm any spots until you have an MLG pass purchased. I don't want people dropping out. Buy your passes, then get back to me please. :p

Yeah, Ranmaru is going to pay for my pass (I will pay him back when I get money from my mom) So whenever he's getting his I'll have mine too. So yeah I'll get back to you, deff.

Also we will all meet at the same spot too.

The trip is 480.51 miles each way and my car gets 24 MPG highway and gas is like $2.50 around here and like $2.70 down there I think...

In order to compensate for the wear and tear on the car (this trip is like 1/4 of an oil change, puts a ton of miles on my car, etc.), parts of the trip that aren't highway, and tolls, I will be charging based on 1,000 total miles, 20 MPG, and $3 per gallon of gas, which will equal $25 per person with six people.

The hotel is $50 per night, divided by how many people stay in each night, and is on my card, so people will need to give me money for that. It has a queen sized bed and a couch. I'm definitely in the bed. I'm assuming Xzax is going to stay with me, so he can have a bed spot too since he's friends with me. I don't really know the other two people. Chibo and Cheese only need the room on Thursday since they have vVv housing the other two nights.

Everyone in Philly is to meet up at Chibo's house. That is the only place in Philly I will be picking people up. Gather there, and I'll get you all at once. I don't want to be a taxi driver and have to drive around a city, because then my car's MPG drops to like 15 and it will add a lot of time.

I'll be arriving in Philly, hopefully, around 5pm on Thursday.

Edit: Does anyone have a GPS? That will make this trip much easier.
