See you next time moozle!
@Sam: Which either means we will never have empty nights because not everyone would be busy, or no one will be busy and it'll be packed each time lol

can you guys sell me one
or just give me one for free if you want to be an excellent human being
i wanna try them out first tho
i'd rather pay more for a controller that i know is good than try my luck on a used controller that may or may not have round buttons

If you have that many controllers, I am guessing you aren't satisfied with any of them.

This Thursday and all of the rest of our meetings this semester (with the exception of December 1st) will be in Union South, NOT Memorial Union. This week we're in the Governance room on the second floor. Go up the central staircase, turn 180 degrees, and follow the hallway to the computer lab. Governance is right across from the lab. 6 PM as always.
Bring setups if at all possible!

I'm gonna be out of town for the first one, but I'll make the next one.

Oh yeah, parking on the street is free after 6PM, which is when this starts, so you can probably get within 2 blocks on Orchard Street or thereabouts. If you can't find anything there you can park behind my house, which is about 2.5 blocks away.

Awesome, I'll be there. I'll be attending every Thursday until IMDB. After, it'll probably be a twice a month thing. Thursday is play n' trade at Pegasus >.<

I'm guessing that's a game store.
Even though IMDB isn't even here yet, are we still bent on doing regular tournament stuff? Or is this going to be like a one time deal every few months? Also, each person in a dorm should start in interest group and get it out there. ~30 people signing up for Liz group in a single night. wtf. There might be like one or two more people to join us after a little while.

^But most of those people are casuals who think edgeguarding is cheap. Not that that's necessarily bad, but I don't think they'd have fun at our meetings since we're playing different games.

That's not very tactful, I know. And not what I'm driving at.
There are people who are likely interested in learning more about the games competitive side. The thing is that those opportunities are either invisible to them or they simply didn't know that people actually play tournaments with smash. From what I keep hearing/reading about, most people only started getting more involved after friends introduced them to all the cool stuff to do in the games. Or found out that there are people who compete with smash.
Millions of smash games have been sold and with Nintendo being a large name, there are a large number of people who have played the game and recognize the titles. Give people the chances to come and play the game for kicks and for fun (especially for free with no obligation) and you'll attract a good number of people. With enough time, you'll find out who the people are that play the game for kicks and others that have a bit more competitive spirit. Throw in some cool tricks that the games have to offer and the notion that people play tournaments and those people might get more interested for the long haul.
Besides, there are other incentives anyway. Meeting lots of people. Having fun playing smash with new people. Running these events would show possible leadership/organizational/people skills for job applications and other applicable areas.
If there are people who end up being more competitive players, then that's great. If not, its still fun to get regular casual stuff going.

although the organizing feels nightmarish sometimes

The thing about administrative stuff is that you need to be REALLY forceful. It's like herding cats sometimes. People want to just do whatever and sometimes you need to roll up your sleeves and tell them what's what. Also, just be confident. If you act like you're in control and know what you're doing people won't question you. /life secrets

Playing smash competitively is a huge commitment, not just a mindset. The single largest barrier to entering the scene is tech skill. Learning each of the many techniques to the point that they are just muscle memory takes a long time, and I don't really think smash club is a very good place for this. With 3-5 setups and at least 10 members at each meeting, nobody really wants to give up a setup so some dude can practice L canceling for an hour.
Most people don't have enough time to spare to acquire a working level of tech skill, or at least they don't want to spend so much time on something without really understanding what their efforts will bring them.

No wonder so few people play in WI anymore. lol

he's right though. i joined in '06 but my first tourney was in '09. the only reason i was able to improve relatively quickly after joining the scene was because i got most of my tech skill down during the previous 3 years. then i could just focus on learning the spacing and mental aspects of the game.

omg, john why are you still up, :D.
I'm not sure if their will be anymore "new" players for smash (melee). like maybe (a very strong maybe) the new smash game will be fun and be a tournament game....Idk, I have no idea what will happen to melee after I'm done with school or in 5 years. Makes me wonder.....

wait a second... if sanchaz can play at our level, then maybe there's no tech skill barrier after all
