I gotta go to this, more than likely I'll enter 1v1, low tier and crews If I get drafted =/ So yea, I'll bring yoshi out of retirement (again), I'll try to practice so I dont suck (more than usual =p) for this tournament. Hope to see some old faces again.

Peace.

Hey, TGP admin, can you tell me how many members you need in the crew for the crew battles?

And can you tell me what VGCB means?

You can have between 4-6 people for a crew

4 people- each person gets 5 stock
5 people- each person gets 4 stock
6 people- 4 people get3 stock, 2 people get 4 stock

VGCB = Video Game Cover Band AKA best band in the world.

Thanks

hmm... any way the crew battle could be moved to earlier? If not, we may have to miss it... Slim still has his junior license, have to get home by 11:00... We'll try to stay as long as we can anyway, though. We might have to end up leaving before we get knocked out. lol

Powerdolphin, we should do some peach dittos next time I see you... It's been awhile...

Anyway, looks like we're coming. If all goes well, our crew will bring
myself
the melon
slim
beefwhistle
da supe
and maybe jiggsco and confoetoe if they can go. Possibly a few new members, could be a lot of us there!

I agree with umbra. I can only stay out until 11:00 so if things drag on then we might not be able to stay for the crew battles. So, TGP Admin, do you think you can move the crew battles to an earlier time?

And can you tell me if dinner is free....? Just so i know to bring enough money with me

Thanks!!!!!

We are looking foward to having between 60-70 smashers and over 300 gamers!!!!

That number can easily grow as people let me know if they are coming.

Thanks

Man... I suck so hard now... I haven't played in so long.

I still think I'll come, maybe I'll play some Magic and enter in the SSBM tourney. We'll see... I think I'm due to visit you guys though so I'll probably be there and I'll drag my girlfriend with me.
