MELEE-FC10R Legacy...is done!

[Tink]

im confused at where ppl thinking local housing is coming from? im FROM INDIANA, and the onlyyyy smashers i know that are in south bend are the kishes 0_o. there might be a few more, but there will NOT be much free housing for this...so plan accordingly

 

[Nintendude]

Holy **** smashers are cheap as hell. This is basically a 3+ day vacation where you are only paying $85 + discounted hotel + transportation for a national tournament. A single day at Six Flags will cost you about that much, and tournaments for other games such as chess routinely cost over $100. I understand we are all mostly high school / college aged but c'mon, you have 3 months to scrape together this money and you really are getting more than your money's worth.

 

[Sweet™]

Well, if I'm paying for entry to all the tournaments, might as well do 'em and have fun.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

flightes to chicago from orlando are 200 dollars.

oh ****.

 

[Omnigamer]

Remember that busses, trains, and carpooling are always options too. Can't guarantee that they'll be much cheaper, but I recall many epic smash travel stories for such transportation.

 

[Juggleguy]

200 dollars is pretty damn good for a summer flight of any kind.

 

[Xtra]

right!! its going to be killer! im just as frugal with my budget as the next (although my budget includes expensive things that dont need to be on there) but there is NO way...in HELL...im comming without spending cash! i can relate to cashing in change and living pay check to pay check but common!! for many of us this is like a dream vacation with u'r fav celebrities! u'r not gonna want too miss it! and yah...its months away. my only concern is reserving a room in time. are they projected to run out?

 

[KishSquared]

No, they won't be running out anytime soon, but there is a limit on how long the discount lasts.

And yeah... $200 for a flight sounds amazing. Just imagine driving at $5/gallon this summer o_0

 

[KishPrime]

Was he posting that as a bad thing or a good thing? <_< I was actually looking for $200 tix to go to TG6 and couldn't find any.

We are indeed ahead of the game to have everything up tonight, just in case anyone was curious. It will be done.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

the worst part about this $200 flight is that i'm scared it'll run away on me since i don't have the money for it yet.

might have to get someone to spot me until i gather up enough money for it from plasma donations.

 

[MonkUnit]

Ticket prices fluctuate a lot, so it's best to get them now rather than later.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

which is why i'm scared, because i can't <_<

 

[Omnigamer]

Double up on the plasma donations, bro.

Spoiler

Please don't.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

i may have to. unless someone helps me lol

 

[KishPrime]

Alright, website updated, new rules updated in the information packet, registration live and we are READY TO GO.

Check:
www.meleefc.com

We're kicking off with a Race to 50. If we get 50 people registered by June 1, all of them get a free FC-Legacy t-shirt. The t-shirts are made by the same company that did the old shirts, so they'll be great adds to your FC-wear collection...if you actually have the old ones.

So sign up now, and get your friends to do it, too! Let's make this into the best Smash event of the summer!

 

[standardtoaster]

Registered! :D

Also, it says mini-tvs are not allowed? It says anything less than 15 inches is a "mini tv".If this is the case this will cut down the amount of tvs we can bring from 5 or 6 to 2.

Are 14" tvs allowed?

 

[KishPrime]

Eh, close enough. To be honest, I never measured...meant to do that and forgot. I'll check and see.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Funny rule change. Teams lookin like it'll get janked out of this world haha.

Great looking site. =)

 

[standardtoaster]

We have 3 19", 2 14", and 1 9". Are all of them allowed to be used or only the ones that are 14" and up?

 

[KishPrime]

You can feel free to bring the other, but I don't know that we can't really run tournament matches on it (and thus, credit the $5). Especially teams. We've got to have a minimum size for that reason alone - teams is a huge part of the tournament as well.

 

[Bieber]

I know I'm a newb but I think this new ruleset looks amazing. I'm really excited for FC

 

[KishSquared]

Also, it says mini-tvs are not allowed? It says anything less than 15 inches is a "mini tv".

Seems to make sense, small TVs are small.

Are 14" tvs allowed?

Hmmmm... probably not... 14 is smaller than 15, after all.

Eh, close enough.

What the!?

 

[standardtoaster]

Okay then. I'll bring them all anyway. If some of them can't be used then that's fine.

 

[Strong Badam]

Bring 20 TVs, Adam

 

[Fregadero]

I looked at all the pictures I could, but I'm guessing that there are no TVs in the hotel rooms, CRTs or otherwise. I'd like to have at least 1 set up in the room with us, but would I be able to bring it into our room after the venue closes?

I have 2 full set ups, but I don't know if I want to commit both if I can't have one in the room.

 

[MonkUnit]

There does seem to be a TV in the room, but it is not a CRT. It looks like it is an LCD in the wall.

 

[Fregadero]

Guess I didn't look at them all lol

Yeah that won't do. I plan on staying up until 4 every night getting drunk and challenging people to money matches that I'll loose. I need a set up

 

[Juggleguy]

The recent post I'm about to show you guys should be all the motivation you need to pay your damn $85 and attend this tourney.

A couple points on registration.

The entry box for email address is too restricted allowing for only 25 characters.

What qualifies as a Project M-capable Wii? Is the Project M event going to be using the current demo version? I would think so but can't find anywhere that explicitly states it.

 

[MonkUnit]

A Project M-capable Wii would be a Wii that can use the disc channel to launch Brawl and use smash stack to launch Project M Demo 2.

 

[standardtoaster]

Or Gecko OS to launch it.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

If I bring a wii setup; do you have to bring the sensor bar and wiimote? or are you guys going to have that covered?

 

[KishSquared]

No need to bring a Wiimote or sensor bar

EDIT: We're working with StrongBad and the P:M team to lock in on a version of P:M for FC. Details to come on that.

 

[KishPrime]

Sorry for the mixed messages - hacked Wiis are technically fine. Using USBLoaders and/or running pirated games is not.

 

[baka4moé]

on registration, do we pay at the door? maybe im just technologically slow but i seem to have missed if we're paying online or otherwise. as in, we can register now and pay later? or..

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Srsly, email, 25 char limit. What do?

 

[standardtoaster]

Baka, you pay online.

 

[KishSquared]

Your email is more than 25 characters??

Can you make a temp Gmail account and use that? :/

 

[KishPrime]

We'll get that fixed...working on it right now.

EDIT: Should be fixed now, up to 50.

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Damn, Kishes got everything covered.
