Melee, kid, you're in the big leagues now.

Who the **** lets party games into a fighting game tournament?
We need more good photoshoppers on SWF.

the game aint in me no more
I've been out of the game for a while now, and I'm sure most of you don't know who I am, but it's been such a joy watching this drive grow and grow over the past few weeks. There was a point when the smash community was everything to me, and even though I haven't been to a tournament in years it still means the world. You guys came up big when it mattered and more importantly than getting to EVO you raised almost $100k for charity.
It's absolutely incredible, and anyone that helped out at all, whether its donating $1000 or $1 or just sharing the drive with your friends, should be proud to be a part of this.

Congrats guys, I'll see you at EVO.

I lost my step mother to the disease, and I've never been prouder of the community.

We now officially have exposure, a possibly unprecedented amount of it. We now must plan ahead to ensure the impression we leave is the best of us. Remember, publicity on this scale could, to some extent, be a double edged sword if not handled appropriately.

IMO, there should be a whole thread about how everybody should present themselves from here on out and at Evo 2013.

Hey Scarrrrrr, what do you think about meeting up with Ultradavid and James Chen for a session going over Melee on one of their shows?

Here's their twitch page: http://www.twitch.tv/ultrachentv
Here's their twitter pages: https://twitter.com/jchensor & https://twitter.com/ultradavid
Here's their facebook group for their show(s): http://www.facebook.com/UltraChenTV
Here's their twitter for their show(s): https://twitter.com/UltraChenTV

And finally here's some examples where they had demonstrated other games to players unfamiliar with it by having someone from their community join them on the show:

Soul Calibur V
Skullgirls
Virtua Fighter

You don't have to watch all of them, but checking out a few minutes of each to get a gist of what they do in them would be a good idea before you talk to them.

I would REALLY like to see this happen. It would be such good timing and a great way to get people hyped for Smash and I'm sure as hell they would be up for it. They both live in Cali by the way.

Wow, it seems like Scar is essentially becoming the face of our community. That's really cool.

I'm glad he's better looking than PP, too. He's definitely making our community look nice.

Scar you should try and get Justin Wong(or another high level player) on the show and talk to him bout his opinions on the game and such.

The smash lab 2 is currently live over at @twitch.tv/bobby_scar

oh and I got banned from the chat because during the donation drive when the chat was insane I wrote "anyone wanna do a skype chat so you can actually discuss something?" ONCE and which there came nothing from...

scar took this as me trying to rebel...

So, tonight is another episode? I assume it's going to talk about us winning and going to Evo etc.

In light of that, ya'll should talk about Road to Evo stuff. Like, the fact we're not going to be at UFGT9 or CEO. However, we are going to be at Winter Brawl 7 (this should be heavily mentioned tonight so more awareness is brought to it since it was confirmed on such short notice). We missed SCR but we still have NCR (NorCal Regionals) as a possibility to have Melee there. Stuff like that. What can we expect to do if we're not going to be at the other Evo qualifiers... like how will top players get seeding points for the Evo bracket.

And also mention Evo will likely be bracket pools.

Just some food for thought, I guess.

Ooooh, I wonder if that has anything to do with Valle's tease from last week...

Possibility of Melee at Wednesday Night Fights?
