July 7 and 14 are not good dates seeing as FC is coming up on the 12-14, but we'll see what happens for the other weekends.

Can we get some details on time and location?

[SCOTU]

yeah, Detroit has a bunch of bad times, first it overlaps w/ Andrew's smashfest on the 7th, then w/ FC, then w/ smashtacular III, but the fourth one's good for me

 

[Randizzle]

Ford Rd. in Canton. That's pretty close to me. Might consider that one.

 

[Laijin]

Who won these?

Edit: Oh. They have not started .__.

 

[Scythe]

why are all in michigan?

 

[Jermesque]

I'll probably be at the 14th, 21st, and 28th smashes.

 

[Anther]

North Michigan too XD.
That's good for you Bigy =p.


I think for some reason I'd prefer to go to the AA Smashfest instead of the tourney on the 7th.

 

[Dr.Dojo]

I just won the tournament that went on yesterday. But to be honest only 4 kids showed up and it was a joke. It only got alittle challenging in the finals where i fought my friend who i play everyday with. But hey got a free trip to Dallas.

 

[kerploplesteesh]

these events sound fun. More people should go

 

[SmooveG]

Important MGC / Michigan location change for July 14!

MGC had to change the location for Week 2, we're going to be back at the Week 1 location:

McDonald's 50 W. Nine Mile Hazel Park MI 48030

If you were planning on coming out to Bloomfield Hills, please note the change. Should be back on track for Weeks 3 and 4.

 

[legoexpo]

well. . . . i'll probably go with a buddy of mine. . . and if only a handful of kids show up. . . i dont mind a free ticket.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

omg something i can win while everyone else is in fc!

 

[King Malice]

omg something i can win while everyone else is in fc!

You seem to forget a few people who are staying behind to defend the fort.

 

[legoexpo]

oh come on king . . go enjoy yourself at FC.

I'm sure you dont need to waste your time defending anything.

 

[King Malice]

It is a little too late for that. You're stuck with me.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

quick question

"The MGC team will be at the following locations to demo the tournament games and other games from MGC partners."


does that mean there will be set ups of the games available for play but no tournament?

Correct. No tourneys at the demo stops. Just walk up and play.

 

[legoexpo]

we need a guardian/parent to come with us if we're under 18??

. . . kinda lame.

EDIT

Are we banned from playing without a guardian/parent??

 

[Hot_ArmS]

we need a guardian/parent to come with us if we're under 18??

oh that is lame

 

[-PM-]

this wasnt that good =/ i went and there was so many cheap people there and a bunch of noobs that didnt know what they were doing

 

[legoexpo]

so . . .who won?

 

[-PM-]

this kid name gary >.> fat and uses shiek like a noob and rolls way to much and went up against a noob ganon for the win =/ and there was little kids there >=[

 

[Dr.Dojo]

dude if youre so good and they are all "noobs"...then why didnt you win?

 

[-PM-]

well normal tournament rules you cant change character if you lose and so i didnt he switched to shiek and i was mario i think we know what happens next

and for one the tournament you went to had like no one in it like pretty much 10 people and the fact that...

YOU DIDNT BEAT ANYONE GOOD FROM MI for crying out loud look up all the good people in MI not one of them were there so you stfu that tourney was a ****ing joke and so are you Mr. shiek

 

[Dr.Dojo]

i dont deny it, i got mega lucky. but you have no right to say im a joke cause im pretty sure you didnt play me, and if you did it was in 4 player free for all and that doesnt show any kind of skill. so quit your cryin

 

[legoexpo]

s'ok. just go to firebrand's in southfield. that'll be more professional anyways.

Hey, PM, Dojo isn't bragging about skill or anything. But it's no good to keep calling Sheik players noobs when you keep losing to them. If you can't handle a ****ing character who doesn't even have her own character selection box that's nobody else's fault. I find it significant that you mentioned he went Sheik against your Mario (Mario doesn't have a TERRIBLE matchup against Sheik) but didn't say what happened for the third round... you know, the one where you get to pick your character?

Oh wow. Appearently someone must really suck at this game. If you can't fight one of the most used characters in the game, then obviously you have no skill what so ever at this game and need to quit. In the finals of my MGC tournament, I took down a Sheik player with Young Link(With Laggy TVs. So I could'nt do much of anything). But that goes to show the difference in our skill. Obviously you completely suck compared to me if I can beat a character that completely counters mine, while you struggle against a character that has a rather fair match up against Sheik. So you have no space to call someone garbage because you can't beat them.

And whats this about calling someone fat and a n00b? Dood. Obviously your a much bigger n00b because you lost to a n00b. Its a simple as that.
Just quit the game already plz.

 

[-PM-]

all the high tier characters take skill except shiek thats all im saying =P

 

[petre]

all the high tier characters take skill except shiek and all other high tier characters when played at a noob level thats all im saying =P

there, thats better.

 

[Anomic_Punk]

all the characters take skill

That's MUCH better.

Except Falco. I hate Falcos.
T_T

 

[-PM-]

a good falco takes alot of skill but hands down fox takes the most

 

[faithlocket]

if i get owned quick enough at smashtacular, i might try to run over there this saturday. What is the entry fee?

 

[SmooveG]

No entry fee! That's why we need to get the word out and support these guys...

 

[Dre the Ace]

Is that July 21st date still set in stone?

 

[SmooveG]

Is that July 21st date still set in stone?

July 21 and July 28th... as set in stone as you can be...

 

[Laijin]

Thats all personal opinion dood.
IMO, Young Link takes the most amount of skill to learn. Then Falco and then Fox. Falco takes a lot more work to play with than Fox does.

 

[-PM-]

yea Ylink does take alot of skill to learn i agree with you there but fox is just so much more technical to use so wouldnt that mean hes harder to use then falco?
