It's nothing new.

Also, I'm taking over for Erad again, because he is no good.

does this mean that only darE::to::Dream is going to retire from smash, and we'll still have Ankoku? Come on, tony, you can't just give up on the game. There is no good reason for you too.

Yeah, sorry lain, that was a bit over the top, but sometimes your cockyness is over the top as well. You did get mindgames'd though. Well, I'll see you later today.

Double post 'cause i wasn't logged in to edit the previous.

SmooveG: are you going to be attending any of these in MI? or are you just some generic account to advertise the tournies? Or just based out of some other state? I just randomly had a curiosity streak while being at work.

I was at the July 21st tournament in Canton, I have the hand blisters and sore back to prove it. :ohwell:

Won't be there this weekend as we have a tournament in Dallas that I'll be working. MGC has 4 tournaments going on simultaneously around the country- Little Rock, Salt Lake City, Flint, Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Norfolk will be next after this weekend!

Ricardo, the tournament manager, is the man though... he'll be running all the Michigan tourneys.

Are these worth going to? I've never heard of a tourny at a McDonalds before :-p

I think Columbus is going to be one of the upcoming locations.

It really isn't, unless you intend to win the trip to Dallas. The TVs for these qualifiers have around 10 frames of lag, and it's single elimination.

However, I see some names like Laijin and FASTLIKETREE going to the Dallas nationals.

who are these newbs laijin and fastliketree I keep hearing about? what do they matter to Smash brothers Melee? Pardon me while I fetch my slippers and my smokes as I laugh at the notion of 'laijin'(lounging?) around fast lazy trees.

edit: misunderstanding.

btw to the ppl wondering whether or not to go to MGC, the TVs are REALLY REALLY bad. I went to the one in dallas and holy **** u cant do anything with this lag it's unbelievable.

on the flip side first place gets a lot of money so the people who actually have a good chance of winning mgc finals like dope, tink, mathos, CK, darkrain, kish, vidjo etc. etc. you get the drill lol, you guys should probably think about going to one of these.

only problem is each city only has 4 qualifying tournaments where only 1st place is qualified, so only 4 of you all can make it to the finals.

but also keep in mind mgc finals will have NORMAL non-laggy tvs. they know about the problem. the only reason they can't change to regular tvs now is due to "fairness" reasons. like, apparently they have to keep the setups the same for everyone so nobody gets an "unfair" advantage. but they will change to regular tvs for finals so dont worry about that.

1st place MGC finals gets $3000, 2nd place gets $1000

I'm glad i practiced on Widescreen laggy TVs. My flashiness wasn't impacted very much. So to all you: TV JOHNS! Should've warmed up on them (if not practiced ahead of time). @dope: i'm sure you've played on worse TVs. For instance, some of the tvs in the friendlies room at FC were worse.
