Hello everyone, my name is Greg. I’m a long time lurkers on the boards, never quite participated in anything. I looked online to find some people to play with casually, and I figured that this would be the best opportunity to get involved in the smash community.

Anyways, I would like to get some people in saline to smash this Friday. I was thinking opening up at 6, and doing a singles tourney at 9. A 5 dollar entry fee will cover the tourney with 60\30\10% going to the winners.

The location is:

Greg Robertson
829 Valley Circle Drive
Apt. 101
Saline, MI 48176
734.717.8053

Feel free to call with any questions.


I have 2 tv’s, wii, and cube, but would appreciate more equipment.

If there is interest\enough people, I’d like to turn it into a weekly thing. I’m open to do this event any weekday after 5\on the weekends.





UPDATE (sort of)

I am pretty sure we are going to stick with Friday, starting at 6. Everyone seems like they can make that (besides Scotu) besides a few, who make it sound liek they would be missing Sunday as well.

Do you guys wanna have a tourney? I have no idea how many people to expect. I know that I'm going to need some cubes. I have a 32" tv, and a 19" lcd at my place.





Update Again

Definately going to need chairs\cubes\smash\memory cards. My second gamecube dissapeared.

I'm getting all giddy about this.








Update again.

Just a few small notes:

1) Don't park in covered parking. There are tons of parking spots, but you can't park under a canopy, you'll get towed.

2) riveroaks drive is freaking impossible to find. Once on michigan ave, you have to turn left onto riveroaks drive. The road is around a subway\bp\party store, and before a bakery.

You don't have to run a tourney if you don't want to, but some ppl would prefer one. I myself can't make this on a weekday, (my sundays are still free). Advice for running a tourney: get tio.

Sounds fun, I'm prolly gonna go to this and then to Ito's the next day.

Not sure on Kail.

***Also, I can bring a gamecube, a tv (if needed), and a crap load of surge bars

Much appreciated 'bout the cube\tv.

I think the biggest concern right now is chairs. I got like 11 chairs + sittable totes, thats it.

are you going to this, andrew?

tony, are you going to be leaving from troy. if so, can you stop by my house on your way to ann arbor and give me a ride? if not, i can probably still drive myself.

if i go, i can bring a cube.

Oh, it would totally be awesome if you had some beverages/someone brought some.
Also what's the ending time/time you are kicking us out?

I will be visiting greggorob today for some quick friendlies, since it's about 20 minutes away from where I work. If anybody else has a similar idea, this will begin around 5 PM... bring a memory card, if you can.

Randy: I believe I will be at home tomorrow, meaning I will go there from Troy. If you and Anther want one, I will provide a ride. If I can go. Hopefully.

We gotta cut it short at like 630 though, 7 at the latest.

ok so i just read the first post, don't think i'm going to be able to go because i usually am doing other things around 9 but we'll see it'd be nice to start the tourney at like earlyish though.

maybe you could open at like 3 and start the tourney at 4 but i mean i have to go to work and **** early in the day could get off at like 2pm? and then maybe i could go but i dunno... 9pm is reserved for other activities im a midafternoon smash kinda guy but i guess thats just me

I think he gets off work around 5, that's why it has such a late start time most likely Sheepy. I mean, if hooking up with hot chicks and generally making the ladies happy while smoking the ganja is more important to you, then eff you and your lifestyle sheepy. You know who your true friends are... and just in case you don't, they're smahers. thank you ;[.

Welp, I just played Ankoku, who whooped my *** right well. I did beat his falcon (?), and his shiek... once.

Bout what I expected, hopefully someone tomorrow can teach me some moves.
