Don't tournaments usually run on players loaning their consoles? What part of the setups is expensive?

Don't tournaments usually run on players loaning their consoles? What part of the setups is expensive?

Gamerheadz has like 3 or 4 melee/P:M wiis of their own which makes melee/P:M easy to run. I don't know how many, if any, wii u set-ups they have, but they would most likely have to rely on the players.

The issue with asking players for wii u setups is just how expensive they are. At the U of M weeklies we've been having (monthly this Saturday!) there's been a lot of trouble with getting people to bring in their set-ups. People don't wanna risk a $500 set-up.

 

[MidnightAsaph]

I see. So any Wii U action is probably going to be friendlies between only a few people, at least for now. How is the smash scene out here? I just moved a year ago from the MDVA region, so I managed to play some cool guys like ChuDat. I wasn't expecting much.

Wednesday friendlies don't happen anymore. Tournaments start at 6 PM on Thursdays to accommodate peoples' work schedules. Technically in Edina, not Bloomington.

I know no news of Smash 4, but the biggest issue with that is how expensive set-ups are. Someone would have to talk to Kordell about this.

Oh, Kordell told me it was just for that week.

Why is it that threads dedicated to Minnesota are so inconsistent?

[J-V-I]

That doesn't answer my question.

What? What are you talking about?

 

[Basic_Long]

Hi, I have played Smash Bros games for 8 years, but just recently started trying to get better for competitive. I live in Minnetonka, MN, and I want to get started in tournaments, but there are never any near by. Help! I play little melee, and lot Sm4sh Wii u.

 

[J-V-I]

Yeah I never see Minnesota tournaments listed in the Midwest Sub-Forum...

Yo, I'm from Minnetonka. I mostly play PM and Melee. Are you part of the Minnesota facebook group? Triple R does a good job of keeping the tournament listing at the top updated, there's usually a couple things per week.

Do you still host tournaments? I'm actually quite interested

 

[Sp0nge]

Hey guys, I'm moving to Saint Paul for college in about a month. I want to get back into smash since the last two years I had school and couldn't make locals on thursday nights. Hoping my schedule allows me to play more.

I have a question though: Which competitive scene is bigger, Melee or Smash 4? Honestly I enjoy both games but I don't want to devote double the time to practice both games at once, I'd rather just stick to one and practice that.

 

[Casey Chase]

I feel kinda weird bumping this thread but are there any people who go to U of M Twin Cities who can play Smash? I'm hella sad since I accidentally deleted my Brawl ISO and getting one using the campus ethernet seems a bit iffy. My dreams of PM Netplay died with my hope of playing Smash 4 on college wifi lmao

The only people I've found so far wanted to organize a tournament that uses FFAs and items and I'm not about that life. somebody save me

 

[BrotherNeR0]

20 bucks says in a brawl tournament I can knock Mew2king off his throne

 

[BrotherNeR0]

Why are there no more smash tourneys near Shakopee I need some here
