BigLou and myself will be attending MLG Hawaii '09-'10 for Mario Party 4.


We both got invites to attend this highly-acclaimed event, and since we are both sponsored by MLG, our plane tickets are free. Rayku also got invited but he declined the invitation since he's rusty and didn't want to make a bad showing. Lounis (BigLou) and I will be flying there tonight at 8 PM. Pools start tomorrow morning at 9 AM and will continue until next Monday. The entire tournament will hopefully finish within 2 weeks. There are 71,000 pools. The top 2 out of 4 people will make it out of the pool and be seeded into the next round of pools based on the amount of stars and coins they won previously. There is an estimated 1,500 rounds of pools to go through, and then will be seeded into a 512-man bracket.

The competition for MLG Hawaii is said to be the most fierce ever since '85 when Lounis and SleepyK's Brother were in Grand Finals competing for 19.85 million dollars. SleepyK's Brother took the win using his superior Korean powers. SleepyK's Brother decided to retire at that point and left Lounis in 25 years of salt. Now SleepyK's Brother has decided to come out of retirement and the grand showdown is at it again. The hype of these two top competitors has caught the attention of MILLIONS. The competition will be harder than ever since the winner gets 20.1 million dollars and receives access to the Mario Party 4 VIP Lounge. The only other people in the VIP Lounge include: Hidetoshi Endo (main developer of Mario Party 4), and Endo's wife, Hojo Masako. The other top competitors are APod, FoDrizzle, and DMac, none of which are any match for Lounis or SleepyK's Brother. These two are like the Isai of competitive Mario Party 4.

Recent picture of DMac:

BBQ (left) and Rayku (middle). I'm showing QDVS how fiercely competitive Mario Party 4 is at Tipped Off 5.

SleepyK's Brother


And APod


Lounis has recently discovered a new meditation method to help 10-fold his technical skill and mindgaming ability. Lounis, the underdog, will hopefully win.
I will hopefully make it out of the tremendous amount of pools and get into the 512-man bracket.

I beilieve in my honest opinion that I have been working much harder (as has bbq), then anyone that will be attending this event. Hopefully I pull out on top this time, as I feel that I am favored to win this event. I may start my meditation early, as to enhance myself at optical performance.

People would have immediatly known it was a joke then, because mario party 5 is a party game, and would not be taken into mlg by any means, unlike mario party 4.

Yeah, DMac is a threat, but his mindgames are subpar. And online Mario Party 4 is not a good way to money match. 1 frame of lag is waaaay too much for a game that takes frame-perfect timing for 95% of the minigames and board control.

I want to elaborate on Jamaal's comment. I retired from wifi play a loooong time ago, I need no lag to able to contend at all. My play revolves around a non laggy enviroment, a game as technical as mp4 cannot be played on any frame of lag.

*BBQ on my way now for real.

Good Luck guys! I heard Ken is making a comeback to the scene. Don't let him have his way with you in the rapid A pressing mini games.

Hey guys, I'm on the plane wifi. the internet is horrible lol.

Thanks Mike G!

And yeah, Ken actually won a Mario Party 4 tournament. I think it was MLG Chicago. He only won because -literally- no other top players showed up. But he's still really good lol. If he's coming to MLG Hawaii then I expect him to get at least top 32.

Laijin- They're closing off the island for this event. The possibility of that happening is like... impossible lol. The security guards check to make sure everyone has their invitation with them.

This would be better if Anthony paid attention to what I say every once in a while and didn't get the top professionals' names mixed up.

A.B.
P-Mac
D. Smith

are the real top 3 competitors. BBQ just doesn't like to listen.

LOL. Those pros are washed up. They are still decent though. Top 17 material, I'd say.

No, you just misheard them because you don't listen to what I say, and made up your own pros that don't really exist.

A.B. will f*ck you up

Hey guys. We got to the venue last night around 1:30 AM (East Coast Time) to register (8:30 PM Hawaii Time). I was able to take some pics of the venue




These are all the employees registering people on their computers to make the lines go faster




Pools start in 30 minutes! Wish us luck!!

Post as to what is currently going on, bbq(anthony) almost overslept and caused us to miss the opening ceremony of this amazing event. There is hype beyond belief atm, I haven't seen everyone I remember from '85, but this is just the first day, pools are about to start now(don't forget timezones are really off). So I won't be back to update until quite some time, but we will do our best to rep GA as well as our fellow smash brothers.

Competition is really rough. I got 2nd seed in almost all my rounds of pools so far (4 rounds). Lounis has been dominating. He got 16 stars one round and would've made it to 20 but he started sandbagging and was just goofing off in the wheel of screwality, handing out his stars.
