Oh crap I forgot about that. What happened? LOL

Edit: Su's telling me about it now. Stages were Final Destination, Dreamland, Fountain of Dreams, and Battlefield. 3 Stocks instead of 4. Tournament was single elimination. Adaias got 2nd, Su got owned first round haha

Edit 2: I'm sadly can't afford anything right now so I'm gonna have to pass on going to Concord.

Edit 3: I think I'm gonna start hosting tournaments again. I found a really nice venue. It's not perfect but it's got 4 large LCD TVs and a few couches plus a ton of open space. It's quite a bit nicer than Kriers since it's about twice the size and they already have a bunch of various games and consoles there. The owners are actively looking for someone to host tournaments there because they want people to come in and potentially buy stuff. The only downside is that it's in manteca so it's not quite as close for most people in the area. Like Kriers though, it's also a card shop and they get about 40 people every saturday for the various card game tournaments they host. They assured me that quite a few people would be interested in umvc3 and street fighter tournaments if I hosted them, so if I decided to do that I could probably get some pretty good numbers. I'm sure there'd be some people interested in smash as well. Anyway, I'm thinking about hosting a bunch of random tournaments there, possibly as soon as next month. Tell me what you guys think and if you'd be interested in going if I did.

basically everyone played peach and samus because it was IMPOSSIBLE to play any other character reliably. Even I played peach most of my games. I brought out fox as a counterpick on battlefield a couple of times LOL. I had to play like 4 peaches / samuses. It was just terribad overall. Su tried playing marth and he got destroyed for it LOL. I practiced marth a bit but it was just all bad. I couldn't even short hop laser with fox. It just didn't work. DADS metagame tournament right there

The video I linked pretty much sums up how the games played out.

I'll go to these. I'm probably going to start playing magic the gathering too so I'm going to clean up both Krier's and Manteca if possible

I'm going to see if I can find a day I can host a smashfest or something at my house. Just have to pick a day where my family's out doing something so that it's not too hectic with all these little kids since I'm the oldest one.

it's not about manning up, it's about me being flaky about playing smash at a tournament :D

i'd do it for sure...................no really i would lol

wow if it's in manteca, i might wind up playing against random manteca high schoolers. who might or might not be in one of my classes at one point...? that'd be funny for sure

Yeah Magic's entry is like $200-300 dollars which is something I can manage by selling some of my yugioh stuff that I dont need to enter tournaments.

As for inviting people over, it'll probably happen some time before thanksgiving.

It's pretty hard to convince people who don't have the will to go through any means to get better especially when the expected value is negative for the event. You two have a good chance of earning something back while we don't.

I'm busy all this week, I would have gone just for friendlies or whatever though.

see, the reason why i said that is cuz i'd be willing to drive if i decided to go too

the smash minivan legend needs to be reborn

but i'm not sure whether i'd want to or not (it'd only be worth it if at least 3 other modesto ppl wanted to go)

if i went i'd enter for sure though. no reason to skimp out just to save like ten bucks, gotta play people and meet other tournament players and friendlies are great but paying to go 0-2 or 1-2 is totally worth it to have serious sets against ppl you've never played before. that's the most exciting kind of melee

Jr has the spirit to win. I'm slowly going to get into MTG cause its expensive. I got the money, but ill probably just wait for ebay deals and what not until I finish my jund deck. I wanted to build it even before it rose back up again. Made me sad that some of the cards for it tripled in price :(
