Q.Q Darn! Uhm, Funny you should ask.. Tonight is totally possible. Headed up towards Angel fire tomorrow so Staying in albuquerque just makes sense. Any of you ABQ smashers free tonight ??

 

[wraith55]

Just got back into smash and i'm learning how to play again. I'm being play a lot brawl and just download Project M and trying out and have been enjoying it. i am about too get a copy of melee in a couple days. I live in Albuquerque. If anyone is down too train and help me learn the game just let me now. I'm always open too learning any of the games.

Hey dude! Welcome to the smash scene here. We mostly play Melee and some Project M, I don't know much about the Brawl scene, I think Napos is the only one who still plays (that isn't moving away). I have personally been extremely busy lately, but we have events every so often and you'd be more than welcome to come to stuff. If you PM me your phone number I will give it to Neil, he's the one who organizes these kinds of things.

 

[tekkie]

im gonna be at nolan's tomorrow, i'm sure he'll let other people come over for brawl

EDIT: i'm gonna pimp out the fact that since i'm moving i'm cleaning out my stuff and selling stuff

[Tsuteto]

Hey all, Tsuteto here from the Utah SLC area. Our regional FGC Salt Fest is coming up! Here's some key information for y'all about Salt Fest currently:​

​

*It'll be running on May 17th and 18th (That's a Saturday / Sunday)​

*Pre-registration will start December 1st at $20. Essentially each month from there it will only go up, so get your tickets then (site will be updated that day to purchase tickets).​

*It will probably be at the same exact location as last time.​

​

It's still in early planning, so we are working out other aspects, such as whether smash will be over just one day or two, pot bonuses, smash entry fee, etc. More than happy to get information released as soon as that's set, but I'm going to just avoid speculation for now.​

​

I'll be over seeing the Smash Bros competition for it this year, and wanted to get some opinions and what you'd like to see done for it competition wise. Essentially, I'd love to hear who's interested in:​

​

*Melee Singles​

*Melee Doubles​

*Brawl Singles​

*Brawl Doubles​

*Project: M Singles​

*Project: M Doubles​

​

Let me know! I'll be checking back and stuff ​

 

[tw1n]

Seetoe. Pending time and more importantly money, we may try to some day
Also everyone, the next Melee/P:M tourney is on December 14th at Gamers Anonymous on the West Side. Sign ups start at 1. Teams will go first this time around.

 

[Napos]

Men, ive joined the Navy.

Ill be in Chicago until feb, then CT after
For the people that played with me, thank you!
Fair winds and calm sails..

 

[Tsuteto]

Hey all, Tsuteto from Utah here!
Salt Fest registration is open! So go register and take advantage of the early bird special (or the SUPER early bird special that's only for the first 20 people, of which half is gone)! There will be Melee, Brawl, and Project M over the weekend, both singles and teams.
If you are doing TEAMS, then please keep in mind only ONE person needs to sign up for you and your teammate. I will gather teammate info at the tournament or just prior to the whole event.
Plenty of time to start practicing! I'm sure you've got a number of local tourneys between now and then, and we have things like APEX before hand to study your characters on (or your competition)! Let's get HYPE!
www.saltfest.org

I know time and money can be a pain, but I'm hoping this 4 months advanced noticed can help plan out some of that

 

[tw1n]

Bye Napos. Take care and be safe.

 

[Sir Skaro]

Is anyone here going to Cruces Con in April?

 

[tekkie]

literally everything that has the words "las cruces" in the title in any way is absolute **** and completely embarrassing to everyone involved

edit: i'm not wasting this post. VICTOR IF YOU SEE THIS KICK ASS AT WHATEVER YOU DO YOU WERE AWESOME AND KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE NMICANS

 

[Sir Skaro]

inb4 someone from Cruces takes Apex

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

that would require someone from Cruces to attend Apex

How is the scene in LC nowadays btw?

 

[Sir Skaro]

I'm not as involved with the LC scene as I could be, but that's because I'm going to school and have a job. There are biweekly meetings at the university, but no regular tournaments really. Cruces Con is the only up coming tournament I know about, and I'm going to enter. I don't know if you know RPG (his real name is Mario), but he's ranked #1 in LC. Unfortunately I think he's starting to step off the scene. I took a Project M tournament he held where I played him twice (he came back from losers) and also beat the #2 (RNG) and he seems very excited that I joined the scene. S/O to him, I wouldn't know that there was a scene if I hadn't of randomly met him and he's inspired me quite a bit. He wants me to play tw1n, and I've heard a good amount about tw1n so I'm excited to play him if we get a chance. I personally think I'll get bodied, but I think it'll be fun so it's k. So the scene in LC isn't dead, but it's not that active either. I wish it was more active.

When I say ranked, I mean Project M rankings. RPG is also #1 for Melee and RNG is #1 for Brawl.

 

[tekkie]

first of all, cruces is incredibly free. if you want to prove otherwise you'll have to make the trip to abq. almost no one's ever done it because, as i said, cruces is free.

second, http://smashboards.com/threads/new-...ts-miss-the-rain.76313/page-632#post-15336507

everything to come out of las cruces' only "tournament organizer" has been an absolute failure. lying, screwing people out of money, boasting about things that never happened, not running advertised events, the works.

at this point, no one cares what's going on in LC anymore. that reputation is tarnished until a real TO starts running tournaments.

abq has monthlies. if you want to play in a real competitive scene you'll have to make the drive.

 

[Sir Skaro]

Well, I won't argue with you, but I don't see any need for you to be so nasty about it. I'm just a guy that's new to the community, likes to play the game, and happens to live in a place where there isn't much of a scene. You're not helping people get involved by being audacious like this. You may have problems with Cruces, and I'm sorry about that, but I have nothing to do with your issues with Cruces. You'll probably find that I'm the polar opposite of anyone you've met from Cruces (at least, I found myself much different from everyone I've met in this scene, concerning physical traits and character). I can't stop you from discriminating against the Cruces scene, and there may be plenty of reasons to why you do so, but I'd personally like to put that all behind us and stand on good grounds. I didn't come here to boast or make people angry, I came here to make friends, play, and get better at a game I've loved for a little over a decade. If I have even inconvenienced you in any way, just let me know and I'll apologize, but please don't automatically attribute to me that "tarnished reputation." I don't mind if you don't like Cruces, but I feel like we got off on the wrong foot and I'd like to try to fix that. And I would go to those monthlies, but I can't them

 

[tekkie]

i dont even live in nm anymore lol

but there's plenty of history to the issues with LC and you need to know that that's who your dealing with. it isn't an issue with *you*, but if you're asking abq people to drive down to LC i doubt that'll ever happen again

assuming there is a tournament, and people enter, and the winners get money, go wreck everyoneand make bank

and get to abq eventually, everyone there is cool

Don't take it personally. I wish relations were better off, but there's not much LC can do about it now. If you're interested in playing melee, El Paso has a solid scene. I've been playing with them for the past 2 months and they get a crowd of 10-15 every week. There was a tourney this past weekend that brought in 28 entrants.

 

[Sir Skaro]

I'm sorry Cruces has that reputation. Well, now I know.

I'm more into Project M than Melee. Mostly because my Melee disc isn't reliable. Does El Paso have a PM scene?

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

I have the original demo on my wii, but haven't played it in a while. There is talks about a PM tournament since 3.0 came out. Most people who play Melee don't mind giving PM a try

 

[Seetoe]

Hey Skaro, I'm in Alamogordo but I've been playing with the EP guys for a while. They play everything (melee, brawl, and PM, even heard about possible 64) and they're a solid group of good guys. They have smashfests just about every saturday.

If you ever want to play PM or Melee I have both over here, and there's a very tiny scene here in Alamo, no tournies just little get togethers.

Also, I've heard about the reputation LC Smash has and I skipped it and went straight to EP.
