@T O M: I looked into PCYC, their website doesn't have any prices on the venue hire page ;-; I was considering asking the school (St. Marys) about a free venue on the grounds, but it would be tough to actually get onto the premises. But it's not completely out of the picture. If we had it at Newcastle Uni, it would shift the responsibility of organising onto someone else [at the university] and I'd only do that if that someone was certain that they would deal with it accordingly. So yeah.

It's great to see you look into this, Luke, it must be quite a fair bit of travel each time. :o

lol luke travels like 4+ hours to everything. D:

GORDS - That is around the time I was planning on leaving myself, since late arrival = moar sleep beforehand = no sleeping during the meet = moar smash. How about we meet up on the train? Although I checked the timetable and according to it the train you're talking about leaves Central at 5:15... is there trackwork? If you want to meet up just tell me when to show, I'm good for any time, otherwise I'll see you there.

Probs won't bring anything other than my controller this time. Two Hunter meets in one week wears a man out.

I'm talking about the 4:04 train from campbelltown to city via granville, changing at strathfield for the 5:28 train to Newcastle stopping at hamiltn at 7:47. As far as I know there is no track work along this route.

Im still not sure if I am going yet, but I most likely will be. However I don't really want to travel so far for only a couple of hours of quality smash. I will need to stay the night somewhere and it would be awesome to samsh during the night as well. How many people are going to be there till Sunday. And can I get confirmation on accomadation. LOL.

I'll be staying till Sunday. It's not even possible to get back to Sydney by train after 8/9pm anyway...

Anyway yeah I thought you meant 4:04 from Central, if it's from Campbelltown that explains it. I'll be catching the Newcastle train you're talking about in that case, assuming you go I'll hopefully see you at Strathfield. Also please bring my double-adaptor, you forgot it at Don't Come. D:

the final word form tim:

Smashing will commence saturday morning
smashing will continue saturday until it is decided we start drinking
smashing while drunk will occur
people may/may not decide to sleep saturday night
people will definitely leave sunday before 12:30 as i have **** to do in the afternoon
melee will be more fun then brawl

if you decide to sleep
work out how to get home before sunday morning
bring a sleeping bag
melee will be more fun then brawl

if you decide to drink
you must participate in drinking games
you must spew outside
you must have a super awesome time
melee will be more fun then brawl

if you decide to play low tier characters
you will be applauded
you will gain respect
you may get beat by a noob playing MK
melee will be more fun then brawl




tims final thoughts:
there comes a time in everyones life where they are forced to disect something they have recently fallen in love with, it may seem unfair and can cause a large amount of distress but it is something you'll just have to learn to live with.

I'll be taking my Wii, my 64 with controllers and some games and my SNES with Tetris Attack. I still don't know if I'm being driven or not but if I am, I will bring a TV.

Is sleeping a requirement?

Howdy guys.
I may be coming tommorow. I won't drink though.
I'm friends with SummonerAU and his "posse".
I'll probably get there at 10:30ish and leave at 6 or so since I think I'm doing stuff on Sunday.
I'm not much of a serious player, but I'll have a go.
Hopefully sees you there.

And here I was thinking I could show off my buff Icies to you and stuff. D:

Yeah, EA what kind of buff? Honestly imo, your chaingrabs look pretty good already, you shouldn't put too much of your focus into them. What you should be focusing on is your non-grab game with ICs. It's what I think is preventing you from achieving massively improved results. Any good player's going to see a grab coming from an IC a mile away. Maybe try and build on consistent desynching (something even I'm still working my *** off on), and maybe some good tilt use (I rarely see you use them). Oh and it never hurts to improve your solo climber game, a lot of it transfers to regular 2 IC play anyhow. Just some friendly advice. :)

Aye, I agree. I didn't mean to imply my Icies were amazing or anything, it was just a joke that referenced how much my Icies have improved since I started focussing on them again. :p

You're completely right, though; with my chain grabs at a decent level now, there's a lot of other aspects for me to focus on, especially my little-used moves such as tilts and Blizzard. To be honest, right now I'm interested in character matchups (especially Wolf and Peach), so I'll probably be looking into those pretty soon. I'm also interested in learning more desynchs and desynch strategies, since despite being able to desynch quite well I don't really know how to practically apply them to a match beyond the obvious basics.

Eeeehh so much stuff to work on... Thanks for the advice, though, it definitely highlighted a few things for me.

Also if you ever want to know how I do X desynch, just ask me and I'll do my best to run you through it. It always seems that you ask me at times and I say I'll help but never get around to it, so feel free to sit me down and beat it out of me. :p

Where is the IRC EA? ;-;

The people that I would be bringing along aren't staying the night as far as I know. I'm thinking of staying but not sleeping and pushing through the PAAAAAAAIN. No TV unless my parents have a famous "We changed our mind" moment in the morning.

Sorry EA

I'll bring some gamecube games (Timesplitters 2 etc) just because I get a bit bored of playing smash over and over again... that's like blasphemy here isn't it.

I believe I've left a sensor bar and a Wiimote+Nunchuck at your place Tim, it'd be out the back somewhere. If it's okay, I can pick it up sometime tomorrow or sometime after Christmas. Thanks for hosting a great meet.

@Gords: There can always be more Pokemon Puzzle League/Tetris Attack.
@EA: You sleep funny ;D
@Tim and Chris?: GH3 battles are love.
