Sweet! Do you play melee? I'm gonna scout eBay for a controller now.. Haven't played in ages but would love to get back into it and check out what level the Australian players are at, I really have no idea :p .

Hehe sweet! I just went crazy on eBay/playasia.com so I have two controllers, a gamecube and a copy of smash on the way now :p We should def get some games in as soon as I get my controller. In what part of Wollongong do you reside?

Also quick about me, I'm a 22 year old Norwegian halfway through my bachelor degree at UoW. I was never among Europe's elite or anywhere close to being that level of player, but I have played some of the finest players to ever smash in Europe such as Armada ( the world champion now I guess), Ek, Helios, DjBlack, CaptainJack, Tonberry, Masamune, Kriz, CalleW, Aniolas, Neasala, Sparken, ZGetto, and plenty of other French, Dutch and Italian players that are way too good at smash for me to forget their names like this :p

Yeah I'm not that far from the uni myself, you could come to mine for some games sometime but i have to warn you my spare controllers are pretty bad.
As for me I'm half decent at melee but there are definetly people that are better in Sydney.

First off, do you have an old school tv? Aka: No lag for smash? If not, I do and my gf is working literally all day Saturday so if you're free any time then we could get a fair few games in at my place. I live right next to the brewery/ WIN stadium in town. My number is 0402069291

Imperfect, are you the guy who Stereo was hyping up the other day? The Sheik main? The guy who's supposedly as good as the legendary ComboTurtle?

If so, I'd like to meet you. I could come down to Wollongong next weekend (depending on assignments) and perhaps bring a friend or two or three.

Hyping up is such a strong phrase, more like comparing. If you wish to come down then my place is as good as your going to get for a smash meet and was thinking of getting one going anyway........

Zxv, I have never made any comparisons, the only Aussie smasher I've played is stereo so I would have no point of reference :p

But yeah, for sure, I'd love to get some games in with you (I don't know that much about the Aussie melee-scene, but from what I gather on these boards you seem to be among the top cheese :p ) and whoever you bring! Stereo, are you down for hosting a smashfest? My place is probably a bit too small for such an event

Well, since this weekend there's apparently a Boost... Perhaps we could all meetup there?

Stereo, your sensor bar is still in my car. I WILL NOT FORGET IT THIS TIME.

Stereo, if you end up going I would greatly appreciate if we could travel there together, because I have a special talent for getting lost in Sydney! :p

Dude I so wish I could go, but I got a heap of things i gotta do that day. :( Stuff I cant get out of.
As for getting lost, I usually drive up so other than the directions Shaya gives I cant help you.

maybe

it takes a bit to get there, i dont think people would be willing to travel both ways in one day.
Closer than you think in terms of travel times. But otherwise i would be happy to facilitate several people in terms of housing. Not everyone obviously...

As for dates, I was hoping to have one sooner, and if it is a success then definetly have another in mid november etc.....

*expresses interest*

But as Scoot says, it's a way to go, so I guess I'll see how I'm feeling closer to the date once things are planned.

Wollongong, where the **** is that. I would probably go if it was after my exams.

Edit: Went back and realised I already made this joke. I'll leave it here anyway.

Wollongong isnt that far away guys. It's like an hour and a half train ride from Central. You can drive down in one hour.

I'm interested and the travel isn't so difficult. Cost is a factor for me and so is when you host it, but i don't know when's good for me either. Decide on a time and then I'll see if I can do it. I'll try my best.
