i apologize in advance, because im pretty sure i saw a similar thread to this, after seeing a semi-related thread (CNU smashers), but searching found me very little results.

I am a freshman now at Old Dominion University, and I am looking for people to play smash with. I know there are incredibly skilled players around here in the area, but i find it difficult to make tornements and such do to not having a car.

I apologize to the mods, and thank anyone who would like to play a game or so of smash with me :)

It's cool, as long as you understand that I'm gonna wanna play you for like 2 hours straight, win or lose. If that's cool, then we can meet up sometime. I live off campus. AIM: Kyolin Curai. I tend to have smash nights here, and toasty lives pretty close to ODU. He might be able to give you a ride.

When the new retro room opens, we can smash in there.

WTF? lives in Powhatan II [he doesn't really frequent the boards though, but his name is The |Egg| Sniper]...but either way, look for two things in the very near future: the opening of the new "Retro...forum" I guess? since it's not a "room" anymore. It's the middle of the three entrances to Webb [the lefthand entrance being the Food Court/Bookstore and the right hand entrance being Starbucks and the computer lab upstairs]...anyway, in the middle entrance, just walk on through and it should be toward the back, you'll see pool tables...anyway! once that opens, you will be SURE to find US...just look for a group of people who look and sound like they belong in a game room hahahaha...ask around for Dean [that's WTF?] or Enver [that's me, though I'm hard to miss in that crowd since I'm brown]...other names to ask for: Khalil and Eli...you may even see people already playing smash...though I'm a little worried: they seem to have put up a few flat screen TVs [and not the regular TVs we're used to] which means: LAG!
If that's the case and someone is willing, there will be smash at someone's residence on or near campus...or someone will bring in a TV to the retro forum haha, that's a pretty good possibility, though a ****ty last resort (>_<)
I live really close to campus [less than a mile] so I'm definitely within walking distance of whoever wants to play. Also BLKG [aka Black Guy or Black G ....or David haha] is an RA over at Roger's Hall on 49th on the other side of Hampton Blvd.
As for playing smash over here, that only happens when I have fests, which only works if 1) my parents are gone and 2) other people bring TVs since I don't have access to a non-laggy TV of my own..except a facking tiny one
BLKG has a setup and WTF? has a couple [well, he has MY setup haha, so he has a couple for NOW]

this would be a lot simpler if the retro forum [does anyone know what it's actually called now? well, I'll just keep calling it that for now] had a regular TV in it...if anyone finds out that they do, then fantastic! But the reaosn it'd be a lot simpler is because we could all just meet there and I could keep my cube in the locker all semester like I did over the last year.

haha, in summary: you WILL be smashing with good/decent people this semester and very soon I might add...so no worries about not having your fix. And as for not being "great" or whatever, everyone has to start somewhere. We're not NoVA, we're definitely all about helping people get better and teaching people...it helps if you ask too, esp if the question is specific. We all play a pretty wide variety of characters as a whole, so just about anyone you'd wanna focus on, we have someone who could help you



holy **** that's a lot. sorry. haha
btw: ODU VS. CNU IS GONNA BE SOOO EPIC! we just gotta make sure it happens >_>
I already vote that CNU has to come to US...1) I believe it was CNU who challenged US and 2) we have a lot more car-less people :(

Make sure my trained smasher Zion gets on the team. You might have to go find him since he's not on the boards much. Franklin Pagan's his name.

thanks man, we were looking for a way to get a hold of him. Either he'll replace one us lesser members, or CNU will need a 7th person...hope he's better than a few of us, always good to have better people around so we can improve more quickly. I guess I'll have to find him on facebook or something. or you could PM me his number/AIM or something...

Redd, I'm looking hard for Xion, but to no avail. Don't worry, he'll go on the team.

Woot recognition *****es !!!!!

haha kidding, but yeah i think today was one of the most fun times I've had with the HR memebers I've played.

Still no Slash vs Toasty tho :(

I think he sensed how awesome me and Ether were doing and wanted no part in it...

yeah I'll be there between 12 and 2, and possibly after 3...although, I really think we should, once again, find another place to play -_- ****ing lag. I'll ask V, WTF? or BLKG if we can use one of their places again
ugh, ODU ruined everything by putting in new TVs :'( wish they kept the old ones SOMEWHERE! made everything so much better...

Delay!

I won't get there until maybe 6. I'll look for Zion... does he have an AIM s/n?
ETHER! I'm at BLKG's place! no one else is here anymore..Zion had class I think, Billy [some NoVa player who wasn't as serious as them, which is to say he's pretty proficient with the game's techs but lacks the experience/mindgames/the usual] left for class and David....well...David's playing Volleyball...so...yeah. I called Khalil and co. to see if they were interested in coming here but I guess I should've called someone else since his first response was "Rogers? That's a long-a.ss walk"..but I think I convinced him to come, still no word yet...soooo YEAH you should come play! and I'll text Zion to let him know people will be here if he's free to play later on

ah man...I wish they had told you guys where I was [in the presence...of...A REGULAR TV!!!] We're gonna eventually have two full setups over at BLKGs [aka Black Guy, Black G] place, the unfortunate thing is the space issue...don't want just anyone rollin in there, but all three of you new guys are definitely welcome, I'd imagine...like I said though, just as a forewarning...space. =/

As soon as BLKG showed up to the game area I was like "alllright...let's go." hahaha...tried to get others to join but to no avail :( :( :(

slash: i was the fat korean guy playing the falcon on the **** shieldbreak combo. i was also the one playing phil's peach after our teammates died on FoD for like 2 minutes before i got off the killmove

also, if i haven't told anyone. if it's space you want, my living room can easily accomodate like 4 setups. and the dining room right next to it could do a few too. since we don't have furniture yet it's pretty empty around here. i could ask my housemate to lend me his tv then we'd have two right there (no cubes though)

also. i should be completely open today unless my housemate secures a car and we go shopping. so...get to it fellas >_>. PM me for a number/address if you want it

There needs to be more ODU smash
man, I wish the old Retro Room still existed :( :( :( it was such a...community [haha, almost by definition since you can't exactly control who stays and goes...as much as you'd like to...but you could sure as hell publicly embarrass them and harass them enough to the point where they never return! [Glen!] or you could...annoy and disgust them to the point where they just...disappear to a happier place :( [IVAR!]]

but yeah man, good TVs? god****it...that's all Webb needs! it was in the center of everything! :'(
