Just wondering who was going to go , I know theres some TV's and some cubes there with Smash, It can be like a 3 day smash, I know last year I saw Sighrax and UUAA , I heard DarlFalcion was there and dipped because he didnt see anyone good lol, but Iam going with my boy Syko and My Boy Reggie ( samus ). If anything after the convention we can smash at the Hotel. Let me know guys.

I might go. I got a few friends who were going to attend, but decided against it since I wasn't. 45 bucks is alot for a con.

It's an Anime/Comic Book convention. It's not free to enter the venue, but the tourny will prob be free. They had various videogame tournys there for the last few years, someitmes the rules are jacked up though.

I'll probably be down there again sheikfreak (I was the random decent peach/samus player that no one had heard of, if anyone remembers) and I'm definitely down for some smashing, whether it be at the venue or somewhere where there aren't a bajillion noobs clamoring for ffa on temple. This time I have a bit more fox experience too, so maybe I won't get manhandled by syko.

lol yeah dude i remember you, well most likely your going to see us again, we got like wayy better than last time, so hopefully you did as well, About the megacon, yes to enter the animeconvention its 45 per 3 days, so if your into anime and like playing video games, you can go and play smash and check out the convention, The rules last year for the tournament were BattleField ( they didnt have final D or any other lvls) with 4 stocks, that was pritty much it, last year it was really bad, no good people came, some decent people but nothing to wow, only good people there that we fought were UUAA but that about it, sighrax was there, but he was beginning to play competetive i think , now hes a beast, but yeah , DarkFalchion really good people are going, you probably dont remember, but on of Mavericks Tournaments that he did at his house, I was the shiek who beat you and placed you in the loosing brackets, not to sound like an ******* but besides that I dont think you ll remember me , we havent seen each other since. But yeah, My shiek/falco and my boy Syk0 fox/roy and reggX samus are really good, hopefully you can attend and your friends as well. Hope to see you there.

I stopped going to anime conventions once I stopped making AMVs. I'd like to get back into it, but smash has kind of taken over all my freetime/desire to edit videos. :ohwell:

Yo DF, you mind if I get some serious marth practice at this one? I really gotta figure out ness vs marth a lot more, and since the tourney rules are prolly gonna be hella stupid this would be the best place to get a good amount of friendlies in :p

I'm sure that arrangements can be made to hang out in someone's hotel room or somthing for some real smash. I'd volunteer, but I'm pretty sure I'll be staying at my roommate's bro's place, and I don't want to drag a bajillion people over there out of nowhere. Besides, it's kinda out of the way (practically next to gigabits).

Hey DarkFalchion your on dude! iam pritty sure your marth got beter but I can garantee my shiek got way better but hahaha its all good, $10 is good for me. Hopefully I ll get to see alot more good smashers there.

Also we have 3 hotel rooms, and iam pritty sure I can fit like 5 to 10 people, we can take like 2 cubes and play at my hotel, but ill confirm that when its closer to the time.

Just bumpin' this up. Whats the deal here? Smash at anime conventions (from what I understand) tends to be not so good, poor comp, poor rule sets...

How was it last time?

well the actually tournament sucked, nobody good, with very few exceptions but hopefully this year will be different, besides that, you can play until you want, i think we were playing free for all, and the first 2 people out if there was a huge group that wanted to play , then winner stays in. Either way I allready rented 3 hotel rooms in Orlando and I get really good people go to , we can chill and play at the hotel room. Just waiting to get closer to the date a little.

But I understand where your coming from, Smash at anime conventions are w.e. but if you like anime and **** and just want to pass by to play some smash you can.

Smash at conventions usually sucks, but you CAN meet noobs there, reference them to this site, and help the Florida community grow some. (Hopefully those people you show this site to get better.)

So, I'm still planning on being at this. Who else is gonna be there? We should post up and/or PM some phone numbers so we can get together somewhere to smash (I have no cell phone or I'd put up mine, but I can borrow phones to call other people if I know numbers).

Same here, no cell phone. my guess is we'll prolly run across each other at SOME point, especially if there is any video game area in the place

I would also like some marth practice, btw, for all the reasons stated above. This goes for skratch if he's gonna be around too.

EDIT: Heh, oops. Double post ftl.

Just got back from Megacon. I met Hiroshi there. Yo dude, nice meeting you. I was rockin for a bit with my pink doc, and people just love to try and ruin your day. Some one got all on my case because i said "I never plan on losing" which i said not to be egotistical but more as though I happen to be a big fan of trying. Who plays a competetive game planning on losing? For some reason he must have heard it as "I am the greatest smash player ever" and tried to get me to money match him. I said no because I'm not pro level and he probably was. Another guy got pissed because I beat him even though it was a close fight between the two of us 2 stocks each. He might have been having a bad day I dont know, but I went to shake his hand and said good game he just walked away saying "no it wasn't." The guy even earlier said he prefers fighting games to smash. Sheesh, people need to lighten up. Overall it was still good fun. Tournament is tomorrow, registration I think is at 10, and I think the tourney itself runs from 1130 to 130. Its FFA 4 player. I wont be able to make it since im gonna spend some time with my family before I go back to Tallahassee. Good luck to anyone entering tomorrow.

HIROSHI'S WALKTHROUGH OF A SATURDAY AT MEGACON!!!!!

i spoke with some dude who said he played with darrel (fenrir)...fenrir is supposedly his teacher...wel..fenrir is the person that showed him advcned stuff

Geez, I'm really getting a reputation, aren't i? that's pretty crazy, although I think I know who you're talking about...

Fenrir, the man, the myth, the legend...

He's been the gimp master. He's been a god with fox (not my words, mind you). Hes been a mentor, a teacher. He's switched to....Link?!?!

nevermind.

lol

Pretty cool, though.

Yeah, chilling with hiroshi was good ****, though it sucked that we never got up with the miami guys. I entered the tournament sunday (was pretty much the only tournament regular who did) and got knocked out in the semis thanks to the ridiculously ******** ruleset they had (3 minute time limit makes it kinda inevitable that a peach ditto will go to sudden death, which I didn't want, so I went sheik and ****ed up a couple of times too many. Whatever, prize support was ***) Did get to play a bit of teams with the only other good person there, which was kinda amusing. All in all though, convention smash still sucks.
