~Reserved for important updates~

Schedule is still up for change since were still adding games and making the schedule flow best. If you have any suggestions for the schedule say them in the comments.

 

[lazymp]

This looks hella legit.

Do you plan on having someone stream?

Probably not, unfortunately, the Internet connection is not too strong there. We'll keep you updated if we're available to.

 

[TrashBoat]

Aww no 64 smash?

 

[cbones]

Aww no 64 smash?

We really wanted 64, it being my favorite Smash game, but we don't think we have enough setups. We only have one 64 right now with the game. If we could eventually get enough setups we could maybe do it.

 

[TrashBoat]

Well how many set ups would you need (I might could bring one). And 64 doubles would be hype!

It depends on how many people would be interested, I didn't really consider 64 Doubles, but we would probably need 4 minimum. We have a confirmed 2 setups now for 64, and if you could bring any that'd help a lot.

Yes I could bring one :D

 

[The Golden Ike]

Oh man, I really want to come since this is only 1 hour from me and 99.9% of tournaments are at minimum 2 hours, but I'm just afraid of driving all that way, losing my first match (since I have nobody to practice with) and driving all the way back. I feel it'll just be a repeat of when I drove 2 hours for a Raleigh tournament and immediately came last place in singles and doubles.

Many players get last at their first several tournaments. The important thing is to come out and play with others (since you have no one to practice with) in order to get better. You can also meet people in the community and maybe meet someone there that's local to your area that you can play with.

I'll be going to this.. its gonna be my first Melee tournament.. Does anyone have any tips?

Just play and have fun dude. Sure you might get nervous, but if you go and just play for fun, you'll have a much better experience. Go out and learn things from other people in the community, make some friends, and have a good time.

Shiiiiiit, this is pretty close to my hometown, but I'll be in school when it drops. I might go if I can manage a ride there for the weekend. Really hyped to see tournaments coming up in the South East region, and hope my hometown eventually spawns some too.

 

[PlayR489]

This is pretty far out for me, but I'm hoping to come out and chill with you guys! I'll be the guy playing either Marth, Ness, Lucas, Greninja, or Fox. I also may enter my Shulk and Ness amiibos.

Hoping to make it out to this - might have two that are coming along

 

[KalindDodd]

Yes, it will be there and on both floors.

 

[GNOX]

Questions I have for smash 4: Is there a standardized size for Miis? Also, how many bans after game 1?

The Miis should be default size, and winner bans 2.

Are wireless controllers allowed, I use the wii u pro controller...

Yes, that will be fine. Just remember to disconnect it after every match.

 

[SoulStriver]

Does the venue close after 10:30? And it says *Signups for all games end 15 minutes before each respective game begins does this mean if pm starts at 530 I can sign up at around 430?

 

[GNOX]

Just wanted to say this was the coolest tournament I've been to. The venue was amazing! Please continue to do these when possible

How often do you guys do this? Is it just a one time thing?
