-All non-finals and semi-finals matches are best of three.
-Finals and semi-finals are best of five.

Running from an opponent to get to a better position is not considered stalling, but using chain grabs infinitely against a wall (excessively beyond around 300%) or using Sonic's Neutral B repeatedly underneath the stage is.)

I'm coming btw. :)

I'm taking my car, and all those who want to ride with me can. I gotta be back Sat. night at a decent time though, so there's that warning. I don't care if we leave on either Fri night or Sat morning/afternoon. Both are ok with me.

The messed up date in the title. :p

If it was yesterday I would of been pissed, as well as probably a lot of other people. LOL

I couldn't drive to this or really any other tournament by myself anyways (my car sucks)

If moogle/Chad goes then I'd possibly try to hitch a ride with them :p

Man Iori only won the brawl tourney because he had Seal powers. Bet if I had polluted his environment,he'd have lost.lol. GG's though Iori. I see DDD did not want to come back.Falco gave you victory. Btw who won the melee tourney?

Hey guys, I just want to send out some love to all those who helped me make tonight's tournament the best ever! BunBun, Iori, Cyner, Talon, IHSB, Ambix and so many many more!

I'm looking towards the end of October for Round 2, and we actually might spice it up and make it a two day event. As of right now, things will continue on Wednesday nights indefinitely. You have made this possible!

Also, for all the new faces, Powerplay would like to welcome you to our Open Smash Brawl/Melee night on Wednesdays at 7 P.M. It's free, so those of you strapped for cash are only responsible for showing up! It's pretty chill and could possibly become something more than just a Fight Night! It's all up to you!

But, as I was saying, Thanks all of you guys for showing up and giving it your best! Powerplay & I appreciate it so much!

<3 M2

PowerPlay was too legit today. I wanna post a massive textwall of shoutouts and praise and to express how happy I am to have seen Arkansas again, but I shall abstain. Everyone I played was seriously good, and the regular practice on Wednesdays really seems to be paying off.

Except for Iori, who sucks regardless. :chuckle:

It almost felt kinda reminiscent of the days of the Pizza Inn, except for the whole "finishing tourneys as the sun comes up," bit. I love how even though our community is so spread out, there are people cool enough to make the drive just to hang out, talk turkey, and beat each other up with generally cutesy characters. Even without Smash, you guys are freaking awesome, and I <3 all of you guys like family. Smash just makes it that much better, though :laugh:

On a less-sappy note, everything ran a hell of a lot smoother than the last serious tourney that was held at PowerPlay, too, so props to them for being awesome. Hopefully we can have doubles next time! ^___^

Except Iori. We all know he cheats to rely on his Seal powers.

I'll be up there maybe... *puts on cape* You shouldn't skip class for melee tho.

words from Gvice
School is important dog.
True. But I honestly think it's better for my brain to be getting exercise rather than zoning out to redundant crap about enterprise architecture. Plus it's group led discussion which means it's even worse than usual.

I hope you're there. I'm determined to take you to at least 2 stock >.< Just no Seal suits this time. They're OP.

Nite, you should definitely come.

I do want to. I missed the tournament, so as long as I have a ride, I'll be there.

Well if you live anywhere around Bartlett or Cordova and can't find a ride I could hook you up. That is... if you trust your life in the hands of a weasel.
