Tell that to the host. We can't host something at a tourney that doesn't want us.What's the story with Apex? If there's no actual P:M tournament, I have no reason to go.

Because Nintendo representatives are going to sponsor him and stuff for hosting smashbros tournaments.
-Right guys?
How will the P:M invitations work, any idea?

The most skilled players (at Project M) that attend APEX 2013 will receive an invite. Determined largely by myself, but I'm also taking input from other people such as JCaesar.
This kind of sucks :/. I just kind of assumed apex would have project M at it and was planning on going but I don't really have a reason to go if it doesn't.
I mean...it makes sense that he wouldn't run it. P:M would get a ton of entrants and would basically be like running melee twice. He's already going to be hosting a 6-800 person tournament and last time it was a train wreck(no one got to play any friendlies, tournament took super long etc etc).

Isn't this huge international smash tournament also hosting non-smash games?
Right, it's also a FGC tournament. That doesn't really matter considering the reason everything was so slow was lack of set-ups. FGC uses different T.V's and consoles so *shrugs*.Isn't this huge international smash tournament also hosting non-smash games?
From what I've heard, the issue comes from his hope that he's gonna get some sponsorship stuff with Nintendo, which is something he doesn't want to jeopardize by having a huge publicized event of a mod of the current Smash game.
That's terrible :/ What about all of the under-represented players? You should at least have a larger pool of people pick entrants, idk. Seems like forcing the metagame to evolve in a certain direction, maintaining what we know and preventing new talent from creeping in.
Yeah this is what he told me just now when I asked him about it.

I mean there's really not much the PMBR can do otherwise. Their hands are pretty much tied.
Still, no reason for me to go.

Don't worry about Apex, guys. There will be other tournaments.
PM is only getting better and better, so our game will speak for itself and therefore warrant itself good enough for an international-level tournament when the time comes.

It didn't happen last year.. what makes him believe it's going to happen this year?

You should ask him.
Not sure how likely this would be. At the most myself, fuzzy and alpha dash would travel (gp as well but he plays brawl). Prof definitely won't travel, he doesn't have much money or a passport, he won't even go to king funk's castle 2 and that's way cheaper. :|

It seems the only real way to even maybe gain support for something like Apex is for P:M to host events with high numbers of entrants consistently, without including melee or brawl. And it still wouldn't be guaranteed simply because P:M is a mod.

he said he wont do it because of sponsorship reasons. unless you give him 10 grand I dont think thats gonna change.
however running an "unofficial" tourney started the "day of" with a $5 "donation" should be easily doable.
we just need the organization.
I propose setting up a "donation interest list" ASAP posted in this thread to see who will want to donate come tourney day.

Well after a long back and forth with Alex Strife on Facebook, my opinion is that he's 100% right and P:M won't be a main event at Apex. I'll just stay home.

I wouldn't worry about PM at Apex. The scale of that tournament is huge enough that the games that are going to be represented will need all the resources they can get. There will be more opportunities for PM in the future. Even having the invitational PM tournament is generous imo.

Basically the gist of it is he has sponsors and they wouldn't support a modded game. So the best he can do is let P:M have it's own booth. It would be unofficial, as in not a main event/tournament.
I honestly feel really crappy now because I wasn't too appreciative of it and I kinda got aggressive.

Why not just get enough people to post in a thread stating they won't attend unless project M is an event there?

That sounds like it would hurt P:M more than it would help. The best thing to do is either attend it and show significant hype towards P:M, or to let him know (in a non-aggressive way) that you're upset about P:M not being a main event.
Even better would be to start hosting/attending/supporting P:M events and advertise them. Then, with better numbers/data showing a significant interest in P:M over the course of maybe a year, there could hopefully be a major P:M tournament in the future.

Like Nintendude said, don't worry about PM being at Apex.
We will have many, many more opportunities to represent PM at large scale tournaments in the future. No need to fret/ conjure ideas to get it represented.
PM will speak for itself.

Agreed. Could you guys shift the conversation to ways through which Sonic can be nerfed? Sonic's rather OP and needs significant changes if he's to benefit the P:M metagame any.

So Sonic's the broken character of the week now? Darn, I was really hoping for a nerf GaW fad.
