I still see people wandering around the plaza hours early.In the official rules it says no one can line up before 9am. I am going to be there at 9am with the printed rules in hand and expect to be able to enter.
The way I see it everyone is first in line whoever is there at 9am. I wonder how they will handle this when more than 64 show up before 9am but that's the official rules so yea.
Oh and this is a suburban area. I was surprised it was even held here, it has only a small looking gamestop.For those of you familiar with the area, having grown up there or otherwise, is it a suburban area? Or is it more industrial? Because I've never heard of this place.
BUT DAT BARE BONES DOEOh and this is a suburban area. I was surprised it was even held here, it has only a small looking gamestop.
Some parts are developing, some parts are falling apart. There is a big section of Korean shops, but I know little about them.
Its easy to miss the Gamestop when driving by, its part of huge line of stores in the plaza, all very close to each other.
The general rules say that. But not every location will abide by that 100%. Maybe the store has different policies.I don't think it's necessary to be there at 6AM. The rules clearly state you can't even line up until 9AM.
I'm not sure how thoroughly they will be able to enforce that...It's not a gamestop tournament. It's a Nintendo tournament. There will be a representative from Nintendo at each location enforcing the rules.
Not just that, but if the group plays smart and doesn't let any one player get too far ahead, we could have some very exciting matches. I'm more worried about my own ability to close out KOs than I am about luck or players with a japanese copy, and that's how it should be.Considering I don't currently have a car, I couldn't believe my luck with this location being only 8 miles away from me, and right down the street from a friend of mine. We're going, and also, I wouldn't say that people that had the Japanese copy are sure to win, sure they have an advantage, but in 4 player FFAs with all items on, there is going to be a significant luck component with the item drops.
Well remember to get a spot in line.I'm barely going to manage to get up by 7. Temptation to smash all night so strong...
Haha well I'm coming from over an hour away. Save me a spot!Well remember to get a spot in line.
I live 7 minutes down the street from this thing and I am still going super duper early
So it's 9:47 EST. I'm in line, and there is no way this isn't at least 120+ and I got here at 9:10 I overheard some guys saying that people not only got here before 6 AM, but camped out in front of the store *sigh* so I'm hopeful that they kick everyone who got here before 9They have to enforce the 9am rule. It is a rule.
We might as well play on any stage we want, with any character we want, with any customizations we want if were not following rules.
They will have their hands full I am sure and people will leave unhappy and unable to play but I guarantee the people playing won't just be the people who line up before you are allowed.
**** I think they may have a 128 man round and cut it to the 64 they need. Adding a extra round seems to be the easiest way to appease all the people IF they broke the rules at all.
Apparently not.So it's 9:47 EST. I'm in line, and there is no way this isn't at least 120+ and I got here at 9:10 I overheard some guys saying that people not only got here before 6 AM, but camped out in front of the store *sigh* so I'm hopeful that they kick everyone who got here before 9
