...Screw Fence, lol.

Edit: How do you get people to go to scrub tourneys?
How shall I advertise my town?
I want a lot of people to come so, what attracts people the most?
I need help.
I get better results by posting my tournament on AiB than on here for bring in actual smashers, but for bringing the local scrubs in, advertise around town at the local teen hang outs, any game store nearby, the venue, and just spread it through word of mouth

I have always wondered how many people that actually play Smash go to tourneys, have ever been to a tourney, or will go to a tourney. Just wondering how large is Smash overall. Only 100,000+ people on SWF, but that's a small faction.

y'know, I've always wondered how many people just on the Snake boards are tournament regulars

I know that Ken and myself frequently go to tournies (him moreso than me, he's #1 on his PR), how about you guys?

I don't go to tourneys, the local one that I will be hosting will be my first.
I hope to get first, lol.

I've also been doing all of that to spread my tourney around.
I've put fliers up next to the local Blockbuster, that should work.
People came to a CoD4 tournament that only had a $20 reward and points on their Blockbuster account.

@Tommy Der Meister.
No.
That's my tag.
My friend and I are "?!" for our doubles team.
And yes, he is a "?" as his tag.
I am "!"
You can be "."

Awaiting the day when I can get some reasonable excuse to get myself to a tournament that won't give me later complications. *long story*

a legit 09 members? awesome.
I'm illegitimate :[

Alright, so who here changes either x or y to grab? I've been considering doing it, since the z button is just an awkward feeling button to press...
I've experimented with a Y grab scheme for DDD, not with snake, but in the midst of ****ing around with the wiichuck I had grab on like every button, but no matter how many times I edit the scheme it is awkward or insufficient, I hate the C button, it's weird and I feel like it messes up my grip on the control stick, plus you need to use A/B to round out your controls if you use dpad for smashes...ultimately I gave up and decided that in the far future when my GC controllers break I'll be stuck with the classic pad, which is ok but I still like the GC controller much more, more comfortable, if I play a long *** time on the classic pad I get cramps

I have bad dodge habbits.
I always shield then spot dodge if I'm not in range for a grab.
=[
I'm slowly getting better about this but I have STUPIDLY bad habits about dodging out of shield for no reason sometimes...

I'm not Fence, yet.

liar :p

so yeah, scrub tourney in a few days, if I have no work johns, which tags am I using?
should use all of our tags :D

I use ¿:ö:?, or some other random variations involving incoherent use of symbols

if you have to pick one, IxxI obviously.

I had "!" as a wifi taunt for a while.
I've used !, FISSION MAILED, CRAB BATTLE, and TIME PARADOX/OCELOT IS DEAD, lol


I couldn't resize it to not look like crap at 100x100 for smashboards but google found me a surprisingly awesome avatar for AiB

I either shield grab or do Z. My tag is pretty much always Ran. On occasion I'll put 180% to remind myself NOT to get hit at the start of stocks. [I play my best at high percents.]

I go to like two tournies a month or something, but I've been on break and out of the competitive scene for the past few months finishing up High School, and graduating and what not. Hoping to go to this c3 tourny this weekend, I have money matches with candy and boss to do >.>.

And Syx, my guess would be it's something like the profile picture is a girl, and we thought we've been talking to a guy?

A new Snake joins the fray! Anyway, I use Z to grab just like everyone else. Are there any advantages to using Y or X?

I used to play online, but my wifi isn't working at the moment.

I think SuSa plays online, maybe? Crystal was asking me about it, so I'm guessing he does too. And i'm sure some others do as well.
