Cameron, can you take me?

Riptide, if I go, can I have a set up there for Guilty Gear?

please say no. this is a melee tournament ffs. if you want a setup for guilty gear, bring your own tv and the game. and even then it's still annoying because i want to play people in MELEE, not watch them play other games. go practice guilty gear on your own time. this **** is getting annoying as ****.

seriously, if people are just going to play other games, let me know now so i don't have to waste my time and money.

hey, the nastiest of nates, couple Qs:

1. do you want to sleepover?
2. do you have room for my tv? (it's rather small)

oh yeah, i never got my stuff from your house rapelicate (you didn't bring it to lucky's :(). someone escort me to his house so i can pick it up, yeah?

That's what I'm doing Adam. I'm gonna bring my own set up and if need be, you guys can use it. >_> Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

it still means other people will be playing with you, and therefore they won't be playing melee. like at your smashfest, larry just played guilty gear or w/e that crap was all day, along with nes and atlus and other people I wanted to play with at various times. If I would've known that I wouldn't of came.

I don't care if you guys play it... I just don't want to go if you are.

i didn't say your name tofu. you're loyal to teh melee, and i respect you for it.

i didn't get to play larry once. not once. i played nes a handful of times when we were both tired as ****. i dunno, it's just an annoying trend of "hey let's go to a tournament/smashfest for melee but then split into groups where some people play melee and some people don't." for people like plan 9 and leon, who don't play melee, then w/e. for people who normally play melee, that detracts from the rest of the experience since the melee community is small enough as it is. so i'd simply like to know if there are going to be 3rd strike / guilty gear setups, and if so i know beforehand i don't have to go.

plus riptide said melee only in his original post.

yeah connor, just ask me

I said I wasn't gonna bring GG. stop *****ing please. I'm not even sure if I'm going. My main motivation is to go and beat a certain person my age in tournament, easily.

no one was talking about you. stop being emo. you're not special either.

very next sentence:

Me: because i'm assuming leon and plan 9 will be bringing them

the point is SOMEONE probably will, i don't care if it's you or [insert person].

melee communtiy is just horrible at organizing ****, and i'm not going to hope and pray they get it right when this tournament is 90 minutes away

It doesn't really matter, I'm fine without GG but I'm not sure how Leon and Plan 9 would hold up.

no, let people do whatever they want. i'm definitely not trying to make people bend to my will. if i'm the ONLY person who disagrees with people playing 3s / GG, then that's fine. I'm NOT trying to convince people otherwise, I just want to know so I don't have to show up and waste money.

Riptide's hosting the tournament though, so it's his choice. He's just doing a ****ty job of it so far. Speaking for myself, I don't want to go to a tournament far away when I don't know exactly how many people are expected to be there (very important in terms of doubles -- if there are 12-14 people, that's 6-7 teams [assuming everyone even enters, which is often not the case], which is maybe BARELY worth my time), and especially if other people are busy playing other games.

if rudy and sherigami want me to take them to nasty nate's house, you better let me know before nate finds two other people

i'm charging $5 for gas each to take you guys there, so it'll be $10 total for both of you individually (my $5 + nate's $5 = $10. they say 14 year olds know math, but i dunno...)

connor i dont hate melee. im just not driven to learn it. ill be brining my 6.5x7.5 inch tv for not-melee, but that shouldnt be tournament breaking. idk, im sure the tourney will run smoothly as tournaments go, even with some of the entrants playing gg/3s in their off time. if all other games were banned wed just play foot tag anyway. >_>

i'm sure the multiple game thing is no problem.
bottom line is, if you wanna play someone, go up and ask them.
it'd be strange to decline an offer with, "sorry i'm playing pokemon right now."
i'm sure smashers are not that unreasonable.

pretty sure plan 9 who had brought 3s to connors was asking to play melee with everyone the whole day too, regardless of who it was with.

there were few good people to play in singles at connor's.

you: too scared to go sheik in friendlies, zero interest in your ****ty secondaries
lovage: played him a lot, he's good
nes: didn't get to play him often, dunno what homey was doing
larry: hardly saw him play melee at all besides a couple of teams the first day
atlus: switched off, probably evenly; played him a decent amount, he's good
connor: played mostly GG. played him before everyone came. he got better.
plan 9 / leon: don't play the game (well)
psycho ******: fun playing teams with him, but wasn't there most of the time
tofu: played him a lot, he's good

who else am i missing? doesn't feel like i'm missing anyone.

basically the only interesting thing to do were teams, and that requires four people. it gets stale when it's mostly the same 2-3 teams as other people are playing other games.

why arent you driven to learn it
there's stuff to learn unlike brawl
idk. its too developed? it just doesnt seem too intriguing to memorize everything about 4 matchups thats been played out hundreds of times.

it'd be strange to decline an offer with, "sorry i'm playing pokemon right now."
i hope thats not a shot at me

explain the foot tag in written form
its a lot easier with visuals
