Hello all,

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I'm the owner of the Play N Trade video game store, located in Chandler, AZ. Some of the regulars are already familiar with the location and our fantastic weekly tournaments. We're the largest PNT store in the country, with nearly 3000 sq.ft of gaming goodness.

Just wanted to note that we are hosting a Smash: Melee tournament on Sunday, August 12th, at the Chandler location.

Might want to post this in the Southwest regional subforum as well to get more attention.

Interesting... That sure is a nice prize pack...

Next week though? Kinda short notice. I'll probably be there anyway.

PS: When you say "no glitching" certainly you mean no excessive stall glitching. (Freeze glitch) You're not talking about stuff like Mewtwo pulling characters below BF, Ness's YYG, etc... right?

I'm talking about those as well. Thanks.

Cool. See you there.

Ohh... umm, what exactly else do you consider a "glitch" then? Wavedashing?

In the competitive smash scene there aren't any glitches that are broken. Most are completely useless, and only a couple are situational at best. There are lots and lots of exploits though, like wavedashing. The only techniques that are banned from play are ones that stall matches.

I highly doubt I'll be able to come considering I live more than an hour from Chandler and don't have a car. But I guess you never know.

I was referring more to the stalling ones. Anything that stalls a tourney is banned.

you should read the rules in the general discusion and take the time to right them out because you will be getting alot more questions if you don't. I have helped out the PNT in walpole MA with smash and that's what they usually do so don't pull a roger.
