There were a lot of people bailing out on the last minute for the smashfest which is due to AC confirming his smashfest extremely late, so sorry for anyone new who didn't really get to play an intense game or didn't see what they expected.

BUTTTT any new brawlers should try to come to the Croydon Brawl Tournaments on every thursday...if they want to know about it just state their interest and i'll tell them more

Is this in Central Croydon?

 

[gm jack]

If Crabman is coming, you might be able to get a lift with him, as he lives in Surrey as well (although, the opposite side of the county I believe, so if you get a train to his area then a lift, it might be doable).

 

[L-J]

So wait, your thing is on the 16th now Jack?

 

[gm jack]

If that is ok for more people. If you can't make the new date, say and I'll weigh it up.

 

[X1-12]

Sean might be able to do 9th (if he can he can bring tv + set-up). We can both do the 16th and will be able to bring a set-up each and at least 1 tv

 

[L-J]

16th is fine for me.

 

[gm jack]

Awesome. Could you see if Joe is also keen?

Yeah, it is literally like a 30 second walk from the Vue Cinema in some shop...you should definitely try to make it, post on here if you want to know more details about it...

BUT basically it's on EVERY THURSDAY from 5:30 till usually 8:30/9:00 and £3 entry.
The rules are different to the OFFICIAL brawl tournament because the person doesn't really know about them that much BUT there's still no items and a good variety of stages, you should definitely try and make it

Whereabouts do you live???

WHAT'S EVERYONE IN GENERAL UP TO ANYWAY AND HOW'S YOUR AVAILABILITY???

I keep thinking that we should do something like a big smashfest (like the last one which flopped but that was AC fault for late advertising ) just to get everyone together and hyped, how is Tesco Crew doing because OoC actually want to **** it up...

This goes for anybody, OoC wants to destroy all of you lot...

I've been wanting to play so much Smash lately so I'd really like this. @_@

ooc smashfests are really good

 

[Heartstring]

i was actually referring to the croydon tournaments
i might well come to an ooc fest though if i ever happen to be going to london

 

[Tamoo]

The tube doesn't really run to Croydon, you'll have to go Overground at some point (pretty sure you can get an overground straight from Victoria actually)

if thats the case then thats pro. makes my life much easier

 

[Jolteon]

@GP: East Croydon is accessible via the Southern rail service and tram.

/e Also trains that go to Victoria also go to East Croydon, so getting there from out of London is really easy.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Clearly you've never been to an OOC smashfest

I live in Croydon, 10 mins tram from the Vue. Will check it out.

From London Victoria, its a 15 min train to East Croydon. The Vue is a 5 min walk from there and its very easy to find.

Well I actually live in Thornton Heath so you're luckily enough to have the best Melee player in the UK living near you and someone who is decent at brawl even though I don't really play it

lol, so if i come to this, will you direct me? ^^

To answer your earlier question, the tournaments are alright...nothing too special, you're a brawler so you can complain about their stage choices....'That snake stage with the walls is allowed but Rainbow Rides banned ' and also you're only allowed to pick one character for the whole tournament....like you actually can't counterpick, it's gay

BUTTT I will actually be there so I can also direct you, but basically when you get to East Croydon you cross the road and get on '466' literally one stop and then you get off and walk. You could actually walk it from there but you dont know the direction

 

[Heartstring]

haha i see. well i wont be going this time round i dont think
as for the rules..well thats wierd, i guess this means ill be scooping prize money when i go XD
ill have to look into going soon though

 

[Jolteon]

you play ike so you should be able to just **** anyone who CPs shadow moses vs you anyway, not like there's any good d3s there lol.

 

[-Legit-]

Whats the closest train station to the vue?

 

[SugarPhil]

Whats the closest train station to the vue?

Croydon East Rail station I think that's how its worded?
And I'll definitely be coming this thursday

 

[Professor Pro]

The Closest Station is East Croydon Station and you get on the 466 one stop TOWARDS SOUTH CROYDON.....NOT THE OTHER WAY....cross the tram line and turn right from the station....if you cross and go left you will be walking toward the wrong 466 bus stop so watch out as both bus stop are kinda close

It's best for people to find out how to get to Vue Cinema from East Croydon cos it is literally a 20/30 second walk from there in a place called 'M&M Games' in some little tunnel 2/3 shops down on the same side as the cinema, not on the opposite side

MELEE + BRAWL PLAYERS

If I speak to Alpha Dash about doing one of his big smashfests again or AC, who would be down to go for a big smashfest, this is going for people outside of London as well...with A GOOD amount of notice, like a week and a half...

And what days are people mostly free on?

Like if it was on Saturday would that be good with most people?

 

[gm jack]

I'm already hosting the saturday before the monthly.

Come to Reading instead, and can fit maybe 4 more people in if I can find one more tv.

 

[Jolteon]

I'm free after this week so most days work fine for me unless something comes up =/

 

[Tamoo]

If it gets enough interest, I'll probs go, would mean I don't have to play all the time and can just chill and chat or something lol.

 

[Heartstring]

sounds good but what kind of community classes a week and a half as good notice?
im a busy person, i do moer in life than play computer games XD
but yeah, id be up for it greatly

 

[Professor Pro]

Well for a smashfest a week and a half is decent notice, this isn't a tournament, it's just a smashfest around someones house and anymore then that amount of time could prove unreliable as something might come up.

It was just gven security in it not being too short notice, but yeah I might try and make sure they give a bigger notice.

 

[Damix91]

lol, so if i come to this, will you direct me? ^^

Sure.

Kl, thanks for the info. Will check it out.

 

[Heartstring]

things might come up in between that time?
surely if something else comes up you can state you already have other plans?
oh yeah i forget you londoners can just travel when you please for cheap, i have to book like 2 weeks in advance so i dont pay a bomb -__-

 

[X1-12]

if AC can house again, how about the Friday before the monthly?

 

[fortunecookie]

I think I can go to the next monthly if someone can house me the night before :-)

Yeah you got a point lol...I guess 2 weeks isn't that much of a big deal...will def try to give atleast that much notice prior to the event, do any smashers live in your area anyway to bring them along???

And people will finally see how amazing I am at brawl LOL

if AC can house again, how about the Friday before the monthly?

Yeah I will definitely find that out for you

I think I can go to the next monthly if someone can house me the night before :-)

Yeah I will def try and ask AC, would be really good if all you scottish people could come down....BTWWWWW have you lot been playing Zeppo lol, and if so how do you against him and would you be able to bring him down.

oh and for de record, fridays nights are impossible for me. i work them this is why i always have to travel to tournaments on saturday morning

 

[gm jack]

Friday before the monthly sounds good for me too.

 

[X1-12]

Jack what day is your thing gonna be? I could do with knowing by weds so I can text Sean about it before I go to Sonisphere

 

[j3ly]
