[Paju]

Looks amazing! Im definetly doing the sightseeing to both Mistberget and Oslo with few other Finns (NamiNami, saska, Novi and maybe RTpmwe) as our flight arrives already on monday. And speaking of arriving on monday, we would really appreciate getting housed before the tournament. =)

 

[pheX]

Flyfunner & I booked our flights ! We would need Housing for monday after the tournament. But I'll come to that back another time.
For now : HYPE

blacksburg, va would be a great venue

this historical eating establishment exudes greatness and is a luxurious spot to get a quick meal.

the first church of god in blacksburg is the perfect place to dwell on your smash career and realize what is truly important.

Dunno what I was thinking, but Barcelona deserves a country status, right?

Yo Tonberry, you should start featuring top players in the thread title. "Armada, PP, Amsah and more!" or something.

 

[Tonb3rry]

Quick update:
Most of the things are settled now!
My gaming organization and everything I need is up and running.
All that remains is that I have to speak to Round1KO about some info, and the online booking will be available soon! Unless the booking company I'm cooperating with is slow, I will expect the online booking to be up in a week!

I'm sorry that this has taken a bit more time than expected, but I've been pretty dependable on the processing time of my applications. I hope you understand.

[Dr Peepee]

[porc]

PP : carefull with PAL falco when fighting puff (and everyone), less range with that weak dair

 

[Dr Peepee]

Less range in general or just the weak part?

 

[Tonb3rry]

Less range in general or just the weak part?

I've played both PAL and NTSC, and I can't really say I've noticed anything about the range at all, and if any, it would only be at the weak part. But personally I think the range is the same.
The only difference with Falco in NTSC and PAL is the weakhit of the dair. Not too much of a big deal imo.

 

[Fuzzyness]

Oslo(Rygge) to Eidsvoll Verk: 260 NOK (2h 13 min)

is there no cheaper way? :/

 

[Armada]

Norway is ****ing expenssive so be happy you don't have to pay a million

 

[Slhoka]

Norway is ****ing expenssive so be happy you don't have to pay a million

Hahahaha I wish there was a "like" button for this

Also Fuzzy, when checking the possible routes, I noticed that it was cheaper to take a regular company instead of Ryanair, because the prices between the Ryanair airports where so ****ing expensive.
It was like that for Paris, so it might be the same for some other cities.

Edit : quick summary of what I posted in early February on the French boards :

Spoiler

Paris - Oslo with Ryanair, round trip : 30€ (shuttle to the french airport) + 120€ (flight) + 68€ (shuttle to the norwegian airport) = 218€
Paris - Oslo with another company, round trip : 0€ (the Parisian airport can be reached without costs for Parisians) + 136€ (flight) + 15€ (shuttle to the norwegian airport) = 166€

Then the smashers from Lille objected that it was only if you were leaving from Paris, and that there were cheaper flights from other Ryanair airports. That's very true, but at best, the Ryanair trip would only cost about 10€ less.

Also, the whole shuttle thing would also take 3h round trip in France, and 4h in Norway, while the regular airports probably don't take more than 2h for both, round trip.

So in my opinion, if a trip is a bit more expensive, but saves a decent amount of time, and allows you to travel in better conditions, it's definitely worth, unless you can't afford to pay a few euros more than the lowest price you can find, in which case I think you shouldn't travel.

TL;DR : Do not consider Ryanair as the only option. Their flight prices are often cheaper, but also need many additionnal costs.
