Remember that wednesdays are our Fight Club days... 10$ at 5:00 gets you the rest of the night on the projector, or if you want to bring your own stuff thats cool too, we have plenty of table space. Usually we play all manner of fighting games (like GGXX, 3S, import naruto games, Samurai Spirits, etc.), but if you guys are planning on pretty much taking over the store on wednesday, rest assured, we can accomodate you.
Anyone else see something wrong in paying $10, plus tax, for the chance to win... $10?

I'll talk this thing's time over with Diz, Scotu, and lain when I get back home.

Yeah, i don't tutor for less than $5. Randy says he might have a car @ 6 or something, so that's probably when i'll show up, so make sure there is room in the lineup when we get there.

Edit: Sheikan, you know of any good venues for a big tourney in AA?

Hey firebrand, how much would your place be to rent for a smash tourney, and how many people can it accommodate? It would not be worth it to charge more than $5 a person venue fee, so it better not cost that much. And does your facility support video capture?

scotu, we've already got a great venue at AA when we're there. It's got vending machines, a wendy's that's a 5 minute walk away, and it's free.
The catch is that it won't be available until late August/ early september. I wanted a tourney in mid-late june, maybe july. Don't want to compete w/ FC though, (i still might go). And I want to hold a much larger event than we did @ UofM. W/ everyone out for summer, we could get the usuals, and hopefully some of the bigger guys out there too.

UM's Bursley Hall will definitely be open this summer. Camp CAEN's using it for holding all the residential campers and staff.

To throw a smash tourny of your own, we charge a $5 per person venue fee, and can support up to 48, but there wouldnt be much sitting room. We will supply the projector, one gamecube, a 32'' TV, and tables to support as many TVs as you want to bring.

The prize payout is not that high, however, its coming from my own pocket when I face challengers. I'm bringing a friend on wednesday if you want to do doubles.

On our own tournament:
Several questions/ comments Firebrand:
1: if we didn't use the projector, could the "venue fee" be reduced (maybe to $3, you'd still be making ~$150)?
2: could the fee be lessened/ eliminated for people bringing a cube&tv / video capture equipment?
3: does your tv have an AV out jack?
4: What fast food restaurants are w/in 5 min walking distance?
5: It would already have a $10 entry fee to support the prize money
6: I, ankoku, randizzle, would do the organizing
7: if our AA venue is open, we're using that because it's nice and free.
8: I'm probably going to edit this in the near future

"Don't want to compete w/ FC though,"

yeah, if i end up going. If i go, it will only be if randy goes, @ that point, we'd be going after 5, when i beleve that it is $10.60 w/ tax for the rest of the night, and it would be appreciated if you made your challenge award like $13-16 to cover the expense of going. Besides if you're better than dope (HA!) you'd have 0 trouble beating me. But yeah, i'd like to discuss it.

"@ Dope: i meant conflicting dates really"

firebrand, seriously. it's gonna cost 10.60 to play and i'd only win $10. that's outrageous. if i win, i still lose.

you really need to up it. or we could mm. : ) i'm really bad, trust me, just look at my vids.

i'm still not certain i'll be at planet x tomorrow, but i definitely want to smash.

but pika isn't nearly as a adorable as pichu. especially pichu with goggles!

and wtf, i play the two most gender confused characters. sheik looks like a dude, and marth wears a tiara.
