WHO IS TRYING TO GO TO NC FOR MELEE THIS WEEKEND???
I need to know answers to all of the following:

-can you drive there?
-if so, how many can you take with you?
-if not, do you have a ride?
-how long can you be down there for?

Here's the thread for the tournament so PLEASE take some responsibility for this and don't ask me any details about it that can be answered in this thread:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=211146

Here's the deal:
I'm TRYING to drive to Richmond friday night.
I have a couple people who are going to get back to me about needing me for a ride.
I don't know how long I'm staying though I'm fully able to come back on monday.
I may be able to stay with PLUR but that's no guarantee esp since I don't want to exploit his offer to me by saying "oh wait I have 4 more people too"

So basically, I will only be able to give rides to those who absolutely need them and not those who just don't feel like driving if they're able to.

CSTICK WHERE YOU AT?!?
OTIS?!?
ETHER??????? <---lolll why bother asking :( :( :(

I wanna come. But I'm gonna need to be back Sunday....Like maybe around 8pm or 9pm? I don't know about times yet...

If you're planning to stay until Monday, I don't wanna hold anyone back. If so don't change anything cause of some kid. I'm not important and I don't wanna eff up anyone's good time.

if you're saying you're going to Magfest, I know the guy running the Smash tourneys so they won't be ******** at all :) the only chance for change is the number of matches and such if he's given heavy time constraints. but he usually runs things the way it should be run, stages and all :) unless MD/VA has weird shltty counterpick stages >_>

If I were to buy mvc2 and a console stick, for what system should I buy and where should I get them from?

Also, I have a dc and a copy for dc (I would have to find the copy, but I know where the dc is), but there is something wrong with my dc: it doesnt power up. the light glows at a dim fade and never powers up enough to turn all the way on. is this a common problem that can be fixed? if so, then i would just buy an arcade stick for dc and practice that way.

haha Otis I WAS intending to go until I realized that:
I'd have to travel 3 hours
I'd have to pay 45 dollars for the event
I'd have to find a place to stay for the weekend
I'd be missing a Melee event in NC that I could actually attend!

and sorry Clowsui..I'd like to...but yeah :(
thanks though!

The dreamcast version is pretty much arcade perfect translation, but...it's as it's obvious it's rarer. On the other hand, the ps2 version is more plentiful ( I know at least two Game Stops in the Newport News area have a used copy) along with arcade sticks being easier to find. However, some glitches from the arcade version were fixed in this version (although nothing you'd have to worry about in actual play) and there is a weird issue with the sound at times.

If it's just for practice, I'd say go for the PS2 version honestly.

As for the DC problem...sorry, can't help you there.

I can whenever. I just need to call my friend and see if he'll drive meh.

And no he doesn't play. I tried teaching him but it didn't turn out so good. He's more of a first person shooter.

welllllll unless there's like massive OOS Melee guys going to Chu's for his bday, then I won't be going and I'll be hosting a small tourney on the 17th if that's cool with Booooose ^_^

That'll be like...the last time I go OOSoVa until Cali and I'd be down for hosting bi or triweeklies at ODU if that's cool with Boose...they'll be like $5 tourneys?

What do people think?

I'd love to go to NC this weekend.

But I always have to work Saturdays. =\

But I've got good news. I finally got the new apartment I've been talking about for half a year. It's really nice, and really safe (there's a gate and you need my passcode to get in). It's so beautiful; shrubbery, pool, gym, lounge room (tournies???) tennis court all on the same property, no extra charge.

And in the time I've taken away from smash, I've gotten pretty good at guitar. I've got a slick black Ibanez and a relatively cheap amp.

And because I haven't been playing smash, I've had the chance to hang out with some old friends and play rockband. And as a Christmas present, he's giving me a new computer (wtf???!), so I'll be online again.

It's...almost as if life is better when you don't play smash... =O

But I'm willing to play on New Years if anyone else is.

Toasty - sorry about not returning calls. Lisa didn't have her phone with her both times, and I was too lazy to call back =_=
