- Thread starter O-NO
- Start date
There's pretty much nothing going on in newport news because nobody here has a good venue. especially now that ascendency is kaput. Its possible some kind of underground thing could be organized at cnu, but if they found out about it we'd get the boot. hahah.

but **** yes its still on!
as a matter of fact. the side tourney madness has just been upped with the addition of MOAR GAMES!!!!!! HOW MANY CAN ONE FIT INTO A WEEKEND!?!?

Power stone 2 2v2 tourney, Garou; mark of the wolves, Guilty gear #slash (fack AC), and Rival schools; Project justice!!!!

Hah, it ain't serious business or anything, but I was telling the story of how you wanted to show me the ultimate "gays" of Smash, and someone [forgot who, but enough reliable people in the room agreed with him] pointed out that running around and just evading for an extended period of time until the clock runs out [like you did] results in a forfeit of the match [much like Jiggly/Peach stalls?]?
Someone correct me if this is wrong? Chances are Otis, you actually did attack me at SOME point, but I think I blocked out those moments out of bitterness [not really, I just don't recall you attacking much if at all after you got your early lead]
O-NO
Smash Journeyman
lasers = attack XP
and peach/ jiggly stalls are off stage stalls. i was simply taking a tactical approach to our match, deal damage via turtling and for the enemy to you for fear of time loss.
true i did run the timer out in the meantime, but had you continued to attack you would have lost the match due to reckless jump-ins and my tactic would have won the match naturally.
but it is mad funny to me that you cant catch a fox with some players.

YES GAROU! If we have 3S, we MUST play it's SNK counterpart. Got that PS2 JPN version? Or we doing it MAME STYLE?!
About Whodat, seriously doubt he'll be attending. Alot of stuff is going on without me having the ability or right to explain why....but meh, whatever.
We'll be getting there late already...Dragonz has to work till 4 that day, so we'll proabably won't make it till like 5:30-6:00. Sucks on how much epicness we'll be missing.

Same here
BUT! Everyone going should stop by [because it is on the way to O-NO's for anyone coming from 264 =D] and visit me at work til 6 ^_^
it's the Lukoil on S Independence [first light after S Indp. splits into Holland and S Indp. on the right side...sign hidden by lots of trees until nearby =/]
it's unfortunate because that will now be my shift (10-6)...for life [********* family business >_<].

You guys will more than likely miss Teams, im gonna do teams around 3-4pm depending on how many people are here already.
as far as garou goes, DC baby all the way! original print too!
(SIDE TOURNEY INFO UPDATE!)
Side tourneys are going to be run bi-hourly (hour of free play, hour for tourney) for the most part since there so many. there will be NO ORDER to the side tourneys, but i will aim the have the most popular games played when the most people are present. side tourneys will also run side by side with the ssbm team tourney. you can enter more than one tourney at a time, The staff (me and lee, LOL) will work you into any and all tourneys you wish to play.
(SLEEPING INFO!!!)
once again, you are ALL welcome to stay at my place saturday night but, keep in mind that my place is no where near as big as toastys and sleeping space IS LIMITED!!! Players from out of town (such as Richmond, Newport, Hampton ) will get first dibbs at sleeping areas
This may be the biggest turn out yet for a tourney at my place so PLEASE, Have a great time, but try not to get TOO loud. i dont want police showing up at my place.
FOR ANYONE THAT DOSENT KNOW, MY ADDRESS IN STILL ON THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD, MAPQUEST SAVES LIVES (tho is has failed me before).
attendance count looks to be 25-30 overall but may be snuffed down to 20 like last time.
we shall see. still far better than any game off tourney right?

for real though, if one more person comes into our gas station asking where 410 [Holland Road, but Mapquest NEVER f*cking calls it that] is, I'm going to b*mb the Mapquest mainframe...or just hack it so it links you to googlemaps anyway.

It's cool about Teams. If's there one thing we can afford to miss in this fest of great gaming, it can be SSBM Doubles. I mean, it didn't even HAPPEN at Toasty's.....only three teams? 
Forgot about Garou on DC....*smacks self*. Hope you got some spare arcade sticks, although I'm garbage with it I'd rather use it then the DC pad.

Singles seeding will be random with some courtesy to crews – you will be spaced evenly as to prevent playing each other in the first round. One of the two criteria must be fulfilled in ordered to be favored. You MUST have 3 or more people in a group hailing from the same region, or you must be part of a crew. Teams seeding will be done randomly.
In case more than 64 people come, Singles seedlings will be determined by pools – each player will be assigned to a pool, and each pool will play 2 Three (3) stock matches in a round robin. If a player wins a match, he must inform an official of how much stock he had remaining. Players will continue to play with each other until each player has played all of the other players in the pool twice. The lowest ranking players will be cut off from each pool, so much so until it meets the conditions of a 64-man bracket. All stages for pools are picked randomly, and all character selections will be double blind pick – both players must whisper their character choices for that match to an official, and then immediately select those characters afterwards.

Alright guys, food dealio has gotten amazing. My boss said they will, indeed, deliver since it is such a big order. I will pay up to 50 bucks out of pocket. I'll probably just put in a catering order, and we'll get a **** load of lasagna.
You still down for this, O-NO?

if this dosent work out imma go with my original plan of massive amounts of cheap pizza and breadsticks.
i still gotta get plates napkins and drinks ect. thats all out of my pocket.
if anyone wants to help by bringing extra drinks snacks plates cups or whatever, that will be appreciated also.

Well, I did the same thing, and if you're willing to use the venue fee exclusively for this Gusto's order, then you're looking at $150...not 60. (unless your venue fee is $2 now instead of $5??? In which case: change it back to 5!!!)...lol maybe HR could pitch in a bit more and make it an HR sponsored event?...lol, jk @ sponsoring, but maybe HR could each bring something, drinks, or snacks or whatever...utensils/napkins/plates should be supplied by Gusto's as they were when I had my big *** order from there for my fest. Speak with Wiggles about some of the details [like how much pizza you might want Vs. (**** good) lasagna...the lasagna specials also come with 2 liter drinks and salad]...as far as the "catering" goes I think the only thing you'll have to cover yourself will be plastic cups.
FYI: my order was for 20+ people. We got two 18 inch pizzas [I'll say this right now, they didn't last long, I don't think it's the right choice for this kind of gathering unless you have people "sign up" for pizza and basically if you didn't "sign up" for it, you don't get any...sounds "top tier", right? haha...do we even say "top tier" instead of "gay" anymore?] and 3 of those Lasagna specials. Each tray of lasagna was pretty well sized and really filling. The salad ended up being massive, albeit: somewhat ignored. And that came with three 2 liter pepsis.
Now here's the great part...here's where Wiggles comes in. How much was all of that?!?!??!
$60 [not including $10 tip Chris gave the Gusto's guy when we picked it up...and I imagine we'll do something similar/perhaps more significant considering the fact that they will deliver]
KitsuneKing
Smash Journeyman
ether SMASH! zzz =(
Actually, the 60 was with tip.
So yeah, if it's any more than about 60 bucks, I'll pay the rest out of pocket. No worries, guys. It'll be good ****. I'll put in the order tomorrow if we have confirmation from O-No.
Just say the word, big boy, and a **** load of food will be delivered to your door Saturday night.

*has no DC stick* Oh well, guess I'll just have to manage then. I'll bring my cube with me then with Smash, and might as well tag my PS2 along with my Game Bible and assortment of burned games (KOFXI, NGBC, SS6, MB:AC). Just might be able to snag a T.V. as well.
I got sigged?! Holy ****......just saying what's the truth. MAKOTO IS WAY TOO POWERFUL TO BE WEARING THAT RIBBON. Unless that's what enables her to steal life back from Red Ken...
