I'll be there at 3, and won't leave until people start leaving (10-ish). I'm really stoked. I'll probably leave Brawl open for others to play, occasionally popping in for a friendly, or a money match if any dare. I need to play some Melee tomorrow though, I've been Brawling constantly for 2 weeks. I'm afraid I'll side dodge off the edge to slow me down or dodge, or won't sweet spot the edge as Brawl does it for me. :)

I'm stoked though, I haven't been to a Smash thing in ages.

Thanks for the info. Go with Ike or Link. What time does it all start?
Most tourneys start at 10pm, but it mandatory you get all waivered up and signed in about 30 min prior. The head guy at Redmill said be there around 9pm.

And thanks for the info, but now that Link has lost some of the main things that made him goood (Need to charge for good grounded up-B, no more Up-B spiking! Boomerang does no damage or stun on way back, just pulls! He can no longer chain grab the side of a stage, only the ledge. And no more bomb recoveries.) I don't think he's as good.

I've been playing alot lately with Roy, Ganon, YLink, Marth, and DK (for funzizies) and I would have to say my tech skill has most likely really increased since I last played any of you guys.

Snake really looks like he could easily be who I'd wanna main. The sheer unpredictability of his moves offer so much precise strategy. Besides MGS is my home court!
SlashTalon=XionInferno....It's a long story


O-NO, need more setups?

without any of the non-letter characters, that's a much different sentence.

it'd be great to play you again Slash. Unfortunately, I can't make it on friday and I don't have a car of my own so I can't come over to your place to smash either. We'll figure something out I suppose.

If you live near downtown Norfolk or are coming through it between 4PM and 3 AM on Friday, you should stop by Gusto's to get some food from me :) First 2 people to come in and shout "TOASTY TOOOOAAAST" get a free meal [2 slices and a drink :)]

It would be crazy, but I'll see if I can show up to O-NO's at 3 to play Brawl for a second and then go to work. Dangerous though, don't wanna lose track of time >_> gah...otherwise I'll brawl with everyone next week

However, playing it early is something you can boast about. :)

Also, is Gusto's that place that was below Relative Theory (RIP)? I might consider doing that just for the free food... I'll be there after 10 if I do.

Wait, then that means I can show up! I'll probably hit up one of the Norfolk stores. Like O-NO said, if it's Melee, it's done.

well, I already called the Tidewater Dr. store :)
You should go to the 21st St Gamestop ^_^

Read: we're not friends if you show up at the Tidewater Dr. store ;___;

I mean, it's your call, and it's my fault for not being as good as you, so no worries. I'll just hate you forever. [Read: 2 hours...when I pick up my not-so-free copy]

A friend of mine who works at the Tidewater store plays smash, so the Melee tourney may be MLG rules.

If it's free for all, we should team up and ****. lawlz.

Only thing is, I called up the one on 21st, and they said they are using Wiimotes only. The one at Southern Cross said they aren't sure about what controllers or rules they will enforce, so I at least have a shot at using my own controller. And by that, I mean O-NO's controller. Also, I'd imagine several ODU smashers would go to the one on 21st, and I'm trying to eliminate competition.

Toasty, isn't the one on 21st closer to you, anyway?

And what's this about the store at Tidewater doing a Melee tourney? Are we talking about the same store? Lisa said it's at the intersection of Little Creek and Tidewater, Southern Cross Shopping Center.

ATTENTION EVERYONE. YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR THE TOURNAMENT BEFORE ATTENDING. THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE RUN USING TOURNAMENT MODE SO THE NUMBER OF ENTRANTS IS LIMITED. I JUST GOT THE LAST SPOT AT MY GAMESTOP. Also, you get a trophy for first place. So yeah, in summation, go sign up and good luck lol.

due to unforeseen events, I will no longer be attending any of the GameStop tourneys.


god****it.
Guess I'll have to pay for my copy of Brawl. Also, Ether, you would've had every right to go there anyway ^_^

And yes we're talking about the same place, they're having a Melee tournament.
Me: are you guys enforcing the Wiimote+nunchuck rule for the Smash tournament on saturday?
GameStopGuy: Uhhhh...what are you talking about dude? It's a Melee tournament, so it's only GC controllers
Me: @_@

that was how it went down.

Ether, make sure you **** that **** because I think the matches are only one minute one stock.
So don't use Fox, there's no telling when you'll accidentally Side-B off of the stage.

I'm playing Brawl at Caboose's most likely after the midnight release though.

Well gosh... I'm going to lynnhaven. But Wiimote+Chucks? I guess it'll have to do. O-NO, you are going to a gamestop that ISN'T Lynnhaven right? That would be helpful to me lol.

Oh, and I plan on using PT.

Serpent. You may be the SoVa Savior, but you're definitely a toasty Failure. ;____;

hope that you weren't just squandering by not showing up at 3 >____> [btw, I don't really care, it's all good :)]

oh well, the good thing is that 1) Brawl comes out tomorrow, and 2) I made enough in tips ALONE tonight to pay for Brawl ^_^

Kits, O-NO, Russ: thanks for the few matches I did have. They were fun and full of squanders. Even though I went all the way to Va. Beach for 20-30 minutes from Norfolk right after coming home from work, it put me in a good enough mood to work an 11 hour shift...so thanks for making my appearance at the last O-NO Melee fest fun.

Yeah, unfortunately my friend needed to leave by 8:00. He ended up leaving his glasses at O-NO's and the time spent going back could have given us a trip over to Norfolk. I was really craving a slice too. C'est la vie.
LOL no. I meant you not showing up to Otis's at 3. I went there for like 20-30 minutes before work to play Brawl. But yeah it comes out tonight and it wasn't a big deal anyway, that's just what I was referring to haha.


who did people seem to enjoy off the bat? Zamus looks straight nasty. Anyone use Lucas/Pikachu?
