Well, I dumped my sister on my dad for the weekend.

So, I called off work, I have the car, my sister is gone... I'M COMING FOR SURE (unless something super serious pops up like... being hospitalized for being unconscious)!!! I'm going to drive down Friday and possibly stay at O-NO's place. the next day I'll drive to the tourny, participate, and then afterwards... IDK. More housing would be nice but I know O-NO has work so I would need someone else. If not, I'll have to do a late-night drive.

Thanks.

so it's confirmed for tomorrow... WM + Stars is bringing 7 at least.

I want to request round robin pools for the tournament. I'm bringing 4 players who don't ahve experience..and so that would be more enjoyable for them i think.

that brings up the issue of seeding of course..but i'm willing to help seed if you'd like..

and I don't care if i have a hard bracket/pool...since i'm going to kick *** anyways:)

but since i know most of the players in the region i could probably make good pools. Though perhaps i'll overrate some players..but it's better to overrate than to insult someone's talent, neh?

dark hart; i'm in va, so i can't give you a ride sorry

KP...just recite that whole post to Victor, the tourney host for tomorrow. He has no experience running tourneys as far as I know, so I'm sure he'll appreciate all the help you can give him.

I MAY be there for singles and if I show up at all I'll at least play some friendlies and say what's up :)

Are there going to be any vids posted from the first event (tomorrow)?
Also, I might be bringing one or two others on the 31st.
I haven't gotten to play that many other competitive players and this is my first melee tournament actually. I'm pretty excited. I hope there will be lots of time for friendlies and maybe some MMs if I'm up for it.
How many people are you guys expecting to show up for the 31st???

Idk what i was doing today that led to me getting beat down so hard. i felt like i wasnt applying any of my knowledge gained to this point at all. I wasn't counterpicking intelligently, nor did i use characters that i knew how to use. My fox is trash compared to most. I underestimated my falcon. I overestimated my link at mute city. and i underestimated poehlcat after i 4 stocked him =/

So i lost singles. But i got free food, free entrance to the tourneys, and free gas money payment by winning teams! so HA
GET ***** B*TCHES!!!

Also, yea gmon is my buddy ive been training for the past couple months.
he's getting alot better and i hope he'll be close to CNU level soon so we can do SS Crew battlezz.

next week. SS vs KF KF vs S.T.A.R.S. S.T.A.R.S. vs SS

Let the fun begin.
$5 each person for crews?
unless poor people argue otherwise?!

Sweet

I was told there were going to be a lot of people there. If it's $5 entrance then a pot of $140 means 24 people. That's more than my last tourny where 2 guys showed up (****ing WV and it's losers not showing up and having 2 guys from VA come all that way), but I was thinking it would be around 40 people with a $200 pot :laugh: I was getting ahead of myself.

Well.

There MIGHT be. A lot of people who are supposed to come need rides.

But even so:

I didn't want to get ahead of MYSELF.

A year and a half ago, I had a huuuuuge event and people traveled etc etc, but this was during an era when people in our region LOVED this game, so they showed up, but they did NOT love tournaments...so they didn't enter.

I'm not trying to scare you, because it's not like this anymore. There are a lot more people who come and compete.

It very well COULD be 40 people if everyone who says they're coming actually is able to make it.

So let's just cross our fingers ^_^

Don't worry though, this really does sound like it's going to be amazing.



EDIT: thanks MaSHi.
I think I'd need more help with that in Melee than I did with Brawl tourneys haha.
Sounds good!

^Too good.

Victor: Thanks for hosting. Much appreciated.

C-stick: Actually I don't think we've ever played before. This might be the first time I've ever met you. Either way good ****. We should play more.

Boose - You're cool as hell, man. Sorry for talking passionately about falcon punch --> knee --> falcon punch combos while you were playing. Japes is hard enough as it is. :p And good **** on top 5 in singles as expected.

SK - I want revenge on your IC's. Good set...we should play some more friendlies on the 31st.

Josh - I promise to MM you again when I'm not playing for Subway change and I care about the money...but no johns. Just you wait.

Mashi - I love your Marth. Good **** again. We should play more.

Malco - We had some good sets. Falco dittos sometime? I need to actually learn that matchup.

Toasty - Glad you showed up. Always a pleasure.

Shaemon - Don't sandbag.


CNU - Why are you so **** awesome?
