The lack of character heads in the Dope results post is going to kill my boner.

This is also very buggy atm. lol

I don't really know what the difference is with new SWF, other than the pretty colors are gone. And so is my Luigi pic... :'(

Wait, someone's hosting weekly Brawlfests starting next month?

I might actually be able to make it to those.

AZ runs things and he doesn't think that I know anything about web design, so now we have this :p

Xenforo is WAY better than the ten billion year old version of vBulletin that we were running on before as far as backends go. We just don't have a custom skin any more. This theme is basically vanilla/default Xenforo with a dark color change and a simple logo at the top. It's not bad, overall it's an upgrade over what we had just because the backend is better. People will get used to it.

The skin definitely needs better differentiation between posts, though. Alternating colors, where you at?

Howdy, everyone. I just moved up to St. Louis for college and had absolutely no clue there was such an active Smash Bros. crew. I'm fairly confident in my abilities, but then again, I doubt I've played anyone at ya'll's level. Looking forward to playing a whole lotta games and getting quite a bit better.

Oh, and I'm a Brawl guy.

If you're referring to the one at Danno's, I actually DID show up to that. Just... About 6 hours too late. :p A couple of my friends and I were somehow misinformed and believed the tournament started at 6:30. So we showed up, looked stupid, played some Galaga in the arcade whilst watching the matches, and left.

This is probably gonna come off as pushy, but...do you guys know anywhere that's looking for part time help? I've been trying and failing to get my own source of income for close to a year now.

And because of that, I'm stuck in this rut.

...Well, at least it's just the rut right now. Better that than some of the other things I've been metaphorically kicked into...

I know of a job that's always hiring , the pay was good \ depending on the night and sometimes ppl buy you alcohol.

http://smashboards.com/threads/mwgh...-jj-rockets-delux-thugz.333458/#post-15290806

Also because I like democracy, here's the link again to vote for the melee doubles stage

http://smashboards.com/threads/mwghc-4-20-melee-doubles-bonus-stage-vote.334807/

Also because I love to troll, I reset the brawl votes and made it a bit better so revote if you didn't last time.

...Did everyone in the area really lose interest in Brawl? I mean, it looks like the Brawl and Melee people split off and now the Brawl scene is dying. It's like a schism, or something. The Melee thread even mentioned some event where something went wrong...

What the hell happened over the last couple years when I wasn't here? This thread is a shell of its former self...

Oh yeah, I should've just left it to one STL area thread instead of making a separate one for melee. I made the melee one before I got super involved in the stl melee fb group because I thought it would draw more people to the scene. At the time, I thought it'd be easier to keep melee and brawl folks separated. I was new to the smash community, and I thought there was probably a lot of rivalry between the melee and brawl folks. But now me and Cook have realized that it's good for our communities to feed off each other, especially with P:M as a common middle ground. We've been taking turns with the STL BarWarz venue for tourneys and share the STL Super Smash Bros page's admin roles. I don't keep up with the Brawl side of things- nothing against it, I just don't play and I'm no good at it.

But hey! If you want some hype, start something. Hook up with cook and get the next tourney going. I'm pretty sure he gets discouraged when he's the only one trying to get things done. Maybe hold a smashfest with livestream. I heard there were over 30 entrants at the last Brawl tourney in Feb. People won't get hype if you just talk about something that could be hype, but if you set something in stone and make it happen, then people will get excited and follow along.

I can't contribute much to the tourney scene, as it is. I (still) don't have a job, so I can't just drop money on an event I won't even come close to placing in. At this point, I think we'd be better off with smashfests or something else we can do weekly or bi-weekly that'll get us all back on our feet again.

...Not like I can do much to contribute to that, either, though. My Wii's disc reader has been messed up for about nine months now; it can only play Gamecube and virtual console games. I can't host anything, since I don't have my own place. Besides, if we're looking for a fresh start it'd be better in the hands of someone with more experience running get togethers than I have. It'd leave a better impression.

...Unless there's been more going on than what I know of, and it's only been on Facebook. Hell, I don't even have a Facebook account. Old demons. Long story.

It's complicated.

I must sound like a real drag. I'm trying to do my part, but right now there's so little I can actually do...

If you're wanting to know bout smashfests and play, the best way to hear about them is honestly to join the facebook group and keep in contact with Cook, Future, Nicole, etc.

lol my wii does the same thing. I freaked out when someone ejected my melee out of it a few weeks ago. What if it can't play melee? It would be useless except as a megaman player.

Also, you should just make a fake facebook account and join that group and set it so that you get e-mails from that group only or something. I mean, life sucks and your heart gets torn into a million pieces and your family is going to betray you and all that crap...

but you have the solution to more smash, it's as simple as getting over the past and moving on and you can make a fake account. Hell, I'm Fat Zach Randolf on LinkedIn.

There's a billion easy things you can do if you allow yourself to.

I just got an idea.

So a lot of the locals are on Facebook, right? But a handful of people (myself included) would rather avoid Facebook, for various reasons.

What if we made a Skype group? Quick, easy, real-time conversation without making anyone sell their virtual souls to a social network. Thoughts?
