why exactly arent they releasing an entrants list?
Shears

They feel the decision of whether to announce someones attendance shouldn't be made by the event it should be made by the individual through their own means.

In that case it should be fine if they released an anonymous number for number of entrants? 64 community is super lazy when it comes to registering for events on time and since we're gathering our own list of people that signed up, we would know how urgently we have to be in reminding the lazy bums in this community to register.

shouldn't they be releasing the pools or the bracket at sometime tho? This reasoning for not releasing attendance seems really odd

Okay boys.... So recently I was having some money troubles and thinking I was gonna have to cancel all my travel plans this summer. But now it seems that is not the case. Can anyone explain to me when the sign up deadline is and exactly how much it will cost to enter the tourney for the weekend? Do I need "festival passes" and stuff too?
Also and MOST IMPORTANTLY can I throw somebody some beer money to sleep on the floor of their hotel room? Because that's a dealbreaker for me.

Am I missing something here? I looked at the registration page and it says that the $75 venue/registration fee includes entrance for all 4 days of the convention. Then it's just $10 a tournament. There shouldn't be in hidden costs or anything as far as I can tell.

tell them to hire Bit Brigade already. Now that mega man is in Smash 4 they can just do this:

So my plan is to take out a loan to attend Smash Con, win Smash Con, pay back the loan, and then use the remaining Smash Con winnings to fund my trip to Kanto.
jk, I am going to try to save up a bnch of money and see if I can come up with enough money to attend

I've conditioned myself to not take any post with "gamer gate" in it seriously and ever sense, my life had only seen improvement.

I don't understand... where has there been any discrimination??

Idk what gamer gate is, but I was hoping someone that has already made arrangements to go to this could give me a rough estimate of what it would cost to go to this event. Like what are the hotel rates in that area? Also is there any community housing or something along those lines? A few GA smashers are apparently poor, probably Obamas fault.

He's not really talking about the discrimination itself, he's talking about how people respond to claims of discrimination. Have you not seen anything about GamerGate? Basically whenever anyone (Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, any female Smash player) mentions instances of online harassment/sexual harassment/sexism/etc in video game communities, people go to great lengths to discredit the sources ostensibly in the interest of "journalistic integrity" rather than admit there are actually issues that need to be confronted.
I believe the straw that broke the camel's back in Athen's case was a Reddit thread where the mention of a female Melee streamer led to a series of defensive, sexist comments directed at people who have spoken out, including someone calling Brianna Wu a "monster" for being a trans woman.

Flying is probably your best option for travel. I would consider the possibility of flying into BWI and then taking the MARC train to DC if you're trying to save some money. I think Spirit Airlines (one of the cheapest airlines along with Frontier) flies into BWI but not any of the DC airports. The MARC train has a stop at BWI and only costs like $7 to get to DC. If you want to be really cheap and don't mind being uncomfortable for an entire day, you could probably do Atlanta-DC round trip for sub-$100 using the Megabus.
I don't know about hotels, but I honestly stayed in a hostel at one point when I was looking for housing in DC. It's not ideal, but if people are just looking for a cheap place to spend the night, it's not bad (around $25 a night).

Then he should have directed his rage over at the melee people over in r/smashbros in that thread. Instead, he blamed everyone else, including the 64 community, and then randomly exploded against an admin in r/ssb64 by constantly insulting him and telling him that he and everyone else in the community should "die and burn in hell".

Gamergate is good though.

i highly suggest that people do as i do and take the initiative to book a room at the venue and split the cost with other players. If you use the code provided by the supersmashcon website you can cancel the room up to 24 hours before your reservation with 0 cost to you so the risk is minimal if your plans fall thru or you cant get enough players to room with you (which seems unlikely)

Now. Register now. Why wait until a possible deadline, why not just do it asap?
Because I can't drive myself and need to confirm a whole bunch of stuff with Kero before registering like with every other tournament.

July 14th venue fee goes into emergency mode (up another $10). Registration fully closes for tourney entry on July 21st. Teammate matching closes on July 24th.
