We should make this the last great melee tournament. Everyone comes to say bye.
F that.

I have no idea what my obligations and school situation will be when this rolls around, but you better BELIEVE I'm gonna be at this thing.
Same way I felt which is why I registered already lol.

melee won't die anytime soon
QFT

omg this is my birthday weekend.

I'm so doing this for my birthday :D
Yeah its my birthday weekend too. ****s gonna be ****.

Plank said its the last pound cause he is moving away from md/va and pound is a md/va series. I'm sure he will be still hosting super epic **** tournaments. ;)

This looks really good, but i think Apex showed that wobbling shouldn't be legal and I also think semi finals should be best of 5, but you're the boss, so its just something to think about.

There should be a poll and only people who pay for pound 5 can vote if they want wobbling or not. America is a democracy based on voting I don't see this being terribly hard to pull off with like 6 months left I don't see why that isn't the fairest and best way to end this argument. Ah that sucks plank. Hopefully we hit 1000 people then so you can go out huuuuuuge. ;) I totally agree with semi finals bo 5 both qurters and semi's actually. I also like paying out to top 16 (and I know you like to payout real far into bracket) and when you get to play the tie breakers for actual placings, for example the two who tied for 7th duke it out for 7th and 8th and they get different amounts of money. That's pretty exciting too. Just things to think about. :)

If I can get work soon, I am SO in on this. And I will try to convince Alberta to come too. Be it Brawl & Melee alike. I'm going to enter both.

HELL YES.

Hey Kadaj, I haven't exactly kept track of you as of late, but do you still main Marth?

If I go to this, MM? $5? I think you tried going to HSI one time but couldn't make it. I really wanted to play you then.

It shouldn't be legal because the best Ice Climbers in the world got 5th (note: wobbling didn't win all of his matches for him, and a Pikachu player got 5th as well) and would have gotten 5th whether Wobbling was legal or not? Genius.

Something I learned from APEX is that Plank is the ****... sorry to the other TOs but Plank got way more done in his 1-2 hours of Melee match calling than anyone else did for the entire rest of Day 3. I'm so confident in this tourney being the most well executed event ever that I'm gonna pre-reg w/o hesitation even though ALL of my midterm exams are happening the week right after this.

I've had plans to go to every pound. Never have. Maybe this will be the one.

Depends on who's going... I wanna see old school people mainly.

It shouldn't be legal because dashizwiz would outplay him the whole stock and then he would get one grab and even it up, just because someone doesn't win doesnt mean it should be legal. Just make it so you aren't allowed to fsmash or grab the ice climbers, and i bet mango will still beat wobbles, would that make it fair?

Ur arguement wasnt much better.

Actually, if you watched, wobbles was adapting the whole time, and by the third game he was beating him solo climber for most of the game on PS i believe. second game was a little stupid though, lots of wobbling.

Not true,

the technical name is "federal constitutional republic"


say the first two lines of the pledge of allegiance


I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the united states of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.



I just want you guys to know, republic does not mean republican



sry plank for going off topic




POUND 5

seriously, anyone who doesn't come to this is insane
