I'm down to play! I don't have my controller, so I'll need someone with a setup (pref CRT) and at least 2 controllers.

Hit me up, my phone number in Taiwan is 0918787580. Please please please call me! Itching to play :p

Also for reference I live near 市政府 MRT station (close to 101) and I work near Nankang (南港) MRT station.

Yo, so I found a crt thats small enough to move- smash is def playable on it and lag is worse imo. That means that I have a full setup that I can bring wherever with two controllers so lets def get a taiwan smashfest going

I can prob go to your place if you live at xing tian gong. That would be easiest I think. It's like a 15 minute MRT for me to get to you.

Yeah, so im living with extended family while im in taiwan so we can't really smash at my place lol- it'd be easier if we could play at either your place/ at telemaster's/ anywhere else with aircon

im free after work next week on wednesday and thursday. i generally get back to my place before 7, so if we aim for 7 or after at technology building that will work out. we can help carry the setup over, its no more than a 5 minute walk from the mrt station. theres also many places to eat right outside my apartment, so don't worry if you cant cram a meal in between work and smash lol.

I can't guarantee I'll be there by 6:45pm, I can definitely be there by 7:00pm though. Again this is for this WEDNESDAY! Trees, will you be able to make it by then? Don't you have to go home first and grab your setup?

I'd say 7:30 would be the safest bet since Trees has to make it back home to grab his setup. Let us know if you have a better time in mind Trees. Also, do you guys want to eat right outside my place before we smash? There's plenty of small traditional taiwanese food joints near my place and a mcdonalds right next to the MRT.

Let's plan another one of these! This week or next week :) Also add me on Line (Engdrew) so I can make a group chat for us.

Hope to play you all soon again :)

Hey, how many of us are out here anyhow? Would love to hang out - I'm a Smash noob ( I write about LoL for a living instead, and haven't played Melee for years), but my passion for the game's been rising since the 2013 Evo, and it hasn't stalled out yet. Kinda sick of just watching streams, though - nothing quite like actually having the controller in your hand.

If anybody plans to be visitin' Taiwan from the US for the holiday season, lemme know too. My lack of Mandarin fluency makes the future prospect of using a Chinese copy of Sm4sh somewhat offputting. >_>

MY FELLOW TAIWANESE SMASHERS

I am sure I am not the only one that's planning to get his hands on a copy of the 3DS version. ...though I may or may not be the only one that's stuck with a US region-locked model (wtf Nintendo). Who's planning to bust up their circle pads?!

I'm out of Taiwan 'til the 20th, but otherwise am usually in the area (though residing farther south in the town of Sanxia). Definitely happy to smash it up with some folks.

TAIPEI SMASHERS!

I'm tired of lag.

I'm tired of Final Destination.

I'm REALLY goddamn tired of grindin' away at custom movesets.

So here's the deal. I have a 3DS. I have the game. I have no doubt you do too. Let's smash it up. Let's do a few money matches. For the scant few of us English-speaking Smashers on this island, let's get something like a scene going. Once a week, I'll make my way to downtown Taipei -- both to restock on sour cream, because the local Carrefour doesn't carry any, and to take a day off from freelance work and other such business. I will bring with me TWD 500 for the taking. Win a best of 5, 3-stock, customs-on set, and it's all yours. I win, I get 500 from you.

Sounds good? RESPOND IN THIS THREAD TO SCHEDULE A MATCH.

Like, I'd be happy to do Melee too, despite my total lack of proficiency, but if we don't have setups we're all floatin' in the same half-assed boat. >_>;;
