On Wednesday at Cedar Park, there were over 200 people waiting. The line drew a perimeter all the way around the store. Crazy stuff.
I was there, too. It was definitely kinda rough, and I didn't really feel like waiting that long to play for such a short time. I ended up just hanging out at the washer/dryer section and watching the games people played. THAT was fun, too.

Did you like the game?
And srsly guys? Nobody interested in playing? I'm jonesing to play more. Need a break from these classes and thirsting fer dat dere competition. If not, I'm willing to wifi someone -oh wait-

Nah friends and I bailed lol but we just watched for a while. It looks pretty similar to Brawl in terms of overall graphics and whatnot but the engine definitely looks faster. The stages were pretty cool. We talked to this security guard and he knew a lot about the stages and where the hazards and designs came from in the game. Pretty cool guy.
I'd be willing to play, have some plans here and there but some free time too.
Mike2
Smash Ace
Yea, same haha. We got there when it started and the line was ridiculous. We waited an hour and the line moved like 10ft. We realized we wouldn't get to play till like 9pm, if at all.
And I would like to play here and there too.
BloodyBoom
Smash Cadet
Wow seriously? I was expecting it to be worse too. I was busy anyway but that's a shame ://///
Mike2
Smash Ace
Dang. Yes, I figured it would be way worse on Saturday. That combined with the fact that I wasn't TOO hyped for the game made me pass.
Has anyone in Austin actually played it? haha

Hello Austin-ites! I just moved here from the 806 (Lubbock) area and want to know how active this group is? PM? Brawl? Melee?
Hope we can hang sometime! Ok cool!

Hello!
This thread is for brawl in Austin. The melee guys talk in another thread. Things are kind of slow right now, so we haven't been doing much lately. But they will pick up when Smash 4 comes out.
Gova
I'm goin' for it!
Or if people were actually available for smashfests.
Mike2
Smash Ace
True. You guys have driven me to play Magic the Gathering for my competitive fix. I hope you're happy.Or if people were actually available for smashfests.
BloodyBoom
Smash Cadet
Dang getting thirsty for that competition. I'd go I just don't wanna be the only guy there or something and have it be awkward lol
Mike2
Smash Ace
Haha nah it's cool. I just hope the final product for Smash 4 is decent, because I'm looking forward to tournaments.

The bare minimum SmashU needs to be more enjoyable than Brawl and competitive enough for me to play is to take out tripping. which theyve done. so everything else could be identical at this point and i'd still be happy.
Mike2
Smash Ace
True. And I'll always attend smashfests if I can. And Like everyone else I'll go to tournaments at the beginning. But if the game is too close to brawl, in actuality I might not do the whole tournament thing for it down the line. I'll probably just play for fun. It kind of feels like a "been there. Don't that" type of thing. If the game is too defensive, then I've decided I won't try to get good at it. There's so many good game to invest time in to. Why do it for a game where the creator doesn't even like the competitive scene and it shows in his product?

Don't worry I'm all about that competitive mtg. What format you playing atm? Standard, draft, modern? Also I will finally be free this weekend, so I would like to play. Past few weddings went to mtg PTQs and weddings.
Mike2
Smash Ace
Legacy. No bans.
Also I can't play this weekend or the next.

Good joke, and do you ever play at Pat's Games?
Mike2
Smash Ace
Nah.
Nah. I've just been playing online. But Its been my go to game whenever I have free time. I'm really enjoying it and I'll make the switch to IRL pretty soon. I'll probably play draft because I barely have any cards.
Mike2
Smash Ace
Shawn, how many knife fights have you been in?
PantyRaider08
Smash Journeyman
Yeah, I would stick to drafting to build up your collection. You should come draft in SM sometime. And if you are to play in Austin, I'd go to Pat's games to get a lot better or Juniors if you want a casual crowd. Dragon's Lair is also a casual crowd.
Mike2
Smash Ace
I'll probably go to Junior's for a while since it's right here next to my house. I used to go there every weekend between the ages of 10-14 when I was really into CCGs. Does the Asian lady and Henry still work there? I used to go there and Purple Cactus(RIP) in San Antonio. So do you play the game seriously?
I'll probably get into League as well. Shiken is going to help me build a PC either later this year or early next year.
Those 2 games(or any other good PC games I have yet to think about) and SSFIV(for my fighting game fix) will probably be my main games unless Smash 4 is randomly really good competitively. Been practicing SSFIV on a stick lately.

I'm not too sure on Juniors since I haven't been in awhile. I just know about the place. Also League sucks.... play dota
Mike2
Smash Ace
I'll check both out. Why dota over league?
What games have you been playing a lot of lately? Or you been really busy with work and school?

In basic terms. Lol is brawl and Dota is melee. Dota 2 is a lot more competitive, but atm Lol has a bigger player base. Although, that will prob change soon since this huge tournament for 10 million is happening in a month for dota.
Mike2
Smash Ace
Nice. But does dota have enough players? One of the reasons I want to play the games I mentioned is because I'm tired of playing dead games. lol

Guess you didn't read the 10 million dollar tourney part. That is the largest prize pool in esports history. 10 MILLION....that is more than what most sports events pay out excluding major gold or tennis tournaments. Also Dota 2 has a ton of people, but Lol has more because they appeal to new players and tend to be noob friendly. While Dota2 has a higher learning curve and is more difficult to master. And sometimes Dota2 has more viewers on twitch than LoL but only sometimes. Plus LoL exists because of dota.

that comparison made no sense. melee has an infinitely higher player base than brawl, and league is insanely popular compared to dota which you have to be korean to even have a chance of being good at (it being harder to play was accurate).
League is super simple to get into and if you've never played a moba you should play it over dota or you'll just hate yourself.
also that prize pool isn't gonna matter much when about 98% of the dota community isn't even good enough to play for it
