BTW Ankoku. I didn't go to pound. Someone entered as my name because I couldn't get a refund, so I gave it up to anybody that wanted.

Also, Dazwa didn't go. None of Maine went due to a car crash >_>

Woah... looks like a lot has happened since I last read the boards. Mostly ******ing, though. Heh, someone mentioned earlier that we haven't had any Southefield games in a while. I know at Lawrence Tech, here, I've been quite busy and I haven't even heard from Rash since last semester! Was anybody still interested in having later (maybe starting after 7pm) smash events here? For anyone who either never came or doesn't remember, the dorms here sport fairly large TVs in the lounges of North Housing. If you did want to come, you'd have to have someone let you in the front door so I'd prolly have to organize these things. I'll check back in a while to see if there's any interest.

Thanks russ... just let me know when you're free man. these things practically depend on you since you are the only one who has ready access to north housing.

like i was posting in the other thread, biweekly saturdays might work, but i don't want it to be one of those things where it's just you, me, two gamecubes and three tvs.

lol! Nice to hear from you! Biweekly (once every other week) on Saturday would be great! Would you want to start this Saturday? I'm planning on being here for the weekend.

The UMB is the university of Michigan biweekly, it's in Ann Arbor and has it's own thread. It has pretty good draw from all of Michigan.

Congrats to Midwest for a solid performance at Pound 3!

Well it's hard on money right now, and none of the UMB regulars except Dope came to any of the GR tourneys. So why should we come all they way out there if you guys aren't willing to come out here?

I know rides might be hard but it's pointless for us to keep coming there if no one is willing to get you guys here.

Also, I'm in my third year so basically I don't have an ounce of free time.

You oughtta know how badly I want to make these :(. Well, except for that one last one, since it was on the same day as a UMB. But yeah.

I'll try to make it over for the things you guys host over the summer, tho'. Count on it, ze.

Tru story.

Anther actually just pretends he couldn't 4 stock us all at will to make us feel better about ourselves. Also, he has sexy hair.

Haha, awesome... never noticed my name in the first post. Those Grosse Pointe area smashfests were good times - the scene hadn't even really picked up back then.

Yeah I've been out of the competitive scene for a while but I'm really eager to get back into things. I'm in East Lansing now, really hoping to find some Smashers. I have a modded Wii and Brawl.

Edit: Liptonbuddy, don't you still have my copy of Melee? :p

Qinopio you should come out to Ann Arbor for the UMB's. I don't know how good you are, but we have a pika main that made 25th at pound 3. Who doesn't want to play against that?

Southfield? I'm game.... where at?
Have you ever been to Lawrence Tech?
Here's the addy...
Lawrence Technological University • 21000 West Ten Mile Road • Southfield, MI 48075-1058

click! -> Map to Lawrence Tech <- click!

It's near the corner there on W. 10 Mile and the Northwestern Service Drive. I was thinking that we could have some sort of events every other week that UMB isn't meeting. We'd be meeting in North Housing (this 4 story building that you can see off of the service drive). Message me if you're still interested so I can look into officially setting something up. It'd be nice to actually play with some people and not 'bots... :-( Cheers!

Actually I live off of 10 mile and berg... Sounds good, My friend Darius goes to lawerence tech, and i'm sure I can get a bunch of my peeps to come if it's that close.

LEts set it up!

I have a gamecube with two controllers, my friends all have gamecubes and respective controllers/copies of smash, we may need tvs though.

know anyone with brwal?
