My bad, I keep associating you with WB instead of MSU. The best thing you can do right now is help the others find a venue, then after you find one, employ the same marketing tactics that you guys used around campus last March/April to score over 30 entrants (pretty amazing).I like how you forget to include me in the MSU crew Rob, lol.
I definitely support this idea, and I'm willing to help get this started. I just hope I'll have enough time for this cause this should be my last year at MSU.
We can probably get Anthony in this too, if he's still here.
Anthony went to mother****ing Pound 4, he must care about this game in some capacity. He did a great job with the MSU tourney last April and we will definitely need him again, so contact him asap! I have his cell # so PM me if you don't have it for some reason.Anthony told me he quit competitive Smash but he'll probably still have his tourney in April.
I'll try to contact him and see how he got ahold of the venue for the last MSU tourney he held. Maybe he would be willing to send out emails to all the people who participated in the past so we can get some randoms.
I don't think the order is important in terms of travel plans and all that, we both have drivers who can make the trip with ease. Just a matter of finding a venue. I need to find one as well. If the point is to promote the tourney and find randoms who will enter, it's gotta be on UM campus instead of just my house like this past summer.I agree with everything said. First tourny at MSU or U of M though? We are still looking around trying to find a venue. If one can't be found, the venue will likely be a house...or two. I move in the 28th, so I'll be talking to Travis and Tyler more and we can figure it out.
I was thinking of having a smashfest before then also.
I also feel the need to remind everyone that I am terrible at melee. Getting better takes time and effort. Actually, all comes back to exactly why Ohio is dying, it is hard to play melee while working full time and/or going to school. So I will be putting some effort to make sure these tourny's happen, because our scene can't die yet.
See, here's where I disagree Travis. The Brawl community is way better off than the Melee community. Brawl gets 30+ entrants for tourneys without any effort, especially on campus. Do you want to accomodate both communities, sacrifice the Melee revival effort, and risk running over allotted venue time (you know it always happens with Brawl)? Or do you want to help grow a Melee community that was in shambles as of 2008, made a huge comeback, but now needs help to get back on track again? If any coordination is to happen with Brawl TOs, it should be securing a venue for an entire weekend and having Melee on Saturday, Brawl on Sunday. West Coast does this sometimes and it sounds like a great idea. But the focus should be on Melee, 100%, until you reach at least #5 on the list above.Brawl TO's should get in contact in us so we can try to make both scenes better. If we can get good venues theres no reason not to hold both. I also picked up brawl recently and really enjoy it and would like to get better at it as well.
My community center is an option but we have to be out by 1030 including cleanup and ****. So Toadster is going to look into where the one in april was held. If not that, we can just keep looking somewhere else in the area.
Do you see 6 pillars? or 5 (+2x1/2) spikes?I've never been to grand rapids. Someday. Someday...
Also, I'm proud to release 6th pillar's official emblem:
Seventh SpiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikeDo you see 6 pillars? or 5 (+2x1/2) spikes?
We just need Tony to update it. I barely recognize any of the players that JV called "current" back in 2006. I'm also offended he didn't include my name!
No. You guys are dumb. JV's post deserves to remain unedited.An updated OP of current active Brawl/Melee players would be really sweet.
Someone infract Ankoku for senseless flaming!No. You guys are dumb. JV's post deserves to remain unedited.
