Stupid double posts...

Also, I have confirmed BSP and Erick in my carpool for WHOBO, and as Xyro said, today is the last day to pre-reg/save some cash. Anyone that has pre-registered and is in need of a ride: I have one spot left in my car. As long has you're not out of the way for me, you're welcome to come with. I have housing with Esca, so just worry about food, gas, fees, MM's, etc. for expenses.

I don't know how smogon tiers are different from pokemon online... But here's a team in 10 seconds. Tyrantar (could be a band set with pursuit.) celebi (uturn cleric celebi). Landorus t (the one with intimidate. Stealth rocks, uturn stone edge eq). Keldeo -r. (Choice specs with secret sword hydro pump icy wind and a hp of your choice or calm mind first three attacks. Heatran (can be whatever set you want as long as it has a fire attack or protect.) and starmie (life orb rapid spin tbolt hydro pump ice beam. This is the top three best non weather ou teams. In the meta. Use it. Get x and y
Well see, the problem with this set is that it requires Celebi (I only have a cloned one and only legal Pokemon are allowed) and the fact that it would require a ton more hours to raise, EV spread, and/or breed for Natures for these Pokemon than there are before the time I'd need to battle (which was today, lol). There are also a bunch of items I don't have and I'd either have to trade for them (if people even have them) or go to the Battle Subway and buy them with BP (which takes even more time). Basically, any team I could make would require so much more time put into it than I actually have that it would be meaningless against people who have had ample time setting up their teams long before me.

Now, UU, on the other hand... I might actually do.

I'm wondering why I'm participating in the Pokemon tournament when I have enough store credit at PnT lol. I might just pick up X there and chill somewhere until the Smash tourney.

Just pre-ordered pokemon Y today. Turns out the gamestop by my house fell one man short of preorders to have a midnight release. Apparently if I would have gone in yesterday, my preorder would have allowed the midnight release to go through. I feel I trolled without really trolling. +1000000000 jerk points.

I'd like to make a shoutout to Leon for inviting me into "that" panel (I don't know if we keep it on the DL or what). I feel like I'm really becoming apart of the LA smash scene and making a difference somehow. I should also get a reward for recruiting because I'm filling up a car full of new people from Ruston and bringing them to play n trade. I even discovered one of Gunner's old rivals! We have smashfests every Tuesday, if you're nearby I suggest you hit us up sometime.

I didn't feel like spelling out the tier :( but I'm like a underused druggie. Like team has one glaring weakness but I keep using it
Aaand I feel dumb now, for some reason I thought UU was the abbreviation for Ubers, but then I realized Ubers has no abbreviation.

I blame Calculus.

Nah, we make sure people know who is on the panel. Who's in your carpool?

After WHOBO, I'm going to start looking into hosting tournies again. There's the ICE computer cafe in Metairie that opened back up, I'm hoping I can nail something down next month. One thing though: They only will have tournies on Sundays because they are closed to the public and do private events and parties and stuff on Sundays. It'd be like Open World I guess, but I have no idea how many locals will show up. Stay tuned on that.

I'm going for 2 weeks without wifi for Whobo. That's not the time to be inputting too quickly.

I just need like 3-4 hours to get some timing down, but I've been working on adding a new dimension to my playstyle for the past few months. I think I'll be able to unveil it, since I finally understand it. inb4iloseit.

I also remembered to turn tap jump back on.

Who's in my carpool? The only person you know is Eman lol. But two other guys from Tech that are pretty good. I don't think they'll place in the money but they'll get somewhere. Do we have an idea who's all coming? And if you could reply to my text Justin, that would be great!

So it's fine being that late? I mean, the tournaments I went to started in the afternoon so I guess it's just something I'm not used to. I do have a friend who lives in Pineville who could probably house me though if I don't feel like driving all the way back so late. How long do you think Brawl will go on? Unless my friend wants to enter PSA because he likes that game.

PSASBR isn't scheduled but I'm sure we can host a tourney for it given the interest. I love the game and always wanna play new people. :)

Dont know what said text is about, but please try your best not to be late. The tournaments are later in the evening as it is, don't want to push it back any later than it needs to be. Brawl seems to be running alot more smoothly lately so lets not ruin that. I expect 3 hours at the most for brawl. We'll just need setups to make it run by smoother.

There's a gap between Pokémon and the other tournents to separate the two communities and not have a packed store for the release (although its looking inevitable); you can take a lunch break in between events if you needed to kill time. There's a Quiznos next door and a 2Pauls restaurant down the strip PNT is on. It's also in the same parking lot as a CiCi's Pizza.

We took about 2 hrs for an 8 man bracket with 2 TVs. If we get 4, it'll be running pretty fast. Dont be late pls.
