Yeah, I'd play Melee if me and Lee aren't doing our ******** ROB vs MK friendlies constantly. I might even enter the Melee side tourney if it were like, two bucks. Also, I dunno if I'll be able to stay up as late as you this time, Taytay, I've been getting like..5 hours of sleep a night so I'm constantly ready to crash. I imagine I should be able to make it though, just making johns in advanced.

As for Lowtier vs Teams, I would prefer brawl teams, but if we do low tier, it should probably be the bottom half of the cast (odd man in or out, idc) unless we can find a definitive cut off between "good" and "bad" but like, the middle is so mushed in brawl I doubt we could. Either way, I know who I'd be using.

Vegta, do you think you could get me Brian's number? The only kid here that wants to play (the one that'd be coming down with me) only plays with me like..once every 4 days. Every day he ask me if I wanna play and I'm like "Sure, just give me a call after your last class or w/e" and he never does. lol

Oh, and how many of your shreveport guys would want to go to the tourney? I can fit 5 people in my car relatively comfortably, but I'm intending to be in BR the whole weekend so I dunno what you guys wanna do with that. (As in friday through the tourney and to mid-sunday)

Oh ****, I was just thinking friendlies, and now you guys want to do a melee side tournament. Totally down for that.

I wonder if the state of louisiana as a whole still doesn't know how to fight a good peach....:chuckle:

I guess we'll just see who shows up at Gameware and take a vote from there. I'm thinking Brawl Singles first, so that doesn't go too late. After that, I'm up for whatever, especially if the turnout is similar to the last one. Again, we can just take a vote.

There's a very small chance I could come to this. I have both the 19th and 20th off, but there's a tournament in Tallahassee the day after this one. I'd like to do both, but the tourneys are in opposite directions so that's a lot of driving. About 4 hours to BR, 4 back, 2.5 to Tally, 2.5 back.

My vote might end up not counting, but it goes towards teams. If low tier is held in its place, it would cement my decision not to go. Totally not a threat btw, just the truth and I probably won't make it anyway.

I just wish you guys could hold tourneys on Saturdays though. Due to the 4 hour drive and me always working 9-6, I'd need two days off every time. If it was Saturday, I'd just need the one and would find someone to crash with after work friday.

well I have work that saturday but i'm sure everyone will be at my apartment after the tourny for friendlies? ...maybe Ill try and switch shifts.

im pretty sure we dont mind housing people sudai/houma/manko/pritch or whoever needs a place? just dont eat all our **** and stay for 4 days.

but peach dittos sound fun? although haven't-played-melee-inawhile johns in advanced(wtfs an lcancel, not that peach ever cared)? lol ... we'll jus **** the melee rotation with dbl peach team


but since im prolly not gonna be at the actual tourny ill jus not worry about voting on the side tourny :o

I guess my vote is for teams since it would go by quicker. I guess I could house a few people too if ya'lls apartment fills up, Eric. But I got class that Saturday (at least one as of right now >.>), so they may have to leave at a random time.

I'm probably down to crash somewhere and play mad friendlies. Anyone over there play guilty gear? I'm pretty bad at it but I'd like to get better, and playing people who'd rock me is as good a way as any.

i think we got 4 going atleast, also i wish we could get more people into GG in this state, but i do admit i am kinda lazy to get people to learn how to play. it seems you either pick it up or you can't. My brother is trying to train some people now, but i know they wont get as good as me,him,our friend kurum, and stone from new orleans. sad face

So it's looking like teams so far. Though, it'll ultimately be decided day of, by those who are actually there.

There is ONE exception to this. Manko, if you decide you'd like to drive out here (maybe with some other Fla. people?) for this and the fact that there might be low tier would keep you from coming, then tell me, and we'll do teams. It's been a while since Fla. has been here, and I know you know some La. people. If running teams (which is the consensus right now anyways) would get you here, then we'll run teams.

Don't do it just for my sake. Like I said, I'm torn atm and it's more likely I'll just do the FL tourney. I'm supposed to team with GMoney from Jacksonville (ROB/MK) so I really don't want to miss out there either. You all have seen how well that team does. ;)

The Panhandle Manhandlers as a whole can't attend since they're going to a YGO tourney in Pensacola. So the plan so far is for me to house them there (they're actually an hour away from me) then Saturday they do their tourney in town, and I go to Tallahassee for Brawl.

Hello, LA.

Just a semi-new player that started playing in LA in June 07, and went back to AZ in July.

Brawl sucks.

That is all.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ATVSmash

p.s. I don't suck anymore! :D

Also, I'm supposed to be MMing Mr. J, the guy that came in and started **** talking everyone in LA. I'm not sure if he knows I'm from here or not.

this is not eric.

ROFL. dude. please pwn mr. j. he is trash. he was 4 stocked by one of la's worse players (nicknyte, who actually lives in az now.) and for a while he would NOT shut up about how much we sucked. even tho one of our nubs went and pwnd him and yeah... just **** him for me plz.
u coming back to la any time soon? i want to play melee.

pritch, u should stay and play melee with me. i was going about even with vidjo in friendlies the first night of fc:d, but it's been a long time since then. id say he was winning like 6/11 ish. i also had a close first round set with xelic at final smash 1, but ended up getting 2-0d. me and smilez had an epic tourney fight, but once again i lost lol. 3rd fight of the set im about to get 2 stocked and some how go beast mode and get him to like 120+ on his last stock. then he kills me.

but i'd love to play even tho my melee is probably a little rusty. maybe i can get kyle to come out.

if theres no tv for melee im totally not coming to the tourney. ima call someone when it starts and find out.

If he hadn't improved, I wouldn't even have worried about it lol.

But Axe and Vectorman both told me that he's gotten better, and that I shouldn't underestimate him (though, apparently, I'm still better)

Wish me luck on not choking!

Btw, there's a SLIM chance of me being in Louisiana in December, and a good chance of me being in Louisiana summer next year.

TAE, even if he got 100x better, you'd still **** him. I mean..come on, this dude was garbage. Even Battousai wouldn't fall for BThrow > FSmash 4 times in a row like Mr. J did. And Battousai is horrible at smash. He -is- LA's joke.

<3 Batto.

I'm definitely going to the tournament itself, and I'm definitely bringing a cube and tv to be used as a dedicated melee setup there. What I do afterwards remains to be seen, but I could certainly see hanging around afterwards.

Fun fact:

Brawl sucks.

Anyone that honestly thinks Brawl is better than Melee probably sucked at Melee or didn't even play it at all.

ive played competetive melee since day one. its not that brawl is better i just find it more fun. people get tired of playing the same game for 7-8 years. but dont make a remark like that in this thread buddy. many people in la played serious melee and DO prefer brawl and i can promise you they didnt suck. i thought everybody was over the stupid a$$ melee vs brawl debate.

Fun fact: i talked to m2k and even he prefers brawl now. and i know me AND m2k dont suck. just stop. K. sorry. not really.

Yeah, that's why I worded my sentence the way it did.

I'm sure you enjoy Brawl more, but I didn't say you honestly think Brawl is better.

Chillin feels the same way; he (implied) that he thinks Melee is better, but he just plays Brawl because he's been playing Melee for several years.

p.s. I said probably

So yeah my friend is having her birthday party next Friday so I'm still going and can bring my Wii (and possible TV), but I have to leave with all of my stuff after the singles division. If singles isn't first I don't think I'll make it. Didn't make it last month, so I'm somewhat hype. Only question is how early should I get there, I want to get some friendlies in too but obviously I won't be doing that afterwards. What time to the good people start to arrive?

In a bizarre twist of fate, due to Mr. Gustav, I now have 2 Saturday classes I need to attend which means I have to take off work. One of those Saturday classes is on September 20th, the Saturday after September 19th, the day of Gameware 4. Which means ultimately, because of the hurricane, I can go to Gameware 4! Maybe? Still don't know where it is or if I'll have a ride.

Hey there all, I just moved down here last week for college. I don't suppose there are any Brawl tournaments going on tomorrow at Lakeside or Clearview Mall in New Orleans, is there?

Alternatively, anyone in here go to Tulane? We should get together and Smash it up some time.

Hawks, your profile says you're in new orleans. I'm also in new orleans. Toss me some gas money and you have a ride.

Only thing is there's a possibility that I'll be spending the night. Kinda playing it by ear atm, but there's a chance.

Me and a group of my friends are gonna attend this tourney and i was wondering what were the rules on the first match. Is it a double blind or what? Oh, and one more thing; what does "advanced slob picks" mean?

Clearview would be news to me 0_o, but those tourney's are usually wack anyway. Go to Gameware, the info in the OP.

You can call double blind, but most people there are either young kids that you'll pwn anyway or people that aren't douchebags that'll wait for you to pick before they pick so you really won't have to call it. As far as stage picking goes, apparently we're stage striking this time with 7 neutral stages (one person says they don't want to play on a certain stage and the other person does the same and it goes back and forth until there's one stage). Next fight, the loser declares a stage (full list in OP), the winner picks a character and the loser counterpicks their character. Don't know if Dave's Stupid Rule (same stage can't be used twice in same set) is used, but I assume not. But yeah, the hot place to play is Dibbz on vets, I live by there but there was no one tonight and my Wii is at my friends house.
