i think the worst for money is the jersey garden state parkway, where you have a toll every 1-2 miles (awful) and there's more cops than regular cars. it's very obviously a money laundering scheme more than a legitimate byway for travel. and then you can't pull off an exit to get change because the banks aren't authorized to distribute it because i guess they used to and ran out of quarters. THE TOLLS RAN THE BANKS OUT OF QUARTERS. ALL OF THEM.

if you pretend to throw in money and honk, you don't get a ticket. definitely saved us like $20.

this actually does work. i did it for like 4 straight years of my life. no ticket, saved me about $10 a week for 4 years, lol. ridiculous.

also, yeah scar you def. got a speeding ticket on the way there, i remember it was light out still and you were going like 100 mph in a 65 zone, lol. ****ing IDIOT.

 

[ranmaru]

LOL. Exact coins wtf.

And that's a useful piece of info. Too bad I don't have a car.

 

[Pakman]

Whatever, New Jersey blows.

 

[PGH Carroll]

At least we can all agree on something ^

 

[M@v]

^agreed

There's only two places in jersey I don't mind:

1.New Brunswick(APEX area)
2.Atlantic City(ONLY in the strip area though).

Everything else...its Jersey.

 

[GOTM]

living in PA has definitely shined some light on how much NJ blows. however, one thing i can still confidently say is - i'd rather be right on the ocean at a bar at night in the summer time than in the middle of a state drinkin.

but then again so would half of PA, which is why they all come down, lol.

 

[ranmaru]

.... Hmmmm... Ocean is a good view.

^ this man just steals a picture from my Facebook and doesn't give me any credit... Twice!

 

[M@v]

Lol. And you shared it too.

Your argument is invalid ^^

 

[~Nasty~]

I admitted to sharing it when I posted it, which removed all credit on my end.

/discussion.

Anyway, back to the topic, it was an interesting read. **** the new jersey tolls! NJ even charges us $0.75 to leave their state. Like wtf.

Lol I dont mind paying that one. at least your leaving the ***hole of america.

One time we had to pay 3 different tolls in the span of like 3 miles to leave NJ. Now i drive very cautiously through that toll death trap.

I remember once I was on a smash road trip and we left NJ over a one-lane bridge and it didn't have a toll. Good luck finding it though.

there's no toll crossing over 95 or at Washington's Crossing or any number of other places around where I grew up.

yeah one time i put "no tolls" into my gps to see how to get back to philly without em, took me through trenton area, lol.

not worth it, but awesome if you live there

 

[Deleted member]

it was mid-state i think? trenton sounds about right. it was a hella long time ago though.

for coming to CT I still think it's best to come up to Trenton area, 31 -> 287 over the tappan zee. No tolls, cuts the worst case traffic scenarios out on the turnpike and GWB.

 

[TheLake]

A toll is a toll and a roll is a roll...

 

[Roller]

Yo. Any chance you (Brawl) guys would want to come to the next Phoenix Saga? We've been getting ~40 entrants, looking like next one will be over 50 with out of state interest from multiple places.

Carroll and the Melee guys can vouch for the chill factor of MI tourneys. Should be hype. Hope some of you can make it!

Depending on time and day I would agree with this completely.

 

[AnseLm]

Does anyone know any brawlers who don't main Lucas in the Berks county area? Been too long since i played new people.

 

[~Nasty~]

Lol Anselm! Robfox is in Lancaster I think... But idk how far that is from KU.

 

[_umbra_]

There's a snake player from my hometown at kutztown... i don't think he plays anymore though, you might be out of luck

 

[M@v]

Penn State is having another tournament March 24th!

I started a smash community here at KU, we're an off shoot of the gaming club, it'd be cool to send him an invite

I'm posting this ahead of time so people know how to plan for it. This venue is absolutely huge. We also have over 30 people for the first tournament with little advertising. If we can get some OOS people we can easily make this a great tournament for everyone!

Come out guys!

 

[Sleek Media]

Exactly what part of "Pennsylvania" did you not understand when you read the thread title? Put your post in the calendar, not here.

Chill bro, RJ is cool people with most of us here in PA. And since we don't have much of a tourney scene going on right now, it is only wise of him to let us know he's hosting one within a reasonable driving distance. I support his post, and now I'm bumping the thread so more people see it. Lolz.

nasty don't worry about it, it's only sleek media

Don't worry guys, it's only umbra.

Well, me and Palpi go to Kutztown, but we play Melee.

**** Brawl.
Play Melee with us.

like.

i'm trying to get back into melee, so whenever you guys are free, post here. i'm not available all the time but occasionally i'd be up to drive out there, meet somewhere in between, or have you guys come here and stream.

Melee's so much worrrrkkk. Do you come to the gaming club here?

 

[PGH Carroll]

lol melee is EZ. just gotta shffl shine nairs on sheilds and punish rolls and have perfect spacing and tech skill.

brawl you gotta like... camp forever. even when your winning. now thats a lot of work.

 

[AnseLm]

I guess I'm just a lazy player then. And I can't stand the constant character grunting and controller clacking of melee. I'll play it casual, but I prefer the defensive wait and punish style of Brawl.

 

[Melomaniacal]

I used to last year, but there was only one other person who had any interest in playing Melee, and he also preferred Brawl. I would bring a Melee setup every time I came, but no one wanted anything to do with it, and I wasn't about to play Brawl.

Seconded. Melee was a lot more fun before became a cpm (ala Starcraft) contest with wavedashing. The greatly reduced lag on virtually everything makes brawl more responsive and better controlling, which is one of the reasons most players prefer it. Smashboards pretty much IS the melee community. Everyone else out there is Brawl.
