And no tripping. And hitstun and wavedashing!
That was obviously called for.
But regardless, playing a game 7~ years old continuously is frickin' boring in lots of ways... So Brawl is Brawl and Melee is Melee.

Man I've been away from the boards for too long. Smash64, Melee or Brawl - I'm still up for it, ladies! And I still claim to be King of the Dayton-area Smashers... just an out of practice one for the time being. Let's fix that, shall we?
Kix, I'll be outta town from like Monday or Tuesday until the 14th or 15th or so. Anytime after that and before school starts up - with enough of a heads up - I should be up for something if you can find someplace to host it. I may be able to nag Reside or Nano enough to join in, too.
Mike B - playing a game where your character can move without being punished, even if it's 7~ years old, is a lot less boring than you'd imagine d;
You were supposed to PM me when you wanted some Smash. That scared of the missiles, huh?

If it is not too many I may just host it at my home. I am completely interested in doing that. I'm trying to get others back into it as well and get them serious this time.

Well if you want to get into serious competitive Melee - without leaving Dayton - I'm the guy to talk to while the summer is in. I'm pretty sure I have the most tourney experience of any Daytonite, and there's little debate about me being the best. Me or Reside, anyways.
I'm really itching to get some smash in - think we could set up a date to plan toward? No pressure or anything, I just want something solid too look forward too. Maybe sometime on the weekend of the 16-17th?
Also the thread you linked too - it's been discussed ad nauseam already. Best thing you can do to bring back Melee is start hosting things and going to things other people have hosted. Just announce which game(s) are going to be at whatever you're hosting, don't even mention those which aren't. Anything even remotely close to a Melee vs Brawl thread is just going to annoy people.

if there are any sizable melee tournaments in dayton, depending on the date, I may be down for bringing a carfull. I simply choose not to believe in Brawl's existence.

If there's a tourney in the Dayton area I'll try to make it (I need this; i haven't had a good, competetive game since 06'. So a tourney/smashfest would be good for me cause I neeeed some practice.)

We have a tourney coming up in a few weeks near Columbus. It's about 1.5 hours from Dayton, but I guess that's still kinda close. Here's the link if you might be interested.

All the big cities are at least an hour away from dayton, and since I don't have my license it looks like ill just have to keep looking for dayton smashers to meet up with, but next chace i get, I'll come to one of these and get some much-needed practice time.

You can get some much-needed practice at a smashfest, right? Doesn't have to be a tourney.
During the school year I got together with a number of people (such as Dizzynecro) at Sinclair and played Brawl. I think it was in the basement of building 5.
If no one can host anything, maybe we can try to get some Melee going on over there. Kix, Fizzle, if I bring a wii/cube there think ya'll could make it? I'd be up for Smash64 or Brawl, too, but I'd prefer Melee.
Anyone else up for, say, weekly Smashing at Sinclair? Sound reasonable?
BYOC, of course.

Since I'm like 15 I'll have to hitch a ride and get my parents to ok me going to some random basement on the Sinclair Campus, but M2K is one of the best smashers around and he's probably about my age so I'm gonna keep hope alive.But if things work out alright then I'll see if I can make it. btw where is youngstown anyway?

Does anyone live near Berea, Ohio? Provided I don't get critically injured this season, I may be playing football for/attending Baldwin-Wallace College and would like to see if there are any melee players near by

Are there bi-weeklies in Columbus? I saw something about them a while ago, but never saw if they actually took off.

I just wanted to know if anyone is in the Central Ohio area that would care to get with me (and perhaps a couple friends) sometime to smash it up. I'm in the Newark/Granville/Heath area, about 30 minutes east of Columbus. We never get to smash with anyone but each other and frankly, I destroy all of my friends in both Melee and Brawl and it gets kinda boring since only a few of them beat me on occasion. That's not to say they can't get better though with some different competition. Well, shoot me a PM if you're interested. Take it easy.

Anytime anyone has a tournament or smashfest in the Cleveland area PM me and maybe we can work something out. I have a group of friends that may wanna come along and I'm sure that we'd add something to the smashfest/tourney. So, PM me or whatever if you're needing some people. Just FYI though, I can't drive.

It seems like there is some dying interest in north east OH (akron and cleveland areas) for some brawl fests and tourneys. I say lets all put our heads together get a venue and try to set something up. Who's interested?

Smash Apprentice
I don't exactly have plans just yet, but I know that the mall in Marion, OH would be big enough to hold about 75-100 if there were to have a tournament or whatever up here. It would basically be the halfway point of Akron and Dayton, so both you guys can come up, too ^.^
I was thinking of having an event in mid October or closer to the beginning of November. I was just wondering on who would be available/interested in sometime in that date range. PM me or find me on AIM: Static3445...either way, I would have to know in advance to put down a deposit on the place.

i know i am im tired of playin online.
im about 20 mins from akron(15 if i speed) and cleveland
does anybody library offer a venue or something, cause i know last year the library up here let gamestop hold a tourney.

I'm interested, however, I cannot go very far out (no driving, and can't drive until my brother gets his license). There's a library close by where I live though (20 minute walk), they let people bring a gaming console to the place if you ask ahead of time. The only problem I could see with it is that it's a library, and this library is pretty strict with noise. If it gets too loud, we could be kicked out (at least, that's how it was when I was over there a few months ago). I don't know whether or not they'd let us host a tournament for money there, but, I could check sometime if you really needed me to or I could get someone who goes there often to ask about it.
No guarantee though.
The library close to me as I mentioned above does allow video game consoles in the building. However, you have to get a reserved spot and day for it I believe. I don't know about hosting tournaments there with money in mind but, that would be something extra to look into if anyone is interested in this. You'd have to drive to Cleveland Heights of course... and meet up with me at the library and see if we can get something set up or not. I know I have a bunch of friends who would be interested as well.King Yoshi said:
If we had to, we could go to the next best thing, make it a Smashfest instead. Dunno though, it could get very loud even if it is a Smashfest. Not only that, but, last I was there they had only two set ups. A plasma screen TV and one on a cart, I don't even know if they offer the cart one anymore. And if they don't, where it would go is where this other plug socket is. So, if anybody had to, they'd have to bring a second set up.
Yeah, so, if anyone wanted to check it out with me just let me know. I'm kind of swamped right now but, I'd be interested in helping getting a tournament somewhere in my area.
Speaking of my friends, one of them usually has a gameathon every month and has most of my friends and myself gathered at his place to play anything (Brawl, Street Fighter Third Strike, Halo 3, Melee, Smash 64, Mario Kart 64/Wii, Naruto, F-Zero, and some other stuff). We usually have two set ups, both are usually Wii but the second set up switches from Wii to PS2 to 360 while one Wii stays where it is. It's a spacious area but, the usual amount of people we have fills the space. Also, you wouldn't be able to spend the night the first time and maybe not ever depending on the amount of people there. I'll get back to you on that though.
I'm thinking of asking him if we could possibly turn it into a monthly Smashfest and maybe get a few people from here that are interested to come as well. I don't know about this yet though, I haven't asked. This is mostly a thought of mine, so if anybody were to be interested in this as well, let me know. If we couldn't do it at his place (meaning, not being able to have any of you guys at his place) perhaps we could find another place or something.
I dunno, talk to me about it when I have something to report. I'll try to ask him this weekend about it.
Jeez, dead zone here, like 30 minutes south of Canton...

I'd really like to see something start up on this weekend in the Cleveland area. I've heard of something about a tournament at Mentor, but haven't seen anything yet. It'd be really great if something could happen and we could get some brawlers together. It's unfortunate that I'm the only serious brawler I know around my area (somebody who'd be willing to drive out to a tournament...) otherwise I'd do something myself instead of just talk...
I might be hosting a brawl tourney in northeast ohio at our library. Me and my buddies live in Chesterland, Ohio and it would be at the Geauga West Library, right next to West Geauga High School. And possibly in a couple of weeks, I'll keep updating.
P.S.- not sure of the size yet, mabye 20-30

You should go to that smashfests in the Cleveland Common Grounds thread, Cleveland has a bit of action (although im not so sure about the SSBB scene), so you're more likey to find poeple to play against than someone who lives in Dayton, the city with the most bad smashers who think their good and the least good smashers who are actually good. Seriously, WHO ELSE LIVES HERE???
