The Ultra-Official Illinois MELEE Thread. (new player list, updated tourneys & fests)

[mista-sprinkles]

So are you the Samus Oro or is that another guy?

 

[Oro?!]

Another guy, I get that way too much. lol

 

[mista-sprinkles]

Another guy, I get that way too much. lol

lol just clarifying. My brother said he was going to mail me my controller from home so it'll probably be a few days before I can play, however, if you get your cube soon just say the word and we can meet up.

 

[Fletch]

Got my cube, now I just need a copy of Melee since I scratched the **** out of my 3rd copy and its no longer working. Got 4 GC controllers too.

 

[Oro?!]

Keep it up Fletch, people need to start playing again in Chicago and the burbs.

 

[Fletch]

Sprinkles and I are playing tonight if anyone else is interesting in the Depaul area.

 

[mista-sprinkles]

So i know more people are on this thread so hit either Fletch or me up if you want to play.
We both live in Lincoln Park so if the commute isn't too long we could meet up somewhere.
I now have a tv and cube, so just byoc.

 

[Fletch]

Good games yesterday Jon

 

[mista-sprinkles]

If you have time i wouldn't mind playing again tonight.
As mentioned above, i went out and bought a used cube so you would just need to bring your controllers.

 

[Oro?!]

Ugh, can't wait til Winter quarter starts. I live over an hour west of Chicago currently.

 

[Fletch]

What dorm you going to be in Oro? Sprinkles happens to be literally 2 buildings down from me.

 

[mista-sprinkles]

I think most of his classes are gonna be in the Loop, so he will most likely be living down there, but all students get U-passes so he can get up here for free in about 20 minutes.

 

[Oro?!]

I was planning on living on the main campus with some DeBrawlers... not sure how that is panning out though. Will keep updated.

hey friends! this is pretty close to you guys. i'm generating hype for it. we have the best from the midwest west coming, along with lain, atomsk, and even eggz all the way from the west coast. housing is free and at the venue, and the party afterwards will be legendary. Don't miss it!

(ps, i know it looks like a bawrl tournament, but it is also melee, as per eggz' request. it's just getting started as a dual brawl & melee event, so dont worry, i'll be putting up the melee rules soon)

 

[radical00edward]

Hey i live in Des Plaines and i have a bunch of friends that play! We prefer melee. Anyone know of any smashfests going on?

 

[Rat]

I'm starting to do smashfests. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=293997
The first one is this thursday.

Though, I'm not really that close to des plaines. Googlemaps says 45-50 minutes.

 

[Fletch]

You're from Oak Lawn Rat? **** I might go make this tonight, do you guys have a spare nice controller? Mine is at my apartment but I'm going home to my parent's place for the weekend which is about 5-10 mins away.

 

[Rat]

uh. I have my old one. The control stick isn't the best. It tends to float with plugged in. But other than that it's good.

I'll see if I can find a controller at home, really wish I checked this thread before I couldn't get back to my apartment.

 

[SDM]

I'm not sure if this is still updated, but I am staying in Chicago (Brighton Park area, so Southside I guess?) and work at Broadview, IL. I aso go down UIUC on the weekends. Let me know if there are smashfests I can hop on.

 

[O D I N]

Good god this thread is ancient.

Afraid I don't know which direction to point you in, kid. There's gotta be something. Maybe one of the other vets knows.

I live in Schaumburg, actually. Grew up in EG.

I've been out of the smash scene for a LONG time though. I wouldn't be much competition I'm afraid.

 

[SDM]

Hey, I don't mind driving to Schaumburg for a smashfests with a couple of you. I'm a bit rusty too. Interested?

 

[Spazlol]

I have to give a heads up. My house can't be use for smashing purposes, TV recently broke. But if you guys give me a general idea of your location and time in mind I'll get back to you.

 

[videokilledtheradiostar]

Oh ****, I haven't been on this site in half a decade. Looking to start up smashing again. Will be in Lisle/Naperville area in December and am down to have a little smashfest.

I remember the last smashfest I went to was at your place. I also remember sandwiches and or lasagna.

This guy is the real deal, folks.

[videokilledtheradiostar]

Haha. Time flies. I was 15, I think. Now I'm 21... sad.

 

[O D I N]

I was 21 then.

****, I'm old.

 

[onionchowder]

There's a bunch of players who smash regularly at UChicago, and I'm trying to play new people. We're in Hyde Park, south side chicago, join our FB group "UChicago Melee" if you can make it down here!

I'm 21 too, and I feel like a really old kid.

 

[O D I N]

You kids can get off my lawn.
