Thinking about attending my first tournament, any advice?

[IncomingGhost]

So, IM NOT YELLING is coming up next weekend and registration closes today. I'm very close to the venue and could easily make it there. There are some things I want to get sorted out

-Is there a default cost for just going? I'm definitely not going to play yet (Can't even wavedash and L-cancel effectively :[ )
-Any tips for how to act?
-Things I should look out for?
-Anything else that's important (I got the deodorant thing down, since I know that's gonna come up)

By from what you said you should work on your tech skill a bit till you get a hang of it. You should act clam if you're going in freaking out and thinking "i'm so nerveous" you won't win. Look out of thinking "this guy is SOOO much better then me I'm going to get destroyed" unless it's a high ranked player like PPMD you should think everybody as equal and that you have much as a chance of winning as they do.

I'm not even going to bother playing. Just gonna spectate. When I can beat a level 9 cpu consistently, I'll work on tech skill

Ok that's cool. I hope my advice does help you in the future though :D.
