If Wayne comes, he can help me bring a setup/TV/power bar, so you can put me as tentative for all three.

Confirmed! As long as I don't work. If you had put this up last Saturday, I could have booked it off.

Put me down for one cube + Melee for now. If need be, I could possibly bring a TV but its ****ing heavy and my parents don't like me lugging it around everywhere.

I can bring one Wii. Possibly a Gamecube. If I get a ride, I can also bring a TV.

sweet, I don't have to bring mine ^_^ First K-W-C tournament that I have been too without bringing it. Seriously, Sit 2, KPL, Phoenix 1 and 2, the ones at Brian's house, and the most recent one.

If anyone is worried about using an HD TV for Melee, there are Component cables available for the Wii.

HD Melee is cool.

I've tried it too, I have a set-up in my house.

RGB Component Cables, Set Wii to 480p, enabled Progressive scan.


The component cables are supposed to allow the Wii to process video fast enough to keep up with the TV you're using. How could you find lag? What did you do when you set up for HD?

I'm trying hard to get the shift taken but there are only a few people left to ask.
