congrats on law school matt! Now you can spend the rest of your undergrad f'ing around and playing melee..
Hope everyone's having a good spring break. I'll try to get a local tourney going before the end of semester.

You... have that kind of power, kevin? Wow, that would be great. Hopefully some big names will come as well.
Also, congratulations, matt!

nah just trying to get you guys to play more competitively and get some non-falcon practice. I'm in talks with Indiana and Purdue to try and get a tournament series going so we can have some inter-collegiate rivalry to up the ante
Only thing is that I gotta find a cheaper venue for tournaments smaller than SMYM. 10$ venue fee is too much for locals, and i probably still wouldn't be able to break even if McKinley is my only option. If any of you guys know of a suitable venue that's significantly cheaper than $300 (how much SMYM's venue was), let me know.

This... is a totally brilliant idea. If you and/or Jack need any help, I'd be more than willing to do my part.nah just trying to get you guys to play more competitively and get some non-falcon practice.

As for the venue problems, I can't say I know of anything. My best bet would be maybe if you know somebody with a house? Or maybe a large apartment (if we're talking a very small tourney)? Possibly a frat house (Bibi...)?

How many people are you expecting for these tournaments, Kevin?

On a side note, charlie's favorite smasher is back!
bertbusdriver

who would that be? serious question.
uhh. 20-30 tops. At least initially. Hopefully we can eventually get some ppl from chicago and st. louis. We gotta go to some purdue and IU tournaments so they'll come to ours.

I was talking about renth, his least favorite haha. Trolling big time.
And i definitely agree that we should show up to their tournaments. Other than the fact that theyll show to ours, its just a good way to get out there. Id be down for sure, wouldnt mind splitting the cost of gas and whatnot.

The Union, possibly? One of their medium-sized rooms might be cheaper to book...
sirlaser
Smash Journeyman
I think the Union is a really high profile venue, so the rent is probably quite expensive. Maybe a classroom in one of the less used buildings on campus?
Triangle Fraternity can probably provide space for a local tournament of no more than 20 ppl, btw.

alright thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll look into the union when i return, but Bibi is probably right. Lemme know if you think of any others.

you can always just reserve one of the rooms in the dorms for free. cough looking at people living in dorms... cough... FAR has really nice basement rooms.

If van doren has any decent rooms, Id be more than glad to arrange that.

Congrats Charlie! I can't give you any meaningful reasons to choose UIUC over Chicago given your apparent lack of interest in engineering. Only thing is the melee scene there is a bit weak (No idea about 64 scene, but I think UIUC has way faster internet if you're in Siebel Center or DCL or something). I kinda styled on all of them last time we were at a tournament together
But seriously, congratulations. It's a great school, and I think it's a good fit for you. We've still got a few months to smash together, and perhaps the UIUC scene will still see Battlecow during the breaks. And surely for SMYM 14 and other Chicago-area shindigs.Oh yeah, watch out for those hipster chicks. They'll **** you mad hard. Figuratively and literally.

When we're on break, the majority of us will be in chicago. When you're on break, you'll be in champaign. The irony.
Are you ever gonna see us, Charlie?!?!?! (you damn well better).
And if for some reason our breaks are not synched up, ill hit you up for smash anytime and I hope you do the same for us. Either way, congratulations dude, that school is mad hard to get into. If you decide to go pre-med, you may end up interning for my mom at the hospital there lmao.

guys, check this out:

I'd be down to go to most of these, provided somebody would be able to drive me (I will of course pay for gas). Sweet 8 looks promising, as well as the one at purdue.

i gots no car, but purdue on the 14th would be a good tournament for us to go to. It's one of the closest (1.5 hrs) and their scene has a wide range of skill levels.
btw i'm really busy until after tuesday next week (4/3), so i won't be able to host smash on friday and probably won't show up to smashfests until after that date.

Yo just got a PM from lance of purdue. Our first intercollegiate smash tournament would be that purdue one on the 14th, but I need you guys to confirm so we can get the whole thing in motion. The more guys we get to go to their events, the better our chances of success when we run our own locals, so just keep that in mind when you're thinking of all those silly johns.

lol we don't need to sneak you in, it's still a tournament that other ppl go to. It's more about crew affiliation than academic anyway, so you count as one of us, at least in my book.
Fun fact: I skipped my junior prom to play brawl and melee with my buddies. That was back when we all thought brawl only looked boring because the metagame was still developing and people hadn't discovered fancy tech skill for the game yet.

kevin: bet you were disappointed when it turned out to STAY sh*tty. Either way, I know for a fact that I got nothing, absolutely nothing, that weekend, so no johns for me. I wanna get our name out there for a variety of reasons, especially the one you said: they will repay us the favor.
Also, for those of you in the chicago area: may 26th, there is a tourney in glen ellyn hosted by sveet. I've talked to him a bit and he's a pretty cool guy, I say we should all try to go. Kevin, if you even wanted to come out from Jersey, I could house you no problemo.

lol if i'm in jersey that weekend, I'm gonna have to go with Zenith: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=318068&page=4
went last year and it was ****ing sick. kage and axe went HAM in doubles.
i've spoken to sveet a few times, and i've been to a few of his tournaments before. He's a cool guy.
PseudoTurtle

If kage will be there, then I may have to go up there for zenith. And if linguini's there, then I'm there for sure, no question. He's the dude that got me to pick up a controller 4 months ago and i constantly bombard his ganon thread haha.
But if nothing else, I would love to meet the regulars in the chicago melee scene, supposedly the scene is mad good at the moment and i need to make up for like 5 years of not playing (I really wish I started playing earlier than this year).

Better than Reneblade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsbPfuVE3gw&t=2m34s
On another note, I can probably go on the 14th as well.
