Uhm, sure, I could give you a ride if you were at ISR at 12:50. That's when I expect to be picking Jon up. You're bringing your cube, aren't you, Durand?

And if there's room, I suppose that goes for anyone who is at ISR at that time. No, I will not come to your house, and if Jon weren't bringing the TV I wouldn't be giving him a ride either.

I'll be waiting in the ISR lobby at 12:50PM. Do we need another setup? If so I can bring my Wii, but I can't bring a TV (mostly because it's an LCDTV and it lags).

We're fine for TVs. Hey Jon, think you could be in the lobby at about 12:50 instead of having me call you? Yes, I'm sure you could.

I figured out what that song was--or, sort of. It's some stupid techno song, although I can't remember which one. And only Tom and Jon even know what I'm talking about, and it's not very interesting, so... sorry.

The poster might be a little confusing because it's Pokemon themed, and not everyone knows that Pokemon Trainer will be in Brawl. More SSB characters would be good.

LET ME SHOW YOU MY MOVES!!:laugh:

Yes, tourney please.

It's cute, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with Melee.

What do you guys mean "a tourney?" A mini-tourney like we sometimes do? Sure, I can whip up a bracket.

If you mean putting up fliers so we get a bunch of people one weekend but we still only have two TVs and there's no $$ involved and lots of noobs waste our time, that's a bad idea. You guys know as well as I do that it really sucks whenever we have more than 6 people per TV.

If you mean a real tourney, get Eric to hound those Illinites guys. This is probably the last year for Illinites smash tourneys--I read in the DI that Illinites funding will be cut by about 2/3rds next year.

And if you mean a real REAL tourney, somebody go to that same place we always do SMYM, ask for Jessica, and ask if and when something like that could be done. They know that "smash brothers tournament" is something we have done with them regularly.

If you guys just want a local tournament, my fraternity is hosting one next Saturday. We\'ll have to keep the entry fee relatively low, but there will be one. Also, we\'re throwing $50 into the prize pool. I think I\'ll make a facebook event right now...

sup guys, haven't been on the boards or playing smash as of late, but I happened to see that tourney DsigmaPhi is hosting. If we are doing the crew battles, can we split up the top people to make things more even and enjoyable? I'd say, split up tom, matt, and alex to make teams more fair. Of course, if no one is participating in the crew battles, dont worry about this.

You guys still have weekly smashfests at weston?

I posted this in the facebook group, but I'll post it here as well for completeness.

SoCom ran a tourney for other fighting games in the Siebel center with cash prizes. They have good sized rooms and I don't think they had an aversion to money. Though I don't think they ever really brought it up. So I think this would be an ideal location for a large scale tournament as long as we don't say anything about giving money as prizes.

Apart from this Saturday's tournament, there's another public event coming up involving smash. On Thursday, February 7th from 7:30PM-10:00PM at one of the ISR lounges, they'll have a Video Game Night set up.

They'll have an XBox 360 with Guitar Hero 3, a Wii with Wii Sports, and an N64 with Smash Bros. I've been told that if we want, we can bring our own setups at our own risk depending on how many power outlets are available. They'll have one TV and two projectors set up, but I plan on bringing my Wii and a copy of Melee. If anyone is available that night I hope to see you there, hopefully with a TV. This could be a chance for us to recruit some people, if we find anyone decent.

Recruiting sounds like a great idea. Doesn't it get lonely when we only have 8 people playing on one TV each Saturday? I'd sure like to have some more noobs around.

Let's have posts be on the facebook group until Smashboards becomes readable again. This page took me 10 minutes to load and times out half the times I try.
