I think that it's too far (yet again....). I checked the train fairs....would be about £60 MINIMUM just to get to the venue....unless the prize money is a 4-figure sum, I'm going to have to pass =/. Thanks for the invite though!

if you look harder (I'll show you how if you want) you can get much chearer fares. And you can buy a railcard which will give you a 3rd off for a year. It wasn't an invite I was just saying what brawl tournaments there are out there.

Ah fair enough. Well thanks for the info then =P

My girlfriend plays as well so if we drove somewhere, we could split the cost of diesel between us, I reckon that'd work out cheaper

I'm from Bournemouth and want some offline experience. Any tourneys I could participate in or local people I could play?

First off, something to consider- full blown tourneys in the UK are very rare. You're more likely to find regional tournaments but even with these there aren't that many.

I don't wanna put you off :) just giving you the lowdown.

I take it you play brawl if you're talking about 'offline' but unfortunately there aren't any brawl players that near bournamouth. There is another player in Bournemouth but he only plays melee.

The nearest brawl tournament for you would be London and thats on the 24th

haha no way. Unfortunately there aren't any players that I know of that live in portsmouth. Theres me and my crew in Southampton that aren't too far but don't think I knwo anyone there. My advice- you are a student right? Find out if theres a gaming society and you should be able to get people interested there XD

I'd be more than happy to drive down to Totnes. Only about an hour and a half from here. Had a longer trip to Southampton :p

I could Drive L-J down if he wanted, so if you have any dates in mind just let me know. That way I might be able to get time off work just incase.

Unlikely that I can make this as trains are super expensive right now. Shame, I really want to play some smash.

Ben, have it on the 3rd! I'm back in soton then, and since I don't know if I'm gonna be able to play smash up here I'll be wanting to play.

Also, if we have it then I can host it at my house - closer to the station, more space?

Anyone interested?

Cool, finally get to meet the legendary Andy! It's really unfortunate that our term times work like they do usually...

And woo, capture card! Finally I can start making my 'Video of Random **** that Happens When Duncan Plays'! I bet all the games that get recorded are really tame =¬_¬;=

I'm busy around xmas time. I have too many family and social obligations that I have to do. Sucks cos I want to play smash, but also I can't afford the train.
