[rraawwrr]

Hey; if there is still room, anyone want to take me along?

 

[Tirno]

I don't think rides for Phase 7 (if that's what you're referring to) have been properly determined, except that if Kal goes, I get shotgun.

 

[Kal]

If I go, then I want Anoosh to sit shotgun.

 

[BRLNK88]

I'm going only if they definitely have B- or +, for reasons aforementioned.
Not only that, its a ***** of a drive for two games I don't even play anymore.
And even if I did enter Brawl, I wouldn't get that far.

 

[Noc]

If I go, then I want Anoosh to sit shotgun.

I'm afraid Anoosh isn't going so you'll have to settle with Edgar. And I'd rather bike to Dallas than be in that car lol. (Assuming he is going to do with Edgar what I think he was implying he was going to do with Anoosh...)

I sent an email requesting the room for noon-midnight instead, will tell you as soon as I get a reply.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

I can make it tonight or tomorrow. If it's possible, you should reserve the room from noon till midnight.

why do you want the room from noon to midnight?

 

[Kal]

Because most tournaments begin by 2:00, and we want the room open at least two hours early for friendlies and so that we are prepared in advance.

yall started tournaments at 4 before. i dont see why this one would be any different.

 

[Noc]

Ah, but this one is quite different: it is being advertised in it's own thread more than a month in advance, will have greater entry fees, and is meant for smashers even outside of Austin.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

uh oh. this is gonna be.............intense, for lack of better word.

if u do it for people outside as well, arent yall gonna be using all the TVs?

 

[Kal]

I was under the impression it would be Melee only.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

I was under the impression it would be Melee only.

apparently it was

but its not for another month later

 

[BRLNK88]

Good news guys, new laptop is back up and running, and ready to be used as the official recording set-up.
Clay no longer has an excuse to lose my awesome commentary.

 

[Kal]

Hey noobs, there's a smash fest at my place today. You can come over if I don't hate you. So I'll be playing alone as usual.

Anyway, Mitch (YU) needs a ride. Someone bring him to my house.

 

[-RedShadow]

Good job not letting people know in advance, Kal. You're such a genius.

 

[Kal]

Are you ****ing serious? It couldn't have been decided spontaneously?

**** off.

 

[-RedShadow]

Obviously you can't take a joke.

 

[Kal]

Because your post reeks of humor.

 

[DoH]

I might be in Austin this week for spring break.

 

[Noc]

Unfortunately, I'm in Kingwood for the break. *goes back to being bored*

The memory card thief strikes again! I lost Rohan's white GC memory card. It has his initials on it (RVR). I suspect Juan since he's mexican.

Hopefully SALD will respond tomorrow and tell us that we can have the room starting at noon on April 17th.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

im still in austin. ill be bored just as much Clay will be

 

[blackfox51]

I'm in alief, WITHOUT my controller =/
Too bad no one is w/in walking distance
Meanwhile, I'll just have to play Air Smash... not as entertaining as it sounds

 

[BRLNK88]

tee hee, Clay finally jumps on the racist joke bandwagon.
but yeah, I'd greatly appreciate it if the memory card was returned, after SB of course. The brand is MadCatz FYI. It contains all my windwaker laboring, which would all go to waste were the card lost.
And I need to beat Luigi's Mansion.

 

[Kal]

Luigi's Mansion is really fun, but it's too short.

 

[BRLNK88]

yeah, its been pretty fun so far, and the music is so lulzy, haha.
Sorta like hunting poes in Zelda, except way more fun.

 

[blackfox51]

I love all the Boo names... tons of hilarious, but slightly corny, puns
The craziest part of that game is having a flamethrower vacuum. How do they come up w/ this stuff?

 

[JOS.fm]

rohan, by windwaker laboring, do you mean all the statues in the nintendo gallery?

 

[BRLNK88]

no, I meant the ****ed triforce shard quest.

 

[Noc]

Ok, the room (WEL1.316) is reserved for noon to midnight on April 17th. I figure, roughly, the schedule will be:
noon - doors open, registration
2 pm - melee doubles
4 pm - melee singles
afterwards pizza and any side events

Kal, could you make the thread now? If you have questions, contact me or send out a facebook message to all the officers.

 

[BRLNK88]

I obviously won't be entering, so I'd be happy to help run the tournament, announce matches etc.
That way Kal can focus on playing.

 

[MT_]

YES I can finally beat my high school friend (will be coming to UT Austin and joining the smash club on the CAP program; he's a freshman at UTSA atm) who uses 0 advanced techniques and used to beat me with Sheik.

YAYAYAYAY

 

[JOS.fm]

no, I meant the ****ed triforce shard quest.

**** rohan, that one quest is just annoying, but it's nothing compared to all the hard work necessary to get every single heart container and getting all the statues. I thought that's what you were referring to and I was ready to applaud you.

was that the guy who came over last time? I can't remember his name.

 

[MT_]

Yea it was Neal. When he finds some good people to play against more frequently I can guarantee that he'll become much better. Anticipate his entrance as a newb next semester, and then anticipate his accelerated skill level!

 

[BRLNK88]

lol, but I don't care about statues, and you don't need that many heart containers to beat Ganondorf, albeit the snake form of his puppet was kinda challenging.
I just wanted to get the game over with, and it forces you to sail fruitlessly around the Great Sea looking for maps and big beams of light.
I really would've preferred more dungeons over a long annoying quest.

 

[-RedShadow]

Sooooo who's making the tourney thread again?

 

[Tirno]

Maybe I should just do it. Kal's too busy with his man-crush Kratos.

 

[Kal]

Edgar, why don't we make it together some time?

Kratos killed Hera by just grabbing her neck and snapping it. Everyone should have a man-crush on Kratos.

 

[BRLNK88]

But Kratos also got eliminated by Charizard in the gamefaqs character battle, if anyone really cares about that, haha.

 

[Kal]

Thread is up:

Endless Challenge

I used some sort of spiffy gothic font. I'm sneaky.

 

[Noc]

Thanks for making the thread Kal, it looks really professional.

About the number of setups, we will provide a minimum of 7 TVs (Juan's 3, Rohan and I's 4, and Dean's or Edgar's 1) and 4 consoles w/ Melee disc (from me, Juan, Edgar, Kal). Thus, we will need some setups so I like the rule of waiving the door fee if you bring a full setup. We need to make sure we have enough power strips too; I can bring 2 and Rohan and Juan should both be able to bring 1. Should we have a Brawl setup or two? Maybe only if we have Brawl/B-/B+ side events since almost everybody will be there for Melee.

Speaking of side events, we should get an idea of what would be popular now but I think the ultimate decision of what side events to do should be made at the meeting after taking a vote.

To make up for the fact that this April 17th 6th meeting will mostly consist of Melee, we should have a Brawl tournament at the April 3rd 5th meeting.
