INFO FOR THURSDAY:

My address: 5320 jillian lane, brewerton NY. Rochester people can take I-90 to the 481 exit, go north, take exit 9-N for I-81, and then get off at exit 31 for Brewerton. Take a right off the exit onto Bartel Road, follow to the end of the road (not very far, you'll see a McDonalds at the intersection), and take a left onto NYS Route 11. Make the next right turn onto Orangeport Road. You'll drive a little under a mile before turning left onto LeBeau Rd, then make a quick right onto Heidi, a left onto Jacob, and a left onto Jillian. My mom's house is the second one on the right, it'll have a tan chevy cavalier in the driveway.

I actually don't work thursday at all it seems, so people can come over anytime.

Some ground rules/tidbits:

There are two dogs, a dalmatian and a black lab. They don't get along well, so only one is out at a time. They might bark a bit but they're harmless. There is also a scarlet macaw, keep your fingers away from his beak lol.

My brother is mentally handicapped, please be respectul of this.

Don't trash the place obviously lol.

There is one spare bed upstairs and comfy couches downstairs with more pillows than you could ever want.

We will probably head out sometime between 4-5am.

HYPE!

EDIT: if any other cuse people wanna come up to smash thursday night they're welcome to come =D

I got my tickets reserved.

I'll arrive in Syracuse on Thursday at 6:48 pm, at the Regional Transportation Center, on 131 Alliance Bank Parkway.

And I'll have to be back there before 4 pm on Monday to get on the train back to Schenectady.

sweet, that works =)

In that case, Rochester can arrive at my place anytime after 7:30, to allow for any small delays.

Nice, good to know.

@Rob
Thanks for the advice. Every vid I saw had that stupid weapon. I hate to go pew pew, but megashark is obviously OP. Easily dispatched the Twins, only skeletron prime is left.

Not that this scenario will play out, but with two man out pools, it is very possible that some solid player will get snuffed first round. Especially given the unpredictability of regions that aren't well-known.

Neil is a pikachu with a fox and falco in his pool lol.


Vibe you're not going?

I think a couple of you guys can get out if you pull some upsets. We'll definitely have to go over some strategies in the car or at Sharky's when the time comes.

lemme teach you how to button mash like a champ real quick =D
speaking of this, I actually mastered the k prime mash and have switched controls over. Its not THAT much faster than normal mashing but thats only because I didnt change my down taunt. If I did that it would be excruciatingly fast.

tyrant space your bairs better.

just think to yourself, what would Kain do?

The answer is spam more spaced bairs.

So I've already accepted beating orion isn't likely so I need lots of falco practice friday
LOOOOL worst mindset
i dont know you but i figured id say,
sky also plays wario. lucky for you i play both. if you want to play some games let me know friday outside of melee bracket time and i would definitely be down.

I really like the Wario ditto and Olimar v Wario for the most part, so I wouldn't mind that at all. I'm just being realistic. You have a much better track record than I. Like you've beaten Leon, and I lose consistently to this moron over here named Vibe.

But yeah, I'll definitely hit you up for some friendlies.

I honestly think the way you beat me in the ditto Calm, that you can take on Sky. He's much better than me, though.

all three dpad options set to either jump or attack.

hold control stick down with left index.
mash d pad with left thumb.
slam up repeatedly on c stick
mash shoulders with remaining fingers.

I've played CAC a lot, so at least I'm improving on the Falco matchup. And Wario dittos are just really fun.
im just going to let you know now. im pretty sure upstate has a LONG running track record of people outside the top 5 not getting out of pools at nationals.

San, Xiivi, Ownasaurus, Pikapika, Jesiah, Dr. Grandpa, and myself are the only ones that have gotten out of pools at a national from this region

nah he's just stating facts, we've got the odds against us, that's all. I know I'm not gonna make it into bracket here, but I think I could have a shot at making round 2, and I'll be damn happy with myself if I do.

The thing is I was already being very realistic about my chances to make it to round 2 of pools. It comes down to how i do against Sky, really, and I suppose if the people I don't know are any good or not. I didn't so much as mention making bracket.

Then he comes in and is like only top 5 pr could possibly make it to bracket and does that thing where he reminds everyone he made it to bracket at a national.

As a region we should be cheering each other on at an event like this, not saying, "nah man, you'll never do it". Especially considering I have no beef with you at all Goggles.
