Unfortunately i can't stay for the sunrise tournament, as much as i want to. I totally forgot about it until after I booked my flights and it's super pricy for me to redo that. I'm a little bummed about it. I'm not even sure if i'll get to go to Tokyo because it's so expensive to get a ticket from where I am (some where around 30,000 yen there and back). I'll be visiting Kyoto and Osaka before the end of the month though. :]

You should give beta a ride. I will provide cheap/free housing if you give beta a ride

If No Skillz or Snake get a carpool set up, we'll drive him if he can make it down here. Housing also shouldn't be necessary for us, as it's a one day event and is a two hour drive for us.

Just replace "hobby" with "life's passion" and they might actually understand.

Hey guys! I'm going to be attending Syracuse University from now until 2016...so I suppose it's safe to say that I'll be up in Syracuse extremely often.
A little bit about myself, if anyone cares: I'm from the Bronx (NYC), I play Bowser..that's really about it, lol
Omega Tyrant linked me to this thread from AiB thankfully. I was a bit anxious about the solidity of a smash scene here, but hopefully that can be shaken.
So..can someone give me the low-down about upstate smashing? :]
Thanks!

welcome to the land that never was. in all honesty, syracuse is proly the best smash scene we have for upstate. just because a majority of our smasher are in the area or close enough to drive there. hope you enjoy it.
also congrats, syracuse is not an easy school to get into

Okay guys, weird question time.
I play Magic the Gathering occasionally on Fridays at Larger than Life Toys and Comics in Clay (Outside of Syracuse). One day, the judge pulled out a GC controller, and mentioned that there was someone who came and played Melee ocassionally. He also said that this player "went pro" a few times. Any idea who this might be? Is it any of you? Just curious.

It's pretty dead during the summer, unfortunately, but we will travel to stuff that's hosted in the fall, and we'll likely be smashing together rather regularly, as well. Get in touch with dan (h0leinthew0rld here) and david (dai luna here), they're also SU students.
Not a clue =/ Doubt he ever was really pro, though, unless he was from somewhere else and just stopped by, which would also be odd lol.Okay guys, weird question time.

Maybe... I mean i went to a marvel tourney in cuse a couple weeks ago, but even then, locals are pretty much 50-50 for me
I'm having another tournament in Troy on December 1. It's in the large room here, and I can try to attract more people. It'll probably be Brawl and Melee, but I'm out of touch with the Brawl scene. How do people locally/regionally feel about the MK ban now?

Would it be possible to get another tournament sooner?
As for the MK ban, I'm still proban, but I don't feel strongly about it either way, and will attend regardless.
I don't intend for that to be the only one. We'll try to do a local around September/October. I can't devote much time organizing these things and the club, so I need others to help out. We can arrange getting a decent, free venue somewhat easily and Smash is fun, so there's no reason not to have a tournament occasionally. If I had volunteers doing advertising and other preparation things like rules, it'd work out great because I can handle the venue setup and day-of tasks very easily.

honestly if we are just talking about upstate (and maybe even if new england game) then there is no need to have the MK ban. i personally am impartial either way as well, but i know more people feel "comfortable" with it, especially in nys, because most people don't have a good pocket MK... which is why it shouldnt matter if he wasnt banned.
the only people who could honestly use MK successfully enough would have been Cure and Pikapika, who are both inactive. and if NE came to any, the ones that usually travel here also don't need to go pocket mk.
id say, to make sure people come from syracuse still, or anywhere outside of albany, use the MK ban. it takes away the threat of REAL players coming, and makes those who don't know the match up less scared to throw their money away.
/real talk.

I could try helping in advertising, such as by creating a tournament page for it on AiB and seeing if I can get NY/NJ people to come up.
Also, for SKTAR, is there anyone in the region that's planning on going? Snake isn't going anymore, as well as No Skillz. As such, I need to know now if anyone here is going, so I can start planning for transportation and housing immediately if no one else here is.

I'm honestly fine without the ban, I also don't really think our region needs it. AFAIK nobody from Syracuse would choose not to go to a local just because of MK, seeing as nobody from upstate ever uses MK consistently/well.
Aside from MK not being a threat here, playing with the ban while outside regions play without the ban only causes us to fall behind, and perform worse OOS. I vote for no ban, mostly due to lack of outside consistency.
edit: on that note, some of us should really start picking up MK so we DO have that practice. MK legal won't help us as a region at all if we NEVER use him ourselves lol.

i would definitely vote for no ban as well. if i had the time to practice, and well a wii to practice on, i would definitely consider picking up a pocket mk just for fun, maybe for dubs? I also like the idea that i have seen at some nationals lately where it isnt mk banned, but in dubs you cant have 2 mk on a team. i think that is a big portion for why it was banned in the long run, and it would be smart, just in case, to do that?
i could definitely help advertise at University at Albany to try and get people to go, i could garuntee maybe 4 people? but who knows about freshman and what not. CJt and i have been talking about getting a tournament here, since we both work with residential life and have access to some nice rooms, its just expensive since we dont have a club yet.
