Going falco nitro? Hope he treats you better than he does me. My tech skill is just plain bad.

MLG did something that i though was really really really really really impressive that i cant stress enough that we and all smash community should do. During the big matches. Winners Finals. Losers Finals. and Grand finals. All the set ups were turned off except for those matches. That way people were kinda forced into watching. Which adds to extreme hype. I think at mlg we had just about eveyone (over 150) Watching the Grand finals Losers Finals and Winners finals. Which made it 100% more enjoyable for trash-talk/hype/support. I really think we need to start applying this to our tournaments which will bring us closer to a community and also prepare us for out of state tournament matches. People cant focus when trash is being talked about them during a close match with someone of equal skill which is gonna happen out of state (trust me i know Florida was backing up there players EVERY MATCH) (And i lost to Florida twice) Our main goal at tournaments is to grow as a community, and make ourself better so that we can represent our community at a national level. We should consider doing this.

MLG was fun. The only reason I didn't like the turn off all setups during winners/grand finals was because they were already denying us friendlies all tournament, and I was getting tired of that in general. It seems like a nice idea, although I usually watch finals unless someone pulls me over to play.


btw, anyone driving to these places and have a free seat?

Geneseo/Toracon(???) (still unsure whether going to that or GROAT)

MLG Columbus (we're only 6-7 hours drive away, and I dont feel like buying another plane ticket)

I think GROAT support fell apart under wallet johns.
And as it stands, I haven't heard of any other rochester people confirmed going with a ride besides me, and I *don't* have any seats at all (my ride is unrelated to tourney, he has stuff in his back seat that goes all the way into the trunk.)

I'm unsure of my exact plans for Columbus, but I was planning to drive there. I'd imagine there's plenty of people from syracuse and rochester planning to go, you shouldn't have much problem finding a ride.

Speaking of columbus, who wants to share a hotel room? ;)

I'd be down to drive to Columbus IFF other people were also driving. Which means my car will have at least one other person who can drive.

I'd be willing to do this...IFF you would be willing to take a side detour to NJ and pick me up lmao. I'm just gonna assume a no for that, so don't even bother answering.

EDIT: Also Acton where are you? I'm at RIT and if I could get a ride to Geneseo that'd be awesome...or actually Neil are you going to GROAT or Geneseo?

3) Fist Fights Galore.

Not being able to search in general is doing that to me. I hope this is resolved soon. Along with the whole "Go Upgrade!" thing on Youtube....

Arent they gonna have melee as like a no-money, enter for fun type tourney side event thing?

But yeah, lets play after. I never get to play with RIT kids that don't goto Jesses' place. More exposure to styles the better.
