Looks good to me. I reposted it

For my donation, I want victory. I want Melee at EVO.
I want everyone from the FGC to Nintendo themselves to realize how powerful this game is, even after 11+ years of tournaments.
I want the world to know that this game lives not because of the WiiSports playing Grandmas, the trend gamers, and certainly not the unyielding support of the company that made it.
I want to see the bright-eyed children of 2001 on the grand stage of Evolution 2013; no longer children, but fierce, fiery-eyed competitors.
I want this community's love for the game in numbers. Big ones. Numbers that can't be argued with.
Because most of all: I want to see fighting games truly evolve, and henceforth learn from the things that make Melee so great, just as I feel we've learned from them.
We can still win this, guys. Our numbers and passion are our greatest weapons. Our competition attempts to bury us with boulders. We will bury them in grains of sand.
But win or lose, we treat the results as Smash has taught us to: with no excuses. If we don't win, we didn't want it bad enough. And I for one, am very hungry.
TL;DR
I wanna win, mofos. No Johns. Hunnad dollas.

I've been keeping my eye on the contest and while I haven't pledged my support, I have been on the fence about it but things like:
I'm not certain whether I should take it as a shot or just a light-hearted joke. I'm having trouble seeing if this is a united Smash community front. I'm a Brawl player by the way.

This is actually hilarious. Can someone make this happen?
I figured it didn't need to be said that this is a united front... Even if, as a Brawl player, you aren't particularly blown away by competitive Melee (be it the scene or the gameplay itself), I'd think supporting the Smash community as a whole would be a no-brainer.
Even if Melee wins instead of Brawl, the smash community overall benefits.

It's no secret that many top Melee players aren't exactly fans of Brawl, and that many Brawl players resent comments made by some Melee players about their game. I figured this would be something that Brawl-only fans might actually want, considering it'd be payback in a friendly sort of way for a good cause.
It's a light-hearted joke in that it is a shot, but not how I think you're interpreting it. It's something that most Melee fans wouldn't necessarily want to do, but it'd be funny to see them at the mercy of Brawl players; basically demonstrating they wouldn't be at EVO without them.
Personally, I support Smash in all forms. I don't happen to like to watch or play Brawl, but I do have some fun with doubles.

Mango, you owe me $45 for having yourself and two friends stay with me one night during APEX. If you pay me, that money will go straight to EVO. :]

Well I just checked the donation blog http://shoryuken.com/2013/01/25/evo-2013-donation-drive-standings-and-rule-update/ and it says on two of the earlier posts that the drive ends the 29th, not the 31st. We have less time than we thought.

I'm willing to donate $100+
I want to know when the most advantageous time to do so is. It's so hard to keep up with the amount of information you guys put out. Also, I know I'm like so completely obscure no one really knows me, Prog might from Reddit, but Axe definitely does, we've been friends for a long time.
I want more of a Project M presence at tournaments, Melee-FC10 and BH2 were my favorite tournaments of 2012 for that very reason, and each of those were run on the highly inferior v2.1. I love melee, but with Project M, I'm actually motivated to go out and actually be part of the scene. I was never for the top tier of melee, except Fox is pretty fun.
I'd also pay to have Mango and SFAT team again, FFS that team was the greatest ever. Or else Shroomed and SFAT.
I would say signed objects from my favorite players, but if PM has more of a presence at big tournaments I'd be there to get signatures myself, plus, I'd probably want way too many from you guys.

You see a once pride and great man in front of you, now just a mere shadow of his former self, as an obvious result of the excruciating pain the evil and sadistic man known as "commonyoshi" has subjected the once mighty Mike Swaggar to. The poor creature cringes, twists, turns and cries in pain, as you hear him hiss in a very low and tormented voice:
"Yes...I must... for the love of the community..."
note: *NOT SURE IF ALREADY POSTED*
A stupid idea I had (but you know, better than say nothing): donate at least 50$, get Mango - if he's up to this - play a couple of serious matches against a Top player on a Stream (if he can arrange one before the 29th) with a character of your choice
anyone could be interested in this?

How is it a shot? We will get our top players to wear I <3 brawl shirts...what do you guys want? The prizes are there for anyone really.
Any official word on the controller giveaway/raffle? I'm waiting on that to donate, I would love anything signed by one of the the elite 5.
What about a signed copy of melee? For $(x) you can send it to someone trustworthy who'll be at a major tourney, they can get all the player sigs you request on it! This would be so ****ing sweet!!!!!
Also I think I remember ken claiming he had controllers on controllers on controllers during the KoC stream, has anyone been in contact with him?

Can SSBMO developers offer any incentives?
Also I don't know where else to put this but I have an extra Minecraft account and can raffle that out to anyone who donates $20+ (pretty much the price of the game except you'd be getting it + helping melee out at the same time)and sends me proof of donation. I just thought of this and I'm not sure how interested people are in Minecraft but those of you who are get back to me.

don't know if this is possible, but maybe a few top players who live somewhat close together (socal or norcal come to mind) could run a stream. even if it's just friendlies, i'd definitely donate (and I bet others would too) to see a mango/wes/s2j/lovage stream or ppu/shroomed/sfat stream for example.

How about offering lesson/critique for (x)$ donation? (x being whatever you the top players would want)
Like, for example, I'd pay at least 30-50 to get hax or mango critique and give tips on my Falcon, or PP on my Falco, etc. Of course, it'll have to be through video or skype or something

As a brawl player who follows melee and still plays it for fun on rare occasions I broke out laughing from your joke and the picture of Mango's head photoshopped for that shirt. I actually thought it was beyond brilliant. I don't think it would be something only brawl fans would want though. In fact I could see if someone trustworthy/reliable like Armada, Scar, Hax etc kept track of separate funds/recorded it for say PP, Mango, and Hbox for example where each has their own set donation amount to be forced to wear the shirt, it quickly getting done up to 1-2k per each of those 3 by melee players who might not like one of them. Especially people who got rest killed 4x in a match by HBox for example.
Also I want that Mango/HB Mario/Ness to be a thing.

Smash Journeyman
We want to see a match between Mango and HBox's Jigglypuffs where the only way you're allowed to attack is by using REST!

How much would we have to donate for all the top players to show up to evo wearing dresses?

You definitely made my day with that comment man. I had no idea one of my revered melee heroes, for lack of a better term but it fits, appreciated something I did in the smash community, even if it is just the red-headed stepchild, Project M.
