WHOBO 5 - Mk banned! - October 19-20th, 2013 - Houston, Tx - 1 DAYS LEFT! PLEASE BRING SET-UPS!

[Valdens]

Xyro, whoever from San Antonio wants to go. Trying to get a confirmed list atm. I think there's another driver too.

 

[Oddyesy]

I hope that I can go.

 

[Ezzee]

Melee is guaranteed to be bigger than any previous WHOBO. i think it might be 4x the size evo was. so 696 x 4 =????

There is also ssb64 interest brewing so i can pretty much confirm there will be a ssb64 event. iirc you guys will get medals too. just like everybody else.

Am I the only one who noticed this? Did you mean divided by 4, because if it was times 4 that would be close to 2800 entrants. I did enter the melee touney and am kind of interested in how many people will be attending.

 

[Oddyesy]

Really? Smash 64? I might be up for that. Test out my dormant Ness skills.

He is trolling you. There WAS a separate Melee thread that was almost completely ignored. We really don't know how big Melee will be, because most Melee players have been pretty silent. I know there might be like 30+ just from Brawl/P:M/64 players that also 2nd Melee, but I don't know which Melee players are interested.

lmao of course there wont be 2800 melee entrants. i dont know the count as of now because i dont deal with money/registration until the day of the event. i guarantee melee will be bigger at whobo 5 than at any other WHOBO because this year its considered a main event.

 

[Good Ol' Tree]

Melee players aren't silent. Houston players just resided to Facebook, so I doubt they're advertising around.

I'd like to help you, but unfortunately I live in Houston. Does Megabus do any kind of service in Texas?

 

[Geoberos]

There's not really a problem on our end; Valdens is just letting Xyro know that at least a portion of San Antonio will be attending WHOBO. We just don't know exactly who for sure because we haven't assigned our carpools yet.

And yes, Megabus services Texas; Tesh has been reminding everyone to buy tickets early for $1 the past few months. Hell, ever since he found out it finally opened in Texas.

 

[Alex Night]

i know this is a long shot but ill come and team with whoever pays my ticket or most of it. I'm not expecting to get a positive response to this, but I'm just throwing it out there just in case I get lucky.

Oh dear... I fear for my family's health should he actually come. Hmmmm, I would be interested to say the least to see him come but I think the only problem is paying the fee to get in the venue.

Exactly what Geo said.

 

[OAM]

East Texas is fielding the following players for WHOBO for Brawl/Project M singles and dubs and possibly Melee:

me (ETFC|MikeOHara)
RaveMaster47
Psychoace
Minifox5

Only way we won't make it is if I start a new job prior to WHOBO (I'm graduating college with two AAS degrees in Information Technology on Friday).

 

[ravemaster47]

Yo sync, can you house three more people?

[OAM]

Also to add to what ABK has said, there is a La Quinta Inn and Suites within walking distance of the venue (if I remember right, the actual address is 6790 Southwest Fwy). and is $59 for double beds or $64 for a single king bed. This would work for most if either sync or esca get full on housing and the Holiday Inn ends up being full for some strange reason.

 

[Xyro77]

oh wow esca is housing? awesome. that helps a ton.

 

[GoldMegaman]

Melee players aren't silent. Houston players just resided to Facebook, so I doubt they're advertising around.

Yea thats true that the melee players moved to facebook. I heard there working on getting melee streamed and that abk will be buying clear. This is great for whobo.

 

[OAM]

oh wow esca is housing? awesome. that helps a ton.

yeah, he posted on Facebook in the event thread on August 6th offering housing. Surprised no one has taken him up on it though.

 

[Mew2King]

no one can help ;-; ill team with whoever helps lol

 

[steep]

I may have moved to TX before this! I would love to go to one of the legendary WHOBO's...

 

[Mew2King]

gooby pls halp

 

[Good Ol' Tree]

What part of TX, Steep?

 

[Zano]

are you entering 64 and melee too m2k? Not sure if you knew this was more than just brawl.

 

[TM_icecream]

M2k just come and win melee for the plane ticket money #duh

 

[pidgezero_one]

sorry M2K but I already have a teammate

 

[Xyro77]

There is also PM so thats another shot at money, m2k.

 

[Espy Rose]

Invite Wizzrobe.

 

[Alex Night]

Invite Wizzrobe.

I'm working on getting Wizzrobe, although part of me is gonna regret facing his Sonic in Project M.

no one can help ;-; ill team with whoever helps lol

What exactly do you need help getting paid for? Are you only interested in Brawl doubles?

 

[Espy Rose]

It was supposed to be taken as sarcastic.

 

[Alex Night]

It was supposed to be taken as sarcastic.

Oh.... Well, $#%# then...

 

[Tesh]

Iono M2K, you are damn near guaranteed to win Project M and Melee (thats 4 events/medals) and I see you are pretty good at 64 as well. Seems like you'd be able to win a good bit of money while having fun regardless.

I think it would be awesome to see you come to this, alot of people have mentioned it, but I don't think anyone is going to pay 200+ dollars for you to team with them. Especially with MK banned (so its not as likely you can just carry them into the money). Aren't you sponsored or something?

 

[Airbrush_King]

no one can help ;-; ill team with whoever helps lol

If your spending $200 to get here you probably will make your money back and some if you win. Take note there is a 500$ pot bonus for singles thats up for grabs as well. You still have some time to save money and plan!

 

[Alex Night]

Hmmmmm, it is the chance of a lifetime to team up with M2K and possibly face him too... I relish in such challenges.

 

[Tesh]

M2K is basically legendary with MK, known to never touch other characters in singles. There are going to be massive sidebets on how well he would do in singles. Multiple people have told me they would put up 5-20 dollars that M2K will not get top 8 without MK.

Personally I'm betting on M2K to get money in singles if he shows up.

^this. M2K is still M2K even if he isn't playing MK. We know he's able to play multiple characters really well based on melee. For all we know, he could have some incredible secret secondary that he's never used because there was never a reason for him to switch from MK

 

[BSL]

Wait who said he wouldn't top without MK?

 

[Xyro77]

Back at whobo 2 or 3 (cant remember) i think m2k reached top 4 in mid tier singles using IKE. He was beating people who mained mid tier for 3-4 years with a 5 day old IKE.

 

[BSL]

We like Ike!

 

[Player-4]

Ike is broken lmao

 

[pidgezero_one]

Are any Ike mains going to this? should team with M2K's Ike and call themselves Ike Climbers

 

[Mew2King]

LOL don't sidebet on me in brawl without MK (not even sure if i would enter yet). I have next to no knowledge or experience with other chars or MUs except MK vs <insert matchup>. I did this on purpose since 2008 because I decided there was no reason to learn anything other than MK vs <MU> since he can handle anything. I play many chars in Melee/PM. Only Kirby in 64 and only MK in Melee.
