i'm going to pound 4. if you play smash competitively at ALL, and you live within a 160 mile radius, and you are able to make it, you really have no excuse not to go.
like tant said, it's not just a tournament, it's an experience of a lifetime. i didn't even make it out of pools at COT4 and i had a freaking blast hanging out with OOS'ers and watching matches. Money johns are the dumbest excuse to make at this point, considering it's not til january. honestly if you don't go to pound 4 when you live so ****ing close, you should just quit smash (poyo style) people are coming from CANADA and EUROPE and probably south america for this ****.
go, or hang yourself with your gamecube controller (make sure you get the white one with the extra long cord, unless you're deez or sin)
