mundun8ndugu: well sheik is nerfed!!! which means I may be able to play pikachu! plus dk vs sheik is much more winnable for dk, as in not free, lol. idk, its somethin new, and from what i've read it's much more balanced. plus falco is less CHEAP.

john and quaz: no more fighting on the internet, I don't like this! I don't care who started it but stop, you can make fun of me, but this is a no no. oh. and lonejedi, you can also make fun of him.

I had tons of fun at the smashfest. I think I'll play blast corps and try to beat steve's times eventrually, but for now, I want to play it because it was and still is hella fun to play.

and I don't think it was the alcohol that made me go MAX OVERDRIVE SANCHAZ MODE. I was just playing captain falcon.

Anyways, I hoped everyone had a blast as well, hope to see you guys at IMBD or sooner.

Madison is in a good location already. Somewhat center of all the smash locations in WI, and not too far for Chicago people.

It helps that Madison is only like a 4-5 hour drive from the twin Cities area in Minnesota. MN is already on the outskirts of the midwest area as far as I know. As in smash is a dead zone west of the twin cities. So a chance for a large tournament with people from WI and Chicago would be appealing.

I have no idea if anything happens in Iowa, but I doubt we would see anyone from Iowa unless they live between here and waterloo/cedar rapids. Overall, I expect the tournaments to always be lively here once people know a smash scene exists and is doing regular stuff. Establish good tournaments for people to come back and for the word to spread. I think that's all we really need to do. Let time do the rest.

idwest isn't anything like east or west coast. I see their tournaments and they look so hyped the whole time. I WANT THAT! I want people to say that wisconsin has awesome tournaments, and eventrually have like keits or like a mango player to come by. Idk. I just think it would be really cool for wisconsin/midwest to have some exposure.

On a unrealated note: I made rank in mvc3! yeaaaaaaaaaa

You should give me hosting tips so the tournaments can run smoother and make people want to come back. :)

Also, we're running more games, so there should be more people. As Mundungu said, since they're there already maybe some MvC or SF players can be convinced to try Smash. Just don't let them see Brawl lol

More games don't make for bigger tournaments, just ask Webster about that.
Pot bonuses and sponsorships do.

omg spikes, I'm so naive. it seems the smash scene has gotten smaller over time. well. me and ace will try our best for attendance...

btw spikes, the blast corps scene will expand by me soon, :). I just ordered a copy.

and I know more games doesn't equal more people. I wonder if I can get sponsors around the university of madtown, its worth a shot.

oro is a ***. needed to get that out

Being established as an org. on campus meant we could get a school sponsor for something. I forget the details about it, but another thing to look into in future.

You need a department or full-time staff member to sponsor you, but we're not academics related, so that's going to be hard to procure. We needed a sponsor to hold events in the union with more than a few non-students, which is why I got Carson's instead. If you're talking about applying for funding, the process is long and tedious and not worth it since we don't have anything to spend the money on.
