I hear they do but a casino in Waterloo?? nothx Waterloo is podunk
Wait a minute... Fall, aren't you 19 or so? You can't really say too much about casino quality when you aren't even allowed in one. And for the record, ours is one of the better casinos in Iowa.

Hmm I may have a small, SMALL loophole here. If my little thing this weekend is over early enough I may be able to make this tourney. I will see what I can do, and how long this tourney lasts. So now i'm a "maybe"

Me and Jesse are attending. I can bring a cube and a copy of smash and an extension cord or something. I'm bringing my awesome control dubbed "The Chew Toy" :D cause of the chewed joystick, I hope this doesnt interfere with "custom" controllers XD

Anyone mind posting the video's that those guys recorded? I'm sure that I'm in one of them, atleast 1 round, With team AsianCracker or whatever and I just wanna see how I did. Posting them would be much appreciated.

Yay my first tourny anyway MTKD will have the full results and videos hopefully. There was about 25 people there but only 13 entered singles but pretty much everyone did doubles =\ but overall I think it went well no major **** ups just everyone getting kinda hungry and Burger King being closed. We could probably do this again if enough people wanted to and they didnt even end up charging anything for the venue so thats good. Anywhoo i'll do shoutouts later probably im sleepy

i think u should host one once every month. Maybe one every two months if thats too much.

For a specific date tho, idk. Make sure it's on a saturday tho or even sunday would work for me. :laugh:

Hella Shoutouts!

Ian - Great tourney, fairly organized I'd say. Well done, and very good job in singles (and doubles for that matter).

Tim - Best Mewtwo in Iowa. Ever.

Nate - You've definitely improved since that last time we've played. Keep up the good work.

Smeesh, Mike Falco - Good to see you guys come up and school the rest of us.

Miguel and his friends - You guys haven't changed a bit. Not saying that's a good or bad thing. Just saying.

Smash 64 guys - Usually people who talk stuff on the Internet don't back it up, but from what I can tell, you guys did. In terms of Melee, on the other hand...

Greg, Chris, Bruce, Jason, and all the Mayhem guys (sorry I don't remember everyone's name) - Good show you guys. Especially Jason for beating that one Bacon+ guy in our pool. Too good for a kid!

Random guy from Grandview - Yay for random Des Moines smashers showing up!

JasTiger, EarthBowser, Echo - You guys didn't show. That gets a sad face. :(

Thanks V2K.
I still have to work on his L-canceling. and try any combos he may have
Not that any one wants to challenge me in a clone match. God that would be painful to watch.

As soon as the 64 was busted out, that distracted me for a while.

Playing smash64 i realized that... some of those characters have fewer polygons then laura croft's bra. the first one.

naaaaah dude dont even give me the sad face you know i'm down for tournies all the time, but this was at too short of notice, i had volunteered to work the saturday before this was posted >.> otherwise I never work the weekend lol

i'll make it to the next one, though. with better advertising and earlier acknowledgement, i'm sure you could get a good turnout.

Sorry about the delays in posting the videos on youtube, but I upload the first and second matchs at the same time and the first one will be on youtube and then the second video will fail to load to youtube.com so I'm not sure whats going on, but I'll try to get them all on.

To be quite honest, before that tourney, I played SSBM maybe 2 days before, If I had been playing before hand, like a month in advance, I probably would've improved, but meh, Everyone hit's that glass ceiling. I guess I'll just have to start practicing more.
