Would anyone be interested in a melee/brawl tournaments in Coquitlam B.C.?

[LFL]

I was talking to an owner of a used game shop about competitive smash yesterday, and he voiced interest. He has a venue we could use and is willing to invest into these tournaments to make them awesome. Before i go ahead and start organizing an event, I'd like an idea of how many people would turn out.

 

[Patooty]

Melee - yes

Brawl - if it's on the same day as melee, and not happening at the same time as melee (must be after) then maybe

 

[Blunted_object10]

Yea I'm interested in Melee in fact we just had a tournament on Sunday for Melee in Port Moody

 

[Gannonspetmoblin]

these keep getting farther and farther from my house =_=

depends on where in coquitlam

 

[JulyZerg]

im down for it = p

 

[Sion]

No laggy tvs and I'm there.

 

[2G00d]

Ditto.

[LFL]

No laggy tvs and I'm there.

By laggy tvs you mean lcd's? I told him to buy regular tube tv's from 20-27"

 

[LFL]

depends on where in coquitlam

They would be at a place on Coast Meridian

 

[Sion]

Yeah, i meant lcd's. Regular TVs are the only way to go for melee.

 

[cedrick]

yes to both. there are a decent chunk of smashers who live pretty close

 

[Clouderz]

count me in

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

They would be at a place on Coast Meridian

****, that means something like an hour for me to walk there! That's SOOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOONG!!!

 

[Blue Yoshi]

I'd be in for all the games... depending on when it is and if I have alot of school work to do.

 

[Yakal]

YESYESYESYESYES

coast meridian? DAAAAAAMN

aight melee only plx

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Dammit Yakal, isn't that practically next door to you?

 

[JulyZerg]

um..thats really really far from me O_O

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Sooooooooooooo is this happening or what, it seems people are starting to forget about this already...

 

[Metà]

I'M DOWN

holy **** something is actually happening in Coquitlam

too bad everyone there sucks

gg

 

[JulyZerg]

yes...........

 

[Harrisburg]

announce a date and more interest will be shown . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . maybe lol

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Or just announce anything. ENSURE A STRONG LINE OF COMMUNICATION BY COMMUNICATING!

 

[LFL]

Ok. I just wanted to get a feel if there would be enough of an attendance to make this worth while. I will talk with the owner today and let everyone know when he gets back to me.

After Talking with the owner, i think the tournament will be on Saturday Oct 3rd. We have enough Gamecubes but, only about 3 or 4 tvs and 3 wiis so far. If you guys could give me some feed back on how many you think we will need that would be appreciated. I will give more concrete times when he gets back to me. Hope to see you there!

 

[Patooty]

Where is this... "there"?

 

[Blunted_object10]

tell us more about the venue! How big is it? How many people can fit? nearby places to eat? parking? etc.

 

[~Firefly~]

One more detail that would be vital to my attendance: is the venue easily accessable using public transit?

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

Just knowing what street it's on tells me it's probably easily accessible by public transit.

 

[LFL]

I believe the venue is called Home Video. The address is 3274 Coast Meridian, Port Coquitlam. The venue is roughly 3500 sq ft from what the owner has told me. I live in abbotsford so I'm not too sure about public transit but I'm sure there is a stop close enough. Parking shouldn't be an issue due to the location of the store and from what i recall there are a lot of places to eat around.

 

[~Firefly~]

Okay, well if I can find out how exactly to get there, I should be able to make it. I will be going primarily for Brawl *puts up flame shield* but I'll likely dabble in a bit of Melee on the side.

 

[breez]

Hey guys - unfortunately this is trying to be a more brawl geared event. YES we already know there is a huge melee scene in BC, and YES we know "how much better melee is", but there are about a million other events throughout the year for melee, so while we will be holding a melee tourny for you guys, we are trying to keep it primarily brawl!

I will be posting directions and public transit stuff in about a week from now. For now though, tell your friends! We want BC to get an actual brawl scene going.


Thanks guys, and please don't look at this as hate towards melee, just more love towards brawl

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

... look at this as hate towards melee...

He said it, not me.

 

[~Firefly~]

Any word on start/end times? I would like to confirm what the bussing schedule is going to look like for me.

 

[Metà]

I probably won't be going to this if Brawl is the center of attention. I only have so many hours I can dedicate to Smash this semester due to heavy homework loads, and I want that time to be well-spent. (ie: not waiting for painfully long Brawl matches to finish)

There goes 3 potential set-ups.....

 

[Yakal]

yeah if it's centered around brawl I wont be going lol

and there used to be a brawl scene...and it was basically the melee people anyway but we all got bored of it so =(

 

[LFL]

Unfortunately, Due to my work schedule, I will have to post pone the tournament. I'm not sure when i will reschedule too at this time. Sorry.

 

[~Firefly~]

Arg, I was looking forward to this too. X[ Ah well. Such is life.

 

[Asa]

Aw, darn, wanted this to happen.

 

[Yakal]

This would be very difficult to get to...The coast meridian bus doesn't run on weekends lol

 

[Lib3r4t3]

If brawl is hosted, quite a few from Okanagan will prob come.

 

[StarWaffle]

aw **** this thread had me excited
