Ive got a question for those who've been in Smash tournaments at past Otakons.

The tournament starts on Saturday at noon I'm pretty sure (the 1v1 one). Meaning that the line should start around 11, but being hands down the most popular game there, when do you think a good time would be to get there to start standing in line to guarantee a spot in the tourny? I don't remember how many are allowed in the tournament, but there's always more people there than expected standing in that line.

From my past experience I would wait next to the line and wait for 11am to roll around since they have the whole you have to wait 1 hour before the tourney starts to stand in line rule......plus from what I saw in the previous years the line will reach the 100 man limit in the first 5 mins :laugh:

Ever since Wiz and them cut out East/West/North/South, Evo World has been conflicting with Otakon ;[

I miss the good days when I could go to Evo East first, and then a few weeks later party the **** out at Otakon.

This Otakon will be ****. Though I dunno if it will be as good as last year's, but still.
-Rei
Won't be as good as last year's cause there's no DaizyStripper. T.T

But mannn. I wanna enter the Brawl tourney.
But I heard people make crazy money by selling their spot. o_O

^ I wanna know too. **** the Brwal tourney but **** if I can make a good 20-30 bucks for just standing in a line for an hour, I'd consider it.
NOTE: The cut off date for PRE-REG is June 17th: http://www.otakon.com/news_article.asp?id=466

Go reg. now if you can to avoid the long lines.
To add, you can still pre-reg up until JULY 2ND but you will be paying the at-the-door rate of $65.00. So if you wait until July 3rd, you pay the same as everyone at the door, but you get on the "shorter" line, which doesn't seem as short in the beginning until you hear about the at-the-door line :laugh:

That page is confusing but I saw the rest of it just before you wrote that lol. The regular reg page says up until July 2nd but the page I just posted says "July 1st" as the cut off for online reg @ $65.

Oh well, I still recommend signing up before the 17th cut off date so you don't have to pay $65, **** is expensive!

You can stay with Yo prolly, I think we need more people so we'll take you as first priority, Yo will confirm when he's on.

So with that said, Yo from what it looks like it could be;
Yo
Me
LOBOS
CK?
Waffel
Oath
Taj
BMX


That's a good split right there

Screw DaizyStripper. No JAM Project this year :(

And yeah, wtf, don't bail on Cristin. Or else you miss out on Alex constantly asking Seb for buttsex every 5 minutes during the night.
