The GA tournament's been there for a while and lots of people are already planning to make it. Bump this back a week, however, and you'll probably get a fair number of people (like potentially me) going to both.

*EDIT* Just swap your brawl tournament and this one. Won't make a difference for the people that don't play melee, but the melee people won't have to choose between 2 awesome tournaments.

I will be there as well.


Since hiroshi is hooked to Halo 3 now,


would anyone like to team for this?
Tell Brian, Halo 3 isn't worth it. I played it competitively long enough to know The majority of the community are douchebags who has nothing better to do than yell at each other trying to prove dominance and be hard ***** over the internet. The game it's self is fun I got really good at it. But once you start to get good the game will do nothing but piss you off constantly. The amount of random BS is incredible for a quick list of things that have happened to me.

1. People purposly lag the game so they look like super saiyans.
2. Shoot someone in the head with a sniper 4 times and there shield not go down at all.
3. Every now and then Plasma Gernades or "sticky" gernades will fall off of people when it's clearly attached to them.
4. And one of my personal favorites you push B to beat down about an inch from someone and it doesn't work for ****.

Point is..

Melee Community >>> Halo Community
Smash Bros Series (including brawl which sucks) >>> Halo 3
My l.ittle Pony the animated series >>> Halo 3

Brian... Melee, learn it, love it, live it.

Good luck. Here's a tip: Halo 3 is crazy repetitive once you learn how to handle everything that can possibly happen you'll win just about every game like I do (not meaning to brag by any means) The game takes very little thought, lead in with gernades and never ever go up against someone else when you are low on shields and the other has full. Learn gernade banks like if there's a group in front of you but not too close chuck a nade at your feet and bounce in their face and take the 1-shot free BR kill.

How's this.. add one of my old booster accounts Gamer Tag = Strenko

I only used it to help people get their 50s but I still BS on it occasionally, I don't have an XBOX of my own so i'm not on often but If i'm on when you are i'll gladly play you and show you stuff and or play you 1v1/1v2/1v/3/1v/4 or if my old doubles partners on we'll go 2v - anything

I actually think I was way better at halo3 than the smash games, it was just too simple as you said. Hide at the end of a corridor, someone shows up on motion tracker that they're running down the corridor, shoot 12 needles into their chest, they explode, and repeat. Too bad pegasus landing dubbed down on the internet last christmas or the 360 wouldn't have been sold :urg:

Dead Space is the most amazing non-RE4 or non-Silent Hill 2 game I've ever played.
Dead space looked good just from the commercials, can't say that about alot of games. Melee's commercial was so BAD, so was brawls actually, the only good smash commercial was the 64 one....(see i mentioned smash in my post :lick: sorry anyway though as well mwarhead)
