Not many are gonna come from SmashBoards for this, is it even on AllisBrawl?

Rules:
Your counterpick rules are broken.
Winning player can't change character? **** playing DK then. Winning player chooses stage if loser switches character? WTF?

I plan to play in this tournament in the most annoying way possible.

Wait, is that youuu?

SB Gamefest '08 was my very first smash tournament, period... has it really only been a year? I'm glad this was posted so late, now the competition will be just as scrubby as last year (i remember like 5 ffa friendly tvs LOL).

Sorry Quizno's, Levi and I are gonna go **** this ****

Sure, some of us were thinking of going already from the sbcc.

More questions from me:
5. How much are entry/venue fees? Will there be a venue fee?
6. Can I bring a setup to waive the venue fee? Do you guys need extra setups?
7. Can I bring a melee setup for me and anyone else that wants to do friendlies?
8. Where exactly on east campus is this? (what room?)

is it singles only?

You considering coming to this?

I WANT A CHANCE AT WINNING THIS!\
EVERYONE GO TO QUIZNOS!

I looked on the pre-registration site and all it shows is Brawl and Street Fighter IV for the tournament line-up. Last year you guys had Halo 3, GH, etc... are you gonna have any more game tournaments or is that it?

There was a perfect DDR Max 2 machine on free play there last year... if you guys still have that available and want to run a DDR tournament, I will run it for you (i have a lot of experience)

We will be taking interest signups throughout the day and launching tournaments as time permits. Last year, time and space really became an issue. But we do plan on having more if all else permits. Please note though that even if we don't, we will still have 8+ Xbox setup for open play of a variety of games, last year's Rockband setup, the arcade, and the provided LAN computers.

As far as the DDR Max 2 machine is concerned, we are currently talking with it's operator and we are expecting that it will once again be set for freeplay. The rest of the games will be set at 1 quarter.

And lastly, hello everyone. Some of you may remember me from last year as I organized the event (It's my baby) and made the posts on these very boards. I apologize for being so late to post this year but it we have had our fair share of cluster****s and this event requires the cooperation of just about every department on campus to coordinate everything.

With that said, response has been even greater this year and we expect to see a larger turnout than the 250+ people we had last year. For those of you that came last year, I can't wait to see you again and to those of you that didn't, I hope you can join us this year even on such short notice.

Perfect Max2 machine?

The left side has buttons that don't register, the right side has a sticky right arrow, and the other arrows aren't so hot either. I used to play on that machine twice a week and would get a AA once in a blue moon

I got SDGs and full combos pretty easily last time I was there, that's all I know.

We've complained a lot and had that machine worked on by it's operator on several occasions. It is certainly in better condition than you remember it but I won't make any claims as to perfection. It is definitely usable as Mio mentioned. And from the looks of things, it will be set on freeplay for us as of tonight.

Ooh, I have another question. I understand you guys only have 40 spots for computers.
What about laptops?
I might have my laptop on me for the event, for PC gaming/emulation stuffs, but might not have it out all the time, as my #1 reason for being there is Brawl.

Are you guys gonna have a space with outlets for laptop?
(I know how hard it is to find outlets there)

That shouldn't be a problem. We should have some extra table and outlet space.

I guess imma bring my wii, my laptop, and my magical sd card of hax.

EDIT: I'm at the venue. They made me carry stuff. My hands hurt. If I lose the tournament, I have a john prepared.

Also, this morning, my jump button on my controller got sticky, so i took it apart, and then put it back together, then my r trigger wasn't working, so I had to take it apart again, then my l trigger wasn't working, ****

ill bring a controller for u Dantarion

I won the tournament. With my reassembled CLEAN controller.

I didn't lose a single match the entire tournament.

That "SCAR" guy almost beat me by playing DDD vs DDD on castle siege.
Mio got second...um....

I got 120 dollars in my pockettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

It was a well run event, and I am happy to say that there was only one person that used metaknight the entire tourney, as far as I know. I ended up using him in the final set twice, first, because I decided to mix it up and double blind pick metaknight after playing snake and dk all day, and again, because for the 3rd round mio picked rainbow cruise, which dk does poorly on, and my snake is iffy on.

Also, I hit someone with mortar+mortar+grenade.

good games dantarion, I'll get you next time. $40 wasn't bad for 2nd place, i was happy with how I did.

good stuff eric. takes notes children: metaknight wins tournaments lololol
+1 mk tourney wins for the tourney placing rankings.

bahahahhahahaa

it was fun ****** everyone at melee and making it into losers finals against mio and getting raaaaaaaped
btw you and robert are dirty pirates. LOLOLOL

nooo, it shouldn't count as a MK win I used snake/dk mostly.

im gonna start using Luigi again, he's actually pretty good Snake counter

Yeah, you took me from like 0-65% or something first life Luigi vs Snake.

Unfortunetly for you, Battlefield is my favorite stage :D
C4+mine+grenades+upsmash = A lot of stuff to get around.
And if you get around that....ftilt :D

Thanks for coming everyone. It was great to watch and I had a blast starting this event and organizing it for it's first two years. This will be my last year organizing it (at least I hope or think so) and it was a great event to end on. I hope you all make it back next year.

Eric stop jerking yourself so hard or I'll have to come down to SB and put you in your place

bahahaha. someone's mad because they didn't win a tournament last weekend.

dont announce how much you win if you want to keep winning money

you can bet your *** if there isnt a big tournament that same weekend some much better players will show up no matter what the notice is next year (since they now have an idea for the competition and prize)

as far as mk goes, it really doesnt matter until the top levels
because you should be able to beat scrubby mks (aka every non ranked mk) with any character, and srk beat tyrant in a crew battle match straight up so even thats possible

congrats on the win and i hope everyone had fun
