I could see about getting a group for ABQ for this, but getting said group to pitch for gas for a tourney that doesnt even have announced prizes would be pretty hard.

Also what's up with the stagelist for brawl? Does it not get neutrals and counterpicks? and WHY?

Normally for Brawl tournaments we play with 3 stocks. If you choose 4 stocks then expect your tournament to take a very long time.

If I go, I am going to run the timer on everyone. 4 stocks and 7 minutes? You can't even finish those games.

Please, please 3 stock.

hey Sinz these guys are new and making their own scene. Props to them.

but seriously you guys should look into the ruleset a little better.

I MIGHT be able to make this. But any other ABQ melee player coming would get punched in the jugular so I can make some money :p

the irony of lambasting a new smash scene in a state where smashers are scarce and disappearing is just amazing, guyz.

we can sort the rules out easily, and i'm sure the runners of this tournament will be open to our suggestions.

I think abq as a whole would be interested in this since cruces is pretty easily accessible from here. I might even be willing to offer up my car to head down for this tourney.

Honestly though the ruleset needs changing and prizes need to be announced for further interest from me at least...

I think for those who are serious about wanting to go to this should message the TO from the first post because I'm pretty sure he was sure that this thread was dead but ABQ has necrophelia'd it to hell.

like my pal ShadowPhoenix said:
We are mostly concentrating it for Melee, we both hate brawl.
but since we have also been practicing in Brawl, we might as well go for it.

Bring in more people, and show them what we are made of...

Since I got pwned by one of the twins at:

this will be my rematch

well it would be better if the starters where an odd number and you used striking instead of picking it at random but i feel like i'm being to whinny so i'll let someone else ask for that.
