*Note for Zelda's transformation*

Due to a community discussion, the transformation for Zelda into Sheik, whether accidental or not will result in an immediate transformation back into Zelda regardless of positioning. Failure to do so will result in a stock loss. It was deemed that the lag from the transformation is punishment enough.

So if there's less than 30 people, you're going to give 2.5 % of the pot to 2 people? Sounds pretty ********.

*Edit* just noticed "payouts are subject to change". Sorry

Let's MM again if we don't play in bracket, I'm still salty (and I must avenge NR)
Sure thing! I still aspire to be the undisputed ZSS slayer (in a 6-4 matchup =D). Still need to beat Salem, Dakpo, and Quiksilver though. =P

Edit: Btw I'm already a Marth slayer. Who is man enough to refute this claim? I will be accepting all challenges =)

I don't turn down MM's in general anyway, so feel free to hit me up!

Pretty sure that is a super gimmicky team by default. I can't even imagine what kind of setups there would be =x

He lives 25 minutes from me =P I'll bring his soiled socks back home to him.

Beat ya to the punch my friend. :yeahboi:

Also imma see if I can talk Tech_Chase into coming to this

:phone:
*appears*

Yeah, so I'm pretty interested in attending this. Ideally, MI would just drive here again but I find that to be highly unlikely. So I need to see what my options are, as far as traveling.

EDIT: My wallet is crying looking at the prices of busses right now.

Sadly, the greyhound RT is the safest, fastest way but more expensive (we're talking about 120$ or so)

or you cna megabus around the state to get to Toronto which I don't suggest in doing.

When I looked at greyhound that **** was wayyyyyy more than $120 round trip. Unless I'm missing something here...

I mean I HOPE I'm wrong. I would be okay spending 120 provided I can get housing and Ontario shows me a damn good time. :denzel:

EDIT: Oh I see now. Yeah its like $128. Dannnnnnnng.

I can probably deal with it.

It's road to Apex, yet double MK is banned in doubles...

If anything, we should be running the Apex ruleset, since it's an Apex qualifier...right? Or @ the very least preparation for Apex. Pretty sure they have double MK legal, and practice vs that would help...especially considering it'd be a more than popular pick for teams.

I have to agree 100% on this.

And dang it. I want to snag Will as a Team Mate.

And.. I'll go to this.

I asked Keitaro himself a while ago and he said he's considering banning double MK at Apex (go to my SWF wall for proof) and iirc Alex Strife said they're probably just gonna end up using the Apex 2012 stagelist again

Doubles isn't considered for apex points

Also, SKTAR, SRT, and Long Island, Revival Regional where all Apex Qualifiers with the Japanese Ruleset.

Also, we never (formally) had a Japanese Ruleset tournament in our scene before, and this won't be the last tournament until Apex. I figured it would be best to prepare for both scenarios (the event that Apex may run Japanese, or their previous ruleset) since a ruleset has yet to formally be posted.
