Update: So Masky talked to me about holding the fundraising event in fall with the large influx of incoming freshmen and just a larger population overall, and Rohins and I agree it would be a better idea.

Who would be interested in a Gainesville tourny in late June?

The gaming club president said we'd pay $5 to play for a charity event (i.e. March of Dimes) and he'd give out money in the form of a gift card. We're renting a room at the Reitz Union (for like $30) and they said they'd provide some TVs but I don't know exactly how much.

Then we could have a mini tourny at my place (I'm only saying mini because i think only like 14-16 people could fit comfortably) or just a fest. And of course I'm housing for anyone who doesn't wanna make the drive back so soon. (Very successful smashfest and housing last time Orlando was here)

You guys would still have to bring T.V.s to play at my place afterward.

Usually when you make a thread about a tournament, it doesn't work out. Just saying. Haha.

If I can get a ride/driver's license I'll be there fo sho, 3-stocking people with my pro Ness. And it's for a good cause so double yesz.

What exactly is "late June", though? I'll be at a family reunion the last weekend in June, so I just hope it's before then...

So..........

Is this still happening, or no? I was actually looking forward to this tournament as well as the one at Hookah Hut.

I miss the Gainesville smashers. Very few people play Smash here in Jacksonville that I know of. :/

Werd, I'm just scouting.

I'd be down.

Is anyone besides Fred and I around in Gville this summer?
Oscar and Blindghost (steve) are the only other two.



But going with Raph, I'm just going to talk to the prez on reserving a room in July (since UF students are on break after this Friday between Summer A and Summer B).

Does Saturday July 18th sound good for you guys?

That sounds perfect for me. After my mom gets back from Peru, but before my little bro's birthday. If this gets confirmed, I am SO there.

I mean, other than the people I usually smash with.

Which is the better part of Gainesville smash.

I guess I meant OTHER melee players

So... yeah...

I hope no one forgot about dis. It's set for this Saturday according to the opening post.

Is it strictly Melee, or are there gonna be other games on the side? I was going try to see if I could bring BlazBlue or Street Fighter IV if anyone's bringing PS3s.

Or am I like the only one still thinking about this tournament.
