Parking:
There's a huge grass field across from my house.

If you've driven a ridiculous amount of time (a few hours+), we could most likely give you a couch/bed/mattress/floor to sleep on. I'd say we can sleep five extra people comfortably, but more if necessary.

Brawl Rules
Basic Rules:
-3 stock.
-7 minute timer.
-Items are set to "off" and "none."
-All sets will be best out of three matches, except for the losers', winners', and grand finals, which will be best out of five.
-The tournament will be double elimination.
-All playable characters will be allowed.
-In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
-No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
-In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
-If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. In the rare case that both stock and percentage are the same, a one round one stock overtime will be played. The characters and stage will remain the same as the previous match.
-Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
-If a game ends with Bowser doing his Suicide Klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.
-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings before a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
-Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
-Stalling* is banned.

*Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs most end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

Additional Rules for Double's Play:
-Life Stealing is allowed.
-Set team attack to "on."

Additional Rules for Low Tier Play:
-Will add this ASAP!

last time was the first one that held Melee. Since it was only Brawl till then, there wasn't a whole lot of people for Melee yet. Panhandle Manhandlers were there of course, and some other guys from Pensacola and Panama City. A few from Louisiana were supposed to show, but missed out on it.

There's new interest in the game though, so it should be able to grow. I'll work on training people here in Melee and have it available at our Brawl smashfests. I'll also have Tatsunoko vs. Capcom available if you guys want to try it out.

Speaking of which... Ruse, do you want to just hold a smashfest at your place tomorrow? I doubt there's many people at UWF right now due to the break and we'd probably get more players / setups at your house. Easier for guys like SkakerBaj & Bummerz too.

The turn out was pretty small last time, but there's only one way to change that :p.

I think that Melee will have a lot more entrants this monthly because a lot of people were rushed to leave last time. I know that Manko, Ram, Drumma, Rice, and Boomstick will probably show from the good ol' Panhandle Panhandlers. Myself (definitely), Holy, DeCoN, Bummerz, and a few others should enter, as well. Even if the turn out isn't huge you should still come. Playing with the PM crew is really fun/difficult.

Hmm. I'll think about the Smashfest and send you a yes/no text before the night is over. If we do, we could also hold it a bit earlier than 8:00 (6:00, maybe?). I'm done with school, so I'm pretty much free for the next month unless I'm recording/practicing/playing shows, which isn't incredibly often.

Some of my friends are interested in holding a decent sized practice tourney. We held one the other night, but only for seven people:
1. Ruse aka Mariah (R.O.B./Mr. Game & Watch/Meta Knight/Donkey Kong)
2. Camus aka Mike Waters (Marth)
3. Lime Juice aka Dustin (Kirby/Donkey Kong)
4. Mike Love aka Mike Love (Olimar/Pit)
5. Griff aka Alex Robinson (Link/Young Link/R.O.B.)
5. Stone aka Bill (Marth/Mr. Game & Watch)
7. Orca aka Vlad (Wolf/Toon Link/Diddy Kong)
are the results. Small, but really fun. I got to use my new alts a lot. We did double elimination and 2/3, just like a standard tourney. Camus actually beat Lime and Mike, which is really weird/interesting.

Plus, you should train me in Melee. Jiggs, Marth, Doc, and Sheik are all fun as s***, and I'd love to actually fight someone who I don't own (Lime, my friend Joey, and DeCoN are the only people who really enjoy Melee, but they're not really into it, so).

Ruse.... will i be seeing some of your kickass Jiggs skills on the low tier?
Ehhh. I'm not sure. I dunno if she's still kickass at all.

I've been playing Melee more, thus not playing my Brawl Jiggs very much. I try to stick to different mains each game so that I don't confuse my play styles (Fox/Falcon/Pikachu 64, Jiggs/Marth/Doc/Sheik Melee, & ROB/G&W/DK/MK Brawl). I was playing Marth and Jiggs in Brawl for a while, but then it became really hard to go back to Melee. Now that I don't play the same characters in different games it's soooo much easier.

I've been trying out Link, Mario, and Samus lately. They're all fun.

Why the f*** aren't we holding a SSB64 tourney? That'd be crazy/retro/crazy retro.

Edit: ...Wait. How did you know I played Jiggs?

That's the same reason I haven't tried picking up Samus again in Brawl. That, and she's no where near as good...

Watching Tudor's vids really tempt me on it though.

I've been playing quite a bit and feel like I'm getting a lot better. Manko doesn't meat ride me anymore (he's still better than me), which is pretty nice. I like where my Game & Watch is going, and, although I don't think my DK or MK will be ready for PCola #4, they're still pretty fun and somewhat reliable.

lol, I think you've got the definition of meat riding a little confused.

we do need to play more though. Only once since Holy left so far.

I fail at language.

I'm up for friendlies at any time, man.

Ruse, when did you start picking up DK,

And is he not the coolest MOFO ever?
Like a week ago.

Coolest? I dunno about that. I enjoy ROB and G&W more, but he's definitely up there.

I'm better at melee, but i might play brawl. But i don't play that at all, that might not be a good idea.
