SJC is the closest to the venue.
SFO is the biggest but a little farther away.
It really depends on where your housing is.

$heen, are you not going to the tournament or just not participating? Which airport do you stay by so I can use it to land there.

I live by SFO. I'm not going to the tournament so you'll have to find a ride, which shouldn't be too hard.

Having to arrive by Friday at 9am might be tough for OoS

So, now that KOC2 is over, what's going on here? Only a few days left to register, guys.
Step it up, NorCal/SoCal.

$heen, I am almost certain I will be coming, once I confirm that OkamiBW can pick me up from the airport, then I will go.

I can pick you up from the airport if you need it.

Will this have doubles I forgot

In the OP, Sheridan has it listed as a maybe. It probably depends on how quickly Singles can finish up or the interest in having Doubles.
Sheridan can probably confirm/deny though by now.

I'm comin with at least 2, maybe 3 TVs (I'll try to come and bring them Thursday night but I think we'll arrive extremely late cause Crimson gets off work at night so I'll most likely be bringing them on Friday).
Stab isn't going, Okami?

Doubles will happen with a 90% probability. I will gauge the time situation as the singles bracket starts and take signups then if we have time (we have the room until 11pm but we need to start cleaning up around 10), so bring cash for that. Doubles is purely a side tournament and has no bearing on anything at EVO (doubles will be a side tournament, if at all, at EVO as well).

Some sort of crew battle would be super tight. Be it NorCal vs SoCal or perhaps a crew battle tournament like we had at DGDTJ.

Axe as #2 seed? Surprising
I don't think the seeds are accurate. They're more just placements.
And signing up last-minute has always been an option for NCR tournaments. Though if you do this you'll randomly get place in a pool without any regards to location or skill seeding. This has caused some insanely imbalanced pools in past tournaments because some high profile fighting game players are notoriously lazy.

68 is damn good for pre-reg. I have a feeling there are going to be quite a few at-door as well (including myself).
I'd be ecstatic if this broke 100

Someone PLEASE record Zhu vs Axe and also Fly vs Silent Wolf! Two awesome potential pools matchups that have never happened before as far as I can remember.

Ah, okay. Good to know, then.

Based on the information out right now, NCR pre-reg looks something like this:
ssf4 ae: 208
umvc3: 160
sfxt: 80
ssbm: 68
KoF 13: 42
Persona: 31
DoA: 24
Tekken: 22
MK: 19
Not bad guys. Not bad at all.

Supposedly, someone from (I assume) the Smash community is going to stream the pools tomorrow. And then Saturday, at 8 PM PST Melee's top 8 will be streamed on iplaywinner (which is the second stream, we *almost* got onto the main stream).

Good god this tourney is stacked.

Okay, turns out my assumption was right. Melee Pools will be streamed on Melee Pacwest at 10 AM PST or so (don't expect them to be on the dot).
