[Xatic]

I will highly consider coming to this

Thanks for hosting btw! MI needs more people to step up and host more events!

 

[JakieWinks]

This is so convenient for me, I live minutes from courtland center. I'm mainly a P:M player but I'd practice melee for awhile just for this.

 

[2ndWind]

I may be able to attend.

 

[Pizzaman]

I made some changes to the thread

 

[Nutsack]

just FYI this is the same day as Shuffle V, an MLG sponsored event in Columbus, I don't know if the overlap will affect attendance, though.

 

[Pizzaman]

I know it is, but this is when the venue was open haha

 

[Pizzaman]

NEW VENUE!!

 

[Hyper Crasher]

I'm actually interested in going to this, main issue is probably getting a ride because of living an hour away from Grand Blanc

 

[Pizzaman]

you should definitely come, I'm sure someone lives in your area that plays

 

[Hyper Crasher]

I'll ask around and see if anyone in the area would be interested in going to this


EDIT: Have you tried posting this to the Michigan Melee FB page? I'm sure you could find a bunch of people willing to come and play.

 

[Pizzaman]

I have. and hopefully they are

 

[Divine Mercy]

I will be there! And here I thought GB had no smashers. This is awesome. Ive had little chance to improve my game. I'm not expecting to get past the first match in the tournament as much as get better at the game.

 

[Pizzaman]

Remember, this starts at 5:00 PM and will go into the night.

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

More grand blanc players? I tried starting weeklies at the pwn shop but people weren't interested. I'm looking at hosting a P:M/Brawl event the week before this but i'm going to shuffle so I wouldn't be able to make it. Regardless great job hosting! Look into P:M?

 

[Pizzaman]

You probably didn't talk to the right people. I've played P:M but I don't want to host it.

Count me as interested. Not interested in Brawl/PM though. So when would these weeklies be? I know another person on the facebook page expressed interest in meeting up to play before the 22nd as well, not sure if he wants to do weeklies though.

 

[Pizzaman]

If everything works out, I plan on hosting monthlies at the PWN Shop

I've tried this, there is a frequent melee/PM series called sweet, and then for brawl/pm michigan ranbats happens at schoolcraft college in livonia. If you'd like to make these all smash events I'd help you host, I've talked to dan and i'm hosting a tournament the week before http://smashboards.com/threads/february-15-2014-the-pwn-series-1-brawl-p-m.347539/#post-16303275. I won't be in town during your event but if we get good turnouts we should look at making this a recurring thing.

 

[Pizzaman]

I know what the Sweet and ranbats tournaments are. I am mainly a melee player and I don't really care for hosting brawl all too much. And I also will make sure that those two tournaments above and mine don't interfere with each other.

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

Fair enough . You could at least host pm though, you'll get a lot of entrants just for pm.

 

[Pizzaman]

I might later on. But for now I'm just doing melee.

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

Fair enough. Like I was saying I could help you host though, just lmk

 

[Pizzaman]

Well, if this goes well, we might have another event in March. We might have it then.

 

[Divine Mercy]

I've seen Smash tournaments there before I think. What were those? Brawl? Who was hosting them?

 

[Pizzaman]

I don't know. This is my first time hosting

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

That'd be me sir , and it was brawl.

 

[Divine Mercy]

That'd be me sir , and it was brawl.

How many people come for those?

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

How many people come for those?

First time got almost 20. People are way more into pm than brawl.

How many do you think melee would bring?

I know a few people that like melee, but the interest lately is in P:M. There's hype surrounding melee but that's for the people that were in the competitive scene beforehand. Mostly from the documentary and evo. I think we should just stick to all smash though, because Idk about you guys, but I just like playing smash.

I think the interest will be whatever the latest thing is. I didn't get involved in this community until i saw the documentary, but even though I didn't L cancel or wavedash or do any advanced techniques, something about brawl made me not like it. I mean yeah its smash.....but still. I can see how people like PM though, the idea behind it is cool and its not so "bogged down" like brawl felt to me. But I guess im the kinda person who goes back to play old games. When everyone was playing the new call of duty's I stuck with 5, 4 and 2. After playing Twilight Princess I went back and beat Wind Waker the nth time and decided to play Ocarina. I mean you could say Zelda is Zelda, but Skyward Sword and Ocarina are leagues apart to me. I'm hoping Smash 4 is good and not just the skyward sword of smash.

Brawl sucks until you get good at it. Melee and pm feel more satisfying to play. But they're just different games. I play all of it with bias towards brawl. Find what you like and know that you aren't limited to any one game or stuck into anything. If you don't like it nobodys making you stay sir

True. I suppose it is just because all the characters i love to use in Melee or would like to use in Brawl are all bottom half of the tier list.

 

[Pizzaman]

if everything goes well, melee should be pretty big

Don't be afraid by tier lists, have your own goals for whatever game you're playing, just enjoy playing your character, who cares if you win tournaments.

Good luck to you! I'll be in columbus for shuffle but i'll make sure to be at the next one, other smash games or not.

 

[Pizzaman]

by big I mean hopefully at least 20 or so. and by my standards for this tournament that would be pretty big

 

[Divine Mercy]

So does anyone want to meet up and play there this friday?

 

[Pizzaman]

unfortunately I cannot. I might be able to on Thursday though

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

Any michigan players are welcome to add me on skype, zack.hendricks7, and i'll put you into the michigan chat. There are a fair amount of smash fests relatively often. Either way it seems like i'm going to have a minimum of 30 to 40 for The PWN Series, so I think we could make a monthly event huge!
