i'm not in charge of arranging the date... you know me I just work with the staff on running the tournament properly... they picked the date, they decided on wanting to throw a bonus... more attendance will probably be oriented on brawl than melee... and supposedly m2k would be going to this... and justin wong for SF 4

so don't ****ing blame me, blame them for a date that they want to hold multiple tournaments in a labor day weekend...

I'll be coming to this, To5 is melee right? Theres no reason for me to go to that, i'll be at this for SF4 and Brawl.

EDIT:
Frames this tourney is more for 2d fighters (featuring Brawl), To5 isnt going to affect this at all.

Weird how this tournament was posted a month ago and wasn't revived until recently.

Oh, and I'm going, of course.

TO5 will be a lot better than this if your playing melee obviously. So the choice for which tournament to go to is obvious.
This is more of a fighting game tournament than anything

well if they get the 1k pot bonus then it would be way better to go here...even if hungry wins to5 he might not get that plus gas and entry fees...not to mention the lack of competition here...he would just steamroll and win

as it stands with the current situation with the final decision on the MK ban, if the decision has not been reached by the time this tournament happens. then mk will be allowed

if the decision has been made within 1-2 weeks prior to the tournament, then i shall make alternatives to see how to accommodate the situation

ok... from what i'm told now... Brawl will be the $1000 bonus, not split with melee anymore. unless i'm wrong

originally i was suppose to be in charge of running this tournament, it's now gonna be extremely iffy if i'll be able to make it anymore with the sudden change of me moving to orlando...

more like... "10-20 minutes away to co18". but i'll swap it out when i finally move up.

or "Orlando, FL (Minutes away from all the scrubs or not living around me)"

i guess if all else, can u help take over if i can't come anymore?

or have me die trying to bring CFL to this just cuz there's a $1000 bonus!!!
