Who cares about Melee.

I wish I could dance like that.

 

[CAOTIC]

You will after this tournament! I schwear on it!

*watches video*

... pooor Falcy...

 

[S.D]

That was so good!

What did you use to make that video? ie. Video recording software and editing software.

Some of the footage was taken with a capture device from the most recent tournament, the rest was from a DVD recorder. Edited in Adobe Premier Pro and also partially imovie.

Who cares about Melee.

I wish I could dance like that.

Me too.

 

[Sirias]

You wish you could dance like that? That's not even his best!
It's just silly, but so neat.
HAHAHA ending of dance.
Ahhh... Fun. <3

I'd like to head on through.
How much are tickets?
I would check BUT this laptop is made of uncontrollable amount of fail. :C

From Brisbane around $160RT with Jetstar.

How about this if someone can beat Master 3 on Monkey Ball in 20 tries while I'm watching them, I'll do the stupid dance, alone, by myself. RAH.

Edit: Ugh. Seriously, I will kill myself if someone actually does.

Nova, you are aware that i'm coming right?

 

[Shaya]

Tiger flights from the Gold Coast (tiger doesnt fly brisbane to sydney) are as cheap as return $100 at the moment.

 

[Nova]

Nova, you are aware that i'm coming right?

No. You're banned. Out. Gone.

And even if you're not, it's MASTER 3. MASTER 3 does not get defeated in 20 tries, even by the masters of the game.

I will however note I made it to Master 5 once without losing a continue. You see, I'm that pro at playing with Monkey Balls. Take that world.

Tiger are stupid - seriously why do they not fly Brisbane to Sydney yet. -_- Yet they fly to Adelaide from Brisbane. Because Adelaide is totally worth visiting. Clowns.

 

[smopup]

Is this a sydney major tournament going to be called Thriller?

I lol'd.

Hope I can make it to this! If I can, I'd consider learning the dance. 'Sif anyone could not like Thriller.

 

[Silfa]

Dude, you should totally go Gerard!

 

[Shaya]

Im finalising the venue fee with the bowling alley.

From what I can tell atm, the venue fee will technically be large (Squat pricing?), but both days will include a meal.

 

[tedeth]

Sounds epic.

Massive ****ing group smash lunch.

 

[Scabe]

Is this going to be at the same venue that we're normally at?

 

[Shaya]

Yes, same venue.

Smash lunch may not be possible.
Ive had a request from the management that because of the large numbers, people order and get their food in about groups of 10.

And as of the large numbers (this is including potentially 20-40 people from Street Fighter), eating will probably be happening in the function rooms.

 

[druckey]

We should just over power them and raid the kitchen.

 

[CAOTIC]

Airline information:

[Sirias]

No but rly excl. BF? I don't get.

Still, $160 is pretty cheeeaaappp...!
Plus all the winnings from coming 1st at everything would mean no money used at all! C:
Kid.
Ding.

Or could go on the GC ones even...
Oh, goodness gracious goodie gumdrops, the choices the choices~

Also. Lol. Nova.
... So much random.

 

[Toby.]

Fark Edited Out

 

[CAOTIC]

Excluding booking fee, Kas (which is usually an extra $10-$20). Bring your boyfriend Darkwing Sykefark with you. I would really wub that.

Team with me and you'll get 1st in everything, plus you promised me a Mewtwo v Bowser grand final!

 

[TakFR]

I will book once someone is considerate enough to offer housing =)

 

[CAOTIC]

Ask Stu to house you imo. Good location, not stuck in the sticks like a lot of NSW people.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

mmm spose I'll go.. idk want to team with kas or dave <3 OR JAZ!!!

 

[Scrubs]

Ill come.....have to fly out sunday evening though....put melee on saturday please!

Also

Due to my strong personal convictions I wish to stress that my attendance at this tournament in no way endorses a belief in the occult.

(watch thriller vid)

Can I make cookies? <3 <3

Ahm excited. <3

 

[Shaya]

(watch thriller vid)

Love it :D.

And, Singles pools for both games will be on Saturday; so will melee doubles. Ill probably have melee singles first thing then to cater for you a bit if nothing else throws in spanners.
Luckily you are about 5 minutes from the airport at this venue.

 

[Nova]

Yes that venue rules due to its location.

I also demand people that are old enough go to the Casino. I love Sydney's. Adelaide's so lame and old, it's on top of a TRAIN STATION for fluffs sake. But I always lose in all the other Casino's.

I'll write a song to have 7 removed from the deck. I hate 7.

 

[tedeth]

I hate 2. The amount of times that blackjack dealer gave me 12 in Adelaide was appauling.

 

[luke_atyeo]

epic smash lunch? I'll have to dacit everywhere with my food.
shaya you know this is gonna be big right? do you really think the bowling ally has enough room to accomodate? like everything else is just right venue-wise, just the size.

 

[Sirias]

... Lol, see what I mean about random?
I'll bring my darling with me, Zaccy-poo.
UUUUUGUGGGHHH!!!
I just shuddered when I typed that (and said it out-loud).
45iua;4g5

Anyway.

Let's have a 3-way team.
YYYEEAEAHHZZZ!!! <3

Uh something something zzz...
What days again? 10th, 11th... Neat, doesn't clash with anything. Be like 9th - 12th. 4 days. C:
Who can, and wants to, house me (and Zac, has to be both of us <3).

 

[Shaya]

We are getting two rooms Luke.

 

[Nova]

I've been hanging around you people two (edit: too, cbf correcting it, I'll just write a sentence about how it was wrong) much.

I immediately read Shaya's post as something sexual.

 

[CAOTIC]

Sydney's going to have a housing crisis, just like irl, haha. And I'll join people for Star City, I'm assuming Sunday night would be good for that.

 

[Vyse]

If the date of the tournament is staying put, I'm not sure I can make it or not because of LanSmash.

 

[Nova]

Yes I don't want to do it on the Saturday because then I'll have to deal with heaps of people (ugh, Sydney, Saturday night, gtfo) and I suck socially.

And. I'll be too depressed to win anything if we do it on Saturday. Given the pools (neither of which I'll probably make it through anyway) are Sat and serious business on Sunday.

EDIT.... oh screw this *Hits go Advanced*

EDIT

If the date of the tournament is staying put, I'm not sure I can make it or not because of LanSmash.

If the date changes now I'll rage because I've already booked my flights.

Just.... I dunno, leave? You should come. Do you have some contract where they will kill you if you don't run a tourney for Melee/Brawl that apparently nobody is going to go to?

 

[luke_atyeo]

lol nova, I did too.

that'll be perfect then shaya.

 

[S.D]

haha you're so cute Dave, thinking it won't be an all NSW grand final. I mean please, you guys aren't that good <3

Ill come.....have to fly out sunday evening though....put melee on saturday please!

Ben @ Thriller is win. Bring the might of QLD with you kgo.

Sydney's going to have a housing crisis, just like irl, haha. And I'll join people for Star City, I'm assuming Sunday night would be good for that.

There should be a reasonable number of people in the area, i guess it's just a matter of putting the call out now and seeing who will be available to host. This is gunna be an awkward one for me too, seeing as I'm not keen on doing the 4-5 hour round trip 2 days running, so I'll be looking for somewhere to crash too.

Shaya are there any cheap accomodation options nearby? Hostel or something in case we can't get enough hosts?

 

[CAOTIC]

Cool people/Zombies should just crash at the Meriton i'll book for the Friday night. More on this later. <3

I agree Vyse should totally not do a no-show and go to Thriller. It shouldn't even be a choice!

 

[luke_atyeo]

vyse coming would be epic

 

[Nova]

Shaya are there any cheap accomodation options nearby? Hostel or something in case we can't get enough hosts?

I'm not Shaya. But yeah. There is a formule 1 (sp?) near the Sydney Airport. They would have pretty cheap rates (I think, my definition of cheap is like different) for multiple people to stay. And since it's near the airport, it's near the venue. Win.

 

[Shaya]

Theres the Formule 1 hotel thats just next to the airport (and the AWESOME 24hr MCDONALDS AND KRISPY KREME RIGHT NEXT TO IT, and about 20 minutes walk from the venue)

that has queen bed for 99 a night.
queen bed + 1 single for 109
and 1 queen + 2 singles for $119

Im not entirely sure, but I think CAO has stayed there before, as has Hotdogs/Jbirds I think?
Not sure of they rate it nor how much space there is (for people to just crash there).
But its pretty cheap and pretty close.

Sydney YHA of course isnt too far away and $40 a night in a dorm I think.
