Reserved for results

 

[Sizzle]

I'm going for the pizza party.

 

[fallennova]

Ill think about going

 

[Jun.]

I think it really depends on the kind of Pizza

 

[theunabletable]

Melee only?

 

[Jun.]

Yes Melee only.

 

[HomeRunTom]

poop
10poops

 

[ComboFest]

i miiiighttt go.

 

[Jun.]

San Diego

Come for the smash

Stay for the Ranch

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

I'm totally goin

And Socal is comin in droves

 

[Ziodyne]

Yo, can I get a ride to this?

 

[ComboFest]

i'll think about it. might be too far for my taste. a whole hour.

 

[Melty Venus]

I'm definitely going. :D

Friday friendlies only? If I bring a Gamecube, do I still need to pay 5 dollars or is the fee waiver only for the TV? Also, do I need to fill out the General Attendee Form since this event doesn't have pre-reg?

 

[Wretched]

See you guys there.

Expect the Mario~

 

[Rickety]

I'm so excited to see everyone again! Hooray! <3

 

[Ziodyne]

i'll think about it. might be too far for my taste. a whole hour.

could help pay for gas
could help carry setups
could help massage your large, broad shoulders
...
except maybe not the massage

 

[shaseim4st3r]

friday we could just have our own smashfest.

 

[Jun.]

friday we could just have our own smashfest.

Friday there is DVC at the loft and I'm spinning so if you guys ever wanted to see me DJ, now is the time lol.

 

[shaseim4st3r]

mm i can actually drink there now. shooootttt

 

[Ziodyne]

so apparently, getting a ride is not a problem
i could use housing for 6-7 people though

i think most of them would be fine with splitting up housing if that's easier

 

[-QuesoKirby-]

This will be my first tournament since last year's WGF, haha. I'm bringing the mustard Mario so hit me and my friends up for some good games. See everyone there.

 

[Juggleguy]

Hoping this breaks 100 entrants again like it did the last couple times! It'd be ridiculous how fast of a start the Melee community would be off to in 2013. Good luck to everyone at UCSD running this.

 

[-QuesoKirby-]

Seeing the history we've had with this place, I wouldn't be surprised we break 100 entrants easy. Who's showing up for the Smashfest on Friday? I'm bringing four people and a Wii with Smash 64/Melee/Brawl/Project M, so if someone can bring a TV we'll be all set.

EDIT: One of my friends says he's bringing his group of friends. Expect a party of ~10.

 

[ComboFest]

IDK if this is even going to get 70 entrants.

 

[Jun.]

You underestimate SD

 

[-QuesoKirby-]

I'm hoping the free doubles and low singles fee bring the UCSD and local crowds in big numbers. I don't get to attend many tournaments with college playing a huge role in how I live and travel, so I'll be doing my part to bring some friends and competition this time around. SoCal's still running strong after all these years, and the faithful will show.

 

[OkamiBW]

Does singles pools turn into bracket at some point? X_X That is, where on the schedule is it?

That being said, I plan on going and bringing 1 TV and 1 Stabbedbyanipple most likely.

 

[fallennova]

Lol okami

 

[The Business]

Is this being streamed?

 

[The calm tyrant...]

Awwww how come no brawl as well this year if you don't mind me asking, Jun? :O

 

[-QuesoKirby-]

I'm bringing a set-up with both Melee and Brawl on Friday, so if anyone wants in just let me A.K.A. the dude that looks like Freddie Mercury know.

 

[Jun.]

It's more so that we had brawl last year and the community brought two setups.

They had to convert melee wiis to brawl so that they could have a tournament.

 

[ComboFest]

brawl apparently doesn't deliver.

 

[vato_break]

i thought they had brawl this year?

[vato_break]

[Wretched]

Had to find a kid who looked like Johnny

 

[Lovage]

add cs: global offensive

 

[Jun.]

Love you good at it man? You always bring that up lol
