I'll be leaving with my friend for Brawl around 11. Also, can Game Stop check their preorder data? I lost my receipt. :ohwell:

I have mine preordered at Gamestop. I'll be getting my copy at 12:01AM. Anybody who says they are getting their copy at 12:00AM is a liar because Gamestop isn't allow to sell them until 12:01AM.:p

I'm not going to be, simply because my EBgames isn't doing a midnight release, I'll be picking it up when they open sunday morning though.

I guarantee Gamestops will be selling them at like 11:50 and stuff. Most aren't going to wait for that 0 to turn to a 1.

i preordered it today at gamestop and he said even now, i'm guaranteed a copy at the midnight release.

i'm gonna go to the tournament at gamestop. if i wasn't going to the tournament i would just show up like ten minutes to 12. i wouldn't go any earlier unless i had friends that wanted to go with me.

I'm going to Gamestop a about 9:30, and then playing in the tournament at about 10, and then playing the game until Midnight when I pick it up, go home and play more!

It's kind of weird and seems like not many people are waiting in line or going to the gamestop tournament, I signed up for the tournament on...last Thursday, and Yesterday when I checked to see about the under 18 thing, there were less than 10 people on the list!

I'm getting it at midnight (leaving around 11:30), and I'll play it for a while once I get home.

Then I'm having my only friend that can come over come over and play. 1v1, one stock until we unlock all characters (well, I'll unlock Snake and Falcon first so I can use them [SO MANLY]).

Lucky you. I signed up at mine earlier today, and I was number 25. Though that's not bad considering the guy expecting close to 50 based on Pre Order numbers. Either way I suspect a lot of people are going to show up and sign up at the tournament itself, not knowing they could/should sign up ahead of time.

Psssh, we're having a ****ing std the first night brawl comes out. Have two setups and like 7 or 8 people. I've already played like 3 hours of the American version and also like 4 hours of 2v2 on the japanese version.

Ouch, bad luck. That's why you should always use protection.

Wow, maybe people are waiting until the last minute. I kind of live near quite a few, so Maybe people are going to the more popular ones near the mall.

My game stop isnt having a midnight release, so no:(

When I signed up for the tournament, there was only one other person on the list, and I was happy. I called gamestop today and they moved my tournament to a different mall with more people.

*sigh* so much for that.
