GameStop opens inaugural tournament center

I disagree. depending on who's there.

you won't even be considered if you can't beat dragonforce or jordan on expert, 5*ing each.

have you SEEN some of the top players? and I used to consider myself good. (considering I was in the top .0001% of the scoreboards.)

I can do Jordan in Expert with 5 stars... only 4 in the Dragonforce song... I need to practice.

@ sifer

For what reason???

Because every time i go there He becomes an asshole. he just hates me lol its a mutual thing tho

That's a shame, but fortunately not all the managers that work Gamestop are assholes.

these days that's all you CAN get there

lmao priceless and so true. lol

Yeah, I was wanting to open something like this in my area, but once I got down to the details and figured how much money I'd need to drop to Do It Right(tm), I knew I couldn't.

I just hope that existing game centers are able to crush GS. GS has a lot more money it can sink in running startups out of business just to "succeed".

I doubt GS can Do It Right, but they also could throw enough $$ into it that they can bulldoze past tight spots that private owners typically can't.

sigh

LMAO so funny especially the 1st and 3rd lOL

@ gonk

Yeah I've seen them like every other time you've posted a reply to a Gamestop article.

I dunno, I thought the second one was particulary hilarious.

It's Andy Sandberg from SNL, and I don't know.

My attempt at lulz didn't work :(

Nobody plays 480i games anymore. Lag is irrelevant nowadays

Ok, so nobody plays SD games, but you are talking about playing SMASH? Are you serious? Have you ever heard of EVOLUTION? Its one of the biggest fighting game tourneys in the world, and they sure as hell play them. Smash included.

Yes, and Smash supports 480p on the GameCube and on the Wii. Where have you been? And we're talking about HDTVs. HDTVs lag most when deinterlacing 480i games. Evo uses SDTVs for 480i games and if the game supports 480p or higher, sometimes uses 480p/720p on HDTVs. They don't do 480i on HDTVs.

so you can fight fox or mr falcon on battlefield over and over? ugh

there's nothing wrong in liking the game on a casual level but melee is one of the technical fighting games ever made.

it's frame based not attack/blocking window based like other fighters which allows things like frame counting and powershielding.

you can play smash how you want but imposing tournament should play with random items on stages with randomly timed hazards in tournament where money is on the line is ignorant.

smash melee was made to be easy to pick up but difficult to master. if not why is fastfalling, l-cancelling, shorthopping, dashdancing, pivoting, dash cancelling, csticking aerials, chaingrabbing, powershielding and others implemented into brawl if they only cater to technical players? and now there are more things like tripping and dash braking based on the E4All demo played by the public? yeah wavedashing is gone but that's because they air dodge was changed. wavelanding is still in.

as i said, play how you want but don't think tourneys are ruining game when the rules are set to pit one player's skill against another FAIRLY by removing items and banning stages because of random level hazards. truth is, if a $5000 reward is depedent on one last stock, you'd be pissed too if a starman randomly apeared next to your opponent.

i like items, it makes the game more fun and keeps the playing field more level, since my roommate is way better at smash than me
