A few tips for tournaments attendees:

When bullys take your lunch money do not resist! it will only result in a more severe beating.

Not wearing underwear to avoid wedgies might seem like a good idea at 1st but once discovered will, again, only result in a more severe beating.

Too avoid traffic problems have your moms wish you luck BEFORE she drops you off.

The larget concentration of competitive Melee players are in California and New Jersey. That's why they're in those two locations. Nintendo knows what they're doing. Do you think casual players are going to go to this tournament?

And yes, there are still advanced techniques. C'mon people, that was the Dojo update on Monday with Ukemi (Teching), Perfect Shield, Stale-Move Negation, Small Jump (Short Hop), and Pivot Grab. And even "Pivot Grab" is a nod to competitive players since the term "Pivot" was coined by competitive players.

Sakurai even stress more neutral and less random stages in Brawl and admitted it in the interview. That's why stages were banned. Look at Fox's Reflector (Shine). What people used it for in Melee (Shining by press down+B, Jump-Cancel) Sakurai has allows you to just easily tap Down+B for a Shine. Sakurai is catering to casual players and tournament players alike.

Availability of GCN controllers/the opportunity to bring your own is important to me.

If not I may not go. :O

Why can't companies like Capcom and Namco do stuff like this for REAL fighting games. Evo and SBO are nice and all, but I wouldn't mind having some tournaments run by the companies themselves.

Fuck you, Nintendo. Your headquarters are in Redmond and you can't have a tournament in Seattle?

The correct building name for the March 1 tourney at Worcester Polytechnic Institute should be "Alden Hall". I attend WPI.

So do I just walk in at 3pm to register? March 1 is the first day of spring break and the campus will be very empty, save for the gamers.
