Supah, SMAAAAAAAASH Brothuuuuurs!

Yeah... that's what we're doing!
=D

I'm not sure whether or not to enter the tournament...I mean I won't be accustomed to the controls...

Why not? There's no entry fee or anything, so at the very least it'd be fun.

so?
=_=
No one ELSE will, either.

As Hiko said, that's kind of the point. They want the playing field to be as level as possible. In any case, have you seen the grand prize? That definately makes it worth a shot.

I'm really doing it because I don't want Zero going to California if I don't get a shot.
>_>;;

Yeah, looks cool, but only 11 people in the COUNTRY can even get a PRIZE.
8 of which are crappy trophies.
=_=

Didn't the flyer say that there were prizes for each round? That would mean that those who could pass Round one would get stuff, and there are a ton of stores participating, so that'd be more than 11, if I have my facts straight.

O_o
But...
On the rules...
O_o
SWEET

...
Are the controls that hard? It seems like the same...
...
Ah~ Wii Controller.
Hmmm... How amusing. I might participate if I have time. YAY! LET'S HAVE FUN EVERYBODY! : D

I, DeDeDe, shall KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN!

Tip to Lego:
DeDeDe's B+Up move gets you high, but doesn't get you that far sideways. If you've used up all of your little "puff jumps", and you're still too far from the edge, use B+Side, towards the platform you're trying to reach. It moves you a little to the side if you hold it, and you stay in the same vertical position while you summon and throw a Waddle Dee/Waddle Doo/Gordo. Keep doing that, and THEN use B+Up. Hope it helps!

I forgot, I can't go.
:'D

u can't go to the tournament?

anyway, im looking forward to using metaknight, king dedede, and pit.

*Cracks knuckles*

I can't freakin' WAIT. I'm also looking forward to Metaknight and Pit, but also Sonic.

umm, guys...

THE TOURNAMENT IS AT MIDNIGHT.

why didn't you tell me this bit of info? I don't think I care THAT much...

I preordered it at a Gamespot in the mall. They can't open at Midnight.

They're opening early on the 9th, and still having a tournament. I don't know If it still counts, though.

Not sure if I'm entering, since I'm not very good at the game, and I planned on Spending the 9th trying to beat subspace emissary and unlocking all the characters.

Well, remember, NO ONE will be good at the game. Everyone (but the cheaters) will be new to the controls, so the playing field will be level. And Dark: we kinda thought that, should you be joining, you WOULD KNOW WHAT TIME IT'S AT.

I are definately gonna enter, I got to play for awhile now, and the wii controls aren't HORRIBLE, but I'm gonna Ike all over ya-all XD

It really depends on the store people. Check with your local Gamestop. Mine is holding it on the 8th at 9PM for example. In fact...

To enter Round 1 of the Tournament, visit a participating GameStop location on March 8, 2008. To obtain the address of the participating locations nearest to you, visit www.gamestop.com/smash.  All Contestants must check-in with the onsite GTD at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of play. Contestants who are not checked-in at least thirty (30) minutes prior to play may be eliminated from the Contest in the GTD's sole discretion. On the day of Round 1, complete an official participation form, or if you are a minor (defined as under 19 years of age in Alabama and Nebraska, under 21 in Mississippi and under 18 years of age in all other states and the District of Columbia), a parent or legal guardian will be required to complete and sign the official form. After the form is signed, give the official form to the GameStop tournament representative who will call your name when it is your time to compete in Round 1. When your name is called, you will be given one (1) opportunity to compete against another Contestant at that location. Each Round 1 Contestant will be paired with another Round 1 Contestant in a one (1) minute match until one (1) Contestant is eliminated. The winner of each Round 1 match will then compete against another winner until only one (1) Round 1 Contestant has survived the elimination matches.  The surviving Round 1 winner at each participating GameStop location will be declared the District Winner and will have the opportunity to compete in Round 2 of the Tournament.

And fear the wrath of Pit and Olimar.

Good ol' Mario for me. I can't wait to unveil his cape attack on some Samus user. XD
