for those interested there is gonna be a huge tournament for the Super Smash Brothers 64. Come see how good you guys are. I kno you guys think your good. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. POST THIS INFORMATION ON OTHER FORUMS.

COME AND HAVE SOME FUN

This is going to be hosted by MLG (Major League Gaming). Here are the details

Date:

MLG Philly!!! July 28-30th Melee & SSB64!

Info:

Ok kids... these dates are NOT quite yet set in stone but they're almost there, like set into clay... anyways... the point is, even though it's only a few weeks after FC3, this event is going to be too fun and a shame to miss. Not only will there be all the normal MLG goodness, but the first two days (thurs 7/28, fri 7/29) we'll be having traditional fighters, probably Halo 1 and ALMOST for sure Super Smash Bros. for the N64.

That's right, old school smash on thursday and/or friday and then Melee on Saturday. We're still working on the details so I'd really like to hear from the EC community on this one. How much SSB64 do you want? Two days or just one (probably Friday)? Singles and Teams? I've got a tenative ruleset that Isai and I have discussed, but it's subject to change based on the communities desires. So read up, discuss and let me know what you want!
