dude i have no problem with that.
i slept in my car once in st louis, as long as i have enough space to stretch out on the floor, i’m gravy
and rex from stl has like three HUGE cats who are fond of puking on his floor. i’ve stayed as his pad many a time.
as far as dubuque guys, well hell man, back when marvel was the big thing, we’d crash at total stranger’s places all the time with random people we never met.
I’m calling it out now by the way:
Gear and BB are mine, for complete and total FRAY!
Come prove me wrong!
If people from Minnesota are going, I’m down to go as well.
Quick update for everyone:
There was a potential hiccup and the chance for venue fees to come into play, I want all the potential attendees to know that I went ahead and put my foot down on it.
I’ve been waiting for a scene in central Iowa to materialize since I started playing 6 years ago, and it’s taken this long for a chance to hold a tourney that could actually get people to come to Des Moines, so I want it to be a success.
So I repeat, there WILL NOT be a venue fee. There could have been some caving and waning and we could have said fine, 5 or 10 bucks isn’t a big deal. But when people are willing to give their time and gas to drive to Des Moines to come game with us. That’s a big deal, and i’ll make a few people pissy with me to make life better for the players. That’s what these tournies are about, the guys who get in the car, drive hours, just to come play games and chill.
I am putting this promise on my name, there’s no venue fees, and if that issue gets pushed again, i’ll make sure the players, the people who count, know way in advance so they don’t get screwed over.
What I do need as a favor from you guys is to really be diligent about pre-reg. We don’t need entry fees early, just who you are, what you are playing.
Hit that email, and do me and Grog a favor and post up in this thread what games you will be entering. The headcount will make it easier for the two of us to make this thing fun and a success for you guys to come out to Des Moines.
This tourney means a lot to the few serious 2d players there are in Des Moines, and that’s why we are striving to save you guys every dollar possible so you can save the money for where it counts, backing up your skills in the Fighting Game scene.
Thanks again guys, were looking forward to showing you all a good time here in Des Moines.

Hio,
You guys care if i run SSBM?!
i assume you guys need tvs and consoles
i can also provide a ps3 with BB, sf4, and HDR (still need to unlock seth in sf4 lol)
wii with melee and brawl
maybe a tv???
ill tell all my friends to prereg sometime this week hopefully
Once we have a better idea of setups and total space we can look into adding my side tournies, but i dont think it would be a huge problem. Keep in mind were looking at least 6 tournies right now, and thats a lot to get done in one day.
All of that equipment would be great if you can bring it! And yeah you’re welcome to run it on the side as long as it doesn’t interfere with the main games :tup:
Omaha’s gonna poop all over me in Melee. ;_;
Those are for sure things I will be bringing and remember to put me down for side tourneys if you feel like it otherwise that’s fine with me.
Are you bringing the TV also? I’m keeping track of how much of everything we’re having :tup:
Also I can add TVC to the first post, but everyone needs to keep in mind this is a lot of side tourneys so you will be competing with each other for setups and you might want to organize how you’re all doing these.
Also it’s a good idea for everyone to post up rules for your tourneys, prices, what console etc instead of just saying “it’s happening”, thanks!
Also updated email address for prereg, the original was not working again so try ake@trucloudy.com, thanks everyone!
I want everyone to keep in mind that if i get enough interest I will be bumping GG and BB to main game prices. They’re side tournies only because as of right now, it’s likely they won’t have as much entry as the main games, however I am making a point to run them both and run them both in good time. Consider it the seniority Iowa player using a bit of non-existent clout.
In other words, my equipment goes to gear first, bb second, and any other projects third.
For Brawl rules, just copy and paste from Joker’s thread on the first page on Smashboards.
ill post rules for melee in a bit, gotta ask folk about stuff
I’ll try to make it guys but travel is realy tough for me right now.
Tempted to come to this, but it all depends on how my homework situation looks around tourney time.
Rex I’d love to see you here man, but yeah I completely understand how rough traveling is right now, I’m still in the works of getting a road trip capable car.
Also I’m adding another way to get your name into the drawing for the $50x2. If you bring at least console+game that are contributed to the main event you will not need to sign up for two tourneys (though it’s encouraged), only one. If you bring 2 consoles+games and a TV and you will have your name entered again doubling your chances of winning it.
Mystery tourny will be multi game multi system it will be ran whenever I feel like it that is all.
Sheeeeeeeit, I may have enough time to ask off work, get some fundage together, and make it to this. :tup:
For sure going to this. If that melee tourney is happening I’ll get back into that and alert cherry smash.
