Made a ton of updates to the thread. Will clean it up later. If you want money matches, you should post that info here!
And you cats from the South, you should all money match Justin Wong. When is the next time most of you are going to be able to do so? Especially in a place where you have Home Court Advantage?
I don’t know, isn’t he, like, pretty good at these games? What are my odds. Give me a number breakdown here.
You have a 1 in X chance in beating him where X is inversely proportional to the number of beers he drinks.

I’ll make an effort to show up
It’d be great to have you Jan 
If you need anything, let me know and we can make arrangements for you. Also, have you really switched to Seth?
I haven’t switched just have side characters.
Can you get my ride housing? It should be 4-5 people?
Yeah I can arrange housing for all you guys. We have plenty of people who can house.
I’m pretty sure Louisiana Smash will be attending this. I already said on smashboards that I’d try my hand at some high level SSFIV and MvC and I fully intend on getting my ass handed to me completely.
Thanks! I’ll give you the details on who is coming with me as soon as all of that is finalized.
So who are the other Louisiana people coming to this? I’m coming from the Bossier City/Shreveport area and I think the other LA folk are coming from Monroe? Is that right?
Sounds good. After you let me know, I’ll see which house has room for you guys.
Other Louisiana people are coming from Shreveport (SF/MvC3 players), maybe Monroe (SF players), and I think the New Orleans area (SF players). As for those that play other games, not sure.
I saw a guy I have on facebook from Shreveport was going to this, so I know that he is at least going. But that’s cool. I thought for a minute there my group’d be the only Louisiana folk. Then I realized this isn’t just smash bro’s we’re talking about here. Louisiana doesn’t like traveling Oos for tournaments anymore. 
Haha nah, we have a ton of people coming from every state that touches Arkansas (well Missouri’s lacking, but we’re hoping to pull some of those cats in). ~10 from Oklahoma, 10+ from Texas, ~10 from Louisiana, ~10 from Mississippi, ~10 from Tennessee, and ??? from Missouri.
But yeah, people in our region need to learn how to start traveling. Can’t not travel and wonder why we don’t have big tournaments around here like Season’s Beatings, Final Round, CEO, etc.
For those not in the ARFGN Facebook group:
We got shirts for $10 each. It’ll look very similar to this (maybe with some adjusted white colors)

Other shirts have been reserved for Thang, Josh R., Matthew M., Ian T., Justin C., Cody G., Afro, Inebro, Alex S., Ghost, Tyler, Dennis and Seel.
I’ll gladly take one of those size L shirts, and wear it the day of the tournament.
Size?

Sizes: 6 S, 6 M, 6 L, 2 XL
Order before we run out!
I am confirmed to come to this event!! See everyone there. Any MM’s???
You’re gonna let me dual mod that gold TE, right? >.>
I’m dumb enough to take that challenge. Let’s say 10$, Marvel, first to three?
Yo Triggerhappy. If you want to money match me, I’ll be down as well haha. You’re money matching Panda and Justin Wong and I’m somewhere in between those two in skill lol.
Maybe. Lemme see exactly where my finances are the day of. On a semi-related question, on the after-party, I know you will be providing drink, but would bringing additional drink be allowed/encouraged?
