...I disagree with both of you.

You have to cycle in other games to keep people interested. Otherwise people get bored.

Yeah, well, new games can be cycled in while keeping the old popular ones. I don't think there are any good smashers out there who would disagree with another Melee tourney this year. If we're still having nationals for them, why not include them at Boston? :/

Hey, is this schedule official? If so, where did you find it? I can't find anything related to video gaming in the programming schedule besides where the gaming will be located.

I agree with that sentament and I have both Brawl and Melee myself. Having said that, I think enough time has passed where it's safe to go with just Melee. The (Gamecube) controls are exactly the same in both games and the roster differences are minor. Why not make room for another game such as Street FighterXTekken or Mortal Kombat?

Yea lets not host tournaments for games that got 60+ entrants with a $5 entry fee. Also, there are always massive wait times for smash at AB because its so popular. Lets get rid of smash.. sounds great. :lol:

Bubbaking, sixpod is Jason from NGA, he is running the gameroom, so yes that lineup is official.

Also, by huge request the Pop'n Music tourmanet has been changed, I am holding it at noon on Sunday instead, alongside a beatmania IIDX tournament at the same time. Players are welcome to enter both.

+1 for having a Melee tournament. The Melee community is still large and strong after all these years even when Brawl has been out for so long. Maybe if we get our Melee buds to post here they might change their mind.

Also, a Tetris Axis tournament would be nice to add :mrgreen:

Loving the addition of NBA Jam, although I have yet to play the newest one. I would also love to see Mortal Kombat have some sort of event. I'm decent at most fighting games, but Mortal Kombat is the only one I can say I'm actually good at. Spammers shall be mercilessly "Caged".

But Mortal Kombat's not a "real" fighting game. :P
