There's some Wario repping to be done in P:M!

 

[WonderOlimar]

Wow, that is a long wait.

 

[Rob Taylor]

Maybe try doing one stock brawl? I know there's been mixed reception about it but if it's not an MLG event it might be worth the experiment.

 

[Russy]

Had a blast at Shuffle V, definitely coming to this now that I'm better than I was then

 

[Esports Initiative]

[Reiign]

Would this be a good tourney to go to as my first one?

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

Depends on who is coming like M2K maybe not but I will go to at least one brawl tourney before I enter Brawl for this tourney

 

[Joseph Joestar]

All I need now is a training montage, then I'll be ready.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Would this be a good tourney to go to as my first one?

if you like to have fun and meet people, historically the past 2 shuffles have had insane attendance numbers and you will get the chance to meet a lot of players
if you want to go to a tournament ~just to win~, prolly not.

but i recommend shuffle. last one was really fun. you get a chance to play a lot of friendlies and get good practice in

or if you are me you will face Stewyian every shuffle forever.

 

[PiBs]

Would this be a good tourney to go to as my first one?

I would definitely go to some small local tournaments first to get in touch with your local scene. But if this is your only opportunity I would definitely do it.

 

[KingChaos]

Count me in!

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

I will 100% enter PM but Maybe Brawl

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

Carls493 can I team with you if I come =Wario+Sonic

 

[Carls493]

Sorry. If I do show up, SoulPech is the one I team up with.

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

Can someone team with me a Sonic player and maybe Brawl Doubles

 

[notMitch]

Hell yeah. Shuffle V was my first tournament and I loved it.

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

If I am doing Melee Doubles I need a teammate Please

 

[mars16]

[Reiign]
