For the record I'm over 18. Come to think of it, I'll be 19 come time for the con.

As for the knife. I can make a sheath to fit it. Sewing machine + Black webbing material, bit of one of those thin plastic cutting boards to fit around the knife should work.

As for the gun, it's a cheapo one, so I can remove the spring, or the trigger mechanism, if there's a problem. Meh, I can figure it out when I get to security.

some of my friends last year did some snake cosplays, and one of them had an airsoft gun that was broken before the con so it couldn't shoot, and he also took everything out that would make so that it could shoot, but they still didn't let him have it without it being peacebonded to a holster.

[In defense of no item rules, however, our turnout last year for "pro" format was overwhelming to say the least. We had an Evo level turnout, most of which contained competitive players to my understanding. If we were to turn brawl into a fun tournament, you have to keep in mind we'll have signups that will dwarf last year's. I'm still on the fence.]

I agree with impulse in the fact that an entire game can be turned around (in the bad stupid way) by items.

So can a wallcombo in Tekken, but as a fact us fighting game players have to deal with it.

I'm sorry but that's an apples to oranges comparison.  Wall carry is controlled by the player, the player can manipulate positioning on the map so that their launchers will get wall combos.  A wall combo doesn't magically appear in the game like an item, it's ALWAYS there.  I don't see how comparing chance of the draw (item appearance) is comparable to me carrying you to the wall.  So you can drop that mizuki wins pic because he failed.

Pyron is right, however, in this isn't a major tournament.  I just figured last year that I'd make e-gaming as organized as the rest of the con and make it stand out in its own right.  Unlike most fighting games, Smash is indeed sitting on the wall between fighting and party games.  I might consider doing a brawl tourney (1v1v1v1) and a 1v1 item tourney instead of the professional this year.  In defense of no item rules, however, our turnout last year for "pro" format was overwhelming to say the least.  We had an Evo level turnout, most of which contained competitive players to my understanding.  If we were to turn brawl into a fun tournament, you have to keep in mind we'll have signups that will dwarf last year's.

i agree, i was there last year and i do know alot of the people who signed up and they signed up to play in a "pro" tournament rule setting, and no one there complained that there should be items on.

Oh well, you people are too headstrong to see anyone elses opinion without hammering it down. I'm sure once the tourny actually gets here and the real players show up, other than the 5 people on this board things might change.

Are you really that stupid? Do you really think that most people at fanime are hardcore competitive smash players? Do you really think the majority of smash players at fanime play no items at home and ban stages that might be unfair?

You are really really really stupid if you honestly believe that. The con needs to think of the majority. And if you want to get your panties in a bunch because you(the minority) want the tourney to be ran a specific way, throw your own tourney in your room and invite people to go. Frankly, I see what your opinion is, but YOU'RE not seeing the opinion of anyone else. All you care about is "LOLOL I PLAY SMASH COMPETITIVELY, SO EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY BY MY RULES!"

In this case, it's a matter of opinion, and purely opinion what you prefer to play. The majority will win. Realistically, what you SHOULD be suggesting is that when the tourney happens, those that sign up VOTE for whether it be items or not, and the majority will win. However, that would be having to take it up with whoever is running the tourney, and hoping they'll agree.

ok alot of people might not use items off when they are playing at home but i'm sure that they understand that at a tournament the rules are different.

so what you should do is keep the tournament with items off and then the casual play have them on for any one who wants them on.
