Aahahahahaha no worries and thanks I'll send a message to mods to have this stickied. Yeah.. night.. interesting. Like I mentioned in the other thread when FoppyOmega found it.. must be because of campus limitations. Or.. there's a smaller list in Miami? I don't know how they are going to actually get all of that done... unless it finishes at like 5 am..

The guy told me to be there for like five days, the 25th through the 30th. Maybe this long duration is how they'll get everything done?
Either way, I don't plan on being there that long. Hotel costs are going to rape my bank account.

They actually had to pull a few dozen people from mid-south to compete for mid-west.

Oh wow.. didn't realize that. I figured one of the regions was going to be sapped for people. Oti that's interesting that it might go for more than the allotted 3 days the others had. Hope people get an idea when they are going to compete.. having to sit for days on end definitely will sap bank accounts.. and patience..

I bet the Comfort Suites will be swarming with Ninjas.
Btw, they posted more exact location details on the G4 upload site. Where is "Palm Avenue" on campus? I don't see it anywhere.

I drove by today, Palm is just what sw 112 av going into the campus from 8th st is called. It's being set up in the median of the split road. The warped wall is up! I'd have taken a picture but I feared for my car with all the heavy equipment and I am sick and didn't want to makr it a big trip.

What a classy place to set up a course, right in the middle of the road But are any other obstacles set up yet or just the wall?

well, its a decently large area, just technically its kind of a median with one way traffic on either side. All there was was the wall for now and a crapton of trucks and crane-looking things (like the thing that resets the log).

I'm at the Comfort Suites as well. Looking forward to meeting you, Foppy. It ain't every day I find another Earthbound fan. Easily one of the best SNES games of all time.

Hotel costs are going to rape my bank account. I was told 4 days, 25th through 29th. He quickly just said though "Don't arrive any later than early the 25th, or leave earlier than the 30th" Could be where you got 5 days from, overall its only 4 days, although with the late taping times I wouldn't be surprised if we are there till 6am into the 30th.

He told me the 29th would be the semifinals and then interviews for those who made it to Vegas would be the 30th. I called Sabrina last night about the crazy long dates and she said the days before the competition are just for profile interviews/background stories and stuff like that, and if we haven't been contacted about being there at a specific day/time, not to worry about it.
I'm flying in on the 27th and will be competing that same day. I refuse to add an extra $300+ to my already way-too-expensive trip. G4 doesn't seem to take into account that not everybody has the time or money to p**s away on all their little games.

It's rare to find another person who actually knows Earthbound. The G4 people scared me into booking the hotel from the 25th - 30th so I'll be there all week. If you see a black tank top and red headband at the competition, that's me. Hope to see you!

I know that we will see some kind of ring obstacle, either Circle Slider or some version of the Swing Circle...

Are we sure it's not the Log Grip again?
