Super Smash Bros. Brawl was one of NSFCD's strongest boards at its inception; it is one of two Nintendo boards that persevered through board reduction and even now remains a child board. Unfortunately, the board's age is beginning to show and its activity is decreasing. However, to the supporters of the NSFCD and the Smash Board, we present the NSFCD Super Smash Bros.

Any time works for me on any of the days as of this moment in time. If a change comes up, I'll be sure to let you know.

EDIT: Crap, forgot: Tuesday through Thursday I have choir practice, so those days I won't be available from noon to around 4 PM Pacific.

MOAR EDIT: Choir practices are over, so no problems now.

[Cornwad]

I'm in, I'll work on getting a prime connection with my Wii until then. I hate Nintendo WFC so much.

I should also point out that my game crashes whenever I face someone playing as Ike and sometimes Kirby

[Dawei]

Wait, so I only need to win this tournament to get the giftcard? I don't need to be the whole Olympic champion, do I? If that's the case, then I'm definitely going to play.

[NiMa74]

Totally in. I'm good for pretty much any time on Monday, but Tuesday, I'm only good for about 4-6 and 11-12 EST.
