Can't make it to the tournament, but here's my pitch: New member here, my name is Joseph. I'm also pretty new to this game(Just rented it a few days and tried out various characters, combos, read through threads on the site) but really enjoy it. Would be up to offline any day but thursday since I have another game I play with some Chicago friends. I live in Westmont but have no problem traveling a bit(I go 30/45 minutes for my other group). Main Ermac, Reptile and trying to pick up Cyrax once I can play again.
later june I might be able to host a bit too but would need to have gotten to know you guys before hand(for the family ok), and my TV is pretty laggy =\.
