[15th region slamdunk]

Good point, but once you start getting a little higher, I wouldn't advise going in with a team unless everyone is unbelievably good because you'll start getting matched up with teams that use strats and time all the power weapons.

We do that too. Back when me and Bobcatfan was seriously into MLG, we used strats, timed the power weapons and custom powerups, even ran a few customs with some pros. We was getting prepared to go to MLG events in 09, but never could find any team mates that was serious about it, then we lost interest sorta.
