Was good to play again. Thanks all for the fun.

MANGrOve (your downunda name....mate): Nice show man. I'm possibly inspired to smash again (I never thought this possible). Thanks for the random-fest + Hope your trip home is safe :)
Redact: Your reactive-defensive is pretty strong - though you spam losing moves too many times consecutively IMO. PS, I thought you'd be over choking by now bro xD
Dekar: Nice show, but I think someone forgot Sheik 101. I'll tell you about what I noticed you doing wrong if you like, just hit me up on chat.
Sheik Guy (ZXV I think - can't recall sry): Great Sheik there my friend! I like you attitude too. Although you don't know me from a bar of soap, here's some observations anyhow - take them as you please :): If I saw room for improvement in your game it'd be in you use of platforms for a little more stage control (waveland fflc air > combo and the like) and I saw a few occasions where canceling your UpB to edgehog could have bought you an advantage. Keep up the good work :)
Jei: Thanks for the team games man - was heaps of fun. We were much more solid than I'd expected. Good catching up also.
Ted: You and your little exclusive corner lol. Didn't get some ginger showdown 1v1's with you, but was good fun playing teams :). Hope to see your 1v1 gdorf one of these days.
Arrow (maybe the name - should've asked. I heard once or twice so hope I'm right xD): If I'm right you were the other guy playing teams with Jei and I. If so, thanks for the games :). So...much...Falcon....knee.....urgh.
Robsta: Remember my advice young padawan....The force be with you!
Bruce Lee: Confidence isn't your Forte - Buy man-loads of confidence > profit. Thanks for the games :) (Low tiers for the win!)
RedX: Nice work man - respect. Sorry I didn't get to play some games with you, but next time we shall have to make that happen!
Earl: What happened!? You told me you were going to destroy Dekar! Seems you need more POWAH! You're another guy I'll have to get some games in with in the future.

Everyone else: Pretty sure that's the extent of people I had the chance to spend some time with. I'll make an effort (maybe half-azzd but it'll happen) to show up to some monthlies. Have to get some games with Atticus, Attila, Tibs and the like.

Dude dressed as Ness: LOL Nice one.

Shame my gc-n64 adapter wanted to die, works fine now for for whatever 4ucked up reason

shame the recording equipment decided to use a ridiculous 320gb of space for recording to die/ finish before mango came over

Shame girls didnt understand why i came to melbourne to play tv

i doubt your talking about ZXV, if your trying to give advice to the highest placing Australian at this event losing only to mango. ZXV is the black guy who came second, dah. and if you areindeed talking about ZXV then who are you to give advice to the best Aus melee player at BAM, where did you place?

People excel in different areas, Gords. I give Apollo advice all of the time because despite him being better than me overall, I excel in some areas that he does not and I have better knowledge when it comes to frame data, high level metagames and several match-ups.

I accept advice from everybody. You judge the quality of the advice, not the source. Everything Shaz said was relevant and was certainly good to consider.

Hearing other people give comments about your own gameplay is a good way to get better because it gives various perspectives, which allows you to notice exploitable habits/weaknesses you have.

(Also, wasn't Shaz #1 in Australia at one point...?)

yeah, in all sincerity, i find shaz to be one of the best analyzers we have

sorta like our own version of wife.

also, if shaz is actually srs about reviving his melee, i'd feel like getting back into it too with him.

not sure if he was no.1 (cao?) but definitely very good and has a very knowledgeble insight in the game.
+ he like plays roy soooo.

now im up might aswell do shoutouts.

Redact - thanks for organizing everything and running on schedule*, playing you in pools was hella fun too.

Dekar - Man you too good, marth and his gay grabs, gonna spend the next year learning how to DI out of dat up throw omg.

Zxv - Was nice meeting you and watching you play man, nice to have another sheik to look up too cause everyone else plays dirty as characters, unlike honest shiek lol, Defs would like to get some matches again/watch you play.

Tedeth - GOOD GAMES OMG. Your jiggs was insane crazy and your ganon just as much, definately the most intense set i played all day.

Monkeybear - good games man, sorry you had to stop 1/2 through and get music, the only problem is you didnt hear me compliment you doing **** stuff when we were playing, thanks for the insight into couterpicking stages aswell.

J - MAN WE SO GOOD AT TEAMS, not really lol. blaming it on your brawl sucks, start playing the real game :p

Atticus - Really enjoyed our sets, i dont think there will ever be a time im not scared to play your fox, gotta love that edge game though. looking forward to playing you next monthly.

Oli - Definately a solid falco you got there bro, you played really well and deserved that ****** you gave me. Definately wanna play you again.

Fortei - enjoyed our set, maybe you shoulda gone fox the whole time last that time you killed me at the monthly aha.

Attila - Honestly, watching your snake play brawl kinda (like 5%) wants me to play brawl, the methodology and intelligence that your snake has is extremely fun to watch.

Tibs - Congrats on most saltiest ahaha, and good job killing me/jei in teams in melee, your fox is very good, not sure why your not on the pr.

Shaz - Good seeing you again after so long man, definately need to play you and get some godly advice like back in the 07 days lmao, thanks for the appreciation too, definately means alot coming from you. (not sarcastic lol)

Ggs to everyone i played in pools (Arrow, Matt and 1der) and everyone else in general

EDIT - PLEASE COME BACK CAO </3

lol nobody knows who shaz is anymore :3

shaz was the most skilled smasher but he always had issues in the finals of tournaments or randomly forfeited.

cao doesn't play anymore? :o

Haha I remember this too xD. I've made a dkhead of myself more than a few times on these boards so I guess we can all count that as a common trait :).
<3 u both xD
+ <3 all of you for rushing to defend me! Holy cow that's like.....R.E.S.P.E.C.T right there....Don't know how to feel other than hugely warm and fuzzy LOL

I'm so coming back to Melee now! (and KO he's roped in too)

I accept advice from everybody. You judge the quality of the advice, not the source.
Man this guy...that attitude....Guys take heed! + The Gangplank lulz...

I didn't see you at BAM Shaz!
Sunday - from like 2 - 7 or so.

Oh I had the Brawl bracket, but I deleted it because I got the sense nobody cared. Besides, the dumb hotel would have been like "OMG YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1 LAPTOP in YOUR ROOM.
That stupidddddddddddddddddddddddd, hotel.

Edit: Ok, so maybe I was joking about losing the bracket, I'll have Brawl's Single and Doubles bracket up soon. The bracket posted earlier is not entirely accurate, but it's close.

I forfeit crews to go to the Casino, MUCH better idea, I got to win 3 and half grand. Owned hold'em at the table. "THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS YOUR FIRS *****ing T TIME PLAYING OTHER PLAYERS!!!!!!! Me: P-p-p-poker face p-p-poker face, mum mum mum mah. REDACT SAW IT!!!!!!

I 4 stocked Eric's Samus with Marth and I'm a terrible smash (espeically smash) player.

I probably would have gotten Robsta shoutouts if I actually won with Techies....

I should get them anyway for 6 kills in a row though :D

My first tourney. Great experience even though I was knocked out in pools. But I aint salty cause my pools included Forte, ZXV and Atilla. I am actually doing a shout out video very soon. Much love to all the ****ing boss people I met. Special shout outs obviously go to Mango (because he's a lightweight :p) and to the most friendly mother ****er I've ever had the pleasure of meeting; ZXV. Will link the video here when It's done :) <3

Mad big post



Ok so things didn’t go as entirely planned before and during BAM which kinda sucked, Mango came though and we all played melee which was mad. Cost me like big moneys but whatever eyyyy.



Sorry about the whole crews thing, lots of factors stopped crews for melee but the funds went to lower places in singles instead (2nd – 4th) so they’re not lost.



I tried to do what I could for recording, we tried to use Dekar’s stuff and It didn’t work. The other people with recording gear for melb didn’t bring their stuff and we ended up getting nothing. Maybe we can get some mango footage this weekend of him ****** Melbourne players though. Hopefully we can see Melbourne feature in rapex3 lool.



Sucks that a lot of people couldn’t make it, bad date planning before I became pres of CW resulted in us having the venue paid for before I could even have my say. A better date is my no1 priority for next BAM.



I hope people enjoyed BAM just as much as myself despite all shortcomings.



I hope to see more people there next year as my numbers sucked compared to Cao’s :(





Super Shout out:



Tak – By far the most helpful person this weekend that still plays melee, yeee. Sounds like the car has held up on the way back, thanks for all your help on the weekend at all random times when things went wrong. Tak da bess.





Normal Shout out’s:



VIC:



Plasia – You’re the bomb despite only seeing you a bit during the weekend. Sorry for your loss, Thanks for coming and your effort despite the bad timing.



Dekar – Way to lose to ZXV again. I thought u were good at this game but you lose to some nsw sheik psshh



Atticus – I don’t know what to say specifically in relation to BAM so ill just say you’re a cool guy.



Forte – You solidified your title of the story teller so well this weekend I think you’ve earned this title internationally now. Mango will go back to America and tell everyone of the great Australasian story teller.



Redx – zzz at our pools. Just wasn’t in the mood and almost won the second game despite the suicide at 0%. Next day you go on to lose to oli? Obvious falco weakness (8. Nice work beating Ted though and coming 4th.



Robsta – come over during the week, me and mango have a great idea involving 99 stock and a time limit (8



Shaz – Start playing again bro, I’ll teach you how to play up to 2008 meta-game standard ehauehaueh



Toshi – You should come to my meets and learn to play vs falco already geez



Joey – Nice work 4th in teams, I know it means a lot to you lol



Timic – lol timic



Earl – Nice work against Ted in bracket. Now let’s see if you can handle DK in melee...



Tibs – Good showing man, knocking out Black Shadow and almost beating Ted too. I wanted to see you break some stuff instead of me this time, Get even more salty please lol.



Attila – Why weren’t you in bracket huh? I expected top3 from you. Good work winning brawl yet again.



Sam – So helpful as well, you should have played some Ness. You would have ripped it up, I remember you almost beating ZXV at mine when you Nessed his sheik, no one understands.



Daniel – lol you got bracket *****, someone had to be 16th seed sorry.



Haikal – When do we take mango to get some Crazy wings? I’m not that crazy but I think Mango is crazy enough.



SkeleTom – No falcons in the bracket, you didn’t fill the gap either. Man up!



Splice – Weekend saver, figured out how to get us un-shafted by the hotel. What a boss. Too bad you didnt make bracket for melee



Jei – Good work with brawl, Sounds like things went well despite no leisha.





NSW:



ZXV – Nice work beating Dekar yet again. I will never forget your excuse for stealing things: “I just see things and I want them!”



Ted – ****in puff jesus bull**** **** you **** your family die in a fire



Gords – Smile for once son damn.





QLD:



Arrow – where was the ganon man? Since when was marth the answer? You almost had me, but marth aint no ganon.



Cal – The only interaction I had with you was letting you use my shower then seeing you shirtless. I don’t know what this means but it can’t be bad right?





SA:



Nova – First time playing poker rofl. No wonder you stomp the casino every time. Thanks for the pot boost and the overall contribution, what a champ.



Monkeybear – Good man, Good taste in drinks too.



Blackshadow – You didn’t make it to bracket man what?! I thought you were good! (or at least monkey bear keeps telling me this...) I expect top 5 at next major. Do it.



Misfire – Why didn’t we get lucky? Explain please



Oli – Good work beating Redx after I lost to him in pools. Falco reppin. You lost to Tim though! Shame on you.





USA:



Mang0 – You’re dumb







People who didn’t come:



S.D: Maaannnnn I wanted to see you and for you to play mango. Asdf win a lottery or something thanks.



Cao: Troll less, the troll rights for Melbourne players are reserved by me and Dekar kthx.



Everyone else:



You suck, you missed out

Gords – Smile for once son damn
i smiled heaps this tourney, i made great progress in my rage less goal, especailly after the ACL rage fest i went through. yes i did rage and was annoyed at myself sometimes but overall i was more controlled than i have been in a while.
