BIO! 5

[Zylo]

Before I address anything else, I'm going to comment/explain everything from our TO's side. We ran into several issues as the day progressed, primarily when we tried to start PM Doubles. We started ~ a half hour late on all of our events, and as the day went on, became a little bit overwhelmed by everything that was going on. We were short-staffed (yay finals and bad planning), and it caused us to make mistakes such as not entering a couple of players onto our registration sheet who had registered. We fixed the errors where we could, but some people got burned and had to be refunded without a chance to enter the bracket. On top of that, we did not anticipate the delay from having the same ~4 people being in the top 4 of each event, and it caused the tournament to go much longer than anticipated. Because they did not want to stay and play longer than 11:30 at night, Chad, J00t, Moogle, and Keno wound up splitting top 2/3 of the PM events. All of this has been very eye-opening on our side, we we're making serious adjustments for the next BIO, all of which will be made public so all of you can see why things are going to be made even better next time. All I can do at this point is apologize, and promise that we will put serious effort into optimizing what we can and planning better.

Now then! Thanks to all the out of towners who attended, particularly Pikachad, Huntsville, and Birmingham, who took all of the moneys (except melee doubles 2nd place, yoooo). Big big big thanks to the @HsvASL crew for streaming the event. Sorry for things getting hectic. Your setup was very professional and very high quality, and I heard nothing but positivity from those who watched the stream.

Shoutouts:

@ Zoma Thanks for being an awesome doubles partner and TO. There were definitely moments when you carried me hard. You'll get Winnar next time

@ j00t It was great to finally see you at one of our tournaments.

@ moogle Always a pleasure. Playing you is a blast.

@ -Chad- Thanks for deciding to come down to Tuscaloosa and show us how to play some smash. Your doc made me feel really dumb. It was fun.

@ swordzenmaster Manned the TO booth like a champ your commentary with @ Chongo was enjoyable as always.

@ _Keno_ I think you're 7-0 on me in tournament sets. Next time though!!

@Erich Sorry that we kind of screwed you with the bracket placement. On the plus side, you got to play Chad? Yeah, you were better than where we put you. I apologize. Also, it was lame what happened in doubles. I should've let you team with kevin/given you a refund.

@ #HBC | Ryker and @ Metmetm3t thanks for coming all the way up to Tuscaloosa to play some smash with us. Next time I promise to take you up on that IHOP.

 

[Child Star]

really bad performance on my part. Maybe next time.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Had I placed any higher in melee I would be embarrassed that I placed higher in it than in my main game

 

[.Hook]

Just in case it matters

In PM Singles
-MVU used Mario and Ganondorf
-Jimb0 used Falco and Fox
-.Hook only used Mario
-Flame Blade 2 used Roy and Zelda
-CGB used ZSS

In PM Doubles
-Child Star + .Hook beat both CGB+Jake and Pr0t0+Smoof in losers, they both got 7th? Is that a thing? I'm gonna feel dumb if that's a thing.

In Melee Singles
-Child Star used CFal
-Murf used CFal
-.Hook used Fox and Marth (hence why I definitely didn't win anything)
-If CGB didn't also use CFal I'd be incredibly surprised

In Melee doubles
-Child Star+.Hook went double Marth in the only game we won just put that (we're the best)

If it doesn't matter, disregard, just figured it might for stats and whatnot.

 

[_Keno_]

I would have wanted to play more matches, even that late, if the stream was still up. I especially want high-level matches of mine to be recorded. Speaking of which, is there a way to check all of the matches streamed?

They're on the twitch.tv/hsvasl archive. I'm not sure what the plans are for uploading.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

They're all in one big video in the Huntsville twitch archives, and by the way Keno, would you consider our matches from Saturday high level or combo video?

 

[Chongo]

Lost every match ever. Still a blast both playing and commentating! Cant wait for the next tourney!

 

[Flame Blade 2]

It was fun. I feel like I placed around where I expected in PM singles, but looking at that doubles placement makes me depressed. Really feel like I let Erich down there... 20XX ain't an easy year to live in though.

 

[Merk]

I'm honestly pretty stoked I picked up a set win after the whole semester of inactivity thing. I'm coming out of retirement in the spring though - prepare yourselves for the jankiest Falco that ever janked this side of the Jankissippi.

Yo, get outta here. 20XX is so much easier for Roy. No Peach, no Shiek, no Ganon, no ICs. I'm about that life.

That Double Marth really caught me off guard i didn't know what do against a double Marth lol

Merely hold out for game 3, that's all you can do

 

[_Keno_]

You guys should have a side tournament where its teams, but with team attack off (marth banned).
