Spoiler

Note: Losers R5 was Albert vs LK and JF vs Expensive Heat (Jose). Albert was swapped with JF so Dallas vs Dallas and Austin vs Austin wouldn't occur. Albert defeated Jose and went to play MT in R6, were MT won. In the future I don't think I will do bracket swaps again.

I can't believe I didn't make it out of pools.

Really well run tourney, thanks for running it all Gabe, still can't believe I didn't make it out. First time that's happened in, like, years.

 

[-=Untamed-Beast=-]

I can't believe I didn't make it out to this. :3

 

[WaterlessFishie]

Missed you @Sethlon :/

 

[MrClean]

Very well run tourney. The stream was beautiful too. Today I saw the legendary jiggs shield break. Poor Austin ; _ ;
Can't wait for the next one. Nice job Gabe #FreeHamlin

 

[Scaremonger]

@ hamyojo

Regardless, I still got wrecked in Fox dittos, lol. Teach me how to be good at spacies please. I'm completely terrible at Fox dittos especially; Mojo just tripled the amount of times I've been 4-stocked in tournament.

Also, shoutouts to @kirbykid for being a low-tier god, @2-bit for being totally free, and @ W WaterlessFishie for results threads that come out on frame 1.

 

[Dakpo]

Missed you @Sethlon :/

lol he would have been there 100% if there was pm

 

[-=Untamed-Beast=-]

We should have Melee and P:M at DIME 10. The venue has been too good for us, so this is naturally the next step.

totes srs guise 100 purr scent

 

[Laser_kirby_007]

This was great! I love hanging around with this scene and the tournament was very well organized!! Had tons of fun! :D

 

[PTJon]

Gabe once again proving that hes the best TO ever, even finishing before schedule! I can see myself improving without a doubt, super excited for an awesome summer of tournaments. All the tournament sets I recorded will be uploaded to TexasMelee within this week. If anyone wants footage of them playing on TV 11 (the second tv on the side row that was across from Gabe) message me and I'll get it to you.

@ Scaremonger I'm pretty certain that I won't be able to make KotH3 sooooo who knows when well actually have the crew battle. Its ok though, all the delays just make it more hype!

I did 4 MM's in a row against you, Quot3, and Element Of Smash. What I really want is my back air>up Smash, but also everything else please!

 

[BLOCKHEAD]

Just want to say thanks again Gabe for another awesome Dime experience, Hopefully next time we can get some more SA players to come out. Also, Hamyojo those matches against PKT were 2 Hype! Last but not least thank you to Sethlon and Tadeo for your generous hospitality!

The tournament was pretty fun up until Hamlin decided to get diskish. I hate to be so obscene, but it's pretty damn rude when everytime I wobbled him he would either swat his hands at my controller or just blatantly unplug it. Hamlin was so full of it that at the end of the match he reseted the Gamecube, putting the stream on hold for a good few minutes while I had to go get a memcard for the cube.

I probably shouldn't have sandbagged in pools, but for a good amount of time after the match I had with Hamlin I just didn't want to play anymore. I ended up giving up the rest of my points to everybody else I needed to play in the pool primarily because of how I felt.

"I'm thirsty, let's take a drink mid match"​

After I got my head back into the game and after forfeiting my points, I did end up playing (and winning 2-0) a set with a Marth player on stream who was in my pool since he told me that he needed practice.

@Everybody, Especially stream people (Infinity and Bec) and Waterless, I would really appreciate it if you mentioned both parts of my tag instead of mentioning only half of it. At DIME 9 I really felt like only half of me was there because of this. My current tag is 'Aliami + Mysti'.

 

[Deleted member]

I want to say so many things right now

gabe I'm doing this for you... it hurts.

 

[Scaremonger]

@ Scaremonger I'm pretty certain that I won't be able to make KotH3 sooooo who knows when well actually have the crew battle. Its ok though, all the delays just make it more hype!

Honestly, if it comes down to it, we can just host it at one of our houses here in Allen. I have a CRT of my own, and @xoRi has a streaming/recording setup, so it's definitely feasible. Whatever you guys want to do. As long as all 4 members of both sides are present, I'm good.

 

[UNTfury]

@ BLOCKHEAD sick set in pools, that marth switch in g3 was hella unexpected

 

[BLOCKHEAD]

@ UNTfury thanks man! same to you, hopefully I can make it out to the next one so we can have a rematch : )

... You're really saying the reason you chose to sandbag in pools is because in the most friendly of friendlies (my ROY vs your ICs) I messed around and that threw you off? If your ability to focus and stay ready for a game can be faltered by something so silly there's no reason you should even bother coming to tournies.
And maybe, just maybe when I'm not playing in a tourney set I want to have fun, that's why it's called a friendly. You know what's not fun? Getting wobbled in friendlies. I was hoping to play a good, silly match with my Roy, I was not hoping to learn to do perfect shield pressure so I don't get punished by the most boring punish in the game.

I'm not sure why you would come to a tourney at this point. If you wanted to have fun and make friends, you wouldn't be wobbling in friendlies. If you desired results, well, you'd listen to advice more and actually get better. You have to choose one, otherwise you're just wasting everyones time. Either way you need to grow up a bit.

The oddest part is that I've been nothing but kind to you, and just because I was being silly in a two minute friendly you're calling me names and blaming me for your poor performance. We were even hanging out and having fun later in the event, I didn't hear a word of this until seeing this post!

Apprently I'm "diskish" "rude" and "full of it." I would have apolgized for being all of those to you if you brought them up to me after I, apparently, ruined your entire day. But you didn't, you're just calling me out here for no particular reason, anad I can't find any good reason to feel sorry for you.

Next time we play I'll be sure to do everything I did yesterday, plus plenty more, it'll be really fun.

 

[Scaremonger]

Hamlin nooooooooo. Don't fall for the bait, dude. Don't let yourself get Aliami'd.

 

[Deleted member]

ITS TOO LATE, HE CAN'T GO BACK

 

[Scaremonger]

I don't understand why people don't just block him. I did it pretty shortly after DIME 5, both on here and Facebook, and my quality of life has significantly improved because of it.

 

[HodgyDot]

To be fair, Albert should be above JF in this i believe, JF lost to LK in first or second around, while Albert only lost to MT both in winners and later in losers.


2cents

Albert is too good. That reverse 4stock on Best Friend John was one of the most hype moments of the whole tournament, and like 5 people saw it, lol. And this was, what, his 4th tournament? I wish I could do stuff like that at my 4th tournament.

 

[PTJon]

3rd actually, he went to Collected and KotH2 before DIME. So yea in three tournaments hes already pretty much the best person in DFW.....

I think seeing the character representation is always cool, anyone wanna help finish this?

[Deleted member]

Yeah albert is definitely better than everyone in dfw right now lol

 

[TheRealAlbert]

dawwwwwwwwww

 

[Deleted member]

I did good at Smash Brother, I think I'm best because I play Falcon pliot and he killed the fox and the bird.

Ten Cents Nine was one of the best tournaments I have been to in awhile.

 

[Deleted member]

@Hamlin
I'm sorry I wobbled you in friendlies, but I need to practice the kill after getting a wobble. If you don't buffer an input for a D-smash or F-smash after a jab as popo, Nana won't do it in time and the two will just let the opponent go. If you don't want me to wobble you, indicate that before the match.

It's a common curiosity to not wobble during friendlies since it drags on the match longer than intended and makes the experience not fun and boring.

 

[Nair]

So this event was solid:

* No matches with Hamlin
* Met Hodgy IRL
* Was a part of a sick double rest kill that will never leave my memory.(Friendlies, was stream strammed)
* Had a sick comeback in another doubles game. (Friendlies)
* Got reasonably bodied in tournament and on most friendlies.
* Had a heart-to-heart with another smasher
* Ate Wendy's
* Lost a 1$ money match and paid in soda.
* Discussed Denti's need for a Texan hat.
* Discussed Hamlin's desire for GodZilla.
And much more...

Great event! I hope that rest was recorded and goes on YouTube, so I can put that in my vault of embarrassing melee moments.

 

[Deleted member]

I did some okay commentary and matches, but you know how it is being on stream, if you're not good, it really doesn't matter whether or not you're there. I mean, of course you get the experience and pleasure, and of course the practice, but you don't get the respect.

17: Denthorn

Are you sure? I don't think Denthorn plays anyone besides Falcon.

Also, I forgot to mention this in my original post, but I want to give a big ****ing shoutout to @S0UPER HACKER for beating Ezra in tournament with Marth.

 

[Infinitysmash]

The videos from this event are currently uploading and should be available within the next 48~ hours.

You can find all of the videos on the TourneyLocator YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TourneyLocator

 

[WaterlessFishie]

hmm idk if i'm ready to call albert best in dfw just yet.
at this pace it'll be pretty soon though...

 

[Penguin_ftw]

Denthorn was playing Falco, and Albert hasn't done enough to warrant "best in DFW" title yet

proper shoutouts to come when I'm not about to pass the **** out, but thanks to Gabe for being the awesomest TO ever

 

[BoomStick]

Just wanted to say it was great seeing everyone again and I hope you all had safe rides home.

 

[MT_]

GGs to all. Gabe you ran an awesome tournament and I had a great tme. Thanks for housing me. Sorry to Arc for sucking in teams. Shout outs to Albert for really impressing me. It really won't be long until you become a serious threat in Texas. Well, that is if you have the drive/motivation to aim for the top. Hope to see you travel in the future and show the rest of Texas outside of Dallas that you are a force to be reckoned with.

New blood makes me excited teehee.

Also **** fly guys and Falcon punch.

 

[pizzacato]

Shout outs to every Falco player. There's too many.

Also, shout-outs to AG | Arc for the hype set in bracket.
I will forever cherish that it was a 2-1, and not a 2-0.

 

[HodgyDot]

Albert is too good. That reverse 4stock on Best Friend John was one of the most hype moments of the whole tournament, and like 5 people saw it, lol. And this was, what, his 4th tournament? I wish I could do stuff like that at my 4th tournament.

Yeah that was insane lol It makes me feel bad watching him play lol.

But the hype he brings to DFW melee is nice...o so nice
