I believe a good amount of people will be there.

BTW, it was Vex's Bowser.
Him having Kai experience probably didn't help too much either. lol.

That's what I assumed, lol

He's also played Malcolm and myself. Moreso Malcolm, I only played him once in Low Tiers :/ we went 1-2 so at least I beat him the first match >_> the rest were really close.

EDIT: Also, for the love of god, BAN BATTLEFIELD

Now we all know how much I love this stage, but thats like suicide...both the matches I lost were on that stage, lol. Bowser is so **** there.

Like I said, I realized the mistake in CPing to Battlefield. In fact, right when the match on Battlefield started, I remembered telling him:

"In retrospect this was a TERRIBLE counterpick."

But whatever. I'm gonna win next time, if ever a next time shows itself. That is a fact.

PS: Oh, and the internet at my house is currently not working, which is why I haven't made any posts after 5PM Central since Sunday. I'll be updating the thread the moment I get the connection back up.

Hey Espy, did you fight Dekar at Hobo, by chance?

 

[ithrowthings]

So.... you should all go to Season's Beating IV

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=245091

it's gonna be awesome. If anyone can go I'll pay your part of the hotel room for free.

 

[MalcolmM]

I've never played Vex in singles...only 1 time in low tier doubles =(

Kai has played him multiple times tho i believe.

Good matches tho espy...idk if the first 2 werent recorded or if i missed them but they were fun to watch.

 

[Roxas1988]

Is bowser really that hard to fight on BF? I found it pretty easy actually.

 

[~TBS~]

Espy...you looked like you wanted to go all out vs Vex. Thats the most aggro i have ever saw you.

Man, i need to get OoS.

 

[Umby]

Hard is not the word. More like dangerous. Think fighting Marth on BF except instead of a girl swinging at you with her sword, there's a giant turtle taking up half the field.

 

[Espy Rose]

Hey Espy, did you fight Dekar at Hobo, by chance?

In SA, we played a friendly crew battle and he beat me by one stock. It was hilarious, I was getting ready to three stock him, and he comes back and beats me.
We then played in several friendlies, and I won those. Dekar's pretty fun to play.
Our sandbagging abilities are too good.

Good matches tho espy...idk if the first 2 werent recorded or if i missed them but they were fun to watch.

Both, Malcolm. They were streamed, and they weren't recorded.
I still don't feel like I played at my best though.

Espy...you looked like you wanted to go all out vs Vex. Thats the most aggro i have ever saw you.

Man, i need to get OoS.

That's exactly the problem. I went too aggro.

And that's that for now. Any other fixes that could be used for the first two posts? I want this thread to look and function well, and I need input to do so. :D

 

[Browny]

:/

last tourney was lowest tournout ever only 8 people its not even worth recording here lol.

Least I got some interesting Sonic matches in for the grand final set 1... none were taped. lost to my brothers mk wario (barely) and wolf and beat his kirby... he was picking a new character for every single match lol. I was hoping for a rematch of Sonic vs Snake but he just didnt want to use it against my Sonic :/

 

[Exceladon City]

Have you ever fought a Bowser on Lylat? I played Sliq and I had a quarter of the stage to work with.

 

[da K.I.D.]

i played sliq before, bowser takes up a lot of space and makes it hard to manuver but sonic is still capable of running circles around him imo.

but then again, its been a long while

 

[Ken Neth]

X got first at another OoS tourney today. 32 entrants. I'll post it when the real results are up.

 

[JayBee]

Awesome. cant wait to see who was there.

7th - Kinzer (Sonic)

Well, can't say I'm exactly happy or proud of it, but at least some good came out of it.

I'm a bit ashamed though, Zr0 beat me in a Sonic ditto... in a tourney match... and he doesn't even use Sonic (anymore).

I dunno, maybe I got caught off-gaurd by the fact that with the exception of _X_, nobody else has yet to beat me in a Sonic ditto, let alone challenge me outside friendlies. Hopefully I can make up for that.

Tails wasn't there, but my doubles results are no different from how they usually are.

I'd say I got a hard bracket. Mi's a Snake player, a good one at that. Came down to 1 stock both matches, but I just couldn't beat him. Oh well, maybe next time, I think that's the first time I've played him, honestly. I wish I could've beaten him, I got hyped up by spectators, but failed to do so. Not a big deal though, Mi is power-ranked.

Oh mang, I beat HebrewHammer for the first time. Why did he not use MK this time? I'm not sure if he was better off, or if it was his downfall, but he decided to use G&W. The only reason I can beat this obnoxious character at all is because unlike Lucario, his killpower is static and his killmoves are so easily foreseen. Not to say Lucario's kills aren't, but add the fact that G&W is still light even with Bucket-Braking, and even though I'd rather not play G&W, I can still win if I want to. I also love how easy it is to SDI the Bair, everytime I got caught in it I could punish him with something. Learning to shield everything helps too, like Keyblade Dairs.

There was no room for Homing Attack in those matches outside recovery, I learned from Espy's mistakes.

Uhm... yeah, that's about it for that matchup.

Got lucky with Vicko, he kept blowing himself up and suiciding... wish he wouldn't have done so because he must've got a bit angry about that, but a win's a win though.

I'm done.

 

[4nace]

Haha sucks that you lost that Sonic ditto Kinzer. I usually switch to Falco or someone against other Sonic's since I know the character's weaknesses by now and for some reason every bad/decent Sonic aerial spin charges into Falco's Up smash haha.

But I'm terrible at Sonic dittos for some reason or another so I understand =P

7/14 is good though. Claiming equal skill level for all players its a little higher than a Sonic should be haha =)

1st - X (Sonic)

I hope i did the format right.... anyways... Wooo hooo sonic takes first in colorado :D

 

[ShadoFiend]

Nice. You got any new vids of your sonic at all _X_?

 

[Espy Rose]

There's videos of him vs. a MK in the Winner's Finals of that tournament on the same page as those results in that thread he linked.

 

[4nace]

Eww those were winner's finals? Not really an impressive first match. I'd have to watch the others. But that Metaknight was pretty bad. MK doesn't have to shield SDRs at all, he can just shuttle loop every single one haha, that Metaknight must not play against many sonics.

But _X_ looked pretty good. It seems he is really lagging behind ESPY and Shugo nowadays =(

That metaknight rode an easy bracket. It was stupid. Almost all of Utah was on one side of the bracket. And then Kenny... god that guy sucks without warm up. We had just come from being ****ed over by wyoming for 13 hours. And first thing we have to do is tourney matches. Yeah, thats AWESOME. :/

 

[Espy Rose]

@ Sinz: Did no one bother to seed the bracket effectively?

===

Thread updated.

 

[4nace]

Haha gotcha. Well I mean it was really well played by _X_ but its sad that the winner's finals weren't of higher caliber aww well.

And don't get me wrong X is still amazing it just looks like of recently ESPY and Shugo have pulled past him quite a bit =P

LOL that was so gay. It was literally my second match after driving for eight hours, being stuck in a truck stop for 13 not being able to sleep, then driving 4 more hours to the tourney. Too bad he didn't want Loser's finals recorded where I 3-0'd him with a couple two stocks. He really did have the easiest bracket.

 

[Sinz]

@Espy- no they didn't very well. At all. :/ We even talked to them, and then they randomized it without seeding. :/

And don't get me wrong, Ken Neth is an AMAZING Snake. He is just extremely technical, and doesn't do good with out warm up.

 

[___X___]

Is true Is true, i suck now..... Well not really suck, but not as good as other sonic mains. BAHHHH. :[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

 

[Kinzer]

You're fine X.

At least you still f'ing use Sonic.

 

[vidwatcher4ever]

Sup guys, been out of the tourney scene since the summer @_@

I don't know whats been taking my time more, School, Work, or BlazBlue?

 

[Espy Rose]

You're fine X.

Out of Shugo, Kai, Malcolm, X, and myself, X and I are the only ones that still go Sonic only.
****.

 

[4nace]

Haha X youre still amazing! Just get back into the tourney scene and you'll be up with the big dogs again. I loved watching your old stuff back last winter. Made me learn how awesome an aggressive Sonic can be.

-13th, Sonic Rave, all Sonic

I suck :l

This was my 3rd tournament. I made the exact same placement at the last tourney I attended lol. I guess I should be glad I am at least being consistent, but I still want to place better in the future.

 

[Kinzer]

Takes quite a while to get where you want to be, especially when you play Sonic. Hell, I wonder if it is at all possible... but I digress...

At least you're out-placing half the entrants, like I used to (and still...) do.

As long as you are improving is what matters, not necessarily the placing you get.

...I'm going to another tourney tomorrow. I'll see how I do...
