[joeplicate]

mccain i'll team with you

 

[HugS™]

Ay if they try to make you pay for parking tell them you're with the gaming tournament.

They are having some big basketball event this weekend and they are charging parking for THAT.
Just let them know what you're here for and it should be fine, if anything call me.

What's happening over there?

[Fly_Amanita]

WOW, I just figured out where my controller is and I feel stupid. I actually brought an old controller that I thought was broken by accident, but somehow didn't notice until after winners finals in doubles. The controller I usually use was sitting in my room. I'm really amused that I would make a mistake like this; I blame sleep-deprivation.

Shoutouts:

Mango- I don't need Brawl anymore!

Lucky- Too good, as always.

Hugo- Corneria is so much worse than FD for Samus.

Lovage- Yeah, I'll get a controller converter; I think using keyboard controls for a while has made me more cumbersome with an actual controller, and I want to fix that.

Pink Reaper- We didn't play nearly enough at this tourney. Heck, we only got in a Samus v. Falco match and a Yoshi ditto.

Maple and Boss- fun doubles friendlies

Fiction- You've definitely improved since the last time I saw you.

Johnny- You button mash really well and your DI is very good.

MacD- Peach-ICs is such a stupid team, but we did well!

DunSkies- Kill Nana more.

Larry- It's always fun watching you play.

Joe- You did seem a little off today, but you'll get back in good form really quickly. You always do.

USSR- You give me strength!

 

[TheLifeRuiner]

shoutouts i guess

maple - man i got *****...i went in feeling confident...but the skill gap is obvious haha i'll catch up soon

hyprid - **** it your marth is too fast for me

TravisT - ganon is awesome

johnny - beat oscar next time

nice seeing everyone

 

[MacD]

well i'm glad i made the trip to this tourny

fly- teams was fun, that team is ******** but we should try again some day

larry- nair nair nair nair you die

mango- stupid sucky *** marth, i figured out my problem, you're going down next time

lovage- i'll get you next time, but i learned something, if i'm up 2-1 in stocks, i can't get comfortable and think i'll win

joe- glad we got that good set

lucky- hope you liked the granola bar, i'll bring you more next tourney

jkun- doing well

sdr- step it up, go to more tournies

maple/boss- good to see you guys going places, and maple, we're playing lots now that you're in irvine

PinkWanker- Thanks for driving. I think you woke me up 10+ times last night. Please find my drugs.
Joe and Oscar- you guys are too cool. You f*cking better come visit and have the gnome riddle figured out. I'll practice my sh*t, and I'll be beasting in no time.

[MacD]

EDIT: haha gishnak, you took that screen shot hella long ago

 

[joeplicate]

LOL at equis.com

Ay_Flaminita: MOAR FRIENDLIES! 3 will never be enough, we need 12 hours of them.

Joeplicate+Oscar: Teach me to be good with Fox, spamming blind tech will only get me so far.

Larry: YOU'RE MEAN! Thanks for teaching me to powershield though.

Devious Derek: You didn't even go to the tourney.

Romeo: Neither did you D:<

Lucky: Your pichu sucks. Me > You

Fiction: Get ***** by Shine Spikes. You're hella legit though for having come from brawl all of like, 3 months ago.

Hugo: Good **** man, but **** you for putting me on a TV that just crapped out during one of my matches.

Nasty Nate: Kirby is a Shiek counter, we all know it.

Boss: The **** man? Mewtwo? Really? AND you beat me with it

Gishnak: Get ***** at the ATM

Me: Im awesome for driving everyone

Chipotle: I'd like you so much more if there wasn't a better version of you in the town in which I live.

Mango: Im not bluefox

 

[Kira-]

yeah it's cool haha, i'm just glad you're not pulling the whole "last set was more LEGIT because of no lag" thing

lag = not legit

 

[joeplicate]

ur a ***, straight up

 

[J.Shadows]

Lag is stup!d as f**k!

-Atlus

 

[Kira-]

you can't argue that lag is legit

if it was we wouldn't make such an effort to eliminate lag from all our tournaments

activegamers in particular changed all their tvs in order to satisfy complaints about lag, even though they apparently believed there was no lag themselves

 

[EdreesesPieces]

That MACD advertisement is the greatest thing i've ever seen

 

[joeplicate]

of course it's not legit, and it's not the conditions that you would want to play tournament under, but it's an equal handicap to both players. the results for that tournament were exactly the same as any other


So before some ****wit goes and says "u mad," I'll just come out and say it. No lie, I'm mad.

What's really upsetting about days like yesterday is for the last month I thought I was beyond feeling frustrated after a loss; I thought I was beyond feeling defensive and overwhelmed and trembly inside, because these feelings are exactly what holds players back. The problem is I've always feared losing more than I love winning. I did well in high school, but it was because I was afraid of being embarrassed missing an assignment. I did homework the period before it was due; I was always an A- student. Unfortunately, it's the same way in smash--I know that what's driven me to play for as long as I have is that same fear of punishment. Getting into it, I knew that, whatever happened, I didn't want to be one of those guys who had played for years and years but never gotten good, who have always been stuck at a wall of their own construction.

So when circumstances give me the **** like they did yesterday, it feels worse than anything imaginable. It's a concrete manifestation of me not living up to my own expectations, and it feels ****ing terrible. Mango told me that his mindset was, from the beginning, to be the very best, and I truly believe this was the key to his improvement. My goal was just to be "pretty good," and even then (although I didn't want to admit it), it was really more "don't be bad." Above all, I found the idea of "not improving" the most terrible. So I think that this is about the farthest I can get thinking the way I have been; choking in tournament, getting angry at myself during friendlies because oscar is still better than me, feeling defeated when I went to bed two nights ago downstairs while people were still playing, improving and growing and enjoying themselves. I knew that if I really wanted it, I'd be staying up playing, trying to prove myself. Instead, I went to sleep.

The next day, I ate ****, of course; drifting off to sleep, I hoped I wouldn't, but part of me still knew. When me and alex lost to johnny and oscar in teams, that was the final nail in the coffin. Last match, last hit, me vs johnny were the only ones left, and I ****ed it up. This was my failure, my responsibility, and there was no blaming lack of teamwork or sleep johns or a bad controller or anything. Not to sound too dramatic, the weight of my expectations came crashing down all at once. When singles came around, I didn't really care. I think I lost every first round I played except to pink reaper and jkun. Losing to alex and macd was pretty bad too.

But how this helps me, the way I'm made up like this, is that my bad losses are where I learn the most. Losing to 24 and cameron at connor's house a long time ago was my biggest and best wake-up call yet; before, I was an automatic player, and it worked or it didn't. After, I started thinking about positions, move choice, momentum--my game exploded. I don't want to discredit macd in any way, I honestly love the guy and I think he's a clutch player (even though he DOES have nooby habits). He nearly had a sick comeback against oscar, last game. The last thing I want to do is transfer my negative feelings to mccain, or come off as bitter to anybody, for that matter. That's not me, people KNOW that's not me, and I know for certain that's not the way to improve. And ultimately, improvement is what I value most. So I know this whole experience will be a stepping-stone for me, and I'll see you guys at coast 2 coast.

 

[joeplicate]

and sorry for writing a ****ing essay lol
