I had a good weekend.
I got raep'd in the Guitar Hero tournament. Again. But I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT BRAPL, RIGHT?!
On Saturday, I had fun schooling teh n00bs in ffas, no stocks/5min. On the Green Hill Zone, I managed to score 21 KOs in those 5min, lmao raep. At one point, one of the players were like "Dude, everyone go after White Marth! HE'S LIKE KILLING US ALL!" Or something like that.
My new controller was pretty nice to play with. Everyone was like "O shi- white controller?!" haha
I think the tournament itself was run pretty well.
My first match was against this guy that looked like he came to watch his son compete but just decided to play for the heck of it. Marth ditto was full of 3stock raep. I was confident enough to choose Wolf for the next game, even though I had only recently picked him up. Now that I think of it, I should've chosen Zelda for a few of those games that I chose Wolf. Anyways, my Wolf, his Samus, Distant Planet. Raep.
My second match put me against a boy Dan "Sally" Salazar. It was my Marth vs his Kirby. A Kirby with "Sally" floating over his head. Pretty harmless looking, right? Although it was closer than I would've imagined, I won the first game on Battlefield. The second game, same character took place on Frigate Orpheon, which seemed to be among the favorite pick of stages this tournament. Anyways, once again it was close but this time he came out on top. As for my counterpick stage, I chose FD hoping that a plain flat stage would help me get this match done with. Once AGAIN, a very close game that came down to the wire. Yup, I got fsmashed into the losers bracket by a Kirby with "Sally" floating about its head. [johns] I think a big factor in this loss was the fact that I was getting pretty greedy with edgeguarding, jumping WAAAAAY out there hoping to get a bair or a spike. A few times it did work but for the most part, it wasn't worth it and I should've just fought from the stage. I mean, IT'S KIRBY. HE HAS MORE JUMPS THAN YOU, BraD. JUST WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK TO THE STAGE, THEN RESUME RAEP. Why I played the way I did in those games, I will never know. I just hope I can use this hindsight insight to not do this again, ESPECIALLY IN A TOURNAMENT. FACK.[/johns]
My third match might have been a Marth ditto but I can't quite remember. Not much to say about this game. It would've been 2-3stocks except for a suicide at the beginning of the first game. Haha, from that suicide to near the end of the game, my opponent got NO hits on me. I was like "Haha dang, I know of at least 3 people watching this game that could basically do the same to me, XD." So in short, Marths, raep, Wolf, ToonLink, raep, fin.
My fourth match was against a Samus. I thought this guy was the decent Samus I watched earlier in the tournament. I was pretty hard on him but he managed to get one stock off of me, I think. And so we head to Green Hill Zone for a game of Wolf/Lucas. This game was actually pretty close. And then it happened. Near the end, he was trying to set up a cheap backthrow-off-the-walkoff-stage ***gotry so I kept lasering him. He was pretty close to the side of the stage and so when he tried to absorb my lasers, he got a running BOOT to tha FACE, lol dash attack. Match over, lmao. Funny thing is that right as it happened, someone in the background was saying, "Dude, this is SUCH a bad stage for Wolf...ohaha, he won anyways." Lolowned.
Manny was my opponent in the losers bracket semifinals. Seeing as he was the runner-up at AKGL, I didn't really expect much out of this match. However, that was when he was using Snake. I know he might have only been using Snake because it was Derek but I chose to conveniently disregard that logic, =D. He was using Falco and so I figured that if I could avoid the chaingrab, I might stand a chance. ANYWAYS, W. Marth vs Falco, GOGOGO. Err. Yeaaah, I
almost got 2 stocks off of him, =3. And I didn't really do a good job at avoiding the chaingrab when he actually put it to use. Anyways, for the second game, I sent out Wolf against his C. Falcon. I picked Pokemon Stadium just for old times sake. Yeah, my Wolf didn't do too hot against C. Falcon. I got 'Battlefield'd' twice and combo'd all over the place. I can't really remember if it was a 3stock or not but it doesn't really matter now. It was a fun tournament and it was a blast making it that far. Technically, I was in the 5th/6th place spot but I'll just say 5th because I'm positive that I could beat that Ike.
So ahead of me, as you all know by now, was "Sally" (

Anyways, fun tournament, sad that I can't make it to the Oct. 14th smash but White Marth will be around in the near future to **** once again.
