Shouts to everyone who came out for the first time, and to everyone who shared their knowledge and experiences with them. My only regret from tournaments is that there's just never enough time to play with everyone. Whether I win or lose, and whether I play like **** or bring the **** train, it's always my favourite to meet new people and see the different styles they bring to the table.
Jakeyjake: PM will have its time, it just wont be at the same time as other games
In the future I think the best way to involve PM at brawl events is just to have one or two setups for people to try out during their downtime, and for any kind of bracket system to just simply have our own event for it. Thanks for trying though, the surprise early shutdown at stronghold sucked but it was getting pretty late and its hard to build exposure for a game when nobody is left at the venue. No worries. And if you feel heavy in the soul department sometimes, you should always remember to give yourself a hug because you play like a ****ing champ and its easy to forget that when you most need to.
SKidd: you're a beast dude, and your attitude got me totally stoked. Ben kept talking about how legit you are, and I am totally sold. We'll have you trollin' *****es with style in no time.
SinisterB: glad to finally meet you dude, i can tell we will have plenty of good times ahead. sick gaymez and i dig the nu-school spacies play with wolf.
Mike Li + Adam Brown: my homeys, we shall smash and smash again and again. I have much to learn from you guys and I am excited to step up my tech game to bring some new steez to the game.
Landon: GJ on getting that stream going, everything looked good and I hope you spend some time practising with the production side of it because it seemed like you guys have a lot of cool ideas and just need to iron out the kinks. ++badass points for being the loose cannon of the night.
Kantrip: I remember getting the diddy nanner treatment back in doubles in September, and I was impressed by your polish and keeping that pressure on. Great work, you are a rising star in the BC Brawl scene.
-H-: GGs today bro, good seeing you again. The top 3 is pretty hard to crack into 'round these parts, but you've got a great attitude and game for all the right reasons. I wont give up trying to get you into Project M though
NeeBee: you reminded me of what discipline looks like, your practice really shined during the matches of yours that I saw. You have some solid bread and butter MK skills to play with, and great attention to detail. I think you'll really come into your own as a player in the next little while as you start to experiment more with using different moves in different ways, hopefully you got to see enough of the other MKs to compare styles and come up with some new janks. GGs.
Fluff+SK2: You guys are pretty cool, and Fluff I enjoyed our friendlies there. I gave you a shoutout in the main thread, but this is the shoutout post, so... yeah! I hope you guys got to see a lot of new style and took home a lot of fresh ideas, and that you come back to the next tournament. Hopefully I'm living proof that not all MKs are the devil
Irisz: I was a little overconfident going into our matches, and you definitely got me good there a few times! I hope you had a great time today and got to play with a lot of people, definitely keep it up and coming out! Breez and I are leaving Abbotsford soon, so you're gonna have to bring it with that Chilliwack style to represent the valley.
Dawson: will keep you posted on what develops with PM events, and look forward to seeing your moves. GGs on winning all the things, you've got this area code on brawl lockdown.
and last but not least, my squishy awwwww shoutouts go to Mike, hopefully that little dude will read this if he lurks and if not someone who knows him can send him a link. and Kevin, who will read most of the same thing in the other thread but I dont want to leave him out.
Mike: I hope you take a tremendous amount of pride in yourself for today, I could tell you were pretty disappointed when you were leaving, but don't feel bad, whatever you do. You made a huge impact on my day, and reminded me so much of why I love video games. Don't sweat losing, you'll do plenty of it in the future, and you'll really appreciate the wins so much more when they start to stack up. It might sound funny, but losing is what drives me to play more, to see what I could have done, and then try my damnedest to come back next time and beat whatever it is that got me last time. Every match is a new class, and every new opponent is a new teacher. You took home the most important victory of all today, because you can never know just how tall a mountain is until you start to climb it. I hope you had fun today, and while I have made plenty of friends in the smash community, the next time we have a tournament I am looking forward to seeing you more than anyone else. Feel encouraged and motivated, but most importantly feel like you have a place in our community.
and a redux to my ode to Kevin:
Kevvy, I wouldve liked to played a few more with you, but I like to think you spent that time playing with the people that needed you more <3 You provide a certain kind of unconditional acceptance and love that is rare in people, and seeing it in the gaming world is especially rewarding. I think the most important part of community is being open and welcoming, and you make us all look better to newcomers. It's easy to get caught up in the winning and losing at times, but you know that it's much more than that to people who have passion and want to share it with people. You also salt about there not being enough Peach players around here, but wouldn't that mean you'd have to stop being BC's only Princess? Stay involved and keep being an inspiration, you cant change who people play, but you can definitely change the way they play.
