M2K: Doing work per usual. I didn't bother you at all this time around just because I had a lot of people to float around to, but maybe another time. I feel like there's a lot to learn from getting wrecked. I took a solid stock off you in doubles, more or less all my own, so I'll take it for what it's worth. The Sheik ditto is painful.
Abate: Good lord. So much unexpected hype. Dat Weegee. I am very glad I didn't get the pleasure of being stomped by you in pools or anything. You were on fire. Keep it up, man.
Cactuar: Should have played you. I had a chance at one point, but forget what I did instead. Something that was a waste of time. I need more practice against more good Foxes. Good work, though.
VaNz: A good car ride up, learned a lot of smash/league/stuff information! Per usual, of course. You seemed pretty happy with doubles, didn't catch much of how singles went near the end because I was doing AB ****, but it looks like you put in work. Teemooooooo.
PGH Carroll: What is with these high Carroll placings? You are becoming good at this game or SOMETHING. I'm totally confused. Not really, though. You put in an amazing amount of work. A very well run tourney, as well, despite nuisances here and there with time issues. For what it was, it was a good time. As it always is with PA. :D
TheLake: Laaaaaaaaaaaake. So happy I got to see you again. It's been FAR too long. And by that I mean every single
day I don't have a dose of Aaron in my life, it just grows and festers into a great need. GOOD **** in doubles, again. I'm so dumb for not checking my Yugioh tin for actual Yugioh cards before I left. SUPER SALTY that we didn't have time to play Mario Party 3 (THE BEST MARIO PARTY GAME IN THE SERIES, IN CASE A DIFFERENT DUMB SHEIK MAIN HAPPENS TO SKIM THIS.) but I'm sure the time will come! It certainly will. Just a massive PAfest involving all kinds of things that are ridiculous and measure up to typically PA standards. Love ya, Lake. Always will. So good to see you again, glad we got to play RANDOM LOW TIER FRIENDLIES and the fun absolutely never ends with you. <:
Green Ranger: Putting in an excessive amount of work. Wish I could have awoken this in you for doubles.

But like you said, DK bein' a big ol' target does hinder things a bit. Still, you're incredibly smart. For what you accomplish with.. ****in' Donkey Kong, you do very well. A handful of upsets lay in your path, by the looks of things. Very good stuff. Kick ***, man. Glad I got to meet you before, you're a super cool dude. Keep it up, and be the kong.
Hanky Panky: Glad I got to get a single game in with you. Would have preferred more, and I definitely rushed the game we did play. I would normally have been way more patient a stock or two in after seeing how well you force trades to always work out so badly for me. I was about to head into the grand finals for amateur and kind of rushed our game, probably explaining why I was so mindblown by your ability to just constantly trade and make me look hella dumb. xD But hopefully, next time I catch you, we'll play a bit more. Peach experience is a good thing to have as far as I'm concerned.
Umbra: 9th? Wow. I don't feel as bad about losing to you. I was kind of bothered because the match broke down so.. simply. I got really upset early on by down smash. Like.. it was beating me. I was losing straight up to down smash, and I didn't feel like anything was making a significant impact other than that. Then it just.. kept happening. It was so frustrating, and I eventually lost control and threw game 2 stupidly hard. I hate that. You mentally destroyed me and I absolutely hate it. Good placing, though.
abu: I would have been down to play friendlies or even money match you if you hadn't been so intent on trolling me as hard as you could. Like, I'm not up for consistently arguing that you didn't come close to beating me with your Marth at all, but lording it over me that you 'won with Marth' as if it actually happened did nothing but bother the hell out of me. I'm aware at this point that you don't care and you think I'm a ****ty player. What I don't get is why you have such an intent to make me hate you, now that I've done something and you're more in the mood to twist things than just be straight up about it. But I get it, you're trolling me. Hopefully I'll see you again sometime, and we'll play friendlies or whatever. Maybe one day you can clean up the money match that you 'handicapped' yourself out of. I shook your hand out of courtesy and I respect you as a [better] player, but I'm not in the mood to associate with someone who is solely out to make my experience less than enjoyable.
Taki: DODGED A BULLET AGAIN. ****in' Matrix up in this ****.
Juggleguy: I said you were getting a paragraph, and honestly, you are. The night before this tournament is probably the biggest reason that I hated this tournament. I don't know how to describe you as a player anymore, after playing you so much that night.. it was infinitely frustrating. You had solid tech skill in necessary Falcon fashion, but the thing that endlessly bothered me and made me question myself the whole night was just.. the way you started everything. Every single thing you started with felt like a recycled reaction to me doign the same things. I could never break an opening into you, and every time I tried something, it felt like the way you started a combo was absolutely effortless, even if it led into a series of really high-speed tech skill combos. Maybe it's just the way I always lose to Falcons.. Falcons make me feel so stupid when I lose. I get read at every turn, and it makes me feel like nothing but a predictable player. You beat me consistently, and I think I had one fluke game on Fountain that was pure abuse of the stage.. but it left me feeling really awful as a player, no lie. I couldn't shake it for the rest of the night, and I didn't know whether to attribute it to your skill as a player or my predictability as a player.. I picked the latter. I just couldn't shake the feeling that I could never improve and everything I was doing was hopeless and being read by a completely superior player. I spent the rest of the tournament trying to shake the feeling that I was getting anywhere positive.. then I got completely defeated by you in teams. Again. The second or third time I've met you in teams, and I absolutely lose control to you. Pretty sure you handled all of my stocks by yourself because I couldn't approach you at all. I give some credit to Falcon's control through speed... but you spent so much of the time just flat out reading me and being better.. it was an incredibly frustrating thing to deal with, and I never did end up doing it. I just conceded that I'm worse than you, and that everything I was doing was just predictable. It doesn't take any credit away from you being able to read and predict, two things I think you do amazingly well.. it was just frustrating to feel helplessly predictable. I've never been so mentally shut down by someone before..
All of that being said? It was fun playing you. I needed a humbling experience to show myself that my ability to read is certainly surpassed... by leaps and bounds. You were a good gauge of how much I need to improve to be able to really do anything. And the ride up to PA was fun. I have never heard 'grimy' used as an adjective in so many consecutive sentences before. Also from what I remembered, everyone ever got bodied. All the time. lol
[holy **** I typed a lot. but yeah.]
Pat: gay.
Nakamaru: My man! <: DOIN WORK IN DUBS. And then doin' work on me with Lokii's deck. D; Oh well. You were pretty chill, and we still have very fateful Link dittos to take care of, bro. Never forget!
SilentSwag: You're still 12 in my heart, Johnny.
KD Chad: GGs in pools. I assure you that nothing you did had an influence on me. I would have finished the up-b onto the platform (maybe not even onto the platform, judging the distance I was up-bing from; I was holding back on my controller in expectance of a ledgehop bair to put me back offstage) and you had the upper edge imo. It was a clutch *** set, but I was already kind of in a bad mood from the general experience of doubles + friendlies I was playing + losing to Umbra in a way I did not approve of. But I do believe I got outplayed in general. You made smart choices all throughout our set, and I got reckless at times that Sheik can't afford to do against Fox. I would love to play you again sometime, I felt on pretty equal footing with you most of the time.. I just couldn't pull it out. But no, don't take the first game into account of how I was playing. Also ggs in doubles. You kept a solid Fox throughout this tournament.
Sweet: Get that Zelda **** out of her. AND THE FALCO INSULT. HOW DARE YOU. Gimped for life.
S1: Don't give me fluke wins like that, even in a friendly.
Kitty: Less gay than Pat, still gets ***** in Ganon dittos.
Dempt: u wot m8. Losing to S1.. oh dear. That would be good motivation to quit playing for a while.
Skyson: Is this where I deserve to be? I guess it is. All that this looks like to me is 'best of the worst' and that's how I felt at this. I got rolled in multiple friendlies. I couldn't clutch in a single pools match and dropped games that I honestly shouldn't have. Then I skated through amateur bracket and barely won against an opponent that SD'd consistently... I really don't think I'm any good at this game sometimes. For one, I need to quit playing doubles. I think I'm going to reject any offers to play doubles from now on. I'm bad enough at singles, and the way I split focus and don't pay attention when necessary makes me a really ****ty doubles player. It's a second waste of money on top of the money I already waste entering tournaments with no result. But as I've already said.. I do it for the experience. For the fun of the community because I love PA and will always go to see PA people. But.. I don't know how I feel about playing right now. I'll never be happy with myself, but I guess I'll take home the fact that this is the first time I've gotten first place in anything Melee related.. oh well.
Achilles: Too appropriate of a tag. That achilles' heel.. clean it up. If you slow your pace down to where you don't make a technical mistake to cause an SD, you'll be deadly. You have so much precision in your techskill, it's scary. Nothing you do ever looks like a wasted tech or wrong move. Some slight technical errors that I think just stemmed from pressure (not my place to say, but some things you did to me in Winners' Finals you couldn't pull off on me in Grand Finals, idk what to attribute it to and I don't want to be a **** for saying 'don't crack under pressure') but overall you were clean in your execution. I could never beat you head on and had to resort to staying back and making appropriate reads, and that's where I think I beat you? You beat me clean in head-to-head clashes and I couldn't muscle past you, so I had to bait you into approaching most of the time. Very good sets, though, you kept it close pretty much every time unless I could get some clutch gimps. You're definitely a promising player though.. I wouldn't be surprised to see you place high in the future. Just clean up that Achilles' heel.
slarti: Dunno what to say. You did a lot of what I tried to do to Achilles' and muscle past him with what normally works on Fox. I think you just got read more than you were willing to stop and read. Overly aggressive Fox, too stronk. Anyway, I think you're better than this too, but I guess we both have the same issues? Oh well. Maybe next time!
Xzax: GGs. It became apparent after a while that you were moreso fed information about the ditto rather than having practical experience.. but I didn't realize you were a Brawl player going into Melee. Or.. something like that? Anyway, for someone who was just going off the fly, you did very well. I expected a lot less at the start, and had to pick it up. Good work.
garzel: Holy **** I don't remember playing you. I am a horrible person. I knew that I didn't remember my first AM match very well.. sorry about that! GGs, I think I just rushed through it and was salty about not making the pro bracket. No offense to you.
LvL 9 luigi: Good ****.
Jbro: Good games in pools, good friendlies. I dunno what else to do, Sheik is always my go-to and she does work for me. I'm surprised you didn't pull out das Ganon on me. He was a monster last I remember. Glad we got to play a bit more. Dat beard.
B.W.C. <3: <: YOU DIDN'T GIVE LVL 9 LUIGI THE CORRINNE SPECIAL. MAJOR DISAPPOINT.
hari: :D Hariiiii. Oh man I said your name wrong so many times, I am a horrible person. I couldn't get myself to say it correctly for the life of me. :S No hate. But look at dis 9th place! You whaaaaat. Girl, that Pit. Too strong. xD It was good to see you again, with the... one friendly we played. xD IKE DEMOLISHED ICS. :S Hopefully I'll get to see you again. Also, double hugs too strong. <3
Lokii: OH MY GOD LOKII. ALL OF THE LOVE. I can't figure out why we aren't the bestest of friends. The Diana/Leona epicness, the Yugioh stuff (HOW DID I NOT LOOK IN MY TIN TO MAKE SURE MY DECK WAS THERE? I dumb.) and the Brawl and the "HOW DO I SHEIK?" featuring epic yelling at how to down throw -> x -> y -> z -> fair. THAT'S SHEIK. do that. Anyway, it was absolutely wonderful seeing you and spending a ridiculous amount of time on the topics of Brawl/Melee/YGO/LoL/graphix. :D Hopefully more events like this pop up, and I've started playing Leona again so we can share quote spamming while we play. <: But such a good time. Very much so. <3 Do more league stuff.
Jiffy: CANTON. You wrecked me in our friendlies. D: I remember when I used to go even or I would even beat you. That Jiffy rage mode.
aaaaaand that's all.
All of this being said, I am definitely declining future offers to enter doubles. I'm no good at Melee, let alone doubles. lol
