did dane ever come back to that tournament today like he said he was going to? im pretty sure yesterday he said that he was going to come to todays tournament, continue singles, and give 1st-3rd place more money. im pretty sure he owes us (1st place) about $200 dollars each. or did we get conned again like last time

*shrugs* My heart goes out to you :crying:

I've still got the tio data but I'm not sure what to do with it. For starters we can at least post the doubles results once I send the data to dreamhack.

BTW: I forgot to say thanks to all y'all non SD peeps for showing. Driving around all night not knowing wth is too good! Look us up again if you're in the area.

i'll leave my shout out for later post

but look at what the smashback room ppl said about falcon
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=182495

god they were so accurate with every chars they discussed
but someone has to hit their head with a falcon punch and tell them falcon isn't horrible


edit, this is the synopsis they came out after a week's discussion

Synopsis:

There was a significant lack of discussion in this thread because there wasn't much to debate. The long and short of it is simply thus: Captain Falcon is bad. Manly, but bad.

His aerials all are great for racking damage (even the weak knee, which combos into other things), his jab gives him shine-esque interrupt ability, his u-smash does a large amount of damage, and his other smashes KO. Falcon even has a dair to knee combo on the entire cast! Since his up+b doesn't give the opponent their 2nd jump back anymore, it can be a viscious, albeit risky, edgeguarding tool

However, his aerials don't combo into one another very well due to the lack of hitstun and his smashes are very difficult to land. The knee, his only reliable kill move in the air, is difficult to land on a moving opponent. His recovery, while better than in Melee, is still easily gimped. While Falcon isn't light by any means, his weight does little to help him because of this easily gimped recovery.

Falcon is bad. Low tier easily, and takes a tremendous amount of skill to use at a high level of play. It is POSSIBLE to continually abuse what little strengths Falcon has to win a match... but it is unlikely, especially since Falcon does so poorly against the most prominent tournament characters such as Metaknight, Snake, and ROB.





sigh with this ppl will stay away from falcon even more

even tho the DaB tourney was a complete failure, it wasnt all bad. By it wasnt all bad i mean that everything outside of the tourney was good. Kickin it with some friends, brawlin, drivin around for like 4 hrs tryn to find a hotel... haha it was fun (once again not the tourney that sucked ****). than the chula vista weekly was fun too. once again friends and brawl made it a fun weekend. all in all, glad we ended up going.

IMPORTANT Please Read!

Ok, First off I want to come out and say a huge SORRY to everyone that came out to D&B and especially to the people who drove down hours to this event! Imma come out and say that this was a complete waste of time and money!!!! I want to also say that Rickety, Azn Lep, and Havok had absolutely nothing to do with this tournament so please don't go off and think that they were involved in this because they indeed weren't! Next, for those that went to the tournament could tell you that it was indeed one GREAT BIG SH*T STORM after another! A number of things went wrong one right after the other! I feel terrible for what had happened but I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for everything that happened! I blame myself for trusting Dane and for believe that he had everything squared away. You can point the finger and say it was Dane's fault, My fault, or D&B fault, but again, I take full responsibility for what happened! I hope this doesn't leave a sour taste in your mouth and make you think that SD is terrible at hosting tourneys cause we really don't. We had countless problems which ultimately made this tournament a complete failure, and for that I agologize! I hope everyone can Forgive and Forget and I sure as HELL hope you don't hold all of SD accountable for this because its not their fault.... Like I said Blame me not them!!! I hope to see all of you around at any other future tournies here in SD!

Now, Of course people are just gonna talk mad sh*t about me, dane, and everyone that was involved and I know I can't stop you guys from doing that! But people stop spreading Bull sh*t rumors that are not even remotely true! Me and Dane are not f*cking con artist or none of that sh*t and we didn't go off and split the money and leave DSF & Ajax nothing! If you even talk to DSF or Ajax or even some of the CV guys they'll tell you how F*cking bad I felt cause this all turned to SH*T and especially to all the people that drove down hours to pretty much waste there time! I sent DSF Dane's info and there in contact and yes Dane is gonna pay them! All I do for Dane is advertise the tournament for him. He tells me the sponsors and everything and all I do is post it! Now about the sponsors Dane is on ESPN RADIO and has his own show he was gonna interview the winners and they were gonna appear on Dane's show but since everything got F*ucked up that didn't end up happening! Also for those that were at LUNA GAMES know that Dane does have Red Bull connections and were a sponsor in the event and helped pay for some of the venue fees they were supposed to show up and dish out free drinks and I have no Idea where they were and why they didn't show up??? Thats how I'm associated with Dane and him taking out a percentage from the pot is his call I just do what he says cause he pays me for it.... he has a hold of the money I haven't seen a cent of it and its all making me look like Sh*t as well and like I said above, the tournament was posted under my name and my thread so I take full responsibility for it even though I had no control when everything went to Sh*t! For those of you that really know me and have chilled and hung out with me IM NOT A F*CKING CROOK or NOTHING LIKE THAT! Imma cool chill person and now cause of this going the way it did my name and everything is going to crap! This was just a series of unfortunate events that happened one right after the other!!! Im sorry for cursing so much and everything but I had to speak my mind about this and please if you don't really know what happened don't be making up some BULL SH*T! Sorry for everyone that came out and wasted their time and money and I just hope you can forgive me and hope you don't think that SD has a terrible smash scene cause we really DON'T and Again I'm really SORRY about the event and I wanna say SORRY to SD for thrashing our name..... :(

yes and he told me that they always take 40% out of the pot at his tournaments. too bad neither you advertised that for the tournament. he did it without telling anyone. in my opinion, thats deceitful

Voxx, You're so silly. Like i told you, we're not going unless...

um...

Maybe if they have a piñata. We'll go for the piñata and to say hi to other silly people.

But no participation. It's for you're own good.

So post your vote now!

I like that LHG...

probably a little too much.

Anyway, I say take that Sunday off. You were originally considering not to right? Was the con the only reason?
