I almost pulled a 3 game sweep on you Metroid but you got me in Minus
Dude you totally trolled me on Saturday
.
I know I say that every tournament I've been to was fun, but this one in particular was awesome - I got in a BUNCH of games, played more great sets, got more match-up experience, and met a ton of new people. I hope to see you guys again in the future!
Shoutouts:
Lain: We didn't get to play each other, but great job winning the tournament! MI is too good.
L-cancel: It was great to finally meet you in person after playing you in Wi-fi about two years ago haha. I can't believe that I met your friend at Northwestern... it's a small world after all.
Grimace: Great job getting third in vBrawl! Brawl- was so wacky, I'm still in disbelief that I pulled through after that 0% - death. We need to play some vBrawl friendlies, even though it won't be much of a challenge for you haha.
Ook: DK- is so crazy, but Ike- is crazier
. We need to play more friendlies next time, it was too fun playing you and your DK.
Quik: Your Wario was too good, it was a lot of fun playing you in Brawl+. I want a Ganon ditto in Melee next time we play each other =O.
Arty: You're such a troll. Gah, I'm 0-3 against your G&W+ now... too good, I need to play you more so I can even out the score.
Green Beast: Great job getting 7th! You shouldn't have to be scared of Ikes, you totally dominated me in that game
.
YoshQ: Your Luigi- is too good, I have to see your Luigi in vBrawl now haha. Fun games in minus, we have to play again sometime.
Akashi: We didn't get to color match again... even though you'll probably win anyway
. I actually had more fun than usual playing Brawl, too bad I didn't get to play any vBrawl friendlies with you
(or anyone, for that matter >.>).
Meneil: Again, we need to play friendlies... you should enter in more than just vBrawl, same to Akashi too! It was good to see you guys again, I hope to see you at the next Don't Blink!
Hunger: "Ehh, Squirtle is okay..." what bull
. It was so much fun seeing and playing you (and seeing you get wrecked by Raid shortly after
), I have to play you in vBrawl again next time. Great job coming back and beating him in Loser's Finals and winning the tournament!
JJRockets: It was good to see you again, but it's too bad we didn't get to play any friendlies
. That's my fault though, I'll be sure to play you again next time I see you.
Bo X7: Awww.... another person I didn't get to play
. It was great to see you again; we really need to play vBrawl or Brawl+ next time, it's been way too long >.>.
7F0: It's unfortunate that you gave up Singles, but it's totally understandable >.>. Would you be willing to make an exception for friendlies next time? =D
DLA: Brawl+ free-for-alls were fun, I'm surprised to hear that you don't like it though
. Oh well, it was great to see you again. I want a re-match against your MK in Brawl, last time was just embarrassing haha.
Xyless: It was so good to see you again. Your Lucas+ is so tricky, great PK Thunder combos >.>.
Geno: Wow, your Samus was quite a shock to play, I haven't played anyone who used UAir quite like that. Great set, it's unfortunate that Lylat screwed you over so many times
.
Koose: I totally lucked out with that last-second DAir spike, that set was too close. Great games, I hope to see you at the next tourney!
ORLY: Your Falcon is too good, congrats at winning the tournament! The problem with entering so many events is that you never get to see the matches that you want to see, I was pretty excited for Melee Finals >.>. Great games, thanks for those fun friendlies before we started the round robins!
Scythe: Your Fox is so ridiculous, I'm glad that 4-stock on Dreamland wasn't recorded haha. Great Link too, it was fun to play you during the round robins. Good games, I need to learn how to play the Fox match-up better haha.
Brightside: Your mindgames with Roy are too good, those matches in round robins were too fun.
Ramon: That last match at Mute City was ridiculous, I can't believe you survived past 200%! It was fun to play another Peach user, I hope to see you again next time.
Robin: It's so funny that you know Micheal Yao too haha. We should definitely Smash together, although it might be a little far for you >.>. Great games in Melee, you should definitely get back into it!
Kirk: Your Bowser is
almost as sexy as your running shorts. Great games in Brawl+ and thanks for not playing Ike dittos with me the whole time >.>.
Blind: BAir -> FSmash is so overrated
. It was fun playing friendlies with you after the tournament, I'm glad I didn't have to face you in the bracket because you probably would've destroyed me haha.
Oro: Nooooooooooooooo, you were supposed to take out Arty so I wouldn't have to play him
. I want to play you again in Brawl+, last time I played your Falcon+ you absolutely destroyed me haha.
To Kirk, Blind, and Oro: Thanks for being such amazing TOs! The event was a lot of fun and run very smoothly, I had an amazing time and appreciate your efforts to organizing this.
To everyone I mentioned and everyone I played: Great games!
Here are some photos I took during the tournament:
(bah this one came out particularly blurry)
I didn't take that many partially because I was too lazy, but also because I was too busy playing matches
