(characters played would be appreciated guys)

Sushi > Asian boy with a sword

 

[OverLade]

Good sheee kadaj. Were any vids of this recorded?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Yeah. I recorded some. GF's was split, I forgot to reflect that in the OP. Fix'd.

 

[p.i.]

TheGODeht: Good games, I wish I didn't try to go Pika against you D: Also your Jiggs is surprisingly good.

Stockfield: lol

ZeldaRox: Since we live so close by, do you want to play sometime this week?

LDPK: I want to play you more so we can both get better. I know I have a lot to learn from you, and I think you can learn some things from me too (much respect, not trying to be cocky). Those games with ZR were pretty hilarious lol

Fyre: Good games, I didn't know Pit's arrows could be that good lol.

Lucas players: IMHO you should be nicer to your teammates. It is hard to help you recover. Half the time your teammate tries to help you and YOU are the ones who aren't paying attention, so don't give them all the blame. imad lol. Besides that, well done in singles, people better not sleep on Lucas.

Arc: You're a good teammate. We just stayed apart and I didn't have to think about you or the person you were fighting at all. That's the way I like it lol.

Cake: You're a good teammate too. We teamed together two separate times for some reason lol. I felt bad because you spent so much time sitting around and watching though. You should speak up if you want to play.

Dr. Yogi & Blue Shoes: Funniest 2v2s ever. lol

Omni: GGs, and thanks for the advice in teams. I'd like to play you more.

Kadaj: Good games in teams.

Stingers: Good games, wait you weren't there.

DJ: Good games, I had fun being a noob in Melee lol.

I know there's more people I'm forgetting, sorry.

ZR just hold the next one on the 27th. Thanksgiving isn't even a holiday in the rest of the world.

 

[_Kadaj_]

Even though we split we played out GF's

We did Falco vs Snake though.

 

[stingers]

Stingers: Good games, wait you weren't there.

haha. wish i could've made it.
very cool seeing two lucases in the top 8 though =] good stuff guys

 

[ZeldaRox!]

ZeldaRox: Since we live so close by, do you want to play sometime this week?

I already answered this question before you asked. Read my shoutouts in the tourney thread =).

 

[Kole]

lucas sucks

 

[ZeldaRox!]

Sushi > Asian boy with a sword

samurai?

10char

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Welp welp. I didn't even team with a Pika this time! Yeah, we know that there's some times where we miss opportunities and sometimes you miss them. It's really about getting the practice and synergy where you both know where it will work.

 

[Stockfield]

I think he was talking about Mekos only.

 

[p.i.]

I'm not trying to call anyone out. I just don't like seeing good players get ragged on, especially when they aren't even regular teammates. Both players need to learn a lot about each other's play styles, and you can't expect that your first (or even second, or third) time teaming.

It's okay to give advice. The important part is to be nice to your teammate and stay positive with them, no matter who messed up or how badly. Especially in friendlies.

 

[~Nasty~]

just came in to LOL. look at this region lose to Lucas. Good **** to my boys Mekos and rPSI!!

[DtJ SmithZzz]

wow NC.
Wow.
Lucas placing?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

STFU Smith. U mad?

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

no, I love you for it <3

 

[Shady Penguin]

I did not lose to Lucas at this.

/get at me and my Captain Falcon

 

[rPSIvysaur]

I had a migrain. /johns

 

[I am Seth]

Even though we split we played out GF's

We did Falco vs Snake though.

so it doesn't even matter. thanks for sharing.

and I'll beat you with lucas smith.

 

[Stockfield]

Yeah after a split I wouldn't play 100% either.

Good stuff to Sushi for winning winners like always and Kadaj for bringing it back from Losers though.

 

[_Kadaj_]

It's not about the money (obv. there isn't much of it)

It's about pride

 

[rPSIvysaur]

If that's the case, I'm going to say Sushi won and you need to beat Sushi and prove to everyone that you can.

 

[_Kadaj_]

How does that make sense If I beat him in Grand finals both sets?......

Don't really see where that logic comes from since I did indeed win O_0

 

[rPSIvysaur]

You split tho lmao

I don't get what exactly your trying to say, even though we split we ALWAYS play out GF's for the actual place of 1st and 2nd

Just want a little clarification on what you mean lol

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Sorry I didn't take the set seriously since you guys played Snake and Falco. lol

 

[_Kadaj_]

Snake is his secondary (he won most of his matches in tourney using snake) he even won WF's going all snake

I used one of my secondaries to win GF's

 

[stingers]

if its really about pride it should be a main match shouldnt it?

 

[_Kadaj_]

He said he wanted to try something different.

If it makes you feel any better we played serious matches of Marth vs MK right after GF's on a different TV and I won those too...

 

[Uncle]

I've never been a fan of splitting. The winner should always take his rightful prize, imo.

 

[_Kadaj_]

It's mine and his choice to spilt, playing our matches out anyway is what we always do.

I mean 15 or so dollars is not a big difference to me or him, it's about the exp. from playing

 

[I am Seth]

it's about nc>kadaj until stingers can beat you with rob.

and if it's about "pride" then it should be meta v marth straight up and be a first and second place finisher.

and matches after tourney don't matter. you know that.

JUST ADMIT SUSHI IS BETTER KADAJ!!!!

lol

and scrubby lucas main's mekos is better than all of you. and we have a **** good one in rocket so **** you.

 

[Stockfield]

You guys lol

 

[Jon?]

Why does the "note" say that Kadaj won technically but the bracket Sushi won? He's preeettyy guuwd.

 

[_Kadaj_]

They must not have saved the bracket after the end, before I left (like 5am from the venue lol) I put the final results in as me winning. I think I exited w/o saving so the TIO autosaves like 1 step before or something

 

[rPSIvysaur]

I fixed the bracket in the OP to reflect that now.

 

[_Kadaj_]

Duke Biweeklies and more tourneys in general are like the greatest thing to happen to NC's scene.
So many people are improving, they also have the motivation to get better. I'm not talking about the better NC players either I mean everyone as a whole

 

[ZeldaRox!]

Why does the "note" say that Kadaj won technically but the bracket Sushi won? He's preeettyy guuwd.

I'm confused. I put Kadaj won on the bracket.
