[Zephynazo]

That was old ****, u try and take "care" of the beast from Sweden know, then talk =P

EDIT: Gratz to Armada and Aniolas! ****, u guys ****!

 

[Ryuker]

Just got back with the train. Had a lot of fun this tourney. I'll write a short write up of how I think the event went later but I'm happy it went a lot better then last year ^^.

I wanna apologise for increasing the time singles took. It's probably my fault cause there were so many matches in losers that wanted to be recorded. Considering I had only 1 set up ( and didn't plan on recording anything my self at this tourney before I went to epita) you can imagine the tourney runs late because of this.

But while the tourney had to go on I also had to consider that all the matches that I recorded were the top of each of there country's and considering those face offs are very rare these days I recorded most of them.

As far as I'm concerned though this was the last time that I record a big event like this with only 1 set up.

Now I have lot's of vids to cut, encode and I'm starting a big time consuming group project at school as well.
So AJP please contact me on msn cause I gotta find a fast way to get these vids out ^^.

PS: As a special treat I tried recording the crowd reactions as seperate files this time. Dunno yet how I'm gonna sync them with the vids but I'll try later ^^. If anyone wants to take a stab at that though I'll upload the complete folder on filefront soon ^^.

So time for a shower and food now ^^.

 

[Aldwyn McCloud]

a lot of people are missing in the results.. what happened to Remen, CalleW, JD, Cash mooney, etc.?

 

[Vegard]

calle W attended?

 

[Ryuker]

Nope he didn't.


Armada hardly lost set in NTSC last night btw ^^. Lost track of how long his winningstreak was XD.

 

[strawhats]

Armada is like the mango of Europe. Using a floaty to **** everyone including the former best player in Europe.

 

[Tonb3rry]

Armada is like the mango of Europe. Using a floaty to **** everyone including the former best player in Europe.

Yeah, but Armada's character has no rest, therefore he's using the good old way of winning: by using comboes and mindgames.

a lot of people are missing in the results.. what happened to Remen, CalleW, JD, Cash mooney, etc.?

Thanks. I know he lost against Porc, but I wrote wrong nick, lol =p

 

[Vegard]

Mango isn't dependent in puff's rest at all to win

 

[JesiahTEG]

[Slhoka]

I don't even how you can apologize for recording better videos than we could have had. You really helped us, even though everyone wanted to play on this TV. I'm really thanksful toward you and I can't understand how you can think you should apologize.

I'll post my point of view about this tournament as well as shoutouts when I'll have time (that is to say when I won't have anyone at my place anymore =p ).

 

[wisl]

[Qlex]

He sure is! He made some crazy results considering he hadn't been playing smash for a long time at the moment.

 

[Ryuker]

Right so first the audio of the crowd reactions just to tease you guys a bit ^^:

I don't even how you can apologize for recording better videos than we could have had. You really helped us, even though everyone wanted to play on this TV. I'm really thanksful toward you and I can't understand how you can think you should apologize.

Thanks Slhoka. I really appreciate that ^^

 

[Infernum]

[Calle W]

I played Ness and didn't make it through pools.

 

[Aldwyn McCloud]

I played Ness and didn't make it through pools.

Thx Ryuker for this (and for the videos)

if I had done like that, I'd have taken SMACK. I just had too much mercy.

Lol, teh_spamerer surely knows his playstyle well, waiting=win for him, I wonder who would win of him and Hiko ...(Is plainkk playing like that in SSBM too?)

EDIT: Infernum- you know that´s the strategy everyone likes too use against puff for a reason, it counters the way alot of puffplayers play which is waiting for restoppoturnity

 

[wisl]

thanks infernum.

anybody knows the teams top 4 characters?

 

[Slhoka]

Teams:
1. Armada (Peach/Fox) & Aniolas (Sheik)
2. Strawhat (Jigglypuff) & Over (Sheik)
3. Amsah & Adam (Double Sheik)
4. Ice (Falcon/Sheik) & Remen (Fox)

 

[wisl]

cheers slhoka. the statistics thank you. sheik thanks you, new teams leading char.

 

[Ryuker]

Amsah adam were more fox/sheik then sheik sheik

 

[Slhoka]

Amsah adam were more fox/sheik then sheik sheik

Oh, my bad.

By the way, here's a pack of pictures taken by CM during the tournament. Those are heavy files (4-5 Mos/picture), but I think those are very good pictures =)

Edit : oh crap, I forgot that the upload isn't over yet. I'll add the link later.

Here it is : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3I6LML3S

As for the results thread, I'll post it as soon as the complete results will be on All is Brawl.

 

[Nihonjin]

Wow, good job armada

I wonder if amsah starts practicing again o_0

You can bet your life I will. Not quitting while I'm behind >:3

Aww, Amsah lost.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. ^_^

 

[soap]

r u rusty amsah? or was armada just playing lights out?

he didn't lose a single match... that's pretty ridiculous

 

[strawhats]

Don't worry amsah m2k also knows how it feels to be beaten and not be called the best anymore.

Armada to you is like mango to m2k

 

[soap]

Don't worry amsah m2k also knows how it feels to be beaten and not be called the best anymore

except amsah is not making huge character johns lolol

 

[strawhats]

can't argue w/. u there

 

[Ryuker]

except amsah is not making huge character johns lolol

Oh isn't he? >.>

 

[soap]

i was just about to say that.

give the johns some time to flesh out

 

[wisl]

Amsah adam were more fox/sheik then sheik sheik

fixed

now it's a tie between sheik and fox in the stats

 

[Catharsis]

[strawhats]

If I may be so bold to make an analogy b/w. amsah and armada and tennis. Armada and mango are the new kings of Europe and U.S. (Raphael nadal) while m2k and Amsah are the old kings (roger federer).

 

[Ryuker]

Did anyone find a samsung cellphone charger? That's probably mine ..

 

[pheX]

Wooow Armada really is a beast. Saw him playing @ smack and I was just like WTF.
Congrats to the german players, especially makkura for making 9th in teams. Good job!

I might as well make an analogy with death note then..

The main character outwits his smart rival only to be screwed by a young kid some years later.

Near > Light > L

Armada > Amsah > Ek

 

[Neasala]

Hey, congratz Armada, looking forward to play against u again. :D
