We had an amazing event yesterday at GFC Toys! It was the 3rd Smash 4 tournament at this venue and we had an awesome turnout of 45 in just the singles bracket alone! Doubles consisted of 15 teams, and Quads had 7 teams of 4.

We had an impressive showing from Dao (1st), Bluebird (2nd), and Drain (3rd). Drain in particular, he climbed the bracket and knocked out so many heavy hitters, despite it being his first tournament!

Special thanks to @BC @ Leaf. Leaf. @ Nkguy01 Nkguy01 @ RageToast RageToast for bringing their setups. Also a big thank you to @ Leaf. Leaf. for recording matches on his TV as well as recording things that happened throughout the day with his camera.

I'm still missing a lot of characters to names, if people could just list the placing and any character I missed I would really appreciate it and i'll edit the character heads in.

General:
Any help filling in doubles and even quads is much appreciated too. Not necessarily needed but appreciated nonetheless. I can edit in anything I missed, which as you see is a fair amount.
Also the recorded matches that Leaf and I got will be uploaded to youtube in the next few days. Leaf will probably have them up before I do. I'll have the videos up on my youtube channel GFC Krebs and I will share these videos in this thread, and with one massive post in the Facebook groups "Houston Smash 4" and "GFC Smash".

Shoutouts coming soon. Thanks to everyone for making this the funnest event I have ever had the pleasure to host!

Bluebird doesn't use Mac at all, and I did use Mac to win several games. Shoutouts later if I feel like it. This tournament was so much fun.

Characters that I know:

BeRandon used Mario
Kirby needs Shiek added to his name (only Singles)
I think Furbs used Yoshi
Boy used Bowser and Rob
Pretty sure RT used Lucario


Shoutouts:

Dao - What a monster. Good stuff winning this, enjoy that PR!

Bluebird - You were suppose to be the hero, but it's okay. If the hero doesn't have some sort of trials to get to where he needs to be, it wouldn't be an interesting story.

Drain - Who is this man? Good stuff.

Nidak - Okay **** DIDDY. I'm not mad. And for real,GGs. That set was actually pretty fun, I just wanna learn that MU. But with you having a good player that uses the same character as I do, there is a pretty good chance you're gonna have me on lock forever.

BC - We need to actually play each other at some point. We've been in the same place like 5 times and it's never happened.

BeRandon - GGs in our set, balls of steel CPing me on random. It worked out for you in the end. I need a rematch one day to run it back or something. pls.

ToT - Thanks for the warmups at this tournament. Shame we didn't play anymore throughout the day.

Krebs - Good job on hosting a mostly-successful, larger-than-expected tournament. A few bumps in the road at the start and end of the day, but everything came out really well. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one of these in the series! And thanks for the 4v4 teaming too. We almost had something really good going!

Leaf - Shoutouts to yourself aren't legit, stop that. And stop getting exposed so hard.

Weegee - I will always play you on FD if you want. Our set was super fun. And thanks for joining up on the 4v4 team. Sorry for essentially targeting you that one game, but I wasn't the only one of our team doing it iirc.

Furbs - FURBS

Kira - Game 2 of our money match was some seriously jank stuff with your two suicides, there is no reason I should have won that. I backed out of the double or nothing, but I won't be against doing another one at the next tournament!

Kirby - You don't even check smashboards anyway lol

RT - :marth: :4marth: :marthmelee:


Shoutouts also to the venue for being pretty cool, especially about being open late.
And to everyone who was in that video I made, thanks so much for helping out.
And to anyone I missed, I'm REALLY bad with names and remembering smaller details of what happened.

What a blast. GFC was a lot of fun. I got super lucky to make it as far as I did, but i'll take it.

Bluebird - Was a big surprise to see you there. Glad you made it out in time. After the match you played in double with my friends they quickly realized how hard luigi actually is. (They didn't believe me at first).

Krebs - COUNTER! =.=

Kira - That match on Kongo Jungle.... haha. Now i'm afraid everyones gonna ban it against me.

Kadin - Good seeing you again. Glad you can you make it to all these tournaments. Hope that salt tastes good.

BC - I'll be honest i'm very scared to face villager 1 v 1. I'm thankful that didn't happen

Kirby - That match we had man... should've been all yours. I'm sure if we face again you'll take it

I definitely have a long way to go before I can consider myself to be really good. My nerves get to me when it comes down to the wire especially. But practice practice practice I suppose. Till next time.

Tournament was awesome but i was drained by the end of the day. Good thing i energized myself with Ceaser's pizza lol

Shoutouts to Bc for mainin dat villager.

Drain for doing so well at what I heard was his first tourney

nidak's diddy kong so good

Dao just takin it with diddy as well omg

Both Bluebird and the tink player were just way too good in dubz. Down throw to down b is a thing... Why. I had never faced either character. Fun times

And Pachi for carrying us in 4v 4


Hope to improve next time. I panic when i'm down a stock and it's one of the things i need to work on :p. Also, Yoshi Guy.

It's actually very crucial that I know who Fritz or Dai used so that I can know where to start exporting sets.

I was stupid and should have cut and restarted the video right before tournament sets started. But at least I found where it ended. I'll just work backwards.

And yes, this means sets are being uploaded starting tonight! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYyTyAv4TGQSzxJ8bMI0ow

Yeah thanks again so much leaf. I know it'll take a while to separate and edit the footage into matches, but take your time. I won't have my footage up in full until Wednesday or Thursday.

That's probably when mine will happen, honestly. I'm not gonna be able to get it all up tonight.

I was kinda lazy and got sucked into something else. But my quality gonna suck anyway with all the dropped frames. ;w;

When I fought Fritz he was using Captain falcon. Not sure if he used it the whole tournament though.

First of all, shout out to my boy Drain for an excellent performance at his first smash
tournament ever! See you in Grand Finals next time

Krebs - Thanks for hosting man, it's important to host a lot of tournaments to keep the scene fresh. Way to go with 45 entrants at a local!!

Gamma - You played well and deserved to win, keep up the good play! P.S. Don't ever expect me not to ban Kongo Jungle in the future haha

Leaf - It was jank, but hey I put in the missed inputs so they were totally my own errors. Definitely looking forward to playing you again in the future

Kadin - Crazy we both live in the same area, let's get some practice man!

Overall, I was pretty disappointed in my tournament performance. I felt like I made a lot of uncharacteristic basic mistakes I don't normally make. Maybe it was the school finals stress or something else. Regardless, I plan on winning the next tournament I attend so watch out.

Also I'd like to get practice in with some of you guys over the break, contact me if you're interested.

To sum it up, Kirah sucks. Also, just saying, Artificial Intelligence unofficial first place in 4v4s... even if we never used a lvl9 computer...

Shoutout to my man Drain for absolutely tearing it up in his first tournament ever. Congrats on being top dawg in our crew over kirah now.... So much KO hype..

Highlights from my trash talking:
Kira vs Fritz(I think?)
"get egged man, get egged"
"Looks like those eggs are scrambled now, bro"

"Yo yoshi, baby mario called, he wants his babysitter back"

"Don't you know dinosaurs are extinct?"

Gamma vs NK
"Wii fit trainer can never beat Donkey Kong, he is already in good shape."


Also:
Whoa 45 entrants?! This is what i like to see. Good job, man!

Alex, its your turn to step it up!!
