I will post shoutouts later, posting to subscribe.

Having two sets of doubles running at the same time = not a good thing. And a Random Character tournament would be hilariously fun.

O.o No...the thing is...the top 10 doesn't surprise me that Meta is gone. I'm REALLY not surprised. It's still other top/high tier characters. It's like...if you take Fox out of Melee, you'll get more variety in the top 10. Why? 'cuz as broken as Marth is...he's definitely not as annoying as Fox. (even though they are equally broken.) You still have Snake/Diddy/G&W in there.(How many of THOSE did I see?) That didn't surprise me. Even the Sonic mains don't surprise me.

All of the Meta Mains still made top 15. (I know you were talking about variety, but it's not surprising)

DOJO got 4th

light and romeo got 13th

yea without meta they aint so tough. plus it allows characters like sonic and whatever to place where they would NORMALLY had meta ben banned. of course diddy/gw/snake/falco/ddd will place high but after that you see some GOOD variety

Jerm is TX's hero of time.

So Jerm, ya got in a FF dair on meh in teams, as well as some well-placed fsmashes after my partner died (...er, after I killed him lol. xD we needz moar team practice). From solely these happenings, if you think that your :link2: is better than mine (like apparently GHNeko does...), MM me pl0x. Next PnT I go to will be in June, so that's where you'll find meh. :)

Edit: You're EASILY the best TL in TX though, Jerm. :D Shoutouts soon.

O.o Not so tough? Seems to me that making top 15 out of a tournament that size means they still are good. I dare say that the one who used SHEIK and got top 15 is plenty tough. Give them a few more weeks with those characters at regular play and they'd be right back to where they were. (I think I said this in another thread. >_>) They're still tough customers from what I can see, and thinking their fangs are gone 'cuz they have no meta might just prove to be many players' undoing.


Granted- You have your data that you're gathering. ^_^ I'm really just putting a little criticism in there. No offense meant.

no no. none taken. im keeping track of no meta data in several states right now. its not ALL about where the meta players place. its about how varied the results become and why. its interesting

FYI, TL has NOTHING to do with being the Hero of Time. Ya shoulda clarified with...iono...Hero of Winds? :confused: Triforce Hero, maybe?...nah, he'd have to use sheik and ganon as well (lolganon).

He has an INSANELY good TL, though, and a nice link. I've only played it once by itself and I was groggy (lolgroggyjohns), but he gave me more trouble than any other link main/alt that I've played...which I've all 2/3-stocked. xD

Edit:

Aaaahhh, Santi. Somehow 4got about him xD. But still. Kinda.

And yeah, I agree; a :link2: ditto (my main vs your alt) won't prove who is the better player, nor will a :toonlink: ditto (your main), or a :kirby2: ditto (my alt). Ah well...looks like we'll have to resort to :falcon: dittos!
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

?!?!?!?!?!?!

its the truth, my boy
wait you got massively outplaced by one and tied with the others right?

i'm just confused about what you're saying when you say 'not so tough' its as if you're like FINALLY WE GOT THEM but its not like you're outplacing them lol

Then what is Jerm supposed to be? D:
I can just be jerm.. a TL representative. I just like to show people that TL shouldnt be underestimated.

Oh, and about the MK's this didnt help prove much. All the MK mains still did well. Although I dont know if Dphat is considered an MK main. I think he uses his marth and MK equally.. but iunno. I would have much rather fought dojo's MK than kirby. All that happened was that they got a slight handicap, and they weren't able to place as well.

dingding you and jerm play sooo differently. jerm brings a TL style to link why your link has a link style. you're both good, and i was very impressed with our matches yesterday. i knew they would be tough but i thought i could pull it of. kudos to you.

more shout outs later.

The mk's didn't place much worse if any without the character they actually practice with. You're happy with the variety? Practically all of the top 8 is either diddy or game and watch. Honestly this tournament looks about the same as all the other ones. Same people are placing relatively equal and same character diversity in the top places.

The MetaKnight mains placed high with other characters?

This only confims that skill is the predominate factor in winning a tournament.

yeah i ALWAYS see 2 sonics in top 10

get out of here your TRASH
Actually, most of the normal HOBO's, 3000 places top 10. 9th at 14 I believe, 5th at hobo 15. Espy always places well. MK didnt have much to do with it.

Also, gnes, the reason seth quit falco is because he doesnt find him fun and hates his campy style.

Edit: RT, I didnt have a bad day. I feel that I'm about equal in skill with UTD ZAC, so that could have went either way. And dojo is a better player. I actually played my normal self.. winning all 3 of my money matches.

I dunno, you seemed kind of sad when I saw you. But it doesn't matter, your Link is ****.

I still won't forgive you for the other day though, lol. I love you, but sometimes...I want to smack you upside the head. :p

bear used snake, DDD, diddy, marth in teams and I used, ROB, G&W
and in low tiers bear used Falcon, Jiggs, Mario and I used, PT, Jiggs, Gannon


@xyro by the way i would have had a much better time of it vs dojo and 3000 if i had used ROB or g&w instead of staying only sheik i was just doing it to prove a point =p don't count me out.

also epic fun tourney good **** xyro

I may post shout outs later this tourney was so fun
