Houston Thread - No HOBOs and no WHOBOs. What do we do now??????????????????????????????????????????

[gunterrsmash01]

Pools were ran well, maybe 1 or 2 hard pools but thats how it always is.

However the bracket was dirtier than a camels rectum. I got a bye then played Dojo who also got 1st in his pool. Before I played dojo i pointed that problem out and hylian was like "Duh, a lot of first seeds are playing first seeds". So i was like.....umm ok.

 

[RT]

Ideally, all the first seeds should play the second seeds first round or first seeds get byes and second seeds play each other, but...okay.

 

[Gea]

Uhh if Hylian said that he's well aware that such stupidly defeats the point of pools. There was the same amount of first and second seeds. It should be E Z seeding.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Meh don't matter to me now but thx for the explanation, it made things more clear.

let this thread get back to normal now, i liked how it was

like with orangs giving blow jobs?

 

[Suspect]

About what Hylian said about Aniki wavedashing

Must of been barely then cause the vids i saw was little to none, which still proves link doesnt need to wavedash

matter of fact it even says in one of his youtube descriptions "Aniki is one of the few pros that doesnt wavedash"

maybe he started to but there was a time where he didnt.

 

[KRDsonic]

There was like one very hard pool and a few easy ones, but there was almost no complaining about the pools themselves. We even made sure people from different cities (besides Houston) didn't have to play each other in pools as best as possible.

Which pool was the very hard pool? If it's the one that me and you were in then I'ma be sad. (Though I suppose my pool was harder for me than the rest of the people in it since I was an easy win to them).

i would consider mine pretty hard with lee martin, t-rex, and takeurlife

on another note, lets play pokemon sometime

I didn't say that at all. I said "Duh, a lot of first seeds got byes"

Because you know when it's not an perfect bracket lots of people get byes. There are too many byes to spread them out between first AND seconds seeds. So if ozz and dojo both got byes its 2 1st seed playing in seconds round which SHOULD happen with only 2 seeds.


Only having 2 people get out of pools defeats the purpose of having pools seed which I have said forever. You need to have 3/4 get out for proper seeding.

Oh, and I checked over the brackets before and I had the hardest one. Didn't change myself haha.

 

[Magitek_Knight]

Its a bummer we only had 40 man bracket. That was different. Unless i am completely wrong and there was more

And you trust the random youtube comments over someone who has been in the competitive scene since 2003? Hell people used to say Ken didn't wavedash even though he did..a lot. People honestly just don't know what they are talking about. And just because someone doesn't do something doesn't mean it isn't useful. Wavedashing is essential.

 

[Inui]

I am teaming with UTD Zac at HOBO 18.

It feels like we're cheating...

Shhhhhhhhhh. You weren't suppose to tell everyone. Now nobody is going to enter teams.

Spoiler

If we don't get first I'm going to cry

 

[Santi]

I might have to come just to play in the melee side event

and give Zac&Inui a run for their money

 

[Inui]

rofl, people are still entering against the unstoppable Inui/Mew2King combo this weekend and they did at WHOBO 1 too

I'm...pretty sure we can take 1st. Let's just watch out for people like Razer, Lee, Dojo, and the other really good players showing up for this. We will form perfect strategies together, since we are doubles geniuses! Or something along those lines. It should be both fun and challenging.

I didnt say comments, but i do trust the videos and descriptions.

I never said wavedashing wasn't essential, i said for link it really isnt. L canceling is.

He did it when he played samus as well, now that i dont understand.

 

[UTDZac]

I don't care how many good players come to this, I will judgment all of them.

 

[UltimateRazer]

Father and Son will be at this to destroy the Zac+Inui combo.

-Wears anti-judgment suits-

 

[Vorguen]

Does pools really significantly cut the amount of time brackets would have taken otherwise?

 

[Zori]

hobo 18, its a wrap

also i got first in my pool and didn't get a bye

 

[Kingdom Come]

Man, just thinking about it my pool was easy aside from RoyR (The R stands for ****).

Oh and yea, Happy B-day Jerm!

EDIT: Also, it's only low tier doubles?

 

[Popertop]

Wavedashing is essential.

not for Link.

his wavedash is horrid

 

[PhantomX]

If you steal Dojo from me AGAIN I might just kill you... b/c it would be the second time after he says we're going to >: (

 

[Inui]

No, pools actually add a lot of time. They make seeding easier and allow people to get their money's worth out of the event, though.

 

[Vorguen]

Yeah I was thinking the same, however it also is kind of demoralizing and especially sad when people's names don't get mentioned in shoutouts because they weren't put in results for not getting out of pools.

I felt that way in WHOBO in my first tournament, I remember. haha

 

[GHNeko]

People sometimes give generalized shoutouts but still. It really does suck if you get suck in pool results. >:

I suggest you step your game up! It's a darn shame if you can't make it out of pools!

You'll be stuck playin' the blues...

 

[Vorguen]

Lawl I got 13th and made it out of pools HOBO 17, but that was my 5th? tournament.. I'm talking about my 1st tournament WHOBO and my experience there about not getting out of pools.

It is indeed demoralizing.

 

[Espy Rose]

Jeez. Phoenix Wright is downright ******** sometimes.

I mean, look at that guy. He looks so ridiculous.

 

[Inui]

Jeez. Phoenix Wright is downright ******** sometimes.

I mean, look at that guy. He looks so ridiculous.

Phoenix Wright is never ********.

 

[heytallman]

Inui, on the other hand, is always ********.

 

[Popertop]

hooray Tallman!

saying what everyone was thinking!

 

[Inui]

Inui, on the other hand, is always ********.

Impossible. MY I.Q. is ~50% greater than that of the average person.

 

[heytallman]

Forrest Gump doesn't count as an average person.

 

[Inui]

Forrest Gump doesn't count as an average person.

No, he counts as ********. ~100 is the average I.Q.

 

[Suspect]

rofl @ tallman

get em

 

[Inui]

Sigh. If only the rest of TX could learn from the examples of their top players and hosts.

 

[Vorguen]

I wish Inui would bless me with his excellence.

 

[Suspect]

our top players are weird

 

[UTDZac]
