just got back from my first tourney. my college was running a (small) tourney with a $25 gamestop gift card as a prize. i went in not even expecting to get past the first match.
i made it to the semifinals where i was killed by a very good sonic. i know, but he really was good.

3 stock

(Audience Response: *to guy* alright man, you got him out, now its easy)
in all, not a bad first tourney. the guy i lost to has been playing in brawl tourneys since the game came out, so to keep up with him (and lead for most of the first match) i think it went well. we'll be having more tourneys throughout the year so i'll definitely be back. if i can get my hands on some vids i'll post them.
too bad nobody was filming the first matches though because i was ****** his ***... tried going for a grab too much in the last match. probably what went wrong....
