As epic an entry number as 69 is, am I the only one that finds it depressing that little amount of people entered a NATIONAL?

I remember in 2009 we would get 54 people for an Ohio LOCAL :|
But the average skill cap is so much higher.

I hear you. I don't mean to discourage you at all, my apologies if I did. It just takes analysis of many variables to properly identify improvement/progress; not only if you win or lose.

that's a lesson for later.

It doesn't matter if the opponent is playing bad/not trying/lazy/SD'd 6 times/w/e. god

1: Mango ($390) Very nicely done, it's just a shame the pot wasn't a bit bigger for someone like you who had to travel so far to make it out here

2: Dr. PeePee ($195) One of the most fun falcos to watch, good stuff taking second place

3: Hungrybox ($78) Watched a bunch of your friendly matches, so many rests lol good stuff.

4: Mew2King ($39) Nice to finally see you play in person, you've got to be one of the most versatile players around when it comes to playing multiple different characters at top level.

5: KirbyKaze ($24) Well done, it's good to see some top level play coming from Canada

5: Vwins ($24) Europe has Armada, Canada has you. Nice sets, great Peach.

7: unknown522 ($15) Very nice, it's a shame you had to get knocked out by a fellow Canadian player though, but then again David knocked out a bunch of Canada's best players in Loser's brackets lol

7: Kage the Warrior ($15) I didn't get to play vs you but damn you have an amazing Ganondorf. I didn't know it was possible for Ganon to be so good

9: Nintendude - Fun Matches in Smash 64, you beat me pretty effortlessly lol. Thanks for showing up for your matches when you were called, it helped us to make the tourney run a lot smoother.

9: RaynEX - Pretty damn good for a guy coming out of "retirement". You should start coming to the A and C monthlies again lol. I'm still convinced you could be the best in Canada

9: SFAT - Only saw you play in the crew battles. Good stuff from what I saw

9: Weon-X - Nicely done on getting 9th, your fox is fun to watch

13: I.B - Fun matches in pools, I'm surprised I even managed to take you down to the last stock, then again I'm sure you were probably sandbagging anyway lol. I've been trying to take your advice on not rolling when somebody respawns just for the sake of trying to get away from them, and I've been trying to reduce unnecessary rolling in general as well. Seems to be working to my advantage so far.

13: Silent Wolf - Sucks you had to use Falco instead of that super technical fox of yours. Good stuff getting 13th tho.

13: Bam - Watched you in crew battles. Very nice Falco, one of Canada's finest

17: Izek - Not too bad considering the lack of warmup you had before brackets lol. If the website was fixed the way it should have been we would have gotten there on time and u prolly wouldve gotten at least 13th.

17: Vudujin - Fun matches in Smash 64. Your Luigi in 64 and in Melee are too good. It was nice to have finally met you in person after watching so many of your videos and trying to learn from them.

17: summonedfist - Fun friendlies. You seem to have good knowledge with the Ice climbers matchup, unlike most people. I think I started understanding what to do a little bit better towards our later matches.

17: Idea - Sucks we didn't get to play at all, but I'll see you at the next A and C monthly

17: tect - I seem to have trouble against most fox players with my ICs, especially vs you considering you 3 stocked me lol. I'll have to work on that matchup. My Luigi gave you a run for your money tho haha. good games

17: Icer - I've never met or heard of you before but you had a pretty damn good fox. Good games

25: Europhoria - Didn't get to play you but I'll see you at the next monthly. I'm surprised I finished as high as you considering how much better you are than me.

25: HammerTime - Learn how to use Ice Climbers consistently you ****ing noob

25: Windrose - Nice job 3 stocking me numerous times in friendlies lol. Either I was completely off on the second day or you suddenly got way better. I think it might have been a bit of both lol.

33: Jus-Tin - Sad to see a fellow ICs player have to play a Peach player in round 1. That matchup is so broken its ridiculous lol.

33: TastyGoldFish - I wasn't expecting to beat your Samus with ICs lol, I was going to bring Luigi out as a backup plan. Sorry for knocking you out of the tourney :p

33: The Pizz - This noob skips Canada's first National tourney in like 7 years to watch Italy get 4 stocked. Pwned

33: Jethrotex - I was stubborn and tried to beat your Peach with my IC's. I shouldve just went Luigi lol. Nice job taking 2nd seed.

thats not the point. the point is that this was supposed to be a NATIONAL, yet it only got a regional sized turnout.

:phone:
Just saying, Ontario is a rather small region. The gta has an average of about 22 people for melee and 34 for brawl. For Niagara, there only me for melee and warchamp and I for brawl. We didn't get many people from the Ottawa area(if any) while the guelph London area had about a car full each. I can honestly say that I'm happy with the turnout. However I truly thought we could have hit about 90-100 per event, a lot of locals didn't go :-(

In the rain.
I would assume that Drekken has finished cutting up his stream archive into sets which he is uploading now. I really doubt he's going to only upload Melee (that wouldn't make any sense), he's probably just uploading everything in the order that it's archived...or in some order.

Don't worry, **** will be up soon. Relax brah, ain't be tripping. etc etc

I'm super late on doing some shoutouts, but being that this was my first big tourney and all, I feel I owe a few people some thanks :

White - Big thanks for helpin out with the drive there, and congrats for winning the amateur bracket. Pumped for the next road trip.

Drake - Great finally playing matches with you dude, had lots of fun the whole way there and back, and am pumped you're back in the NS scene. Thanks for helping me stay sane the whole trip.

@+!£@ - Love watchin your matches, your tourney experience is something I want. So much love <3

billybeegood - Finally got more than 3 words out of you on this road trip, your matches with Ally blew my mind, and your advice is really progressing my playing. Thanks for all the help MLG Sales clerk.

Firefly - Thanks for the friendlies and the advice. I want more friendlies against your Kirby. Also, much love for hooking us up with a place to crash. Had a blast chillin the whole trip. Can't wait to see you at HS6, and other future tourneys !

Big D - Those ICs lol. You may have destroyed me in bracket, but I promise it won't be so easy next time ! Had a great time hanging out and I really do hope you make it down for HS6. If not, there will be other times and I'll be visiting you guys in BC, may be living there in a year or two.

Asa Akira - Fun times chillin during the road trip, props for enduring the trunk of that car for any period of time haha. Hope things are good back home, and that we get to play again sometime.

Will - I really owe you for playing matches with a scrub like me. I promise you will have a warm reception in NS during HS6, and that all your advice is currently being carefully pondered !

Tin man - Thanks for the warm reception and the 500% effort you gave the whole weekend. You did your best to make everyone feel welcome, and took criticism and concerns with grace and patience. Whether or not people considered this to be a well run tournament, I will say that you are very capable of running a top quality tournament, and I very much look forward to future events from you and your crew. Keep puttin in that work and opinions will change.

pidgezero-one - I don't remember what your smash tag was, but you gave me a shout out on here, so I thought I'd return the favour. Thanks for the encouraging words on going to Apex, it seems that I will be attending, so hopefully we can play some friendlies there. My Marth will be in better shape next time.



I'll do more/better shout outs when I get to know you all better, but these were the folks that really made a difference in my tournament experience. I look forward to meeting more of you at HS6 and Apex 2013. I also hope to post more on here and get some more advice from you all. Thanks !

who is in charge of getting videos online?

is it the guy who streamed them, or just someone in the community who needs to take the time to cut them up?

There's still only 2.

I see that he's uploaded his LoL vids from 2 weeks later, but not impulse.

:phone:
I would do it but I only know how to cut the vids... I don't know how to upload them after that is done. If anyone knows how to do the latter then tell me, it's been way too long for no reason and LoL is ****.
