Woah! Those are some strange results...

Darkrain....how did you not win?

Tink in 17th?
DYC in 25th?

What's going on here?? I still can't figure out how darkrain didn't win....

Somebody should've told me about this....I might have been able to go :(

EDIT: Are there gonna be vids from this tourney?

Dayum DYC beat Darkrain?

Does this mean nobody in KC can say "Was it that hard Sliq?" anymore??

Also who is Matt R? Maybe I don't know enough MW players yet....

Matt R is the brother of Tom R, otherwise known as Marth1, the king of Home Run Contest and Break the Targets speed runs. Matt R sent Dark to losers at SMYM9 then proceeded to lose to Dark in Grand Finals at SMYM9. The top 2 at SMYM9 meeting in round 1 of winners at what might as well been the same tournament shouldn't have happened, but it did.

We got pretty unlucky with bracket positions. Dark had to play Matt R first round of winners and lost, then had to play DYC first round of losers and lost. But DYC was kind enough to let Dark go on. Dark eventually had to play Phat as well. Meanwhile, Sliq was ****** the rest of our crew one by one and eventually rested Dark to oblivion. If you look at the bracket, he played Z, dmac, and Dark all in a row and had put DYC in losers first round of winners.
wow, dyc is a real ****ing man. mad respect for that.

you don't know what you are talking about, markis yet again gets in over his head and just talks too ****ing much. Let the results speak for themselves, and don't feel like you have to divulge info that is none of your business in the first place.

wow umm... o.o moving on

i think the whole matt r vs. darkrain first round thing is pretty BS. i was kinda confused looking at the bracket.
i guess there's really nothing that can be done now, though. :\ darkrain you were the real winner!

I'm gonna guess the results are in the results forum of smashboards...

For me I came close to making it out of my pool. Kels was the last person I had to play, and somehow I beat him the first match of the set, and if I could have just beaten him in one more game I would have advanced to the bracket, but he beat me.

the Kansas City crew is currently in preparations for another Event 52. We're looking at possible venues this week (since the last one is unavailable for the date we need) and there should be a thread up by the end of the week if this is happening.
So the tourney has to happen on the 16th & 17th then for sure? Duck recently told me that he could reserve the JCCC regnier center on the 23rd & 24th if those dates would work for like Jesi and anyone else who couldn't make it the 30th.

If that detail doesn't change anything then yeah, finding a new venue may be our best option.

mine was lodged in the mountainside, where many men before me tried to remove it. However, after thousands of men failing at dislodging the sacred arcade sticks for years on end, I was able to do it, as if it were meant for me.

shoryuken has some really good tutorials on custom stick making.

IDK about the Hori Sticks but it's possible (depending entirely on the amount of space inside the stick) to mod any retail stick to be multi-platform if you add in the PCB of a different console controller & wire the **** up, you'd need to look up tutorials for that.

What?? Darkrain is moving?? Oh no...this isn't good. :(

Where is he moving to? And when?

If if the last tourney he goes to is on a Thursday (the 16th) I can't go =/ Unless we're talking May here....or a different month.

Wow. That's just about the worse news the KC smash scene has ever heard. This is terrible.

Who's he going to play in Texas? Rob$ or Caveman? Is Darkrain even going to live anywhere near Crystal City?
