Hype, I exclusively used link for this tourney btw, other than my fox ditto with Benji. Shout outs to root for organizing this, and shout outs to Lordy for destroying Super (and pretty much everyone else) once again.

I had a SoM concert on this weekend but I'll be back to reclaim glory for LE3 for sure

Also, researching venues tonight, hopefully you guys can expect a Kzoo tourney in the potentially near future

Artificial Flavour you killed it in money matches. Too bad I didnt get to play you in bracket. Oh and I forgot to include ManaX in my shoutouts earlier for his much improved play at this tourney. You should definitely keep working on that mewtwo game.

1. Lordy (Ike) - Much Ike. Very FSmash. Wow. So game.
2. Solharath (Sonic/Roy/Mario) - Fraudstrats
3. Benji (DK/Fox) - Can we not meet in Loser's so you can take out Lordy and I just don't have to deal with him? I know you beat him more often.
4. Ginger (Fox/Falco) - Talk about the most stressful set of my life. Joining up into PM was great to see!
5. Jawsome (Squirtle/Mario) - Yoooooo, so much hype! GGs on the money match, too! You're doing the withdraw combos!
5. Robjoe (Charizard) - This man fell asleep like seven times before bracket, then roared through Losers before getting stopped by 1st and 3rd. Not bad.
7. ZBet (Fox/Falco) - This man got second last time he came to a rootfest. Now I only see him face the bubbles.
7. Tbird (Falcon) - You're really starting to control the neutral game, it's getting scary.
9. ManaX (Mewtwo/Toon Link?) - Top 10, notbad.
9. Coldcut (Link) - Man comes out of a six month rust period and shows everyone that his coldcut combos are still frosty.
9. 100% (Samus?) - Good stuff!
9. Fishnax (Marth) - I really wanted to go Roy against you so bad, maybe next time.
13. CSock (Ganondorf) - Really glad you showed. Bring that Gdorf hype.
13. Sophy (Mewtwo/Samus) - Everytime I see you, your main seems to change. But I guess now you're Mewtwo for life?
13. root (Sheik/Zelda) - #rootstrats2014
13. Artificial Flavor (Luigi/Ivysaur) - Savor the Flavor.

Shoutouts to Bert for fearing Sonic's Uair against Jiggs.
Shoutouts to ArtificialBird for taking a game off Lordy and me.
Shoutouts to BBQ for being my Melee counterpart in placement.
Shoutouts to Storm's car for stalling and preventing him from coming to the tournament.
Shoutouts to Root for hosting another awesome tournament.

Shoutouts to the three guys I beat in a 3v1. Shoutouts to that Team Killing D3.

Shoutouts to MI weather being balls during the tournament instead of before.

Yo0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o', for real had too much fun at this event. Didn't do as well as I would have liked but it's really whatever, I had more fun getting bopped than I would have had doing anything else. Do wish I could have made more Pokémon trades with some that didn't have their handhelds on them, didn't have stuff to trade, and those that I could tell were interested in trading but didn't get around to socializing with them.

Shoutouts to Lordy, RobJoe, Super, Flan, Ginger, Benji, Elliot, McK, and CockSock for being faces/names I know and having had been there in general!
Oh yeah, good/bad job placing where ever each of you did in this event.
:b

Shoutouts to MMike and his two super cool buddies that provided me a ride there and back!
:D

Shoutouts to ManaX for having had done as well as he did!
B]

Shoutouts to ZBet for getting his balls broken for thinking that Monogatari S:II wasn't over yet.
:O

Shoutouts to AF for getting a free 6IV Ditto.
;]

Super- duper special shoutouts to Root for being too damn strong and hosting this mad event!
^3^
Also, shoutouts to his buddy for doing such a great job at sitting in that chair near the streaming TV and laptop.
XD

My final shoutouts to out to those that got demolished like myself and despite it all aren't considering quitting Smash in general. You guys are the ever so tasty meat that makes up the girth of the community and as wack as that sounds things wouldn't be as hype as they are without y'all. You guys will get better and sooner or later be the goons placing top at these events. Dedication, yo', get at it. Be smart!
Great to have you all around.
'3'

if you didn't hear me say it before, i'll say it again: lake effect, series of the UPSETS.

in favor of the seemingly popular rapid fire shoutouts:

shoutouts to zbet for throwing his set vs jamie. 10/10 very convincing would believe again
shoutouts to tbird for doing work vs AF. you just keep getting better and better man.
shoutouts to tran for what i thought was probably the best set i played all day (and thanks for the friendlies)
shoutouts to ginger for a very close second best set of the day, and for clutching that **** vs brother bbq
shoutouts to fingrour and bert east for repping the newblood of mattawan
shoutouts to sophy for the post-loss pickmeup in the parking lot
shoutouts to sleep deprivation and DSRM (srsly?) for the fun times
legit shoutouts to bbq for the ggs and just for coming out. we all love you man and have your place in the west mi smash community. better see you at sweet for the double runback.
shoutouts to taco bell for the free disgusting food on our way back to lordy's
shoutouts to lordy for putting us up for the night
shoutouts to all the pm guys: benji, super, sophy, mck, coldcut, etc. (so many) for being chill and playing a cool game that i still don't really understand.

and in general just shoutouts to root for the tourney and all you mother****ers for coming to it. in good times and bad, no matter how frustrated i am with the game, with life, with falcon or with myself, it's the people in the smash community around here and everywhere that i can depend on to keep me going. with that, good **** everyone, and i hope to see you at sweet in east lansing (if anyone needs housing hit up the michigan state smash facebook page or pm me here) and def hope to see you all at lake effect 3 if it happens.

Shoutouts!
First I'd like to thank Root for throwing an awesome west MI tournament. Spreading out the bracket and making it a really enjoyable experience at a nice venue. Keep it up!

Lordy - Thanks for housing us for the night and taking five of my dollars in PM, once I learn that game I'm definitely coming for you though.
Tbird - The driving skills of a champion and enough melee skills to make for some fun friendlies. Nice seeing you again and I'm looking forward to playing you more!
BBQ - Being my brother and always having to play me in tournament. There was no stopping me in this tournament, but you put in work again everyone else. Thanks for winning teams with me :)
Solharath - That sonic is crazy. I was crazy embarrassed to watch the VoD of that match. I'm definitely excited to play some more PM and play you again :)
Benji - It was awesome meeting you and talking to you during the tournament. Despite my salt towards PM DK, we had an epic set and I really enjoyed playing you :)
Zbet - Having some of the most fun matches as always, kzoo representing at this tournament.
Jawsome - We had a really great set in PM. Sorry for picking fox. Your squirtle looks great and I'm excited to play you some more!
Artifical flavor - The most reliable gent of them all. Never quick picking luigi, he's too hype when you're savoring that flavor. Good showing at this tournament, way too hype for Sweet.

Shoutouts to everyone that I met at that tournament. Even though this was my first PM tournament, no johns. I gotta learn up on some match ups and I'll be perfectly ready for lake effect 3 ;) I love the smash community and I'm a huge supporter West MI. If anyone wants to add me on Facebook I'm Avery Wilson and I'd be happy to get together some time for smashfests.

Keep improving, much love
- Ginger

Bert, once I saw that you were wearing a Jiggs shirt I figured I'd play my Jiggs against you but when you pick Jiggs I hesitated because that's a ditto game I've never really come out on top with. I'm glad I didn't end up going Jiggs because your Jiggs was mad fierce and had I gone mine against yours I don't even know what I would have done. Zelda isn't exactly my best character but she's one of my personal favorites next to MewTwo. I was a little shocked, yet hopeful, when for our last game you picked Bowser and took us to WarioWare. Now I wasn't going to say anything then but I'll say it now... I actually know Bowser really- really well, I know a small army of peers that play him, and I myself know the match- up with Bowser going to WarioWare. You certainly didn't make it easy taking a single game from you though! Keep on keepin' on, yo'!

Yo', I've got 6IV Dittos for trade and all I ask is either any random crap shiny or your Mewtwo. Mewtwo must either be in the MasterBall or at least have it's MegaStone to get a 6IV Ditto. Here's my FC below as well as my Facebook account. Friend me and message me, y'all!

Thanks for the compliment man! I won't be having a hard time with zelda anymore, so prepare yourself (heh). But yeah, if I catch a mewtwo, ill tell ya. Keep working on that PM mewtwo though, can't wait to fight it again!

That was Ricky, Dillon (DDD/Ph1r3)'s friend from GVSU. I don't think he has a tag. Mad shoutouts to him though. He came to Lake Effect last year and was generally a pretty cool guy.

Gonna do my shoutouts now... peace to!!

LORDY for REPPING GRAND RAPIDS **** YEAH - lordy afterparty was probably hype as hell, wish I could have been awake for it.
SUPER for helping with TO ****, congrats on 2nd, one day I will learn how to beat Sonic and then you will (at least mildly) fear me. :p
Benji for helping me reach my potential. Soon we'll knock Super out of top 3 and GR will be dabess :p

EVERYONE IN KZOO. HYPE. You guys have been with me from the start back at rootfest 2, and this fantastic tournament would not have happened without your continued support. Thank you so much for coming, hope to play some ggs with you again soon!

Mike and Dakota because **** yeah Muskegon. Extra shoutouts to Dakota for actually... existing? hahahahaha

Holland crew for bringing the Melee hype! Congrats sweeping the floor in both Melee and PM :)

Shoutouts to all of the newcomers/people I have never seen before. Thanks for coming! If you haven't already, make sure you take a look at our facebook group, West MI Thread, the other Michigan Smash threads, and the Michigan Melee facebook group.

Shoutouts to TBird for doing work with me in teams :) No Tbird OR rootstrats, TEAM TO BE FEARED

Shoutouts to Robjoe for a good(ish) set, your Zard is ****ing sick now. Next time I'll play you when I'm fresher and put up a good fight :p $10 MM next time?

Shoutouts to AF for testing my Diddy :p

Bert East, had a lot of fun in our sets, definitely want to play you again.

Shoutouts to that guy I did Sheik dittos with

Shoutouts to Logan for proving I'm a good trainer ;)

WEEEEEZYYYYYY

Sometimes I forget that I exist too!
Yo', life would be much more fluent for me if my damn workplace had me on any bit of a consistant schedule. Looking to get that changed soon and once that's a thing I'll actually be able to have a life.
