Thanks for another awesome tourney

S2J - Sorry, I blew chunks in teams. You're too good for winning singles though


People I played
MacD - Another close set, you clutched it though
Fly Amanita - I am slowly progressing. I remember 2 years ago when I got 4 stocked by you. Young Link was a terrible idea by me. I forgot you had a pocket sheik =/
Lucky - Too good for clutching me out
DETH - Samus vs sheik sucks
Boss - Watch Darc vs. Tope to see what i mean in the puff/sheik MU
Hairy_nips - We are getting closer, you needed to clutch g1, but good stuff

Really enjoyed myself at this tournament, ggs to everyone I played, I look forward to every tournament and they never disappoint.

Pools
Fiction – I had fun in our match, I felt like I was a little less overwhelmed this time around and was a little more successful at controlling your movement. Your rush down is too legit though, keep it up =]

Dendy – I was anticipating our match literally since the first SSS like 3 months ago or whatever. Crazy that it went to last stock last hit to determine it. Looking forward to our rematch somewhere deep in the Arcadian bracket :p

Studdmuffin – Rough pool for ya, you’re definitely on the cusp of getting out of pools at every tournament. You have an awesome mindset when it comes to this game and you’re basically the chilliest guy around. I’ll be cheering for you at every event!

Heisenberg – When we gonna cook again?

Smish – I don’t know how you felt about our set but I definitely saw improvement in your play. Especially at the start, you weren’t getting completely overwhelmed like in the friendliest we played at the last SSS. I felt like got a bit discouraged half way through the set. Stay confident and keep doing what you’re doing, you’re improving fast man!

Tear Bear – Good **** at taking a set off Dendy at your first melee tournament ever dude. Falco is a rough matchup for ganon but you were still really impressive for your first tourney
.
Falco player – I forget your name cause I suck at names =[ but ggs! My best piece of advise is to learn to love the game. Love to win, love to lose, love to practice, love to spam random techskill, love to watch the game. You definitely had the basics down and now you just need to refine refine refine and you’ll find yourself getting faster and faster. I’ll edit this post with your name and remember you for next tournament once pool results are posted!

Bracket
Westballz – You jerk for getting third seed and having to play me round 1. Haha I had fun in our set though. Hopefully I can force you to stick to falco in our future sets. When I played Hugs at this tournament I tried to implement some stuff you were talking about from Festizzios (like dairing in front of samus repeatedly) and it totally helped, haha. I love your style though, I’ll keep stealing your **** like westballz shines and stuff.

Hugs – Good **** taking a 5th set from me at SSSs now. I think I’m starting to understand the matchup more and how I have to play in order to get aggressive without getting punished hardcore, I just don’t quite have it down yet so I end up getting punished, getting scared and playing defensive. I’m adapting every time we play though, I’ll have my breakthrough soon haha.

Other
Bradl – Fun time hanging out with you the day before and the of the tourney. We totally choked it up round 1 of doubles but we kind of brought it back in losers. Good **** beating Kevin in pools and taking a match off larry! Too sick nasty.

Sacasumoto – Damn you had nice results at this tournament. Looking forward to our next set haha. Look at me, I can tilt into a bair :p

Rracizzle – Double falco teams is op! Good **** with da results man. We gotta keep that Falco collusion going strong man. Look forward to seeing you at every tournament, you’re hilarious man, haha.

Nips – 9th, aweeee sheet *squidlike arm movements*. You really are the Ash Ketchum of socal haha. Whenever I see you play you remind me that I need to continue practicing tech skill and not getting complacent. I watched your set with Joejoe and that honestly looked like destruction… Looking forward to getting a rematch with you at Arcadian, you seem to be improving at crazy rates.

Noel – Thanks again for the awesome smashfest on Saturday! Glad to see you made it out to SSS!

Boss – Good matches and good seeing you again man. Good **** on making out of pools, I know you had a death pool the last couple of SSSs haha.

Zhao (or something… falcon player who was in Bardl / Hugo / etc pool) – The saaaalt. Haha. You falcon is sick man, I hope I can play more than 1 friendly with you next time. Have confidence and stick to falcon next time in pools :p

Kiko - n00b. You’re like a hidden mini boss of socal. You better deliver at Arcadian man, lol. Also stop hating on the game.

Travis T – Travis TTTTT you totally had that game vs Arookie. I look over and see that you have a lead, walked away came back and found out you lost. Just like your set vs A1 man, you’ve got the potential for some big upsets in the near future!

Tafo - Squidward

Jago – Unchained! Good seeing you again, glad to have you in the car rides every tournaments!

Adonis – Sad to see that you didn’t make it out to this event, but I understand. I know you were getting frustrated with the game at the smashfest and I think it’s important to realize that and take a break before you burn yourself out. You’ve always been super dedicated to improving and I think when you get too focused on the goal you start to lose sight of why you loved the game and what brought you in in the first place.
I always thought that one of the most important lessons I learned form melee is the ability to enjoy losing. You play every match to improve and you don’t worry about the outcome. You have to give props to your opponent when you lose while still understanding that there are things you can do to improve. Don’t worry about how “fair” things are, don’t worry about “hard” things are etc. Play your game, analyze it a bit, and have fun with it. You still have that potential in you and if you can get the right mindset to motivate you without burning yourself out, you got nowhere to go but up! Hope to see you at the Arcadian next week!

Blur - Great tournament again! Thanks for hosting these, looking forward to your future events!

POOLS

Ryo - Glad ta hear you're havin fun, hard life
Act1ve - Your bomb usage is funny, it was working pretty well against me actually
Fly_Amanita - Ggs, I'm changing up my whole game again
BurgersPHD - Marth is hard, but you know when you HAVE someone, so make sure you take advantage of that and not drop it
NowhereMan - Utilizing new tech, I like that. I think you're pretty good and I'm sure you play way better in friendlies. Have confidence in your ability
JumboChrist - Lol, ya dropped falco? Dying time for the character
Matticus - Looks like you're keepin true to your word... for now haha. I think your biggest problem is lack of punish, your combos are too weak think about using weak dairs, wavedashing out of shine everytime, make sure your executions are on point and really looking at which DI I'm using
SFS|A1 - Find safer ways to approach and better ways to defend yourself from approaches looking and reacting is super important so never commit to patterns be open to changes, you definitely have it in you to improve quickly just think about every little thing you could be doing better and not dropping punishes
Tater - Learn information, you did some good f tilts, hopefully you see this on smashboards. Knowledge is power!


BRACKET

Bardull - Oops I messed up, it's supposed to be 2-1. You have pretty good game sense and your edgeguarding was pretty good
RCizzle - Good stuff! Great mixups on your approaches and your full jump nairs were eating me alive
MacD - I think I played the marth version of MacD in our set. You're hilarious
Fiction - #Destruction I got a lot to think about
Connor - I see you know how to block. Shouldn't have been so stubborn with my play but next time though


OTHERS

SFS|A Rookie - You're amazing
That one fox guy who came from brawl - Totally forgot your name, but if you keep at it you'll be a really good player really fast
Tafokints - "You're amazing" - Tafokints
SacaSuMoto - Lookin good, ugh now you and JoeJoe are beatin my falco >_> what a terrible character LOL

Everyone else, yall already know ggs to all

BTW, anyone who wants to talk about anything/wants advice (from an okay player), just add me Sung Hyun Lee on facebook! or msg me on smashboards or w/e!

Squid: dude I got really pissed at all my SDs during out set ;__; Sorry I wasn't playing my best against you. I was really excited to play you again because I felt like I've improved but I guess I got carried away and ****ed up :p But GGs and next time I'll definitely have a better pika for you >:) But sick Falco as always. You wreck <3

StuddMuffin: Fun set dude! I feel like I'm on the verge of beating you. You're one of my short-term goals for sure so look out >:p But GGs and nice job man.

Fiction: Man I think you are my favorite Fox. Seriously. Amazing stuff in pools AND getting 2nd place. Also thanks for the advice on the overshooting with nair. That's definitely something I need to be more conscious of. Good stuff and hopefully we can play more in the future! :D

Dendy: **** I love playing with you so much <3. This is like the 3rd time we've had the same pool but I don't mind at all haha. Gives me something to work at! GGs as always dude.

Tear Bear: Good lord. That was your first tourney?! Good stuff man. You man Dendy salty as **** hahaha. Hope to play you again in the future!

Heisenberg: GGs dude. Keep working at dat Falcon. The only advice I can give is that you should probably shield more. You were getting hit by a LOT of my silly pika tricks that I think could have been avoided with a few carefully placed shields. You're new so prepare to get bodied for a while but that's the best way to learn so I hope to see you again soon!

Koopa Troopa: Nice job dude you straight up outplayed me. and I love the Mario MU too! I definitely learned a lot about how to fight Mario better. Good stuff man GGs

The Falco player whose name I also forgot: Good stuff. Basically just work on tech skill for a while until you're consistently L-canceling and shuffling those dairs perfectly. Falco is a strong character against Pikachu so keep working on it! But definitely good job for your first tourney I'd say. Keep it up! GGs

DETH: **** man that Samus is solid as hell. It's definitely a MU I want to work on and get more experience with so I hope we can play again more! Nice job dude. GGs those teams matches were funny as hell haha.

Noel: fun games as always. Glad to see you picked up Jiggs! :D Hope to see you at Arcadian!

MacD: no more sads pls

Connor: so proud <3

Blur: I'm stoked because this was the first time I got to stay for GFs :D. Nice job to all of OXY for getting this one to end so early. It's a long drive back for us so we usually have to leave really early in the bracket but I'm glad I got to take part in all the hype for once! yaaaaaaaaaaaay.

S2J: I can’t believe you remembered a scrub like me from years ago when I don’t remember us ever meeting, let alone playing. I thought the first time I’ve even seen you in person was at an SSS. Also, goddamn your combos are amazing, all it takes is one grab or hit and I might as well be getting wobbled. Thanks for giving us possibly the most hype grand finals we’ve had at an SSS so far.

A rookie: That was by far the most fun tournament set I’ve ever played. Sorry if I was too excited, I was just amazed that my Ganon janks were working, and then doubly amazed at all the hard reads you were getting on me to bring it back. This set made me realize that a big reason why I want to get better is so I can have more fun; this was way more fun than the first time I played you in pools and you wrecked me without trying. I just wish it didn’t end with me doing a dumb wizard’s foot offstage, but those who play me a lot would probably say that it’s a fitting end. I hope I get to meet you in bracket one day so I can see what you’re like when you’re trying from the start.

Lobo: Ah, I hated losing our set. I wonder if mid-tier mains in general hate losing dittos; there’s just something more personal about losing against “your” character. No johns, you’re definitely better than me, especially as you beat Crimson and I didn’t. Watching your set later, though, I was almost yelling at my monitor for you to dthrow → bair after you grabbed him at mid-high percents.

TheCrimsonBlur: I liked how you didn’t play around with your edgeguarding; I don’t think I once made it back to the stage when I was recovering if you were at the edge. Also, I really appreciate you getting these tournaments to end on time.

Hulka (I think I've got the name wrong here): Dude, you’re really solid considering this is your second melee tournament. Sorry I didn’t have any super helpful advice for you, but I really think you played the matchup well. You waited outside my range and punished me after I threw out moves, which is basically how everyone should play against Ganon, I think. I barely got by on wizard’s foot jank game 1, and I don’t remember how I won game 2.

Silva: Lol, I was seriously regretting picking FD after you did that death combo on my first stock and I was staring at a full stock deficit on game 3. Not to john for you, but after that, I think you mentally let up a little bit, which let me come back. Good games though, definitely a closer set than the first one we played.

J Cole: Watch out throwing out those dash attacks, it’s one of the few moves Ganon can really punish if you whiff; I was getting free stomps every time you missed one. I liked you chain-throwing, people are sometimes reluctant to abuse their matchup advantages.

RobotOperator: You’re definitely better than when I played you before. I was a little surprised you went to Battlefield though. (Did we play there both games?) I feel like it’s a pretty bad Luigi stage because he can get stuck under the stage recovering.

Other:

Squid: What can I say, I’m super pro at choking away leads.

Jago: I hope you weren’t bored playing my secondaries later on in friendlies, I was just getting burnt out on Ganon. Both of us are almost there to almost making it out of pools, lol.

Overall, really fun tournament. I can definitely feel myself getting better, even if I still got 5th in my pool as usual.

Super late shoutouts...

First of all, congrats to everyone who beat me. RC, really proud of you. I have a mental block v you and I'm happy to see you capitalize on it. The loss will only make me better. There's no one I would rather lose to than you, though.

Congrats to that african-american Luigi who beat me in pools. I was not motivated, sure, but I also have a Luigi problem.

Sacasumoto, that was my fave set of the tourny. Your Sheik is really slick and you knocked me in my mouth with the 2-stock in match 1. I was legit shaken up. When I get nervous, though, I talk, and I'm glad my talk psyched you out and baited you into picking Dreamland ^.^. Your Sheik is really fast, but also has really solid spacing and tilt spam. Dtilt more and you'll be set.

Joey, thanks for owning me and being so gracious about it.

Ryan/Studmuffin, thanks for being my best friend at the tournament.

Ben, thanks for facing your fears. Jocelyn, thanks for the opportunity to get my counselor on =P.

Teaming with you, Ben, was honestly the most fun I've ever had in teams or this game. We have natural chemistry! You're getting scary good.

Sung and Dendy, thanks for the most fun I've ever had. That teams set was INTENSE, wasn't it?! Sung, you're a homie for not taking Ben's stock. Dendy, you're a homie for wanting to take that stock! Adam, you're an overexuberant prick for jumping at the opportunity to take that stock! Almost made a sick comeback at the end anyway, though.

Joey/your Falcon, fun teams set. I def choked, but no johns; you are really good at slowing down the match and making me think too much.

Thank you Shep for triggering improvement. I will mm your Falcon again next time.

I had my first bad tourny in a while, but I felt like I learned more than I ever had! Sorry, Fox; I won't betray you again. Sorry, Marth; I won't betray you again.

And thanks Shep for telling me about Fox's super long, incredibly intimidating dash dance. Makes me super confident v Puff!
