Alright, to clear a couple things up...
I go to every tournament in Montreal, and I end up running half of them anyways. Matt and Frank, you guys need to actually go to a tournament; I travel to every Ottawa tournament, and I should going to Final Only in Niagara as well. Frank, you need to come to our weeklies, you have access to public transport and they're really easy to get to. I personally travel 1 - 2 hours to get there depending on traffic, and you will meet a bunch of good players like HolyNightmare, Swordgard, Dom, myself, and many others. I keep asking you this because you haven't tasted any offline play with our community at all. Bring your brother.
We have a Montreal ECCSL event for 2 days, on June 20-21st (NEXT WEEK). What's more, Ally will be in the Midwest at the time so Ontario will be down in force to grab our spots, and we can't let that happen.
A lot of you need to start placing. Take a look at the character rankings list tournament archives; practically none of us have been placing at all. My placings are getting better after every event if you notice the pattern I'm making in the Mario tournament results thread, but a couple 7th places won't get us anywhere
. Boss is still our biggest contributor in that regard.
Matador, I don't abhor wifi as much anymore. It's going to be garbage until the end of time, but I see some benefits. You can read up on them in my AiB blog here:
http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=21180. I'm basically avoiding playing South, WC, and overseas players now, because the variance becomes too much for me in that environment. My style is completely different online though, not so I play better, but to maximize the benefits I gain from it. As long as I read every action my opponent does, I don't care how many times I suicide.
Of course you guys don't know much about me; I'm Canadian. No one gave Ally credit for winning every Canadian tournament until he came down to the states and placed at the top in every national event he's been at thus far. Not enough people realize how amazing HolyNightmare is, despite placing top 16 at every single national event he's been to WITH ROB ONLY. Our Canadian scene is incredibly stacked, but not enough people acknowledge it. I'll conclude with this statement I made in the Mario Power Rankings thread:

If you really want my honest opinion, I think I'm the second best Mario, below Boss. I'm not going to explain myself as that would take too long, and no one outside of Montreal would believe that anyways. My videos apparently aren't good enough (thank goodness, that would be an awful criterion of a power ranking anyway). My tournament results are sub-par. I've got a lot going for me though, and while it doesn't look the part, I'm gunning for those top spots in the Canadian scene when I get my chance.
