Had a really great time. The venue was... unique (I would never have imagined a smooth, well run and properly staffed tournament would be in a ?chiropractor's office?) and I was thoroughly impressed with all facets of the tournament's organization/execution. This was my first at this series, and it certainly won't be my last. And, I'll take a 4th place finish, fersure (but will aim to do better next time).
That being said, onto shoutouts:
Barbarian: Really tight games (esp on the distorted TV, lol). Solid player, and I was glad you did as well as you did given the bracket you had. Top notch effort. I feel ya on the "main crisis", but I'm sure you'll wind up settling on one that'll work out great for you.
W1mo: I enjoyed our games. Wish I would have taken a bit more time to chat/get to know you or what have you.
Kai: 61% =P GG's, amazing Sonic as always. Each set we play I feel that I get a much better understanding of the MU, and I'm glad I'm getting that MU experience from such a solid player. Big props for winning! Agh, I forgot about that 3$ Ft5. Ah well, some other time, I'm sure.
Anti-Yami: Ick about playing bad. I know the feeling. I'm sure it was hard to go from 64 to WiiU. Thanks for the friendlies, really enjoyed them and I'm really floored at how well you play such a large percentage of the cast. I hope to play you again soon, really love getting the MU exp with the diverse roster you use!
The Pac-Man player (I apologize... I don't have the brackets handy and I can't remember your tag): Fun games, and good Pac. You've got some great potential, just work on a few things we mentioned and I'm confident you'll improve super quick. Also thanks for the friendlies.
Archer: What can I say, I got bopped. Sheik's too strong in that MU. No Johns tho, you made a slew of solid reads, baits, and you punished really, really well. Definitely enjoyed the games, and I felt like I learned a lot (in regards to the MU, and some stuff for my own Sheik-In-Progress).
Marvin/Milt: Always good to see you guys. I'll probably catch yall tomorrow, and I look forward to playing, as well as meeting/playing your other brother.
Stock: Egh, tough day at the office man. It happens. I'm sure you'll bounce back and do super well at the next event, you're too good of a player not to. As always, really nice to see you & chat, even if it was kinda brief.
Veen: Always good to see my dubz partner, man. I'll catch you at S.O.S (most likely) for the Sunshine Giggle Brigade, Part II: Electric Boogalo!
Scotty: I wish I'da got to play some friendlies with you. I remember you handling me pretty well at Mute City, and I'd love a chance to get some exp against Wario. Congrats on your great performance as well.
Everyone else... thanks for coming and being cool and nice and chill and stuff. GGs all around. Congrats to the winners of the other games as well (even though I can't recall who won what).
