MELEE-FC: Your Pool Predictions Were Wrong. See first post for R2 Pools!

[Grinin]

**** yeah jake13 beat g$ in pool 14

 

[Bones0]

Yo, can SOMEONE get the ****ing stream fixed? Loads of people are experiencing lag issues. Peef has explained multiple times that they just need to lower the bitrate and that it won't affect quality, but no one currently running the stream setup seems to care that 15% of the community is incapable of watching the tournament.

 

[KishSquared]

Hey Bones,

KishPrime here. We'll look into it tomorrow and see if we can make some adjustments. We had an issue today with some of the internet setup that I think got resolved by around 3 PM, but not sure if that's the case or not. I'll run it by them.

In any case:

[SinisterB]

i'd like to see that

It isn't really internet related more than it is related to the settings being used on the stream itself. I would just talk to Peef directly via PM or w/e and I'm sure he can help you real quick.

 

[Wake]

I hope Cosmo does really well.

 

[Rostigalen]

Axe and -Chad- as top seeds in pool 6, legit. Looking forward to Pika dittos.

 

[Froggy]

I hope Cosmo does really well.

This, I honestly think he could be the highest playing midwest player at this. I didn't know until today that he was going to this, so I'm excited about the tourney all of a sudden(still sucks Dart didn't attend though).

[DerfMidWest]

Wobbles and Trail?
lol.

 

[Ambix]

round 2 pools was probably the worst playing i've ever done in my life. -__-

I'm going to go get drunk and cry now.

 

[The Good Doctor]

I'm going to go get drunk and cry now.

My match against Kelly was for me. Being my first multi day tournament I underestimated the mental toughness needed to play Melee

 

[Divinokage]

I actually got 4th in my 2nd round of pools, whoops. =( But I made top 8. =D

 

[eighteenspikes]

lol, this

 

[The Good Doctor]

lol, this

That 2nd game man...
=/

 

[LittleBoyLarry]

Hey Kish, I don't know if anyone has suggested this to you yet but, could you make a Top 10 Combos video just like how they did at Big House? :O

 

[Bones0]

Or a combo video.

Spoiler

Just for Darkrain.

 

[kd-]

A Top 10 or just an FC Combo video would be awesome. Also awesome would be a "Moments" video like Evo's ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHC8Kbum-bk ) or the (edit: Pound 5) Montage ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2UQWQgpU4E ). Please please PLEASE have some footage for this, I would love it :]

Spoiler

Just for Darkrain.

Watching the black and white, slow-mo replay of Darkrain's combo on LE in between Darkrain's sets on the stream was amazing. If Darkrain's sets in Top 8 are as good as everyone says they are, a Darkrain FC Combo video would be mind blowing.

 

[Bones0]

Hey guys, look what I found:

Isn't the only one you've beaten Mango and at one tournament? And since then hasn't he beaten you using Link? You've had one amazing tournament, and it's been the peak of your career, and since then you have not been repeat such success in tournament. I don't even expect you to get top 8 at FC.

You're good, but not good enough for top 10.

 

[Divinokage]

Well you look at that! Where you at, Froggy!? I can handle myself just fine vs top players. =) But i understand how most people know Ganon sucks so they don't expect too much from him. I even almost took Mango's Fox to game 5, I can do better even now!

 

[Froggy]

*sigh* fine. I accept that I don't know everything about this game.

 

[AXE 09]

Froggy I remember you also saying that I have already peaked and reached my full potential, and you don't see me placing at the top anymore.

I have definitely gotten better and I will continue to rise. I'm nowhere close to my full potential.

 

[Bones0]

Froggy exposed.

 

[DoH]

I love how Kage gets like 7th at Canadian tournaments and 5th at American ones.

And by love I mean omg America learn how to fight Ganon

 

[Divinokage]

Everyone knows how to fight Ganon just not me. =P

As for Canada, I mean these guys trained me. Of course they would know every single trick I do. Impulse 7th with like 70 people, FC an actual legit 5th with 170 people. I do not understand this game anymore.

DoH, you say that but you lost to me in a MM and pool at G2. (J/k) Though you definitely know the matchup very well from what I've experienced. And you played very well in teams too, so that's legit as well.

 

[DoH]

I have no idea how to fight ganon and I did well against you who knows how to fight peach. Proof that Ganon is awful

 

[Wake]

America likes running into spaced fairs and CC wizard's feet.

 

[KishPrime]

I don't know how to make videos.

Also Kage's set with Mango really was awesome...short of an unfortunate suicide he actually did have a shot during that set.

 

[Juggleguy]

I volunteer to make a top 10 plays video for FC if you guys want me to. Omnigamer/VGBootCamp are probably better at making videos than I am, but I have the time and motivation to do it (especially since Darkrain will be prominently featured =P)

Here are the top 10 plays videos that I made with Reneblade, for SMYM12 and for The Big House, if anyone hasn't seen em and wants to provide input:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY3_daIPp1s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZaIE8122fk

 

[Strong Badam]

just make a darkrain combo video with footage exclusively from FC

 

[Bones0]

Yesssss, Juggleguy! You don't have to do commentary over them (unless you really want to I guess).

 

[KishPrime]

Do it dude.

 

[Divinokage]

Omg Darkrain is going to get so many spots lmao. For FC you should probably make Top 15-20 plays because the Top 8 final pools, there were a crapton of matches.

 

[baka4moé]

yea juggleguy that would be amazing! if possible top 15-20 would be great cause there was a lot of good material, but top 10 is good too cuz then u really get the good good stuff only.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I love how Kage gets like 7th at Canadian tournaments and 5th at American ones.

And by love I mean omg America learn how to fight Ganon

To be fair, Ganon mains make it kinda hard by not being bad at this game. And killing everything at 50. But I'm bad vs Ganon, so meh.

He does still suck, though.

 

[Divinokage]

At full potential, I believe he can be as good as Falcon.

 

[Wake]

And with that statement, Kage, this thread is done.

 

[Bones0]

Jiggs used to be mid tier too.

 

[leffen]

inb4 more mediocre falcon combos thats been done 1038108310times get "top10" spots

please
