Michigan Summer Smash Series - Livonia, MI (5/10/14)

[Ori_bro]

Original Thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/may-10-2014-michigan-summer-smash-series-brawl-project-m-pokémon-xy-singles-livonia-mi.353725/

Thanks to everyone who came out, this has been the largest local I've hosted in a while with 60+ unique players (44 Project M entrants!) It blew my mind seeing so many new faces for both Brawl and Project M. Michigan's scene is constantly growing both in skill and attendance wise. First things first, I would like to give big thanks to Xatic and Identity Crisis for being huge help with making Project M run smoothly as possible and WuvS/Dakota for recording matches throughout the day (Sad we had internet issues but oh well). I'm potentially looking into a June/July date, but we will see since I'll be on a major hiatus after SKTAR 3 but time will tell.

[Nominate10]

I really bombed it in PM this time. And to be honest, it was really discouraging. Not sure if I'm going to enter the next couple PM events.


Brawl tho.

 

[SoulPech]

Ksev,

pick up jiggs for nom.

 

[lain]

pimpdaddysupreme THE LEGEND

ksev should just learn the matchup. i will teach you my child.

 

[FF WuvS]

Hey Ori, slight error because I'm picky lol. I actually went Yoshi/Falcon this tourney. Only went Fox once, which resulted in me getting three stocked and it was in pools (and I don't count pools characters or I'd have legit seven characters up there) lol.

Better post from me later~

 

[LOE1]

dayum. maybe i shoulda went LOL

 

[Nominate10]

pimpdaddysupreme THE LEGEND

ksev should just learn the matchup. i will teach you my child.

Can you teach me how to fight Wario while you're at it?

 

[lordhelmet]

dayum. maybe i shoulda went LOL

I used some Falcon in singles. Used Falco in pools but idk if anyone other than me cares.

Lazy shoutouts:

GGs everyone I played. Special shoutouts to Daddy, Juan, and Lain for exciting matches.
Shoutous to TBird for only landing one randy-ass knee on me when-no-opponent-is-even-remotely-close-to-me all tournament.
Shoutouts to West Michigan and EL for underplaying
Shoutouts to TOs for not letting me enter Brawl when Lain comes an hour later and is magically playing sets

 

[Exor]

Good **** dudes, this was my first PM tourney and I even made it into bracket. Something came up so I had to forfeit my losers bracket match and bail early which sucked but I wanna drop a thanks for everyone being so welcoming. I learned a lot and I'm looking forward to attending more.

 

[WizKid911]

Shout outs to everybody that I friendlied, even though I bombed in tournament I still got some sweet **** off. Shout outs to East MI for making me realize how much I hate Falcons knee of devestation lol. Tbird I have heard nothing but good things about you and you are a really cool guy. Also Benji I wish we could have had more friendlies. Loe1 you suck for not being there I wanted to fight you! Nom I wish you were in a better mood because I really wanted to test my samus against your ivy. Dont get discouraged because thats only gonna make things worse. Learning from your mistakes is apart of getting better. If anything this should make you want to re focus. LMT good samus dittos. There are like 3 of us that I have seen in MI. I learned some things from you and I hope you learned from me. Like I said I use things that you dont and you use what I dont. We had some crazy doubles matches too lol. Also start zairing you dork =p
Shout outs to Ori for hosting. I enjoyed myself and the venue was awesome. I will do better next time. I feel like I played how I wanted to play, with an exception of my first bracket but I lack player experience.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

good stuff MI PM

 

[Ori_bro]

Please be sure to claim yourself in the Rankings!

 

[NoLife]

had fun here glad i got to come. i was very happy with how i place (just barely missed 3rd in a tournament again....damn....one of these days ill make money off this game) quick shoutouts to lain for being a fun dubs partner and all the people i played in singles and doubles gg guys might do in depth shoutouts if people do it before me so i can just copy and paste their **** with slight changes

 

[SoulPech]

Shoutouts to TOs for not letting me enter Brawl when Lain comes an hour later and is magically playing sets

The Old School Bias is strong. I agree. It is definitely unfair.

 

[Konrad-QD]

This was a really fun event thanks for hosting it!

Shout-outs to everyone I played, and I'm glad that I am starting to do slightly better at these tourneys.

I still need to beat Ori GGs man though you always get me.

Question: Can anyone house me over night on Friday for the Fundamental Theorem of Smash this coming weekend? I would like to come to one of these tournaments well rested and not coming from a 3 hour drive after getting 3 hours of sleep. I definitely felt my energy level fall as the day went on.

I might upload my set vs LAIN soon to get some feedback on it since I think I was playing pretty well in it.

Thanks to everyone who gave me helpful tips!

 

[Mtank]

Thanks everyone for the games. I was thug, played squirtle, and had zero tech skill. But lain and jono bouta train me so it's chill

 

[Ori_bro]

The Old School Bias is strong. I agree. It is definitely unfair.

That wasnt even the reason why. I had matches already starting and would have had to recreate the entire bracket to a 32 man bracket with 17 people. It would have been a neusance to deal with.

[shwickid222]

Shoutouts to random **** head screaming like an infant during mine and tech chase doubles match. You really need to stop screaming during bracket matches. Its distracting as ****. And ggs to everyone I faced in bracket and friendlies. This tourney I played like johns poop lol

 

[CTL17]

Good job, Jono.

 

[SoulPech]

Shoutouts to random **** head screaming like an infant during mine and tech chase doubles match. You really need to stop screaming during bracket matches. Its distracting as ****.

You need to have JTSM and Pz0 **** talk you while you play. You will throw your controller, the TV, and yourself through a window.

poop

Yes.

My match vs lain's mk. I'm going to post this in the critique thread on the lucario boards but maybe I can get tips from lain here as well? Or anyone else who would like to offer suggestions.

 

[FF WuvS]

Just a little heads up, uploads are starting as I type this. So I will make a seperate video thread for that. But as for my general thoughts of the tourney, I loved it. Felt like SPAU3 to me (which was my favorite tourney) and honestly, this tourney was in my Top 3 favorites. So much fun with so many good and nice people to play. I'm sorry about the internet troubles ._. That really sucked. As for the shoutouts, I'm actually doing some.

1. Lordy - Fun pools matches. Sorry for being a scrub as always. I'm not really sorry because you wouldn't sign my bewbs.
3. Identity Crisis - I asked for 5th and you got 3rd. Good job bbyckz. Always fun to see you around~
4. Jono - Super fun matches! Good games. I believe you were trying to make me more nervous by saying you were just as nervous haha.
5. Benji - White DK is definitely best DK, esepcially on Skyloft. Good games though, I want/need to come to West MI for a P:M tourney.
5. fZk - Fun money match. Sorry I super scrubbed it up game one, but honestly, do you expected much out of me?
7. WuvS - For quitting Smash a bit ago, you're pretty ok. I'm proud, son.
9. Daddy's Kisses - GGs in bracket. Super nice Mewtwo, I guess it's mostly the teleporting shenanigans that really hinder you since easy to predict. Though, you did beat my ass in the MM lol. Otherwise, super solid Mewtwo.
9. Xatic - We need to go to more tourneys because we're ******** LOL
13. Nom - Man, come out. Don't let me outplace you. You are so much better then this.
13. Schwick - Ganon is too scary, seriously. Though, I noticed that both you and Daddy's Kisses took me to GHZ and I somehow got off incredibly. I think you're helping me find a new CP haha. Good games, super fun Ganon to face :3
13. LuigiMasterTae - You have the most chill Luigi I have ever faced, that was crazy lol. GGs :3
13. Thug - See you 2-0 a lot of people in pools had me scared to play you. You got a good Squirtle, I guess knowing the techs of Squirtle and whatnot helped. GGs though! :3
17. Tbird - Seems like you had a tough bracket for you be this far down D: Sorry to hear that QQ
17. Tech_Chase - Ghey
17. Ksev - The bracket link lies, it was 2-1, not 2-0. Feel like I should point that out lol. I finally beat you after like two years roflll. Good games, stop making me panic xD
17. Scala - BUDDY <333 It was great teaming with you! Hope to team with you in the future, people complimented me on us afterwords.

Love you guys (sometimes.) Can't wait for the next tourney I go to

 

[W.C.N]

Don't listen to Ori, he added me(the 16th person) after singles matches were called and running, at the least he should have told you to ask me if I'd drop out for you which I very easily would have and we both would have left with more money that day

 

[Solharath]

Lordy putting in hella work.

 

[SoulPech]

Drunk bitties for trying to give me a quickie in the bathroom at BDubs.

wtf? I GOTTA know about this.

 

[FF WuvS]

Well, now I can't tell you since you have to know c;

Video thread coming later today (though there are videos up, I want more up lol.)

 

[lordhelmet]

Don't take any of my callouts on the boards seriously. It's ok to laugh, people. I didn't really care for Brawl singles. I did want to enter doubles but our car was too late ;(

Hype for videos. I can't wait to see how my 3rd stock ended in the final game of doubles.

So if people actually read this, thoughts on my Yoshi and if I should try to improve or just keep doing what I do would be much appreciated! Thank youuu~

Also, this set kind of blew up and Tumblr made gifs.

 

[lordhelmet]

Does it take some time for the ranking points to be updated?

Thnx for uploading Wuvs. If you could upload GFs for singles and doubles, I would be a very happy man.

how come it blew up? Lol. Because we both went vaxk kn forth on combos lol

 

[WizKid911]

Awwww why you gotta do that to my boy? Honesty mike you did get destroyed but it was lack of an awesome yoshi MU knowledge. Wuvs I definately want to fight your yoshi next time around. I tried to play yoshi back in melee but I would just kill myself all the time lol

 

[shwickid222]

I mean I didn't get destroyed if you watch it. Just got 2 stocked on my 2nd match. I kept bringing it back. Destroyed would be 2 stocked and 4 stocked every match lmao. First game came down to the wire. Anyways he was saying that because of the views on that video (if I'm correct)
