Hey guys, I wanted to give a speech before the tourney but just said **** it, and I would post it here.
-------------------------------------
My name is Lewis AKA Havox.
It is my honor to be house host of one of the largest tournaments in the history of New Mexico. And as such, being a dedicated perfectionist, I find it my duty to try and make this tournament great. When the question arises, or you think back to yourself, ‘what was the funnest(note on funnest) tournament I ever attended, or one of the best put together(which I hope we did good)?’ I want that to be HOH.
One question I found myself asking many times is why did any of us continue to play this game? In the long year or so before wavedashing was discovered in…Do you really think I know that? Anyway, when ever it was discovered, before professional level of play as we know it had been forged into it is today, we thought we had seen it all. 100% of us all thought at one point or another that we were invincible at the game, because we usually beat the only people we played with. As we grew to the more mystified and unexplored tiers of heightened play and endless possibilities, we began to see amazing things.
100% percent of us have done incredible things, fourstock comeback for the win! Shine for the win, spike for the win, fair or u-air or tilt of any direction for the win, or in this case mindgame for the win. 100% percent of us have been the victim of an eternity of mind games. And 100% of us think we have mind games. When you guys realize that you can never truly expect your opponent to do the same thing every time, you open up yourself to yet another assault of self inflicted mindgames
.
This very gathering is a mind game to me, on so many tiers. I never ever thought that I would be sitting her looking at all of you. Pro’s in my house. I am pretty sure most of you saw my post in the thread when I first saw Forward saying he would come. I flipped ****. We play this game to see what others do to one another, and what we do to others. But the real reason we continue to play this game, is gatherings like these. You guys, the people we smash with, make this game at its greatest, so much better. I thought I would be seeing New Mexico players attend this—never could I consider the possibility of so many showing. I thank you all for attending the Halls of Havoc I.
Now, with that out of the way, I would like to make shoutouts to everybody in specific...but due to host etiquite--I waited until everybody was there, and never got sleep from thurday night till saturday night, so all the names and faces split and blur for the most part--So my general end shoutout is as follows
I thank everybody for attending, even though we had a lot less room than we would have liked at some points, we did it, and it was the the greatest weekend I have ever had. If I protected or replaced something of yours (I.E. towel or controller) your welcome, I wanted to make sure this was something that you guys did not leave with dissapointment. And as per, my shoutouts are almost exactly the same as Twin @.
----- I hope that my goals in my speech were reached, as I do wish that this tournament will stand out in the minds of everyone that attended, because it sure as **** will in mine.
----AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT-------- This goes out to Chris AKA CAPTIAN MIDDLE FINGER HOOK!!!
even though he technically wont see this unless he gets on here, I want do draw this attention of humble thanks to him. He stood all day throughout the tourney, and helped it run as smoothley as possible. though he was silent and did not even play the game with us, a great deal of thanks goes to him.
