Enjoy my wall of text (it's been a while, gotta make up for it for not doing it last tourney):
My overall thoughts about the tournament:
Smash Boost - A tournament that finished at the most earliest time ever and was a lot of fun too! Splendid.
I can't believe it became very close to having a very successful tournament like this, be
cancelled. It's good to see that the thumbs up were given in the end, as well as some other event occurred as well, which had non-UNSW students, which was definitely great for us as well.
Having my Sunday plans
cancelled postponed, I was able to make the Smash BOOST tournament after all, and it was very nice to see everyone again, especially since everyone wasn't expecting me
I'm glad I could make it in the end, heh it definitely would have been the first tourney I'd miss as well. Especially with my placings, which really really surprised me, I'm definitely glad I made it.
I'm glad to see that at this tournament there were a ton of new faces (most of them I haven't met before) as well, and hopefully all of them will be making a return, looking forward to having some matches with you guys again.
It's great to see that the strictness of friendlies was definitely enforced, and when the opportunity for friendlies arised, that people happily ceased their matches as soon as it was demanded.
The tournament ran really smoothly, and according to schedule, it was great to see people heading to the TVs for their matches right away, and that we never really had to wait long for any matches.
I think the room for the tournament is a great one too, it's very spacious, plenty of chairs, and considering the amount of TVs, there was plenty of room for more TVs! That was totally awesome, I would like to have another tournament there again. ^_^ A
projectile projector is always great as well, not to mention there was a microphone available as well, so many resources, which definitely assists tournaments a lot.
Overall, I think the tournament was great success, and I definitely enjoyed it a lot - the fact that the tournament ran smoothly, and on schedule, was a big big help.
Some Pros & Cons (although some cons are inevitable, and usually aren't that bad, I just decided to include them to sorta even things out lol)
Pros:
- Tournament ran smoothly
- Everyone followed instructions
- Spacious room
- A lot of **** fun
- Tournament finished early
Cons:
- Single Elimination for Doubles (considering the time constraint though, it's alright)
- Not all players could make the tournament
- Stu left early
- Having to ring to gain entry (but that's understandable so it's okay, doesn't mean it's cool having to ring over and over though xD)
- 'TV 1' was a little *****y at the start
Okey dokey shoutouts (very short this time though, i'm so tired lol)
Chad - I don't think I've had a match with you yet huh (unless you count doubles matches lol), hopefully we can some time, as from what I can tell from the doubles so far, you're definitely good, it's just too bad that it was only a single elim for doubles (maybe the team name jinxed it
). Cheers for taking the picture!
Dedu - Heyy Stuey great to see you again! Aww shame you left so early though? Why? Oh well, see you next time yeah?
Fork - Simon, vsing you is always awesome in my books. Our matches are always close, intense, and they can always go one way or the other. Same to previous tournaments, this one is no exception, where I definitely had a lot of epic matches with you. We must get more matches in! ^_^
Gords/MMA - Hey great to see you guys again! I never seem to really get the chance to vs you guys often huh? Although Simon I'm glad I got to vs you a couple of times today, that was sweet, since we've never really had a match before. Gords, you did pretty good today, nice surprise spike, especially at the percentage you were at, heh, all or nothing eh?
IGIF - lol IGIF you crack me up man =D it's great to see you again. I'll have to vs you again at Melee some time in the future, it's been a while, it's a shame you didn't get into the scene earlier, but heyy, you know what they say, it's better late than never!
Kulla - What can I say Simon, with the many impressive things you pulled off, you definitely deserved 1st place. You're very consistent, and you know how to make a comeback, not to mention all the other awesome things you pulled off (too many to list). I'm pretty happy to have matches like that against you, I honestly didn't think I'd get so far... Great to see you again! NOO! Don't smoke! Oh hey, send me that picture you took of me yeah? :D
Luke - hey man, great matches today, shame the 1st one ended with a suicide for you (although I just remembered now I suicided myself, so that makes it even), and impressive comeback for the 2nd match, that was really close. It's a shame you didn't place higher, because I definitely think you're very very good. I'd be interested in an ACT tourney as well, keep us up to date!
Sylvan/Slax - Hey guys! Nice to meet you! You guys did pretty good at the tournament as well, hopefully you guys will be at the next tournaments yeah? Well played guys!
ZNemesis - Haha, cheers for everything man. Thanks for teaming up with me as well! What can I say, it was very fun, shame you didn't get Top 8, but you were **** close, but don't worry these things happen, there's always the next one. Indeed.
Hmm I seem to have left a lot of people out, blah >_<
