it happens sometimes with round robin especially with ties where it becomes arbitrary who should make it out based on the TO that runs it.

I know you have been under a lot of work, but is it possible to have the details of the bracket-pools of Brawl?
Also, shoutouts to the stream. Most hyped tournament I've ever watched
Shoutouts to both chileans (zero, nekokatsu) for making it past pools
also shoutouts to zero for getting revenge on richbrown and kakera who eliminated him in APEX 2012 lol

Apex shoutouts:
I had a seriously fun time at this tournament. I got to see a lot of familiar faces, and meet several new ones as well. The Smash communities are always full of terrific people, and it's truly what keeps us old dogs coming back over and over again.
A huge thank you to Alex Strife, Crismas, and all the other staffers for doing a tremendous job putting this event together. Your hard work continues to pay exceptional dividends.
Also deserving of equal thanks are the actual tournament coordinators that kept things running smoothly. Thanks to FullMetal, Maria, and all the others who pitched in and did all the hard work.

I know, I'm not saying that NamiNami and Copycat should have made it to the bracket : I don't how good both of them were compared to RockCrock and Knut. But it turned out they didn't get the chance to have their fate in their hands.I was in this pool, and I agree that it had extremely weird results lol. I thought it was kind of unfair to both NamiNami and Copycat, but at the same time, I wasn't sure if they should've made it out, or if RockCrock/Knut should've made it out. Either way, my pools results shows that this bracket pools system can end up kinda weird =/
Idk what to make of it.
I know, and it always sucks to see the ranking of a pool being decided by the TO. However, in this pool, 2 players were better than the rest (Axe and Vish), and 5 weren't good enough to compete for a spot in the bracket. The 4 remaining guys were RockCrock, NamiNami, Copycat and Knut. Before the losers' finals, that is, right when RockCrock and Knut were promoted to the bracket, all 4 players' results were 1-1. If the two remaining sets (RockCrock vs Knut, Copycat vs NamiNami) had been played, two players would have had a 2-1 score, granting them access to the final bracket. Now, the way the bracket was made made it so that only RockCrock and Knut played their set, the other two being eliminated. That is the real problem.
Had Copycat and NamiNami's initial positions in the bracket been switched, they would have made it to the bracket while playing the exact same sets, just in a different order. That, is what I find disappointing with this system.
Keep in mind that it isn't a criticism toward you as a TO or anything. This double bracket pool system allowed to save a lot of time (while sacrificing the low-level players' experience as competitors, though), and it's an interesting point. My aim with this would rather be to show the flaws of such a system, that is relying too much on the initial seeding in my opinion.

Fun tournament, shoutouts to larry and tinman ****** me :3. also shoutouts to all my homies <3
Most fun I've had in years. Big thanks to my friends for helping me make this.
It's been such a long time since I was able to travel to an event, I'm glad some of you guys still remember me (Armada, Hax, etc.).
Had lots of fun playing dudes like Vectorman, Wobbles, and Taj for the first time; good games y'all. It's unlikely that I'll make another event anytime soon, but as long as the scene is strong I'll eventually show up to something!
And remember Kage, in the hands of a true hero, the King of Evil will be defeated! (aka good games)

Alex I'm sorry you are having so many problems... I loved the stream! GU was happy to help give setups. Shoutout to Genius Gaming for transporting our equipment. I haven't been able to see what is missing or not yet. However if it helps I can work with you to replace some of the equipment you are missing. I know you lost your personal PS3 I would be able to replace it Wiis or Gamecubes SUPER cheap. Call me when you are awake. I'm sure there is a ton for you to do. Hang in there the community will help!
Sure wish I didn't have to forfeit Brawl Singles to get home, but, it is what it is.
At least I won the PM event.

Had a really great time playing smash at apex this year but had an even better time seeing all these awesome people. I dont go out to many majors let alone tournaments anymore so to make it out of pools for melee really put a smile on my face
Shoutouts
Mav: Really great seeing you again man. I enjoy hanging out with you and just shooting the smash bull with you. Fun guy to be around. Shame no Umbra or Melon
Zhea: yoooooo seeing that put a smile on my face. You were really fun to hang out with its a shame we didnt get any friendlies in
Brett: Very fun hanging out with you dude. Def one of the coolest people I met at this tournament. Keep working on that Link and make mow rage some more. That is a true testament to your skill.
mow/max: Was awesome seeing you at this years apex. It really did make the trip that much more worthwhile. Love seeing you man. Also, you are still disgusting with your zelda and fox (and pretty much half of the cast). Hopefully next time ill be able to take a round off ya. PS- Hope you are feeling ok, sorry my bad luck with cars rubbed off on you.
Cactuar/Charles: WTF WE NEVER GOT OUR MATCHES. Is this what its like when doves cry? Either way it was great seeing you again and its a shame we didnt get to talk more but I have a feeling you will be seeing more of me in the coming months.
Hbox/Plup/Over/Bluigi/Straw anyone else at Simons: Was really fun rooming with you guys. All of you were really fun to be around and in general great people. Shoutouts to the fox pillow and shine texts waking me up at 7 in the morning.
Tope: Holy crap dude it was amazing seeing you again. I didnt recognize you at all and felt terrible about it. Hope everything is going well and looking at the results it seems you are still a beast. Keep on keeping on.
Mr. Alex (Johnathan Lugo) Strife: Seing you cry at the end after I told you that you were the real winner of Apex almost made me tear up a bit myself. You really are the star of the show here so thank you for everything. The amount of effort and love you put into this community blows my mind. If everyone had half of what you possess i'm pretty sure the world would be a much better place.
Prog: LL 4 lyfe <3. Was fun meeting you and hanging out with you briefly over the weekend. You are about as charming as you are in real life as you are on stream. Keep doing the amazing work you are doing because with you there would be a huge gaping hole in the community.
Dark Peach: I was that clown you were talking to at the lunch table on day 3 for hours. Had wayyyy too much fun talking smash theory with you. You're a great player and a great dude. I felt lousy not getting out of pools for brawl but seeing your passion towards peach and other low tiers is really pushing me to take my Luigi to the next level. Keep doing what you are doing man its great.
Shoutouts to pool 11- Was fun sticking by you guys for like 5 hours cause our pool was so screwed up.
=THE CALLOUT=Simon: Would have said something in person but I thought AJ had taken care of it. Really weak for not taking responsibility and helping AJ pay for his ticket that you got him. He even drove around your boys not asking for anything in return. The least you could have done was give him his money back considering the sleeping arrangements and everything else. Other than that you seemed like a cool dude so it is what it is.
I know I'm forgetting a few people and for that I apologize.

People literally and figuratively pay money (in some case, multiple hundreds of dollars) in order to see this at apex
edit: but seriously its so refreshing to see a REAL character winning a major tournament. Not just that but it was done with flash too. some of the best matches i saw on stream was from salem. not that it matters coming from me but congrats to salem.

Hey Xyro, of the 39 you listed, only about 29 main mk. That number leaves 22% of the final bracket as metaknight mains. Honestly, that isn't that bad of a statistic. One out of every 5 people use mk. In many fighters, the top character or characters are used by almost 50% of the players as their primary.

Some of the people have weird character usage btw. Nakat surely used more ICs than MK if he even used MK at all. Pretty sure Croi went mainly Wario and RJ mainly Lucario.
Ally also went almost all Snake so I'm very confused as to why that list is showing as if all those people went mostly MK in bracket, cause they didn't.

Time to gauge my improvement. Apex 2012 was my first ever tournament and I was lucky enough to spectate at Apex 2013.
Apex 2012
- Pikachu main
- Did not L-cancel or have knowledge of how to
- Thought that L-canceling made everything on shield safe
- Did not use wavedashing
- Did not take a game off anyone
- Did not JC grab
- Literally only used uair, nair, dair, ftilt, fsmash, and usmash
- Was too afraid to sit down and play people for fear of not being good enough
Apex 2013
- Samus main (funsies with Falcon)
- L-cancel everything(unless I'm autocancelling some Falcon stuff)
- Knowledge of the game increased 10 fold(frame data, goals of the player, playstyles, and much much more.)
- Wavedash with every character I play like it's nobody's business.
- Have taken sets of people in local tournament matches.
- JC grab everything(except with Samus, situation depending)
- I use every move at my disposal each with their own situational purpose
- I have angular attacks and I abuse all of them at will
- Beginnings of shield dropping to remove myself from being trapped on platforms in shield
- I no longer have to watch my character as I play. I know where I am, what my character is doing and have my full undivided attention focused on my opponent.
- Not afraid to sit down with anyone and have a match with them.
- No more negative pre-match thoughts regardless of opponent skill level
- The patience and discipline to play whatever playstyle I need to win regardless if my opponent thinks Samus is g@y or not
- Autocancelling and edgecancelling Falcon stuffs
- Triple and quad knees with Falcon feels soooooooooo good to finally be able to do it one year later
- Studying my opponents habits mid-match.
- Making reads off said habits and punishing them severely
- Conditioning my opponent and controlling their space
Apex 2014
- Make bracket at Apex 2014
- Top 4 at a local
- ???
- ???
A lot of things can change in one year and nothing would have changed about me without the help of the smash community. To all the new players, there are no limits.

Hey were you that Brawl player from Germany that talked to me on Sunday??? I had a winter hat on, tall white guy, gray shirt I think? And my friend had a maroon hoodie and long hair. I think we asked you which countries in Europe had the best melee scene.

Who wants to see the melee pool brackets?
Wondering if it's worth my time to throw them up.

I think the pool system we used this year worked nad saved a LOT of time. I also think we should only take top 2 for next year cause I think only the BEST should make it out. GF shouldnt be played out but the rest should. Either that or make the pools have more people. Things we can look at for next weekend.
