I hope you don't get an infraction for such a highly intelligent and well written post that inspires men to true greatness and brings world peace.

Shadowclaw2!!! The venue wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, so I couldn't show the new trailer. :(

Sean. Nice job at OC3. Tony, you too. Not third, but not bad. :)

Many thanks for the greatness you brought to AZ. If you still have it in you, hope to see you in Brawl.

Where are you at now, Sean? Coming back to AZ? Stickin' around for Evo West? I think it's been, like, 8 months since I've seen you guys.

No love for me.

Although AZ got seriously screwed from the brackets: This was MY OC3 experience for singles.

Pools play out as normally, thankfully, but I lose to Edreese and make violently loud angry noises. I apologize for them later, but I'm really not sorry. Except that I am.

My bracket is the fun part:

First round - Win against Mr. PBody.

Second round - Lose to M2K. All still going to plan, I guess.

Third round - Fighting... Trevyn. Wait, what the hell? Biggest tournament of ever and I play an AZ'er 3rd round? I manage to win and eliminate him and I'm really not too happy about it.
Fourth round - Win against DSF. Awesome, and kind of a lift from playing Trevyn.

Fifth round - Win against Omar. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NOT ANOTHER AZ PLAYER. That's the second one, and only my fifth match. A little strange in a 128 man bracket.

Sixth round - Win against DJ Combo. Washington player, good Marth. Hard fight.

Seventh round - Taj. The guy I teamed with, drove with, housed with, practice with constantly. ;LKGJASEHIGUASHDORITHAERLITUHAEL. He gives me the match, but we lie and say I won 2-1 to appease Manacloud who wouldn't let us switch.

Eighth round - Forward. I repeat, slightly paraprashing: s;lkjt;lawkejthLKJTHlwkejrhtgalsdkrjht.JHLAEKJRHTALDKJHGlokjhaelktjh. In eight rounds I play 4 people I know and have played repeatedly in the past. Good times.

Because Tony was good enough to concede to me, he only got 17th place. Because Sean and I played, I got 13th. Because I played against Trevyn early, he gets like 40 or 50 somethingth. And Omar only gets around 30something when he's definitely good enough to make it way higher. Thanks Manacloud for forcing us to stick to the rules and pay massive cash to play people we play all the time. I understand where you're coming from, but t;LQWKHASDKJFBVAOSIDRUHTPAWEI4UTYAOEPIUHGLIZDRUGYOiuh.

Lol, Wobbles. That does suck. It's really too bad. OC3 had the potential to be such an amazing tourney too. And this whole money thing could have been avoided by keeping funds information transparent from the beginning. A shame really...

A lot of us Az guys should go to Super Champ Combo. Tony already put a post on their thread, and I'm already in the process of convincing Alicia ;).

It's not for another 2 months, isn't that far, and from what I hear, Neal is a way better host than Manacloud...

Pull out the long one, Taj!

Edit: I just read Sean's shoutout for the OC3 thread and read that he was retiring. This saddens me, but I know we must all do it someday. It's like watching Cal Ripken Jr. retire. Sean, you are my idol, son. I hope you don't give up Smash all together because you are truly the best. Good luck in whatever you want to do. We all know you can do it.

First tourney i went to I dominated with link! it was like a 30 man tourney, then I went to OC2 thinking I was the ****, and well lets just say I didnt do that well >.> I got 4 stocked twice by Taj's mewtwo, it was seriously a depressing day, (I thought Mewtwo sucked balls) It was later I found out that Taj was a pro Mewtwo player, seeing as he was fighting ken in the Semi-finals.
That made me laugh.

And then I found this when I was looking at Yoshi combo vids.

So if Taj is the easiest.... looks like I have some work to do then huh?:laugh:

Oh and since everyone here seems to be on first name basis, I'm Andrew

Hey anyone going to SCC:

If Alicia and I were to hypothetically get a plane ride out to Ontario Airport, would anyone who is driving be able to give us a hand in getting to/from our hotel and the venue. The hotels we're looking at are about 2.5 miles away from the venue, not far at all, but perhaps out of walking distance. Also, maybe to/from the airport (Ontario Int'l) which is about 20 miles away. (According to nealdt: it's 25 minutes away)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes Shiv, we need to find a place. You guys wanna play tomorrow? Manny's place? I'm sure he's cool with it.

Oakie: Thanks for the offer. I'll know soon on exactly what/where we'll be.

Manny's place...that's forever away. I was hoping to stay in E. Mesa. Who do we have lined up?

Tony
Blank
You
Me
Manny, right?

That's not a lot, and I'm not even sure if I can go. Greg, Brad, maybe you guys want to go? But, I guess you'd be going far out of your way to pick me up.

Also, what time are we looking at? Do you want to make this a tournament? I always prefer that. But then, this is very last-minute and minimal.

Can you give me the address?

I don't know if there's anyone between you and Manny that we could go to. For the record, I'm up in northern Phoenix, but you have to drive a ways to play anyone around here.

Do you drive yet Shiv?

Manny's holding a tournament next weekend, so this time would be better off as just a smashfest.

Oh, and yes, Light and Dark I'm sure will come. They always come and often drive considerable distances to do so.

K well we can't do anything tomorrow at my place since I am staying at the Downtown Phoenix Hyatt on Friday Night through Sunday Morning, for work related praising and free food.

Also I am going to SunSplash or Big Surf this Sunday, and who ever wants to join me and some family and friends you are more than welcomed. Just call me. My number is everywhere so go look for it.

I'm not sure when I said it, but remember when I said I may have to resort to violance to get into the top 10... what do you think made forward want to retire?

It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

We're still planning on getting together. There's like 8 people so far. We just need a place to go since Manny's gonna be gone.

I'd offer, but I'm really far out of the way. Surely there is a house we can go to. Or what about your school campus Trent? As usual, I can bring a TV if needed.

Anyone know where that is?
