I’m back home!

The tournament was a great experience, mostly because of the people. Still somewhat disappointed that I didn’t make it into the Melee bracket, but that was a combination of a hard third round and not being good enough to get a guaranteed top seed. I think the Europeans in general expected to do better, but I don’t think we have to be ashamed about how we did. It’s a simple statistical fact that a bigger pool of data (players) will have more outliers, added to the fact that we have less tournaments and several characters with (close to) zero representation (most notably Jigglypuff). I wanted to play friendlies and money matches more than I did, though I did get to play almost everyone I wanted to play (sorry Eggm!).

People have mostly been ignoring posts about the trouble the Europeans went through and I suppose I don’t really blame them, that’s just how things are in the smash community. I don’t like relying on other people too much, which you inevitably have to do on a trip like this. I got screwed out of housing a few times (the worst of it was after the tournament and had nothing to do with Plank, mind you), which would have been a disaster if not for some very helpful people. From the active smash scene I’d like to thank Pakman, ChiboSempai and especially Cactuar/Cactaur (:p) for helping me and Utto out in Philadelphia. In NYC we were housed by McFox and Matt, also both from Smashboards, but they weren’t at Pound. I was able to do sightseeing in DC, Philadelphia and NYC and really feel like I’ve made the most of my trip, which wouldn’t have been possible without these people.

Plank: I don’t think you ever got back to this post of mine: http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=9350939&postcount=404
To me this suggests that you’re not interested in resolving things and are comfortable with being on bad terms with people. This happens to be exactly how people described you to me before I even knew you (AKA you have a reputation for being in conflicts a lot). Know that I don’t regret coming to your tournament, I had a good time. It’s just that some things could have been better and I’m disappointed with how you treated that criticism. I’m not out for a flamewar, just send me a PM if you feel like talking about it (not sure if I'll keep checking this thread). If not, I’ve done my part at least. Good job on organizing the biggest Melee tournament ever.

Ajp: I was short that 20 bucks. Sorry it took so long.
WATO: It was great fun rooming/traveling with all of you. Maybe we can do it again.
RaynEX: My boy, its been way too long. I have to come up to GTA to visit you, david and unknown sometime soon. SHAQ ALL DAY.
MikeyL: No worries about teams, I suppose. We had fun. Thats all that matters. Was great seeing you again :)
Toronto guys: <3 bagged milk
Amsah, Zgetto, Faab, Remen, Adam: Ziens in augustus! :D :D :D
Marc: Whats with the hate? haha
P.O.F: I'm more butthurt that you didn't make it into round 3 pools than that I was playing so god awful. Oh well. Thats what I get for not playing for two weeks. Its a shame I was warmed up after that pool too LOL

Marc sorry about everything that happened, if it's any consolation I had to drive 2 hours to get you guys the first time (when we missed you, because there was no communication), and then I picked you guys up from the metro and took you to the venue on Friday (One trip, of 3 or so that I did that day). I did all of this for free so I hope there isn't any bad blood. It was just a busy hectic week and unfortunate things happened.

Joined too!

Now that I remember, one of my trip back to the hotel in the shuttle, Zgetto was sitting on my left right besides me lol. We were like 25+ people inside of that small shuttle and we were pretty much one on another LOL! In there was the Europeans, the PRs, m2k, Vidjo and lot more ppl I don't remember. Ill never forget that trip back to the hotel. BTW Vidjo was sitting on my lap drunk... LOL!

I'd like to second that we blame you for absolutely nothing. As far as I'm concerned we're cool, and I definitely appreciate what you have done for us.

@Kazoo: I think you're the only person who gave me a shout-out. Nice meeting you. :)

Also, I'd like to thank Cactuar, Chibo, McFox, Matt, GOTM and Pakman for what they have done for Marc and me. Oh, and Vidjo, because he is amazing.

Lol loved the movie man! Great interviews and funny stuff. Hopefully you'll be at Apex and Genesis 2 to record more movies. Make it a trilogy lol.
Thanks yo. Also I'll definitely be at Apex 2, and when Genesis 2 gets announced i'll look into that.

Anymore vids of the tournament not including actual matches besides ours? Trying gather all of them for 1 post
You can find all those in this thread, like toward the beginning before he starts posting the matches.
