Shoutouts:
First of all thanks for the guys running AL and Dr. X in specific for running the tournament, smash never gets anywhere until somebody is willing to make the time and work commitment to giving everyone else a chance to meet up and smash. I can't wait for the next one that I can attend, let's try and get some more people from around the surrounding region as well!
@
JamesBJames: GG's in GF and in brackets, when you pulled that bomb I thought I was done for XD. You're an absolutely amazing smasher and one of the nicest and most respectful guys I've met in a long time, I really enjoyed laughing with you during GF and even during friendlies. I'm almost certain that by the next time we meet, you'll be on the higher ground (hoping my Nair won't get nerfed by then
)
@
Fumbles: Thanks for being a bro in teams, it always love the chance to team with somebody new at tourneys and you were so awesome and willing to give me a great partner. GG's on the WF matches as well, just be sure to trust yourself more. You have such an amazing play style, don't let the fact that you lost one game deter you from trying again with the same character. A stage counter pick, or even just the restart of a match can totally change the outcome of an entire set. I can't wait to see how good you get over the summer. Keep up you're IC's and that MK, they are by far your best and that MK will get me one day soon. (Also I want a rematch in those DK dittos)
@
SoulPech: Nice job that day, sorry we didn't really get to play that much outside of the crew battles. If you're still wanting to team the next time we are both at a tourney, I'd totally be up for it :D.

: GG's, you've single handedly made me a lot more scared of what TL can do, I'm definitely going to take a lot of the stuff you taught me back to CO when I have to fight all of these link mains
. Thanks for being really respectful and kind as well, it really meant a lot for somebody who was against me to still have respect for me. Good luck over the summer, and I'll be ready for some more when I get back! (also plz don't nerf Nair D

: Sorry we didn't get to play more friendlies and that we didn't meet in bracket :/. Next time we meet up I'll make it up to you for sure! btw, keep that squirtle up, some of the stuff you showed my I don't want any of when I'm fighting you next
@
sneakytako: You've made me hate MK, and it only took one match too. GG's for that MM and in the crew as well you literally won the day for us
@
Doctor X
: Thanks again for hosting and for being a leader among the Cinci guys. Sorry we didn't get to play much (well any really) but I'll make it up to you if I get a chance to come to a fight night sometime.
@
KingChaos
: You've got a sweet Samus bro, like, really sweet. Just play a few more matches against different people and you'll know exactly what to do. I can see you going far :D
@
Rizner
: I don't think you're ever going to let me live down losing that MM after the tourney
. GG's in that one though, you beat me fair and square :D. Also sweet stuff in the crew battle, if you didn't take 2 of Hanky's stocks we would have been in serious trouble
. Also thanks for the few chats that we had, they were a nice break away from the action and you're a great guy. I'll get my revenge on you someday, till then, keep it up!
@
Village Mascot: Nice job in the tourney, though I'm rather disappointed you and Rizner didn't do double Kirby in dubs
. You're a real charismatic guy, and I enjoyed being around you. Can't wait to see what you will have done over the summer when I get back.
@
sheNanagans: Sorry we didn't get to play any more, but GG's nonetheless (I'll need to be more careful to not fly over you so much
). Also smash ball fights were too hype, that was amazing :D. Not sure when I'll see you next, but hopefully when I get the chance to go up to one of Peppy's Monthlies again.
@
2-Tone
: GG's in bracket, you hold the key of how to combo the crap out of me so never forget that! Hope I get to meet roy the boy again someday :D
@
Russ4312: Thanks for giving us all of your recording equipment and doing commentary. Just keep it up and you'll do just fine! It's been a pleasure to get to know you over the last few weeks. GL on your speed running as well, hope you get into AGDQ next year as well!
@
PeppyWil: Gotta work on that Ganny grunt, I expect it to be much more manly by the time I get back
. Thanks for doing the commentary and being just generally an awesome guy. I'll definitely try to make as many of your monthlies as I can, just get better internet so we can stream
@Starwind: Thanks for the friendlies, it was nice to get to meet you, just stick to a character and you should be just fine :D
@
AlfaStryke: Nice job competing in literally everything they had there. You're a super nice guy and I'm sad that I can't make it out to your birthday bash, but who knows, as long as we got one dragon/dinosuar there it should be all good!
I know I forgot people
. GG's to everyone I didn't mention and I'll make a better effort next time to remember all of you guys
Thanks also to all of my Miami friends that have driven me places and practiced with me. It really is nice to have some people that I can just relax and play smash with.
Also thanks to everyone who drove really far to get here, I'll return the favor someday!
Finally: Thanks to everybody who came out, I've never been so relaxed and had so much fun at a smash tourney ever. You are all amazing people and I can't wait to see how far we can take the OH crew! See you all again next semester (I'll be back with more hats)!
