Mr Bushido - Yo you're the ****ing man lol. It was nice to see you again. Your fox is nuts. I'm so used to defensive foxes, but you don't give a ****. You just rush in balls deep lol it really caught me off guard. You're a really great player and I hope we play again soon. SOLID DK. Good games buddy.
M2K- Sorry for not splitting..
My main goal at this tournament was to beat you, I couldn't give up the one chance I had to finally play you. Your Kirby is hella good bro. You have some of the best recovering and edge guarding i've ever played against. I remember you killed my pika at like 30 damage or something one stock and i was just thinking like, "lol this ****ing guy, only m2k would find a way to gimp pika." If you committed time to 64 you could be one of the BEST ever. I know you don't like it as much as the other games, but once you get used to it, it's the best game in the world. ^_^ It's nice to see you entering (and doing well in) 64 tourneys. GGs man!
CC- Yo wtf you were mad good lol. You deserved to win our set, you outplayed me mentally. When i lost first game i got super nervous and lost my cool, but you stayed calm the whole time. I had like a 3 stock lead game 2 and you managed to come back and win. It's not easy to do that, you definitely impressed me. GGs in both winners and losers. It was nice meeting you dude.
Sextc- lol this ****ing guy. Yo you're actually hilarious. I definitely had a blast hanging out with you, you're mad chill. I don't know if i ever played you seriously (lol wtf who do you even main) but i remember getting ***** by your link. TOO GOOD. It was nice meeting you, GGs dude.
Fireblaster - GGs as always STEVE. You've gotten a lot better since we've last played in tourney. Fun car ride. That music was too funny lololololol. I still laugh just thinking about it. I hope to see you at the upcoming NJ tourneys even though you said that you weren't interested in going. You're one of my favorite smashers. Good games as always man.
Derek- Solid Pika. You were so closed to beating m2k lol that would have been so ****ing hype. Everybody was rooting for you, get him next time! You're a hella nice guy and i enjoyed our tourney set. It was nice meeting you, good games.
Kill Master- You're hella awesome dude. You were mad funny and it was a pleasure to meet and play with you. Thanks for running 64 and being an all around great TO. Hopefully you TO more 64 events in the future, i'll definitely try and make it. GGs!
Frantix - Your pika was so good lol what the hell. You adapted so well to my play style and you're an animal on peaches castle aha. You play really smart, you really impressed me man! Keep up the good work. GGs.
WHAT! - thanks for the FREE win lol. Wish you could have stayed around so we could have played. Next time for sure!
Nyoouber - Yo wtf did you enter as i can't find your name in the bracket lol. Anyway, it was nice meeting you. You're a really chill dude and i enjoyed hanging out with you. We didn't play a lot of friendlies, i think we played like 1 or 2 right? wtf. Lets play more next time, GGs.
-------------------
NOW THEN. I feel like I owe you guys some sort of explanation for going HIGH tier LOLOLOL.
Some of the quotes may be slightly off, but here's pretty much what happened. I had no intentions of using Pika or Kirby. I felt like using falcon in the tourney, so that's what i did lol. I went all falcon in winners and the first 2 rounds of losers. Zenyore found out that I lost to CC really early in winners and was like, "Kero, wtf lol. I wanted to play you in GF. Stop ****ing around." So I was all like, "yeah, I wanted to play you too. But I've already locked in falcon and my falcon is kind of getting stomped lmao so idk if thats gonna happen." He kept asking me to stop bull****ting and play my BEST but I kept turning him down. I told him that I was staying falcon and that I wouldn't go back on my word. Then he said something really important.
He asked me, "do you remember what you said to M2K a few months ago?" I said that I didn't. He answered, "you told M2K that you were gonna beat him. You said that he was lucky you guys hadn't played in tourney and that it was your job to defend the north east from his tyranny."
M2K wasn't my main objective at the tournament, my main objective was placing well with Falcon. But when Zenyore quoted what I said to M2K, it made me think. I had an epiphany: people change. Why didn't I care about beating M2K anymore? Wouldn't I be going back on my word? Yes. But I didn't care. I didn't care about being M2K because I simply changed my mind. That's all there is to it. I had a different goal: I wanted to do well with falcon. M2K didn't matter to me anymore, so I asked myself, "well, why am I using falcon? I thought of one thing:
There's nothing special about me as a player. I'm just an ordinary top-tier-main and if I quit the game right now I'd bet that my matches would never be watched ever again. I know it sounds stupid, but one day I want to be someone's favorite player. I want people to get excited if they hear that I'm playing a match. I want people to actually enjoy watching me play. How can I hope for something like that if I don't even like watching myself play? I hate me as a player. I'm not exciting or cool or interesting at all. If I was watching one of my tournament matches from any of your points of views, I sure as hell wouldn't root for me.
I've become so obsessed with winning lately that I've lost touch of what makes this game beautiful: being yourself. This game is an art to me. I look at each stage as a canvas, and although I'm only limited to 12 different colors of paint, there are an infinite number of things I can create.
I hadn't used Pika or Kirby at the tournament because I was playing for other people. I was focused on being an exciting player. I was focused on being artsy. I was focused on what people thought of me. My number one goal in this game is to be the best. I put aside my goal so that I could be "cool." That's when I made up my mind.
I decided to play my best. I decided that I was going to beat M2K in the name of all of my friends that he's defeated. I decided that I was going to beat every single person in losers and then beat Zenyore in GF. I told people that Zenyore was the one that convinced me to try, but that's not true. I didn't do it for him. I did it for me.
There's nothing more important to me than my goal, it means everything to me. The second I decided to conform to this community's ridiculous desires I became weak. Being "cool" is a distraction and being "special" is nothing more than a waste of time. I will no longer let anything stand in the way of my goal. I'm done trying to be fancy or flashy. That's not art. True art is being able to use a character efficiently. True art is being able to use a character to it's maximum potential. True art is being able to dominate every single other player in the world. I'm sorry I couldn't be the Hero I said I would be, but I no longer care what you guys think of me or the way I play. If that makes me the bad guy, then so be it. I'm going to be the greatest player of all time and I'm going to do it my way.
Aint nobody give a **** about no Subaru.
