Thanks everyone for coming, pretty good turn out for portland, Minh NICE matches! Russel nice friendlies, you know what to do now so Im prolly screwed. Juce quit using Marth against me. Tommy relax before and during tournaments your way better than people think you are.
Fun tourney, glad we happened to be in Portland at that time.
And, yeah... well, the only way I can relax is not caring and that's about as bad. Russel has been incredible at teaching a good player mentality. Everyone who came to Jesse's had a mini tournament to see how things went after we all got in a positive mood and I managed to win the cash prize. Everyone learned a few things from him, he's even motivated Jesse into a better mindset. I have to say he has really impressed me in a number of ways. Him and Shin are my fav smashers at the moment.

t1mmy and Chris are doing tech practice now.
Nobody is telling racist jokes anymore.

Put me on the semi confirmed list for next tournament!

I should be able to go, and I plan on going, however my mom has to get an operation and may not be able to do anything, thus I would lack a ride, and would probably have to stay home anyway.

Binx, work on getting Tio to run on your comp. That way we can have proper seeding and I don't have to play against Cmin first round. But I didn't have to play against t0mmy, so I'm still very happy how things turned out. Ha ha.

Thanks for hosting the tourney and letting us eat your chips. Good seeing you Portlanders at another Bi-Weekly.

Jesse - thanks for letting us crash at your place.

Russel - you're awesome.

BC - Most Technical in The World. You should have recorded stuffs for your vid.

Venus Gospel - don't worry about the snag in housing. I wanted to let you know you're cool for trying to help even if your semi-roommate messed things up. We made it to the tourney so all's good.
Roy "Reno" - I found out the hard way your Shiek is hard to grab. GGs, watch out for FD. You've motivated me to practice up my Fox again, always a good sign of a good fight. Hope to see you again next time you're in Portland.

Binx, Jank, Gage, Minh - Thanks for the games. Always a pleasure seeing you guys at tournies.

o.o

so...I recently had a friend head up to the portland kombat tournaments (his name was roy, he's really cocky and has a blonde ponytail). He mentioned that you guys might be willing to help me in a ride situation on this coming weekend from Portland to Eugene/back for some smash time?

I know it's strange request, though I'd love to smash w/ you guys if the chance arose. ^_^

i'll check back later

Discussion for the next Eugene Weekly will be held at the OSM topic, I'll make a post about it there.

Portland Kombat discussion here.
When's the next big PK? Russel has helped me learn how to focus on actually playing instead of not playing in tournaments, so I need to test out how I play.

And I didn't think Roy was cocky. I thought he was really nice too. I hope to see him and all the other Nevada smashers soon.

Yeah, Roy wasn't cocky, but he had determination and self-confidence, both are good traits for a smasher. I enjoyed playing with him and I'm looking forward to meeting you Hitori.

I live near the portland area and I wanted to know if these events are mostly just for the professional players or if it's for everyone. I think I saw a motto saying something along the lines of helping people improve. I don't consider myself a very great smasher right now, but I'm practicing moves and stuff right now, I just don't have much of an outlet for playing. Now, I doubt I'd be able to participate in tournaments, but just watching people compete and a playing friendly here and there would probably help me improve.

All of OR tournaments are for everyone, but everyone who goes usually plays to improve in a professional manner, so anyone new to the scene will probably get destroyed. But that's happened to all the good players, the ones who stick around after the beating get a whole lot better.
So, yeah, hope to see you at an event.

People are acutally encouraged to compete in tournaments. It doesn't matter how good you are or even how bad you are, or if your even from this state. Just come on in to a tournament and play. Just Remember.

You guys are forgetting the important matter of helping Hitori with a ride from Portland to Eugene.
Maybe we'll have to go up there for the day and bring him back with us?
That'd be the best, because then we'd attend a PK in addition to picking him up. I'm just not sure how it'll work out, so hopefully someone from Portland can bring him down to the Eugene Weekly?

Tommy,

I'm in Portland from tonite to sunday night, and will try to check back on this thread every day if anyone is up for some smash in Portland. o.o
strange request, i know. sorry about the mix up, it's entirely my fault. OTL

if nothing comes up this weekend, I'll try to talk the reno kids into coming up for the PDX tourney on 1/26. Nothing like a trip up north to end winter break. =D

edit: >_< sorry, for some reason I thought the tourney was on Sunday, not saturday. I can definitely make it if I can find a ride down/back. o.o

Guys I have plans saturday until 3pm so the tournament will have to start then, if someone else can host and wants to start it earlier that's fine, but I already had made a promise and I can't miss it, please don't give me crap I can still host it just has to wait 2 or 3 hours.

Yes! I wanted it later. Later is better for me.

Also, I really want to see your finger nails Binx. I wish I would have saw them at The Finger Bang. But, I guess, that was before I found out that you have a nail biting problem.

hmm well maybe yall who wanted to smash earlier could crash at my pizad in the morning then my mom could take us all over I would need to ask her so I don't know yet. Also you would need a ride home because I doubt my mom wants to drive people around unless maybe if you gave her some gas money I don't know just tell me if any of you are interested so I have an idea.

Maybe possible spend the night on friday who knows

I'd be down for smashing that started on friday, though the saturday tourney should be good too. ^_^ if anyone thinks they can help me get down/back to eugune, my # is: 775.846.7029

let me know what's needed of me (I can certainly pitch in for gas $) and I'll do my best to accommodate.

I think it would be easier if I got the Eugene Weekly people to go up to PK on Sat. than to try to get everyone down to Eugene the day after. That would mean a bigger turnout for one event rather than splitting it betwixt the two.

The only problem is I don't know if anyone will be free on Sat. since we usually have everything planned for Sun.

I'll post more later.
