*Pound* V Melee Results and Shoutouts Thread

[Rohins]

Not sure where to ask this but does anyone know who recorded my round 1 pool set with Amsah? It was recorded on the TV with the projector, I thought vgbootcamp was handling it but apparently they weren't.

I'll have it up today or tomorrow




Shout outs:


1: Dr. PP - Good stuff as always. If you keep this winning streak up you'll be the bad guy pretty soon your personality is so likable though so I don't know if it's possible for you to have haters lol
2: Armada - good stuff getting over your bad match ups
3: HBox - you need to get some hater blockers
4: Axe - your pikachu is beautiful, I can see you winning a national with in the next year
5: Mew2king - don't be such a quitter
Plank - Good stuff on a great tournament as always
D1, Wife, D. Disciple and Prog - thank you guys so much for commentating all of the important matches. I really appreciate it and I'm sure the rest of the community appreciates it.
Redd - Thanks for setting up a little live stream so the folks at home could enjoy bracket goodness.

The Melee Guys who helped is bring our TVS to the Uhaul: Thank you so much!!! After the hotel forced us into that room we had to go up that incline to get our tvs to our uhaul. It would've taken us 2 to 3 hours to do it by ourselves and we would've been completely drained of all energy. Thank you again.

If I forgot anyone please forgive me

whoever set the livestream is a genius

I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.

Who could not, somewhere in their head, feel the gravity of the first line of that song if they watched the last few matches? I watched Kevin, the hope of NC/ATL South/America, beat Amsah, M2K, Hungrybox and Armada in a row. All of those names are larger than life in the Smash community; these are some of the best in the world. It was the changing of the guard.

I cannot believe that this tournament and that moment was so unbeliavably amazing and people are still talking about people singing. It was extremely hyped up, extremely nostalgic (like this community and this game) and if you were there, you know how much energy and love there was in the room; for the two people playing this game at the very highest level, for the people singing in front, beside and behind you, and most importantly, for Melee.

Love the people, love the game, love the memories (both new and old) and completely disregard anyone who's watching or telling you that there is a wrong or right way to do that.

Legendary post. Says everything I wanted to say and more. If PP and Armada were'nt the best at what they do, then the pressure of an insane crowd behind them would've crushed them a long time before they even got into brackets... If anything, that song was just fuel to their fire.

 

[YEAH!]

I'll accept any and all money matches.

Get @ me. Before this tournament I hadn't touched the game since '06.

johns, i saw you at rom3 XD

I'm still sore from that! Also, it was so funny when the door started to close in slow motion as we were running up the ramp, haha. It was like an indiana jones moment, but we didn't make it XD

 

[thumbswayup]

Why are people still talking about that song negatively? I wasn't there and I still haven't seen the vid but honestly, who the **** cares? Are you so arrogant that you think a bunch of people singing a song is going to make you look badly? To whom? Are you trying to impress the 40 year old losers in the street fighter community? You think a bunch of teenagers and 20 somethings singing a SONG is more embarassing than 30 and 40 year olds who exclude outsiders from their community? Get a ****ing grip. Everyone watched Pokemon when they were kids, EVERYONE. Would it have been less emarassing if they sang the DBZ opening? Or how about anything from the Wizard of Oz or Singin' in the Rain, cause those are "kids" movies with "kids" songs too eh?

Holy **** you people care too much about things that don't matter

 

[KageMurphy]

-rage-

Kermits angry!

 

[HDL]

Pound too amazing. In my opinion it only had one major drawback: 3 days is not enough! There were a bunch of people I wanted to play and either I didn't have time or they didn't.

But for those I did play, much respect. There are too many people so I won't give individual shoutouts and have some people feeling left out, I'm including you all!

Special thanks to Zoro, though, for letting me stay with him and taking care of the accommodations for us. That was the most fun I've ever had rooming with anyone in any kind of event. It felt like we all knew each other forever from the start. Hurry and put those Action B videos up!

Shoutouts:

Plank - Jon, you've outdone yourself again, can't thank you enough. Shame there won't be anymore =(.

Shroomed - Doc's down-b is OP. If there is a next time, I'm taking you out.

Armada - Your falcon sucks, especially in friendlies when you aren't trying. Your peach and YL....that's a different story =).

Axe - Curse your ledge camping pikachu in friendlies/not trying! I got baited =(.

Rockcrock/Kels - Ganon is the best character in the game. Jab > Shine.

Harriet - HoN!

Yeah! - Stick to Falco, even though you are from AZ, your falco is so much better than your G&W =).

Chillin - Major props for being a good sport in that teams match and 1v1ing my buddy's jiggs. Too good.

Idea - Hilarious 4 stocking Thumbs in 0:53 on Dreamland, very nice puff man.

Scar - I shoulda stuck to SC2.

MD/VA - Good ****.

JMU Smash - You guys are the best.

Anyone else I played in pools/friendlies - GG's!

 

[Phyr]

I'm of the oppinion that the song added that special something to the match.

 

[prog]

kinda sad i didn't get a DoH shoutout. my shoutouts later tonight.

 

[D20]

Shout outs!

Dr. Peepee - Way to get the win for the US... in DC... on President's Day!
Armada - I hope you enjoyed your stay here in the states! Come back!
Swiftbass - Your commentary was soooo good! You had all those Young Link facts ready to go!
D1 + Prog + Wife - Love the commentary... very professional and insightful.
Vectorman + Redd - Nice job getting the live stream up and running.
Sanuzi - You can't quit Melee! Melee only quits you.
TheLake - Zelda all day!
Faab - I guess I got schooled... a little.
Renth - No games? I'm heartbroken.
Inui - Go play Brawl you scrub! I'm kidding (about the Brawl part).
Velocity - Good conversations as always... and a very close set.
HBox - Don't worry. Young Link is lame... we'll have to teach you the trick to beating him (like how to pick Fox).
The rest of the Pittsburgh guys - <3

Extra special thanks to Plank for hosting and to TheCape for helping out.

[Shadow Huan]

well i didn't attend, but shoutouts to teh_icy for the info dump thread, i was lurking there throughout most of the weekend on my phone, tried to join in but smashboardsmobile is wack on my mobile. I was hyped up just reading that stuff lol.

good job to Spife, M.Z, Kartel and Kyu Puff for represnting NE (Were there any others from NE? i don't remember)

Great job to V3ctorman for making it out of pools with yoshi. <3 Vman

Axe got 4th, he's moving up. great job.

Also Armada beating H-Box with Y Link... mind = blown

*goes to watch matches*

 

[Lightsyde]

Darius: Glad at least one person saw the point of that post.

Thumbs Way the **** Up: You are the business and you have the best name ever. Let's team/**** at the next National.

 

[ph00tbag]

No love for me I had fun in our Samus dittos full shoutouts tomorrow

Yo all those friendlies were fun as hell. You're mad cool, dawg.

If we could somehow put into song that our community is full of people who smell, don't get laid, act like little kids, and just don't have a mature demeanor in general, it'd sound like the pokemon theme song you all chose to sing in unison.

I'd like to think we don't all smell, some of us do get laid, we don't' all act like little kids, and we are capable of having a pretty mature demeanor..

I get laid while singing the Pokemon Theme Song, so I have no idea where you get any of that in your head.

[Nicknyte]

Genesis, we all sing the pokemon song. I'll give you a burger.

 

[D. Disciple]

Nah son, we singing the pokerap at Genesis.

 

[Nicknyte]

nah son, we singing the pokerap at genesis.

this guy. We do this.

 

[Lightsyde]

Genesis:

We stop everyone's matches and get everyone to turn their TV's up and play Dreamland at the same time until the cacophonous novelty wears off or we lose our minds.

Either way, it'll be a physical representation of the dreams you have when you fall asleep and wake up to that same song at any given tourney. I would be shocked if people have been to tourneys and not had this experience.

 

[The King]

At Genesis we are going to require each and every participant to cos-play as the character they intend to enter in each tournament event. The two combatants will then roleplay-fight while in their respective costumes, and that is how the winner of each set will be determined. Counterpick stages will be allowed of course, but due to obvious restrictions there will be few stages to pick from. FD will be atop a nearby table, Green Greens will be in the grass outside the venue, and Mute City will be in the street which runs parallel to the venue.

Just want to give everyone a heads-up so you can begin sewing your *cough* battle armor *cough* early.

-King Out

 

[everlasting yayuhzz]

i dreamed the dreamland song last night i swear to god

****ing melee

 

[Lightsyde]

At Genesis, Green Greens will be in the grass outside the venue, in a parked car, in hotel rooms, and in your dreams.

CALIFORNIA LOOOOOOVE

 

[stingers]

josh has convinced me to go to genesis...its done

 

[l0zR=)]

Wow what an amazing tournament! Shoutouts to all!

It was good seeing all of you awesome people again and i hope to make another big tourney soon. Catfish coming for #1 in teams next time

 

[Roneblaster]

just gonna get my reply into bseed real quick.

i dont think you even read my post bseed. you're aruging about something completely different than me. I'm getting on people who are offended by us singing because they're dumb enough to care about it because they think it affects them. you are aruging about how we are all silly for doing it and it was childish.

i didnt even read your post past the first few lines cause of how bad it was bro.

formulating my shout-outs

 

[Pi]

yo
i failed
i'll step it up @ genesis

special shoutouts;

Dr. PeePee: It's too bad that we didn't get any matches, but most of the time I saw you training to win this thing so I can respect that, grats btw, you were playing spectactular, keep that focus and that drive, you deserve it man.

Lord HDL: always nice to talk to someone who views the game similarly to me, glad we could get some matches in, next time though I got you.

DJNintendo: I wish I could just watch you play vs people as samus, good **** man, she really is fun isn't she

Plank: My man...I'd like to give you a personal TY for hosting this tournament, it was my first and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't my most memorable OoS tournament. Good pools & $$ matches, I got you next time though

Mango: I get it now, that's cool, I'll try to just ignore all the **********s on the boards.

Zhu & Redd: thanks for the training matches

Project, Seibrik & his GF: Any time you need a room lmk,
-good **** Seib on 3rd but wtf why not first?!
-Project, uhhh how'd you not win ammmy bracket, but better question how did you not make bracket?! You're really rather good, we need to figure out what's stopping you from performing better

Phish-it, Vanz, KAOSTAR, Lovage, Eggm, Nando, No Cash, Vish(i think right? rohins friend?), Plank, Linguini : thanks for finding & asking me for the MM's, were definitely matches that I could learn from and I intend to take my money back the next time we meet

S2J & Yoshido: My apologies for not getting around to MMing even though you did find me, for whatever reasons, we'll do them in the future.

To everyone who had a MM with me and did not find me, wat?

HBox : I was rooting for you the whole way bro, hope the controller served you well, It'll be interesting to see how you handle this now though, I re-watched the matches and have formed my own opinions on them, but let's see how you hold it down at G2. I know you can win though.

Col Bol: okay, enough slacking, when I get a car I'm gonna be at your place every day so we can train.

VGBC: Ty for showing up and supporting our game

Rohins & IHSB: Let's do this again real soon.

Tect: Good ****, wish we had gotten to play more, but regardless those ganon challenges & item matches were 2good

Chu: Ty for the housing and the rides, man those G&W matches were SO HYPE, personally I hope that you do find the motivation to be the best again, but if not then I hope you at least can still have fun with the game, it really is an amazing game.

shoutout to all the people I had in my pool & all the people I played friendlies with

Sickkkkkk tournament, thanks to plank for securing one of the best venues i've ever seen.

If you were in room 517 at any point; such good times! hahahahaha

Shouts to all the roomies and everyone I got crunk with. Best moment of the tournament was in the NC room, drunk arm wrestling +hype rock paper scissors

FUH DA BIEEEEEE!!!

Sadly, this is probably my last OOS tourney. Don't have time to put in the dedication to be a high-caliber player anymore, but it was fun while it lasted. I'll still play once in a while though.

Smash community is the ****, and I hope melee lives on!

HOLLA

 

[GHNeko]

[Merkuri]

We still don't have bracket imagines for this tourney?
