Smash Champion
For those of you who know me, I'm quitting Melee for a number of reasons.
1.) I simply don't have the competition in my area, and i'm a good 6 hour drive in all directions to any good competition, to get any good at this game that I've been playing for 5 years.
2.) For as long as I have been playing(5 years), I'd think I would have gotten somewhere but I haven't, Melee probably isn't for me, and although playing the game is fun, I can just play it on my own on occassions, No need for me to drive 6 hours to play the game.
3.) Tired of not getting refunded for entry fees at nationals, when my plane gets cancelled. I have no control over that.
4.) Last but not least. SC2 is too fun and I'm fairly good at it. I'm capable of thinking of 7 different things going on at once, which is probably a reason why I've been very good in team matches.
Well Shout outs too people I know
Prac/Alpha Gun****: GA Get 4 stocked 3 was the very first tournament I ever attended, and you guys are the reasons I was stuck in melee so long. I felt like the melee community was very nice/friendly group of people because of you guys. I've always been biased against any community thinking most of the people are trash talkers ect ect. But You guys gave me a GREAT first impression. Thanks for being mad cool.
GAWes: first "Pro" I met I could say, at that time you were largely feared and looked at as a great player. And you gave me tips when I was playing Zelda. A double edge sword, where I put more effort into her when I probably shouldn't have, but I appreciated the advice alot.
Ihavespaceballs: We've only been to the same tournament maybe 3 times. And I'm pretty sure each time you were in my pool lol. You gave me advice while playing a serious match. I was messing with jiggz against your Samus and you missed a grab, and Told me "That was a rest, you shoulda rested me." Who does that? Cool people do that's who.
NesNoob: I know you can't read this, but you along with a few other people I hold in my top 6 smashers who have the best attitudes/always happy smashers.
Dashizwiz: Dunno if you remember fighting my Zelda WAY WAY back in the day. At a gigabits. You were completely ready to leave, but I asked if I could get a set with you. You told your friends to hold on, and went to find a T.V. They were all full of course. But instead of telling me "They are all full sorry man." You asked if you could borrow the T.V. You went way out of your way to have a friendly set with a stranger. And You are one of the coolest smashers I've ever met in SSBM community.
HungryBox: Despite all the hate, and all the frowning, You keep pushing, and I really respect that. I was so upset when people were boo'ing you in Grand finals. You've always helped me out with housing, and directions. Helped me get unlost at my first gigabits. If people could ever man the hell up, They should/can finally appreciate your genius with puff.
Xif: Don't punch yourself in the face when you lose, It's not healthy.
PB&J: We're 1:1(way in the past), we'll never know who's the better player. Although I'd put money on it ;D.
P.S. Also you're a jerk for pushing your T-shirt sales on me to the point I bought one just to make you stop persisting.
Rice: Thanks for the inspiring tips and compliments to my skill. Even when I doubt myself hearing you tell me that I'm a good player, made me confident.
John(Drumma boi): My turn to win this time :D.
Ballistics: I'll still play friendlies :D, We'll hang out anytime tally holds an event.
AWAL: even though you got my car towed by telling me parking in the grass was fine and I had to pay 80 bucks. I don't hate ya :D because I know you didn't intentionally tell me it was ok to park there.
Raistlin: Never really liked you. you redeemed yourself a little toward the end. But someone who gets mad because I camped your puff. which is how you play the match up when you have a projectile. couldn't believe you followed me around at the tournament and cheered on all my opponents and boo'd when I did a combo. But in Tally you seemed like a more mature person. So I won't keep the judgement just yet.
Acedudeyeah(and friend): We always play low tier friendlies at somepoint when I go to orlando :D GG's
SheerMadness: You seem very calm and collective and was very polite to compliment my Zelda. Most people who lose to my Zelda get pretty upset. Cuz they see it as a loss to a low tier, and not the player. When I truly 100% believe Falco vs Zelda is a even match up. 55:45 if I had to favor one in falco's favor.
Colbol: You, Shizwiz, and Nesnoob, are like the top 3 coolest smashers ever. Maybe because I behave the same way. I laugh losses off, and have fun even in competition. And you guys seem to always have a good attitude and seem to be happy even when you lose. although I've only got to play your fox once. and we've played probably countless friendlies. My first match against you I 3 stocked your falcon on final D with Marth. But then proceeded to get 2 stocked by your fox at a slightly later date. I enjoyed our zelda vs Falco matches at CEO. Falco's my best match up for her.
KBM: Sorry you got close to taking a match off my falcon but never getting the cigar. I know that feeling, Keep up the good work. Never seen a player get so good with fox in a short amount of time. A bit more effort at consistency and you'd ****.
Toobz: you're a nice/cool dude. Always rooted for me in matches. That helps alot, I do infinitely better when people are cheering me on. It gives some people pressure, but it makes me feel good about myself, thus breeding confidence.
Pr0ject: our teams matches were hilarioius, although we didn't perform well. I had a lot of laughs. Double falcon is hilarious. Poke' FLOATS :D
TheLake: Thanks for always being the one other Zelda player I felt I could truly talk to about anything Zelda related. You grew a lot from when you first started playing. Taking a match off hugs is legit, even if I think that match up is in Zelda's favor :D.
Kyle(Green Mario): thanks for being a cool dude, and driving me to a GA tournament :D. I hate fighting marios/luigi's/Dr.Marios. I dunno wth i'm doing LoL
@Albany GA: You guys are mad hilarious and fun to play smash with :D
Later!
