Hurray for late shoutouts. Hope everyone here sees this post.
Darklink - First of all I want to thank you for pushing me to keep playing Brawl. I thought I lost my edge and wasn't good anymore but you forcing me to play made me realize I can still kick some *** if I wanted to. These tournaments you've hosted have been extremely fun and I'm glad it's helping Phoenix grow stronger. I'll try and drive down to Phoenix sometime for a tournament.
Hades - Way to represent the low tier! You definitely look like you grew older since last time I saw you.
Bloodhawk - Thanks for teaming with me and sorry we didn't get at least second this tournament.
Justin Kamikaze - Don't feel too bad about not doing well in Brawl. I know you can do a lot better. I think you are feeling like I did and like you can't do any better. As soon as I got rid of that thought like at this tournament I did a lot better. Just keep practicing.
Duff0 - Sorry I was cheering against you against Bryce, I didn't feel like fighting your marth, haha.
Lonewolf - Yes, I got revenge for my brother! Take that! Just kidding, you are really good and I know now to ban that stage against you.
Darkshifter - You are an amazingly chill guy and it's fun hanging around you if you're not trying to get me to shake hands with Tommy.
Good job taking out Duffy and a match off me in bracket.
Kiraflax - Wow I've finally beaten you in Tournament since those string of defeats in the last 3 tournaments. Better drink more of that flax oil! That last match was incredibly intense and was super close. Stop playing to campy against me, that ledge grab rule bit you in the ***, lol. Stop being to negative in thinking I'm one of the only smashers that still respect you, I'm sure everyone here does, they just like to poke fun at you because you are weird.
Rain The Link Main - Didn't really talk to you but I can see you are getting better, keep it up!
Tommy - You will never get your handshake so don't hold your breath! Besides you got to hug me so that was like 10 handshakes.
Black Crimson - I think being negative most of the time is holding you back from playing your potential, you need to enter matches with a clear mind and you'll play better.
Wicked Deceit - Nice Zelda and wicked job beating Kira (I think?). Haven't seen a good Zelda since Love Dove.
Axe - Jeff, you have got to be the most kind and pure hearted smasher... nay... person I have ever met in my life. No joke, you just have this personality anyone would be insane to hate. Keep it up and don't let life ever get you down, which I find would be impossible to do. Great job in teams, we completely synched our teamwork down for the most part and I'm really thankful to team with you. If we ever go OOS again you definitely need to team with me and I'm certain we could go very far. You are the definitely the best team I ever had besides Greg. While Greg and I have way better teamwork I think I would do better with you overall.
Taj - Glad I didn't have to play your Marth in tournament, that thing intimidates me more than you... well maybe not that much
. Good luck in Pound, I hope you do great.
Forward - You were my inspiration to get better at this game. If it weren't for Greg and me coming over for our weekly beat downs at your place when we started I wouldn't be near as good as I am today and I thank you for that. Sorry Melee isn't too fun for you anymore, just take a break and play Brawl and you'll appreciate Melee again!
Tai - Sorry you didn't get to beat me in tournament. I was playing at my absolute peak that tournament, I couldn't afford to lose to anyone in my last tournament before I moved. It's hard to believe you've improved so much. I remember when you were still new to the game (and getting JV5 stocked by me, sorry once you get JV5ed it will haunt you forever.) and I would never have thought you would improve so dramatically. It was fun traveling with you to all those OOS tournaments, hopefully we can go to some more.
Goose - G-mo - What's with that name? It's always a party with when the STB show up, you make tournaments a lot more fun.
Goop - Was fun always doing those smashfests at your place and you really helped me beat some of those uncommon matches in tournament like Doc and Mario. Seriously without that practice against you I'm sure I would have lost to HomemadeWaffles. Hope you like your Chimchar.
Silly Kyle - I'm glad to see another active peach player in both Brawl and Melee. You made Peach a lot more fun for me with you around. Keep practicing and you'll be great. You are getting too good at Peach dittos. When I move back to Arizona I'll reclaim best Peach in the state again, crown smacking *****es and all, so be ready.
"Go Peach!"
Vatgrizzlybear aka Vato aka Vat-zero - You have got to be the most hilarious smasher I've ever seen. You always make me laugh which is hard to do.
Omar - Don't think we talked the entire time we were there, I'm sad. Your samus is beastly.
Cats - I'm suprised you got last. I know you are better than that!
Jard - A shame you couldn't enter the tournament. Thanks for inspiring me to become a better Brawl player even though I tried not to you kept pulling me back in. Also thank you for having faith in me while I was playing against California, you really helped.
Arizona - Last of all to Arizona! I'll always be Arizona no matter where I go.
