thanks broseidon
i figured that was it, but i didn't know if it would for some reason be uploaded on someone else's youtube account. sorta like how most of the pound 4 stream vids were uploaded on waffles' account even though vgbootcamp did the stream (i think).

Even though I'm still in Cali having a blast imma try and start uploading vids today. Some vids will be missing because we accidentally recorded multiple sets in one video though (until I can get to them)

Thanks, glad I could be of help! I definitely learned quite a bit on streaming and Xsplit tricks from you too, I'll be sure to incorporate them for future events I cast here.Shout outs later.
But I just want people to know the stream would not have run as smoothly with out aisight's help. He da man.
Also, I made it out of pools going all G&W woot ^.^

stabbed- it's not okay to yell after everyone yelled against me, even if only for a moment? I was honestly really hyped and that's just how I expressed it. It's not like I actually hate west coast LOL you guys are awesome.
shoutouts tomorrow probably. busy etc

Ken's last post had a direct response to me, omg. I'm freakin dying of nostalgia right now lol. Ahh

Loooooooooooooool. You have no idea how happy this makes me.
Not going to do full shout outs because that would take forever, and I'm lazy.
Great job, Team oxy. Legitimately one of the best tournaments I've ever been to. The only one that comes close is Genesis 2 which might have the edge only because I was there for like three days, lol. I really wanted to chill with you guys more, but I knew you had work to do.
2jar, amazing housing. Your friends are really cool, by the way.
People I money matched, looooool. Sorry for being so awful and not taking your money with style.
MANATEE, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Khepri and zeldafreak, YOU'RE WELCOME.
Albert, thanks for the ride home. Good luck with jobs/schools.
And shout out to sfat. I had the most fun friendlies with you, and sorry about being so rusty. There were some weird *** wtf moments in our matches though.

Hey everyone this is David and I was apart of that crew of people that were filming and taking pictures.
We were filming KoC for a video series that covers various cultures related to gaming.
There are TONS of pictures and here are just a sample of what we got. Its all on our home website.

Thanks again to crimson for letting us shoot (and i can give you any of the files you want).
Also shoutouts to those who were nice enough to interview with us. Ken, scar, bob money, dr pp and zhu. We will be sure to share the finished product with everyone.
Oh and shoutouts to my SB bros who took money from me and Kehpri (sp?)

Super cool tourney.
Super cool roadtrip.
GGs to my pool players, cept for okami who ***** me and recorded it, not very nice haha. GGs to my bracket matches Peligro, stab (I'm lightweight salty), GIMR and Lucky. And everyone else I played in friendlies throughout the day, everyone was legit and not a lamer.
Super shoutouts to my homie Azusa who beat Ken, I got to laugh and smile all the way home, norcal is too good.
Socal can hold this crew battle until next time.
You guys should do this again soon, I'm already ready to drive down.

most of az is really good at shield dropping.

okay i'm a total noob
what is shield dropping and what are the benefits of learning it?
what is shield dropping and what are the benefits of learning it?
It's dropping from a platform while your shield is still active, giving an option other than wavedash, jump, or dodge. Pretty tricky to explain since the process is like "tilt the control stick down (at an angle if you feel like) all the way but not too fast", but all there really is to it is getting a feel for the technique so it becomes second nature.
Lovage
Smash Hero
thats the old school/standing way of shield drops
new school/dashing way is tap shield at the same time you bring your stick to down-right or down-left (whichever direction ur facing)

shaidrop can't be done out of shield. both have their uses.
Wretched
Dankness of Heart
Shield dropping is specifically canceling the animation lag from dropping through a platform by shielding. Makes you drop through the platform faster, and it seems to me that it accelerates your speed of falling, but I am probably wrong.
Generally, it is just smashing down on a platform and tapping shield right after.

There's a few ways to shield drop, but they all give the same results so whatever your preference is
My only advice is practice lol. Practice practice practice. I practice shield dropping every day.

I've been putting this off for so long... because... there's so ****ing many of you... so many things to say...
First off...
0: Princess Kitty - Thank you so much for the ride, especially on such short notice. It was great talking to you, and weaving through broken fiberglass and wrecked cars in a three lane tunnel was pretty surreal. Don't hesitate to ask if I can ever return the favor somehow.
0: SUNG666 - Dude, your voice and speech habits are ****ing hilarious. I had so much fun just chillin with you and you're pretty ****ing good at Melee too. Thanks for the comfy bed, the excellent hospitality, and the generosity to drive me to the airport at 4 am. You ****.
1: Dr PP - I can't really knock your performance at this. Pretty solid play, kept your cool when the crowd was completely against you. What else is there to say? Wreck ROM, since Mango won't be there. Thanks for your commitment to paying me back, I appreciate you tolerating all the heckling I've been giving you.
1: Darrell - ****ing ***** *** mother ****er. Your robot girl keeps getting better and better at kung fu every time I see her. I always enjoy the fact that at every tournament, you make a point of sitting me down and showing me your latest lab results, and asking for mine. You're a far off goal, but a damn good mentor. I'll grab you a Red Bull any day and smash for hours with you any time. <3 Grats on the performance, I know you won't stop here either.
1: Axe - Look at you suckin that ****. Everyone counts out the rodent master, but you turned a **** load of heads. Your dedication to practice and improvement is clearly showing in your results. Gimp spacies indefinitely, you'll always have a fan in me for doing that. AY ZEE TOO GOOD.
1: Fly Amanita - You always come back stronger. I don't know how you do it, but you do. Every time someone beats you, you think up some new option or pattern to get around it, and I notice those differences. Your systematic style is incredibly impressive, and your consistency is unbelievable. Even if you were unsatisfied with your result at this tournament, I know you'll only come out with better results in the future. Here's hoping you keep handing *****es off and killing people off of hard reads.
1: Mango - It doesn't even matter, the nation knows. We already know what it is. I'm kinda bummed I got moved out of your pool, it's too much fun playing you. I'm definitely calling some friendlies at the next tournament we play at.
1: PewpewU - ****, MAN. ****. HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD. SERIOUSLY. MARTH SUCKS. HOW DO YOU MAKE HIM DO THE **** YOU DOITDOESN'TMAKEANYSENSEHOWYOUCANBETHATGOODATADSFKJJAKSFLKAJSDFIJWAEFKDSKJFLADFJASKLDJFASLDFJKLADSJFKASLDFJLAKDSJFKLASJDFLASDKFJLASKJFKASJDFKLASJ. We need to do Robogirl dittos. I'm eagerly awaiting further results of DEEP training.
1: Shroomed - Gettin back in that Doc groove? Sure looked like it, I think we're starting to see a return to form. Dark Mandible Rises. We didn't get to talk much, but I wanna try some **** out on your Doc sometime. I think I learned a bit about the matchup. Make us proud next tournament you go out to, I don't think I need to tell you you have it in you.
1: s2j - We barely got to talk... How the **** did you find water? Seriously, I walked for a ****ing hour, Pasadena's too nice to have a convenience store... I found like 3 coffee shops, 4 dessert places, 6 banks, 3 shoe stores, 2 jewelry shops, a Jamba juice, and more ****ing bars than I can count. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR WATER!? Also, I didn't get to see you play at this tournament, which is a shame because you're definitely my favorite Falcon. I'll be sure not to miss it at the next tournament we're at.
1: SFAT - There was a time when I thought your Fox was full of holes. You were always really fast and you always hit really hard, but I couldn't help but feel hesitation and a bit of mental weakness whenever I saw you playing at a high level. You'd kinda do some wishy-washy Fox **** and then get ***** because of it, especially under pressure. Well I can't see it anymore. I think your playstyle has definitely matured and your Fox is a lot more confident now. I know I said it at Big House 2, but it still surprises me how much better you've gotten, and I can't wait to see you wreck some more big names. Keep beasting, Zac, you're ****ing amazing.
1: westballz - I really felt for you when you lost your last stock to Fly. You were a ****ing man on a mission, and we both know that mission isn't over yet. I look forward to the positive conclusion of your vendetta against the false king of Falcos. I sincerely hope you rewrite the label that's been pasted onto Falcos and become the biggest example of aggression that is superior to passivity. ****ing destroy Kevin Nanney. We both know you have it in you.
1: Zhu - Zhuuuuuuuuu I thought you seemed a little off this tournament, but no matter, I know how ridiculous you can be on your good days, and I look forward to seeing you improve now that you're back home and playing more often.
1: Scar - You took a fat **** all over everyone in our pool. Literally no one could touch you. I just can't wrap my head around the entirety of your Falcon, it just... never stops hitting you. I always enjoy our games the most because I feel like I learn more about the Falcon matchup when we play than when I play against any other Falcon. I hope we get to play again sometime.
1: Tafokints - Damn, good ****. I'm sad I had to play you in round 2, but you're very strong and it's difficult for me to get the better of you with straight up mental games because you're very aware of your own patterns. I seriously just want to sit down and play you for a month straight to knock all of my bad habits in the matchup out of my system, because you're really good at exploiting my spacing and move choice mistakes. I think out of everyone in Norcal, right now I want to play you the most.
1: stab - Yeah, I do tend to travel a lot, it was good seeing you, Stab.
1: sidefx - Big Boss Boback. You have literally the most hilarious **** talk ideas. I'm pretty sure that if Mango's girlfriend dumped him the night before KoC, you'd be screaming obscenities about her right in his ear, and just because it's you, it would've been the absolute most hilarious thing ever. Never change, I look forward to working with you in whatever future affairs you choose to include me in.
2: Vish - The filthiest Falcon in the Northwest. You have no idea how happy I am that you came to this tournament, and how happy I am that things are looking up for you and your family. I definitely missed you when I came down to WA and you weren't there, so seeing you at this event was high on my priorities list. Hope to see you again at either our events or your events.
2: alan - What can I say, you're brutally honest, a smart mother ****er, and just all around a fabulous *****. Let's get jamba juice again sometime, your gossip is too interesting for me to pass up.
2: Toph - 3 weeks in a row. Here's to the smasher that I've seen the most often this past month. You're really ****ing good these days and you're only getting better. I'm just waiting on your breakout performance, and when it happens, I won't even be surprised. THAT ****ING TECH ON YOSHI'S akdsj;f;djfa;lsdkfjad;jla; You have a lot of talent, and I will always support you. <3
2: Violence - You lucky mother ****er.
2: Lucky - Always good to see you, Joey. I can't ever put my finger on your Fox, it always either ridiculously on or a little off. I never know what it is until the tournament's over. I hope you get back into things, I wouldn't mind seeing your Fox rise again to its former glory.
2: TAI - HAMETSU E NO RONDOOOOOOOOOOOOO
3: L - You have so much more ability and potential that you give yourself credit for. The day you come into your own is the day the West Coast gains another top Fox main. Here's hoping you continue to improve to that point.
3: Hyuga - You TO so often that whenever you don't, I'm always scared that you're going to upset someone really good. It's like you remove your own limiter and there's no telling what you'll do. If you decide to put an honest effort into improvement, I'll be right there supporting you. GIMME YO ISOTROPIC SN, *****, I'MA HIT LV 20 AFTER I WRECK YOU REPEATEDLY.
3: DendyPretendy - I'd only heard your commentary, it's good to finally put a face to your voice. You have a pretty legit puff, ggs on Sunday night. Look forward to playing you next time I'm around in Socal.
3: GimR - For a long time I really didn't like VGBootCamp, but you guys grew on me over the past few months. We all really appreciate your work and I'm happy you came all the way down here to do what you do best. The community needs people like you, and the work you're doing is invaluable. Keep it up!
3: joejoe - sadjf;lksjfas;ldj Once I learn the matchup, I'll be back for salty seconds. Mark my words, Socal Sheik player! whoosh
3: Zoap - Someday in the distant future, we will be invaded by aliens who have a secret weakness to scathing **** talk. And when that day comes, I won't even be worried, because I know that the world will be in good hands with you around. Hopefully I'll catch you at a Walt's Weekly or something when I'm back home, I miss playing your Peach.
3: HugQ - Everyone down here is used to my antics because YOU prepared them! I hold you personally responsible, Hugo! Teach me something the next time we play, I have a lot to learn from you.
3: DanteFox - I don't approve of my wins against you, I still think our set could've gone either way. Until the next time we play, I hope we meet again.
3: bob$ - Professor Robert Dirty Dollars, I wish we'd gotten to play more friendlies. Playing against you is so very educational. Your thoughtful play always punishes me for doing stupid ****, and I can never have enough of that. I'll definitely try to seek you out when I'm back in Norcal again.
3: SephirothKen - You refused to say a word to me when I was a complete scrub at TG6 in 2004(2005?). You seem to have matured quite a bit since then, and it was nothing but a blast seeing you play again. Best of luck in your endeavors.
4: pockyD - It was awesome seeing you again down in Socal, I didn't think you cared about smash enough to travel to a tournament, but clearly I was wrong. I hope you keep entering events and I get to play you again sometime down the line, your Sheik is legit.
4: AntoPark - We didn't get to talk much, but I'm curious as to how good your Samus has gotten after Genesis 2. I'm sure you have new tricks to show me, and I wanna see them all. Next time I'm in Socal I'll definitely be looking to get some friendlies in with you.
4: Lovage - The day you give a **** about Melee again will be a national holiday known as Fox Day. Everyone will be given the day off to go home and practice tech skill in their rooms for 24 hours straight. No work. Businesses will close, traffic will halt, all transportation, communication, commerce, it'll all shut down. Nothing but the sound of Melee music, the clacking of controllers, and the blooping of Fox shines. I eagerly await this day.
4: Strong Bad - I'm happy you came out, and it was fun playing you on Sunday night. Your Fox is hilarious. Good luck at ROM and Apex, **** some unsuspecting player up with DK on the stream, and expose them for the fraud that they are.
4: Sheen - Even when you go all the way to Socal, you still bring some of your ****ing enormous TV's. I can't believe how dedicated you are to always show up with some of those monsters. Seriously, good ****, man, I would never be able keep that up for more than two tournaments. I want to play you again when I'm back in Norcal, hopefully we see each other at another tournament.
4: Sparky - Dude. I keep telling you. One day, you will realize. Something will awaken within you, an unmistakeable epiphany about the truth of the world, and you will realize for the first time in your life that you have achieved total clarity upon your sudden awareness that it is a ****ing 50:50 matchup.
4: Sung666 - YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS
4: Aussyboo - There's a magic card that you've always reminded me of, it's called Azusa, Lost but Seeking. It's a rather weak looking creature, but it enables super fast development, and its ability is rather unique out of all the cards in magic. And I think that card is a pretty good fit for you. I didn't think much of you when we both first started out in Norcal, I had a bit of a head start because I had years of semi-casual, semi-competitive experience under my belt, but holy **** did that not make a difference at all. You just kept getting better and better. Every time I come home one of the things I wonder is how good you've gotten, and it always turns out to be better than I expected. You have upheld the creed of the Norcal random: No matter who you are, if you play someone you've never heard of from Norcal, you have a decent and very real chance of just losing. Phenominal play vs Ken, I'm half excited and half afraid to play you when I come back next time, because there's just no telling how much you'll grow by then. I predict it'll again be more than I expect.
5: gkinfinity - From Modesto to Socal, dwam. Good **** making the long trip, you've got so much dedication, man. I hope to get some friendlies in with you next time.
5: Eclipsing Binary - I'm so happy we weren't in the same pool, because I'm pretty afraid that you'll just straight up wreck me. I've learned a bit about the matchup and I'd be down to play some more friendlies, but if it were a tournament match, I'd be pretty nervous, to be honest. I hope to see you at more events in the future.
5: J666 - I really wanted to play you, because Link Samus is my hands down favorite matchup, and your Link looks like tons of fun to play. Here's hoping we get the chance in the future.
5: Naota - When I get back home in December, let's play tons of friendlies. Your wide array of characters are all really fun to play against, and always look forward to testing my matchup knowledge. Thanks again for all your help and support.
5: Isis - You too, have grown quite a bit. I saw some of your matches, you're definitely not a free random anymore. Something tells me you're just getting started.
6: tarheeljks - Rough pool, I know you're capable of better results. Next time we'll warm up properly for teams, and finally have our decent performance. I'll hit you up when I get home.
7: Andymosity - Da Samus homie, we should've talked more and exchanged tricks. From some of your videos, I think you're very close to making a huge spurt of improvement, there are just a few simple things you need to focus on, and it'll make a huge difference for you.
8: TheCrimsonBlur - A good choice in DQing yourself, and a noble sacrifice indeed. To call this tournament dope is an insult. To call it epic is an understatement. Despite us not sticking to the schedule, I don't think anyone cared, because the atmosphere was great, the management was great, and all in all, the hype was unbelievable. I expect big things from Team OXY in the future. You've definitely turned a lot of heads with this event. Don't stop!
To anyone I forgot, I'm sorry... there are just so many people...
First off...
0: Princess Kitty - Thank you so much for the ride, especially on such short notice. It was great talking to you, and weaving through broken fiberglass and wrecked cars in a three lane tunnel was pretty surreal. Don't hesitate to ask if I can ever return the favor somehow.
0: SUNG666 - Dude, your voice and speech habits are ****ing hilarious. I had so much fun just chillin with you and you're pretty ****ing good at Melee too. Thanks for the comfy bed, the excellent hospitality, and the generosity to drive me to the airport at 4 am. You ****.
1: Dr PP - I can't really knock your performance at this. Pretty solid play, kept your cool when the crowd was completely against you. What else is there to say? Wreck ROM, since Mango won't be there. Thanks for your commitment to paying me back, I appreciate you tolerating all the heckling I've been giving you.
1: Darrell - ****ing ***** *** mother ****er. Your robot girl keeps getting better and better at kung fu every time I see her. I always enjoy the fact that at every tournament, you make a point of sitting me down and showing me your latest lab results, and asking for mine. You're a far off goal, but a damn good mentor. I'll grab you a Red Bull any day and smash for hours with you any time. <3 Grats on the performance, I know you won't stop here either.
1: Axe - Look at you suckin that ****. Everyone counts out the rodent master, but you turned a **** load of heads. Your dedication to practice and improvement is clearly showing in your results. Gimp spacies indefinitely, you'll always have a fan in me for doing that. AY ZEE TOO GOOD.
1: Fly Amanita - You always come back stronger. I don't know how you do it, but you do. Every time someone beats you, you think up some new option or pattern to get around it, and I notice those differences. Your systematic style is incredibly impressive, and your consistency is unbelievable. Even if you were unsatisfied with your result at this tournament, I know you'll only come out with better results in the future. Here's hoping you keep handing *****es off and killing people off of hard reads.
1: Mango - It doesn't even matter, the nation knows. We already know what it is. I'm kinda bummed I got moved out of your pool, it's too much fun playing you. I'm definitely calling some friendlies at the next tournament we play at.
1: PewpewU - ****, MAN. ****. HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD. SERIOUSLY. MARTH SUCKS. HOW DO YOU MAKE HIM DO THE **** YOU DOITDOESN'TMAKEANYSENSEHOWYOUCANBETHATGOODATADSFKJJAKSFLKAJSDFIJWAEFKDSKJFLADFJASKLDJFASLDFJKLADSJFKASLDFJLAKDSJFKLASJDFLASDKFJLASKJFKASJDFKLASJ. We need to do Robogirl dittos. I'm eagerly awaiting further results of DEEP training.
1: Shroomed - Gettin back in that Doc groove? Sure looked like it, I think we're starting to see a return to form. Dark Mandible Rises. We didn't get to talk much, but I wanna try some **** out on your Doc sometime. I think I learned a bit about the matchup. Make us proud next tournament you go out to, I don't think I need to tell you you have it in you.
1: s2j - We barely got to talk... How the **** did you find water? Seriously, I walked for a ****ing hour, Pasadena's too nice to have a convenience store... I found like 3 coffee shops, 4 dessert places, 6 banks, 3 shoe stores, 2 jewelry shops, a Jamba juice, and more ****ing bars than I can count. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR WATER!? Also, I didn't get to see you play at this tournament, which is a shame because you're definitely my favorite Falcon. I'll be sure not to miss it at the next tournament we're at.
1: SFAT - There was a time when I thought your Fox was full of holes. You were always really fast and you always hit really hard, but I couldn't help but feel hesitation and a bit of mental weakness whenever I saw you playing at a high level. You'd kinda do some wishy-washy Fox **** and then get ***** because of it, especially under pressure. Well I can't see it anymore. I think your playstyle has definitely matured and your Fox is a lot more confident now. I know I said it at Big House 2, but it still surprises me how much better you've gotten, and I can't wait to see you wreck some more big names. Keep beasting, Zac, you're ****ing amazing.
1: westballz - I really felt for you when you lost your last stock to Fly. You were a ****ing man on a mission, and we both know that mission isn't over yet. I look forward to the positive conclusion of your vendetta against the false king of Falcos. I sincerely hope you rewrite the label that's been pasted onto Falcos and become the biggest example of aggression that is superior to passivity. ****ing destroy Kevin Nanney. We both know you have it in you.
1: Zhu - Zhuuuuuuuuu I thought you seemed a little off this tournament, but no matter, I know how ridiculous you can be on your good days, and I look forward to seeing you improve now that you're back home and playing more often.
1: Scar - You took a fat **** all over everyone in our pool. Literally no one could touch you. I just can't wrap my head around the entirety of your Falcon, it just... never stops hitting you. I always enjoy our games the most because I feel like I learn more about the Falcon matchup when we play than when I play against any other Falcon. I hope we get to play again sometime.
1: Tafokints - Damn, good ****. I'm sad I had to play you in round 2, but you're very strong and it's difficult for me to get the better of you with straight up mental games because you're very aware of your own patterns. I seriously just want to sit down and play you for a month straight to knock all of my bad habits in the matchup out of my system, because you're really good at exploiting my spacing and move choice mistakes. I think out of everyone in Norcal, right now I want to play you the most.
1: stab - Yeah, I do tend to travel a lot, it was good seeing you, Stab.
1: sidefx - Big Boss Boback. You have literally the most hilarious **** talk ideas. I'm pretty sure that if Mango's girlfriend dumped him the night before KoC, you'd be screaming obscenities about her right in his ear, and just because it's you, it would've been the absolute most hilarious thing ever. Never change, I look forward to working with you in whatever future affairs you choose to include me in.
2: Vish - The filthiest Falcon in the Northwest. You have no idea how happy I am that you came to this tournament, and how happy I am that things are looking up for you and your family. I definitely missed you when I came down to WA and you weren't there, so seeing you at this event was high on my priorities list. Hope to see you again at either our events or your events.
2: alan - What can I say, you're brutally honest, a smart mother ****er, and just all around a fabulous *****. Let's get jamba juice again sometime, your gossip is too interesting for me to pass up.
2: Toph - 3 weeks in a row. Here's to the smasher that I've seen the most often this past month. You're really ****ing good these days and you're only getting better. I'm just waiting on your breakout performance, and when it happens, I won't even be surprised. THAT ****ING TECH ON YOSHI'S akdsj;f;djfa;lsdkfjad;jla; You have a lot of talent, and I will always support you. <3
2: Violence - You lucky mother ****er.
2: Lucky - Always good to see you, Joey. I can't ever put my finger on your Fox, it always either ridiculously on or a little off. I never know what it is until the tournament's over. I hope you get back into things, I wouldn't mind seeing your Fox rise again to its former glory.
2: TAI - HAMETSU E NO RONDOOOOOOOOOOOOO
3: L - You have so much more ability and potential that you give yourself credit for. The day you come into your own is the day the West Coast gains another top Fox main. Here's hoping you continue to improve to that point.
3: Hyuga - You TO so often that whenever you don't, I'm always scared that you're going to upset someone really good. It's like you remove your own limiter and there's no telling what you'll do. If you decide to put an honest effort into improvement, I'll be right there supporting you. GIMME YO ISOTROPIC SN, *****, I'MA HIT LV 20 AFTER I WRECK YOU REPEATEDLY.
3: DendyPretendy - I'd only heard your commentary, it's good to finally put a face to your voice. You have a pretty legit puff, ggs on Sunday night. Look forward to playing you next time I'm around in Socal.
3: GimR - For a long time I really didn't like VGBootCamp, but you guys grew on me over the past few months. We all really appreciate your work and I'm happy you came all the way down here to do what you do best. The community needs people like you, and the work you're doing is invaluable. Keep it up!
3: joejoe - sadjf;lksjfas;ldj Once I learn the matchup, I'll be back for salty seconds. Mark my words, Socal Sheik player! whoosh
3: Zoap - Someday in the distant future, we will be invaded by aliens who have a secret weakness to scathing **** talk. And when that day comes, I won't even be worried, because I know that the world will be in good hands with you around. Hopefully I'll catch you at a Walt's Weekly or something when I'm back home, I miss playing your Peach.
3: HugQ - Everyone down here is used to my antics because YOU prepared them! I hold you personally responsible, Hugo! Teach me something the next time we play, I have a lot to learn from you.
3: DanteFox - I don't approve of my wins against you, I still think our set could've gone either way. Until the next time we play, I hope we meet again.
3: bob$ - Professor Robert Dirty Dollars, I wish we'd gotten to play more friendlies. Playing against you is so very educational. Your thoughtful play always punishes me for doing stupid ****, and I can never have enough of that. I'll definitely try to seek you out when I'm back in Norcal again.
3: SephirothKen - You refused to say a word to me when I was a complete scrub at TG6 in 2004(2005?). You seem to have matured quite a bit since then, and it was nothing but a blast seeing you play again. Best of luck in your endeavors.
4: pockyD - It was awesome seeing you again down in Socal, I didn't think you cared about smash enough to travel to a tournament, but clearly I was wrong. I hope you keep entering events and I get to play you again sometime down the line, your Sheik is legit.
4: AntoPark - We didn't get to talk much, but I'm curious as to how good your Samus has gotten after Genesis 2. I'm sure you have new tricks to show me, and I wanna see them all. Next time I'm in Socal I'll definitely be looking to get some friendlies in with you.
4: Lovage - The day you give a **** about Melee again will be a national holiday known as Fox Day. Everyone will be given the day off to go home and practice tech skill in their rooms for 24 hours straight. No work. Businesses will close, traffic will halt, all transportation, communication, commerce, it'll all shut down. Nothing but the sound of Melee music, the clacking of controllers, and the blooping of Fox shines. I eagerly await this day.
4: Strong Bad - I'm happy you came out, and it was fun playing you on Sunday night. Your Fox is hilarious. Good luck at ROM and Apex, **** some unsuspecting player up with DK on the stream, and expose them for the fraud that they are.
4: Sheen - Even when you go all the way to Socal, you still bring some of your ****ing enormous TV's. I can't believe how dedicated you are to always show up with some of those monsters. Seriously, good ****, man, I would never be able keep that up for more than two tournaments. I want to play you again when I'm back in Norcal, hopefully we see each other at another tournament.
4: Sparky - Dude. I keep telling you. One day, you will realize. Something will awaken within you, an unmistakeable epiphany about the truth of the world, and you will realize for the first time in your life that you have achieved total clarity upon your sudden awareness that it is a ****ing 50:50 matchup.
4: Sung666 - YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS
4: Aussyboo - There's a magic card that you've always reminded me of, it's called Azusa, Lost but Seeking. It's a rather weak looking creature, but it enables super fast development, and its ability is rather unique out of all the cards in magic. And I think that card is a pretty good fit for you. I didn't think much of you when we both first started out in Norcal, I had a bit of a head start because I had years of semi-casual, semi-competitive experience under my belt, but holy **** did that not make a difference at all. You just kept getting better and better. Every time I come home one of the things I wonder is how good you've gotten, and it always turns out to be better than I expected. You have upheld the creed of the Norcal random: No matter who you are, if you play someone you've never heard of from Norcal, you have a decent and very real chance of just losing. Phenominal play vs Ken, I'm half excited and half afraid to play you when I come back next time, because there's just no telling how much you'll grow by then. I predict it'll again be more than I expect.
5: gkinfinity - From Modesto to Socal, dwam. Good **** making the long trip, you've got so much dedication, man. I hope to get some friendlies in with you next time.

Doing amazing work for the melee community.
