Hello smashers!

I've been tasked to inform everyone about a regional/national Super Smash Bros. Brawl tourney happening in Utah!

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=263780

It is happening the last weekend of May. For more information, look in the OP of the thread. Post in there if you have any questions regarding rides, fees, housing, or anything else regarding the tourney.

We hope to see you there!

ah, don't worry about it brian, it happens to everybody once in a while

honestly, a really good way to get around frustration is trying to remove the pressure you put on yourself to perform well

i asked larry and mango about not choking in tournament and they said the best way was to just go about it like you were playing a friendly, and try to "****"

anyways, i just got done with class so i'll head on up there now
no truman, i'm not bringing my TV

see everyone there!!

yeah, that sounds good.
mostly i think when i havent played for a week or so i tend to think about all this stuff i want to try out, and then when i cant even do the stuff i used to do consistently i get frustrated.

plus, i never feel like i can do anything right when im playing in a 4 man rotation. whenever my turn comes up it feels kinda like i need to warm up and get in a rhythm again, and then the match ends and i have to wait 6-10 minutes to play.

rotations blow

and not pressuring yourself at all is really good. in tourney i always (used to) freeze up and play like a robot
now that im back i just try to do what i want and get a **** combo when i get the chance
a long time ago hugo was talking about how the adrenaline makes you play worse and you gotta just try and make it go away

adrenaline/pressure is really good for you

except you have to put it towards your **** energy instead of your worry energy




tonight was hella fun
matt, michael, jin, johnny, thanks for coming up
vincent, you should play with us tomorrow! :)

yeah there's still a lot of interest, but personally i think the apartment lounge is a better location. i'm gonna go rock climbing tonight, so that'd be even better cause we can stay there later

i'll try to hit it hard and get back to campus around 9 or 9:30 for some more play time

everyone else cool with the crown/merrill apartment lounge for tonight??

I'm down. Playing after 8:30 is always best for me because of parking on campus anyway.

I just got back from skiing about half an hour ago. Needless to say rock climbing didn't happen. I skied for 4 days in possibly the best snow I've ever seen.

Wednesday sounds awesome, same time/place as last week?

I am bringing Darrell down to SC from SJ on Thursday after the Sharks game gets out.
