Wow I can't believe you b1tches split at basically an exclusively slo/sb tournament when the grand finals were slo vs. sb.

We can be friends but GOD**** if we don't actually play our rivalries WTF are we?
If the UCSB tournament was held every week, or even every month, I can assure you we wouldn't have split. I think you forgot the feeling of donating money every weekend to DSF.

And maybe if you were there we wouldn't have :)

Next tournament when more of SLO is represented (ie sheen/myself/ross), this will not be the case.
Doubt it would have changed that much... but that's my SB bias. Ross wasn't really ****** me in 64 and melee was even when we played earlier last week.

Gishnak said:
BTW why did Jun get 1st in brawl? I thought warp and jun split, but warp won in winners? Or did they "play it out"?
If you were there you would know that they cared very much about the result.

I believe this is what happened I wasn't there though so this might be inaccurate...

Before winners finals was played out, Junk and Warp knew SRK was in losers finals, and the loser had to play him. Now Junk plays SRK a lot, and knows all of his shenanigan characters. Warp however, was extremely afraid of SRK's possible fox, wolf, hell he was even quoted to be "scared of Sonic because [he] doesn't know the matchup".

Junk, being the beast that he is, decides that he will fight SRK. So they stage a winner finals where Junk loses 0-3 with DDD/MK vs Warp's ZSS. Warp will probably claim he was playing really well and Junk will probably say he didn't know how to fight ZSS with those characters, but anyone in attendance knew of the conspiracy theory that was happening.

So now Junk plays SRK in loser's finals. Sure enough Junk uses SRK's kryptonite, DDD. SRK tries ROB but can't kill Junk until above 200%. Game 2 was fairly boring MK vs DK match where DK can't do anything versus smart use of the B button. Literally every time Junk was down he would hit the B button until it was even. Down 0-2, SRK counterpicks Final Destination. Junk has no idea where SRK is going with this, but figures he's up and he can counterpick SRK so he goes DDD, bracing for Olimar or Metaknight. However, SRK takes a page from Dantarion's book "how to counterpick yourself" and picks sonic. It was a fairly annoying match for Junk as Sonic runs around for 7 minutes doing almost no damage but taking none himself until he gets grabbed.

Anyway, now it's grand finals, Junk vs Warp. Junk goes Marth versus Warp now, and legitimately hands Warp the **** 3-1. Warp will probably claim he wasn't playing as well while simultaneously Junk was channeling every Marth trick known to man. I clearly remember game 2 Junk vs Warp on Lylat where Junk ***** Warp over and over, even with silly mistakes like getting hit by ZSS' broken ledge attack >100% and her respawn fresh side b bull****. The game ended with Junk literally walking up right in front of Warp which made him shield, then turning around before Warp even did anything and Warp rolling right into a up tilt KO.

After this, Warp is extremely afraid of Junk's Marth. He thinks he was closer for the last few games but remembers Junk only played with one counterpick and ***** on that cp... and agrees to Junk's proposal of "Ike v Mario". There is a long history of **** talk between Junk and Warp on Ike v Mario, a 10:90 matchup Ike disadvantage as he gets gimped super easily by Mario's broken water gun and cape. Warp normally ***** Junk in this matchup, and figures this would be an easy 3-0.

Junk however, has been training exclusively with Ike all week. Actually no wait he didn't play Ike at all since he last played Warp with it, god **** that's ****. Regardless, Junk was playing extremely well with Ike too, even doing things such as not punishing Warp's shenanigans with strong moves until he could KO him. After a thrilling 3-1 set which no one watched (even though there were plenty of people watching winners, losers, and first set of grand finals), Junk was crowned champion.

Next time there should be some guilty gear, I totally brought it for nothing! (Also more Brawl+ :p) Also at me quitting Wario, I love Wario too much for that, but playing Ganon was the funnest thing I did at the tourney so ehhh... we'll see. I loled when someone walked up to the Luigi vs Ganon match and was all like "Is this tourney?!" Too bad I signed up for melee but My name wasn't there, oh well doubt I would have won anyway :p (still haven't regained my tech skill and general knowledge of the game)
The Venue was perfect costco pizza and candy was kickass.

The venue was definitely more than adequate. It could of easily fit 50-60 people while still having more room for setups.

More food is always good, but I noticed that some people went in there just for the sole of purpose of taking the food rather than participating in the activities. So possibly a way to better distribute the food would be good.

Also, a low tier or even a Brawl+ tournie would be a nice addition.

Dropped: Junk - honestly i don't know if i can take melee singles seriously if i don't play fox/falco/marth cause otherwise the matches are gayer than brawl
That's not even remotely true. It's just that, in melee, jigglypuff has to know how to exploit her opponent's weaknesses in order to win. You've got to know how to gimp a spacie off the edge, how to wop a marth/shiek/falcon/ how to take and create rest opportunities. Switching to a top tier character will do nothing in the long run. At least as jiggly puff you can't get gimped off the edge very easily. ;)

You completely didn't understand my post.

I'm not talking about high levels of play because I'm not there, and I won't be there for a long time... but even Mango vs M2K sets are pretty gay once M2K starts camping. I just recently watched DEHF vs the norcal fox so I know this game can be gay if one person chooses it to be.

All I really said was I need someone that can consistently approach and pressure like Marth, and I couldn't play him before because of lack of a trigger and lack of interest, and fear that it would mess up my Brawl Marth. If I completely switch over to DDD I'll start playing Melee Marth. Until then I probably won't do Melee singles in tournament.

That doesn't mean I'm not playing Melee hell the only thing my Wii can read right now is Melee so I do random tech stuff if I'm bored.

so what did you guys think of the venue? adequate? more candy and costco pizza? needs mroe cowbell?

also next time should we add any Sf IV or 64?
add low tier. im pretty sure SRK would **** everyone including Warp's mario :laugh:

if someone wants to take me and gosu to ucla, aim or pm me. Otherwise we'll just wait a week and go to scsa.
i'm contemplating going but 1) no teammate 2) frankly i got screwed $45 by the school/gosu so i'm hesitant

Okay that's a start. Always looking to run better tourney's even though in all likelyhood I won't be around for future ones

you could always try and team with Unknownpresence. :p

and TPS still holds you to the ticket. sorry dude. I can pay you back like $20 for that since I don't really have $45. I thought you'd park in lot 23 since it has a service road that went directly to the venue. I didn't realize Dante circled the other one in the map.

Hey jun you want me to lend you my little make shift cleaning disk, see if that works?
I can't make any guarantees, but it's worked like a charm for me. Even though I'm glad you're playing melee now lol.

Just insert it, wait for the sound it makes when it spins, then it'll show a disk read error cuz it can't be read, then just eject it.

Well, I changed my mind because I noticed some due dates were not as early as I thought they were, so let's go to UCLA. So far Sheen and Chris might want to go from SLO. So who all wants to come? Also, Jun do you have any interest in going to tourneyplay? I was thinking about doing it...

I'm sure everyone can go if Jun is going. I mean we can always take 2 cars. I just want to know who all the people are who want to go so we can get it all worked out.

This weekend, it's just Pink Reaper and I as far as melee is concerned. Next weekend, it will probably be us + Gishnak.

Edit: Who won doubles at your tournament? We'll take you on too.
