First, ive been looking into going to Paris. When I said it would be cheap as chips . . . it isn't. I don't get how its so expensive 4 months ahead. Last time I went to Paris it cost me £25 return and ive not paid more than £40 for a European tournament and thats booking only a month in advance =/
Im presuming its all due to that Environmental bill Labour just pushed through, forcing airline tax up =/ . Anyway, its around £54 return. Im still going and would hope alot of you will still go. Just save up your pennies, it'll be worth it and if your into your smash then European tournaments are were you'll see and play the best of the best.
I'll be booking early January, im hoping after the Xmas and New Year period that Ryanair and the likes will be having one of their offer periods (happens alot) but we will see. Regardless, get yourself there.
Now for Shoutouts :
TOAST
------------
Charles - Our set was very tight as normal. Your jiggs is improving, concentrate on your rests ( you know that anyway). Becoming better at rests will force you into the top four , im sure
. Just remember that vs Peach there isn't that much I can do to punish a missed rest!
Regardign the boasting. I don't have a problem with that, infact im not sure what people are on about. Thing is though, I know you respect me. Maybe your little to in the face with people that you don't think are as good at the game ?! jsut remember an attitude like that can bite you on the ***, you don't know who'll turn out to be a beast.
Alex - Only played you briefly. Was impressed witht eh technical aspect of your Marth, very nice. Just don't rely on speeding your game up to win, with Peach it became easy to turnip combo and shield grab you. Work on your spacing and looking for openings in your opponent.
Craig - Step it up man. Should've made it out of your pool. Start shielding more and actively defending, instead of looking to be offensive all the time. You rarely shield grab =/ , its hurting you bad.
Paul - Impressed man. Your fox was alot better. Your tech game is great and your even able to do it under pressure, which i nice to see from a fox player. Definetly could tell you were thinking. Lets sort your DI out though, once again same as craig work on your defence and alot mor eupsmashes, up airs and shinespikes. Your fox will still look the sex. Not all shinespikes are easy to do. A good player will know its coming and know where a fox player will usually think their going. Hence, they'll throw a move in their recovery / DI / air control/air dodge a certain way to avoid it. If you can SEE that comign AND still shinespike them = sex.

Great seeing you guys, enjoyed all your company and its great having you guys in the community. Mario Kart crew match next time =s
Spam - Nice Marth, was little too stoned when playing you and my hands weren't accurate. Was scared of being tippered =x. Anyway, I enjoy your Marth style. Very different from stevie and alex. Looking forward to the dent you make at TNJ ; )
Ouch - Didn't see your Falco in action man, sorry =(. Did hear you put Twiggy out and was impressed. Keep practicing and hope that car journey went ok.
Owna - Nice Yoshi man , well done on sticking Stevie out. Keep on practicing , though not sure how far you'll get with the Yoshi =/

MrP - As I said earlier our set could've gone either way. Was the closest set I played all tournament and the set I enjoyed the most. Peach dittos are always going to be nail biters ^_^
Zeppo - Lovng our rivalry man and loving playing a sexy falcon. Great having you around and challenging the older players.

Nice meeting you all, great having a new crew up for learning Smash. Just keep practicing, its a painfully harsh learning curve. Disappointed in your lack of drinking =/
Joe - Keep practicing man, and listen to what me and Stevie have bestowed on you! Thanks for the card man, its standing majestically on our mantlepiece lol.

Adam - Your a legend. Came through for me when I needed mates there the most. Cheers dude. I know you ain't big into the Smash thing but its great you came down. Will be seeing you in January. You come down Wed, then we go back upto Glasgow for the weekend. I may even have money to go out =x . As I say, become the European Bach, you love your camera stuff =)
Stevie - You played like crap in doubles and played worse in singles. You know your better than that and ill leave it there. Top 7 at TNJ or il not be happy.
Richy - Don't worry man, you got a cube now and ability to practice. Just a shame your used to playingmy peach =x
Phil - Couldn't believe you got so far. Thought you might've been competition but . . meh. Maybe next time eh?! lol your mint and we'll convoy down to TNJ. You'll lose at though =x
Neil - You proved your sdb qualities this weekend , alot of drugs, alot of smash and alot of alcohol. Just need to work on the smash side haha but yeah man get yourself up SOON with phil for a weekend. You guys rock.
Jam - We've spoke
Scott/Dan - Don't let me down again
Ryan - ?

Jake - Next time I won't lose. I don't play Samus ever and I think ive got the matchup now. Regardless I enjoy our sets but hate you + FD LOL . Keep getting better ^^
Caleb - Did we peach ditto or not? I can't remember. Anyway, lets concentrate on that peach man
Paul - I was disappointed you used your ICs against me. For one Peach ****s on them and for two your counterpick stages were woeful. Except for the infinite your IC game is easy to read and basic. Lets concentrate on your Sheik game and being able to play all top n high tier matchups. You've got plenty of Peachs to practice against.
Amy - Relax missy and enjoy the game ^_^ . Your Peach impressed me. Add me on msn
ceddon@hotmail.com and fire questions my way. Hopefulyl I can help you get better =0). Enjoyed getting wrecked with ya =x
Joey - Your a really nice guy and I appreciated your txt man. Makes hosting worthwhile. All the lads enjoyed your company and your more than welcome anytime. Don't worry your good at smash and you'll break pools and the top ten badly soon!
Sabo - Didn't get to play, ill sort that out in Yeovil!

Q - Class seeing you man, your alot better at smash than I thought. Get yourself down with Pict as much as possible. Monthly at end of Jan !
Doug - Maybe next time ill give you a better set. Once again I was satisfied to get so far =/ I need to get out of that habit and go for the throat. My Peach will push you at TNJ, I promise.
Martin - Your Sheik was alright man,keep practicing with the London lot. You know the Mountain you've got to climb!!!!!
