Please correct me on characters. I didn't watch every set so I had to make some guesses. In particular I bet Wes, Likewise, and Sung probably used other characters but I didn't want to write it down unless I was sure.

 

[HairyNipples]

Dats right :D

[Beat!]

Westballz beating s2j again and Lovage getting 5th?

[shadrach kabango]

Please correct me on characters. I didn't watch every set so I had to make some guesses. In particular I bet Wes, Likewise, and Sung probably used other characters but I didn't want to write it down unless I was sure.

i was 100% fox except for match 5 v hyprid/matt in teams where i was sheik

(poor decision)

hey arian, did you see this?

http://wagesofwins.com/2012/04/27/picking-the-games-for-round-1-of-the-2012-nba-playoffs/#more-9825

fwiw wages of wins was one of the few places that had mia/dal as a toss-up in last year's finals

the top 6 accounting for 99% of playoff wins was really interesting to me

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Westballz: good job winning. hope you had fun bro.
s2j: gj you were playing on point; really entertaining to watch
Fly Amanita: you are one of the most mentally in tune players I have ever seen. I've yet to see you flustered. You never choke. Its really impressive. Teach me your ways zen master :o
Baka4moe: 4th? Well done in tourney homie. always fun to see you & the rest of caltech; feels like its been a while. I should smash with you guys sometime soon

Lovage: thx for coming out. you da bess

Hairy Nips: def opened some eyes. really impressive showing
KFC: finally met you! watching your marth always gets me going. Sorry I had to cheer against you v dendy but hes my training partner. you know how it is.

A rookie: so fun chillin and playing with you the day before the tourney. ggsssss
Dr Awesome: omg stop exposing me and sung. you ***** us in teams

SQUID: thx for teaming bro youre an awesome/funny guy. cant wait to see you again, you def make things more fun
Nardis/Lilian: You guys don't even check smashboards but baka should tell you that i'm really happy ya'll made it out

(poor decision)

hey arian, did you see this?

http://wagesofwins.com/2012/04/27/picking-the-games-for-round-1-of-the-2012-nba-playoffs/#more-9825

Yeah, this year is really top heavy so I expect that trend to continue too.

I'm pretty proud of myself for picking the Hawks over Boston tho. Anto would be happy lol

(interesting article btw. even tho i dont agree with some of it; i think the 7th guy off the bench is still valuable in the playoffs. everything after the 8th or so guy is probably meaningless tho. & picking DEN over LAL seems like a silly pick to me when DEN has to play McGee to match size. Javale McGee.)

 

[tarheeljks]

off topic but wages of wins is a joke lol

edit: like it is the worst of the advanced metrics. has the most bizarre results (go back through the years and look at its top players lol) and is the least predictive (in large part b/c it counts possessions in a nonsensical way, but also b/c he places 0 value on shot creation). if you bet using wow you'd go broke in a hurry


socal is crazy


edit: was teams recorded?

 

[Juggleguy]

Westballz is too ****ing good.

 

[shadrach kabango]

tarheel is right

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Quick shout-outs:

1: Westballz- Congrats on the win and your recent great performances in general.
2: s2j- Too good as always. Back to the drawing board for me.
4: Baka4moe- I generally do use ICs a decent bit against Peaches nowadays, but I fall back on secondaries when things don't work out as I hope they would; I lost on FD with ICs, although that's one of my favorite stages in the match-up, so I went back to Sheik for the rest of the set.
5: Hyprid- You played well throughout the losers bracket. Good stuff.
5: Lovage- I'm not sure what got into you, but I hope to see you playing up to your usual standards again soon.
7: stabbedbyanipple- Nice job in tourney and thanks for the ride.
7: Sung- I'm probably better against Marth than I am against Falco (although I think I'm reasonably good at both of those MUs), so trying that wasn't in your best interest.
9: Hairy Nips- Really good showing for an inexperienced player. Keep up the good work.
9: KFC- It's awesome actually seeing you at tourneys again. It looked like you were a little off and making some weird decisions when I saw you play in bracket, but you're better than that and can hopefully step up the consistency soon enough.
9: Likewise- Yeah, I don't play friendlies often; just ask me to and I will, unless it's right after the tourney, in which case I usually don't want to.
9: DendyPretendy- Good job making bracket and good stuff taking a game off KFC.
13: Sniper- It's nice actually seeing you at tourneys again.
13: Manatee- You have some really weird habits, but are pretty good.
13: A rookie- Nice seeing you again, and I enjoyed your vending machine antics.
13: Signia- Nice talk on the rides to and from the tourney, and nice job making bracket.
17: Peligro- Fun double Peach team friendlies.
17: Squid- Fun talking to you and playing you. You're still pretty good in spite of having been out of the scene forever.
21: TheCrimsonBlur- Maintaining composure is hard. I was really bad at it for a long time and still occasionally am, but I just try to keep emotions at bay since they never do any good.
25: Commonyoshi- The state that we left the vending machine in was amusing.
25: QZZY- I think going Sheik against ICs unless you have a lot of experience in the MU is questionable since you really need to know how to avoid weird grabs to stand a chance. Then again, doing well against ICs in general without a lot of experience against them is hard.

 

[Silly Kyle]

Good job Westballz for winning!

Great job Baka for beating Lovage! Love seeing Peach players do well. <3

 

[HairyNipples]

I Just love Socal Melee :D. I appreciate everyones tips and help at the tourney :D Johnny for sitting me dwn and teaching me to falcon.

 

[GMhyprid]

Stab: I thought you did better than I did in teams, but somehow it mostly worked out. Also, for some reason I played well against you in singles.

Squid: Always a pleasure to talk with you, especially when it involves calling Terran OP. I'm glad to see you get back into Melee.

Sung: You kept living in our singles set, and you're Falco. You definitely made it hard for me to finish off your stocks. After the tournament, I really enjoyed the car ride.

Dendy: We can do much better in teams friendlies next time.

Baka: Great job at this tournament. You might be making a breakthrough in your improvement.

Wes: My god I stand no chance against you.

Fly: Same with Wes. I don't know how you can win nearly every single game against me with such consistency.

Tapez: Our set in pools what quite the challenge. Keep it up.

Peligro and Manatee: Every tournament ever. Also Manatee, please refrain from killing me efficiently so often.

Commonyoshi: I enjoy play friendlies with you. I don't like getting shine spiked though.

Crimson: Glad I can be an inspiration to somebody despite how much better other players are. Hopefully I'll be a better inspiration in the future.

Likewise: Earlier in our friendlies, I tried to go crazy with my Dtilit approaches, but you kept stuffing them with aerials. So I thought, "what if I just wait a at varying increments then approach to be less predictable?" Sometimes "camping" works out I guess. It was a good learning experience.

KFC: Sorry to hear that you were feeling down in bracket. It happens to everyone sometimes. From my experience at the tournament, I am still convinced that you are a better player than me.

 

[baka4moé]

^^ "to falcon" lol its a verb now? nice

and thanks silly kyle! gj to you too!

 

[LLDL]

Damn westballz is on fire now

 

[commonyoshi]

All you people who doubt my vending machine-stealing-skills suck. You guys messed with the formula!

Hyprid, I'm sure 99% of my kills against you were shine spikes.
And KFC, if you actually came to more tournaments we might start cheering for you, haha. You're really good.

Damn, I hate shout outs so no more.

 

[shadrach kabango]

hate to bug you two days after the tourny but

when will vids be up?

thanks for recording

any commentary? i heard u mention u cant record sound?

 

[SUNG666]

^There will be commentary that's why I brought my laptop (he records audio with my laptop then syncs it to his video files on his laptop

There wasn't any in the SB tournament cause I didn't bring my laptop there
