If the crew battle is NSW vs Perth I'll have to resume my old school status as a treacherous 'doesn't cheer for Perth' backstabber, please don't put that pressure on me

Most improved Melee veteran: Attila seems to have been entering Melee for years and used to be pretty bad but doesn't suck quite as much now. Otherwise Splice.

Most improved Melee newcomer: wouldn't have a clue lol. Sebby maybe but he won at BAM so would like to look for someone different.

Most improved Project M: Nido

M2K award: Jei Attila Apollo and Earl stand as the players that have timed me out in tournament so one of them.

Chibo award: Attila or Jei

Brawl father: Attila lol

Community contribution: Attila...or Dekar / Redact

Ponting: SurPr15e


Probably completely wrong though lol

Splice as most improved. Although Attila has reached a new level recently.

Miles or Sebby for sure.

Yep Nido for PM

This is all vic biased honestly I don't know much about the other states.

m2k award....?? I don't know Ted I guess but that was ages ago. In vic probably me or earl

chibo: dean/attila, I did a lot of work to maintain the brawl scene years back but haven't put much effort in lately, the TOs should get the credit.

Brawl father is Attila. But I am the smash daddy. Pls don't take that away from me.

Dekar/Phil/Attila for vic community champs

ponting: I dunno don't care really

No offense to Attila but he doesn't put in the big effort that makes him an ideal candidate. Brawl is his game.
Cup and moxie are making waves recently they could be candidates for newer melee players

fair enough point, I nominated Attila for like half those awards so I'm sure he can stand to miss this one lol. you'd know the scene better than I do.

Just out of curiosity, why are people saying Nido?

He placed better in the first PM tournaments than he has more recently.

To me myself at least, thats not improving.

Not saying he isn't being looked at ;) just feels like hasty thoughts that people have gone "Nido isn't a melee vet, he must be most improved!"

The improvement is about actually getting better.

Do you guys remember how dekar was like 9th or something at BAM in pm?

Pretty sure he has been placing 1st or second in PM now... The kid has improved to get his moneys.

Just food for thought 8)

Ain't all bout placings homies, I've seen a lot of improvement from people whose placings have not yet changed too much.
And be real Phil the only adjustment Dekar has made to his PM game is actually looking at the screen while he gimps ppl.

And this my friends, is why S.D is on the panel.

He knows how to spot real improvements unlike dekars fake ones.

Dekar probably still couldn't tell you how to play any non melee match up.

Someone really needs to ivysaur or lucario him...

my justification for Nido would probably be the guy went from being a bit of a Smash nobody (had been attending tournaments for a couple of years, fairly unremarkable Brawl placings...eh) to suddenly placing top four in large events filled with 5+ year Smash veterans (not in Project:M obviously, but still)

if I were to vote for who'd improved since their first tournament I'd probably vote for my boy Hughie

I only know Vic, but i would say:

Most improved veteran - Melee:
Splice, although you have always had good tournament results, you have cemented yourself as a top Vic player (between 4-6). Now stop running into me in bracket plz.

Most improved newcomer - Melee:
Seb or JKTS

Most improved - Project M:
I like what redact said, Dekar has shown a big improvement, I don't know PM players well enough otherwise besides dreadtech

M2K Award - Brawl:
No idea. Splice?

Chibo Award - Brawl:
Attila

The Father of Brawl:
Attila

Community Contribution Award:
Dreadtech or the other veterans (Redeact, Dekar, Attila)

Harry Ponting Award:
Surpri5e

i got lots of pit xp at acl, watch out sd

worth noting that the reason brawl has 3 awards (in contrast to melee's 2 and pm's 1) is that this is likely to be the last major australian brawl tournament, at least for some time (with the upcoming release of smash 4)
these brawl awards are about recognizing players of the game's rich competitive history since release (who could forget such classic australian smash moments as corpse coming from nowhere and winning rocky, or earl and scoot in the final stock of the VIC/NSW brawl crew battle)

i like the timeout award too coz y'know... brawl timeouts
good choices attila


back on the improvement awards... DD is placing better than ever in PM and i like codie's JKTS suggestion
perhaps some of these awards will be influenced by the performances at shadowloo
most vics improving nicely... for instance i reckon nowadays syke is an easy win for redact, and perhaps splice also #trashtalk
