Thanks for all the matches to everyone. Thanks to Winston and Wenbo for the housing, I will be back for sure.

Hope I can continue to get back into this game and start contributing to the community again.

 

[Afrobandit24]

I really enjoyed the tourny and look forward to attending more. Gonna try to not be so nervous since this was my first tourny lol.

Hit me up if anyone wants to smash in DC!

 

[The Newb]

Man, that VIST...

 

[ChivalRuse]

No I'm cool with that set. I got ***** by Laijin. Time to step it up.

 

[otg]

Good **** Vist!!

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

VISSSSSSSTTTTTTT!

Good ****. Sorry for not coming out like I said I would. Next time!

 

[Laijin]

God dammit. I need to practice more.

So do I.
I need to practice more as well. I shouldn't have lost to Chillin as badly as I did

Vist is amazing.

 

[Ghostype]

Good **** Windows Vista Pro Edition.

DKShaun - didn't know you were coming as well...ah well I'll try to come to next one

 

[JCaesar]

Fun times, can't wait for the next one! If there is one. Keep us updated on that situation Chris.

 

[Wenbobular]

For the record, I used Falco Falcon Marth in singles. No Fox.
Also I don't believe I pulled out the Falcon at all in teams.

Vist on fire for this one, congrats

Nice meeting all the new people, too bad Richmond couldn't make it

I'll see how long it takes to get my vids up ¬.¬

[Niko45]

Whoa a Luigi taking it down. Respect.

 

[daisho]

Can't believe I literally slept through this entire tournament... oh well saved $10

 

[Voodoo Daddy]

Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist!

 

[Bones0]

CTL: Pro TOing. Glad you hosted, and glad I could come down. I hope to come to more tournaments now that my man DJ can drive me around. Just fyi, I didn't use Marth in tourney. Just all Falco.
Vist: You're not even good at this game. You only win because you play Luigi (read: Roy).
JCaesar: G&W dittos are too legit. My Project M Falco, not so much. XD
Wenz: UMAD?!?
Wenbo: UTIRED?!?
The Cape: Marth should definitely use his cape.
Winston: You seriously help my gameplay so much. Thanks for all the advice.
Thumbs: You always uthrow and jump backwards stomp spacies; just sayin'. Still destroyed me. lol
DK Smash: "I am a monkey. I don't know anything about this technology!" - in reference to my laser spammage
Takeover & Bloodynite: Glad to see people dropping barlw to play Melee.

Basically an awesome tourney. I definitely feel like I improved even more. You should have seen me grabbing as Falco, Voodoo!

 

[LLDL]

Wow i've never heard of vist. Good ****.

One guy came to play piano. Then he said that his floor played Melee all the time. Since he was in Cambridge and there was an Andrew on his floor, I assumed that was your floor. I asked him to see if your floor wanted to play, but I also warned that your floor can't stand a chance against anyone there. So he left and never came back.

 

[ChivalRuse]

You put the fear of **** in 'im.

Yeah it probably was from my floor. A bunch of us stayed up all night watching avatar the last airbender so we were all sleeping or too tired to come over even though it was literally right there.

Oh come on now. He could have beaten me at least.

whoaaa luigi

 

[Takeover1806]

Naw Bones, my primary game is still brawl.
Imma just play melee for fun, don't feel like the melee community is influential enough for me to be competitively interested. Just like G-reg said, only the die hard and old melee players really play this game.
Melee is always fun to watch at a high level though.

I'm also going to hopefully still go to CP friday smashfests too.

ehhhh. The community is growing. Sure there are waaay less frequent new players than before. But every now and then there are someone new joins up.

But yea totally understandable. I play this game cause its a ton of fun. Can't say I have ever had as much fun playing any other game thats not melee.

Yeah, when people inevitably lose all interest in Brawl we will officially be no more.

 

[Bones0]

I'd think that as people lose interest in Brawl that Melee would actually get a good amount of players coming back. Sort of like another RoM.

 

[BigWenz]

iono i honestly think the reason why melee isnt so popular in this area is cause brawl is so popular in this area and brawl is a hell of alot easier to get into and get good at then melee is. also since we dont have a player atm who can be considered top 10 in the country people feel the region is dead. if we can get a player close to the top 10 i gurantee the region would come alive again.

[Takeover1806]

I mean all of you guy's are cool and chill to hang out with.
Clyde, wenz, seb, winston, wenbo, chivalruse, and to tired to think of others I met. lol

I would say though if melee was the primary game and brawl just died for some reason in this region, I would def. play melee competitively.

Also since I've watched a TON of melee, I'm not as excited to play the game as players that are new to the game when they first come into the smash scene.

I know when I first found out about smash competitively, MELEE WAS SO AMAZING. lol
But everybody played brawl so I was like lemme just learn how to play this game.
And so far I didn't regret one bit playing brawl, I love the community.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

Personally I think if all goes well everyone should play Project: M. There's a few flaws at the moment, but overall the game is fun, and most of all, new. It's got everything we like in melee, and adds to that.

but can it run Crisis?

my boy Vist reppin that caboose juice

[Vist]

thanks guys

btw I can totally understand why Melee may not be all that appealing to get into competitively these days. It's definitely not an easy game to pick up and be good at, at least compared to brawl and the tournament attendance isn't as big (at least in this region). I still see new faces getting into the game though, and they're usually either just tired of brawl or simply have too much fun playing melee or witnessing crazy *** matches. I thought melee was dying years ago (like 2004 lol) and after being so wrong I can only think that it's still going to be played for a while longer.

I had a brawl phase for a while and was pretty optimistic about it being a good competitive game. I loved how so many people were playing it since it was the new thing and it's still got that. A lot of people say this, but I never really had as much fun playing brawl as I had / have with melee. I couldn't play stupidly aggressive like I usually do and have it get me anywhere so I wasn't much good at it either. Since winning money was never really my main interest in game tournaments anyway, I ended up coming back to melee since it's still fun as fawk after all these years.
