SHOUTOUT TIME!
This shout out post should pretty much cover everything!
Better late than never, right? =p
Oh btw, if you think I have smileyoverkill in my shout outs, I just want to say:
I love smileys! =D
Here comes a wall of text. If I forgot someone; tell me, and I'll write a shoutout
right away! I hope you take time to read them, cuz I've used like 4 hours to write it
all down!
I first wanna say that I met a lot of awesome guys here, and I'd really love to stay
in touch, so here's my instant messaging names and e-mails. Feel free to add me:
MSN: gribb_14@hotmail.com
AIM: SSBMTonberry (don't use it that much, but I'm logging on time to time)
E-mail: ssbmtonberry@gmail.com
Germans & Austrians:
UCK: Great tournament! You gave a lot to make this tourney good, and you did
pretty well, considering this was your first tourney and all. I also wanna thank you
for housing the other Norwegians and me. We really appreciated that! Also, your father
was awesome! You're great guy as well, and I really hope I'll see you again soon!
I heard you didn't find your bag, and that's pretty sad. Losing stuff that
costs a ****load of money is not cool. I still hope you'll find it, somehow.
Even though the tourney was great, I have some things I want to mention to improve
a possible second tourney, and that is:
- Never break your own rules. I think you know what I'm talking about here, so I'm not
going to go further into this. But remember that; as the lead organizer you should
always behave as a good example, and therefore never break your own rules. If you're
not following your own rules, others won't either.
- Always follow the schedule! I noticed that some tourneys started later than scheduled,
and that went out fine this time, but often this might cause big problems. To prevent
things like this, start preparations 1-2 hours before the tournament. You will find it
less stressful, and the tourney will run smoother. If you can't do the preparations
yourself, of some reason, make sure that another trustworthy guy/organizer does it for
you =)
- Always mark the TVs. It makes things a lot easier when announcing matches, and makes
pools go
a lot smoother, as you can just dedicate some TVs to each pool, and
in that way every pool has the same ammount of TVs, and you don't experience pools that
are far behind the schedule cuz they never found a TV. Easy example: write the TV-numbers
on the pool paper. Like "TVs: 2, 3 and 5".
Again; a pretty good tournament, and I hope you'll do it again some time. Yes, it's stressful,
but it's worth it! =)
Däumling: You're german, right? I know you're not Swedish, so I just suppose you're
a german, judging your nick =P You got really good ICs! I had a hard time, and I didn't
really think there were other good ICs in Europe but Smasher89 and BÄST, but I certainly
was wrong! It's hard to say for me, cuz I didn't see you play against someone with less
ICs experience than me, but I think you are as good as Smasher89, at least =)
Hope to play you again, some time =)
Drrrwisch: Nice nick! I had a hard time pronouncing it =p
I wanna know though: do you use the German or the English pronounce of the letter 'r'?
Ice Nice Marth!
Fa5t: A speed runner, eh? That pretty much explains your nick! Funny pool matches!
Hope to see some speed runner vids from you some time. PM me, send me a mail, or whatever
with URLs to your vids, if you have some. I find speed running entertaining =)
Luma: WTF!? You did really well in Singles! You have improved a lot since last time
I saw you play! Too bad you were lame and left before finishing your tournament matches! =(
Sup with that, anyway? You better have a good reason for what you did, mister! >(
Btw; we did not have our Capri Sonne MM, which is too bad! I must admit, though: I bought a
lot of Capri Sonne while I were in Germany
6 Boxes, and even though I gave away some
of them, plus someone had fun stealing some of my dear Capri Sonne, I didn't have anything left
after the tournament. Hope to see you again soon!
Makkura: Metal up your ***! Really cool seeing you again! I also noticed that you've
got a pretty nice Ganon! Considering you ***** Cash Mooney so much that he tried to get away
from it all by saying that he forfeited the matches(no offence, Cash), you must be a beast!
You should be less brutal to other people, bro! Btw, Ganon is a very interesting character,
with a lot of potential. Even against projectile characters like Falco! I hope you continue
elvolving your metagame with Ganon, like Qlex is doing, rather starting to main the characters
everyone else is playing. I respect you and Qlex for being Ganon-players! Our tournament
matches was awesome too! I really enjoyed them, though Ganon VS Falco is a very though matchup
for you...
I wished we talked more, but I simply forgot to go back to you, somehow. Next time!
Pasi: Sweet friendlies. Lame that you left before the tourney was done, though.
You were really good, and have a lot of potential!
Tero: Cool seeing you again! We did have some really funny friendlies as well!
Didn't talk that much this time, but I'll see you soon on another European tourney =)
Yomi-no-Kuni: Hey, man! good to see you again! Didn't talk that much this time, though,
but I must say that having live streaming was awesome! I even borrowed your computer to chat
on your streaming channel, hope that's okay =P If it wasn't: please don't kill me! =(
Hope to see you on a tourney soon!
Witchking of Angmar: When I first heard you speak, I thought you were American. Then
I heard you speak german, and I was like "WTF? how can a German guy speak so clean American?"
Then it became pretty much obvious to me when you told me you've been in America for four years.
I've never seen you before, but cool to hear that you're a Melee player and stuff. Fun
speaking with you as well. Didn't play any friendlies though, but that can wait 'till later.
Hopefully I'll see you at another tourney soon.
The Dutchies!
Adam: You're just getting better and better. I still consider you as a mini-Amsah.
Haven't played you in a long time, but I hope to do that pretty soon. Maybe some time on another
European tourney. I don't expect you to retire in the near future. Retireing is ********,
you know
Amsah: In most sports, even in smash, most people that are getting really good(or regional
champions, if you like) often gets consumed by their own ego, and don't accept a loss. They
just throw away all sportsmanship, and thinks the "me, myself and I"-way. They think they are more
"awesome" than anyone else, and therefore do whatever they can to defend their title by words.
It's a common issue that success often blows peoples minds.
Fortunately that's never been a case in Europe, and I'm proud of being a part of the European
community. All the top professionals in Europe, as I know, are good sportsmen. Like you, Armada,
Ek(at his time of smash), Calle W and so forth. As you say yourself: sooner or later a champion
must fall, but a good thing about that is that you get a new rival, and a new goal!
And I think Armada is a really tough rival. I wish you good luck in your future tourneys, and
I hope that will be a lot of tourneys from today. I heard that you are planning to attend Genesis
as well. If so, show them what Europe has to offer
Old games like Starcraft is still alive, so I don't see why awesome games like Melee should die.
Faab: Kankerhoofd! I dunno if I spelled it right, but man you dutch guys got a lot of
funny words, haha! Cool to see you again, and gratz winning teams! Evil of you to steal my Capri
Sonne though =( Didn't play that much, but it was entertaining to both speak with you, and
to watch you tease som random guys, lol. Is that how you do warmups for the tourney, or what?
Lawrencelot: I think you forgot me in your shoutouts. Either that, or I am not worth
a shoutout =( Anyways, here's mine: Cool MM! Can't really say more, cuz we didn't speak, nor
did we play more than the MMs, but we had good games nonetheless.
Marc: Good to see you again! Too bad we didn't play this time either. Also I wanna add that
I think you can do a lot better than you did on this tournament. Everybody has a bad tourney some
time. I dunno if this is due to rustyness, a bad day, or even too much Brawl compared to Melee,
but I know you can do better. Hope to see you in another tournament soon.
Reven(Remen): Never played you until now, and I must say you got a quite amazing Fox! Didn't
expect anything less though. Good matches, but the last one was really cruel. You arseraped
me that match with a 3-stock, without getting a single shine-kill. Impressive! I should've
picked Rainbow Ride! =(
Hope to play you again some time!
PS. The reason why I call you "Reven" is because Reven means "The Fox" in Norwegian.
That's pretty funny =)
Ryuker: Awesome to see you again! Didn't talk that much this time, though
However, we'll do that on the next tourney. Maybe we can do
some awesome friendlies as well
PS. Nice teams-friendlies! Funny as hell :O
THE AWESOME DUTCH BRAWL PLAYER: I don't know why, but I can't really remember your nick.
Forgive me ._. Anyways; it was really cool to hang out with you, and talk. You're a really nice
guy, and I hope your matches turned out well. I suck in Big Brain Academy, but the game seems
cool enough. Maybe I'll buy a DS some time.
I'd love to stay in touch with you. If you see this shoutout, please add me on MSN, or even
send me an e-mail. Hope to see you soon ^^
Zgetto: Last time I saw you play was at RoX4, and then you were pretty good. But that is
nothing compared to how you play now! Wow, I'm impressed. Hope to play against you in the future.
Gratz for winning teams btw!
The Finnish dewds!
<3Finland
Samochan: Nice to see you again, and gratz for getting first in your pool!
We had some nice conversations, and a few friendlies. Also we had a very enjoyable MM!
Neutroni: We finally got to play some matches
Your Marth is really good, as expected.
Hope to see you soon!
Vilness: You're awesome! Too bad I haven't met you before. It was nice talking with you,
and our MM was cool as well. You got a really good Luigi too D=
Btw, if you got some MP3s with songs from your band, I'd love to have some of them. My favourite
bands are all finnish. I don't know why, but Finland is awesome when it comes to music composing,
and since you are finnish, you probably have a mastermind when it comes to music :O
The Frenchies!
Baxon: Awesome to see you again! Too bad we didn't play any matches though, except
for the crews matches. I also wished we talked more, but the time passed by so fast.
I still think you could've beaten Chrisboi though, but I know you got big problems against Marth
players. I guess I'll see you in Lyon, and hopefully we'll play lots of friendlies and stuff then.
I can even give you some Marth-training
Porc: Nice to see you again! You've got quite a good Samus, and it had improved a lot
since last time from what I saw. Too bad we didn't play, but we'll do that later, I guess =)
And I just have to say it, even though this is not for SMACK: OMFG@beating Remen at ESA3!
You're crazy man!
Beard is manly, btw. Never cut it :O
Salepate: We didn't plaaaay! =( Didn't see any matches of you this time either,
but I don't doubt a second that you ***** people with the "grasscutter!"
Really nice to see that you could come to this tourney after all! As with all the other Frenchies,
it's always awesome to speak with you! I miss Lyon though, but I guess I'll see you guys at your
4th tourney!
Poilon: Cool seeing you again, and nice played as well! Did your matches against Luma get
recorded? I really can't believe he beat you. That guy must have become a monster! I enjoyed our
friendlies, and I'm glad I didn't meet you in the bracket. I still have nightmares from Lyon =p
Your playing style simply counters mine. Cool to talk to you again, and I must say that it's nice to
drive for 12 hours by car to Germany. Hopefully I'll see you again in Lyon!
The Norwegians!
Askelink: Må jo gi deg en shoutout også, men veit ikke helt hva jeg skal skrive.
Heftig reise var det i alle fall. Til tross for at du ble eid av søpla på toget, virket
det som du hadde en kul tur. Dessuten ble det tatt heftige bilder av deg. Så et skikkelig
heftig et som var linka på et av topicene på smashboards!
Blackmoose: Nok en utenlandsk turnering på negeræljen. Er jo alltid kult å reise med deg,
og isen i Tyskland var heftig også :O Moro at du kom inn på "Sex Up Your Life", mens Philip nesten
ble kastet ut fordi tyskere suger i matte
Gratz med å vinne en match mot Remen og Cash.
Sånn man skal spille!
Efen: Heftige teamsmatcher, og bra spilt i Singles. Forhåpentligvis lærte du svenskene
hvorfor man ikke kan ha kvart i seksern på klokka også.
Jeg skjønte ikke helt det morsomme med å gjenta ting jeg sa med CP-stemme hele tiden, men jeg
ville ikke satse på å bli imitator, om jeg var deg
Det at du dissa latteren min likte jeg da.
Flikkflakk: Bra spilt i både Singles og Teams. Teams-matchene var heftige som faen,
og dere spilte bra, som vanlig.
Hadde du ikke gjort så mange tabber(les SDer) som du gjorde, tror jeg du kunne tatt Dave da.
Det er vel egentlig det største problemet du har i turneringer.
Når du får fiksa på det, kan nok til og med gjøre det enda bedre, selv om å plassere 9.plass
på en Europeisk turneringer er utrolig bra! Er også alltid moro å rise med deg, og du har
som regel en heftig kommentar på lur. Hatten er også noe som egentlig fortjener en shoutout
for seg selv.
Kriz: Heftig spilt i teams, men hadde Fox/Puff-teamet vårt vært i form, kunne vi
kanskje gjort det enda bedre! Synes vi burde ha tatt Yuna og Charles da. Vi var så nære!
Uansett var det gøy å spille med deg. Selv om du ikke var i Puff-humør, gjorde Sheiken
din en sykt god jobb! For Singles, så er ikke det noe å tenke på. Vi vet alle du kan bedre.
Alle har en dårlig turnering en eller annen gang, og du hadde åpenbart din nå. Men jeg må
innrømme at nivået på Europa har steget sykt mye med tiden. Mange spillere jeg ikke hadde hørt
om en gang som var sykt gode!
The Swedoz!
AJP Anton: Nice med recording-utstyr, selv om PC-en til UCK kanskje var litt treig. Jeg
så i alle fall filmene i ettertid, og de var jo fortsatt veldig smoothe og hadde fortsatt
bedre kvalitet enn noen amerikansk video jeg har sett. Jeg vil gjerne vite hva slags TV-kort du
brukte. Kanskje jeg kjøper meg et slikt et en gang.
Ellers var det kult å spille friendlies med deg, og du er pro med misfire :O
Ser deg på neste turnering!
Armada:
I write this in English, for other people to read as well:
If someone told me that a Peach player would become an European champion two years ago,
I'd say that they were crazy. But you have elvolved Peach's metagame to a whole new level! There
is indeed a reason why they now call you "The Beast From Sweden". You are comboing with Peach as
if she was a Falco, and has reached a skill level that makes you a really hard opponent.
You're simply just a smash prodigy. You're the best Brawl, Melee, and most likely the best SSB64
player in Europe. In addition to this you are a great guy and have just as good sportsmanship.
I hope you'll keep your title as Europe's best player for a long time, and good luck in the USA.
If you get a hard time with Peach, you got an überbuffed Fox in NTSC you can use
He's an amazing backup character, and you can already play him really well in PAL. Too good his
u-smash kills approx. 15% earlier in NTSC.
Aniolas: Gratz med broren som kan smash. Dere vant ikke denne gangen, men deres fikk
deres revansj på ESA3, i alle fall. Dere spiller et veldig bra team, og jeg tror dere vil gjøre
det veldig bra i USA også, bare pass på å ikke bruke u-air som saving move i NTSC, for den kan
nesten sammenlignes med Fox sin u-air i PAL
Var kult å se deg igjen, og vi sees vel snart igjen.
C: TV-fiksarN^. Fikk du fiksa "laggen" på den TV-en forresten?
Enten er du gal, eller så har du umenneskelig oppfatningsevne på frames. Du er den eneste jeg
vet om som synes box-TVer lagger. Uansett, det var kult å se deg igjen. Alltid gøy å ha med
C-en på turneringer, selv om det ofte tar litt tid å spille matcher med deg, fordi du er
veldig lagg-sensitiv
Vi ses vel igjen snart! Håper du har fått fiksa mange lagg-TVs til da.
Håper Efen's lille tutorial viste deg hvorfor klokka ikke kan være kvart
i seks
Dev: Pro å reise med deg! Heftig is(glass) i Tyskland også! Hørte du og Amanda vant en
match mot Remen og Cash. Det er meget bra! Som vanlig var det nice å prate og henge med deg.
Ser deg vel sikkert i Norge igjen, om ikke så lenge
Inntil da: snakkes!
Marcus_90: Samusen din har blitt bedre og bedre med tiden. Var kult å spille og snakke
med deg. GJ i bracketen også! Regner med å få se deg på flere turneringer. Og som flere nevnte,
så så du helt annerledes ut uten caps. Kjente deg ikke helt igjen med det første
Q: Se Random-ness.
Random-ness: Du og Q likner noe jævelig. Jeg tok feil av dere en gang. Er dere i slekt?
Husker ikke om jeg spilte mot både deg og Q, men om jeg gjorde det, så var det nice matcher
i alle fall!
Smasher89: Nice å reise med deg. Du får lære meg Advance Wars, så kanskje jeg joiner
neste gang
Lenge siden vi ikke var i samme pool, men det skjedde faktisk denne gangen. Jeg
fikk en annen god ICs-spiller i poolen min da, og da hjalp det meg ganske mye at jeg har litt
erfaring fra matchene våre
Vi spilte ikke så mye denne gangen, men vi kjører på mer senere.
Yuna: Nice MM! Du var faktisk den eneste som vant MM din av de jeg spilte mot.
Forhåpentlig gav jeg deg god motstand. Matchene var jevne nok :O
Ellers hadde vi gode matcher i teams, men det ble kanskje litt mye flaming av Charles, haha
The Rest Of The Guys!
Aldwyn: Cool friendlies and stuff. I never expected to win against you, but the matches
wasn't even close. Hopefully I'll give you better challenge next time!
Nice to talk to you and stuff as well. Hopefully I'll see you soon.
Cash Mooney: First of all I want you to give you my condolences for your sister. I have
no idea what happened, but I'm not going to ask either, it must be a tragic story...
I wish you and your family the best. Those two matches we played were cool, just too bad we
didn't play more.
Chrisboi: Falco might be a gay character, but at least he doesn't wear a tiara
I think we had some good matches in the bracket though.
Dax: Nice matches in the pools, and we also had some funny friendlies! Hope to see you
soon.
Peyudosmith: Really cool teams matches. Btw, did you know that Rainbow Ride is my
favourite stage?
The rest: Whine to me if I forgot you, and you'll get a shoutie
. Next time I wanna play some more, you were so good, see ya.
