Proof PM was sent/date...BUM163 said:D0N said:Im limited to school computers so ill most likely pm you, but just incase my aim is ttrapp146BUM163 said:D0N said:Sounds good! I don't doubt you'll make your comeback. I'll be in touch.BUM163 said:D0N said:Hello,
You probobly don't know who I am, but one of the newer DK players from Southern VA (currently in Australia for awhile). I have recently started an interview on the brawl DK boards and would be honored if you would give some of the guys and myself some of your time for an interview. It has been working out quite nicely and mods are watching the thread, so the chances of BS happening is slim.
While you haven't been as active lately and are just coming back out, I still think you would be a great person to interview seeing as you have become somewhat of a DK legend of sorts. From the place I was born no less (hoping to come see you someday). I'm sure many others feel the same and would love to ask about your opinions on the game, smash career, and a few personal questions. Not everything has to be answered of course.
All that would have to happen is 1 of 2 things; Either you answer questions as the are asked in this thread HERE or I pm you a list of questions in about a week. You don't even have to really visit the boards unless you want to. The interview won't start until about 1 week from now, but if you are willing to spare us some time, please let me know.
If you would rather not be interviewed, it is completely understood and im not gonna bother you about it.

Proof of sending...D0N said:Alright, here is a list of questions from the brawl DK players for you to answer. You don't have to answer them all, but please try to answer as many as possible. You don't have to go into great detail, though that is always appreciated. Thanks one last time for agreeing to work with me on this . It's always nice to see some of the big names taking time to help other players. Just pm me with a list of answers when you get a chance to answer them.
All questions are brawl related unless it specifically says melee.
1) Why'd you choose DK over the others when you first started your Smash career?
2) Have you mained anyone else besides DK at one point? If so, who?
3) What are you 3 most hated or your 3 toughest match-ups?
4) What are your 3 favorite moves with DK?
5) If you could change one move or change one thing about DK, what would it be and why?
6) How does it feel to be back playing brawl? Also, why do you think you're not playing as well as you were before?
7) Why'd you stop in the first place? Why have you been so inactive?
8) What do you think of the NJ/NY DKs? Rankings?
9) Who do you like better, Melee or Brawl DK?
10) Do you normally read the DK boards?
11) What do you think more DKs need to do?
12) What do you think of the TL matchup? Any advice on it?
13) Some cynics have things to say, like "DK isn't tournament viable". In your view, what is DK's tournament viability?
14) Where is DK's Metagame at? What do you see as untapped potential right now (moves, tech, etc)?
15) How do you deal with MetaKnights? Do you have any suggestions on what to do? Can you say which of DK´s moves beat mk´s?
16) What is DK's greatest strength and weakness?
17) What mistakes do you see (or make) that hurt DK players the most?
18) How do you deal with Dededes?
19) what was it like getting 4th at an MLG and proving that DK was mid tier and not bottom tier material?
20) pound 4?
21) Do you still melee every once in a while or are you all brawl now?
22) Why don't you travel as far or as often as other bigger name players? (applies for both Brawl & Melee)
Note: for this question (22), I remember there was a thread you made about it. I don't mind just making a link to that thread, just give me the word.
23) Do you feel that the reduced level of travel hurts your placing in tournaments and/or growth as a player?
24) Do you believe King Dedede's standing infinite should be banned in the official SBR ruleset? (excluding as much DK bias as possible) What makes you feel that it definitely should or should not be?
25) Do you think DK is underrated in Brawl? (He has fallen in the past two tier lists, but plenty of DK players still place well using him)
26) How did your smash career start?
27) Can you remember your first tourney ever? How did it go?
28) You seem to love training with people and helping them improve. Any inspirational words for the DK's out there?
29) How do you practice?
30) What are some highlights of your smash career?
Toasty you r godly for expanding the scene in SoVa like this. gjOMFG at the end of the night actually I almost **** myself when I realized I told someone it was legal
I squandered all over the place last night. Stress outside of smash has been getting to me a lot in the last week...I even left my laptop charger at the venue last night >_> I got taken to Norfair too and I didn't think about the fact that I left it off the stage list.
********** ****** ********** * ****** *****, ****.
I'll go so far as to reimburse anyone since it was my **** up in saying it was legal [truth be told I was in the middle of a match and someone in the background was like "toasty is $%#$@ legal???" and I quickly just said yes ]
I seriously will reimburse anyone, though.
For people who haven't hosted at a venue that isn't their house or a place of business where they work, you have to understand that even running a tournament, esp when you don't have everything as perfectly planned as you'd like, can be pretty taxing for the host. It's worse when he's in all 4 of the tournaments the whole day....
What I'm trying to say is: if something seems odd and/or you have a complaint, like the host saying a stage is legal when you don't recall it being on the legal list, say something. Everyone can have a mental slip. I'm sorry that I cost people tourney losses, myself included. But I can't do everything alone...
that said..........thanks to everyone who DID help. And wooooowww thank you so much everyone who brought TVs. I was about to lose my mind when I thought we only had 4 setups for 2 simultaneously run tournaments
Next time, I'll do EVERYTHING that I did at Gusto's:
-ensure the presence of setups via lists made way before the tourney
-more detailed registration slips to make bracket making easier/quicker
-have printed rules/stage sheets for EACH setup
I just didn't have the time to do all of that for this tournament.
Look out for August 9th, SoVa. It's going to be BIG.
Brawl/Melee singles only. High entry fee and high venue fee (both are TBDetermined)
Coke is going to give prizes, Monster is giving free drinks, radio promotion too!!!
I will double check on the date, but I'm in talks with Hi Score...
