HERB was fun. After getting UTTERLY DESTROYED by m2k in fox dittoes, game after game, I realized that the only way to significantly improve is to constantly play people significantly better than you. Playing people on your level will only take you so far...

best way to improve is to play people slightly better than you. its how you find out your mistakes the easiest without getting completely destroyed so you also get to find out what kind of works

We got ****** around somewhat in pools and brackets. Doubles wasn't bad for Shaeman and I. We did decent. Fought scrubs the first round then Chu and M2K the next. -_-

Pools was horrible for STARS at least. Crystal had a pool with Chu. Shaeman had JMan and Eggm in his. I had a pool with KP, Swiftbass, DR.PP, and Cyrain... A few other good guys from where they was from. I'm guessing GA. I heard Doug shared a pool with M2K.

Everyone there that was SoVA was:

Rhan
Crystalnite
KP
JWolf
Malco
Shaeman
Speed
PCat
Doug
Toasty (If he wants to still rep us)
JayRay


Yeah man.

Naw it's all good. I was gonna see if y'all wanted to chill in our room if y'all didn't already have reserved one. Just to help y'all out a bit.

To add a thought, In my experience I found playing people not on my level (far below/non competitive) makes me pick up bad habits. Nothing thats too hard to fix though.

We easily could have had 7th in teams. I did not adapt to Ganon soon enough even though I knew how...running right into fairs and **** a couple times. -.-

Singles my pool wasn't too bad besides Chu...there was a good Falcon player too that I barely managed to beat. I made it to bracket and then was swiftly eliminated by Lambchops and Alukard. =o

SpeedYoshi said:

Fox/Falco team counterpicked our Marth/Peach to FD...I was pleased.

EDIT: **** forgot about Dogysamich in my pool, too...2 stocked my Marth twice.

lol @ Rhan thinking you got "******" in pools. Most people did. Why? Because there were soooo many AMAZING players there.

Top 3 in mine were Scar, G-reg, and LOLmaster [Wendiesel on Youtube and the infamous BrawlLover on the boards].

And now I present: The toasty-toast John for what happened yesterday.

Long story short: in the last 3 weeks I've worked 80 hours and driven 600 miles EACH WEEK. If you include yesterday's trip straight from work [and the stresses that come with having a business and employees] to the tournament (still wearing my uniform right now, btw), I drove 950 Miles this past week.

I'm glad I went and entered because I love the game/scene and it was so amazing to see everyone and play Melee forever, but OHHHHHMY****INGGOD was it ever a poor choice to play in a tournament under those conditions XD!!! Felt like I was about to collapse; I got 2-0ed by everyone I played [didn't even play a couple toward the end because I was feeling like passing out].

But whatever, no Johns I guess...though it felt like I "climbed a mountain the day before" XD


Also: I got G-reg with an uncharged PK-Toasty IN tournament and ON VIDEO ^_^!!!

AlsoAlso: I went all Ness.


BTW: ommmmfg was I heartbroken to hear what happened to Dobee/Kadaj/Famous ;__;


fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-...my phone was on silent ever since pools started on saturday. I may have missed your calls, Famous/Kadaj/Dobee :(!!!!

Toasty: Lol yeah. There was a **** load of great players. I had a pool filled with Marth and Falco. My 2 most hated characters.... It's was all fun though. Gotta love the scene for real. I was passed out at the venue for at least an hour. xD

Shaden: Get our MM against Dr. Neo/LoZR up. ANd our Team Friendlies against G-reg and Scar. I'm going to try to get doubles grandfinals up by next weekend. The 2cd match of that is going to start some controversy though... TV eff ups.

Nah they used the one under the desk. It was a good thing though. Everyone was cramped in the corner for doubles lol.

There was more space and more things to climb on.

I thought I would too but the way I was feeling, I was like "alright let me go with something I don't have to think about" so I went Ness since he comes so naturally to me now...but the heavy thought/adaptation/mindgames required to play Ness at that level were struggling to come out under said conditions...*sigh*

Also, I was going up against Scar and G-reg first two matches...they eat and sleep spacies matchups :(

Lmfao. Me and rhan tore them up in doubles =)
Matches will go up soon. but yea we didnt do too shabby. i think they won 2 and we won 2 or 3 matches. either way they were like "you guys are really good". so i feel pretty accomplished. even though i couldnt take anyone in falco dittoes. i need tech skill. i feel like trash now.

Wish I knew...We didn't expect to break down though....

It's fine though, it's over and there is always another tourney right around the corner...Just hope it's before school starts...Hope someone throws a big one right before school starts

j/k...I love brawl, but only because I camp/spam Metaknight

and by love, I mean don't love

and by don't love, I mean hate

and by hate, I mean MELEE FOR LYFE SON
