Fun tourney this weekend, guys! It was a blast meeting up with the smashers of old. I just wish I was able to get in more friendlies.
SHOUTOUTS!
Scottson: Awesome job taking home the gold in Melee singles! You've really improved over the past few months, dude! In all honesty, I thought you were going to drop your set against Sveet in Loser's Finals. I thought his pinpoint accuracy, analytical decision-making, and highly aggressive playstyle were going to be enough to do you in, but your clutch PK Cross tech-chase on his last stock was enough to land you the win!
Truth be told, I'm a little salty with our 2nd round pools set. I personally thought Mewtwo's freeze glitch was banned, but alas.... It was SO unfair when you froze me onto you on my last stock and just waited for the timer to run out. >_>
Lance: Nice job in Melee AND PM singles! The capt is back! Going all Falcon in Melee seemed a little iffy to me, but it turned out you clearly knew what you were doin'! I can't believe you got a triple Randall stomp on me AGAIN! I sooo wish that was recorded! Speaking of which, why didn't we record any of the matches? For how much I love having my matches recorded, I really should've taken the initiative :/ I'm kinda bummed that we didn't get to play each other in PM, but that was my fault for not getting out of pools. Personally, I feel I had a death pool, but I'd rather not start any more drama with the seedings. I already went off on the TO's for that, so I'm sure they learned their lesson.
CRRRG: Be sure to let Purdue Smash know that you forfeited your bracket matches in PM due to time restraints (you SAID it was because you had to pick up your senior salad at Arnies, but I know it was just so you could squeeze some FFXI time in). I wouldn't want any of the OoT'ers to think that you're bad at this game because of your uncharacteristically low placing. Surely they'd see your and Jay's high teams placing at SMYM (?) and get confused, and I wouldn't want that. Good teamwork with Skylar. That Peach and Yoshi teamwork certainly took you guys places.
Lil' England: Dropping a set to Timerbomb's Falco, seriously? And if that weren't enough, Voorheese beat you in Falco dittos too. I think you need to take a step back, watch and study Timerbomb's combo videos, and then jump back into the game because obviously what you're doing isn't working. That being said, nice job beating me and Faithkeeper in our three-way tie for 4th seed in PM. Guess I gotta work on my aiming with Diddy's peanut gun :/
Goosefactor: Way to drop the ball in Melee singles. Losing to Scott's Ness was legit, but Voorheese's Fox? Come ON! You totally had that set in the palm of your hands. You were constantly up two stocks after landing some massively techy combos, but then you'd just kill yourself after trying to do fancy crap. Why couldn't you just keep it simple and play conservatively like the Voorheese? Why couldn't you just wait for him to make a mistake and try to capitalize on it? Oh well, may the lesser skilled player of you two win. >_>
Also, why did you decide to team up with black Carl for PM? That kid totally sucked it up, and as his race suggests, he stole all of your stocks during every match, and he STILL died before you. For future reference, whenever you're stuck teaming with him again, you should get him drunk beforehand. I heard he's much more focused and not as obnoxious that way. You find this hard to believe? Please recall the night at the frat when, after a few drinks, he drew on your leg with a pen when you were playing, and when he paused the game mid match to shoot a toy gun up his butt.
Voorheese: Sorry about my earlier rant. You deserved the win. I just get frustrated because I know I'm better than you at the game. I have more tech skill and I know much more about the game than you, so it's just aggravating when I lose to you. Oh well :/ Anyway, those back to back thunder's combos you did on me were sick! I didn't even think it was possible to do a platform (excuse me, PANEL) canceled reverse thunder's combo, but you certainly did! I was kinda surprised your Lucas got fobbed in PM against Bunbun's Kirby though, but what are you gonna do? I think you just have to out-space him with Lucas' Fruit by the Foot.
Fro: It was pretty cool that you and Maus decided to carpool to the tourney! I know you're a little rusty but I'm surprised you struggled as much as you did in Melee singles. It's not like Samus struggles against the top tiers. She's basically golden in any top tier matchup. I'd say it's at least like 85:15 in Samus' favor against spacies and like 90:10 against Jiggs and Sheik, so what was the issue?
Kirkqoobs: Why do you suck at this game? First you let Mars JV 5 stock you, and THEN your Sheik loses to Bunbun's Yoshi on Pokemon Stadium! Why did you turn to Zelda mid match by the way? Anyway, I enjoyed our 2nd round pools set. I'm just a little peeved because I knew I shouldnt've let you counterpick to Pokefloats. And I should've known you were going to counterpick my G&W with G&W. I need to work on my box, turtle, and sausage if I ever want to stand a chance in that matchup. Live and learn, I say.
For anyone I played and forgot, I'm sorry! There were just too many people there this past weekend!
Anyway, I've spent much more time on this than I was anticipating, and my poo ended like 10 minutes ago, so I'm gonna jet.
