lol Oni. Thanks for the comments.
Had a really awesome time in Sydney. That was thanks to a lot of people.
Sydney Dudes:
Jaz: Opening up your home to so many guys is no easy feat but you managed to put up with us for over a week. Many good times were had at your house, some caught on video and most not. Thanks too for organising the tournies and putting up with our complaining about rules and what not. Your mum is great, give her our thanks once again. Your game has improved considerably and it’s not hard to see why. A lot of competition these days from the Sydney gang which you’ve overseen. Oni is right when he says that the skill level in Sydney is growing more in size and quality over Melbourne.
Stuey: Thanks for keeping us company Stuey, visiting us at Jaz’s house every so often and making an appearance at both tournies. Sorry if you were looking forward to us staying at your place but there will be a next time. And next time I would definitely love to stay at yours. I’m gonna sound like a broken record, but your game has improved at least three fold since Comrades 2 which is very impressive. Keep up that enthusiasm for the smash scene.
Kulla: Thanks for housing and for showing us around the place, for eating with us and seeing Transformers! Best luigi in Australia. You just love playing smash which is awesome. Would love to visit your place next time too!
Bjay: WTH. Your peach is nuts, and you have a wide range of characters to back you up when cheap fails…I mean, Peach…sorry. Jk. You’ve come a long way in such a short time. Congrats on first in teams, you were too strong for us. Tell us how the Pokemon tourney goes yeah? That 400 hours better pay off. All the best.
Funky: LoL. I 4 stocked a few people in Sydney. But the award for most 4 stockings goes to you my friend. You have a good game, but it’s very inconsistent. You surprise yourself by beating some good players and then you surprise yourself by losing to some not so good players. Work on your game! Having said that, you were one of the most improved, another player with a wide range of characters. It was good catching up with you again, playing smash with you is so funny. There are always so many ‘funky moments’.
Pat: Thanks to you too for visiting us at Jaz’s and providing us with some good competition warm up for the tourney. Your position in the tourney was not a true reflection of your ability, but when you chuck in some crazy QLDers you never know what’s gonna happen eh? Crew battle was close and very funny, good job. Looking forward to seeing you next time, wherever that may be.
Caesar Salad: **** kid. You were the surprise of the tournament. I can’t tell you how many people came back to the laptop saying ‘I lost to Chicken Salad, he’s good’. I think you three stocked me in the second tourney…farout. Keep it up.
To the rest of you Sydney guys I played and chatted to, it was a pleasure. See you all again soon. Now onto QLD!
QLD Dudes:
GTR aKa Juggy aKa Andrew: You are hilarious, seriously. Made me laugh so much. This is why I stayed at Jaz’s house and ditched Dedu. Was great catching up with you again since we hardly talked at all in Comrades 1. Your game is impressive, I love watching you own. Looking very forward to next time. Must team!
Scrubs: Thanks for doing all the driving. The car was great, but, sore arse anyone? Lol. You were off on tournament day, I could tell since I saw you own in friendlies at Jaz’s. Thanks for making it up here and happy bday by the way.
Sirias: Dang. I hope you’re glad you made it up. You did really well. Very fun to play, such a wide range of characters.
Random person: ‘Sirias, who do you play?’
Sirias: ‘I play everyone.’
Can’t believe you fox dittoed me b*tch. Almost had me too. Very close and intense. Not looking forward to playing you next time. Peace.
Syke: Thanks for all the Marth practise, even if you are a crap teacher. E.g. ‘Too close! Too far! Don’t do that! What the hell! I told you not to do that! Too far!’ Sorry! Jeez. But seriously, I hope to have a Marth that’s like yours one day. Best marth in Aus. You were the only one to take Cao out in pools, good job.
That’s al the QLD boys. You guys better house me when I eventually come to visit you! Now onto Melbourne!
Melbourne Dudes:
Cao: Thanks for looking after us all and taking us out to see Sydney. Travelling with you is so much fun, can’t wait for next time. Give my thanks to Ben too for all his money lending and driving (even if it did make me sick – Asians can’t drive). Congratulations on winning both tournies, you are sexy. You constantly prove yourself to be the best player in Aus, you deserve every 1st place you get. I also have to give special thanks for cheering me on in finals. You have no idea what a difference it makes to hear your voice in the background. It boosted my confidence and concentration when I felt that most people were cheering for Sirias/Syke. It literally was the deciding factor in whether I won or not. You knew that if I won you would verse me in finals but you didn’t care, go Melbourne!
Mark: Out of all of us it was the hardest for you to get to Sydney and I appreciate your efforts in coming. We came second in teams, thanks for being my partner, even if you did kill me at some critical points in the game lol. Had some great chats with you, looking forward to continuing them. The bus ride back was so much better with you there. All the best, see you at stage 5.
Mark: ‘I’m taking a break from Smash.’
Person: ‘Really?’
Mark: ‘Yeah. Sydney was good, but I’m not playing for the rest of the year until I figure some stuff out.’
Person: ‘You know Stage 5 is next week?’
Mark: ‘Oh yeah, I’ll be there for that…I wonder if Mikul wants to play smash this Saturday?’
Sigh Mark…
Oni: You were good to have around Oni. You learnt heaps. Picked up a new character. Within one week I noticed your improvements. We’ll catch up and play some smash some weekends. Work on your game and stuff.
I believe that’s everyone. Thanks again. Add me on msn if you want!
