Shoutouts? OK!!!1
Firstly I'd like to apologise,
I was for the most part a grump, over the trip i could be seen looking grumpy/sad/tired so i apologise for doing that more than the usual, i don't think i can blame the lack of sleep primarily for the way i acted, for a while i forgot why i played smash competitively, and how i have gone about playing smash up until now.
Things have changed for me, I've gone from being the only person in Sydney to being the supposed leader of Sydney's smash community, which is now bigger than ever. i have gone from not expecting anything in tourny results to being favourite to win them in Sydney, from being a participant in tournaments to actually organising them and having to know how they work. The change has been a strange one.
I have always enjoyed travelling for smash, being in a group of people that travel to play the game, I've made many good friends as a result. This is why i offered to host so many people, because i had met them already and knew that the experiences would be awesome ( most of them anyway), because it's been that way everywhere else. I guess i forgot that was the reason i had so many people over in the first place.
I had come to believe that i was better than i was, because i was winning tournaments for a change, but the interstate guests rightfully put me back in my place and it was a wakeup call for me that i didn't handle so well. No one likes to lose if they expect to win, and I've made it as far as i have with the mentality of not expecting anything, when that changed i spose that made me more... "grumpy" >.<
things didn't go to plan sometimes, and a level mind would have handled it better than my own grumpy one.
all that sh*t aside it was such an awesome trip and I'm very glad that qld and Melb could make it, and as such the experience deserves some shoutouts...
Who am i to deny that?
My mum thinks we did a pretty good job hosting 8 people for a week so i should be less hard on myself, shut up about this self pity cr*p and get on with the shoutouts
Melbourne
Mark: You pulled some serious strings to get to Sydney and i am so glad you did, our matches were awesome and i can always count on you for a laugh. I probably had some of the deepest conversations with you as well, i spose its good to have someone you can share thoughts with, especially a good thinker like yourself. Smash-wise, somehow we've grown pretty even, so its natural that i enjoyed our matches the most. thanks for coming down Thom, it wouldn't have been the same.
Freddo: I've never really talked to you much up until this trip and its probably something I'll regret for a long time. you have an awesome Fox, and i don't think i'll ever surpass it, its a good credit to your name to be able to consistently be relied on for your smash talents, thanks for deciding to stay at mine, your welcome any time you want to venture back to Sydney, smash or not. I'll pass on your thanks to mum
Dave: such an organised well travelled person, there was no way i was gonna keep up with you night life wise
what did you expect? that i was some kind of clubbing extraordinair? i seemed to do well against you until tournament day, and your peach finally kicked into gear,
I finally saw why you were making it into the finals so much and so consecutively, you have a lot of pride in the state you represent, and that's a good thing to have, i know you won't be organising anything any more, but I'm sure you'll happily look on. Thanks for helping mark to get up here, i deeply appreciate it.
Keep smashing dave, wherever you are
and use boozer more!
Sam: Never... ever do that to me again, that was the most intense match ever, Kas may think i handled pressure well, but f*ck man if i handled it ok, you soaked it up! falcon should beat Ness easily especially on FD. but that was just a crazy match, the most intense I've ever had. I guess you can't ever beat pressure... don't know how ken does it...
Hope you found a healthy stash of melon bread to keep ya goin, the smash scene wouldn't be the same without sammeh, you stick strong to the character you like, and you don't care about the result, you keep on trucking, and that is a quality i can aim for, well done!
Ben: I talked to you very little, and you probably won't read this but it would be rude to leave you out, i hope you enjoyed your trip to sydney, and hope that the investment was well worth it ^_^ just try not to kill sam before the end huh? and if you do at least tape it
Oni: I would be lying if i said i saved the best for last
Oni, as annoying as you can be you can poke fun at yourself as well, and take some harsh criticism without problem. Not only that but your young, way to young to be travelling to another state for a video game yet you have and that is just awesome.
You enjoy smash, which an only be a good thing if you're being pummelled now, imagine when you get better? how much you'll want to play then? everyone was quick to help you improve but i think you're right on track oni, don't expect to much from yourself. And sorry about the cab ride, i spose you can get me back if i have to find your place one day
Queenslanders! Regroup!
Toia, Josh: I am so sad you guys didn't come down, seriously you guys join qld in making smeeash awesome, i respect the reasons for your absence, i'm just typing this to say you were missed
Hope to see you guys in Qld soon!
Kas:
oh the rumours i had heard, The kiwi, the weirdo, the random god of smash... so on so forth. You fit right in with the Qld fellas, when you take the game serious your a very good contender, plus your hilarious, that's a qldr in a nut shell
Azen is a Kas wannabe
he cheats to much
next time i'll have a cage ready i promise
try not to kill Zac, as much as you would like to lol, i'm glad you made it Kas, and if your crazy enough to want to learn falcon from me, I'll try my best, i promise it won't be zac coaching.
Krispy kreme FTW!
Zac: LMFAO, omiig your are f*cking ********, seriously before i make kas a cage i'll make you something to turn you sane O.o i don't think thats even possible. Well now that i think about it, its best you stay Dark wing Dracula Tang lol. who would want to change that?
I'm pretty sure you filmed kas more than me, people have been whispering, saying your obsessed with me, which is understandable, Sloth is also in denial.
DDR freak, Smeeash freak, you alter the way i freaking speak i swear, your still crazy good and know too much. Aim for the top zaccy boy, you know enough to get there, and you can definitely be cheap enough
why?
Cause Yooooouuuu're te beeasht in Queeeeeiiiiinshlaingd MIIGOUURR
Ben: Scrubby! you now, officially, own me in smash. brutal falco lol seriously very brutal, yet you main your peach, so i guess that's either loyalty or somethin else, the flower idea was awesome, and as a result you guys can stay whenever now
awesome!
Directing you through the city was pretty phail:
Ben: okay, so we turn left here...
Jaz: (low mumble): don't do that....
Ben: okay in the left lane...
Jaz: It's no left turn
Ben: ...WTF JAZ!
Jaz: i probably should have said that louder....
Ben: this place is fwaauucked!

Mikul: i'm sorry you couldn't make it maing you better know how bus' work before next time o.o
Sydney guys:
Kulla: thanks for helping out with the hosting, you are getting really good really fast, it scares me o.o
Your sheik is nearly unstoppable and your luigi has become uber pro, you captained Sydney B which probably would have beat Sydney A, you made the effort to come and see the guys all the time, your definitely doing the Sydney scene proud, thanks for helping out when you could ^_^
Pat: I versed you once and that was a tourny match... wtf LOL It just means you were so busy getting to know everyone else, you had no time, but we always vs so its fine, don't fret. You did extremely well against Melbourne in the crew battle! which isn't easy... well done buddy hope to vs you soon thatnks for carting Kit and Johnno around, i'm sure it was an awesome experience for them too, thank them for the effort for me, i don't think they come here much.
Chicken Salad: You knocked Cao out in crews... you knocked me out in the first tourney, you, my friend, are a force to be reckoned with. That jiggs is getting better and as soon as you nail the rest combos, you'll be the one everyone goes... oh no! Not him!!!
Bjay: We won teams!!!! holy crap, i could say all these nice things but really... i mean wow, we won.
thats all there needs to be said really, what an awesome peach you have!
Stu: you made a massive effort, you nearly hosted, and probably would have if i wasn't so greedy and kept everyone to myself
, your always around stui, it would be awesome if you could keep doing that ^_^
Mic: another falcon? oh noez! mic your moving up... i see you there don't think you've been overlooked. I'm sorry for leaving you out in crews, it was just an odd number thing, no bearing on skill whatsoever, you've improved heaps since melb, hopefully you can take more improvement from the qldrs too. soon that falcon will be pwning me, its written somewhere...
Xeno: I was a grump and an *** on the Sunday, things were backing up and sh*t, and you pull through and organise pizza, what a champ! plus your on the improve as well, these tournies are only gonna get more interesting, hope to see you after some tafe lessons, i finish earlier now
Keeno, Sanc: You guys are an awesome team, and i can't imagine a tourny without yaz, your always around, an impressive Ylink and Falco as always. I barely saw you guys apart so i suppose that's why you have a joint shoutout lol, keep on coming to tournies and meets guys, not for your sakes... but everyone else's. your helping us get better
Funky: Dude what happened? i turn around every time i see you owning someone but all these tales of people getting at you reach my ears... blasphemy i say, that fox is becoming a threat, soon it'll define the word
Brinton: so... you organised a Lan and tournie on one day, and then did a swiss WITHOUT a laptop... jeeze brint, don't show us up or anything
Though next time, if you have something on you'll need to tell me, i don't want to interrupt a busy schedule, and it just ='s more stress, thansk for the support.
thats all from me guys, it's Qld's turn next and we hope to have the next big thing at the animania festival known as smash
so next up is Smash @ Smash
can't wait
