Rule #1 of posting in any upstate NY thread: Never take anything Foy says seriously. Ever. ;D
Alright so wall-of-text time.
This was the most fun I've ever had at a tournament. I'm really happy that PA came out and gave us some incredibly exciting matches to watch and between angel and dotcom got the entire crowd super hyped for all of the brawl finals. I hope you guys (and I mean NY and PA here) aren't taking any trash talk too seriously in this thread though, keep it fun! I agree with Cura that a crew battle would be great but putting huge stakes on it is silly. I'd also like to point out that Dotcom said he could pretty much walk to the house of every good player in PA, in order for any of us to get to the house of another good player in our state it typically involves a 1-3 hour drive. This is the reason our region lacks the depth of yours, it's simply more expensive for us to get together and play.
Anyways, about the brawl singles bracket, some people may have noticed it was slightly, well, ****ed up. That was totally my fault, when I went to add another player to the bracket after Cura finished creating it, I did it the wrong way and the program deleted the old bracket as soon as I added him with no way to recover it. So I had to remake the whole bracket while Cura was playing dubs grand finals and it led to a lot of confusion for people who had already started playing their matches. So again if you had any complaints about your bracket, it was my fault and I do apologize, the bracket Cura made up was pretty **** good but with 35 entrants there was just no way for me to recreate it =\
On to shoutouts!
1. PikaPika! - Most clutch win ever. How more people aren't talking about it I really don't understand. Your patience is amazing, even with 10 seconds left and down in % you waited for an opening and took advantage. Really impressive ;D
1. San - The fact that you're even better now than you were when I first met you is incredible. Keep up the hard work and keep going to big tournaments, I know we're gonna see you taking top 5 spots at MLG in the future.
3. KingToon - I don't care what rank you are on a PR, your TL is beast and I have a feeling next time you play pikapika and san they're going to need to step up their game to win again.
4. TUSM - Amazing performance man, you've gotten a lot better since I last saw you play. I should actually play some friendlies with you next time
5. K-9 - Stop whining about your bracket! XD
5. EBO - Great job in dubs, gotta watch out for that shield break though XD
7. Cura - way to get tired after dubs finals, you definitely could've placed higher. Thanks for letting me help out TO'ing, I had a lot of fun!
7. JamesG - Your lucario is so hard to fight, even when I know what's coming I still can't get around it. Don't feel locked in to one character though, there's nothing wrong with secondaries to cover your bad MU's!
9. Dotcom - Thanks for bringing the trash talk that PA is so famous for! Hope you guys come out again, those were the most hype matches we've ever had
9. Kid Goggles - I feel like you need to stick to 1-2 characters and really master them. You've gotten so good and you can definitely place better
9. Azeal - Really impressive! You hardly get to come to tourneys but you still placed top 10, I can tell you've been working hard. I hope you can keep making it out to events!
9. Vibe - Psh, stop running in to fsmashes. Also marth is gay.
13. L-Don - bcb said you've gotten a lot better and he was right. Our dubs set was so much fun, I hope to play you guys again next time!
13. Sharky - Stop playing a bad character. Even I can come close to beating your yoshi, that should tell you something!
13. KayLo! - Good seeing you again! Hope you guys can make it out to more of our tourneys, and let us know when big tourneys are happening in your area too!
13. VFXM - Your mario is mad good, keep coming to tourneys and I think Boss may have some competition ;D
17. 1337-0 - You're such a good dubs partner, I'm sorry I let you down in our last game. I should have gotten some warmup games in right before dubs started =\
17. Mako - Honestly didn't get to see you play =( Good placing though and hopefully I'll see you at a smashfest sometime
17. Woomph - Thanks for being so patient, it seemed like you had to wait around a LOT for your matches. It helped a lot that you kept checking in with me so you could play your matches ASAP though, people like you are what keep tourneys running smoothly.
17. bcb - Fun dubs set! I was really worried you guys had us. Kick school's *** next year so you can come out to more tourneys!
17. Tommy Greenshirt - Thanks for coming out! You're pretty close to syracuse you and your friends should come to cura's smashfests sometimes!
17. KG - Was this your first tournament? Good job!
17. DEZ - Like I said to Tommy, come to fests! More experience and all of you binghamton guys will be destroying kids for sure.
17. Crump - What I said to the other guys >_> lol I didn't get a chance to talk to you really, but it's great to see new faces at tourneys and I hope you had a good time!
25. Acton - Sorry about the bracket, I know yours ended up messed up pretty bad. Don't sweat all the PR stuff so much though, have fun and play hard and people will recognize that!
25. Scotty - The bracket buster! ;D lol glad you entered and sorry you guys didn't get to play in dubs, it's good to see you coming to stuff again!
25. Spud - Sorry you ended up playing your friend! =(
25. Maxys - Hope you had a good time and yeah all the stuff I said to the other binghamton guys applies to you too!
25. Ben10 - You got the honor of playing san first round ;D Keep playing and I'm sure you'll improve fast!
25. CMP - I...honestly cannot remember who you were =( I think you were with the binghamton guys and if so, come to fests too!
25. Frostbite - Good seeing you again, I think I've only ever played against you in dubs, we should fix that sometime
25. Beta - Psh marth players....lol you're getting good at brawl really fast, our dubs set was crazy fun, next time will be different though! ;D
33. O.M.R. - Sorry about your bracket, you should never have to play leet unless you both make it super far in the bracket, I'll be sure to watch out for that next time. I'm not sure I've ever said this before but you're definitely the coolest dad ever, thanks so much for helping our community grow and get stronger!
33. Nightro - Hmm...marth? probably needs more random fsmashes and you'll get top 10 np
Everyone I missed (melee peoples!) - no offense but I'm just tired of typing and there's still a lot of people left lol. I hope that everyone had fun, weekends like this one are why I love smash and even though I'm planning on "retiring" from competitive play after this event, I still want to keep playing with you all and drive crazy numbers of hours just to hang out and play video games!
