I had a great time, but I agree with leffen for the most. You Finnish guys had a horrible and biased seeding with the brackets (pools were still okay). When I first saw the Brawl brackets, I thought: "Okay, I can manage to the brackets." Even if I were very tired and not warmed-up (since R.O.B. takes a lot of focus meaning being tired is a pain), I made it through. I had Skinutski and leffen who beat me in pools (even if I know I can beat leffen, I was too tired and the fact that the Falco MU sucks for R.O.B. LoL johns, still love you leffen LoL. It also felt like I could take Skinutski too if I wasn't so freaking tired + the hard King Dedede MU LoL but whatever, please ignore this, it was no one's fault but the boat's, really. I did at least not face a Meta Knight so I'm pleased).
Anyway, when I heard I made it to the brackets, I thought: "Yes! Finally no more bad *** Skinutski!" and guess what? I faced him a second time; my second opponent. >_>
I was so freaking pissed off during that time, but I didn't want anybody to know that because there was such a great atmosphere in the local. And the fact that I met my brother in losers bracket just sucked LoL, so 3 matches = my final place in the tournament (9th with only R.O.B.). If you'd ask me, I could do as twice as good, I really aimed for the top 5 but due to crappy seeding I met the winner of the Brawl tournament, who sent me to loosers, and of course I met my brother which was boring as sh*t. Sh*t happens, I know, but the fact that I got to face Skinutski TWICE and if I managed to win over him, I'd have to face leffen YET AGAIN. I WAS REALLY BAD, MAN PLEASE SEED BETTER LOL, you could balance the bracket because the difference between the "upper" bracket and the "lower" bracket was HUGE, just saying (don't take it too personally). My first Brawl tournament ever and it went really bad for me due to the seeding, just 3 matches for a tournament bracket isn't me.
Then we have Melee but I don't give a sh*t about that crappy, unbalanced game so I don't care. But still listen to the critics there.
Sorry I don't mean bad but take these critics to your hearts and improve your next tournaments, because you really need it. =/
Some summaries about the Finnish guys I met:
-LzR-: Really awesome to finally meet you IRL, it was so awesome even if I didn't talk so much. You have the reasons in this post (I generally talk a bit more but I was just so mad). Keep improving with Jigglypuff because you have the potential to be a top player with her. Screw Meta Knight and pick up R.O.B. more LoL. No but really, I hope we see each other more IRL than just in MSN and the forums. Be motivated and inspired!
Jebu: Man what great times we had, I really enjoyed you and the chats we had. You're really good and keep improving. Sorry if I wasn't so happy all the times but you know the reasons now for sure. Your Swedish rocks, you even talked better than some of the Swedes LoL (if you compare).
Schwa: I really liked to battle you and talk. Even if we didn't do any MMs we still had a good time. Your Diddy Kong ***** hard, hope you don't switch to Meta Knight. You're awesome.
Skinutski: We didn't play so much, but we had a good time regardless. Your King Dedede is insane, and I like your style and personality. Too bad we didn't do any friendlies, but I'll get you next time!
Do I have right if I say that I was the only one who took a game from you?
Susi, Jage, HeRu and the other ones (too lazy to write all of you =P): Didn't talk nor brawl you so much, but I hope we do that some more next time! You guys are awesome, keep on being awesome! See you next time.
I also want to waylay to thank the tournament hosters for doing an awesome tournament, even if it had its flaws. I had a good time outside the tournaments, so don't feel useless and pointless. We eventally meet next time Finland!
With kindest regards // ccst.
