TUNA SALAD COMBO

Aww ye, 9th place... haha I could've placed better, but no johns I'll beat you next time Josh.

 

[BRLNK88]

damn josh, good ****

 

[JOS.fm]

how's this dude fletch gonna get 1st in teams and 9th in singles? bad seeding?

can you upload the bracket?

 

[baka4moé]

yeah that seems pretty weird wtf. who is fletcher? also how many teams were there?

 

[Pawls to the Wall]

yeah that seems pretty weird wtf. who is fletcher? also how many teams were there?

He got first cuz I was his team partner. Haha, jk, Fletcher wrecks my shiv in 1v1.

 

[Grinin]

Probably just poor seeding. I'd never met him before but he handled me in friendlies. He's pretty gud. haha

 

[Obsoleet]

Woot! 9th. Movin on up in the world. Lol, and I guess that's the new way I'll be spelling my name now.

 

[Diglob]

Results in Houston make so little sense until around first to fifth place, lol. Anyway, quick round of shoutouts:

Jake: That set you had against Tirno was amazing. Great Peach. I can't wait until I can play under pressure like that...

Von: What would we do without our token Asian?

Luciano: I played so unsafe against you. I have NO idea where those dash attacks came from. >__>; Go figure, they stopped the second I was playing friendlies again. I have such a long way to go.

Paul: Ganon dittos this summer.

Tarzan: Even if I become the best player in Galveston, I can see that I will still only be prince of G-town for a while so long as you're around. It takes more than being the best player to be king, no? Riding in the car with you was awesome, by the way. And you need to tell me how to spell your real name... >__>;

Noc: Can't wait until you're in Galveston. We need more Smashers down here. You've got to take revenge on Galveston for this tournament anyway.

Michael: Slowly but surely, friend! Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.

Brawl players who openly agree that Melee is better but still play Brawl:

Everybody else: Pleasure as always.

 

[valgar2900]

to the man paul!!! u was the reason yall won teams u got better now i have to do the same.

noc- good set, when i was fox u let me get away with to many dash attacks.

jake- its always fun playin u next time ill be better perpared.

tirno-i hate losin to falco next time im goin **** yo face off!

oscar- i dont think we played but thx for makin me $5 u did it for the bboy fam :D

von- i im disappointed u let tirno **** u like that, go **** in teams tho.

fletch- im sure ull not goin read this but good **** in teams

to the pretty eyed kid who name idk playin samus is hard work thats y i stopped but keep is up if u have fun playin her.

my boy lucy (tsc) i feel like i let u down next time we team we got it for sho

and kevin- at the rate goin u will be better than me in no time just keep on prcaticing, and im name is spelled cordarrah

oh bake it was 8 teams

 

[JackieRabbit5]

i got kinda lucky in the brackets tbh cuz i faced like the two matchups i practice most with our Kingwood crew heh (Yannis's Samus and Clay's Falcon)

interested in the full teams results..

 

[Noc]

I'm not gonna lie, singles was kinda depressing lol but baka is right that you shouldn't focus on how you placed but who you lost to, why, and how you can do better next time; I obviously need to practice more, esp. against good spacies, and develop more self-confidence...
Anywayy, I had a lot of fun (as usual)!

Galveston players (Kevin, John, Tarzan) - literally whenever I encountered one of you in singles and doubles, I lost that set. WTH you sons of beaches. haha <3 Hope to practice you often once I move to galveston in august (or, if I get accepted to Baylor and move to Houston, hope to play houston players often)!
Josh - good sh** at your first non-free melee tourney!
TSC - doing well with only falcon in tournament is tough...teach me how you do it!
Von - those doubles friendlies were awesome lol, wish I had gotten another opportunity to get ***** by you in tourney :/
Jake - gj placing close to first as usual, enjoyed our friendlies
Edgar - great job workin your way through losers and beating paul on your 2nd try, and thanks for the fox MU tips
Oscar - ggs in doubles tourney, too close
Grinin - I wish I had gotten into competitive melee as young as you...keep workin on fast but controlled tech skill and getting more consistent, I believe you'll go far. Also, as much as I <3 falcon, I might recommend that you work on a secondary like falco.
Yannis - thanks for your useless samus practice! heh kidding it's awesome to have somebody to play in kwood besides josh. Also, I would give you similar advice as above.

Hope to see everyone at NSIC! Btw I have room for one more person in my car, could pick up anyone that's roughly on the way (i.e. north or west side of houston).

interested in the full teams results..

yeah bracket images would be B)

 

[Grinin]

Thanks man. I've come a long way in the past six months, but I've got an even longer way to go. I know Falcon sucks, but I have the most fun playing with him than any other character. I pretty much play every character in friendlies, and my spacies aren't that bad, but I want to stick with Falcon to prove to myself that I can be good despite character limitations.

That doesn't mean, however, that I wont get my secondaries in tournament shape. I may start going fox in teams if I'm not doing well with falcon.

 

[Diglob]

^ That post went wrong at "Falcon sucks". If Falcon sucks, then I don't even know what to think of the characters who are B-tier or lower. It's good and all to admit that your character has weaknesses, but you've gotta think of the strengths too. >.>

 

[Noc]

Falcon does suck relative to the top tier chars (fox, falco, jiggs, sheik, all commonly used in tournament), those are all unfavorable matchups for him. It's not until the 6th tier character peach that I think he has a favorable MU. I'm not whining, just indicating that it is a challenge to place high with falcon only.
Grinin, I like your determination and may the power of the knee serve you well.

 

[Jake13]

if seeds were different fletcher might have got up fifth, but he was knocked out (2-0'd) by von and edgar.

If you really wanna blame someone, blame tirno for getting knocked into losers first round ^^

Totally didn't know we had a results thread lol

Mojo: u suck

Tarzan: my *****. Why you kill yoself?
Glibbyglobby: you need to come play more
Grinin: you always end up showing up but we never end up playing lol
Fletcher: play singles better
Obsoleet: we never played in singles.
Noc: how you gonna let your twin place higher with ganon. I always have the highest hopes for you
Ycm: you gotta practice playing backwards more often.
Mike: *shakes fist, lights blunt*
Hannah: enter singles and get a smashboards account

All my homies at caine's: <3 you already know what it is

Edit: winners finals were falcon dittos. That foo does not suck
