The Big House 2 Results [October 6-7, 2012 - Ann Arbor, MI]

[JamesBJames]

For our group:
Corkus - Thanks for driving the group up to Michigan and back to OSU. Sorry that none of us could give proper directions. At least the GPS was close.
DippinDots - goddamn you have some mad snoring skills; I hope to be at your level in a couple of years. You're a pretty funny guy. Sorry I kept mispronouncing your last name.
Lagoon - Sucks that your round 1 pools didn't go as well as we hoped, but you'll get there. I don't understand Falcon either.
Abu - negative shoutouts for telling everyone my dad is a racist, lol; thanks for being good against peach in like every MU though so I was able to get experience. You're good! (but seriously, I probably owe you a few)

-----

Michigan (Duck, Moose, Kzhu, Shady) since all of you guys are really chill. I had a lot of fun doing friendlies with everyone, and it'd be awesome if some of you could come to Smashtime so we could do more but no pressure obv. take your time

Everyone I played at the hotel (there were like 50 of you in the room so I can't remember you all, but you know who you are) for making the end of Friday interesting. Trail and CunningKitsune, you guys are incredible.

Scar for being hilarious and talking to me after the tournament. PS: After re-watching the videos, that fair was accidental and i'm very sorry about it
Idea for doing like a dozen matches. Your puff is really solid; all that aggression is scary. Good luck with your falco.
Gracen for also playing a lot of matches. I hope our group can keep in contact with you.
Mango and SFAT for destroying me.
Butch G for all the support. Fun Peach dittos, too.

Oh, and everyone else in the top 8 who I didn't mention yet because all those bracket matches were so entertaining. I have a lot of stuff I'll need to re-watch.

I was just hoping to get out of round 1 pools; never would have guessed I'd make it to bracket, so thanks a ton for everyone who cheered for me. This tournament was incredible and some of the most fun I've had in a while, plus Juggleguy is a very very good TO. I hope our Ohio group can make it to more of these big events before we have to get real jobs and ****.

(Baka: My match vs. Duck unfortunately wasn't recorded.)

 

[PGH Carroll]

[JamesBJames]

Really cool and fast peach.

Worst goddamn tag 2012

=(

I dunno, man, I'm pretty bad at tags. My first name's Tyler, so it used to be... well, "Ty." Then Abu started playing with me a year ago and called me "Hanky" a lot (since my last name is Hankins); convinced me to register as "Hanky Panky." Think I've got to keep it now.

but guys look, hanky pankys join date is 2004

I think I joined in 2004 because I liked target test at the time, but then I didn't post anything until mid-2011, lol. Didn't start seriously playing until then. I was looking at my older posts, and I don't even know what they were for.

 

[PGH Carroll]

I'll be at smash time hanky, we'll come up with something.. Lol

YOUR ****ING UP ROB

Lol it's all good. I was way outclassed at this tourney. Whether it had been a pool full of , :ganonmelee:, or I would've still been outplayed. Also onionchowder is better than me, so it's all good

INCOMING MEGAPOST!!
Melee Singles (128 entrants)
1. Mango- Sorry I couldn't stop 'it' haha. Was just way too surreal seeing you in person and you play even more so. Congrats on taking the gold dude you're ****.
2. Hungrybox- Was quite a pleasant surprise to have picked you up from the airport and to have roomed with you on the first night of the tourney. Your knowledge and foresight with puff never ceases to amaze me. Can't wait for those infinite friendlies man.
3. Fly Amanita- Epic comeback vs sfat game 5 man. You had the whole room pumped and I've never seen such composure and execution from a player under so much pressure before. Really glad you decided to travel out to this and I'll ttyl online sometime /).
4. SFAT- You're a well oiled machine if I've ever seen one. I had high hopes of being able to take the set off you in pools, but oh man you're totally on another level in those fox dittos. I'll be taking notes and come back for blood in the future.
5. KirbyKaze- Never did I think saying hello to someone would invoke a money match request. Perhaps mario is fair vs fox, but is your fox fair vs mine? haha. Thanks a bunch for the advice/fox dittos and for sitting down to play me in the first place, and taking your dollar back from me was pretty funny too. I hope I'll get to play your Sheik sometime~
5. Unknown522- You have got some of the sickest di I've ever seen for a fox player. Smashes from icies sent you nowhere and you lived to quite some ungodly %s vs hbox. It was waaay too funny when you took off your trademark jacket in response to hbox taking off his hoodie. Good stuff taking him to game 5; you'll get 'em next time bud!
9. Westballz- Your falcon goes so hard in the paint. Must be all that mango practice huh. Laughed pretty hard when you and scar trapped me in during teams and kept kneeing me to the edge of stage when I tech rolled in+di down&in trying to escape becoming obliterated.
9. Hanky Panky- Out of nowhere and became the 2nd highest placing midwest player at the tourney. Your set vs Scar was a spectacle to watch live, and I wish you luck in Ohio later this month. Though now I wonder what other hidden bosses may be lurking around..
9. Darkatma- Don't think I ever got to play you despite picking you up and rooming with you. I blame hbox for holding the win spot on the tv all night long. haha. If I did though, remind me so that I may cherish the memories for the times to come.
13. Scar- When I saw you posted in my pool I knew I had to unleash some intense reads and focus work in our singles set. I'm glad I didn't upset in performance and denied those style points of yours on fd with that meteor cancel>upb>wall tech>sideb>shine thing heh. Thank you for the positive reinforcement afterwards, going as far as calling me a midwest tafokints <3.
13. Duck- Upsmash vs samus is such a broken trade lol. Was realllly hoping for that second win in teams, but ofc I get fmashed by richard when ledge guarding loooool. ggs on that set too btw : )
13. Moose- I really appreciated you putting me over blitzbolt as 4th seed in the pool predictions thread rather than the 50x other people who had no faith in me making it out of round 1 pools. Hope the extra points will put you on top for the that nifty title. Really curious of your bracket match vs Toph (was it recorded/on stream?)
17. Lovage- I apologize for stirring up negative feelings when hiv and I stepped on the livestream with our pichu kirby duo shenanigans. Hopefully it made it amused the stream in its downtime and I'm sorry for letting pichu win haha.
17. Dope- I've heard of silly little maneuvers you were pulling off in your matches (powershield downsmash, walk past shield twice fsmash, and downthrow>downthrow tech chases) and from one jankster to another I can say I approve haha. Good job actually making it into bracket dude and whooping Silent Swag haha.
17. Kels- Finally got able to play you after seeing you so often at tournies.
17. HIV+- You got to act on hard reads more often man! You got the baked goods, but give people too much time to eat them all before you can have desert. Listen to your heart when it's... oh wait, forgot falcos don't have hearts according to wdon :/ Wellll good job making it to bracket and out placing me by a wide margin. I'll get on your level soon enough though just you wait!
17. Little England- Gave you a pretty okay game one in pools, but after that I feel apart and you feasted on my fox's dismembered limbs, torso, and eyeballs. Solid falco dude~
25. MattDotZeb- Quite salty about our little money matches early in day one since I hadn't really warmed up yet and was pool captaining til just before we played. >,>' You lucked out so hard making bracket vs abu, but all's fair at the end of the day I suppose.
25. ORLY- Those early day friendlies were the best. You're such a funny guy haha.
25. Vudujin- Gorgeous piano playing from you all throughout both days at the venue. Lifted my mood whenever I walked by or happened to listen in on it. Pretty intense pool set we had and I enjoyed every minute of it. Awesome pool set vs sfat on stream. Epic nair>upb was epic; so clean, so good.
25. Toph- Enjoyed getting to play against you in teams. Had such an adrenaline rush dittoing your foxy woxy, trying to outplay your sly and fast movements ahh... so nice~
25. Shady- Sooo close to snatching some victories from under your nose gah~ Was glad to have you on the tips of your toes though hehehe. ggs~
33. Juggleguy- You're a frekkin boss for organizing this event and all the past melee tournies that I've attended in the last couple of years. By hosting all of these events, you've given me a chance to really enjoy something special and extremely rare: traveling out of my comfort zone and meeting new people and friends, collaborating in a competitive and common interest that I've grown to cherish. Thanks so much Rob!! :D
33. Abu- You've really stepped up your game from the last time I played you at Sweet VI dude. I approve of your decisions and almost taking that set off sfat in r1 pools. Such a shame about that phantom rest vs mdz though. That realllly jiggled my puffs when I heard that from hellsing. I'll see you in Ohio in a few weeks dude.
33. Renth- Gaaaaaanondorrrrffff~ Triple uair OoFj is so stylish oh man, clipped mdz.
33. voorhese- Sucks about that pool cut-off bs man. Would have been pretty tight to see you go up against Scar on stream instead of mdz smh.
33. Oro?!- I swear I had been condemned to a falcon **** pool, and you were no exception to that thought. You played solid and double knee'd me off stage and lived. Raw.
41. Strong Bad- So he was finally here, performing for you. If you know the game, you can join in too. Press the buttons together if you want to play. As we take you through his monkey day! HUH..? [Don't ask, I don't know myself]
41. Butch G- You're getting better, but holllld off on that downsmash man haha. All it takes is one too many to get opened up and downright predicable at times. Team double downsmash is trademark Composer and I though, you got to fight us for that right!
41. PGH Carroll- Thank you sooo much for inviting Hellsing and I into your buddies hotel room (loved it). Your commentary on friendlies was down right hellacious at times and made me kick buckets of milk in joy. "bleeeaaaah" & "Yahoooo!!" are my favs. : )
41. Wenbobular- Nastly little falcon you got there bud. I approve of the headphone play, for the trance like feeling you get when playing to music is like nothing else but total involvement in your character and the game, at least for me haha.
41. Scythe- Dat mario ain't got nothing on condemned soullllllllzzzz'!! hahaha
49. Bieber- Cute little puff you got there buddie. I'll be sure to have my fox haunt it's nightmares and crush it's dreams though : )
49. Gibby- Very solid neutral shiek play from the friendlies I played with ya sir. Didn't know Wisconsin even had an active melee scene (who knew?). Ya'll should head out to michigan again sometime, since we play a bunch during the uvm/msu school year.
49. Sweet- Had a fun time hanging with all you Pittsburgh guys at the red roof inn. You guys are all so silly and bible toss is really, really dumb lool. Also damn your double downsmash team with Butch smh.
49. Dre- Can't believe I killed myself in the first couple seconds of game 2 on Dreamland only to bring the game back and lose again lmao. Your marth's spacing is so methodical, which led to an interesting and enjoyable set all around. (Can't wait to get you back at Julian's place the next time we all hang :D)
49. Handsome Joe- aka Mango
57. Tremor- Very fun friendlies we had in the downtime of r1 pools. I feel like we'd both benefit from playing each other often since we're pretty close in some skill areas, but also have key positive trait differences which set us apart I think. Hit me up sometime dude.
57. Bidwell- The big ollll De.. err.. Bidwell! And no, this is not my first tourney </3 LOL
57. Mundungu- Super tight mega ultra close set in doubles man. I put on my serious face in that 2v1, but you guys played pretty dang well to get us in that position ggs : ).
57. Bolt- Not to be confused with blitzbolt lol
57. RyeJew- Learn to clutch a victory for once in your life!!

Magno is the best player, not Mango. Magno 2012

[OTRU...]

are there videos up yet?

 

[Violence]

1. Mango - This mother ****er already knows what it is. I won't say much because it's not like you have an account. Watching you always blows my mind, and this is the first time we've played. I hate how shielding does absolutely nothing against you. I'll see you at KoC, play your Samus on stream sometime, the world must see it.
2. Hungrybox - Your alts are really legit. It was cool hanging out, thanks for getting my dinner.
3. Fly Amanita - I knew from the morning of Saturday after getting 37 stocked before I took 1 with my Fox that you were probably going to get off in bracket. Good ****, I wish you'd travel more. You have a good attitude and mindset, it was fun playing friendlies.
4. SFAT - Zac, you were playing so well, I can tell getting ***** by Mango over and over again has made you much more mentally tough. I'm always amazed how you can keep improving at your level, and I hope you don't stop. You really stepped it up at this tournament, good ****.
5. KirbyKaze - Sorry I didn't get you a flavored edible dildo, I'll nurgle you sometime online. I think if Fly hadn't shown up, you had a very good shot at second.
5. Unknown522 - Yo Ryan, I know I cheered against you for much of the day, including against Duck and SFAT, but your set against HBox was impressive as ****. You played really well and I hope to see nothing less from you in the future. Good ****.
7. Frootloop - I still think I could've at least taken a game in round 1 pools. I'm annoyed at how bad my tech skill was, but your Falco makes good decisions. Congrats on the Apex stipend, I'll get my revenge someday! Gibby will reveal all your secrets to me!
7. Chillindude829 - Dat Packers Jersey
9. Trail - You're a cool guy in person. I'm happy I got to play you again. I'll improve at the Ganon matchup.
9. Westballz - WESTON BALLZDEEP DENNIS I know you're probably not happy with your placing, but we both know there's nothing but improvement in your future. Your falco is the freshest piece of *** I've ever had the chance to play, I know it's destined for great things. I'll see you at KoC, get ready to get cheered for vs PP like none other.
9. Hanky Panky - WHO THE **** ARE YOU EVEN REAL IS THIS ACTUAL LIFE?
9. Darkatma - Your Marth is so sick, dair to dair so good. Good **** reppin AZ, I'll catch you at KoC. jk, I wish I'd gotten to see you play more this weekend, I've always heard good things, but I haven't seen very much of you outside of that one Campbell tournament. Let's play when I'm back home in December, or at KoC.
13. Scar - Good ****, Bobby, I saw a bunch of your games, and even if you were a little rusty, I couldn't really notice. You played pretty well and ****ed up a lot of people. Definitely looking forward to seeing you at KoC.
13. Duck - Dude, thanks so much for housing us. If you ever need hospitality on the West Coast, we'll definitely return the favor. Also, bombs ****. I'm glad I taught you how to flush your toilet.
13. Moose - Thanks for the ride from the airport, I really appreciate it. I didn't really get to see your Falco, but I've heard good things about it. I'll see you next Big Hous.
17. Nintendude - GGs, but I'll get you next time.
17. Lovage - I will never forget your Samus. Also, I eagerly await the day when you shake off your rust and decide to play again.
25. MattDotZeb - Standing laser for days.
25. SUNG666 - I had a lot of fun in friendlies. Let's play against at KoC.
25. Toph - You already know what it is. Homie status.

81. GunPunch - I look forward to see your innovations and improvements. Find your own Samus, and make her amazing.
113. BLiu - Rough pool. GGs in friendlies. I'll play you again sometime.

Rat - ENTER SINGLES NEXT TIME YOUR SAMUS IS STILL AWESOME

Wobbles - Whether you decide to commentate or play, it's always a huge pleasure to have you. You **** at whatever you decide to do. WOBBLEDY WOBBLEDY ROBBLES WOBBLEDY WOBBLEDY ROBBLES

GimR - You guys run a great stream. Thanks for all your hard work.

Juggleguy - You've outdone yourself again. This event was insanely awesome, and again, worth every cent to come. Your logisitics, organization, staff, everything was on point. You kept scheduling in mind, made sure things ran smoothly, and most of all, made sure everyone was taken care of. Whenever I think of TOs east of the Mississippi, pretty much you're the best of whoever comes to mind.

I will always do everything in my power to attend your large events(get a bigger venue next time, I think this time, you underestimated your own hype), and I'm sure the rest of West Coast feels the same way.

Super legit, Rob, I don't think I can adequately express how awesome this tournament was.

... now if only I could beat your ****ing Falcon.

[S l o X]

17. Slox
Round 1 Pool:

• Unknown: you are hella good. keep it up and i'm sure i'll see you taking top 3 spots at nationals soon.
• Carroll: fun matches bro. hope to see you at rom.
• Trail: fun matches, game 2 was awesome and i got ***** game 3. you are really good and pretty nice, wish i got to play you more for some IC practice.
• Everyone else: ggs keep practicing so you can beat me next time, im bad.

Round 2 Pool:

• Fly Amanita: my luigi will win next time!
• Darkatma: That was way too easy for you. Next time I'll play much better. You are just as good as I thought you would be though. ^ ^ good games.
• Kzhu: ggs in pools. i learned a lot about sheik peach in our first game and you contributed to helping me pick my main after 2 years of playing melee and for that i am very happy. keep playing with mark and i'm sure you will get on HANKYPANKY level in no time.
• Idea: really good games. It could have gone either way I think I just naturally know the matchup from playing with Swiftbass so much despite having 0 puff experience. I know you were thinking Falco but honestly your puff has enough to improve on that you should just stick to it and I'm sure you won't regret it in the long run. Wish we got friendlies in.
• Renth: I'm sorry I decided to main Sheik right before our matches. I feel like a douche. ): Good games anyhow. You looked really impressive vs everyone else. I just tried as hard as possible to not give you room to move around so fluidly.

1. Mango - really glad i played you first round. watch the throne.
2. Hungrybox - im sorry for ever believing you weren't a great guy. you + vudujin + kanye rest = great memories of this tournament. thanks for that.
3. Fly Amanita - gj getting third.
4. SFAT - teach me fox
5. KirbyKaze - teach me sheik
7. Frootloop - good games. they were both really close and i was kind of happy with how i played. good job on your wins at this, really impressive.
9. Westballz - everyone has their bad tournaments.
9. Hanky Panky - SMASHED OUT? are you kidding me?
13. Scar - you dodged my money match sucka
13. Moose - move back to NE, we need you.
17. Slox - so close to where you wanted to place, get a TV pls.
17. Nintendude - you are the nicest guy.
17. Kels - good money match, main fox.
17. SilentSwag - lol go to rom please.
25. Kalamazhu - game 1 wasn't that much of a blow out to switch to fox game 2. your fox isn't bad i just think the matchup is do-able with peach. i hope you go to OOR things because you are really good.
25. MattDotZeb - gj with the upsets. no matter how *** you are i know you will always upset really good players at tournaments like these. hope you are enjoying chicago, good seeing you. gj in teams bro.
25. ORLY - your fox is way too falcon like, haha. just going for the most ridiculous things. thank god i somehow won because that dollar got us through the toll.
25. SUNG666 - ggs honestly i know your first two games weren't you playing well but it happens. just 5$ mm me again at apex or something if you think you are completely out of my league.
25. Vudujin - best piano na.
25. Toph - good meeting you.

 

[Scythe]

41. Scythe - did you get ***** in mario dittos by mango?

he refused to ditto me : /

i took 2 stock off his falcon i guess but it's not the same : (

 

[jbro]

Somehow didn't meet a ton of people, but shoutouts to these people:

Ohio: Sweet, S1, my dude Dees, ZakFox da doc, Kanye mother****in Rest, and the rest of you nerds

Shoutouts to everyone in my pool.
Fly Amenita (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong): nice meeting you, man, was really cool seeing you playing your *** off, especially against SFAT, good ****.
BluEG: Real cool meeting you. Good match in pool, fun friendlies. I wish I'd have known you knew the Ganon matchup so well, I'd have played someone else.
ORLY: didn't really get a chance to talk to you, but good match.
Bolt: Real fun, thanks for being cool about playing stupid matchups since I was already eliminated.
Crooked: fun match, didn't really get to talk to you much either. hope you did well.
shoutouts to 1der for not showing up

Also a shoutout to Rob and the rest of the staff, the tourney was really, really well run (especially for how many attended). Awesome.

Biggest shoutout in the world to Pittsburgh crew for being my 2nd ****ing family
you guys are seriously the best.

EDIT: Also not trying to start ****, but without naming names (you know who you are) if you're seriously going to complain about someone's play during the ****ing Ganon challenge then I think it's time you grow the **** up.

 

[darkatma]

Shoutouts! (If I forgot you I am sorry)

Juggleguy: Thanks for hosting an amazingly well planned out tournament that you somehow squeezed plenty of friendly time into, despite the various "NO FRIENDLIES" admonishments throughout the tournament Really enjoyed myself out there, as well as hanging with all of the amazing smashers there.

Other TO Staff: Thanks for volunteering your time to make this tournament run as smoothly and on time as it did <3

Stl Crew: We all have to get better at this game IMO. There is much to improve on!
Hart: Gotta up that technical speed while maintaining consistency. Long road ahead for the falco main Hope you learned a ton from this tourney though.

Bieber: Dat fox matchup and jiggs ditto haha. Time to go back to the drawing board for those. Most likely you needa work on your DI and spacing for the quick paced matchup.

Blitzbolt: Thanks for volunteering your car for driving us to/from the tourney. The long drive was totally worth it for me though, had a ton of fun at this tourney. Super sad you didn't play at full potential in pools. Please please go learn those funky matchups, like samus, luigi, and ice climbers. <3


U of M:
Moose: great friendlies on Sunday night, you're quite skilled and I think you might've convincingly beaten me in our tourney set if you weren't playing so nervously. Unless I pulled out the Doc hehe Naw but you're really fun to play and hang out with Mark, and I could use some lessons from your for getting fit. I'll try to catch you next tourney for sure!

Duck: We didn't get to play much James, but yeahh I SHOULD go to U of M for med school if all you asian smashers are still there. Everyone's pretty solid and has the potential for fast improvement, which is amazing. I'm sad you didn't place at your full potential in singles, but also glad hanky panky placed so well as a result See you at the next big tourney

Kalamazhu: For some reason I didn't associate your tag with asianness LOL. You were pretty cool too, and also a very good smasher. I'm still down to help with the sheik matchup whenever, just hit me up sometime. Nice meeting you, and I hope you start traveling for tournies.

Other Michigan:
Abu: I told some of my friends that you LOOKED like an abu, and they were like "Oh my gosh, you're right!" Haha I think I dodged giving you 20 bucks, because I think I lost the only match we played in. Nevertheless, you clearly would've won that MM since you have the HANKY practice, so anything I would've tried would've just been inferior. But yeah I have a good grasp of what type of person you are now, you're kinda like me on the boards, smacktalking everyone, except you do it in person too rofl. We'll play more at the next tourney, and sorry about your phantom rest loss.

Shaeden: NOOOOO why did you have to leave =[ I really wanted to meet in bracket for a rematch Now I'm forever going to be 0-1 against you in sets. Really enjoyed playing you as well, and my predictions of our pool were totally correct I hope everything is alright for you.

Shady: I could tell you weren't playing your best against me, but very close matches in our set!

HIV+: Fun friendlies and teams friendlies :D

Hanky Panky
HANKY PANKY: I am the biggest fan of your peach now. I really hope you keep improving at an alarming rate. Seek out mew2king in your state hehe. At first I was very dubious that you legitly got 1st seed in R1 pools, but after seeing you almost 4 stock ORLY match 3 I was certain you're going to be the next top pro

California:

Zacfat: Woooo good stuff placing well! Sad you let fly come back on you so roughly in match 5, but it was also extremely hype. Zfreak told me you played better and better as the tourney went on, so I'm very happy for you.

Scar: YEAHHH I knew you would whoop on your pools :D Thanks for proving me right, and reminding people that upcoming marriage =/= retired and rusty.

Mango: **** as usual, love your fox and I'm really rooting for you vs Armada at Apex

Fly: Back to the drawing board for that puff matchup huh =/ Hbox just found a way to trade a rest for nana's stock every single time. I had never seen a more one sided matchup. I'm gonna win next time we play, even though you destroyed me in pools haha. Most likely see you at Kings of Cali! (oh yeah, you're definitely my favorite climbers, keep at it =)

Westballzzz: Sorry about your controller/underperforming this tourney. People think you're johning, but I know how skilled you are and believe you wouldn't have lost to a lot of the people you did lose to if you were on even an average play day. Most likely see you at kings of cali, and I'm gonna learn the sheik falco MU better so our friendlies aren't so one-sided next time

Violence: we didn't get to play enough! I included you under California because I know that's where you belong, back in Norcal Move back already!

Lovage: Yeee your fox is sooo creative and fun to watch and play against! Wish you'd get back into the game and stop being rusty and inactive, boooo.

Toph: You're CA now, so I don't have to make a separate box for WA. It was great seeing you again homie, but I'm sad you didn't prove my pool prediction wrong. I'm super glad you're gonna move to california next year, that's hella exciting :D

International:

Idea: Wooo you destroyed me! I'm glad you're good at the sheik matchup, I would've been totally interested in playing a TON of sheik vs puff friendlies afterwards, but you seemed like you were getting really sick of your main. Good luck with the falco, and see you next big tourney as well.

KK: you're my sheik hero always and forever <3 Take care of yourself more, you looked pallid. We'll talk more over AIM Sad you didn't get to play Hungrybox, that was the set that I most wanted to see this entire tourney.

Unknown: AHHHH I was so frustrated during our set, I'm really sorry. I was getting really distracted and felt sorry for your controller issues, but I was somehow playing incredibly crappy as a result. No johns though, I got beaten solidly and I know you're an amazing player, despite the controller issues. I'm definintely gonna get you next time though, so watch out for me I was also really rooting for you against the box, I have yet to watch it but I'll check the stream later.

Other People:
DoH: Sorry we didn't get to play, and that you were playing like poop on day 2. I could tell from watching your friendlies you weren't playing up to snuff. We'll play next tourney when you're at your full power :D

Slox: Woww you play a lot of chars in tourney. I do that too sometimes: I go doc, fox, falco, marth, sheik, and peach, but this tourney I told myself I would stick to 1 or 2 chars because that's the way to get the farthest. Great stuff getting into bracket though, and we should play more some other time

Hbox: Darn I wanted to see a closer set between you and Mangooo. You gotta figure out his fox man!

Chillin: I'll get you next time grr. GJ placing top 8, always glad to see oldschool go far.

Chicago/Other Midwest

Kels: STOP SUCKING AT REGIONALS GAHHHHH. I know you're much better than that. I wanna see you place at your full potential.

Cunning Kitsune: You're one of the people I'd be incredibly scared to play in tourney, because you play so smart. Best smash teacher 2009?-2012 imo, since you've helped LE improve so much. Teach me how to teach please, trying to help my Stl buddies, but they tell me I'm terrible at teaching haha.

LE: those SDs =[ I think you could've beaten me as well if you were playing consistently well. Keep improving, you've been getting better and better.

Trail: Woooo you're still incredibly good I'm glad. Nice seeing you at the tourney, glad you decided to enter instead of being a ***** :D Catch you next tourney, can't retire yet son.

Vro: <3, sorry about your P:M bracket seeding =/ Always good to see you Cary

Metroid: Yeahhhh congrats on the huge P:M win! Super happy for you

There's too many people, I know for sure that I forgot so many people =[ Guess I'll fill in later once I remember

these are the longest shoutouts i have ever seen

 

[onionchowder]

Mad props to Rob for running a great tournament. Definitely coming back next year with another UChicago delegation; hopefully somebody from UChi is good enough to make bracket by then. I had a great time playing pools/friendlies/MMs. I'd do shoutouts, but I'm terrible with remembering names. Mother****in' Hanky Panky.

I'm officially changing my smash tag to OnionChild (shoutouts to Sung).

EDIT: Also not trying to start ****, but without naming names (you know who you are) if you're seriously going to complain about someone's play during the ****ing Ganon challenge then I think it's time you grow the **** up.

Looooooool

*standing laser*

 

[Violence]

Are you referring to me making a well understood joke to MDZ?

 

[S1 The God]

Are you referring to me making a well understood joke to MDZ?

lol nah a certain falco main took the ganon challenge WAYYY to seriously

 

[Juggleguy]

But there's actually a good amount of strategy to it, lol.

1. everyone lasers until there's an opening
2. everyone pillars the **** out of Ganon
3. one Falco sends Ganon off with fsmash/dsmash
4. edgeguard with dair
5. repeat x4

shoutouts

The main feeling I come away from this tournament with is pride. Pride that Michigan (Rob) was able to host a national, something never before done in our state's history, and have people thinking its one of the best tournaments ever. Pride that we were able to, as players, show how much we have improved, and how much we love this game. Pride that, as people, Michigan smashers are some of the best people I know.

Rob, you are the sole reason that MI melee has been able to thrive and grow since scotu quit. I would have quit years ago had you not continued to host tourneys and organize smashfests.

James (duck), you have the ****tiest shoutouts. ****er. Good stuff vs unknown, you always have sweet wins at nationals. Also get ****ed up by frootloop.



To all the OOS'ers who came, thank you guys so much for coming, and making this a success.



Mango - gg's in pools. rootin for u vs armada.
Hungrybox - gg's in bracket. I thought I knew the puff matchup, but clearly not at that level =p.
SFAT, Westballs, Scar - It was a pleasure housing you guys. Would love to see you guys back here. WC clearly has talent.
KirbyKaze - once again, we never got to play =(. one day.
Unknown522 - too nice, and one of the best attitudes in smash (minus the matt.zeb incident LOL). Nice job coming back from that loss to make it so far though.
