Tourney was awesome!! Can't be perfect. My only issue was the brackets. Me and Fow got bracket ***** hard in doubles. Didn't make sense. Doesn't matter that their was that many players. It is obvious it was done wrong based on "apex seeding" points.

We had to face Gnes and Razor mad early and if we won anti and m2k next. And that wouldn't even had been for semi finals. After we lost to Gnes and Razor we had to play Ally and Dojo.
It's not fun to get screwed over at such a big tourney. Someone needs to do better research. Cuz certain areas in the bracket were definitely more stacked than others. We are paying for a fair tourney based on the seeding points. I know other players like Razer and logic saw it was done poorly as well.

At apex 2013 there needs to be a way for less human error. This event is official. I say we emulate some of MLG style. Let's have a National circuit for example!! That's good money for yall TO's as well if it can be organized well. 4 nationals a year and then a Grand national would be amazing.

On that note how did he get top seeding points in everything when he hasn't even played in a long time. That is what I'm talking about. He didn't have any apex points yet had an easier bracket. That doesn't make sense.

Chu did MAD work. Nick Riddle got shut up real fast.
And Salem :troll:


Alex Strife, stop being stupid, we're all waiting for the next one. Just change what wasn't necessarily perfect. No one runs perfect tournaments, don't give up, I'm waiting for the next one already, it's the only smash tournament that will bring MOST of us together. (And many upsets!) JAPAN!

Honestly I believe that yes Alex' schedule may have been a bit tight, but honestly any failures that may have occured or believe to have occured are on the community itself. Yeah he did have his Staff, but being realistc, I was there, everytime he asked for people to get off the setups for pools/bracket, people ignored him. When pools were going on, people kept disappearing for friendlies and money matches. Players also had multiple games running at the same time so they have that confliction. Players straight up ignoring pools, or taking forever to do them. prime ex; Day 2, Brawl pools started a bit late, yes, around 5ish. Now 1 oclock hit, 6 ****ing hours later. People are still doing pools or couldnt be ****ed to hand in their sheets. Like, I was running around trying to get pools and **** going and I wasnt even staff. I was also with Chibo when he was trying to do pools at 1am, not having all the sheets. Yes there were a lack of setups(mostly our fault) and yes **** happens and delays occur, but the blame for any delays or lack there of poor scheduling, its mostly on us.

Thank you Alex, you ran yourself into the ground for us, and this event. So did the rest of the staff, 1 oclock day 2 DM was limping he was so tired. So again thank you. I truly hope that you can find it in you to accept the challenge of running the next Apex, yes, some changes need to happen, but nothing perfect. You Failed no one. We failed ourselves as a community.

Shoutouts to the whole Apex Crew. And a special shoutout to Alex for pulling my name for the Gold Controller <3 It works wonderfully :D

I thought what Alex was saying was that he wasn't planning on posting on SWF anymore? I think I even saw him mention something about Apex 2013 in one of his farewell posts.

You should run the next apex so youcan find out for yourself.


this should be at the end of every post in this thread.

excuse me? You must not be familiar with my bay Dat Random Ni gga.
here, ill introduce you...

look at that, hes so humble too. He beat a top MK to get the placing he got and the bum he tied with only beat a scrubby ZSS to get that placing.

DRN for bess ZSS.
LOL just saw this post.

TL;DR

Don't feel bad about not making it out of pools at Apex.
This was only round two's upsets.
EXTREMELY STACKED
Don't matter how someone puts it. I'm salty I didn't meet my expectations (make bracket). I humbly accept that I got outskilled, but next time, that ****'s not gonna happen. Gonna practice my *** off for 2013.

To Alex, you did an amazing job at handling the problems that came during the tourney, and you shouldn't feel ashamed at anything. ****'s gonna happen, and you might as well improve from it. You kinda started to bridge the gap between the FGC and smash, but Saturday, you were taking a lot of heat from the FGC. The prizes were great, but they weren't the main focus that you wanted. It felt as if you tried to jump a little too far when you needed to just make everyone happy and have a great experience. Also, the fact that registering (and almost everything else) for the traditional FGs was soo different compared to smash kinda made everyone pissed off too.

If you're gonna try to bridge the gap again, my advice would be to focus more on having ample setups and treating registration (and anything else) the same as you did for smash. Also, I prefer the venue to stay cold entirely since it's easier to put layers of clothes on than being hot. It was pretty intense in the other room. You can add in the prizes later when the gap between the FGC and smash is smaller.

fOof - I hope you were able to make it back to Houston after missing your flight. We should play more!

VTS and Nintendude1189 - It was nice to meet you guys. :)

Citizen Snips / Bladewise / that Samus whose name I forgot / other people I played - GGs

Houston Brawl players - I ran into Leaf a ton and Sync a fair amount but I never saw anyone else. I hope you guys did well in Brawl / Pokemon and I guess I'll see you at the next joint tournament.

Papa Mink - You're pretty cool. I hope you did well in pools.

FGCU guy with long hair - I forgot what your name was but thanks for telling me about how you got all that stuff to work with your school. It's pretty amazing.

All those people I got autographs from - You made a random Houston player very happy.

Vudujin / Crismas / PB&J - Thanks for selling cool stuff. As a note to all other future sellers: I need more Ice Climbers paraphernalia!

Tin-Man: My Canadian brotha; we didnt get to play but you were too good mah dude. We'll chill soon I hope.

Ryo: Too much swagger in your soul. Your Ike was amazing and Im glad we were able to play one another. I do wish I got more friendlies in with you though. I wanted to learn more haha. Keep pushing that character. You are an amazing player, and an even better person. Talk to you soon.

vvv Zero: Awesome playing you in a MM! I got that two stock second game but you edged it out on Game 3. You are a very VERY competent MK! It was great playing you.

True Blue: My fellow sonic it was awesome chillin with you. I also love your sonic's swag. Keep it up man. Hit me up on Facebook so u can send that new number. Stephenson Oluwadare Bamidele ( i know its a damn long name)

Larry, Rich Brown, Tyrant, Havok, Zekey, MikeHaze, Tearbear, FoW, Z, Aisght, KP, Laurel: You already know. WEST COAST ALL DAY.

San: Nice to meet the man behind the wisdom. It was great conversing with you, and just plain chillin. I guess Ike mains are just raw people? hahah

Apex Sonics: I am proud of you all. I know some matches were rough, but im just glad we were all able to meet one another. I am so glad to call myself a Sonic main and be apart of our community.

Orion: Kinda pissed we didnt get to play our matches (damn the free play setups, but congrats on your placing. And thank goodness youre apart of this community; we need more sane people. Im sure we will talk more in the future my brotha, hopefully we'll meet up soon.

NEO: Excellent Marth, so glad I was able to play EC's best. Keep beasting in your progress in the rap game as well as Brawl. Hopefully Ill get to play you more in the future.

Ish: Theres too much to say so ill just condense it. Ish, thank you for being the greatest host I have had in years. Thank you for being a gracious human being and truly kind soul. Theres very little people in this world that would do what you did for us all. You have my overwhelming thanks, and I hope you know you are ALWAYS welcome in So Cal.

_X_: You are Sonic personified so it goes without saying that you are too good. Cant wait to chill with you again.

Mampam and RedHalberd: You 2 are too amazing. Im sad you all had to leave early, but you 2 brothers are good people. Not to mention hilarious and damn good at brawl.

Dabuz: great playing your Olimar; it is amazing. Im truly scared at what you and Rich will bring to the table post-Nietono. Keep pushing that metagame!

Arizona: Wheres Dekar? hahah

Nick Riddle: You are too funny man. You + X is just a great conversation.

Vinnie: I wish I had a chance to play your Gdubs; i know my training partner Paper wouldve loved that. Nonetheless, from the little we interacted, you seemed to be a very humble player. Hearing your stance on MK and seeing you 3 stock Ally just made me glad that there are actual players that continue to never give up and train until they achieve greatness.

Gnes: Didnt get to play you, but I saw your matches with my boy Larry and I must say your Diddy looks even better in person. It was awesome to see you amazing style and I hope you conitnue to improve.

Leon: Spectacular Marth and Peach man. Im sorry that you got in last minute and I sure that was rough on you, but you did well in this ridiculous tournament. And i will NEVER forget that Sexy *** kill on MVD in doubles. That ish was absurd.

Famous: That Fraud man. that Luigi is too much haha.

Anti: I hope you dont quit man. I really do. you are an amazing player, and chill as hell. The community can always use more of that.

TKO: You really shouldve been a commentator. Spittin too much truth for the masses.

Alex Strife, Dmbrandon, Doom: Thank you all for doing the best you could to make Apex memorable. Thank you.

Did the Brawl USA vs World crew battle happen? If so, is it going to be uploaded?

If both answers are yes, don't spoil the ending for me -.-

Special anti-shoutout to Vex Kasrani, who was apparently a GIGANTIC douche to one of the German players in R2. picked Marth after Ravenlord picked Lucas and refused to do a double-blind re-pick, went Luigi game 2 to spam misfire, picked D3 game 3 to chaingrab for the win. I'm glad Ravenlord told you in person that you were an *******. Way to misrepresent our country to the internationals.

For the record everything else I heard from the Germans about the people here was all really good stuff

to anyone i forgot, ggs, keep ****ing them *****es <3

lol @ "misrepresent"

play2win

Also Alex Strife, you shouldn't give up. No TO in this community actually lives up to the hype or runs things the way a schedule says when it comes to big events. As the community saw in 2011, you can **** up ALOT worse than running a few hours behind.

It's actually 100% false lol

I picked DDD game one, ***** him, game 2 wanted to warm up luigi for kakera's IC's but lost barely, then game 3 won with DDD on frigate, somebody told me it got cleared up though, but he took it offensive when it happened, I wasn't counterpicking him at all lol. He was only mad because he thought I was sandbagging vs him, which I actually wasn't and he almost beat me because I tried luigi.

There was only one real problem with this Apex........

NO BOWSER REPS!

I know there are few of us, but it's still sad that not even a single Bowser main made it to Apex. We need to launch a full-scale invasion of the next national or something, lol.
