Hey guys, since I don't know a lot of you East Coasters by name, allow me to introduce myself - I am Rofa, I used to run biweekly tournaments in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and oh I play meta knight lol.
I brought Anther, NOJ and SamuraiPanda to COT4 along with a friend to help me film. Yes, all of the "riot" is on film, along with all the **** that ensued afterwards. I have been making a documentary about Smash for about half a year now. I've been following several smashers such as SamuraiPanda and Princess Aura with my camera crew for awhile.
I've been playing Smash competitively for over three years now. I have been to tons of tournaments, although none as big as this one, and was shocked to witness how this tournament ended. I feel that I owe it to the community to release at least some of the footage of the "riot" and the events that followed shortly afterwards. Honestly, some of the footage is simply too inappropriate to be released at this time. I will post some of the clips in this thread soon.
The documentary film is called "Smashed Together" and it will hopefully be done sometime in April. The full story can be seen then. Until then, I will release some clips on youtube and such to show you all at least some of what happened.
I have over 12 hours of footage to comb over from this thing, so it might take a couple of days. Until then...
P.S. Oh, and Michigan should have *****. It was a sad and disappointing tourney for all of us. NOJ and Panda missed brackets, then SPAM ****ed everything up lololol. Spam, mad props to you though for running Anther, Lain and Judge into the ground consecutively at the end. Your style of play impressed everyone. We are still talking about how Spam is ****, lol.
