Shoutouts
First of all, thanks to everyone for coming. I hope you all had a fun time. It's been a blast, and I caught a whole bunch of footage so hopefully I'll be able to do some kind of lol-montage or something.
Sorry about the quality of the livestream, but I had no control over the quality of the internet. Making sure adequate streaming is available will be on the agenda for next time. A big thank you to JB and the rest of the LanSmash crew for untold amounts of equipment and support.
Thanks for all the equipment and for the co-operation and support I got from you guys. From here on in, barring LanSmash, I think I need to focus on helping Kaion and Hotdogs more. We need to have much more regular small scale tournaments. If we can build on that, hopefully we can grow our base of players.
I will still go to Animania/Gencon/Supanova/etc, but I need to focus where it counts first. Because if the current base of players aren't doing anything, if there's nothing going on, I can't expect people to want to enter the scene.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to the Out of State players that showed up. I hope it was well worth your time, and that we'll see you in Queensland again soon.
Amaterasu
Good job on 2nd in Brawl Chris. We all know you're studying harder than all of us combined, heck, any time you weren't in tournament, you were studying at your PC. We all want to see you succeed, so at the very least I'll try to hold things more regularly and see about organising meets on the coast.
Arrow
Always good to see you Michael. I heard about your Car, lame~~~ -_- Though I think Kaion had it worse than you You and Bob were on fire in Melee lol. Syke's lucky Lachlan carried him. I keep telling Nat the infatuation will wear off, but she doesn't seem to think so.
Calibur
Hey Callum! Familiar faces are always welcome. I didn't get to play or speak much with you, though I suppose running tournaments makes it like that. It'll be good to see you living in Brissie with Bob/Yokai. lol. I can train you in my image.
Dino
Stephen, even though you may disagree, your skills in both smash games continue to increase. Whether you're actively trying to get better, I don't know, but either way I hope you keep at it. Good luck back in Tassie and I hope you get better
EA
NATHANIEL I BEAT YOUR ICE CLIMBERS YEAHZZ. I guess I decided I didn't want to be grabbed this time though. Curse you and your ICs. So good. Scary good. Keep practicing, keep going for that consistency. It was good to see you and the other NSW guys again.
Gords
Gordon! You've gotten pretty good since I last saw you. That Diddy Mirror we had was INTENSE, and fun. GG's man, and good luck with your new job. I'll let you know when our next slew of tournaments are coming so you can come up again.
Hotdog
Scott reppin' dat Kirby. Good work all-round and thanks for helping me with Melee Singles Signups. I had to leave to quickly get money out to pay for setup refunds. Lets talk about the next HotCats soon okay?
Jbirds
James you massive Gentleman, nice Duds . You and Chris really are the face of QLD Brawl. Good job on your place in Brawl and keep practicing Melee. We didn't play all weekend which is too bad.
K-0S
It was epic to see you and the gang get your **** together and come up for the lolz. Good to see you still have the Melee spark, although I don't believe it ever goes away anyway.
Tedeth
Was so fun hanging out with you over the course of the weekend. Eating Sushi, playing Tetris in the car, all of that. **** PANCAKES **** THEM TO HELLL. NOT EATING THEM AGAIN. Dude seriously. I was sitting there for like a half-hour trying to eat that thing. Also sorry for making you guys almost run out in front of a cop car. Rofl.
Massive props to you for your Brawl and Melee results. Good to see you get back at Chris after Thriller. As for the 'Nobody was in attendance thing' for Melee, It is as CAOTIC has said before -- If people can't organise themselves with 3 months advance notice, then there's not much excuse.
Testikills
If anybody should be thanks for how well the weekend went, it would be yourself Dean. I don't think anybody realises, but you yourself were probably the biggest help to me, and to the NSW guys. Dean single-handedly picked up and hosted all of the NSW guys (And me on Friday), transported us to the venue, transported us to lunch/dinner/etc. Not to mention helping with equipment, etc.
I got no bull**** from you. Nothing was too hard and everything was easy. You and I just did what we had to do and put everyone else ahead of us. You may not have done too flash in the tournament, but you deserve more praise than everybody else for the effort you put in this weekend. So thank you.
Vyse
Get better.
Andrew
Hey man. Good to see you make it. How'd you go with Uni? lol.
Emery
Sup man, good to see you make it as well. Keep practicing with Lucario and make it to the next tournament!
Ethan
Ethan mate, always good to see you round. Shame we didn't play, but I didn't get to play many people at all.
Hobbs
Nat's friend right? Glad you came. Hope to see more of you both at tournaments and Uni.
Jaice
Dude, tough luck in the Brawl pools. I'm sorry about that, but those are the brakes. You got screwed over by a single loss. I'm sure you would have done awesome in the bracket, but that's the way it goes. Hope to see you next time!
Jesmo & JesFamily
Jesse! It's always great seeing you and your family at LanSmash. It really is a talking point for everyone how you always come and tear it up. Congratulations on placing 4th! I'll beat you someday
Was it Coreyna that won the Dingoo? Congratulations anyhow, that's amazing! I won it last time, but I was too busy to try again lol. The JesFamily made a real clean sweep!
Lucario
It was good to finally put a face to the name. I realise you've been to tournaments before, but I could never place you, and usually with Smash I can put faces with names. Good job making it to the tournament and I hope you come to the next one.
Matt
Good effing job making it to the top 8. Rep that Luigi! In fact, good job making it to the tournament. I managed to twist your arm? Haha. I hope you keep playing and keep coming to tournaments. Also bring more people!
Nasche
Nasche mate. Wicked Diddy you have going, better than mine. I'm not sure what impression I was able to make on you in regards to our tournaments, but good job on how well you did. I wish you had of been more clairvoyant in what your plans were, we could've hung out more! I ended up being too busy to do anything yesterday/today anyway, so I guess it wouldn't have mattered.
I'm sorry if I didn't cater to you guys enough. Usually I try to be as hospitable as possible to OoSers, but I didn't even know you guys were coming in til a week prior, so it was too late to plan anything. I've been busy myself both with work and at home so oh well. I hope you guys thought the tournament was worth coming to.
Nat
I hope you had fun at your first proper tournament with us. Although I already know the answer. The whole LAN knows the answer It was good to have you come along and help me out when I needed you. Thanks for remembering the money box for me Sunday morning. I would have been absolutely screwed If I'd forgotten that >.>
Hopefully you'll come with me to more of these things. They're fun, and I'll help you get better at smash as well <3
oldmanDORF
Adam! Sorry for mistaking you for Ranga, I have no idea why I did. I guess the image of your long hair was so ingrained that I couldn't see you otherwise. Good work making it out of pools! Organise another Dorf Off!
Proxy
Ah, Now I remember. You're the other Perthite to make it. It's a shame that we didn't get to play, but I'll be hitting you up soon to help you launch into smash here in QLD. I hope you enjoyed Tempest.
R4VEN
**** Chris! Sucks about your car man. I hope you're able to sort that crap out soon aye. I'd imagine you've got a lot to do to get things back on track. Amaterasu has your stuff, I don't know if you've got it back yet, but it's all safe at least.
You win some you lose some I guess. Lets get in contact soon and start talking about GC smash again soon.
Rocko
Hey Ricky, good to see you again. Keep at it with MK and get those results! Hope to see you come to more tournaments.
seaDORF
Dan! Bad luck in pools, what happened? I realise it's always tough, but you can get equally screwed by the Double Elimination bracket so that's just how it goes. I want to host more smaller tournaments so you can work on getting Gannondorf onto the map with some points in Australia's character ranks.
Segafreak
Good to see a returning face. I hope you and your friends keep up with the scene and turn up to more tournaments!
Shath
Been a while man, but like so many others we didn't get to play which is a shame. Keep an eye on your Email and lets see you next time.
Soulblade3
Sup dude. From the Manabar right? I hope you enjoyed your time playing Brawl at Tempest and consider tuning up to the next tournaments we have. It's always good to see new faces
toki
Bad luck on just missing out on the money. I would have really looked forward to watching you and Nasche play. Oh well, see you next time!
Accelerate
Ryan it was good to see you. Good to see you keep QLD results looking consistent as ever. Wasn't much of a Melee tournament, but hopefully it was worth your while to come out to. I'll hold a Melee tournament much closer to us in future, lol.
Bob
Tigerrrrrr, always a champ. Thanks so much for all the setups. They all got maximum usage. Funny commentary as always, and just good times in general. Gratz on 2nd in Melee doubles lol.
Dif
Caaaaaadman, you and Hugh are always equal proportions of epic and awesome. Thanks to the two of you for recording so much! And for the setups etc. It's for guys like you that I stick to smash and try my best to keep the scene going.
Hugh
Ditto above. You guys are too epic. BL on the Melee placing, but that's just how it goes mate. I'll keep hosting tournament as long as you keep coming, so hopefully we'll see each other again soon.
Kami
Been a while since we saw you, lol. Good work placing 5th
Also with stage bans, if the opponent elects not to ban something by saying something like 'Oh, it doesn't matter/I don't care' etc, ask them clearly and firmly one more time, "So you do not wish to ban anything". If they change their mind after you select your stage, if they object, tell them too bad.
Kas
Despite being the most laid back, I'm glad you still manage to find yourself turning up to these tournaments, in spite of the lack of attendance from other top QLD players. So thank you for that.
Good work placing 1st!
Lachlan
Hey Lachlan, lack of friendlies makes me sad, but we did get one in I think? Anyway, good to see you come in and play, lol.
Syke
AW JOIZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Also, I couldn't give a rats *** if you don't like my commentary <3
Moose
Zomg, couldn't defeat you with Faux
Glad to see you come to the tournament though.
Rob
You Falcon was beasting as usual. Good stuff placing in the money. Lucky Gords put out Chris aye? lol. I promise next time I'll try to do something on the coast. lol.
Uber
Thanks for coming and for the equipment. Teaming was hella fun too. Hopefully we'll get to see more of your Link around, haha.
