the singles video file alone is over four and a half hours long. It's a bit difficult to identify who is who in the video because most players played without tags. there are a bunch of friendlies between tournament sets which makes it all the more confusing. if that isnt bad enough, i'm using windows movie maker to crop the video :(

but yeah, you can probably expect the singles matches from station 1 to be uploaded by this week

jeez foy, you east coasters are just too eager. And you pronounce your "er"s "ah", and you greet people with " heYO!" thats just weird! you should stay in the west coast until that's fixed!

And yeah, I loved the tourney, very huge venue and the people are very friendly. I will def try to make it for the next one, even though I wont enjoy the ride too much. The people in my car def made it more enjoiable, thanks guys.

And if it helps, I was the red falcon, and I only played on tv 1 like 3 times, once for teams vs the GB MAr team and a couple times for singles (only friendlies, never for tourney) (actually maybe one time, was against joe, the link guy. . . . hey joe!)

good job to kfc, choknater, and obey.

great tournament.
thanks to buzz and **** for hosting and running it smoothly.
the venue was amazing. you should definitely try to have more.

what's up with people i've never met assuming i'm good at melee?
i'm ok and still improving but i'm not good.
idk why anyone even knows who i am...
prolly because i invented the wombo combo.

you fresno guys are all pretty good, but i think i'm done losing to you guys in singles.
and no... i don't want to money match.
and mexi... pokefloats. that's all i have to say to you right now.

obey's a sheik main, so gay is the way to play, (that's a compliment by the way)
but if you claim obey's gay based on his sexual ways it wouldn't matter anyway.
whether it's an accurate claim, i couldn't say.

obey is formerly known as d4dy, i think he's placed well at some bay area tournys before

i think the fresno guys are all somewhat equally difficult to beat, obey/d4dy just seems to place the highest

he used falcon against my ic's, and we used other characters on counter pick stages

i wasn't prepared for those coming to the tournament, so that's my john :D

next time next time

fly, what do u do about rainbow/brin/pokefloats? what do u do if u lose the first match, win the 2nd, and the last is countered on a gay stage? u stay ic's on all stages right?

also guys: i don't think obey's sheik is that gay at all.

I don't mind Pokefloats at all, so I never ban it. ICs do fine there as long as you don't let your opponent get below you. Also, since the stage is moving and whatnot, you can often force the other character into challenging your uair, which is a battle you should almost always win. Make sure you know how to move around the level without letting Nana kill herself.

Rainbow Cruise is obnoxious, but it's not all that bad; just play really conservatively. The only part you really need to worry about is the rising section, which usually isn't a problem if you can keep the other character above you.

I suck on Brinstar, but I think I'm getting better at it. Wobbles is good there and he recommends playing as if you're a solo IC the whole time, e.g. don't worry about accidentally letting Nana get separated from you via wavedashing on slanted surfaces.

I ban Brinstar against most characters. The only characters I usually ban different stages against are Marth, whom I usually ban Yoshi's against, and Fox, whom I ban Stadium against.


I almost always go ICs, but if I'm not feeling confident in them, I might go Fox/Marth. I only do that once every three or four tourneys, though.

peach on brinstar is easier to learn than i though.
so good.
mute too.

i started my match on mute against mexi getting my *** beat.
as the match went on, i learned to ignore some things and abuse others.
i made a semi-wack comeback and took the match against a better player due to match up/counterpick stage.

i'm proud of myself for winning on brinstar and mute city with peach... boy i have low standards. haha
