w/e next time I'll seed us on opposite sides. If you wanna play me you'll have to earn it next time. ;]

Did anyone honestly like the mushroom pizza? I was thinking of pineapple in place of mushroom. I'll tell A.S. Tech depending on the response I get from SB.

I believe Kevin wanted us seeded in the same side of the bracket so we can play each other AND not have me in the LB too soon because then I would **** the LB. I thought it was unfair to Michael that he had to play me too soon.

Wasnt huy the one bugging the whole **** time about you two playing in tourney? (which makes no sense btw) You cant seed "properly" if you purposely make match ups like that.

 

[DanteFox]

yeah next time I'll seed us apart

didnt mean to annoy any1 with that comment but as far as elaboration

of the top 8, 5 were in the top half of the bracket and 3 of the top 5 played in each other in the first 3 rounds. ppl were awarded byes who shouldnt have been given one. then there were obvious ppl who shouldve been farther apart, dante huy arguable the 2 best sb players were to close, sheen and andy the two best players who came from SLO were in the same side of the bracket, jeff and marty should not have played first round. those are just things i saw. if you disagree with any of these im sorry but i just felt these shouldnt have happened

also huy are you sure about the m2k/hbox thing bc seedings for tournaments with 2 rounds of pools are based of off pool results.

Horrible strawman argument by David. I mentioned that it would be possible for us to play each other and have me win up to a maximum 3 times with pools and up to a maximum of 2 times without pools. Dante assumed I wanted to play him first round, but I argued that doing so would result in a dominant player ****** the loser's bracket. I pushed for a switch where Dante and I were to play at a later round, but he said well let's just play. In other words I wanted to play Dante but not first round since it was unfair to Michael that he had to play me too soon. Dante assumed I would lose to a newbie and doubted by skill since I was sick so he didn't have enough faith in me that I would be guaranteed to win when playing someone who is not SLO, Jeff, Dante, etc. It was possible two seed us together without having one of us **** the loser's bracket AND STILL be able to play each other, so David's argument is invalid.

Wait are Jeff and Marty from the same region or they are both good or both?

TL;DR


Seriously Huy you need to stop. Its not even a matter of being nice or helpful. You have no idea how to argue or what the fallacies you are using even mean. All you do is spam these boards with little or nothing to contribute. So please stop. k thanks.

idk if theyre from the same region (if they are then it adds to my point), but if they arent the results show that they are good players

 

[DanteFox]

I'll be sure to add Huy to the list of people that don't know what a strawman is.

I'd never played marty nor had I seen him play before, so I didn't know he'd make it as far as he did. I seeded me and huy together because I didn't want him to moan when we either didn't play or when we only played in finals. I had a feeling both of us wouldn't make it to grandfinals so I just seeded us together. Huy changed his mind last minute (I guess he got scared lol) but it was too late, the tournament had started. Live and learn, it won't happen next time. I've got nothing left to prove against Huy. He'll have to prove himself to me.

Also to be fair there were only 4 slo people and I just separated them evenly across the bracket. I didn't realize andy and sheen were "the best" of slo. I just separated them by region. Next time I'll just use the dang program and make changes where necessary. Of course even then people will find something to cry and complain about, but w/e.

Should have just matched Huy against me first. Wouldnt be the first time I beat him in a tournament.

 

[unknownPresence]

all right dante, thats actually good reasoning sorry bout that.

and lol joe

 

[Master_Helmet]

I have been studying all day and could really use some Smash R&R...............................

 

[DanteFox]

then host a smashfest at your place joe. XD

I can't cuz I live with my parents. you guys already know haha.

 

[Master_Helmet]

We dont really have a good setup at my place. I was hoping someone else would offer. lol. i guess im just stuck at the library for now

 

[metalreflectslime]

Wrong. I do know what a strawman is. In fact you just used another one when you said you were not sure if both of us would make it to GF when it was clear that I would at least make it to R2. Marty went to the LPT with Andrew and Kevin. You should have asked me "Hey Huy, have you seen any of these guys play before? How should I seed them?" You should have asked them on how their seeding should be.

What floor are you on Joe? I may join you and leave with you to go to David's if you are interested.

 

[DanteFox]

You just demonstrated to me that you don't know what a strawman is. ggs dude.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Who is Andre? Doesn't David Mendez mean Andrej? I texted him asking who is Andre is, but he did not text back. I know Andrej, but not Andre.

 

[tarheeljks]

I was just thinking we change the thread title instead of making a new thread every singe time.

Also John wants to cancel Smash Club for this year since we're all to busy running it. I also tried Project: M at DGDTJ and it was really good.
