UCSD Winter Smash II - January 12th & 13th, 2008

[Saint Patrick]

Oh mah gawd, I'm still stoked about this tournament hahaha. But there are way too many people I want to shout out to right now, and it is way too late.

But short summary: Socal > Norcal.

 

[Awex]

For sure. Too much fun. I just wish I played better. That's how you get better though right? Going to tournaments and getting owned. (Provided you learn WHY you got owned and improve on that.)

 

[Antonio Tiznado]

Man.. you guys are lucky you even had the chance to go. Anyways, hope everyone had a better time then having to help the girlfriend finish her project. ;__;
haha.

Oh mah gawd, I'm still stoked about this tournament hahaha. But there are way too many people I want to shout out to right now, and it is way too late.

But short summary: Socal > Norcal.

just coz you beat zel

Then again I might be in socal next year, depending on how my apps go ><
hope to play lots of socalers if that's the case

 

[AzN_Lep]

That was a lot of work, not gonna lie. Tourney was definitely worth it though, there was so much free stuff too, off the top of my head: DSF - Rain of something... for 360; Lucky - Gears of War and a Travel bag; Gimpyfish - Forza 2. Awesome.

I'm not on my computer right now, so full results will be up some time tomorrow. I guess I'll do shoutouts later too. Wait a few things must be said; the following people ****: Mango, HugS, Darkmike, Gimpy, Zhu, Edrees. Oh and Kira's good now.

It's a bummer that we had to give out lame checks, and I don't really know what the singles pot was since UCSD students paid 5 while outsiders paid 10, but the payout is definitely between something like this:
SINGLES
1 Mango $400-500
2 HugS $250-375
3 Zhu $150-225
4 DSF $100-150
5 Lucky $50-75
5 Azn_Lep $50-75

DOUBLES (exact)
1 Mango+Lucky $312
2 HugS+Zelgadis $156
3 DSF+Zhu $52

[AzN_Lep]

lol ferr got azn_lep'd 2 peaches, i feel for ya

 

[Ferr]

Wow I was checking this thread for the first time, refreshed, and I was mentioned out of nowhere - had to reply

Really great job to the guys who helped run this thing - azn lep, mango, rick, just to name a few.

But yea like you said, when you're used to playing a peach that you can 2-3 stock consistently, playing 2 good peaches here (edreese one of them) was a pretty harsh reality check. I now hate her with a passion =p

My first time at a smash event large or small ever, what a blast =)

 

[Shmooguy]

Wow I was so tired before, but right now I'm awake. Thanks Patrick, Mango, Glenn, anyone else who ran the tourney.

Norcal + HugQ - Sorry we didn't play friendlies, I was dead tired during all of pools and singles.

Zhu congrats on 3rd, how do you get out of ICs dair cg? HydroKirby, you were really impressive. Zelgadis I don't care if you made the video that got everybody (including me) interested in competitive smash, you beat me in singles and you beat us 2v1 in doubles on Brinstar so go away. GJ in teams though. Zoap I enjoyed your trash talking. Phil you ***** me in friendlies. What's a sunbear? DarkMike everyone said you were really good but I never saw you play. And Snap is so cool; we didn't talk but I'm learning G&W starting right now.

Mango - Joseph you're pretty cool, cooler than a lot of people I know, including people my age. What do I counterpick against Peach?

Joey - Let's team. Fight my Fox again w/ your Sheik lol

MikeHAZE - no more jokes for you

ResidentWaffle - Best response ever:
Me: "Dude that bird is flying so low, that's like the lowest I've ever seen a bird."
Haze: "Oh yeah it is."
Waffle: "No... haven't you ever seen a bird on the ground?"
Lmfao

Alex - You laugh at such random ****

Bone - The fortune stuff was crazy, multiples popped up all over the place i swear lol

Nvm I'm tired. I'll edit later goodnight people.

 

[araknophobik]

i wanna do shoutouts but im waiting for this thread to be closed and the results thread to open

its got to be said though
darkmike and pnoy ****. they really impressed me this weekend

oh yeah, and for those who dont know

[LuCKy]

[Miharu]

/dead tired

That sounds nice. ****ing traffic made me miss my morning classes >_>

Azn Lep did a really nice job of hosting this. Probably one of the most smoothly run tournaments that I've been to.

Sleep first, shoutouts later.

 

[hitori]

woooow!

this was an amazing tourney, i'm soo glad I went! ^_^

Saturday was ~AMAZING~!
I teamed w/ roy, and I think we were both playing quite well, can't believe we ended up placing in the section tied for 13th! I completely flew through pools (not a single lost match except for BOSS who pwned my face w/ rest combos) and got to play BOSS+DSF in some friendly teams battles.

Sunday i think i slipped up a little bit, my game wasn't as on as I wished it would have been, but I still had a blast. Quick defeat in brackets, but I got to see some crazy matches from the pros.


Thanks soo much !

AZN Lep + St. Patrick + Rickety:

You guys rock! great tourney hosting, great venue, great everything! this was amazing and I can't wait to come back for brawl tournaments! Rickety, plz visit us up here in our town of sheiks! We'll house you and provide an unlimited supply of smash!!

BOSS + DSF:
daaamn. Thanks a ton for the friendlies matches. I think saturday we had some closer matches, and sunday you repeatedly beat our faces in. it was a painful, but quite exciting learning experience. thank you very very very very much! I hope to see both of you again at all the upcoming west coast tourneys!

PNOY:
Thank you as well for the friendlies we had. Any time you want sheik practice, roy and I are in for a few battles. =D


Everyone who signed my death note:
Don't worry, shinigami don't understand gamer tags. =P Edrees was the only one to sign his full name, but i think he goes by rosalina now? =P j/k


Soo glad I met all the pros that I did. you guys are 10x better than combo vids could ever show. Hope to see everyone around the tourney circuit in 2008!

 

[seigehyland]

this tourney was great...you rock azn_lep, mango, rickety....

not to mention all of you guys made it pretty far in the bracket as well....

ST PAT OWNED NORCAL YESTERDAY.....the triforce of power ***** triforce of wisdom

lesson learned: next time we put post its on the TV's that say "ICICLE MOUNTAIN IS BANNED..SO DONT ASK"

 

[nealdt]

Pat made money at his own tournament? Dirrrrrrrty.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

well i played horribly T-T

oh well, i had a LOT of fun

i'll do shoutouts at some point

is this on tia yet? *doesn't read posts*


ooooo first shoutout

snap: game and watch people more. *thumbs up*

you're gw is crazy and i love it

 

[The Game II]

MY VCR LIVES!!!!

for now

--GCII

btw, I don't think I've ever heard a Bowser chant before in the game. I'm encoding matches right now and I just heard it, wow.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

horay somebody is cheering for me!

or... maybe for some other bowser.

(unlikely)

 

[seigehyland]

hahaha...ive NEVER heard the crowd cheer for bowser until this past weekend. he deserved it tho.Link is suppose to HANDLE bowser...but you destroyed my hero (ZERO) of Time.

Next time gadget...neeeeeext tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime

 

[Gimpyfish62]

Next time gadget...neeeeeext tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime

Pretty sure it was me and my freind. Your bowser owns! :bigthumbu

 

[mikeHAZE]

shoutouts.....

azn lep - dude, thank you so much for everything. for housing me, for making me breakfast, for letting me use your shampoo. This tournament ran really smoothly and i'm glad it happened, and look forward to more.


....

more later. lol

 

[Shmooguy]

More shoutouts:

Pnoy - Best underrated smasher in Socal. You have like 19 characters but none of them counter Sheik LOL.

Some people in my pool - Thanks for not being quite as good as everyone else. Somewhere between fighting my long-*** match against HugQ (2 matches on Dreamland against Samus... and nobody plays Samus offensively except maybe DarkMike) and having to play Mike Haze for the millionth time I realized I was exhausted and didn't want to play anymore. So playing Luigi, Peach, Falcon, and Samus in tourney was a nice change. No really, I'm thankful for you guys.

Little Fumi - I apologize for chaingrabbing that first game. You were my first pools match; at that point I really wanted to win so I went all-out.

People who went to TGIF - Steve was ****ing ****. Gimpy and Mango's stories and pretty much everyone's smash stories are too good. Oh, but Alex's smash story was by far the best that time.

Alex - Thanks for the ICs advice.

Azn Lep - I had the easiest pool and most fun bracket ever. You should run every tournament.

Edrees - Why Rosalina? That controller is wack.

Mango - Mango's Falco > PC's Falco?

Boss - Don't feel too bad for our losses, both teams ended up getting 1st and 2nd.

JTB - Secret Weapon was working until that one suicide. I literally felt your pain when I saw that happen =/

Fabian - I can't believe you figured out a new Sheik trick. I always wanted to use up B more often but I figured it just wasn't practical enough. But if you use what you found not only on the edges of the stage but also on the edges of platforms then this could be really helpful. You know if you do the running off up B on Yoshi's Story platforms you can go down to the edge of the stage? I found that out a little while ago. Anyway, come over to smash, we'll reinvent Sheik.

Blitz - Your Spanish is so bad.

My DI got better and my Falco got owned. I almost got eliminated because I went Falco.

 

[Dodger]

Ok, real shout outs later, but for now, let me just say:

Steve for GOD TIER! ;-)

 

[araknophobik]

You know if you do the running off up B on Yoshi's Story platforms you can go down to the edge of the stage? I found that out a little while ago. Anyway, come over to smash, we'll reinvent Sheik.

OMG I DID NOT KNOW THAT
ima try that tonight at gimpy's
we'll reinvent sheik and EC wont know what hit them next time they **** with us =]

 

[Gimpyfish62]

little fumi is my hero

 

[romeo619]

good **** rosalina

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

little fumi is my hero

that kid is amazing. same with those other SD kids.

and gimpy, no hard feelings about our match?

 

[AzN_Lep]

I didn't really make any money Neal, I paid for Gimpy's and Mango's dinner and tipped The Steve like 20 bucks because he was amazing haha.

 

[The Game II]

10 matches available ... about 45 left to encode.

--GCII

 

[Gimpyfish62]

oh zhu haha i forgot to like tell you in person

i didn't quit out because of anything you were doing i was just like tech error explosion, i thought it wasn't worth finishing

i wasn't mad at sheik or anything like that XD

losing to a player of your calibur doesn't really bother me if we are both playing well and i get outplayed, i was just beating myself all tourney long T-T

oh well haha

good stuff zhu

 

[Saint Patrick]

10 matches available ... about 45 left to encode.

--GCII

Man, I wanna thank you for all the hard work you put into our community. Without you, we wouldn't have a fraction of the amount of matches recorded as we do now, and while your statistical list doesn't 100% portray peoples' true placing, I still think it's a valuable tool and a practical way to see who's consistent and who can beat ranked players. I think we all owe Glenn a huge thanks for his commitment to the smash scene over the past however long he's been with us.

 

[ycz12]

Thanks Glenn.

Deth is too good. >_>

 

[Awex]

that kid is amazing. same with those other SD kids.

and gimpy, no hard feelings about our match?

Hah, I play with those kids a lot. Santi (Lil Fumi) is pretty awesome. So are Zen and Justin. =)

[festizzio]

Man I didn't get home until 5:30 this morning. T_T I'm still really tired, I'll just say one thing: I returned my PGR4 to best buy and bought guitar hero 3 and 1408 and a cool guitar hero keychain.

Shoutouts: (that's right festizzio's doin shoutouts omg oh man)

Snap: Your G & W is crazy, I kept thinking I was spaced so your fair wouldn't hit me and BAM it hit me. Good stuff. I was the pikachu by the way.

Dodger: Wow we must have been playing at that one tv for like an hour and a half straight lol. I think I finally know what to do against Kirby.

Azn_Lep: Thanks for running this, it was an amazing tourney. We need to play

Larry: shoulda gone

Mango: Go puff on me foo' I think you or Joey left your controller in my Six Flags bag, it's black on the front and silver on the back and some of the paint is really faded.


Lucky: Good **** winning those two bags and the game, lol spirit award

ycz6: gamefaqs represent! We should have played.

Gimpyfish: what is...game..faqs?

Edrees: It was fun playing you that one game at the end of the night, I used to hate Peach but I really like the match up now.

HugS: lol we were playing you and Zelgadis in teams and I'm thinking "wow we're doing pretty good" and I look down and see you both have three stocks and we're down to our last one. >_< 24 hour ralph's are too good

JTB: Wow I still find it amazing that you actually rested a shy guy in tournament, that is awesome.

Kira: I really like that you don't chaingrab in friendlies, I get chaingrabbed by sheik in friendlies all the time and most of the time the person doesn't even have a sheik, they just figure it'll be easier. -_- so lame

ResidentWaffle: Man we need to practice more often in doubles. :-\ You going to Rancho?

Festizzio: Good **** festizzio

Nevada guy (can't remember your name): I think it was you and your partner we lost to in doubles, man we shoulda had that first match. >_< Good stuff though, I've never fought double sheik before.

Zhu: I always have fun playing you, you're a really cool guy. If I knew how to fight Falco maybe I woulda only got 2 stocked. >_>

Blitz (aka Jeff): Jeffrey the Giraffe LOL

DSF and Claire: Man I see you guys at like every tourney I go to and we've never actually talked, and I haven't played either of you since like...a long time ago. O_o

Mike Haze: Play me in friendlies

Chipotle: Don't close so early -_-

Bone: I had fun playing you in friendlies.

Zelgadis: I've never been shined blind so much in teams before, Good stuff.

Rest of Norcal: Trash talk was funny as hell to listen to. "Good **** Snap You suck Snap Good **** Snap"

Last but not least Dreamhack, thanks for letting us stay at your place man, I'm really glad we met and talked and stuff, that carpet was amazingly soft and surprisingly comfortable. Those breakfast sandwiches were the best I've ever had, thank you and tell your sister thanks again.

I think that's it...phew lol

 

[seigehyland]

little fumi is my hero

haha..that kid is crazy. we haveto help him make a combo video that makes "shined blind" look like a n00b video. it'll be called "fumi twice, shame on you"....he'll be a 10 yr old smash celebrity.

Wow those people are jerks if they chaingrab in friendlies.

Thanks so much for driving man, we owe you. We owe you about $10, which I already gave you.

 

[Saint Patrick]

Chain grabbing in friendlies is for lame-*** ****ers. Which brings me to my first shout-out:

DSF: Our sets get closer every time, mr. I-johned-about-messing-up-a-lot. I'm glad we kinda had an unspoken no chain-throwing thing goin on; made the match a lot less stressful and more fun. Always good playin with you dude =P
