This was fun! I wish I could have stayed longer and gotten to know some folks. I also wish I were better at tournament play, but I'd still prefer casual free for alls with all stages and at least most of the items turned on. Hope to see some of you guys again in the future.

If you're wondering who I am, I was the guy in the gray shirt who played a lot of Peach, Bowser, and Mr. Game and Watch. My boyfriend and I brought one of the setups but left around 4. We live in Graduate Hills, and we're always up for some Smashing with people in the area. I'd especially like to find more people on the campus network so that we'll be able to play Brawl over Wi-Fi and hopefully it won't totally suck.

Later, and congrats to the winners!

you know, i don't think anyone remembers you. you should come to more tournaments and get widespread recognition as the guy in the gray shirt who played a lot of peach.

for serious.

PS- this tournament was balls. pools were done while there were at most like 35, and teams could definitely have been seeded more appropriately. that and now that i'm here right now, temporarily stranded, there's this guy playing a terrible ****ing piano, playing terrible ****ing music . ****ing ridiculous.

PPS- UMBC, we don't care.

i thought it was fine and i had fun. heard there was one pool that was rough. it's their first time hosting a tournament. it's better to give helpful criticism as opposed to just being like, "man this sucked balls."

Yeah, I own up. I'm the most experienced member of my crew and should have been more involved with running this tourney. Sorry to everyone who got screwed. We'll do better next time. One of the things that screwed up singles seeding is we had to separate Chu, his cousins, and then on top of that we had to separate everyone who played in the same pool.

And by the way. We only did pools because technically we didn't have permission to use that room. So we had to speed things up else we'd be in like... Trouble and stuff.

errr...pools take longer. if we had gone straight into brackets, players in pool who played three matches (who didn't get out of pools) would have only played two matches.

There isn't really an "easy" pool if you really look at it. Sure, the ones you mentioned might look easy but I mean, it's DOSV and Boss, what are you trying to say?

IMO, the single pools were seeded fine. If you think you got a hard pool in this case, blame yourselves and your skills. Make it a motivation to get better.

Im not Sayin I got a Hard pool but When I say Easy Pool....DOSV and BOSS were in a pool with a guy most ppl on my level could 4 stock...so in a sense it was a one-way to brackets....It may have not been easy for the guy but for DOSV and BOSS it was easy simple cuz they wre the two most skilled(obviously) and they didnt have someone else their level to mix things up....and my lil godbrother got chillin in his pool lolz

Blaming others = being a sore loser. Stop complaining. :p

This was a 32 man just for fun tourney. If you didn't make it out of pools, its really your own fault. Too much self-hype and nothing to actually show for it = you. Go practice.

Let me run down how this works. we had 8 pools. 8 are 1 seeds, the 8 best we picked. 8 are 2 seeds. the problem is we have to have exactly 8 1 seeds and 8 2 seeds, the people we think are getting out of pools. However, there may be 9 2 seeds ( which is what happened). Only 8 of them actually get seeded. WHich means there will be a pool with a 1 seed and 2 2 seeds, and maybe someone else. That was the pool with Chu, Shinku, Hova, and Rebel581. Then there are pools with a 1 seed, a 2 seed, and someone else. WHich was DosV, Boss, and whoever else, and if that was you, do you think you would have made it a normal pool by being in it? You're But the reason Boss and DosV had an "easy" pool is because they're good. Most good players have an "easy pool" while most worse/bad/whatever players have a "hard pool". The more people you have the less chance you'll have of getting pools like Chu's.

Long story short, life is ****. SHut the **** up and live with it or actually get better. Life will still be ****, but you'll be more capable of dealing with it.

Go back 2 the part about Seeds and trees again....

lolz I understand but geez it 'twas a joke even if it was semi true and had I switched w/ DOSV or Boss I would have gotten out lolz :laugh: anybody would....

and whats up with Life is **** are you Emo? And I Have been getting better its just terrible when A. Every1 else gets better too or B. I didnt get better enough to beat Hova(lolz)

Voodoo-Next time Im not goin down so easily...

Blues-I hate ICs and stop being too modest its almost scary

EE-C'mon son Im no Hova


EDIT: Just saw the Last page....WTF? Im not being a sore loser! I was merely talking about DOSVs and Boss' pool It was a joke get over it geez ask DOSV I joked with him about it all day....even he joked about it... Sarcasm on the net is hard 2 do....


*Storms off to make thanksgiving food*

Oh and if anyone messes up the ham on thanksgiving you have to deal with me....Knife fight MM?

and @ Aho-I dont have too much Self Hype...if anything I underestimate myself in certain matches that I do well in.....

And if you arent gonna help me practice stop saying go practice Geez its not like I have a nice free life like everyone else and personally I think I have been doing pretty D**N good 4 11 months of ever playing this game. So seriously if oyu arent going to be part of the solution 4 a non-existent problem....dont put in your input....(Unless you are willing to pay $10)

@ Aero I missed your Falco Ill play you next time


@ Anyone Else who says Im Johning It was a Joke and as to raise a question about the pool. Im not mad, I never make it out of Pools anyway(Actually this was my easiest pool yet so I AM a lil dissapointed) Stop making it more than it is and train me if you have a problem with the Spam/Johning and I'll show the work I put into this game. (ecspecially considering I dont have the resources some of you have)

Sorry 4 the long Pst

@ Chred2AKrisp- Explain why I didnt play you? I really wanted to play you again.

@Ron-$#!+ Stop hating the technical aspect of this game.

@ Shinku- If I fail math Its your fault...meaning you will degenerate back to high school and take the class 4 me (YES)

And once again I will extend this invitation

If you dont like the "Johning" or 'Jokhning' then train me o I have no excuse

Wait... I was in the death bracket!? Why didn't anyone tell me this? Either way, I'm making it my goal to get out of pools next time.
