Aw look at that. Mike G got a name change. That's like gettin a haircut up in this *****.

As for people who've inspired me, mine's kinda weird. I can think of plenty of people who I could say inspired me to do this, that, try this, that, and the list would go on and on.
For the sake of this being the south room, I will mention that one of these people is Mike G himself. I remember the first I met him, my first tourney, MLG Orlando. I was talkin to somebody, cant remember who it was but it was somebody who was actually in the community. And I was telling them about the names I knew about and he was like "Oh, you know Mike G? That's him right there." and he points over to Mike, who's watching some people play. So I waltz over to Mike and I tap on the shoulder and say "Yo whaddup man. Im Dogysamich. Just wanted to meet ya and everything cause I'm tryin to get up into smash." Mike turns around and his this straight up viscious face that looks like he wants to say ".... who are you and why the **** are you distracting me for this match im watching". actually replied with "Yo wassup man.", but that's obviously not what I heard. For the longest after that, I was on a goal to get good enough so that people like him would give a **** about me. In my opinion, im actually not there yet.
**edit, forgot this section that makes Mike G not look like a jerk**
I asked Mike about this later (i think it was actually a few months ago, actually). The funny thing about this situation was he stayed up late the night before practicing and he was tired as hell. He didnt remember meeting me (Dont fault him for that), but he did remember being tired.

But for the person who really "inspired" me, I guess, I would have to say it was actually Brownmario (Yes brown, not green). I remember back when I would get online everyday to check captain jack's site for new videos watch, and one day I got bored and read the player bios on his site. I was lookin through and I see Brownmario's bio, and it says something like "It's incredible how well Brownmario does for living in (somewhere seculded in japan). He has nobody to practice with, so he trains with a level 9 mario for practice." I read that and was like "Wow, that's exactly like me. That means I can get good too." And that's pretty much the thing that's kept me in there till now.
