First off, great games to everyone I played whether you beat me, or I won, or whatever the cirumstances were. ESPECIALLY to the new players that looked discouraged after our matches. GG's to you most of all, because it's going to happen to you over and over in the beginning, so the reason I go all out vs you guys is because I've learned that, there are 2 types of dedicated Melee players. The first type is the type that loves the game but hates getting beaten badly worse than anything, and they'll keep playing over the years but always feel negative about it it to some extent unless they can overcome it. The second type of person is the person that views getting ***** really really badly is inspiring, and goes home with motivation to be able to move like that, execute like that, etc. And I personally always hope for the latter.
To Freky, could you change my name to FLOW|Jesiah please? I forgot to enter with that name, but I also find it very humorous that I entered as "Jesiah" but somehow ended up in results as "JesiahTEG." Hahaha...Guess it's just my name.
4: JesiahTEG ($126) - dude it was awesome to see you come out to this! Impressed that you still were able to place so well.
Derf- Thanks man. I'm hopin to go out of state much more, and Ohio is awesome. Don't know if your second sentence is genuine or a backhanded compliment, but for what ever reason you have I'm glad that you're impressed.
Jesiah: dude, watching your marth game was sick. the play style seems so confident it was fun to watch. hopefully i can get better and really money match you for real haha
Dude no lie, for the time I was on your TV and the few others I was hopping around within that like hour and a half-2 hour span, i was playing out of my mind good LOL. That might be the best I've EVER played vs anyone out of state in my entire career, so I'M SUPER glad you got to see it because I can tell you felt hype and inspired. You're mad cool dude, and you can definitely get better...But don't worry, I'll always play for free if you want to haha.
Jesiah: Your marth scares me. Just get out of my head. I want to apologize for pausing during our match -- the TO was trying to get my attention for whatever reason during a tourney match and I wasn't sure what exactly was going on.
Thanks a ton man. Your first two sentences are the kind of compliments that I love hearing from people, as I love Marth and always try to do well with him.
About the pause, dude who cares...We're playing freaking Smash. Like, I get it, play by the rules because technically they're there for a reason, it's a legit tournament etc. but in my mind it just sounds ridiculous to take a stock from someone like that lmao. It's really not a problem.
However, I want to apologize because I was so tired at that point in the tournament, I literally don't even remember our match. At least 90% of it. I remember the pause, I remember you pulling a stitch, I remember an airdodge that I punished but other than that no matter how hard I try I can't recall the match.
Was it close? What stages did we play on?
4: JesiahTEG ($126) - Jesse, it was a blast playing you again. Our matches were fun (that 4 stock you got on me on FD reminds me of when I was like 4 months into this game and you used to 4 stock me a lot more regularly, and make me sad). Hope you and the rest of WNY comes out to more of these Ohio/PGH tournies.
Dude, you're seriously amazing now. Your defense with Peach is so, SOOO good. Take that style, and RUN WITH IT. Seriously dude, I feel like you'll get people complaining about your game, but you have this really great ability to make people play your game and that's the sign of a pro player. I knew from playing with you you had it in you, but to see it 1st hand is freaking amazing.
Your dedication is paying off, I think you're at the point where you might start placing really high at big events. I think you should train even harder than you are now to get there quickly, cuz everyone is also improving very fast, and if you just improve at the same rate as them, it may feel like you've been getting better for a while but are not getting anywhere, a ****ty trap to fall into. But great stuff anyways.
MAAAANNNGOOOO- Great to see you again dude. For real though, it's very rare for me nowadays to like, be super inspired by watching players/playing them. I'm always trying to get better but it's been a long time since I saw someone whose skill I respected so much. I mean, everyone gets respect just for playing Smash, but when we played...Man, idk how to explain it. It was ****ing fun LMAO that's the best word, it was fun. Like we were fighting and going at it. And at some points I legitimately was so impressed with your Fox that I was losing focus. That's how you know you're godlike lol but yeah you showed me a sick way of playing the game and I feel like we're actually really similar in terms of style, but you're just better by a good margin. And not like a kind of better that depresses me lol, a kind of better that's like, I've never been happier to get my ass beat. Good stuff good stuff, by far the most fun matches I played.
Abate- Dude, nice 3-0 on me. You're so good now, I remember playing you at Zenith 2012 and when I won someone asked me if I played anyone good yet and I said not really...Not to be an asshole, but I just legitimately had never really heard of you before. Now you're easily the best Luigi in the world and if you keep it up who knows how far you'll go. Ridiculously impressed.
Only thing that sucks is that I really don't remember our match at all due to being tired beyond belief. 1st match on YS 1 stock from you, second match I don't remember where, but you 3 stocked me? Then last match I don't remember score or stage.
It really sucks because I really value great sets with great players, and I can't remember **** lol...Hopefully we'll play again in the tournament but if you see this, refresh my memory on the set?
4%- Great matches dude. Same thing as hanky panky and abate though, I can't remember our second set or PM set...Actually, I kinda can't even remember the first one, but I do remember you went fox/sheik the first time right? And then second match only sheik, which was a great decision. Also, I watched you vs Abate I believe but I don't even remember that lol.
Either way great games and grats on the great placing...We'll play more friendlies next time, I was actually looking for you for our MM but I couldn't find you.
Nicaboy- I was looking for you for our MM but no one seemed to know who you were/looked like. They only said he was soft's teammate, and I didn't know who soft was at the time either. :/ Next time next time
Taki- Great job beating us in teams.
Carroll- GREAT POOLS SETS. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect but first 2 games were freaking crazy. I never underestimate anyone, but at the same time I don't go out of state a whooooole lot, so a lot of times I kind of go into matches with no prior info...And it was really hard.
I think game 3 I had a great lock on your playstyle though, so I'm happy about that, but it took a one stock and me losing to your 2 stock before I managed to feel more comfortable...And honestly that first one stock could have gone either way, so I might not have even had the time to think/strategize to win.
I think next set we play should be great. Nice job.
Soft- Incredibly close money match. Incredibly incredibly close. Thanks for finding me, because at that point I had asked everyone if they knew who 3 of the people I was supposed to MM were, and they didn't and I was going to save you for last just cuz you were the only person I actually knew was like really good, but if you didn't find me it may have taken a while.
At any rate, probably my second favorite match the whole tournament.
I think the best part for you was on FD when you made a comeback at the last second by resting my up b after forcing me on stage. I was like daaaaaamn lol. So yeah not much else to say but great games and we'll play again I'm sure.
Pyro- You're actually good now. How does it feel LOL
pbnj- my man. loooove seeing you at tournaments, great job in teams and unfortunate for you in singles vs me, but you did come super close and did it with 2 different characters. But yeah, you're the man, always great energy and ridiculous commitment to bus that far. Respect.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
Amazing tournament, really had a blast and accomplished a lot of my goals for myself personally this tournament that had nothing to do with placing, so I'm really happy.
I did however fail as a competitor to really get enough rest and sleep beforehand. The things I did well definitely outweigh this, so I don't wanna beat myself up too much, but I came up short in my last few matches in both games and it's somewhat of a bummer to feel sooo good up until the very end and then not be able to think like at all, and then not remember the matches at the end.
I do however remember losing to a mario in PM and I literally got spot dodge fsmashed to death in at least one of the games. LMAO like, legit I only remember over and over and over going for punishes and mario dodging and dsmashing me. At that point actually though, I was in a great mood and found it incredibly hilarious. There were also some ridiculous mario combos that combined with my fatigue, made me feel like I was watching a PM combo video instead of playing a PM match. So to that mario player, great games and I hope the match wasn't recorded for my sake, but I do for your sake lmao
