STL: A Cool Cats Approach to Competitive Brawl($5 dollar entry)

The Deal Breaker:

So we are still not sure if this is going to be a monthly tournament series for St. Louis. It was without a doubt a lot of fun and the turnout was good. But only at first glance. More than half of these were out of state attendance. Only 12 people that entered the tournament were from the St. Louis area. Hopefully with the good turnout for this month and the good reception that we are likely to receive, alongside with a few videos and pictures provided by Ripple and Rauleen, local players will be more willing to come. There are a lot of local players that were on the verge of coming, but did not for various reasons. In addition, this isn't the only factor in deciding whether or not this will turn into a monthly thing. As you all know, this was at my house. A good turnout was awesome for the tournament, but also increased the mess afterwards and the noise level when the tournament was going on. Whether or not my mom will allow me to go on with these is up to her. I can confirm that my house will be a venue for future tournaments, but how often I can't yet say. If this does turn to monthlies there will be no tournament in May. I’m going to have a lot going on and this just isn't going to happen. If this turns into monthlies it will be starting in June. When this does happen again (either monthlies or just another tournament) I will be sending another wave of private messages on both Smashboards and AllisBrawl to remind people. I want to thank everyone for coming and supporting this though. I had a lot of fun.

tl;dr version: Worst case scenario this will not be a monthly tournament series, but more tournaments in the same venue will happen on a less regular basis. Best case scenario monthly tournaments will begin in June (skipping May) .

Shoutout to Joker for losing to a ****ing Lucas and then eliminating both my friend and myself prematurely in Losers.

hey twilight, our "$5 money match" is going up now

Please put up me vs Razer alongside it, so that I can have SOME dignity.

did you play him early or during singles... looking for things when I didn't split them for over 6 hours is kinda hard

The Deal Breaker:

So we are still not sure if this is going to be a monthly tournament series for St. Louis. It was without a doubt a lot of fun and the turnout was good. But only at first glance. More than half of these were out of state attendance. Only 12 people that entered the tournament were from the St. Louis area. Hopefully with the good turnout for this month and the good reception that we are likely to receive, alongside with a few videos and pictures provided by Ripple and Rauleen, local players will be more willing to come. There are a lot of local players that were on the verge of coming, but did not for various reasons. In addition, this isn't the only factor in deciding whether or not this will turn into a monthly thing. As you all know, this was at my house. A good turnout was awesome for the tournament, but also increased the mess afterwards and the noise level when the tournament was going on. Whether or not my mom will allow me to go on with these is up to her. I can confirm that my house will be a venue for future tournaments, but how often I can't yet say. If this does turn to monthlies there will be no tournament in May. I’m going to have a lot going on and this just isn't going to happen. If this turns into monthlies it will be starting in June. When this does happen again (either monthlies or just another tournament) I will be sending another wave of private messages on both Smashboards and AllisBrawl to remind people. I want to thank everyone for coming and supporting this though. I had a lot of fun.

tl;dr version: Worst case scenario this will not be a monthly tournament series, but more tournaments in the same venue will happen on a less regular basis. Best case scenario monthly tournaments will begin in June (skipping May) .

Great tournament, everyone! SHOUTOUTS!



1: MJG - Good job on first! Toon Link is too good, nice work against Domo's MK, I'm sure it's not easy keeping on the stage in that matchup. I'll have to actually play you, one of these days.

2: Domo - It's always fun to see you and joke around. You were too funny in crews, it was a blast. Jack is really frustrating to lose a match to, but it's really all in good fun, you just have to understand his sense of humor.

3: Zeton - ZEEETOONNN. I got mad hugs for you, Zeton. Mad hugs. :D You're always one of my favorite people to see at a tournament man. Good game in crews, I can't believe you recovered from that B-Air wall, I was sure I had you! I'm not sure I will ever bother learning the Falco matchup against your Fox, we'll see. I think I might as well just play DeDeDe though since I already know it and it seems to work well enough, hahaha.

4: Fino - Nice friendlies, I'm glad we finally got some Falco vs Olimar matches in, since we haven't really even done that.

5: Nicole - Good job on 5th! You do so well against OOS people / various matchups... I need to get some tips from you on how to do that, hahaha.

5: Hylian - Always good to see you man, you're super cool and funny. I really had a blast playing you in pools, despite losing. I thought the matches were very fun. Also, thank you for getting chained by Zash right after me, so I don't look like such a newb. Now the world knows that Zash is ridiculous and the chain is unbeatable, lmfao.

7: Future - Nice tournament, cool cat! You're right-- All I have been playing is Brawl Doubles and SF4. It makes sense that I would do bad in singles, now that I think about it. Thanks for clearing that up for me Remember when we hugged and you accidentally close lined me? Wait, you probably don't because you were on any number of substances because you're ********. lol <3

7: Joker - JOKER! Mah boy! Always good to see you dude, I had fun in teams friendlies. C4 is the best, hahaha. Maybe one of these days we can team together, you are way too good in teams. When we played in doubles bracket, I felt like I was doing well against you, but then you just wouldn't die. lol, great job surviving with that big fat stupid snake :D Good job on still making 7th despite losing to FAE's Lucas early on. He beat me too, man... that guy is crazy!

9: Cook - Hey, we actually did well in teams, hooray! I'm glad our practice is finally paying off, maybe there is more MK/Olimar in our future.

9: SkyPirate - Nice meeting you, we didn't get to talk much, hopefully we can next time :D

9: TP - TP, WTF, you don't do this well. Use more Ganondorf so I'm not ashamed to get last place when you get 9th, jeeze. :D JK man, good job, it looks like you are finally having success and you deserve it. You have always had really good reads and it looks like you are rounding out your game to become a full fledged player, I'm very proud of you :D

9: Ripple - PLAY A MOTHER ****ING SAXOPHONE, NOW! Seriously, you look like an awesome street musician in that awesome hat. If you ever wear that hat at the same time as your awesome coat, I think the world might end because it would be too awesome. Good to see you again man, it's always good to. You are a pro match recorder and uploader too :D

13: Razer - "Priah", as in pariah? That's a good word, so I hope that's what your new tag is :D Good to see you again man, I feel like it'd been forever since I last saw you. Good games in doubles and singles. I am going to be eternally pissed at myself for SD'ing in our last singles match, haha. I seriously did not mean to knock that Wii over though-- I don't rage that way, it's gay to do that, lol. I was really off in singles but you were definitely playing well too and that's not an easy matchup for you, so good job.

13: Surjan - Good games in bracket dude, it was nice to meet you. I may be bad against Diddy but you definitely are good and deserved a win, so good job. Also thanks for losing to Legan's Falco on purpose, he needs people to coddle his ego, you are a good man for sacrificing your ego so that Legan's may live. lmfao <3

13: Schism - Schism! You teaming with Jack was actually pretty cool, you guys should try that again sometime! Good to see you again man :D

13: Legan - MAH MAIN! You should switch from a Link main to a 54 year old ******** man main. I bet you'd ****, well at least the ladies anyway, you'd **** them. Lol <3 I need to play your Diddy on Tuesdays to get practice with that matchup. Hugs and kisses, enjoy the flames of hellfire and damnation, lmfao.

17: Watkins - I'm not sure I actually got to meet you

17: JLO - Dude, I wish I could remember that song that I randomly sang about you. I remember it to be awesome. I love talking to you, you have such a cool attitude and your peach is awesome because it's like Nicole but less vag. AMIRITE!? Lawl I'm david. I <3 you JLO!

17: Oranos - Good to see you again, PT vs Falco is a bit hard for PT. You gotta get that Squirtle up-tilt lock down on Falco, then you can 0-100% me and D-Throw me :D

17: JoWii - JOWII! You're the best/worst trash talker ever. Great to see you again man, I hope things are going well for you down in Texas :D Hugs and kisses buddy

17: Zash - GOD DAMN IT FUCKING BULL**** ZASH!. But seriously I love you. lol, you made crews 10x better than it already was, you're so awesome. The Sheik boards are ****ing ******** if they think you suck, because you're obviously really really good. I hope to see you again at many more tournaments, because you're awesome :D

17: SNO - Good job in teams, our set was REALLY CLOSE, you and FAE almost knocked me and cook out, great job!

17: FAE - Holy crap, you have gotten a lot better. I can't believe you beat Joker, great work man, really amazing Lucas! I hope to see you again soon!

17: Tmacc - TEEEEMAACCKK!! I <3 you, you know this to be true. We'll work on the Fox matchup, it's very hard to play against Zeton. I can only do it with DeDeDe and even that I only learned a few months ago after playing him over and over again in the past. He's really good and hard to read, so don't let it get you down. You've improved so much and you have one of the best attitudes of any smasher that I know. Keep that up and the sky is the limit to your improvement!

25: Peeks - PEEKS-MOBILE, AWAY! /zoom! Lol, good to see you again man, please wear more vests and headbands, because you look strikingly handsome and prime for the sexin'.

25: Metal - OMG, you did well with Falco in doubles... then failed in singles, lawl. Play more Brawl singles and less Doubles and SF4 when you practice, newb

25: altF4 - STTTEEEEEVVVEEE. 10,000 hugs. I'm sorry you felt sick I <3 you soooo much though.

25: Josh - You will be really scary when you learn Diddy. Keep up the good work, TP will train you, but don't listen to anything he says because he makes no sense. lmfao, just kidding, just don't let him try to make you play Ganondorf

25: Radium88 - Great job hosting again, the cheesecake cupcakes were good and so were the cookies! You are becoming a very pro T/O!

25: Clove - Your matches vs Domo were really really close. You also have an extremely awesome attitude towards the game, and you don't go easy on yourself just because Samus is low tier. That's the best way to be, keep practicing and anything is possible, your Samus is amazing and with your attitude she will only get better.

AY FUTURE, WHERE DAT YOSHI AT!?!

/rage

should have gone yoshi in crews against joker lol

fuuuuuck snake
