Hall of Gaming 6 results - 7/2 - Wallingford, CT 36 entrants!

Great turnout guys! I'm so glad everyone was able to make it out. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves despite the tournament running a little later than we'd all have wanted.
Super special thanks to Diesel for recording some amazing bracket matches & Swift for being awesome as always. He's calling the shots at the next HoG, btw, so everyone watch out

As always, Amateur went amazingly.

Thanks Blanky <3

Love you DD.

See everyone at the next Mass Madness. (Mid-late august!)

Time for longass shoutouts:

Pro
1: th0rn ($149) - GG's ****** me all day and first round of brackets -- didn't know what to do, so I just started mashing shine like a scrub. That Falco is just something else.
2: Swiftbass ($67) - You had WF's, man! Don't worry about it, we all know who the winner was in our hearts. Also, Eva ***** loooool - lemme know when you're going to CTcon
3: JPeG ($42) - Our pools set was the closest **** EVER. I almost had a heart attack. Good **** in friendlies, and especially good **** ****** my balls off in bracket. You seriously just outplayed me.
4: Skillznasty ($24) - Fun friendlies at the beginning. Your tech skill is off the hook, and I'm still stealing those shine stall tricksies.
5: Mafia ($12) - Needs moar Falcon punch/mutual knees to the face in Falcon dittos
7: WeaponX - Great friendlies at the start, love those WD back dsmashes that caught me like 20 times. Also, I love the consecutive stitch -> bomb -> stitch clutchness. Favorite moment all tourney was when you had a bomb in your hand and I grabbed and uthrew you, using the lasers to cause the bomb to explode on you. Totally unexpected!
7: s l o x - Dude, you've gotten so much better from the last time we played. Your Fawks and Marf are pretty **** now, and I honestly don't think I'm better than you. I feel like you got a little nervous during out set. Also, good **** eliminating everyone I was afraid to play in brackets. Looool, you saved me, man.
9: Banks - Only played like 2 matches against your Fox. Sorry I wasn't paying full attention, but Swift vs. th0rn had too much hype going on in the background. Your Fox ***** though -- SWITCH MAINS!!
9: Ryu Cloud - Great Marth, great spacing, and great edgeguards. Also good **** taking that match off Swift. I really don't know what happened during our set -- feel like you should have won.
9: Andy - Didn't get to play you, but I saw your Puff wrecking **** in teams -- good ****.
13: Bailey - Great Falcon and great team friendlies in the beginning. Definitely prefer you on my team than having you combo me into oblivion like *****.
13: Diesel - It's been a long time since we've last played, but I feel like your Ganon definitely improved. Your combos were ****ing devastating, and you had great edge guards. Just gotta stop jumping every time I uthrow you -- leads to like three free uairs every time.
13: Crush - ****ing 13 year old mad tech skill prodigy. That's seriously impressive. Also, **** hacked set up.
13: Sora - Didn't get to play you, but I saw you **** Swift's Falco in pools. I was so scared to play you in brackets -- amazing Young Linkness!
17: Blanky - You have a great Mario and great spacing -- the Fox v Mario match up is just too stacked. Also, definitely feel like you got nervous during our set, but great stuff in friendlies.

Amateur
1: SOLAR ($32) - Incredibly surprised you didn't make it into pro brackets. Good **** wrecking train in amateurs though.
2: Aber ($16) - Great Marth, you had a great ledge camping game -- gimped me a couple of times. I remember playing you my first tourney, and you've gotten so much better since then.
3: Tyz ($5) - Pfft, who is this scrub who randomly made his way to LF's?
4: Derrit - Good **** in friendlies, heard your set against Tyz was mad close.
5: Lemon - Good stuff in pools -- just don't get too nervous. You were missing L cancels and dsmashes. You CC'd like half my aerials but didn't do anything out of them. Overall, I feel like you could definitely have taken matches off and stuff.
5: JDog - Good **** in friendlies. Keep that Falco going
9: Zebra - Thanks for the ride, man. Definitely play with me and Tyz some time.
9: Mars - Nice Falco in pools, just gotta laser camp more, loool.
13: QTip - Is your name Quinn? Cause my name is Quinn too, and I kept hearing people say it throughout the tourney, but every time I turned around, no one was talking to me. Was driving me insane LOL
17: MattDotZeb (Acted as a Bye) - Surprised you didn't make it out of pools, but you also have the odds stacked against you with running the tourney, managing the venue, and whatnot. Great tourney though, despite No Johns' eating away our attendance. We should play next time.

Also:
Brookman - Thanks for playing those nonstop friendlies with me. Really helped me warm up, and I'm definitely stealing your trippy *** tricksies. Those side B tech chases are too good! You should really enter next time.
Ball - Don't see your name in the results. Did you not enter? Your Luigi is amazing -- ****ing uthrow wavedash chain grabs.

Everyone in CT (Swift, slox, Zebra, Bolt, Aber, Brookman, etc.): I really need to play you guys more. I haven't had time this past semester cause classes were ****** me, but now that it's summer I definitely wanna keep up. Feels like you've all gotten so much better, and I've kinda stagnated. Just PM me or something!

All subway staff members are on a lower tier than Diesel

The subway people were legit

Way too much fun for one weekend

I just want to say that I had a wonderful time at the tournament, and I really enjoyed playing some people outside of my area. Now to complement some people and make some feel like ****.

th0rn - Basically you made me cry. My Falcon was ra*ed by your Falco, and the only redemption I had was the triple knee on your Marth.
JPeg - If I had not played friendlies with you my life would be incomplete. I had more fun than I could ever remember kneeing each other around the stage. Thank You.
Mafia - Great friendlies. I was looking forward to playing you, and I'm real happy we did.
QPac - Wonderful teammate, and the best compliment: 'Wow, you read everything I did perfectly'
Weapon X - Taking the crown to the face was all part of MY plan...sort of.
Banks - I did not end up slitting my wrists after I played your Sheik, but during the ride home I was considering it.
Diesel - If I show up at your house asking for a Gannon match, its because ours was cut short due to clean up. Also, you did sound like Hercule from Dragon Ball Z (which is awesome).
Crush - I'm glad my presence was significant enough to be remembered as a Home Depot employee...
Len - I play you at home, but we had an incredible match at the end of the night. I told you that you'd win!
SUBWAY - For providing delicious subs for my oh so wonderful appetite.

Everyone else - If I did talk to you, NICE! If not, SORRY. I enjoyed playing/talking with everyone that I did.

Nick: Doc team had a few insane combos.

On a side note, how awesome would it have been if Banjo-Kazooie was in Melee? Too bad Rare isn't part of Nintendo anymore.

Feels weird going to a tourney without Dave or Kevin but in a good way
Shoutouts for matt being matt goodstuff running the tourney we gotta play though man
Shoutouts for seeing my ***** Nick (Darkdragoon) we should of played some friendless i been playing to many bad sheiks

1: th0rn ($149) Good job in Wfs/Gfs and i learned so much from our friendlies i wish we could of played more but Andy was cockblocking lol that Falco is out of this world
2: Swiftbass ($67) watching you play was so much HYPE talk about competition GGz in bracket not going to lie i thought i was gonna take it lol
3: JPeG ($42) our little set in the beginning of the tourney was close but its good to know that i didnt lose to some random falcon good **** in singles and teams
4: Skillznasty ($24) we def played like the whole tourney helped me get warmed up alot nice spacies
5: Mafia ($12) Good looks for the advice son, im always listening to you and take what you have to say seriously I came to this tourney to learn and get better more than bracket wise . Our fox dittos were ****!! You gotta get that real ***** hand shake down though smh
5: Qpac ($12) Dude good **** in bracket i was playing hella dumb and for some reason playing like it was just another friendly but your Fox is really fast and punished me alot for being in my shield next time ill give you the real match
9: Banks nice seeing you again bro ggs in pools and friendlies we played so many, and i kinda forgot how it was to play a good sheik felt like you was kinda off this tourney though btw lloyd banks is the homie
9: Andy JUST LET ME PLAY THAT JIGGLYPUFF LOL nice seeing you man and good stuff in teams gotta watch out for those rests
13: Diesel GGs man that gannondorf is looking pretty scary nice edge guards
13: Crush THE PRODIGY!!! I still think its amazing that your 13 not just because of your technical ability but for your smarts in the game that not alot of players have GGs in pools and ima try that marth stuff you was telling me about but i can see you getting really good in no time
13: Sora yo man that young link is so **** so fun to play i think real talk that i had the most fun playing you the whole tourney and im probably gonna get back into Kingdom hearts just because of our talk GGs
17 Blanky and Jdog teams match was so intense you guys are fun to play and you guys were Cheezing so HARD!! lol cool people

SubWay and Meat ball Marinara = Aiiiiiiight

No johns had about 36 people at the venue, but only like 27 entered. Somehow we need to find a place half way between tristate and CT so we can combine these turnouts and make some awesome monthly regional or something with 60 + people. That is what melee needs.

Most of the people here are from new england who wouldn't want to drive 4 or more hours to a tourney so Idk about getting 60+ people
