Hey, I'm Ty! and I played Falco, not Pikachu. I also played Ness for one match. If you could update that, then that would be awesome.

Fixed. Thanks.

Ty, did you win the match/set that you used Ness in?
No I lost to Ragnarok game two when I played Ness. Looking back I wish I would have stuck with my Falco for that one, but I actually did better with Ness game 2 than I did game 1.

Well, it's really only worth putting a character if the character helped you win a set.

Micaelis!!!! Glad to see your using DK again!
Yeah, him and Wario both. I'm liking the combo a lot and feel really comfortable using them. Still annoying to fight D3 but I'll work around it :) I hope you make it to APEX2 so we can play again. You need to get a Tie like Will and I :D

Georgia's Next Tournament http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=308833

The only thing disappointing about this tournament is that GA was all on one side of the bracket again. Other than that it was mad fun and I loved seeing/hanging out with everyone. I'll be at AUSOM so let's do it again :D

yep. 2-0, went D3 both games.
Okay, I added Dedede to your name.

I didn't feel that Billy really counted as GA for this tournament, seeing as how he just now moved back to Auburn. I tried to seed it well, but with people coming in at the last second, I had to completely recreate the bracket, and people were getting impatient, so I didn't spend as much time on it as I would have liked. If I had my own laptop instead of having to run in and out of the room to check on matches, it would've been better.

any vids?
I know I saved a decent amount of mine, including Winners' Finals and Grand Finals. I need to get the replays to someone who can put them on YouTube, though, because I have no means of doing that.

As for other people's videos, I couldn't tell you.

Yeah, I did. Charizard just does solidly in the matchup, and I'm really smart. Charizard was the deciding factor, for sure. He has a lot of options for dealing with most of Meta Knight's stupidity. I came back from a two-game deficit to win in Winners' Finals. I lost, 3-2, in the first set of Grand Finals, and then won, 3-1 (or 3-2, I forget). Last game, I SD'd as Charizard early on and brought it back to win on Final Destination. Very close set, for the most part.

I made some ballsy calls, too--I often tried to get something in with Ivysaur before the mandatory switch, and it paid off more often than not. Getting ~35% with Bullet Seed or KO'ing with an instant Dash Attack really did make a difference.

1: TheReflexWonder -- i'll be honest, I didn't expect you to win without switching to Wario. You are too ****ing sick at this game I don't even really understand it. Thanks for six stocking my Snake BRO. Hope to actually get some friendlies in next time. Also thanks for the bit of advice you gave.

4: DRN -- Good stuff in teams haha glad I got matched up with a good player! we were super close to getting in the money, oh well. Great job in singles too.

5: elev8 -- raf you still got it apparently. wish we coulda got to play more marvel. i hope you can make it out to some tournaments this fall.

5: Ragnarok -- ay i'm done with Snake/MK matchup. Never doing it again. lol nice job at getting fifth, you're too good.

9: Cam -- I didn't play you one on one, but you're kind of sick at this game yo. I could see you moving to top 5 on the PR this season.

9: George -- step your game up BRAH, you're supposed to get top 5 every time. I'm assuming you're hitting all or most of the tournaments coming up. we gotta get good before its over yo. thanks for the ride, good seein ya as always.

9: Ingulit -- Nice placing in the tournament. Watch out for Snake dash attack :)

13: TRACE -- Good Marth, Pit vs Marth is another matchup I'm not attempting anymore. Snake dittos on Delfino too good

17: Duchock -- Good to actually see you for a change, you make the car rides that much more entertaining. Your Ness was actually giving me trouble in teams haha

17: shaSLAM -- glad you could make it out, ya gotta calm down and be patient tho yo, you were getting too frustrated. You're MK yo just out gay your opponent all day. I hope everything works out with your girl.

25: Twinster -- it was fun riding with you. good job in the MM, i'd never tried Pit vs Falco, and I guess its harder than it seems. Falco's too good. I'll get my revenge soon enough.

ANYONE WITH SAVED MATCHES THEY WANT UPLOADED SHOULD GIVE ME A CALL AND BOTHER ME UNTIL I DO IT!

That being said, I'll do shoutouts when I'm not freaking out about losing my laptop power cord at the tournament.

I seem destined to be stuck at 13th and nothing seems able to change that. I run into Rag at the same place almost every tourny.

Shoutouts:

Reflex- I can't wait to implement some of those ideas for ASL we were formulating. It's always useful to get friendlies with you because you are always so aware of all the options for each character.

Cheap- Thanks a lot for watching the table more often than not. I'm glad you were able to beat at least one Marth at the tournament. I thought you were nuts for taking Saki to Lylat Cruise, but you have made me a believer.

Billy- Thanks for riding down with me, even if you slept the whole way there and back >.>

Ryker- We are both of the same breed. We don't like to linger in one place for a long time when there is somewhere else we want/need to go. I feel you. Getting those guys to leave for IHOP was painful. Your matches vs DRN were really close. I'll make sure you get them somehow.

Ragnarok- Close matches! I think I got lucky on the second match at Rainbow Cruise. We can do friendlies at the next tournament, and you can prove that you are significantly better than me.

DRN- I enjoyed our matches in both singles and doubles. ZSS is rare at tournaments, so I hope I get to play you again at AUSOM IV or any of the other ASL tournaments.

T1J- Those dairs have really improved your Snake game. People were commenting to me how much better you have gotten; even though I only really saw you play in doubles, I can see the difference too.

Ingulit- You're just knocking off people on your PR hit list, aren't you?

TY- Don't worry, first tournaments always go like that. Just keep playing really good players, and you will see the difference quickly.

Jeremy- Thanks for being so organized, motivated, and receptive to new ideas. If we had two more people like you, the gaming community in AL would be renowned for its professionalism and popularity.

Elev8- I need more ICs practice. You guys should come over to Auburn on some weekends and play Brawl with us.

DooDe- 13th is still good, man. You have the technical skills, now you just need to focus on reading your opponents a little better and your placement will improve in tourneys.

Shoutouts:

3) Billy: It was great to play you in friendlies before the tournament, it really helped me warm up. I'm serious about you coming to T-Town or me to Auburn, I want to practice against you sometime. Cam is spoiled :p Great job in the tournament.

7) Micaelis: Okay, okay, I did trash talk a bit much over Skype... but I'll destroy you next tournament ofc ;) Great games, and thanks for all the advice, especially for the Wario MU. I never get to play it, and what you told me about it has really changed how I will approach it (the MU that was my most feared). I hope to beat play you again soon.

7) T1J: God dammit, I think I am used to your Snake and you play Pit, and then I learn the Pit MU and you play Snake!I know you Dash Attacked a ton, and I saw it totally coming every time. I don't have any Snake experience, so while I knew it was coming, I didn't know how to punish it. Still, our games really were great, and your Snake has gotten a lot better than the last time I played it. I WILL finally beat you at AUSOM if you go though ;)

9) George: I saw that look at the beginning of the tournament ;)

13) DOODE: Sweet Jesus man, your Diddy is really, really good. You have the fundamentals down for sure, you just need to play more. I have seen very few people improve as much as you have. I hope to see you at more tournaments!

13) Ryker: We need to have a salt MM at the next tournament you're at (AUSOM); ours kept getting interrupted. From what we did play, I noticed you've gotten considerably better; I'm legit scared :x

13) Cheap: I finally got to play you in a tournament set! Our games were awesome; I've never played a good Peach before (in a tournament/on a non-laggy screen). I was worried you'd completely switched back to Melee and I wouldn't ever get to play it!

17) Ty: Congrats on 17th in your first tournament; that's DEFINITELY better than I did. You are getting much better very quickly. I talked to Spade today and he said he's interested in playing you, so play him a ton, go to more tournaments, and I'm looking forward to the day you destroy me in a tournament set :D

17) Slam: Sweet mother of Jesus our games scared the **** out of me. I haven't gotten to play your MK before, so I really didn't know what to expect. I'm sorry you got so frustrated during the matches (namely after that first early kill in game 3), since it really seemed to change how you were playing. Still, it was great to finally play you, and our matches were some of my favorite I played all tournament.

17) Saki: It was good to play you and talk and whatnot, but I have to say: Peach......... trolololololol, awesome super-secret Marth-bad-MU tech is awesome.

Reflex, Elev8, all who helped with the tournament: The tournament was awesome; thank you so much for hosting. The only thing I could think of that could be improved was the number of TVs, but even despite this the tournament was run in a very timely manner. I was really impressed.

I saved my matches too, Micaelis has my first set, and I have the set vs myself and Kismet/Cheap on my wii.

So basically if Marth didn't help me win a set I shouldn't add him? Because I only lost with him in the end against Cheap xD

For those that noticed I had a video camera at the tournament, here's a little of the video I got, unedited. It gets more entertaining after about the first 30 seconds, so be patient. I was just going around and talking to people.

Man, I look like such a fun killer at the end of this video.
