This tourney was really fun, and the rule set really spiced things up. This was a good environment to test something out like that. For the record, there were no fox players in top 3, so it doesn't make that big a difference apparently.
Sam - Thanks again for running these things, its awesome to have local tournaments. I never had these back in the day, so it's nice to have them now. I can't believe I went yoshi.
Frootloop - Still beasting with falco, that's good to see. I'm surprised you didn't use him in teams (at least when we played)
ORLY - This game just wouldn't be the same without falco, falcon would be imba! Srsly though, you're surprisingly good at random stages with falcon.
Oro - Your fox is really good, definitely a lot different than WI foxes. I need to learn how to play vs that style next weekend, we should play a bunch of friendlies.
Sanchaz - You should play fox. Your recording quality turned out really well, I'm looking forward to some vids!
Zicore - It was awesome to see you again after a bunch of years! Steve jobs got nothing on you, although he far outshined your char in awesomeness. Are you still interested in going to SMYM?
Peaches_ - You should play this game again, its good. Either that, or at least stop playing Quest 64 for god sakes. This game is like the sacred, game... .. ....
.... of lore
JUICE - It was cool to meet you. Sorry about the no show on SF4, we'll have it next time. We should play games next time I'm up there.
Hunger - N64 multiplayer master. I would run an MK64 tourney in April if you guys show up again. I'd be a lot more hype for that than MKDD.
XTRA - It was awesome seeing you again too! Have you been playing? You seem to have gotten a lot better. We should have an old school smashfest / tourney one of these days! I'll try to get sauce / fast2 involved.
MonkUnit + StandardToaster - You guys are the best! I'm rarely out tved, but you guys destoyed me this weekend. It was awesome to see you running a stream too. I think this should be more standard, and I wouldn't mind doing one if you all aren't around.
Rev6 - Giant melee is just too big for me. Ganon is heavier than bowser!
Cactuar - The ruleset was really fun, and it was kind of nostalgic to play on a lot of the stages like the old days.
I think the rule set is probably better suited for teams, just because a big mistake / suicide doesn't automatically cost you the whole match (but basically still does, just like normal). I also found it a lot more interesting in teams since you can use teamwork to overcome janky stages in a lot of cases. In corneria for example, you can have one guy run in to the fin side if you're down in %, and the other one gets their back so you can't necessarily just punish your opponent for free, etc, whereas in singles, the % leader just has huge advantages all the time. Obv that's why the stages were all banned in the first place.
I might also be saying that just because I tend to have a lot more fun in teams, and take singles more seriously, but idk. Either way the ruleset is something really fun for smaller tourneys, but definitely not ready to be taken to a regional level. The two best players did win and runner-up both the singles and special mode tourneys though.
Hope to see you all at the next one in April! We still got a lot of gems left, including pancake stamina, and teams special.
Sorry! Also, your SNES collection is quite impressive. ****. Yes. Rock N' Roll Racing.
