Mad fun tourney, will post shoutouts after work.

TheReflexWonder · Feb 19, 2012

I have some videos on my Wii; I'll work on uploading the videos after putting up the rest of the HASL videos (which I can do, now that I have access to a capture card!). Hopefully it all gets done by tomorrow night.

Conviction · Feb 19, 2012

Vids take like 50 mins each to upload

TheReflexWonder · Feb 19, 2012

We (as in, the ASL TOs) have a system that allow multiple people to upload a group of videos at once. Granted, perhaps I was too optimistic about it, but, it's not impossible, by any means.

Conviction · Feb 19, 2012

Oh that sounds pretty cool!

4GOD (JJV) · Feb 19, 2012

YEAH it does!

Rajam · Feb 19, 2012

Pool 5:Reflex, Arch, Player-3

Neo X · Feb 19, 2012

I had fun! Would've had a better time if I didn't get a huge headache by time for singles. ):

*Cam* · Feb 19, 2012

Good tournament. I'll do shoutouts later, and I'll leave some complaints for Player-1 regarding how the tournament was run because he always does that to us

Player-1 · Feb 19, 2012

the thing is though....i don't really give a ****.

7. Scatz

Lol, this is what my mind saw.

Just curious, why was there such a large pool cutoff since there were only 27 entrants? I've never seen the T.O. (or whoever does it lol) make the bracket, does it make it easier to make or something?

Good **** Esam for taking the gold btw ^_^.

TheReflexWonder · Feb 19, 2012

Wanted an even bracket, presumably. 3 out of 5 from each bracket isn't weird.

Oh ok, so where are the cutoff points for the bracket. For example, I've always seen 32-man brackets; did he cut them down to make a 16-man bracket instead?

LanceStern · Feb 19, 2012

Please tell me you got Reflex vs Esam on video. PT vs Pikachu please!

Yes and yes, in that order.

B_AWAL · Feb 20, 2012

So you got vids of Reflex vs Esam? Or PT vs Pika? Or Pika vs PT & Reflex vs Esam?

& Reflex wheres that thread where they ask you questions?

aml529 · Feb 20, 2012

That tournament was a lot of fun. Playing against Esam and Reflex in pools and bracket, respectively, taught me that I do quite a few unsafe moves when I aim to "space" instead. I need to work on that. Also, I learned that I have a LOT of work to do against Wario and Pikachu. My two pools losses were to wario and pikachu, aaaaaaaaaand my two bracket losses were to wario and pikachu lol.

All of those are correct. There's also Wario against Pikachu, which also happens to be Reflex vs. ESAM.

As for the interview, Zigsta said he would get in touch with me a week or so after the voting ended, but I haven't heard from him since.

Gadiel_VaStar · Feb 20, 2012

This tournament was a lot of fun. GA/AL has so many good players, this region is definitely up there and underrated as seen by Apex results. I think this tournament makes the GA PR seem skewed because Scatt, Neo-X, and Scatz are great players, and Big Lou is already a top GA player and he isn't even on the new PR. Iblis is good too, and I'm sure I'm missing other GA players that have the skill to make it. I think there should be honorable mentions in the next PR because the skill in GA is improving.

I don't even feel the need to send shout outs. Shoutouts seem to be for everyone except the person I'm shouting out too. I love playing everyone, talking, and meeting all of you.

My pool
Player-2--your Pit has potential man, if you just get a little more motivation to play and practice, you can be really good. You already make pretty good decisions.
Sharkz--good games man, I think you played pretty good for your first tournament. Keep at it man.
Iblis--good games, you capitalized on a lot of my mistakes. Good job making it into bracket
Scatt--great games, I got lucky at the end, but I'll be ready for you next time! Your Snake/Oli are great.
4God--good games, your an awesome person bro, my hands started to cramp while we were playing. I think it's because of that chaingrab, lol I was trying to mash up-b as fast as I could. You still took me out fair and square.

I loved playing friendlies w/ everyone and playing Reflex taught me that I don't really know how to play this game, lol.

Thanks man your pit is going to be really good if you keep it up.

@Italics: Most of the time we don't show up enough to be on the PR, honorable mentions are cool but I don't want to be ranked if I don't show enough, I won't show any consistency, if I don't even show up.

And yeah GA/AL is good we just got haters lol

Zatchiel · Feb 21, 2012

Is Sakika in GA or outstate?

I had fun, even though I came a bit late for tourney admission. It was gret seeing you all again, too. :applejack:

Player-1 · Feb 21, 2012

GA I'm pretty sure, she came with scatt, neo x, and link queen.
