Shoutouts to Lemon and Sora for being awesome.

Special shoutouts to Lemon's mom for buying us Dunkin Donuts in the morning.

Thanks for hosting YCZ! It was a lot of fun, and the players at MIT really impressed me. Hope to see them come to other tournaments in the future.

More shoutouts to come later, and the videos should all be online by tomorrow evening.

Interested in videos. Characters in main post?

shoutouts to matt.zeb for sandbagging in pools and bracket ****ing me <3

edit: shoutouts to mafia for stepping up and freeze glitching the **** out of everyone

yay banks the curse is broken

really enjoyed the venue, and from what I saw it seemed like the tournament was run really well!
I'll actually stay for bracket next time lol

KoreanDJ: sorry that I left before I got to play you in pools! </3 next time for sure
Mafia: awesome seeing you again. good sandbagging during friendlies
Diesel: nice job getting first seed!
KevinM: good to see you! I'm not a quitter yet
Mr. Lemon: brinstar lol. good games, except probably the one on brinstar
Arc: nice to see you again!
Crush: hey, we definitely didn't talk at all, chat me some time, hope everything's good
HaileyM: MISS YOU ALREADY ='(
MattDotZeb: still waiting for that rematch! it'll be great
SOLAR: I think this is the first tourney I've been to without playing you =(
Foxlisk: keep up the top tier beard
XPilot: good games

Jeffrey: great to meet you! hope to see you at future tourneys =)
other MIT people: you seem cool, play melee yayyy
Marty and Ben: SO GLAD YOU CAME, hope everything was good after I left :D

oh ****tt koreandj still plays. i am excited to meet

This tournament had a great turnout and I'd be psyched to see some of the people come on back (not likely, unfortunately, for the ones Mafia FREEZE GLITCHED WHY IS THAT LEGAL YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT YCZ).

Not to discredit anybody who beat me, but I was definitely spent after pools. I just wanted to sleep, really. I got bodied, though. Good ****.

Hopefully I can bring my A-game next tournament.

Big ups to those seriously powerful smoothies from Cosi. They were some strong magic.

Other shoutouts to come!

Shoutouts to the 8 falcos in bracket btw

Mafia was using freeze glitch at this? LOL

I thought the only person in the world who knew how was kyu

Good **** ycz, reppin samus.

Good **** everyone else.

I need to play more again.

Don't forget we have Smash in the Box this Saturday in Jamaica Plain (Part of Boston)!

I'm gonna start by saying that I've never won a set in maybe 15 seconds of combined gameplay over the 2 games. The fact that I won game 2 in maybe 4 seconds is pretty rewarding to me. On the other hand, that poor kid forgot to transform at the beginning of the match and it cost him. That's just tragic; my prayers go out to him and his family that he is able to quickly and healthily reintegrate into society while coping with his psychological damage. In all seriousness, I've seen many people miss the transform at the beginning, but very few lose the game because of it. It's obvious why the freeze glitch warrants banning, and I intend to do just what I did here at every tournament I attend with it legal. Because **** you, YCZ.

I was going to say go easy on YCZ, since he has to have a samus in every single match he plays, but then that video was Power and those eyes said everything for me.

Reppin IC! (F_6)

A typical saturday in the life of kdj:

wakes up @ 5am, takes cola bath to remove rust
checks swf for local tournaments
wins local tournament with zero practice
$$$$

good stuff to all that i played, ty for all the MM's as well. Learned a lot about my weaknesses this tourney. Still have a long way to go before i can start winning some tourneys.

I used Falcon as well and GnW so those should be near my name. Shoutouts when I'm home **** work lol

Enjoy
