Fun tournament xD good games everyone!

Great tourney all. I promise to come better prepared next time lol.

SO MANY FALCOS. I gotta work on that MU.

Btw, AmKho, 3Z also played as Wolf.

Redd = 2nd place! We're such generous riders in carpools, giving Sypher the $0.70 part of the change with change, giving him $0.06 extra
CT Zero = You seemed pretty good at Melee. Wish I money matched you or even met you in bracket
Sypher = Butts. And ty for carpooling
Smash God = I want to money match you
EPsilon = Why are you bad at video games forever?
Bubbaking = The thing I like about Samus is that she isn't fast. I can legitimatel half decently play Zelda vs you
Sunshine! = Good set. Your Marth might have a few tricks
JU4N = No money match? Broken tradition


I'm thinking of dropping the idea of livestreaming. I'm not the type of person to want to have to coordinate players to the main stage or even commentate to talk to the microphone. All I do on youtube is funny random moments of me playing video games

So this dude Zero is pretty good at smash huh?

yea his fox is pretty gay in melee lol

also lmfao @ top characters in melee. falco and like 5 foxes x_x

man, i shoulda went to this

good **** cyrain

Keep working on it, Naridax!

Nice meeting you and Zero. Your cool as hell and Zero is just goffy xD. Your falco is way to good, and Zero's Mk is just wtf.. xD. Next time we play I hope to put up a better challenge. Good games.

had fun. nice meeting you guys.

shoutouts when im not lazy.

Awesome tourney! Had a ton of fun.

Shoutouts:
Amhokar--Awesome tournament, great job helping to build up the VA region! Looking forward to more.
Hot $--Fun matches, especially our rounds of PM. Can't believe that one dude drove all the way from Chile.
SmashGOD--As with last time, great luigi dittos (even though it was P:M). Next time we gotta squeeze some more in.
GHNeko--Good seeing you again man, looking forward to playing more often.
Redd--nice meeting you man, you were cool as ****. Thanks for the team friendlies with me and Tems, we had a blast.
Sypherphoenix-- Thanks a ton for the advice on my luigi. Watching the videos afterwards helped me see some of the things you were talking about. Next time I'll play more puff with you
Bubbaking--Fun P:M friendlies, shame we didn't get any Melee in! You're chill as ****.
Napoleonski-- You have some damn good fundamentals--way better than mine--so definitely keep it up. GGs!
KORN-- I've never been schooled so hard in my goddamn life than that 4-stock you pulled on my luigi. Thanks for the education!
Cyrain-- Thanks for the advice. Hoping to see you at some more SOVA smashfests.
Sunshine-- Those were some of the most fun games I played all day. If you see this, send me a PM with your phone and I'll hit you up. I'm in norfolk most weekends, so we gotta play more. With less of you falconsuiciding.
Xzax-- cool chatting with you outside! keep up the good play.
Arcadia-- Fun friendlies at the end! Hit up my pal Tems in RVA and he and i will try to come to some smashfests out that way.
DSerb-- Had a lot of fun with your marth man, those were some sweet dittos.
Epsilon-- Like I told you, I love your youtube channel. I know it's a pain in the *** to stream, but I sincerely wanted to thank you for taking the trouble to set it up. Being able to watch myself play was enormously helpful to me, so don't think you're going unappreciated. Looking forward to seeing you more often, and I want to get some friendlies in with you soon too

I'm sure I'm missing some people, but that should cover it for now. Some cool people all around!

EDIT: This is Papapaint/Jason, btw

Hey, I'm collecting data for the PM Tournament Results Archive. Is there a bracket image for the PM tournament?

No Milkman shoutouts???
Shoutouts to Milkman for beating the great CHILLINDUDE829

Chillin 4th? Bracket plzzzzzzzz

http://www.twitch.tv/EPsilon933

If anyone wants to see the videos. There are so many friendlies and almost no way to tell what's tournament set and what isn't. I don't think any set of finals or even semi finals was played on the main setup. Twitch auto deletes unsaved videos after a few days

Haha, thanks man I wish I still play melee though.

Fun friendlies man.

Brackets uploaded...shoutouts eventually ^_^

Shout-outs:
Xzax- It was really fun getting to know you and how you progressed in your Brawl career. You really helped me form a more solid mindset while playing Brawl. It was really fun playing with you even though we did so many Falco dittos =p I feel way more confident in my game now. I’ll definitely meet up with you in a tourney sometime this year ^_^
Zero- I’ve been thinking for a long while and I’ve found that the best way to describe you is an odd teddy bear. There’s really nothing more to it. It was nice to talk to you a bit and play tons of friendlies. I’ve got a strong drive to get better at Brawl and I know I’ll progress a lot by the time I see you again.
Bubbaking- It was really nice getting to know you on the ride over and playing with you the night before the tourney. I hope we can play again in the near future and good luck with all of your endeavours—I know you’ll get to where you have your mind set in everything.
Napolesky – You’re not Napdesky =p Thanks for coming out, it was cool to meet you.
KORN- TP too stronk, Okami B tier =p Thanks for coming out again, I always enjoy hanging out w/ you and watching you play! We need to get some friendlies in next time, I’ve gotten a lot better since last month!
SmashGOD- I’m glad you could make it to this one. It was a really great experience playing you again to see how far I’ve come. You played me when I was just starting into competitive Smash and you played me after I reached a personal milestone in my Brawl game =D Great set and lets practice more!
Sypher- Thanks for all the help with the Melee seeding and brackets. I can tell you put a ton of effort into making tournaments as good as possible for players and I have a lot of respect for that. Also super thanks for carpooling people over and taking Bubbaking home, it saved me a ton of time. I’m looking forward to meeting you again ^_^
Epsilon- Thanks for streaming Melee, it was nice talking to you for a bit. Teach me how to stream so I can get Brawl and PM on it next time =D
GHNeko- I’m glad I got a chance to talk to you a bit even though it wasn’t much. I can tell you’re a really nice guy and I hope to see you at the next ECEs!
Pappapaint- It was nice to meet another W&M player =D Thanks for bringing Jamie and it was extremely generous of you to help River get more tourney matches in.
RiverTems- I’m glad you came back out. You’re like a very nice guy and your Melee is pretty fun to watch ^_^. Tell Ahmed I said hi and be sure to let him know how hype this tourney was =p
Iota- Fun set in tourney and thanks for the friendlies =D I can tell you’re extremely dedicated to the game and I look forward to you improving your already very solid Brawl skill!
Serge- Thanks for coming out to this one. You and Korn have been to all of the tourneys I’ve hosted and in all honesty, I doubt I could have maintained the drive to organize without you guys. You guys have been a big factor in the progression of this whole thing and I hope to keep seeing you at the monthlies! Great friendlies at the tourney and I definitely wanna play with you a lot more so I can work on not getting gimped by those MK chains =p.
Eon- It was nice playing you in tourney again and thanks for all the friendlies.
Zion- Great friendlies, I feel like I learned a lot about my weaker matchups from playing with you. Thanks for all the advice on my bad tendencies vs Marth, It’s really gonna help me cover some of the holes in my gameplay
(D)Serb- Your name didn’t have a D last time, so I’m gonna call you Serb =p I appreciate you coming out and supporting the CenVA community. You keep thanking me for putting work into helping the community grow, but you’re doing just as much by showing up and spreading the word ^_^ It was great seeing you again and I look forward to seeing you improve over the next monthlies =D
3Z- Thanks for coming out to the tournament. I see a lot of potential in your gameplay and I’m confident that if you work on solidifying your knowledge of matchups and your characters that you’ll improve a lot =D Good set in tourney and I hope we can get some friendlies in next time =D
Naridax- I see you all the time and we Brawl all the time, but this tourney definitely shifted the mechanics of our gameplay. I feel like we will improve exponentially if we keep piggybacking off one another’s improvements and really secure our gameplay ^_^
Chillin- Smash has been a huge part of my life since I was very young, but I barely got a taste of competitive smash at the time. I used to spend hours on end trying to emulate your melee play and I spent so much time watching your doubles sets w/ Azen and seeing you take on players like Ken and PC Chris. That’s why it’s so disappointing to me that you chose to split. Regardless of whether or not I voiced my opposition to splitting to you(which I know I did) and regardless of the fact that I didn’t include “No splitting” in the tourney post, I expected you to adhere to a higher standard. It’s common sense to know that splitting is unacceptable in any tournament setting, and despite the fact that it’s somewhat accepted in the Smash community, it’s wrong.
Cyrain- You're extremely talented at PM and Melee and it was a joy seeing such solid play at the tourney. Just as with Chillin, I'm very disappointed with you about the split. It really is disrepectful to the CenVA scene and the ECE events as well as to myself. I put alot of hard work into providing a place where players can improve with the variety of skill and characters played as well as a place for smashers with common interests to hangout and have some fun, and splitting really undermines that.

To Cyrain, Chillin and anyone else involved: Splitting is unacceptable. You may not think it’s a big deal / care, but it hurts the smash communities, especially the newer, more fragile ones and I expect everyone, whether or not you agree with me, to hold to a higher standard.
I’m not going to tell you guys you can’t come to the future events, but if you’re 100% motivated by profit gain to the point of resorting to a split, I ask you to refrain from attending future ECE events.

are you complaining about splitting at a 17 man tournament?? -.-

I don't particularly like splitting, but so long as they played it out in a reasonable manner I think it's OK at a smaller event, especially if the two players came together and were the most skilled.

Regardless, I don't think the players should make it obvious that they're going to split, but I have no idea how they carried it out. Just my two cents =D

I understand that people have varying opinions on splitting, but I certainly won't allow it at events I coordinate. I'm not here to argue with you guys about whether or not it's right or wrong, but there's a reason it's banned from larger scale tournament settings like any notable sports, LoL, and Starcraft. I believe it's wrong and I won't have it at events I host.

I can do it any time when I return to college. Want me to show you over Skype? Was that other set up we tried to stream your laptop? It's not at all powerful enough to stream anything. Anything newer like a dual core processor is good enough

Being a scrub that doesn't watch people play anymore unless it's close Smash friends and I happen to be right there when it happens, I don't mind it. They played their way into the top spots. Let them casually give up where they want to. I disagree that there's this obligation to play things out to entertain others. People paid their entry fee to compete and possibly win. The other players happened to not win. I know there's also venue fee and traveling as another cost. People want to get what they think they're paying for and they think they want accurate results and a show. There are a lot of other things in a local tournament. I just have this dumb philosophy of not liking to ask of others to do things and letting them do what they want

Skype sounds good. That was actually Naridax's computer, but mine is equally, if not more, outdated ATM. I sold my Primary computer recently and will be buying a capable comp soon ^_^

Remind me when you get it. I'll teach it to you then

Thanks for hosting the tourney, the ride, and housing Matt and I Ammad!

Shoutouts to everyone, gg's and stuff, and alsoooooooooo, I'm too Brawl 'ified' to play Melee again ;_; you guys got too good, it's sooo different from my 07 metagame </3

It was great to play all of you guys, especially Chillin in Bracket, nice to finally play some of the legends in Melee

Brawl singles results was as I expected.. lol.

I didn't play much friendlies yesterday for some reason lol.. I was playing with Naridax most of the time lol.

Yeah....note to self: NEVER warm up for Brawl by playing Melee ever again...-_-

GG's to everyone! I had a lot of fun playing everyone especially with so much talent in one place. I'll do my best with the shoutouts, but I only remember the names of those who I played in bracket and lots of friendlies with.

AmKhokar - Thanks for hosting the tournament! I appreciate how well everything was scheduled and ran in a timely manner. I'm sorry that you aren't happy with the end result with the splitting and all, but from what I saw, they didn't give the impression that they weren't trying. I watched most of the doubles GF's and they weren't messing around.
Cyrain - Even though you went all Falco, you had some really entertaining sets both in singles and doubles. Too good!
Redd - Fox too good. I've been working a lot on my Fox matchup, and I realize now that I gotta stay consistent on every stock. If we ever play again in bracket, you best watch out cause this scrub is gonna keep working hard!
Milkman - Cory-senpai! Thanks for driving! This tournament was so kawaii, wouldn't you agree? desu desu. Also, good ****ing **** vs chillin.
Smash God - Even though we only played a few friendlies, I loved getting to see how scary an efficient Luigi can be. He's definitely a character not to underestimate.
EPsilon - Thanks for providing the stream!
Perry - Hi Perry!!!! I won't forget any time soon how close we got in that first doubles match. If I didn't throw away those first couple stocks, we would've won that match. Until next time though!
Bubbaking - Samus in teams is way too OP
JU4N - That god damn Falco! I really need to work on that matchup. Things will be different next time!
Napolesky - Your marth has a lot of potential! Keep applying hard work, study videos, and find some people to play against regularly. You'll be surprised by how much improvement you see
Papapaint - I love how fluent your weegee is. Playing vs a marth can be difficult, but it can be done. Also, do you know if Tems is on Smashboards? I can link him to the main RVA smash group on Facebook. Milkman and I play just about every week so having someone else there to play with would be great.

Pretty much the same view on splitting as KrazyKnux... As long as the set is played out properly I don't really mind splitting. The incident at the last ROM is the type of splitting I hate i.e. sandbaggy/non hype GFs. I don't really care what the players do with their money as long as they play the set out seriously, but this is just my personal opinion.

Anyways shoutouts to nobody.

Oh yeah but thanks AmKhokar for hosting. Hopefully this will eventually become a really popular tournament series.

Well, shout-outs to everyone who came, so that us Charlottesvillians can get better.
I know it's kinda far.
