Sonic Storm, that tourney was really just me outsmarting all my opponents, not outplaying them. I planned the entire day out, spying on everyone during friendlies for their strengths and weaknesses, then picked stages I knew they would suck on. After that tourney, people figured me out and starting playing smarter against me, so I have had little success recently. I also think I have gotten worse since then due to my freshman year of college laughing at the concept of practice.
Aibou, thanks.
Shadowfire, it's been awhile. Your Falcon remains the best I have ever played. I'll see you in the finals lol.
UPDATE: Corneria was just removed from the CP stages due to the Arwings and the random lasers from the Starfox ship.
Also, a notification to all competing. I understand that the Winter Break is approaching. However, if you sign up, you are not exempt from doing your match. So if you have any travel plans that will prevent you from playing, then withdraw now because I will extend dates for no one. There will be no matches required on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day of course, but other than that, no extensions. If you are too busy to compete, then don't bother entering.
I just want full responsibility in this tourney. Please be understanding people.
No, thank you for being a great Ganon player! I mained Ganon in Melee but I just couldn't get a grip on him in Brawl. Not really because he's bad, but more because of how much he's changed. He's so much slower and sluggish than in Melee. So that being said, it's really inspiring to see strong Ganon players. I hope I play you in the tourney (I'll lose probably, MK and all )
@Neherazade: Become a Smash Apprentice by posting more and join. I don't exactly remember the post amount you need (I think it's 75 or something like that). Technically, I cannot turn you away after that.
Surely somebody here can vouch for me, despite the fact that I don't spam enough to have an arbitrary number under my post count.
Assuming I can get somebody to vouch for me, I'll post my info here. So I can get seeded at the bottom and get my butt blown out of here in the first round.

With the caveat that Sunday/Early Monday are not going to be good for me, as I'll be [preparing for/recovering from/(null)] traveling to within 20 miles of a decent cheesesteak (i.e. back home) for winter break. Optimally, I'd be back by about 12:00pm EST Monday (though I could back in buisness as fast as I can get home from Philly International and set my Wii back up, my flight arrives nearly midnight, Sunday/Monday EST, assuming no delays). After that there are no problems. I just hope the 24-36 hour absence won't be too much of an issue. If it is will be, consider my entry withdrawn.

List of byes
First, you don't have to spam your way into becoming a Smash apprentice. However, it is more indicative of activity on the boards. I easily could have over 2500 posts if not for the fact that I post in the M&G, for instance.
The greatest factor that the post count has IMHO is it shows the commitment to improve your game, at the very least. As opposed to repeatedly posting in the NNMFA asking for a match, but then never analyzing your play afterwards (viz your not taking your tapes to the Character boards and asking how to improve. If you don't have the supplies for this, ask me and I'll help you out.) I post primarily in two areas without post count and I still have about 1000. So, no spam, and no johns.
Secondly, as I am helping Aibou make the bracket, your seed would be fairly low compared to those who have entered.
Aaight. Seeing as I forgot to wrap everything in one big massive [sarcasm] tag, I'd like to nip this in the bud before anyone gets the wrong idea. (Broken point by point for coherence, not so much to nitpick).

Eh, I don't disagree, but at this point in time, it's hard to contribute anything to any board in question that I have interest in. Either everyone knows more than I do, or I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. I try to avoid "me too" posts. I only say something if I really can have something to say.
But seriously, saying spam was a joke. I just have a bad habit of lurking and observing, even if I do have something to say on a particular matter. Introvert FTL.
But riddle me this: Why the crap do you think I would have even attempted to enter a tournament that I'm sure you know that I know that I have no chance of winning?
Which isn't the above how? If it's "you need to play people IRL" I was going to join a local group at school but workload + room reservation drama put the kabosh on that.
If he was willing to put that much time into defending himself, he's worthy of being in the tourney. We normally don't trust people with low post counts because they often do not show up for their matches. He's clearly dedicated enough to be trusted.
it is just one opinion, but i also believe that neherazade can be trusted to get his matches done on time. i see him on quite often and talk to him a bit myself, i will make sure he will get them done.
(although this IS only one persons opinion, so i COMPLETELY understand if you think otherwise aibou)

He does post in the NNMFA a fair bit (142 posts, enough to be Apprentice status) and seems more active than some other failures that entered my tourney. >.>
Then it looks like Hombre and Neherazade are in. Kingdom-Triforce, I will place you on the waiting list. I've decided against having more than 16 competitors to minimize confusion. So if someone withdraws or doesn't get a match done in time, you can take their place.
Well it looks like the brackets can now be made. Kazoo, if you don't mind getting to work. Though when you're finished, I'd like to see it first via PM before it's officially posted.
So many people called me Toilet Paper that I was like sure what the hell. Nowadays, I enter IRL tournaments using random words that start with T and P. I entered one tournament as Triumphant Pony, and another as Teal Pillow. I plan to enter the next one as Ticklish Prostate, at the request of a friend.
Good to see that this tournament is getting off to a quick start. Slowness kills tournaments all the time.
Seriously. It hasn't even been a full day since I started this tourney. It definitely filled up much faster than I expected. And with more than I expected as well.
I <3 all of you for joining, and doing so quickly. Thank you all for joining!

There have been many who have said that they can't find much to capture their interest on the boards. I don't want to say "no johns" for this, but yeah, I kinda have to.
Case in point: I joined this site as soon as I knew about it, but didn't have a shred of experience in Melee or Brawl (let alone even having the games!) So, I went for the first thing that I found interesting--the debate hall. My being there is what really inspired me to be active on the boards. Find your niche (trust me, there is one), and your interest (and post count) will go up.

The point of playing any tourney is to improve your your skill. Hopefully, in the process, you win as well. The worst thing to do is to have a defeatist attitude about it...
