this whole weekend has just been too much. I've lost friends. I've lost respect. I've lost I game that believe it or not I love to play. I've lost my family's trust. I 've lost alot.

but in all of this I think I will gain my life back.

the threats that were made were empty. no one's life was ever in danger. I was very angry...

Every time I have an outburst after losing someone comes online and says "oh that lunatic" or "that ******* black dude" and I wanted to stirke fear in them just so that maybe they'll think about their actions just as much as they want me to think about mine.

that's all it was. as far as all of the other remarks....

I don't agree with all of them, but I can't control what anyone says.

i realize that now.

I'm looking to just pay for the damages and walk away from this game and let everyone "feel at peace"

as much as I would've like to improve I realize now I never would have cuz people constantly sandbag me.

I don't want the community to die. I just wanted to feel like my efforts didn't go unnoticed.

and it seemed like it did.

I feel i'm a reflection of how ugly the community started to become.

I felt it was getting to a point that you weren't really respected unless your name was on the top 10 list. people out of state wont give you a real fight unless that's the case.

It sucks to go out on such a bad note but it can't be helped now...

I guess when brawl comes out, I will have to play it locally or maybe just play it by myself.

it wouldnt be the first time I played a game by myself.

my entire smash career will only be remembered by this which really makes me sad.

none of the jokes cracked over the years will matter. only all of the things thrown or broken will be remembered.

final shoutouts

Wes - for even putting up with me in the crew as long as you did. thanks for showing me a higher level of smash play way back in 02 by coming to my house and 9 stocking me repeatedly. thanks for the oppurtunity to be part of such a cool crew. it's over now and i hae no complaints about it. I deserved it years ago.


D1 - for the encouraging words even at my lowest points in life. you will always hold a special place in my mind and heart.


the rest of DA - not holding my past against me through everything. I just don't want people to think you guys are like me. I am not representative of the strength in so many areas that members in DA posess. In and out of the game.

Alex - for tkaing the time to hear me out without letting what happened ovveride u listening to me.

triforce - trying to coach me in close matches in the past. thanks for all of the great stories. I wish I could still be down but I know what I did will not allow that.


Dave - for showing me how careful I need to be around two-faced people such as yourself. You never had respect for me but continually smiled in my face and portrayed that we were the closest friends ever. not the case... u sir are an a$$hole and deserved the instant karma you've received over the years. I thank you for opening my eyes to the bull$hit present around me.


I cannot shake this heavy weight of shame that's upon me at this moment. somehow my family found out about this situation and the shame runs even deeper than it did b4....


just remember me for the things I brought to this great community.

IC glitch

DA Dash

handicap glitch

exceptional pikachu player

marth up+b cancel





and I wonder why more falco and fox players don't charge down smash near a down smashing peach. if you think i'm crazy try it with a friend first and see what happens...



anyways i'm already done in the community

let the good be remembered seeing that i'm gone anyway...

I am remembering Ron for only the things he asked for you should all do the same if you have any respect for a smasher that even if he did stupid stuff was still a smasher in a community of a cr@p load of people, so just remember him as a smasher and the good things he did remembering someone for the bad things causes more drama later on. Ron you will be missed. Also I am gonna try to get to this one.

I'll talk to my brother about it tonight. He probably has school the next day, so I don't know. It is before my summer classes start though, so there's a chance that I could come.. :)

Ron. As always no matter how upset or how much you've elevated your anger towards losing competative matches, I still respect you and consider you one of the best people I've fought agianst and that's the truth. But you do know that your actions have dictated negative outputs on not only the community but within NYClan and even DA. Ron. We love ya and you know that, or atleast I do. You've too much to lose to throw away your life over an upset lost when you know for sure that If you set your mind and heart to it, you can do it. Don't let anyone tell you different because it doesn't matter and they don't matter. You know how good you are so you shouldn't have anything to prove to no one but yourself. Play for the challenge, for the fight and the will to improve " NOT TO TRY AND GAIN RESPECT FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T RESPECT YOU". Ease up bro, you'll improve on your own and gain respect without even asking for it. It will just come to you. ;)

If the loser counter-picks stage, what happens with the characters? Is it double-blind, or are both players forced to keep their character from game 1?

I know....

tournament is on saturday now....
Housing on Saturday would still keep me from being awake from 7 am to 5 am the next day and trying to drive after 2 am.... Also, I still need to know how to get to this place from grand central. Change of date doesn't change where i'm coming from.. :p :lick:

Someone clarify the counterpicking rules. It doesn't say anything about the winner of the previous round being able to change his/her character after the loser counterpicks stage. Wes told me at the last Gauntlet that the winner had to stick with the character they were using, but just so everyone else knows...
