Goodbye Florida

[Fenrir VII]

Well, this is it. I have accepted a position with GE in South Carolina, so I will actually be leaving Florida at the end of this week.

I really just wanted to post this to thank each and every person who I've been able to Smash with or joke around with, or even coexist with. This really includes 90% of the Melee community, and some (although admittedly not as many) of the Brawl community. Some of the best moments of my life have been centered around these stupid games, and I appreciate every person who made that possible.

Huge shoutout to every member of the Name Cancelled and Cake Eaters. You know who you are, and how I felt about you.
Noob Testament, you guys were also wayyyy too chill at tourneys. truuuuu. you guys are awesome.
Melbourne, Literally some of my best Smash friends. Keep wrecking.

Then individual shoutouts to everybody below. don't have time to write something for everybody, but just know that you're awesome.

Exarch, HRNut, GDX, TonyTheTiger, Gindler, VIRG!!!, <3, Mata, X-Factor, Fearless, ColBol, Bladeofapollo, DarkSonic, Raistlin, RENTH!!!!!, QDVS, RockCrock, Phanna, Rohins, man, I haven't even scratched the surface... um, uuaa, Garbanzo, vzakat, Caio etc etc. I'm truly sorry if I forgot you on this. I'll probably add a few more later...


<3 you guys.

You will be missed, Darrel. Take it easy, and congrats.

You're not leaving smashboards though are you? Regardless, you were my smash mentor, you taught me about mindgames (since I was only tech skill before). I hope we get to meet again but if not... have an awesome life and don't forget to stay in touch.

 

[Fenrir VII]

I will have just a regular position as a turbine clearances engineer.

I'll still be on smashboards from time to time, kinda the same as I do now.. but if you need to talk to me anytime, I'm on facebook.

 

[Renth]

Much love buddy, you did a lot for me once upon a time. We'll run into each other again til that time take care

 

[SheerMadness]

Congrats on your new job. Definitely good memories involving you and everyone else in the old melee days. Good luck in South Carolina!

EDIT: Dop is leaving in the next week or so too. Sad days. =[

 

[Hai Im Fearless]

Everyones got to move on to bigger and better things at some point

good luck in the future, man!

 

[Renth]

Man I miss CE.

Ya know the good old days?

 

[exarch]

Emphasis on old.

Congrats on the job Darrel, I seem to recall it was the one you really wanted.

As Pat told me, FBGM. (Although we both know that may not be the most accurate statement, I think the attitude of it rings true.)

<3

 

[Rohins]

Much love buddy, good luck.

 

[GDX]

[HRNUT (Honey Roasted)]

[bladeofapollo]

Good luck Darrel. It's been real hanging out w/ you these few years. Remember to call us whenever you're back in Orlando!

Oh snap what a small world, in case I hadn't mentioned it I've worked at GE almost 4 years now lol. GE Corporate as a financial analyst. Funny timing too, as you are getting this job, I'm actually leaving my position August 6th since I'm going back up to Gainesville on a full UF scholarship for my 2-year MBA. Awesome news though, what are your plans for SC outside of work?

And I appreciate the shout-out and playing with you is always a rare pleasure! I'm still working on many new videos, so stay posted
