Mass Madness 14 Tournament Results 2/28/09 Framingham MA

Yes, KoreanDJ DID tell us our Peaches were gay =3

I'll go indepth tomorrow but 1 note: in our matches against Team Falcon, we lost match 1. I SD'd my first stock of match 2. I wanted to win so bad, I nado SPAMed like a bitch. We won easy,

One more note: KDJ sandbagged the *bleep* out of everyone. He played random in match 3 of singles finals.

He got Bowser.

He won.

Checkmate, go play KDJ then talk

Nah, KDJ has always mained MK in Brawl. He plays Sheik in Melee.

Guess It's time for my Synopsis.

1:30pm: So, I'm heading out for what I think is going to be 2 hours of driving, but find out it's only going to be 1. I party, because I now know I'll make it in time for singles.

2:55pm: I arrive at the tournament, and see Kevin finishing off some ROB in Dittos. At this point, I'm pretty sure we at least got doubles in the bag.

A few minutes later, we go off and play some doubles friendlies against some Lucario and... I honestly don't remember what the other kid was playing. We had our way with them, tbh.

After that, Hannie showed up. At about this time, we find out that KoreanDJ was here. All of a sudden, my dreams of pocketing $50 are crushed.

Around 4pm, the singles brackets are finally posted. I nearly break into tears upon viewing them. While there were about 20 or so kids under 12, and a shitload of other scrubs present, I'm placed in a Bracket with Nito first. If I win, I play KDJ. If I lose, I play Mardo, who's only in losers because KDJ beat him.

I play Nito, and I know he's a lucas main. First match, I go Metaknight. We're playing really even through the first stock and a half. Then, I suicide my last 2 stocks, and bam, I'm down 1-0.

Second match against Nito, the pressure was heavy. It was Peach Lucas on FD. This match was amazing. He took my first stock, but I was able to mount a serious comeback and get him to a point where I think he was at 40-60% on his last stock by the time I started mine.

Now, about halfway through the 2nd stock, I realize KDJ is standing behind me screaming SF4 memes and the such. This just seem to add to the already heavy mental fatigue I had going. A bunch of crazy shit happened in this match, and Nito game me props for a couple of my kills. However, I think the fact that everyone was rooting against me got to me, as I let him make the final comeback and take the game and set. This was a 5 mintue match, and because we were on Kevin's Wii, I saved the replay (please get this match on youtube btw). This started a conversation between Me, Nito, and KDJ about how to get the timer off replays with Homebrew.

Now, for my Loser's Bracket match, I was matched against Mardo. I really don't have much to say about these matches. He pretty much sandbagged me but the "lose-and-you're-out" pressure was really *bleep*ing with my head. I should have beat this kid, but I lost. And, just like that, my Singles Experience was over.

While I was waiting for Singles to finish up, I decided to relax and play some friendlies so as not to get too Rusty. The first Kid I played was TARM. I'm pretty sure his Lucario placed Top10 in singles. He was such a scrub, I 2 stocked him with ease. I just played it off by saying "I have a lot of Lucario exp."

After I thoroughly raped TARM, his doubles partner wanted to play me. He played Falco. Apparently, this kid thought he was hot shti or something. I went Metaknight and 2 stocked him too. Knowing they were going to be considered one of the better teams, I left those matches knowing we could make it to Finals of Doubles with a little luck.

After that, I played SEN's link. He placed Top10 as well, as far as I know. He was eliminated by Nito(who was sent to losers 2nd round by KDJ). I had already played MK and Peach in friendlies, so I figured I go Ness. I won that match too.

I tried to play a friendly against Pat's(i think) CF, but the Wii reset 3 secs into our match. I was using Ness for that match too.

That was all for friendlies, and I watched singles finish up and then got ready for doubles.

We got a bye first round so we watched Hannie's team play a 9 year old girl and her brother, in front of their mom. That was brutal lol.

Then, we were matched up with Team Manly (Hannie and I think his name was Jose). First match, I kept suiciding. We lost. Now, they thought the set was done, and we actually had to get the TO to tell them it was best of 3. Second match. I kept SDing again. On top of that, my MK was pretty much getting wrecked by Hannie's. I was very mad at myself when I saw Kevin was left in a 2 on 1. I knew I *bleep*ed up bad and ruined his chances to win. But then something amazing happened, as Kevin was able to get Hannie's Mk out fast. He was at 100% and the G&W he was playing was at like 70 i think, but I knew he had it. He won that match, and I confessed my love for him. Third match, I knew things would be different. I couldn't let Kevin down after his epic 2-on-1 win. I pretty much beat Hannie's MK this time around, and we cruised to the easy win I knew we were capable of if I didn't SD.

Next set was a blast. They played double Ness first and we raped them. It was a huge confidence boost, as I finally got to prey on the scrubs I knew were at this tourney. They then went Pit Ness and got *bleep*ed up again.

Now, the last set was a Double Falco team. These kids were hilarious, and the 4 of us basically went through every line of the funny brawl vids during the matches. First match, I SD'd a couple times and we lost (predictable). Second match, I SD'd my first life. I knew I had to change something or we'd lose. I wanted to win so bad, I started playing a really ghey MK. I'm pretty sure even though I SD'd my first stock when they were at 20%, They both hit their last stocks before I did. They had no answer for Tornado.

Now, at this point, one of them should have picked MK to match my tornados, but they didn't. I continued playing gay and we beat them easily.

As for our matches with KDJ and Nito, the vids say it all tbh. I had a blast those matches, and both KDJ and Nito are really cool guys. It would have been nice to take a game, but thats what happens when you play a pro.

After the matches, KDJ looked at us and said "Damn! You Guys play some really Gay Peaches!" We just laughed and said we knew.

Ether really was able to make a name for himself there. I, on the other hand, need to get over my nerves in singles. Still I met some really cool brawlers, and was able to play the best in the State. It was a great time, and I really hope they do a S.T.A.N.D. Up and Brawl 2 sometime soon.

Yeah, I saw that Fatal, Green Ace, and Peach Kid were all there, and somehow KDJ showed up here.

*bleep*.

Our Peach + MK team is actually quite good. We're hard to beat if I don't SD.

It takes mad proz like KDJ to do it.

lmao i remember that replay.

Yeah it was FD. It will probably be less epic without KDJ screaming "The weak lose and the strong win... Which of these fighters will prove the old axiom today?"

He stopped sandbagging.

Seriously, after that match he got up out of his chair and fist pumped. He was liek sweating. It was the first tiem all tourney he didn't sandbag.

edit:

My game<3



Yes, I know i choked -_-

Another thing that prob messed him up was he didn't expect much from me. I think he had just 2 stocked my Mk after I suicided back to back stocks, so when i did some of the more impressive things I did, like dair-->floating peach bomber, it took him by surprise.

He came out strong and then did something stupid and i edgehogged. Then i was able to mount a comeback and raped hi mwhile his guard was down. But when i came back for my last stock i couldn't keep the match going in my favor.

I played poorly for most of the day, so i was disapointed in that sense.

But I left the tourney with a solid understanding of what areas of my game need to be improved the most, so now it's just up to me to apply myself to fixing them, so I'm happy in that sense.

Matt was the toureny organizer you nub.
