Recap from tournament last weekend:
Went to a tournament in Richmond, Kentucky to see some old friends and to see if I had gotten any better. Despite not playing for two weeks, I wasn't rusty technical wise, but I let a lot of things that shouldn't happen happen. And my edge guarding was subpar (still a Sheik main)
I opted out of entering Project: M for monetary reasons, but I played a few friendlies. It was alright. However, I can recap my Melee experience.
Pools:
Round 1: Versus Mook (Falcon/Falco)
This guy wasn't bad at all. Did a lot of good things. But he opened himself up to being grabbed a lot. Beat me first round (fluke on my part) and I beat him on his second. Frustrated, he switched to Falco and counterpicked Pokemon's. It was his demise though, as I Bair-d him for game. Didn't shake my hand, just unplugged his controller and left. (2-1)
Round 2: Versus some other guy (Falcon/Ganon)
Just a worse version of the other guy. Let me grab him for days. Got salty and switched to Ganon. So I grabbed him more. Not much to say here. (2-0)
Round 3: Versus Amida (Jigglypuff/Kirby)
Amida is the local Puff player who knows what he's doing. I have no idea how to play Puff, and got bodied for it. He switched to Kirby and I didn't feel like playing too seriously (rest up my nerves a bit) and he beat me there. (0-2)
After Pools: 2nd in Pool and 2-1
Round 1: Versus Yosh (Falcon)
Played enough Falcons yet? Lol. This guy wasn't as good as Mook, but was close. I didn't grab him as much but worked on combing with up tilt. (2-0)
Round 2: Versus LuigigoShard (Luigi)
This guy is one of the better Louisville players, and probably one of the best Luigis in the Midwest (not much of a statement though :lol
. I had no idea what I was doing against Weegee and he had more than plenty Sheik practice. (0-2) Off to losers.
Round 3: Versus Overtone (Puff)
Not a very solid Puff player. One of those panic resters. Didn't take much thought to beat him, so I don't remember the match well. (2-0)
Round 4: Versus KellyK (Sheik)
Ah, the beloved Sheik ditto. I was all for not Chain Grabbing, but he was doing them in Friendlies against me earlier, so I was just gonna go with it. He did a lot of CC Down Smash, and I didn't adapt well. We went to Yoshi's game 1 (my mistake) and then Game 2 I took him to Dream Land. I was losing, but got the Chain Grab from 20%-Death, so I ended up winning it.
Game 3 was a tight one. We went to Pokemon and I was up quite a bit. I just took his 2nd stock and I had 3 with 50%. Got a little over confident and paid for it. He did a quick grab into grab into grab. Got out of it, but he managed to control me until he took the stock. Tied at 0%. I was winning the percentage battle (he was in Fair kill % while I was about 20% or so out of it) but Pokemon did a transformation into the rock one and he got a lucky up air and KO'd me off the top. Kind of a bummer. I ended up losing while he had about 60% and 1 stock, but I feel I was overall a better player. 1-2
Overall I went 4-3, which is a little under what I wanted, but I'm still okay with where I placed. I should beat KellyK next time we play and then hopefully I'll get even higher. Fun experience overall though.

Of course not! Got too much money to blow on one game, but not a bad person.
Are you guys interested in the MioM Fantasy league?

I asked someone once about Fantasy Football but I didn't understand it
Could you explain it with Pro Smashers

Yeah, but what if I was rather misleading in how I presented myself, I basically just hustled someone for the first time with serious money on the line... well, kind of serious money on the line.
I mean, the way I described myself was something along the lines of: "Hey, I bet I could beat you, I can beat all of my friends online!" It feels somewhat *******-ish now, in hindsight, since that really downplays what I have done... Or would it have been worse to actually try and represent myself as being an excellent player, like I kind of am... despite everyone's opinion of me... I still have problems with the 'hurting people's feelings with condescension' vs honesty debate.

Money and poorly documented esports? Certainly nothing can go wrong.

I was bein' sarcastic lol. Obviously that's a dick move, and I can only imagine that casual is now an antagonist'a yours. All is fair in love and gambling, 'ceptcheatingifyourecaught, but fair play isn't inherently Respect Play.
... But deceiving a casual really is unforgivable. When I was a Yugihoe hustler, I wasn't makin' like a Rare Hunter and swindlin' children or casuals. Only to assholes who've done the very same to someone from my trade circle. Swindlin' a casual is morally the same as stealin' from an idiot (also just as easy).
lol
