Was an amazing tournament and experience.

I'd like to say awesome matches to everyone in my pools and bracket.

The Japanese were really cool, friendly and amazing at smash.

Zero is super legit and took my money, despite my efforts, good stuff.

West Coast you guys are all really chill, I wish I spent more time with you guys, maybe when I go visit sometime.

I placed 25th/400 and when I first got taken out I was very disappointed, but upon reflection I'm proud of that placing. The bracket was filled with 64 of the best players in the world. To earn my place as a part of that feels like a privilege.

I had the most Olimar filled bracket than anyone could ever have.

Pools round 1 = Fino:  Awesome matches, you're a great guy and it was really chill talking afterwards!

Pools round 2 = Brood: I got second seed only to Brood, all matches were extremely close.

Winners round 1 = My FRIEND Rich Brown: Honestly I don't think I should have gone Diddy at all, I kinda psyched myself out haha. It was great meeting you even if it had to be in bracket! I really wanted to talk to you more though at the moment I took the loss kinda hard. You're an amazing player overall and congrats on beating M2K!

Losers round 3 = Logic: I can tell how intense we both felt going into the set, this is the first time I've ever won against you and for that I feel accomplished. Good set.

Losers round 4: Dabuz: Ughh Game 3 so close! I really lost my morale game 3 and I did feel like I am starting to understand Olimar very well and being less scared of him. The whistle is still bull****! Good matches.

Top 8 for every game was so hype to watch, I'd like to thank the long island crew for housing and driving me <3

Honestly I don't think MK should be banned especially after what happened at apex. IMO Americans are just lazy and scared. Player skill obviously takes precedence over character by far, as OCEAN, OTORI, NIETONO, ESAM and others clearly demonstrated.

I'm going to miss the MK ditto as much as I hate playing it. In any case I'm exhausted and about to get some much needed sleep, as well as I'm sure the great staff that hosted Apex will get.
I'll also be posting shoutouts to everyone in the main smashboards thread.
I won't be attending any more tournaments until I get a job, so in my absence develop the MK banned metagame and give me a bigger better community to return to and test my skills in!

Love Jtails~

yeah, I'm tight at my seeding! lol and Olimar is my worst match up, almost as if on purpose. but honestly I still had a lot of fun, and it's a tournament so no matter what character/opponent you encounter, you're supposed to be the best!! :D

Congrats on making bracket! Also, wtf @ that bracket?

Jtails wrote at 6:36 PM on Jan 9, 2012 :
haha Thanks so much Doom. I was hoping to get to a higher placing to get on live stream. it's sooo hype and intense to play there!

but yeah, that's what I had to go through!

Jtails wrote at 6:39 PM on Jan 9, 2012 :
Also to both Doom and DM, both of your commentary was godlike, and the synergy between you two really shows.
and to Doom I told you at the venue, but I'll tell you again. I really enjoyed how you ran things and I don't think you were being a "douche" at all. you did what you had to do baby!

kinda wish i showed up to R2 so we would have had a chance to play. oh well lol, maybe another time, NY/NJ isn't that far :D

I need to hear more drunk Jtails stories, although I expect them all to be nearly the same:
Jtails challenges someone to some form of competition be it smash (video games in general), some physical exercise such as push ups or staring contest, or some nonsensical word puzzle thinking game that only Jtails knows the rules of... all while cursing and demanding someone to challenge...then he falls asleep

Also why would add another "donation" to this guy?
"Zero is super legit and took my money, despite my efforts, good stuff."


Lastly you were top T25/33 (8) - tied for 25th-33rd place with 8 others... Though just tell people who no nothing of competitions/rankings (most smash players don't understand the actual concept) you were 25th out of 400 ^_^

I was wondering why you referred to me as Jtails when I posted somewhere.

Yeah.
Seriously, who make an alt account to make reasonable and legitimate posts/comments that are typically written in a more educated yet witty manner when compared to their "main account". Alt accounts are for trolling which, aside from some comments misconstrued as "trash talking" resulting in a hate mail PM which I then reported to "mods" to give that scrub an "infraction", I do not do. Oh and for trading cards on AiB which I DO NOT DO (even if IPs are the same sometimes I wouldn't farm cards due to OCD).

Oh and it doesn't matter if people "saw" me or not; as long as some of the "right people" know of me (also makes it easier in the event certain individuals need to be "handled").
