Greetings everyone, it's been a long road since I announced the 2011 Smash Election back in late April, and I'm pleased to announce that we have our winners for the election chosen. It was a very tight race, and really did come down to the last competition, but the ticket that managed to come out on top to win the election is Vermanubis and dmbrandon!

I would like to congratulate these two on their hard work this election, and for being the new AiB President and Vice President of course. I had a lot of fun hosting this election and I hope everyone who participated had fun as well. I hope you all look forward to having a new President/Vice President, and also look forward to having another Smash Election in the future (If we end up having another).

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this from the candidates to supporters, and I hope you enjoyed the final AiB 2011 Smash Election Update.

Greetings everyone! The election is coming to an end soon, and I'm here to announce the final event for the AiB 2011 Smash Election. This will be the popular vote competition where all of the hard work and campaigning the tickets have put into this election so far shows. The rules are pretty simple, I'll have a poll put up on the front page this Friday (with the help of Neal), and it'll be closed Sunday at midnight PST. The tickets with the top three votes will earn points for their team, so get the word out for your campaigns and tell all your supporters to vote for you!

Also, I'd like to announce the results of the last competition, the Card Creation Contest. I had a lot of good submissions for this, but only 3 tickets can receive points from this contest. The top three tickets are Verm/Diem earning 100 points, Bloodynite/Zano came out in 2nd place earning 60 points, and 3rd place was hard to choose, but it ended up going to Afro/Gardex earning them 40 points. With the new points assigned, here is the current standings for the Smash Election:

1. Carls/Pavel - 260
2. Vermanubis/Diem - 200
3. Bloodynite/Zano - 160
4. AfroTwist VanillaPie/GardoTwist ChocolatePie - 120
5. Meek/Salem - 100
6. Eggz/BoJ - 60
6. Ivy73/HavocReaper48 - 60
7. Raffi/Sak - 40

This last competition will be the deciding factor in this contest! And don't forget about the points that will be rewarded for the winners of the Mascot Tourney (which I'll be announcing sometime this week). I hope all of you vote for the ticket you want to win this election, and I'll see you all in the next and final update.

Hey everyone, it's time for another update on the 2011 Smash Election! Today I have a new event to announce for all of our participants to take part in. I talked to a lot of the participants, and most of them requested we host 1 more event, so I'm here to bring you 1 last event before the final popular vote. This event is going to be a Card Creation Contest. Each ticket will be asked to create a TCG card supporting their side. This can represent anything from your ticket having your mascot, a slogan, etc. The rules are pretty simple:

1. You must create your own template for the card. (No using any of the existing TCG ones)
2. You will be judged on effort, creativity, and card composition (how it's set up)
3. Only 1 submission per ticket, but feel free to make as many as you would like.
4. PM your submissions to my inbox please.
5. As far as the layout (points, rarity, etc.), you will need a title, picture, point value, and rarity, but everything else is up to you.
6. Entries must be in by Saturday at midnight, EST.

I hope you guys all enjoy this new event we through together for you, and I'll be looking forwarding to seeing what types of cards you can think up for your entries.

As far as the current standings of the election. I have the updated standing for you all, reflecting the changes from the Smash Trivia event. In Smash Trivia we had team Carls/Pavel come out on top with 10 points, team Ivy73/HavocReaper48 in 2nd place with 7 points, and Gardo/Afro rounded up the top three after a three way tie breaker question with 5 points. Here are the current standings to reflect these results:

1. Carls/Pavel - 260
2. Meek/Salem - 100
2. Bloodynite/Zano - 100
2. Vermanubis/Diem - 100
3. AfroTwist VanillaPie/GardoTwist ChocolatePie - 80
4. Eggz/BoJ - 60
4. Ivy73/HavocReaper48 - 60
5. Raffi/Sak - 40

Good luck to everyone with your card creations, and I'll see everyone in the next election update!

Hey guys, we're coming down to the wire with the 2011 Smash Election! It's been a couple weeks so far, we've had some fun events, and we only have two more to go before we decide the 2011 president and vice president. This past week I hosted the Ad Competetion, and I had some pretty hood entries, but only three groups can earn points for their tickets. It was pretty hard to pick, but the top three placers in the Ad Competition are Bloodynite/Zano earning 100 points, Carls/Pavel in 2nd picking up 60 points, and Verm/Hyuga at 3rd with 40 points. I really liked all of the ads, and hopefully you guys use them to advertise your tickets in these last few weeks.

As far as this week goes, I'll be hosting the Smash Trivia Competition. This event will be hosted Thursday June 16th, at 9pm EST. I'm sorry this can't be on a Friday or Saturday, but I'm busy these days, and I'm sure most people are out of school by now or will be soon. This will be hosted in the Smash Talk chat room. I hope everyone shows up and studies up on some smash knowledge for this competition. I'll have a few people asking questions with me, so look forward to a variety of questions, and although this competition is only open to the ticket members, I'll still add on points for those of you who guess correctly toward earning Smash Trivia badges; so you can earn points for your tickets and possible badges for yourself from this event!

I'd like to close this announcement with the current standings of the 2011 Smash Election after the last contest. The standings as of now are:

1. Carls/Pavel - 160
2. Meek/Salem - 100
2. Bloodynite/Zano - 100
2. Vermanubis/HyugaRicdeau - 100
3. Eggz/BoJ - 60
4. Raffi/Sak - 40
4. AfroTwist VanillaPie/GardoTwist ChocolatePie - 40

Keep up the hard work everyone and I'll be looking forward to seeing you all this Thursday night!

Hey everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the AiB 2011 Smash Election so far! I'm here with another announcement for our nominees as to what they'll be asked to do this week. This week's competition is going to be an Ad Competition. I'm asking each ticket to produce some sort of advertisement promoting their ticket. This can be a commercial, banner, flyer, anything. You can talk about what your ticket represents, use your mascot to draw in more support, or use a witty slogan or video to gain followers who prefer that sort of approach. You'll have until the end of this week, Friday June 10th at midnight PST to have an advertisement ready. You can place this ad in blogs, on your support groups, or where ever you would like, but you MUST PM me your ad as well. You'll be judged on creativity, clarity of the message, effort, and overall satisfaction with the ad. Please follow all site rules when making the ads, and I hope you guys have fun with this challenge.

Also, since the last announcement, I have the results of the last two events, and have an updated list of the current standing in the election. Here's a link to the final bracket image from the doubles tourney last Monday for those curious as to how that played out:

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4981/electionfinal.gif

We has Meek/Salem coming out on top, undefeated, and earning their ticket 100 points. Eggz/BoJ has a run in with Meek/Salem causing their first lose, but managed to fight through loser's bracket to earn 2nd place, and 60 points. Raffi/Sak round up the tourney at 3rd earning 40 points.

As far as the Group Decoration contest, we had a lot of groups fighting for first, but only one could come out on top. First place in this contest goes to the Carls/Pavel ticket, with an average score of 82.6, second place goes to Vermanubis/HyugaRicdeau with an average of 79.4, and round out the top three is AfroTwist VanillaPie/GardoTwist ChocolatePie with an average score of 72.5

This puts the current standings at a 2 way tie for the top three places currently being:

1. Meek/Salem - 100
1. Carls/Pavel - 100
2. Eggz/BoJ - 60
2. Vermanubis/HyugaRicdeau - 60
3. Raffi/Sak - 40
3. AfroTwist VanillaPie/GardoTwist ChocolatePie - 40

There's still a ton of events left, and a lot more chances to earn points. Good luck to everyone in the ad competition this week, and I'll be looking forward to giving the next Smash Election announcement soon.

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I announced the Beach Ball Creation Contests a few weeks ago, but I'm happy to announce that I finally have the results ready for you all. It took a while after I got all of the submissions gathered to get the admins to decide on which ones they would want to add to the site, but after some deliberation, they finally decided on the 10 new additions we'll be making. Three of the winning submissions had their descriptions changed, so I hope the creators don't mind this slight altercation too much, but otherwise all of the other winning submissions are unchanged.

That being said, here are the 10 new beach balls you can look forward to being added to AiB, in no particular order:



PSN Ball
It only does everything, which apparently now includes identity theft and lawsuits.


Snake's Box
It's show time!


Wheatley
AAAAA . . . C?


Tanooki Ball
The only time a grown man should ever wear a raccoon suit.


Green Luma Ball
Every Green Star started somewhere.


Sandvich Ball
What was that, Sandvich? "Kill them all"? Good idea!


Spellman Ball
I'd hit that...


Turnip
The one time it's okay to play with your food.


Samus' Gunship
Because every bounty hunter needs one.


Shine Sprite
Gotta collect 'em all!

To be expected, the creators of these beach balls will be the first ones they will be passed to. Thanks to everyone who participated in this contest, and I hope everyone enjoys these new additions to the site.

Greeting everyone, it's time for another announcement for the AiB 2011 Smash Election! I hope you've all been enjoying the election so far. I've been having fun hosting the mascot tourney and seeing all of the tickets rallying for support for their causes. I'd like to apologize about not being able to have the Doubles Tourney everyone has been looking forward to last week, but I'll for sure be hosting it tonight at 8 PM EST, so no need to wait any longer for that. I apologize for all the date changes, and I know some people might have issues with this date; however no date (including the original one I made) works for everyone, so just try your best to make it and if you can't there are still more events to make up points in, so no need to worry.  Also, just an idea I was recently mentioned. If only one team member can show up, I'll allow the other to enter with a level 9 computer reprsenting their mascot. That should make things a little interesting. lol

Furthermore, I'd like to announce this week's contest. I'll be hosting a group decoration contest in collaboration with Miles of SmashWiki. This contest will involve you and your supporters customizing your support groups to advertise your tickets to the members of AiB. You'll be judged on creativity, effort, theme, and overall satisfaction. You can throw a bunch of cool pics of your mascot on your group page, make up cool slogans, or think of anything else that will make your groups shine over the other ones. Each ticket will have until this Friday, June 3rd at midnight EST, to have their groups finalized. We'll judge them over the weekend and reveal the winners in next week's update.

I'll be looking forward to seeing how creative you can get with your groups this week, and even more so to tonight's Doubles Tourney. Good luck to everyone and I hope you have fun!

Hey everyone, it's been a couple weeks since I announced the AiB 2011 Smash Election, and I'm happy to present you with this year's nominees, as well as the mascots who will be representing them, for this Smash Election:

I hope you guys have all been excited since the announcement of the AiB 2011 Smash Elections last week. Today's I'll be telling you all just hope you can compete for a chance to be this year's Smash President and Vice President as well as explaining all of the events you'll be competing in during the election process to get you there.

Let's start off with the rules on how to be an official nominee:

• Create a ticket with another non-staff AiB member.
• Private message me a list of (at least) your top 10 mascot choices from the Brawl characters.
• Create a campaign group and obtain at least 20 supports for your ticket.
• Post a link to your group in the official AiB 2011 Smash Election Group "Tickets Thread" and include the number of supporters you have in your group in the post until you reach at least 20.
• Have all of this done by Midnight of May 22th.

With the rules out of the way, I'll get to an explanation of the events you'll be competing in and just how you win the election. There will be 5 major events, along with a few side events that will earn you points for your ticket. First place in an event will get your ticket 100 points, 2nd place gets you 60 points, and 3rd place bags you 40 points for that event. Here's a list of the events and a tentative schedule of when each event will be held.

1. May 27th: Ticket Doubles Tourney
2. June 3rd: Group Decoration Contest
3. June 10th: Ticket Ad Competition
4. June 17th: Smash Trivia Competition
5. June 24th: Final Popular Vote

At the end of these events and the 5 week election period, we will have our new AiB 2011 Smash President and Vice President! If you want to be a part of this election make sure to find a running mate as soon as possible and start getting supports to join your groups. I'll be looking forward to seeing all of the groups popping up this next week, and all of you make sure to join the official AiB 2011 Smash Election group to keep up with updates and anything else concerning the 2011 Smash election:

http://allisbrawl.com/group.aspx?id=14141

Have fun making your tickets and good luck to everyone!

Addendum:
You should note the following implications if you are considering running:

• Live events will be scheduled for a time convenient to North America. Sorry to those who are not in a NA time zone, but there's no way to run a live trivia contest or live tournament without making it difficult for half the world to attend. We will do our best to accomodate as many participants as possible, but it is your reponsibility to make sure you can attend any scheduled events on time, or you will have to forfeit any potential points from said event.
• This is not solely a popular vote. You cannot rely on just spamming groups and funny blogs to win.
• Yes, you and your running mate will have to participate in a Brawl wifi doubles tournament against other candidates.
• The Smash Trivia contest will take place in one of our chat rooms.
• We will do a weighted random select to assign mascots that more than one team requests.
• Follow all rules to the letter.

Have fun!

It's been a while since we've had any new beach balls on AiB, so I've decided to run a contest to let our members create some new ones for the site! The rules are pretty simple and the process is pretty easy, so I'm hoping to see a lot of submissions for this.

Here's what you have to do:

• Create a 50x50 px (maximum size) PNG image with transparent background [upload to imageshack, tinypic, etc.]
• Provide a name for the ball, as well as a witty, funny, or clever description
• PM your entry to my inbox
• Submit your entry before Midnight PST on May 16th

You don't have to be an expert at photoshop, or be super artistic to enter an awesome beach ball idea to this contest, so I'm hoping everyone who's interested in seeing their beach ball added to the site will participate.

Here's an example of an entry to get you all started:

Image:


Name: Rammus Ball
Description: Power Ball Da Bes!

I'll only be adding 1 ball per person, but you may submit up to two entries. I'm looking to add 10 new balls to the site, so I need all of your help to get as much entries as possible! Good luck, and have fun creating.

P.S. Please try to avoid revealing which beach balls you create until after winners are chosen.

Greetings AiB, Sumer here, and I’m pleased to announce the start of the 2011 AiB Smash Election! It’s been a few years since we held the last one, but this one is going to be bigger, better, and much more fun to be a part of than the previous election. This year's election will have nominees competing in:

-A Doubles Tournament with each ticket being one team.
-A Smash Trivia event exclusively for candidates.
-A Group Decoration Contest.
-An Ad competition.
-A regular popular vote.
-And many more events!

Each of these events will come with a point reward, and at the end of the election, the ticket with the most awards will be the winners. For those who weren't around for the last election, where our very own Valdens/Praxis ticket managed to take first place, you won't want to miss out on this election. Anyone who was able to participate in the last election can tell you just how much fun they had doing it, and we're going to be pushing that fun to extremes and providing an even more exciting and enjoyable election for you all to be a part of!

Things you should know about this year’s Smash Elections:

-Each ticket will have two AiB members on it.
-You cannot run with a Staff member, sorry.
-Each ticket will also have a mascot (character) from Brawl representing them.
-Each ticket will have a support group to strategize and campaign.

Once we have the nominees figured out we’ll be having them participate in a slew of events and activities to earn points for their ticket. The nominees with the most points at the end of the race will win the honor of being the 2011 President/Vice President of AiB! Let me assure everyone that this election will in no way be a simple popularity contest, so don’t let this deter you from wanting to participate in the election.

I’m looking forward to seeing all the groups popping up for this election, and I’m hoping you all look forward to my next article announcing exactly how to enter the election.

Until then, let the elections begin!

 

I recently got a chance to interview Malcolm about his recent success in Brawl, among other things. This was a pretty informal interview, since I've known Malcolm for a while, so please no comments about using emoticons or anything. Enjoy:

Sumer: I’d like to start off by taking a chance to thank you for making time in your busy schedule to do this interview with me.

For those who don’t know, you were one of the top Sonic players back in the day, shout out to bluesteak, but decided to pick up Wario I believe a year after Brawl’s release. Why did you choose Wario to be your main instead of someone like Meta Knight or Snake who were clearly top tier at that time?

Malcolm McNulty : Wario was actually my first character in Brawl. I played Zelda once because I loooved her in melee (See my Zelda in Melee!) but she just didn't feel the same so I decided Wario looked too funny to pass up. I picked up Sonic right b4 I went to tournaments because I'm a huge sonic fanboy and well...he was fun, effective and could be played really offensively before people understood what to do. He turned alot less fun later on so I made the change to Wario because he's too funny and better of course.

Malcolm McNulty : ;o

Malcolm McNulty : He's also the onllllllllllly other character I can play!!

Malcolm McNulty : My metaknight is so bad ;-;

Sumer : I know you got that pocket Falco. (smirk)

Malcolm McNulty : Wifi falco is the strongest Falco.

Sumer : XD

Sumer : I actually picked up Wario after playing yours, and have used him in a couple tournaments, in both singles and doubles, and have a lot of fun using him. What makes him so fun for you to use and do you have plans on trying to pick up a higher tier character, or even lower tier, to help you with some of your tougher match ups?

Malcolm McNulty : I find Wario fun because he's entirely in your opponent’s head. His moves are pretty good, but the fear factor is his specialty. I find reads fun...and he makes a lot of them. IMO he's forced to make more than any other character around him in the tier list. I haaaaaaave dabbled with Falco but I think it's going to be just Wario. DDD frustrates me to no end (Shoutouts to every DDD that has beaten me...aka every DDD) but the way I look at it...once I get past that hurdle I'll be unstoppable so it'll be well worth it.

Sumer : I'm sure you'll find a way to get past those DDD players soon, whether it's by finding out some ground breaking technique in the MU or just by playing gay to the extreme every time you play a DDD. lol

Malcolm McNulty : I'm getting better @ it!! I just have to win on FD ;o

Sumer : On to more recent events, you’ve been enjoying an increased success in tournament performance ever since your victory at Baltimore Brawl 2 where you beat Junebug in Grand Finals. Since then you haven’t placed under top 3, placing 3rd at Hall of Gaming #4, behind ADHD and Anti, and placing 2nd at Mass Madness Legends, behind Fatal. What do you think can contribute to you performing so much better recently?

Malcolm McNulty : Well I took a break from Brawl because I lost my controller and found this dope game called League of Legends. I actually believe that is the reason for my recent success. It's easy to get wrapped up in patterns in this game and lose sight of all the options you have available to you...and sometimes just not seeing the game for awhile can make things a lot more clear to you when you return. Oh but just to clarify I have placed below 3rd in the past few weeks. I got 4th @ a New Jersey tournament that Ally attended. I beat ADHD's Diddy in winners then lost to Atomsk's DDD in winners and ADHD's 'Peach' in losers.

Sumer : I know what you mean about breaks. I've personally taken time off from Brawl and returned playing better than before, and I guess I didn't do my research as good as I should have lol, but that's still very impressive to not place below 4th after playing again.

Malcolm McNulty : It was a stacked tournament! And yeah I think the occasional break is good for everyone.

Sumer : There's no denying you're a top contender after placing so high with so many other good players to compete with, and I'm sure it won't be the last time we see you that high up anytime soon. :3

Malcolm McNulty : I am playing reaaaally well atm so I don't wanna count myself out, but you never know in this region. Everyone is somehow really really good lol.

Sumer : I agree with that, you got this though!

Sumer : As far as doubles goes, you’ve been teaming with Vinnie and Inui a lot recently, placing no less than 2nd at your last three tournaments. What do you think makes your team combinations with these players so successful? And are there any players you’re planning to or would like to team with at a future tournament?

Malcolm McNulty : Both of those players are just really good lol. They are both really experienced with teaming a Wario for various reasons and both of them are excellent doubles players. If I had to point out specific reasons...Vinnie and I are both very hard to hit and we see different habits so he punishes a lot of stuff I would miss out on and vice versa. Inui and I are more focused on a grab game. Down throw from Wario is really devastating...and I get it a lot. I am planning to team with Junebug for CoT5. June is like...da bes so I wouldn’t be surprised if we did really well. We teamed once before @ a Maryland tournament and got 1st so we are hoping to replicate that. People that I would like to team with? Anti, Jash, Trela, Nairo, DMG Gnes, Dphat and anyone from the WC that I know. I could see myself winning with any of them.

Sumer : I could also see that, and hope you get a chance to team with them sometime soon. I still want to team with you one day, but I'm sure there's a list of people who'd like to do that as well. XD

Malcolm McNulty : Maybe we will do work @ a MI tourney!!

Sumer : Looking forward to it. :D

Sumer : Speaking of tourneys, what tournaments are you planning to attend that are coming up either nationally or in your region? I know DNA 17 and KTAR 5 are both coming up pretty soon. Also, how do you think you’ll perform at these tournaments? It’s fine not to answer this question if you want to make a surprise showing at these to take everyone’s money.

Malcolm McNulty : I will be @ KTAR and CoT5, but I think that's it for the EC. I wanna save up and go to Genesis! I had a complete blast @ the first 1 and I encourage everyone to go this time around. How do I think I will do at all these incredibly stacked tournaments? I really have no idea. There will be a lot of top players there and there will be a lot of random DDDs there. Let's just say top 10 ;o

Sumer : Those random DDDs so strong.

Malcolm McNulty : Too powerful imo

Sumer : Hopefully I can make it out to CoT5 and Genesis too.

Sumer : They sound like they'll be a lot of fun.

Malcolm McNulty : You should!! Both tournaments are gonna be amazing!

Sumer : I'll try my best. lol

Malcolm McNulty : Yeeee 8-)

Sumer : I wanted to save a question about a topic I know a lot of people are interested in nowadays, League of Legends! You were one of the first people to start playing this on AiB, and now a good handful of the site plays. However, you sort of answered it already when you said taking a break from Brawl and playing LoL is one of the reasons you’ve been doing better recently, so I’ll change up the question a bit. Do you think you might have learned some new traits you can apply to your Brawl mindset after playing LoL for so long and returning back to Brawl? For example, I went about a month and a half without playing Brawl one time, so I passed the time playing a lot of fighting guys like Guilty Gear and Street Fighter; but through playing these I learned just how important playing defensive was to win, and when I got back to Brawl I was playing a lot more defensive and doing a lot better too.

Malcolm McNulty : Things I learned from league...I can't think of any off-hand. Maybe risk estimation? When to go for a kill and when to try and put yourself in your opponent’s shoes? I don't see much similarity in the two games outside of the fact that I enjoy them both. Sorry I couldn't be of any help with this one D:

Sumer : No problem. XD It was just an on the spot question, but thanks for trying.

Sumer : I know you have a lot going on in your life when you’re not owning in Brawl or playing LoL, so what do you typically do when you get a chance to relax from gaming, and what are your future plans as a pro gamer looking like other than gaming?

Malcolm McNulty : When I'm not on LoL or @ a tournament I am usually in the city hanging out with my college friends. I don't really see myself going further with pro gaming. I really just wanna get out of school (not happening anytime soon) and get involved with the field of Psychology...most likely as a therapist. If an opportunity were to arise for gaming I wouldn't ignore it, but I don't have any future plansss. I play games because I have fun playing them and like the competition. Not because I plan to make a living off of them.

Sumer : Sounds cool, and I'm sure you'll be out sooner than you expect, so no need to worry. lol

Malcolm McNulty : It's all good. College is fun even if it takes a little long. ;o

Sumer : Do you have any advice you would like to share for people who are new to LoL or Brawl, or who are looking to improve in either game?

Malcolm McNulty : As far as advice...

Malcolm McNulty : I think the two games are pretty similar in how to get better. They both look really basic and it's easy to get lost in doing what youuuu think is the best and not make any progress. You can figure out the basics of either game on your own, but to get better faster you really have to watch or consult the top players. They see something that you don't most of the time. They may be able to help you correct it personally or you may pick up on an option you've ignored from watching them play. I mean you can take the long road of making 41290412 mistakes and having to learn from each one...sometimes its more fun that way. I prefer the visual style of learning. Neither game has a large technical barrier so it's alllllllll in the mind ;o

Sumer : I see. Good advice and definitely something I try to do to improve myself.

Malcolm McNulty : inb4sumertop3inMIandbesatLoL

Sumer : I'll try my best to get better in both. XD

Sumer : You better help me though!

Malcolm McNulty : O the strongest carry

Sumer : You know it. :D

Sumer : Do you have any shout outs you would like to give to people who have helped you get as good as you are today or people who’ve supported you even before?

Malcolm McNulty : oOoOoOo

Malcolm McNulty : I've been waiting for shoutoutsss

Malcolm McNulty : Well for people who helped me get as good as I currently am...

Malcolm McNulty : shoutouts to HBK. He kicked my *** in melee and even in brawl for a bit.

Malcolm McNulty : Lol a lot of the lessons I learned "the hard way" were from him.

Malcolm McNulty : But other shoutouts go to Shoego aka Shugo, You, Rei, Lightside Lee, TKO, Midnite, Misa, Vincenzo, Sassy, Shadow1pj, L_Cancel, Nappy, Joedot, Meekspeedy, Orez, Mittenkiss, Skaabi and Elite_Viet and all the other people I talk to on Skype all the time =D

Sumer : My final question of the day is how you came up with the nickname WarioMaster15? I personally think it’s because you wanted people to think you were a random at nationals before you owned them. lol But I’d like to hear the reasoning behind it from you.

Malcolm McNulty : Hahahaha. Tbh I was talking and playing brawl with Speed (SonicMaster5) a lot and I just found his name to be absolutely hilarious so I made one of my own and started using it as a tag on Wifi. I had a really horrrrrrrrrrible performance @ MLG Orlando and I was like well...they clearly just hated on the name Malcolm McNulty so I thought this other name might have a bit more luck =P

Malcolm McNulty : I still enjoy hearing people say they "only have to play against some random named WarioMaster15". It never gets old ;o

Sumer : Too good. XD

Sumer : That about wraps it up. Thanks again for doing this interview and I hope you keep up the rape in Brawl, so you can finally get out of that 7th place PR spot. lol Forever 7th! Also, LoL with me later, you owe me.

Malcolm McNulty : I'm like 7th every ranking, but this one may be different lol. And you can get carried by the dopest Tristana/Caitlyn on the planet in jus a lil bit ;o

Sumer : It was a pleasure. :3

Malcolm McNulty : It was also a pleasure for me :D
