I'm going back home starting today until the 27th and I don't think they have a stable internet connection there so I'm probably out unless I can figure something out.

Here are my matches with Zeuhl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mezwmsBjgM4 Duck Hunt v. Toon Link

I choked up in these, stupid dog.

Should of stayed with Shulk and maybe tried to improve on round 1

I can't watch these! Please understand.

I felt bad about the first one afterward. Duck Hunt is heavier than he looks and Shulk is lighter in smash mode.

Well I'm not gonna drop you yet. See if you can figure something out, but it's very possible that the upper half of the bracket won't have even caught up to you guys by then.

I understand that holidays are happening, and people are going to travel/have company/generally be unable to play. I was hoping to get the bracket done by Chistmas, but since that isn't looking likely I'm not going to worry too much about matches taking a week or more. We'll see where we are in the few days after Christmas, and if we have to make drops I'll do it then.

Thanks for doing the hard stuff for me man

It's no big. I've been a TO for years, so this stuff is kinda second nature to me now, although online tournaments introduce some new challenges.

On that subject I'm probably going to be hosting a Smash4 tournament end of January/beginning of February, so if you live in the Boston area and want to hang out with my goony rear end IRL I'll probably have the details sorted out in a week or so.

How do you generally find the skill levels of IRL tourney players comparing to those of us in the tourney?

Smash 4 is tough to gauge since it's so new, but for the Project M tournaments we've had over the last year there's been some solid play. We don't have anyone up here (that I know of) who's crazy good at PM or Smash 4, everyone goes to New York, but there is/was a big melee scene in the greater Boston area (KDJ lives 2 towns over from me).

The local store we play at is Game Underground in Framingham. If you watched GUTS 3 back in September it's hosted by them (and I'm good friends with the owner).

Since I got out of college we've just been doing tournaments out of my house, which has been a mostly friends and friends of friends deal, but I want to establish a solid Smash 4 scene, so I'm looking to expand, and I'm probably going to be posting tournament dates and my stream all over SmashBoards/Reddit/here to try and develop a group. There's like 15 of us in a close group right now that get together and play every 2 weeks or so.

Once we establish a scene I'll move on to weekly streams of friendlies, getting an actual venue for tournaments (probably GU), and getting cross promotion with the other big Smash events.

Edit: To actually answer your question; It's pretty comparable. I honestly haven't had the time to practice Smash 4 as much as I've wanted (holiday season and all) so I'm not at the top of my game, but I have friends who could go toe to toe with Reksi/KingofSprings.

Also not to john but playing online introduces lag elements and gives a slight advantage to heavy/hard hitting fighting styles, which is totally not my bag. I can't play heavy characters in Smash to save my life.

I don't like getting my badness questioned, so I went and challenged Sofia. He swiftly kicked my rear end many times in a row. Consider the result Sofia Coppola_OD_ 2, Gimbal Lock 0.

Something has come up tomorrow and I'm probably not gonna be around for my match against either Endgame or Evil Eagle, which unfortunately means I probably can't play my match until the 25th (24th USA time). I'm around all Christmas and New Year though, and I guess the other half of the bracket still has some catching up to do anyway so hopefully I don't get DQed while I'm gone?

Cya all in a week.

We fought on two Omega stages and I beat him pretty handily on the first match, but the second one he fought harder being more of a challenge and even landed a ko punch, but misuse of counters was his undoing.
