[Sep 19, 2014] GUTS 3 (Ledyard, Connecticut)

Yo when's everyone planning on showing up? If we're tryna do a meal thing that might be important to know... I should be getting there at ~8 hopefully earlier.
 
We're trying to get the nyc band together tomorrow so hopefully we'll get there around 4~5pm, depending on traffic.

Pretty much the same. Also trying to avoid all tolls so this might take eleventybillion years.

See you at GUTS '17

Not sure, I'm on Doctor's schedule since I need to give him a ride after he gets out of school. I'm hopeful to get there before 6pm.
 
Wait...you're not there friday?
Oh yeah, I asked if I could stay with you Friday. Sorry, I forgot to tell you, but my Dad is actually able to bring me, so I'm getting the ride up there for the day. Though I may end up staying so long that he gets tired of being there and leaves me...
 
To drink or not to drink
 
It looks like top 8 SG is starting... now.
 
Good shit, Sonic Fox.
 
Dear @SonicFox5000,
Please stop being so good at competitive fighting vidya.
Dude took SG, MK9, Under-Night, and Injustice in the same day, as well as making top 8 for DOA5 which is probably going on right now.

Not just him, but his brother Mr. Kwiggles is in there as well
 
I love you all. I'll try to keep it brief:

- Shoutouts to Fuddruckers shenanigans (@Natezer you're the real MVP)

- Shoutouts to Juicy J being the star of Hard Rock Cafe

- Shoutouts @mcpeanuts for running SG and UNIEL like a champ and not DQ'ing me so that I can genuinely go 0-2 in Under Night in 2 really close sets. Also putting up with me as I tried to navigate through that catastrophe known as the KI tournament.

- Shoutouts to @Dolfinh for being WC chill af

- Shoutouts to DBZ Malaysian dubs

- Shoutouts to @LordCeno and that jesus-like hair and great conversation

- Shoutouts to @DaydreamingSorc and @Rizil for Gandum talks and various other laughs

- Shoutouts to @Deer for best haircut on the EC/Cosmos maybe

- Shoutouts to @dekillsage for slaying the guys who knocked me out of UNIEL and being 1 hit away from top 3

- Shoutouts to @ShadeMoneh because I don't even need to say why

- Shoutouts to @Datagram for holding down commentary and helping me find my car in the Amala Labyrinth known as Foxwoods

- Shoutouts to not pre-regging in the future

- Shoutouts to dropped inputs all over the ballroom

- Shoutouts to fearing for my life on that stormy ride home while everyone around me went 100+ mphs without being able to see the streets. Also almost falling asleep because lol4amdrivingwtfamievendoing. How I'm still alive after that dont even know. Also burning half a tank of gas getting from CT to home.

- Shoutouts to @WarpedEcho for being chill and actually playing really well the entire day. See you at GJNY maybe.

- Shoutouts to @SonicFox5000 for winning GUTS3. All of it.

- Shoutouts to North Stonington not believing in the evils known as street lights

Also Jammers™

Looks like his Brother and him got 1st and 2nd place respectively. Good shit.

Also, I'm sorta proud of the fact that we were the fourth biggest tournament there. Or... fifth. Technically. (Edit: Forgot about Smash, cause it wasn't on the list of tournaments I had, along with other tournaments. No idea what their numbers were.)

SSF4 - 114
UMVC3 - 55
UNIB - 28
USF4 - 26
SG - 22
TTT2 - 17
SCV - 16
SF3S - 16
DOA5 - 15
KI - 13

Couldn't find the numbers for MK or KOF.

Also feel like I missed hella fun you guys had without me. *sniff*. I'm fine.

Man so I just got home, I'm really tired, but was some good times going on. From the acid trip videos at Hard Rock to @Natezer and that whole godlike event at Fuddruckers. Every time we go to one of these East Coast majors some kinda crazy stuff keeps happening, hope that continues in the future.
 
Sonic Fox's talent is fucking nuts. Holy hell.

He's getting sponsored next year if he hasn't already been approached.

He is currently sponsored by Revolution Gaming (I think)
 
I feel like I missed a couple people, but know that this was the single most fun i've had being away from home because of every single one of you. You guys have something really special on the other side of the states, and it was awesome to be a part of it and be an honorary east coast member for a while.

@Datagram
Had tons of fun commentating with you. I've never been more relaxed while on the mic.

@ShadeMoneh
Every conversation I had with you led to laughs. Grats on getting top 8 and sending me to the shadow realm. Happy birthday shade, and enjoy your birthday.

@SonicFox5000
You swept this event hard. Your talent and insight on the game (every one you play) is incredible. You sent Sage to the shadow realm in both games he entered. Twice. You're a chill guy and I will be cheering for you at every event you go to.

@DaydreamingSorc + @Rizil
You guys made this event possible for me with Rides + housing arrangements. Enjoyed my conversations with both of you.

@Zidiane
You always appear for a split second at events and then dissapear before I have a chance to talk to you more. Your matches were tons of fun to commentate and it's great to see a solo player succeed in such a competitive region. I'll catch you for a conversation someday soon.

@dekillsage
Your dedication to this game really stands out in a community where people (even top players) apathetic about it. You have tons of insight and knowledge into the game that you never seem to mind sharing with anyone else. I really enjoyed our conversation at fuddruckers also. Would love to have you at SCR next year, because having you (and peanuts) would be dope.

@Natezer + @thedoctor2112
You guys were chill. Shared a lot of laughs and memories with you two, and I'm glad that you are both motivated to keep playing the game. I will hopefully catch you at either ECT or EVO (or both!)

@WarpedEcho
I've been playing with you online for a good while, and finally having the chance to play offline was a ton of fun (even if I do get a bit salty). I had fun every minute I spent around you, and am glad to find that there is more than one person in the world who plays Advance Wars. Grats on your first Top 8, and i'm counting on you to fuck everyone up at NEC.

@mcpeanuts
This is the fourth time i've been at a tournament with you this year. You did a great job handling the stress of running UNIB/SG, were a ton of fun to hang out with, and very supportive of every game out there. I first considered the idea of coming out to this tournament because you came to both SCR and NCR, and felt that I should return the favor. I look forward to hanging with you at every event, and you were the hardest person to say goodbye to this time. Really hope that I can catch you at SCR and ECT. also follow me back on twitter you ass

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:

- That giant seagull outside of burger king.
- Turning the 10 minute walk to burger king into a 45 minute dungeon crawler. (Warped, Shade, @Lethalmind , Datagram)
- "Oh hey, it's bas-tee-on man" - Peanuts
- Alex Deusauto bashing skullgirls while spending the entire weekend with us
- The thing that happened at Fuddruckers. You know the one.
- Me constantly mishearing peanuts (Delici instead of delicious, Darude Island instead of Rhode Island, etc.)
- Being lost in the two trees inn for about 25 minutes
- Sage opening a bag of goldfish that wasn't his
- Warped slipping a penny into a handful of goldfish and everyone freaking out
- The old people who couldn't get on the shuttle because it was full of FGC nerds
- Anything else I missed


Admittedly a tear or two came down when I was thinking about this. I promise that this WILL NOT be my last skullgirls-related trip to the east coast. I would love to come to NEC, but it is incredibly inconvenient for me as it is before my finals and less than a month before AGDQ. ECT next year however is a very likely possibility, and I will most likely be trying to bring a few others from NorCal as well. Thanks everyone for making the end of my summer the best it could have possibly been.

All of this is really cheesy and all. Oops.

But seriously, I love you all. Memories like these are the things I go to when I'm really not sure if i'm happy with myself.

I'm a total zombie at work today, running on limited sleep, and lost all my money on the Blackjack tables....but damn it was worth it. Such a fun weekend, really glad I could be a part of it, and man you guys are a fun group to hang out with. Awesome experience for my first tournament, and I can't wait for the next time I get to chill with you guys.

This really is one of the best communities out there and I'm pumped to start becoming a part of it
 
I bet I could get fourth at 4 or 5 games if I really tried. Sonic Fox is nothing special.

Are you Miguel Percy-Fauntleroy Rossington IV?
 
Now, the question I wanna ask here is this: Did Peanuts ever give Sonicfox that hug?

Yes and Brawl got like 20 something entrants iirc
 
Weird, I thought Smash players hated brawl. Why not just play Project M if you want the Brawl prettiness?

Couldn't they just replace the Brawl setups with, I dunno, a free play area? Or maybe some free weights?

Not like you can't play both. I'm sure all the people who entered USF4 also entered SSf4.
