Okay, my turn for shoutouts.
First off, wowowowowowowowowowowowow, what a first Evo for me. Sucks that I wasn't able to go to the Salty Suite, but it was still fun regardless.
First of all, shoutouts to
@BrandX+ and
@Inferno for letting me stay at their apartment whilst the tourney went on. Really helped me out toooooons.
Next to
@mcpeanuts and
@Hirokuni for being cool roommates and stuff. 'Twas great hanging out with you guys before and after Evo hours.
Salty Crew, where you at?
@Nekro_Surge @Viro Veteruscy @WingZero @DJAzure @When's Skullgirls @Stuff (also, props for actually vandalizing public property in Vegas)
@Jason D. @Weatherbee (who is the WORST at Mario Party, confirmed)
@MegamanDS and
@Wifininja. Good to see all of you guys again!
Valentine love was up in the house. Shoutouts to
@Outlaw_Spike (for getting me those super amazing shortbread and fudge cookies, and just being a super cool dude overall) and
@Shin ATproof (One of da bes in the business) for showing Val's still got some moves. (3-0ing Team Yung? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?)
Another WC fellow worth shouting out,
@Domo. It was cool talking to you and stuff. Thanks for the amazing stickers, hope to see you again sometime, and I still accept being branded an Average Lad.
And now I can say shoutouts to EC, since this was my first time really interacting with most of them.
@keninblack for being a super cool and friendly dude, and for that pep talk after things didn't really go my way in pools.
@winnie for also being a cool dude. Really wish we'd gotten to play some Bella Pong, but maybe some other time.
@KhaosMuffins. We didn't particularly hang out or talk much, but the time we did was really enjoyable, and I hope to do it again sometime!
@dekillsage for taking Evo 2014. Super good job, man! #BellaNation
@SonicFox5000 for pretty much being one of the best general fighting game players at this point. Champ of MK9, Injustice, and DOA. Now go start playing games people with no taste care about so you can get the recognition you deserve. Also, stop shooting people. It's not nice.
@Zidiane Also another brief encounter, but it was still nice anyway!
@Hopscawtch Was nice hanging out with you, and thanks for finding my Evo shirt!
@POS Industries gets some love for being as cool irl as he is on the internet. A feat not many are able to pull off well.
@ElkyDori for also being a cool dude. Keep up the Painwheel and give Weatherbee a run for his money.
Course there's some for Midwest as well. Although it was brief, shoutouts to
@Duckator and
@konkrete (promise I'll be better the next time we're up against each other). You guys seem pretty cool, and maybe I can get to know the both of you sometime.
Now for some outside of the States.
@Izzmo and
@Mr Peck for being very cool fellows who bothered to come all the way out here for Evo. Hope to talk to you guys more sometime!
Couple more random ones.
@Skarmand for being actually Roxas irl.
@Pikmario for winning the impromptu Nidhogg tournament in 2107 earlier today.
@Swiftfox-Dash for the few games in the suite that we played. Don't even care if I get stomped, it's all a learning experience.
Biggest shoutout, however, to
@render for organizing and running this entire thing single-handedly. You should get all of the awards for what you pulled off.
There are others I'd like to give a shoutout to, but I either didn't get to talk to them much to form an opinion, they don't have a handle on here I can tag them with, or I just plain forgot, but know I still enjoyed talking to all those I did talk to and stuff!
As a final note, if you guys happen to get a friend request from a talking horse anytime soon, it's me.
Hope to do this again next year!
