Okay. Here we go.
I am only shouting out a couple of people, but please know that literally EVERY. SINGLE. ONE OF YOU DESERVE ENDLESS RECOGNITION. I equally adore everyone, and I could not be happier knowing this community. You all accept me as someone that you can come to, to not just play SG, but to laugh with, and talk to, and relax with. That means more than you will ever know. So please don't be discouraged if your name is not on this list. I really wanted to give everyone time but I would be typing this up for literally days if I did that.
@Izzmo From the bottom of my heart I am so sorry, I left the elevator to say bye to Duck than come back and say bye to you, but my tired stupid ass did not realize how dumb that was of me. I'm really sorry that I couldn't say goodbye, I feel really bad about it. Come next year so I won't fuck up again, you're a very nice guy to have around and it was an honor to get to know you and play your dope ass team.
@render Thank you, you ran the tournament exceptionally well considering the setups and resources you had at your disposal. Just like every year, no one could've done it better and thank you so much. You're positivity and patience is perfect for TOing, and I hope we continue to meet up because you're a bro!
Xanadu: I don't think I have ever been more proud about anything related to fighting games in my entire life, after all the prep and countless hours we put into the game together I am so happy that we were able to come out and put Xanadu, and the DC/MD/VA all over the upper half of the bracket. If you didn't make it out of pools, you got 3rd in your pool. We've come a long way from Me, Winnie, and Broseidon just taking turns playing by ourselves at Xanadu. With that I am forever grateful.
@winnie I love you man, you made Virginia proud, sorry that I couldn't play my part. Were going to take over Smash though. See you in a couple days when you're done with hibernating ;P
@mcpeanuts You played very well, this was our 3rd EVO together and I am always blessed that I am able to see you. Thank you for setting up the room for me and Winnie so we could come on our own. Can't wait to see you at more events.
@SonicFox5000 You will ALWAYS have me in your corner for any game and don't you dare forget that. I knew you had that Injustice crown as soon as you told me you had it. You're the best Neatherealms player, an amazing Skullgirls player, and I can't wait to be by your side as you dominate your games. Just please support me too if I ever make any noise in Smash ;)
@Elda Taluda You've grown SO much as a player over such a small amount of time and I am so happy for your progress. Don't regret anything, you played as best you could and you made the Midwest proud. I hope whatever you pursue brings you as must success as SG has. Best Painwheel, best Fortune, best person. <3
@Swiftfox-Dash I knew since playing online with you that you were going to wreck this bracket. Its always awesome seeing you because you always have an awesome smile on your face, and you roll through with your own personal posse and I have nothing but respect for that. I hope you had a great vacation with your friends, and I wish you the best of luck.
@dekillsage I knew you had it, as soon as I got on your corner and you gave me that nod I knew what was going to happen. Ever since NEC you've just had the drive to put in the work and it shows, you have new tools and tech every time I see you. Seeing you take the crown brought me nothing but tears of joy and I'm so glad I helped contribute that fire that gave you this win. "Fuck New York" <3
@GeneralMunoz I saw you commentating the recorded matches, so glad you were able to do what you wanted to do. You're the hype man I one day wish I could be, not just for New York, or the East Coast, but for the people. Please don't ever stop attending events, I don't care what game you play, but we all need you.
@Lethalmind You're STILL one of my favorite players to watch since that Winter Brawl we met. You always come up with amazing tech, your kindness also knows no bounds and I'm very happy for the time we always share.
@Broken Loose (and Malyssa <3) Words cannot describe how happy you two make me, you guys never stop showing me positivity and good energy and I am forever grateful for meeting you two. The wit you both share together is awe-inspiring and I hope one day to visit you folks in Florida. :) THAT DISNEY WORLD TRIP NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!
@Hopscawtch Okay you may disagree but you showing up was REALLY important. You were streaming when nobody was and you brought such a breath of fresh air to the game that it really needed. You gave us all a place to meet each other and talk til the sun came up. You bring nothing but happiness, and seeing you at events brings me nothing but joy. I hope you keep attending events, tournament player or spectator, because we all appreciate you so much. Love you Dad <3
@nomnomkitty221 MAMA! Seeing you always makes my dad, after a slow, 5 hour long plane ride and a lot of driving in dry heat. Seeing you as soon as I walked in the door to play SG made it all worth it. You always look out for me and keep my stupid ass in check, and I respect the fuck out of it. I WILL VISIT YOU GUYS I PROMISE <3 I'll bring Winnie too!!
@Nekro_Surge EVO would be nothing without your great attitude, the way you carry yourself and many more things. Love you to death dude, I'm glad you could make it, and I hope to see you next year.
@Rance As always, you're the best. Get me the contacts of all the homies you introduced me to bro! Always a pleasure meeting up with you, and I hope we have many more interactions together. You just fucking rock dude.
@Shin ATproof Having conversations with you is just always a good time. You're so thoughtful, your mix game is HELLA PROPER, and you always deliver a smile to my face. See you around bro <3
@Some Person It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, you'll conquer your nerves in time I promise. You're a very kind person and it was just so awesome hanging with you!!
@severine I hope all is well, I'm so happy you were still able to go and you never stop making these EVO trips worth it. I love you to bits and I really really REALLY hope I get to see you soon.
@Duckator Seeing you always lets me know that I'm at a Skullgirls event. You're awesome one liners and the way you carry yourself never fails to make me feel all fuzzy inside. Nothing but love for you dude. Keep in touch.
@konkrete Always a pleasure, I always feel like I get like mental "cool points" hanging out with you because you're fucking awesome! Here's to many more tournaments together!
@Negus Eyoel Had a blast getting hype as fuck and side betting with you. You keep things interesting and we need that, nothing but love!
@ThatOneOtherDude GG's in Smash my dude, LETS LEVEL UP AND KILL IT NEXT YEAR IN SMASH 4.
@Hilary Going into EVO I knew meeting you was going to be a gift, and I was right. You were nothing but positive and wise the whole event and it was an absolute honor meeting you. I hope we can stay in touch and keep making awesome memories. Thank you for everything <3
@Domo Literally everything I've ever wanted in a person is you. I knew we were going to get along super well and like HOLY FUCK YOU'RE PERFECT <3 I don't know what else to say but just UGH <3
@Choose Goose Already shouted out your brother but O DONT WORRY YOU GET ONE TOO BAE. You're awesomely cool and swell and meeting you was dope. Thanks for putting up with me, but man, you're great. <3
@Skarmand 10. SECOND. HUG BOYS. Haha was awesome meeting you dude. You're super sweet and EASILY the C U T E B O Y champ. See ya soon I hope!!
@GirlyStyle I HATE HOW WE AREN'T ROOM-MATES BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER. You are the perfect pea to my carrot, the anal to my dildo, and some other thing. Your energy is fucking awesome and amazing and I hope one day I can be half as good of a father as you.
