January 2007, to the summer of 2008, Super Smash Brothers Melee tournaments. I played under the name "Zm2004." I mained Mario, and only two times in the dozens of tournaments I went to did I ever use another character. My most common tourny locations were C3 and Chudat's Bi-Weeklies.
Some of my most memorable tournament moments (for me) include:
-December 22, 2007 C3 tournament (51 participants). I dominated my pool which included "Sensei" (I beat 2 wins and 0 losses) and "Chudat" (2 wins and 1 loss) and I 2-0 the rest of the pool. Overall, I got ninth in the tournament. Best tournament I ever had.
-Me and "Shinku" beating "Azen," and "Chudat," in a friendlies team match in which they wanted to use us a guinea pigs.
-Accidentally stealing "Chudat's" wii-remote, which I still have.
-Me saying bad things about "G-Reg" standing right behind him without knowing he was there.
-Beating "Chillindude829" the first time I ever played him, without knowing who he was. That was at the second tournament I ever went to, February 3, 2007. He decided to go ahead and destroy me everytime after that. Made sure he put me in my place.
-Using "Aho" to check on my progression with my Mario skills.
-Beating "AlphaZealot" (he was playing Peach). I believe I got seventh overall in that tournament.
-Getting destroyed by "Neo," so badly that in the middle of the match, I almost decided to pull out my controller and forfeit.
Looking back at it.... Good times... good times... but a waste of time too. I did have fun playing in tournaments, but by the end of the day (when I would get home) I realized, I had done nothing. I could have improved on my writing skills, my art skills, general things that I intend on getting into in the future, but instead I spent the days playing videogames.
I said that I would never go to another game tournament ever again, but there is a Soul Calibur tournament tomorrow, and a lot of my collegues are going to it, so I will be going to it too. But this will be the only one I ever go to. I suck at Soul Calibur anyway.
