HUMOROUS SIDE NOTE #1 – BEST OF VIDJOGAMER http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=29079 Vidjogamer had been around since near the beginning of Smashboards, but as many know, he was also very young. He regularly got into heated debates with the veterans of California, and in a final straw moment Mattdeezie composed the “Best of Our Friend Vidjo” post in the Melee Back Room, including this particular tidbit. “next stop on our tribute, is the crouch cancelling topic. This topic was once dead. It was a two page rigerous debate on the effectiveness of crouch cancelling over 6 months ago. However, something was left out, a superb tactic that we all failed to miss. Lets hear it from the words of none other than vidjo himself. Quote: Originally posted by Vidjo just throw turnips untill he comes at you then give him what hes coming for. BOOM! Whats he coming for Vidjo? A peach BEATDOWN, thats what hes coming for. Im appauld that you all missed that...I deem you all scrubs.” – MattDeezie Yes, it was inappropriate of Matt to pick on our friend Vidjo, who was so much younger than him. He was only 14 at the time, and we all know now of his advancement since those days. However, traveling the days of years gone by help us to learn the lessons of the future. Congratulations Vidjo, this tribute is for you. Asmogian – Ohio’s First Interstate Tournament – October 11th, 2003 http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=31229 The Asmogian tournament was hosted by the Columbus smash players. Fusegen, Smog, Supernova, and Vocal rented a club house in the woods that was the perfect retreat for Smash players. While Fusegen and Smog had already established themselves as solid players, Vocal was a smasher who had recently come onto the scene, and while he was not yet at the height of his game he would continue to grow from this point. Also, the Columbus crew, including Vocal, Smog, Fusegen, PimpLuigi, and Supernova took on the crew name of Equals D, continuing the trend of players banding together under common banners. The rules had not seen much evolution to this point in the Midwest. This is the first post yet in a Midwest thread regarding a neutral stage list of any kind, and the advice was not taken for this tournament. “Anyway, Smog, perhaps it is too late to make suggestions to the rules at this point, but I am all for experimenting with some of the ideas floating around about the no items and "sacred seven" stages only for the random stage at least. Actually, I'm a REALLY big fan of the 7 stages only for random Also, I don't like cloaking devices or stars. Especially stars. I laugh when people say you just have to run away from someone when they get those items so it's fair...yeah.” – KishPrime Later some of this comes into effect for Flame of Bowser. The first avatar match was held at this tournament. David Kirk, an Ohio regular for some time but one who rarely traveled, used the same Fox avatar as KishSquared, and was thus challenged to a match when Squared got confused over who was posting. Squared defeated Kirk in the Fox ditto, thus being forced to remove his avatar. Kirk was later quoted as saying “I don’t even play Fox, I just thought the icon was cool,” and jokingly called Squared a bully. This was also the first appearance of the team that would later be known as “Kishwho?” KishPrime and KishSquared played on a team for the first time with mediocre results, but with KishCubed as Squared’s regular partner they practiced little together until much later. Eduardo continued to not attend out-of-state events, and Eddie teamed with SBP. The bracket played out much as expected, and it came down to Kishwho? vs. Hail to the Chimp in the winner’s finals. Hail soundly defeated Kishwho? and then finished off SBP/Eddie to win the tournament in a closely contested set. Teams tactics were beginning to become more evident, and Hail’s trademark was first pulled off here. “I can't believe Iggy was able to pull off the infinite combo thing with Peach where I hold em and he downsmashes...I've never seen that get off, neato.” – Joshu Fusegen and Smog also started to show off their team, Team Xero, which would score several nice placings and be a strong teams threat before it was disbanded. As for singles, Eddie suffered his first bracket loss to KishSquared while experimenting with other characters for the first time, but that didn’t stop him from switching to Ganon and charging back through the loser’s bracket to beat Squared in a rematch and Joshu in two straight sets. Results are sketchy, but this should be close. Teams: 1st: Hail to the Chimp 2nd: SBP and Eddie 3rd: KishPrime/KishSquared 4th: Fusegen and Smog 1v1 1st: Eddie 2nd: Joshu 3rd: KishSquared 4th: Fusegen 5th: KishPrime 5th: V 7th: Iggy 7th: Vocal Eddie’s grip on the Midwest was still secure, and far from being broken. He was confident enough in his dominance that he continued to experiment with other characters until he would reach the loser’s bracket at many tournaments in the next 5-6 months, becoming one of the most diverse players in the Midwest. Still, it took a long time until he could fully remove himself from his Ganon heritage.
