finally
when biz is picked up, and lucky, sfat, Wes, and axe are all without sponsors..
Well, sfat and Lucky are just good fox players which is probably why they don't have sponsors. Where as Bizzaro Flame is one of the best Ganon players and quite a good player in general (not sayin he is better than Lucky and Sfat), that's probably why he got a sponsor.
Axe should have a sponsor.
Westballz definitely deserves a sponsor after his recent performance.

It's unfortunate but it's not like this is unique to smash or something
That being said the fact that Westballz has no sponsor is absurd to me. Especially given how much most(all ?) smashers I know like to watch him.
also, playing in stock of champions this saturday. Don't think any of the regular posters in this thread are in Ann Arbor but it'd be fun to see TL people if you happen to be there.
Super rusty since moving so we'll see how it goes lol. Japanese pool format seems interesting and should give me some decent games I think.

He doesn't exactly have a good reputation outside of the game
He's been called out for doing Adderall at tournaments (not this Mayhem) and he's generally considered a bit of a dick who hasn't really done anything to market himself. Compare that to other sponsored players who get on commentary, have popular streams, were featured in the documentary, etc. He also johns a fuck ton and is not known to have a good attitude, often shooting himself in the foot by sandbagging or forfeiting

one of my top 5 smash moments was watching a player from my city beat westballz in bracket 2-1 after he went DK. the feelz were so real <3
well, i made it out of pools today at my local, but i'm so so so slow out of shield, and still bad at recovering ugh
my friend ycz finally beat homemadewaffles though, getting 3rd (losing to shroomed / alan)! especially impressive since brandon is really really good vs samus, since he has a ton of darrell practice
I got a question if anyone is willing to answer it. I'm trying to find out what kind of capture card i need in order to stream Super Smash Bros for the Wii U onto Twitch? Also what brand so i be looking to get exactly. Thanks
forgot to post post-tournament but MAN I gotta work on my mental state when it comes to tourneys D: D:
went 2-4 at stock of champions but won the first game of both of my bo3s and then lost the next two. I'm super busy so I went in with no practice but still my games were totally winnable. Super frustrating.
w.e. good to live in a town with an active tournament scene at least
