Turns out I DID go to the tourney I spammed about earlier today, and I got fucked up by a Dedede in my loser's bracket match. 1-1, even until the 3rd stock, then I just kinda played "eh" and he lit me up. Mid 1 stock, I got raaaaaaped. The guy went on to get top 4 or something.
Anyhoo, pretty identical to my last tourney: lose round 1 winner's match, beat first opponent in loser's, then barely lose in 3rd round. I screwed up on my only goal of getting Top 8, I got 9th out of 20.
Played about 4 hours of friendlies with a few people afterward, did really well. A Game + Watch won the tourney, and I can see why, I played him in friendlies before the tourney and got raped pretty hard. A guy named Timotee, who's really good, got 2nd with his ownage Ness and Wario.
Oh, and I played my first money match and my first set in Melee ^.^ Barely lost the $1 MM and got dominated in Melee.
