Ngl it was pretty shitty of your friends to completely flop on running the bracket and then letting you take the fall for the entire event. Getting away from that shitshow was probably the best thing for you. Hope you're doing better now bro.
I think the lesson though is to not crash out when people have negative feedback. I understand that you were younger and that this was a difficult situation to process, but as a current melee TO, I will say that my tournaments became a lot better once I stopped taking negative feedback personally and instead did my best to address the shortcomings of my events. I do not want this to come off as me attacking you, I commend you for your efforts to host an event. I hope you’ve been well since leaving melee.
Hey man, just a random guy from the mexican melee community here. I completely agree with what you've said during the video, people can be pretty ungrateful with TO's sometimes and I think it's cuz they simply don't understand how hard it is to run a tournament (logistics, money, time). I also wanna say that you unlucked so many of my highschool/college memories (y'know, being with the boys and be competitive with each other and all that). It was very delightful to see someone else sharing the same love I have for smash. Melee community can be hard sometimes but I do personally think it's all worth it in the end due to all of the growth you get in exchange (competitiveness, sense of community/belonging, memories). Anyways, great video man! I'm sorry you had to endure a bad experience from it, and thank you for trying to host a local in your town :)
I was reminiscing about ShortBloom, the racist Mii Gunner main, and while rewatching his insanely funny mii gunner combo video this got recommended to me. So I thought this was his new alt account. Oh well, he shall remain in the shadows
the real culprits here are 100% your friends who didnt run the bracket, like cmon man this is a tournament not just som hangout, where im from normally people would care about even their own bracket, its unbelievable that not a single one participant cared about moving the tournament along and then had the balls to trash talk about how bad it was, its a community effort. If they didnt want to run it or couldnt they should have told you so you could someone else to cover for you as TO
Joe's story at the start is my story. I got cooked online by a good friend, and I got pissed, so gradually I became better than him. Currently, I am still able to 3 stock him. Edit: From one Smash player to another; from one person to another, you are only human. Taking all of what you said at face value, keep in mind your friends were just 20 too. I am 22, there were things that happened, I can relate to that I wish my friends backed me, they were also teenagers like me. They were learning from my mistake. Also people are cowards, everyone wants to be accepted. I have been bandwagoned, I have done bandwagoning. I am human just like you. You are older and likely more/mature than I am so I know you understand this already. There was no one to defend you, there is always a person on the planet who would if they were in the roght place at the right time. Probably could've prevented a crash out.
Maaannn you didn't deserve that. The cause of the problems were so not your fault, and if they wanted a tournament so badly, they should've taken responsibility for *the role they were knowingly given* by you and made it happen. Regardless, good vid and story!
Honestly with all stuff that happens in the smash scene im surprised you got banned chudat did way worse things and he is looked at with great fondness
@@666blaziken Did some schizoposting about his private life on a forum ages ago, hard to say if cancellation-worthy because it's all impossible to verify and never resulted in "allegations." Best not to go down that rabbit hole. Also, infamous trolling antics at locals - finessing people out of money matches, screwing around with ledgegrab limit or wobbling at private events, entering into a bracket meant for noobs & kids to play serious, etc.
I have good news, this is about to hit the algorithm hard
yep. this was on my reccomended
Hit my recommended HARD
great story man i crushed my quarter pounder listening to this
currently eating a chicken sandwich while watching

Man I've been there, I used to run tournaments in HS and college some people are just awful.
Granted, the Smash community is pretty rough.

This is true man, and I still love watching melee! I haven't played in a while tho...

Nice video dude. Keep it up❤
Nice video! I liked the way you told the story as well as the drawings.

Story time videos are always fun, and this is a damn good video too
