Hello everyone, how's it going. Brawl is here, finally. I like it, it's fun. Graphics are much improved, new characters are pretty spiffy, and there is soooo much content to get it's scary.
But with all that comes reduced speed, and the exclusion of all the advanced tactics that made Melee great. Oft have I tried to wavedash away to no avail. But that's not REALLY bad I guess.
So, did any of you go to you Gamestop midnight release? Me, urb, Scotty, and both my brothers competed at our closest one, making the player count 31, and we all made it past the first round. After that the middle brother lost to a Meta Knight (he played as Ike). The rest of us went on. In the 3rd round my smallest brother lost to the same kid who beat my other brother. Me, Scotty, and urb all went on. Then in the semifinals I beat urb (playing Marth) and Scotty (also Marth) beat the kid. I then beat Scotty in the finals (I played as fallen angel Pit).
So yeah it was fun. Last weekend I went on a two hour drive to play in the district tourney, and I lost in the semifinals to a nub Meta Knight. Urb and I had been practicing the night before, and I started playing as Olimar, and thought he was pretty cool and decided to play him in the tourney for a surprise factor. It didn't really work out, I wasn't aware of how awful his recovery is until the MK edge-guarded me twice. We played three minutes, all items on, with the Wiimote and nunchuck.
At least it was good experience.
So what else is new. Tennis is starting today. We have a record 14 people trying out this year. Besides that not a whole lot. I've been posting some of my SSBB matches on youtube. Even though everyone has the game now, I think they'd appreciate watching some amazing matches :)

SO This Is What's Been Going On...
I know that I usually have pretty lame excuses for not updating for a whole week, but this time I'm not BSing you guys...
My comp was running a bit slower than normal. Like snail slow. Then is started not doing things like opening programs and stuff. So I took it to the shop, and they said there that I had some of the worst viruses that they've seen, and that one of my hard-drives was corrupted, nothing ran, and that they had to reload all of my software from scratch to salvage it. Well three days and $260.06 later, I have my compy back, and it's running MUCH better than it has in a long time. And it's all clean, they got all the dust off for me. I'm now running two 120GBs and one 80GB hard-drives, with no RAID memory (they had to remove it, so no more super-fast-boot :( ). I also got a 150 (or something around there) GB external hard-drive to back stuff up. It's blue and shiny.
Then I had to go about reloading my *important* apps, like Firefox and Photoshop and GoLive (without which I cannot post on the site!). But see, I've had this comp for five or so years already, and I lost a all my passwords when reloading stuff.
Needless to say, I've clicked on quite a few of those "Lost your password?" links. But GoDaddy.com, the site I use to host Urgoogle, has super-tight security, and because of it I got very frustrated trying to get all the little nit-picky things right. Then, to make matters worse,
CuteFTP (my uploader app) needs like four passwords and a bunch of stuff I don't have anymore! AAGGGKKHH!
Ohhhhhkay, that's enough venting. Brawl comes out in a little less than 24 hours. That's something to look forward to, let's talk about that! So urb and I entered the Gamestop SSBB release tourney (hailed as the biggest tourney in the world). Then my brother and Scotty wanted to come too. Now I'm driving like six people to the store, with my littlest brother in the trunk on the interstate! That's reeeeally safe at 10:30 at night.
Mmmmk bye that's all.
