[120 / 21 / ?]
Right. I'm back from the Nintendo UK Winter Event. Yesterday was a long day, starting for me at 7AM, and finally getting home about 11:30PM. I didn't update last night because I was fucking tired. Here is an overview of the day>Wake up at 7:15, don my Ow The Edge shirt and get ready to head to the station with my friend >On the way to the station a woman comes around a corner ahead of us and keeps going the same way >She has a pair of pink panties just hanging off of her bag, she clearly had no idea they were there >The two of us are just hanging back trying to figure out how the hell you tell someone that >Decide not to, and just hang back trying to suppress our laughter >Other people pass her, no-one else mentions it >Eventually she goes a different way and we arrive at the station >Get on train, a few stops later a guy gets on the train, asks the conductor if he and his girlfriend can go in First Class because it's his birthday on Monday >Conductor says sure, then turns to the two of us and asks if we want to go in too, we go and sit in First Class up to London >Get something to eat and then meet up with other two qualifiers from my city and our representative from StreetPass UK >Tube to just around the corner from the event >IT BEGINS

Sorry your match didn't go well. Did it seem like there was a lot of "skilled" players there? Meaning, regular people who have some idea how to battle, or was it mostly just kiddies?
OP !!n9AgPBuCKQe
This guy is Foodking. He didn't qualify for the tournament, but he decided to come along anyway to come along anyway. If "Foodking is the champ" and "Foodking for the win" then why the hell didn't he qua- Oh right, I beat him at my qualifier, and he got knocked out at the other anon's qualifier.
OP !!n9AgPBuCKQe
>>16546495 Yes, it was pretty much all skilled players, in order to be there you had to have placed top 3 in various tournaments that were held prior across the country.
Here's the group photo that I'm in.
This isn't all the players because a coach load of players turned up late, this was before everyone went in, and there were a lot of people off to the side too.
I'm off to the right.

Shit, I had no idea this event was on! God-fucking-dammit, I would have gone otherwise.
>>16546496 This guy is an ass. Saw him at VGC13. He got thrashed multiple times then sounded surprised when he didn't get through to the finals.
There was one shining moment though when he fell over and physically couldn't get up by himself. When someone eventually rolled him over and got him back on his feet he was huffing and puffing for ages afterwards. Fucking hilarious.

For those interested, which is probably zero, the reason I did this whole thing was because this was my last attempt at competitive battling.
