RESSHOUMANIA was a fucking blast as expected, and I’m really glad I didn’t get blasted on travel this year so I could actually enjoy it. Since I actually won the travel matchup I got to experience an extremely fun weekend overall, which included a lot of mashing with a lot of friends I hadn’t seen for a while which was fantastic.

I’m very happy with how mine and Lanline’s showmatch went overall. Watching back the match a lot of the interactions went as I expected, I did get a bit aggro in more cases than I wanted to but it worked out so things were alright. I’m glad the Espada FT1 finale went well spectator-wise too, the trailer he did was so fucking sick that when I got back to the hotel I made sure to rewatch it so I could hear everything clearly.

But mostly, I was excited to play games all weekend and I think I (mostly) achieved this goal! I got to play a lot of familiar faces, and then a handful of new people too which I was excited about! I’m sure I could try to list everyone that I played over this weekend but I know I’d miss about half the folks I mashed with.

But, let’s cut to the chase here: The real reason I usually write these blog posts is to talk about where I’m at with the quality of my games at the moment. I had a lot of thoughts from this weekend of gaming, as there was no tournament to really focus on so it was nice to just play and think about games after. I think after talking with folks, the ones that I had to think the hardest about their advice were Bread and WhyHaveIDoneThis.

So I wanted to try a new format with a post-event write-up so I'm gonna with something I haven’t really done before: Putting together a positive note alongside every negative one so I can attempt to track progress. Will it be successful?? (Probably not but I’m trying)

Oh hey! It was nice to meet you this weekend! (I was the newer dizzy player asking you questions during your set w/ WHIDT at the afterparty)

It was great to meet you as well! Hopefully I was able to help out with some Dizzy stuff, I'm glad to see more folks playing her cause she's a blast. Again if there's anything I can help out with just let me know and I'd be happy to help out!

Really love this style of writeup, balancing all things as you would in a match.

Watching the event was a blast though! I'm glad y'all had such a good time! You're coming along insanely well.

I'm glad you liked it!! It felt a lot better than in some other ways I've written these before so I think I'm going to keep it up.

And also, thank youuuuuuuuu!!! I really do appreciate it Ryyudo

LMAOOOOO look give me a microphone and some lines and I can dig into the heel, but the moment it's time for games it's time to mash and see some cool shit.

It was great meeting you too!! We'll have to get more games in another time for sure.
