I can't believe it. I won BAM, the biggest Australian smash tournament of all time, while doing my biggest losers run ever, going from losers 17th to first. Winning a BAM was a dream of mine since it was my first tournament 7 years ago. So incredibly happy!
25th/1213 at Genesis. Incredibly happy with this result! I beat JDV, Omega, Gackt & more. Losing to Sparg0 and Ouch!?. Lost to Ouch!? 3-1, keeping it way closer so I'm happy with the improvement. Thanks everyone for your support. Stoked about this trip and will keep pushing!
Got randomly stopped by the Australian Border Police at the airport and had a fun convo
Her: "So what were you doing overseas?"
Me: "Playing in video game tournaments"
Her: "Oh yeah what was the name of the tournament?"
Me: "Scuffed World Tour"
Her: "..... Cool"

I got 4th at the most stacked Japan local called WINNER

today. I beat Eim, Hikaru, Suinoko and Ken! All from LR1 because I SD'd at 0 on game 3 in my first match 😅 I don't know what's in Japan's water but I'm so happy. I will keep doing my best here and Genesis 😎😇
Time for Genesis. I had an amazing time in Japan and I will be sure to come back soon. Thank you everyone for you support!
お招きいただきありがとうございました。日本ってすごいですね。皆さん、とても強いです。また近いうちに来ます!
Summit gets us to shake our pockets empty with no real benefit to our community, and the very high/probable risk of just wasting 10-30k ish, instead of using the funds in a more secure manner and sending multiple players to multiple big events we are at least GUARANTEED to go too
33rd/1024 at the most stacked Japanese tournament of all time. After a tough week, I'm really happy to have cleared my head and given my best for this tournament. I just got outplayed by two people who played better than me. Thanks everyone for all your support!
PGstats straight up lying on the NA PGRUV3 when they said Skittles holds the title of “Largest Tournament Win with Young Link in Ultimate.” Even though BAM12 had more entrants than LEVELUP Arena 4, meaning the 'title' is mine. Classic Aus slander LOL
帰国の時間です。日本の皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。いつものように素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができたし、みんなに会えたこと、会えたことがとても嬉しかった。また次回、お会いしましょう!
Home time. Had a fantastic trip in Japan as usual, but now TEARS OF THE KINGDOM TIME!!
I BEAT PELI LETS GOOO! Really happy to get the win! Was a really good match and he's a great player. Was pretty nervous against MkLeo, being the first match and all. But was happy with my performance almost taking a game. Time to rest up and focus on tomorrow. Thanks everyone ❤️
Won DAT Monday Meltdown (main London local) tonight over Fatality, Darkstalker, Skaws and others. Absolutely fucking diabolical. Happy with my performance and managed to implement some stuff I learned over the weekend. Time to go see London for a bit now.
Out at 33rd/1024. Definitely not a bad performance at all, though the losses sting hard. I've lost 3 last hit matches at my last 3 international majors... and it hurts. Still, I can feel myself playing better so maybe my time will come. I wish I could deal with nerves though 😢
Time for SWT. So excited for this opportunity and for sure gonna show the internationals how it's done. I've given it everything I've got so I'm ready. Aus won't be slept on after this trip, let's do this!
It's an unreal feeling being ranked number
#1
in Australia. Years of super hard work and endless amount of practice has paid off. Incredibly happy with this achievement. I'm gonna keep pushing myself harder this year to become a stronger player, improve Aus and put us on the map.
I won Smash Ultimate at Nintendo Live Sydney 2024! I’m really happy to the win. I practiced a lot harder for this event than usual, so I’m glad it still pays off. What a sick trophy. Thanks Nintendo for having me!
I'VE WON MY FIRST MAJOR OMG THE EMOTIONS ARE SO REAL.
Legit feels like a dream come true I've always wanted to win one. Happiest I've been in a while. GGs to everyone I've played over the weekend there were some incredible sets.
Out of SWT. Did my best but Anathema and Myran were too good. Not bad for my first international tournament, but I definitely struggled with jetlag and lack of experience. 3 majors to go, and this is only the beginning. Thanks everyone for all the support, so appreciated ❤️❤️
Made it out of round 1 pools winners side at Genesis without dropping a game today! Round 2 starts tomorrow at 11am VIC time for me. I have JDV (Pac-Man) and Sparg0 if I win. Top 64 continues right after. I will do my best!
Travelled across the world to lose to two -2 mus against two people who constantly practice and play against one of the best yls in the world, meanwhile I had no mu exp in either mus. Really rough. Oh well, out at 17th/630 for Wanted. On to boss battles now!
I won Lan Hero tonight in SoCal beating Kyros, Jsan, DD (🤣), Peckham, Zenyou and Sriks (🤣) Pretty good way to finish after a very rough day. Will hopefully keep this form up going into the weekend.
Unfortunate circumstances and definitely not the way I would have liked it to happen. But I am representing Oceania for the SWT Championship event this December. Regardless, I will still absolutely give it everything I've got and will do my best to make Aus proud.
Out at 17th/800ish? Really happy with my performance. Played a pretty poor winners match against quiK because I was so nervous, but I turned it around and made a decent losers run beating really solid players. Lost to icymist in losers. Definitely lacked high level Samus exp.
Got pulled over because there's a 'toilet seat' in my bag, and then they proceeded to share my trophy around with the airport security workers and they all had a quick laugh before giving it back
For anyone wondering, I play MkLeo at 3:40am and Peli 4:20am Melbourne time (Saturday morning), and then Myran and the LCQ the following day some time. (Schedule not out for that)

That's right. Sriks, RaZe and I are invading Europe. Time to show them how it's done!
I wake up this morning and the first thing I saw is my mate messaging me freaking out about me being in Poppt's video, and how broken I make yl look lol
Rough bracket and day but I will come back even stronger... Don't worry. You'll see me at Umebura and Genesis. Thanks so much for having me
@aidencalvin
@LudwigAhgren
grateful for the opportunity!
Just an update for events I'll be at over the next few months. Right now I'm attending:
- Mainstage
- SWT Championship
- Panda Cup LCQ
- Umebura Japan Major
- Genesis 9
Super keen to give another international push for Aus 🥳 This means I won't be at Pissmas or The Action :(
Thanks to everyone who's cheered or said supportive things to me. It really is appreciated and I'm super motivated for tomorrow. I don't feel nervous and I'm going to give it everything I've got. Can't wait! Time to rest up though
I play acola at 6:40am Melbourne time tomorrow, and then my next match around an hour after that and so on. Super excited for the opportunity and gonna give it my best. Been working super hard for this 😤
acola -> shuton/sonix -> sparg0 (most likely) for my run to winners finals is looking pretty solid after Sriks gives me a foot massage on Sunday morning
4th/129 at the NorCal regional today. Double eliminated by Chag, but really happy with how I went. Kept all matches close which shows I can compete with the top. Now I head back next Friday
I used to be really hesitant to tell girls (or people in general) that I play a video game competitively, but then I came to the realization that if they judge me about what I'm passionate about then fuck em.
Since the last lockdown, I haven't dropped a monthly. I won Super Sunshine 6, Nov Ranbat, Pixel 100 and Super Sunshine 7. I'm feeling super confident going into America and I've worked super hard leading up to it. I know I'll be a threat over there.
Despite being pretty generalist, most of Lucy's results are from Proto/Leon. Min Min is more split, though Proto is also

there, with Dabuz & 2 big regional talents rounding things out. JDizzle finally hits

Hey Folks. I've decided to open my Metafy account for Smash Ultimate coaching. I've still got some more plans to do international trips for Smash, and all funds I get through Metafy will help support me on these trips.
RTs appreciated and DMs are open!
Hope after TGX everyone is on board with banning Steve. Probably the most boring top 8 I can remember and it's thanks to Steve. He's boring as shit to watch and infuriating to play against. So unhealthy for the game and banning him saves ult.
Just boarded the flight back home. Thanks to everyone who supported me over this journey! I'll make my way back one day when the time is right, but I'm so glad I got this opportunity and can't wait to keep improving. Laters 🤙
Day 2: I am playing Anathema at 10:20am (2:20am Melbourne time) on the main stream () and then I play Myran an hour later at 3:20am Melbourne time on the main stream as well. I'm so pumped, I can do this!
Sitting next to two girls on the plane to BC2 and they ask what I'm doing in Adelaide for the weekend. After a lot of courage I tell them I'm going for a video game tournament and I'm

in Aus. Luckily they are impressed and want a tag in the tweet for clout
@FROMMYWIND0W
Made it through round 1 pools winners side at Umebura! Pretty nervous but still playing well so I'm happy. Round 2 of pools start at 7pm Melbourne time. Will keep going 😤
@Mr_RSmash
Yep and the one time I travelled in smash 4, I lost to MkLeo in losers for 49th at Hyrule Saga cause he got upset by Zaki. Aussie luck travelling internationally 👍
This really hurts... Stayed in the US since mid December only for Glitch and now Genesis to get postponed. (Understand why though.) Felt like I had so much more to give on this trip 😞
Hey all,
We've made the difficult decision to postpone G8 to April 15-17 due to COVID and operational concerns.

2nd in Phantom Singles and 1st for doubles. Really happy with my performance, but
@Dark_Wizzy_
is just too good. I learnt a lot from it, and it was a really good experience. Going to improve from it and become a better player
I'm so nervous I can barely hold the controller. I'm not playing like myself right now but I know if I can relax I'll be ok. This is tough cause I'm rarely ever in a situation like this 😅
My pool for UmeburaSP9 starts at 1:30pm Melbourne time tomorrow. The bracket goes all day until top 8 which I'll be playing in on Sunday 🤓 I'm feeling pretty confident, it's obviously super stacked but I have faith in myself to play well!
This is one of the worst, but most important days in smash history. Tragic all the stories that have come about and hopefully, this gets rid of all these fucking snakes. The community should be a safe place welcoming to everyone. Everyone deserves to feel safe playing smash.
Noot pre popped off on a fake kill screen on me, so I decided to start trying and won the game, then 3 stocked him the next game and 2 stocked him afterwards. Don't poke the bear
Really didn't play well today, pretty upset with my performance. Dropped a lot of combos and was super tense/stressed out. But I lost to people who played better than me. 3rd on a bad day isn't horrible though. Will keep working hard, until next time
Hey man, I know it's really tough. It's true the ladies love a man after his 1984873th Pixel win but don't worry. That'll be you one day to buddy. Keep at it champ!
picture this, you place second to jdizzle at a pixel, you both walk to the bar to get your winnings, we are talking and this cool girl walks up to us and talks to jono and says 'hey, are you the guy who won the smash tourney' Jono responds enthusiastically 'yeah that's me'
Out at 49th/800 at Hyrule Saga! Really happy with how the tournament went. Only losing to Abadango and MkLeo for 49th is unfortunate, but very respectable losses. Hope I did Australia proud! 3 more tournaments here so I'll see if I can keep going! Thanks everyone for your support
I don't think I've ever spent as much money on this trip compared to any other one before lmao. Akihabara is draining my money and Japanese food because it's so good. Japan is sick
Jdizzle really came all the way from Australia to France just to lose to Ramses and Space who practice and play vs Semmie's YL at practically every Dutch tournament 😭
unlucky
Not only have I've been subjected to ultimate Wi-Fi after not touching it for months. But I managed to qualify for SWT with less than 5 hours sleep and being hungover on both days after a weekend bender. Legendary
I've never been so cut, but I've never been happier for someone as well. Congratulations to
@DefectiveDagger
for taking that amazing set out. You deserved it and you had one coming. Enjoy it man.
I think the thing I'm most looking forward to in ultimate is that it's not on a console with a stupid name. So many people (normies) ask me what console I play smash on, and I say Wii U and they're like 'wtf is a Wii U?' It's so painful explaining it everytime.
This is proof to me about how important hard work is. Consistently pushing myself as hard as I can has gotten me to 71st in the world. Couldn't be happier, but as soon as this stuff is over you bet I'll be showing the world why I'm a force to be reckoned with.
JDizzle beating peli is actually so huge for ausmash. That guy literally won a major over gluttony not 2 months ago. Aus CAN compete at a worldwide level and we need to stop doubting ourselves.
Everyone thinks it's cool being a top player, but in reality, I've gotten to the point where I don't get clipped by
@RaZe_SSB
so I never gain free clout. I'd rather be a mid-level player like Seb and get clipped every time I play Bin so I get free clout
