Imagine thinking 30 people for a weekly is low. Bruh come to Kentucky. Our regionals are filled with like 20 people from Lexington, 20 from Louisville, like 5 goblins who make the trek out of Mordor (Eastern KY), and then Butter, wherever the hell Butter is from.

I had this video show up in my recommended a couple months ago and long story short, I now know 1000x more about NASCAR than I ever did

[@matd2892]

Check out EmpLemon for a great Playlist called never again. Has a hungry box episode and a dale Earnhardt video. And a wwf episode. So good.

[@MrBoozeCrooze]

Oh hey, this is my scene. My first PM regional, actually. One of the PM pools didn't finish so the final pot ended up being split 33 ways, so we didn't even walk away with 15 bucks. That's was a long 3 hour drive back home. Didn't go to another large event until Riptide after this lol

[@JackgarPrime]

You just know, with all the overcrowding and heat, that it smelled CRAZY in that venue while the tourney was going!

[@Hitmonchu]

OOOOO finally seeing coney react to the olympus video, this is gonna be a super good watch Also i too was at apex 2015 and learned that the actual reason the fire alarm went off was cause someone hung up their towels on the sprinklers for some reason and it flooded the entire floor they were on. I was in the room directly next to that person and all my clothes for the weekend got soaked.

Coney talking about the old days of smash is some of my favorite content. My man's the village elder telling tales at the campfire

[@LegendaryMythril]

hey, at least the splitter didn't come with a power source 10x stronger than intended that fried the stream set up and two monitors, and left the whole venue smelling like burned circuits.

This is legitimately one of my favorite videos. Slapshoes' made a masterpiece with this one

[@2000Doriyas]

I feel like you’re just sucked in by the gravity of a real life story, maybe that’s what makes it stand out as a video

[@erica2980]

50 dollars for a weekend of work is disgusting. That made me physically ill.

[@foxtrotSC]

As a south carolina smash player myself, I would say that the community has gotten a good bit better since this tournament. This year has been pretty big for the tournaments with weekly tournaments happening on Mondays and Wednesdays and the smash Arcadian coming up in September, the smash community is super cool and are just some of the coolest people in the smash scene today

[@EllieMiller510]

I love how much the community just kinda makes do with what we’re given.

10:08 when coney is talking about the friendlys and how smash players only want to play smash it is the funniest things i have seen on this platform

[@spaceglaceon2077]

I like how Coney is talking about any smash event under 40 entrants is a dead scene or something like that yet I’ve never been to a local more than 30 entrants and I’ve been in the scene for over a year

Question: do smashers really think that their game is the little guy or do they just know they are top dog
