Alright, I'm heading back to Denmark in a few days with Navn and Jonas. The main purpose of the trip was to experience America, but I ended up playing some smash here and there anyway. Here are some of my wins/loses against some of the American players I got to play against. I might have forgot a few and there might be some mistakes, but whatever.
Tournament (Evo, local smash fest, tournament at the game center in Norcal)
3-3 Scar (2-1 for me at Evo, 1-2 for him at gc tournament. Both sets are recorded)
2-0 DEHF (3 stock, 1 stock. The set is recorded)
2-1 Redd (he 3 stocked first game, then I won the next two)
0-2 Westballs (I was up 3 stocks to 1 in the first game, but he ended up beating me both games with one stock. Last game is recorded)
0-2 S2J (2 stock, 1 stock)
0-2 DP (I played this guy in a lot of friendlies the day before the tournament where we played more or less even. Then he outplayed me in the tournament. This guy is really good)
0-2 Darrell (I think i was two 1 stocks high %. Not sure. It was close anyway. The set is recorded)
6-4 Okami (he beat me 3-0 with Sheik in WFs of a local smash fest. Then I beat his Sheik 3-0 in GFs 1, and 3-1 in GFs 2 where he won 1 game with Peach and lost a total of 3 games with Young Link, Sheik, and Peach.
5-1 O'RLY (Don't remember. He got grabbed a lot. Last game was a 3 stock)
4-1 Violence (I played this guy once in pools and once in bracket in NorCal)
2-0 Phil (I won first by making a 0 to KO comeback with my Sopo on my last stock. 2nd game was a 3 stock IIRC. The set is recorded.

That's it for now. Good games everyone. You American guys are pretty cool. I'll be back again at some point.
I think I'll write a Wobbling Set-up guide once I'm back in Denmark as I think this is something pretty much everyone here can get a lot better at. I have a lot of neat tricks and some general advice that will make your wobbling experience even better.
Here are some notes I wrote. These are pretty much reminders to myself, but I thought I would share them as they might be useful for some of you as well:
Do
- Care more about your shield; if your shield is small, stall a little.
- Bait more against players who know the match up/ know the spacing
- Shield baiting is great; approach with shield, then retreat when you think they are going to approach you and punish them.
- Slow and safe wob. set-ups at high %; Fast and more risky at low %
- When in doubt make sure you control the center stage.
- Be patient when edge guarding firefox; always be ready to hit illusions
Don't
- Synced side-b isn't a safe way to recover/save Nana; trying to save Nana isn't always he best thing ti do
- Don't down-smash every time you CC (bad habit)
- Don's WD/dashforward at short distance unless you get a read/ are over shooting
- Don't shield all the time
- Don't keep holding direction when rolling
- Don't sandbag with your main
- Don't try to tech right away every time you get hit (bad habit)
- Don't go to he very end of the stage unless you're going for a read
i opted to watch SF and Marvel semifinals rather than play melee
