I went to a local tournament yesterday, and did pretty bad placing wise. I beat a random DK/MK with my day 2 Diddy Kong round 1. I had to face Lain round 2, brought him to game 3. I lost to his IC's game one as ROB because I accidently buffered a nair offstage thinking I had a jump, and it was really close too. Game 2 was silly, I CP'd him to Frigate and stayed ROB, he went MK, he suicided his first stock trying to SL me offstage, when he came back, he hit me onto one of those moving platforms that come in and out, and I tripped on it trying to return to the stage and died. I legit took his second stock, and my second stock was lost when the stage flipped as I was recovering high and it threw me off the top, but then he accidently tornado'd off the stage and died, lol. Dumbest match ever. Game 3, he took my ROB to BF as IC's and 2 stocked me because I wasn't expecting him to CG spike me twice. :/ After all of that though, he told me my ROB is really good, and he was shaky going IC's game 3 because my spacing was scaring him, lol. He also told me it was the most nervewracking set for him of the day, even though he won the whole thing.
In losers, I had to face Genosamus, a Samus player(obv) and lost a really close set, but I was Dedede. I wish I could go back and play ROB game 3.

I've realized I should put a lot more trust in my ROB, because I'm actually really good with him, and my Dedede feels like he's getting worse.

Dedede's so fat and was just combo fodder against Samus. I couldn't get in for a grab either, because every time I'd powershield everything, he'd drop onto the ledge, and if I followed him off, I'd get spiked. It was not fun. :/
Overall, I got 17th out of 28. I still don't know what it's like to get higher than 17th in a tournament, except the one 4th place I got out of 6 people, lol. I've definitely been improving lately, and I hope to do much better from here on out.
In doubles, I teamed with my roommate, Kappy, and we went ROB/Kirby most of the time. Our team name was BEN Drowned, and we used the tags BEN and DRWND.

We ended up getting 4th out of I think 8 teams. We lost to Arty/Sago in winners, and Lain/GIO in losers. I went Dedede in at least one game in both of those sets, because all the MK's were ****ing my ROB up, and I just stock tank so much better with Dedede.
So yay ROB.
