Well I'm back from my tournament! I did really well, It was a national level tournament, and I came 4th, aswell as winning my pool!
I got top seed in my Pool, Also being the only guy to not lose a single game in Pools, I consider this a pretty good achievment considering I 2nd seeded when being put into the pools.
Anyway, Onto the bracket, Got a bye and then Played Cong, A diddy who I always go even with, Sadly he learnt the Ike MU since the last time I beat him, And I lost 2-1, Last game was incredibly close though.Into Losers Bracket, I had to face the top Olimar main, Pafos. He had been sent to losers very early on. And I actually 2-0'd him in probably the best match I had played all Day. It got mad hype, I scared him into Air-dodging past the stage with Fsmash on the last stock game 2, As I ended game 1 with an Fsmash. Sadly, it didnt get saved.
Then Played A fox who was in my pool, Beat her 2-0 again.
Then onto Loz8Ichimaru, Our resident Pit main, It went 2-1 to me in an incredibly close set that lasted nearly half an hour. It was probably the most boring, slow, methodical match to ever exist. But I won so that's all that matters.
Next I had to play Sinth, A snake who was the original 1st seed in my pool, He stepped it up loads in bracket and beat me 2-1 to make me finish 4th in the whole tournament. This set was really REALLY close, I'll post a video when it gets put on youtube.

Did the Pit plank all game?

He was pretty much forced to, I would get him off stage and then not let him back on, I've never used F-throw/Pummel so much in my life.

Yeah, that's how my matches with him went last year, and how most of my games vs any Pit and ROB players turn out too XD so stressing.

To be honest, It was my exact game plan and I'm glad it went as it did, It went to game 3 becaus I SD'd game 2. but it would have gone to time, and it would have been ledgegrab victory. I didn't get to play any ROBs this tournament. Our only one is J.miller, which is just as well really

I'm replaying Radiant Dawn
And I have had two people (I forget who-- I just remember number) miss both attacks on 92% hit and 94% hit, respectively.
Wasn't crucial, though. Just annoying. I think one of them was Mia and the other was Edward.
Btw hi guys. Been a while since I've shown up here.

Also OoS upB is bad not because people can DI it when they think it's coming, but
because people will always DI the first hit by accident. People never expect to be hit by the first hit of Aether. But when they get hit, they're rarely getting hit by the rest. Most people expecting a jab will hold away at the very least. So when they hold away and get hit by upB, mehhhh.

Better be Ilyana.

I actually don't know. I've been pretty even this time through, and I gave Ilyana more BEXP instead of giving her all the last hits.
I could still make it Ilyana, though. This I promise you.

What decides the date of the ramadan each year ? Does it have to do with the moon calendar ?
Right in the middle of the summer, I can't fathom how hard it must be to not be able to drink during the day.
I'm thinking of using bthrow>sideB on opponents who have retained their RCO lag. Bthrow>dash attack seems like a waste, Bthrow>usmash doesn't work past like 65%. Maybe bthrow>fair, although I'd rather use sideB (if it works) since it's okay to stale it.

Lunar calender is how i like to refer to it as, but yea that is what we use. Basically the start of a new moon begins a month and since there are like 9 days not accounted for a full revolution which is why ramadan is never on a static date on a solar calender
As for surviving without water, that's easy, just takes willpower. Considering Islam started in a desert, this is a cake walk to back then. My main concern is trying to not waste my time by trying to pass it too much.
Side B is a terrible attack uncharged. Though this might make a nice mind game.. I'mma have to try baiting out a spot dodge after a bthrow.

Yeah, when I think about that too, I'm like "wtf".
@sideB well in this scenario, it'd be to hit the opponent while he lags on the ground due to his RCO lag, so it wouldn't be unsafe -as long as the opponent is at high enough % so that we don't get punished after the sideB connects.

Bthrow>DA seems like a waste until you hit them offstage. And then get free % edgeguarding. >_> I'd just stick to that, or maybe dash shield>jab at lower %s.

Haven't really had time to post. Been too busy in the corporate world + fasting. Here's my daily routine at work.

Looked to improve upon 4th place...AAAAND i got 4th again.
I threw it away though, A grand total of 4 SD's in the set cost me the entire thing. Regardless, It was fun

Hey guys, I'm in DC right now so that's why I'm not on right now. I need some help with the Peach MU and the TL MU. Inputs?

Toon link likes to hide behind a wall of projectiles. Based on what I play normally, I can say that you will be jabbing and fast fall nairing/fairing a lot. Also, if you can find a gap I do QuickDraw to jab/ grab a lot. But then again, I can read this toon link like the back of my hand. I can't help with the peach MU, but I assume power shield retreating fairs andjavs will be the best bet there.

Just about every other move toon link uses is highly punishable...look for those openings and wreck shop. Rave is 100% correct about jabs. Combat walking is hella hard for a TL to get out of until its done a lot of damage. Up tilt is great for when the TL trys to get in close after his inevitable projectile wall spam.
