I was about to say I don't really care enough to rant, but I guess I'll just throw this out there since I support my boy. However, since I actually don't really care enough to rant, but am ranting anyways, you're getting a really half-***** one
--Sr. Arc placed the same as Bre and Li-D at LasT 3 and if I'm not mistaken, beat Bre in brackets. I know Li-D and Arc were in the same pool at LasT, but I don't know who placed higher or whatever.
--He got 5th at the most recent Dibbz tourney, which is higher than the other two have probably ever placed. Even though they weren't there, participation in tourneys counts as well right? So that's a point for him anyways.
--He's gotten 9th at one of the Gamewares, which I'm willing to say is higher than Li-D has ever placed (I don't know about Bre).
Ummm . . . I'm still pretty confident I can beat Li-D in a tournament set. I think even if he pulled MK out on me, I could handle him (I didn't know Shuttle Loop > GW's turtle when I played him+it was my first real tournament). I also believe MK would be his only hope because uhhhhh I don't lose Falco dittos. And I've had practice against Kirok/Moogle/Arc's Fox.
I don't know enough about Bre except that he beat me with Wario at the first Gameware. I also used GW against him though.
No disrepsect to either of those guys. I'm 100% sure they're both really good. Bre, I don't think I can beat. Li-D, I believe that I can, but it'd be really close. Li-D, if you ever read this, I'll MM you
Ultimately, if putting Li-D over Arc was done on purpose to "motivate" him, I think it's a bit silly because I can see him trying just as hard (if not harder) to improve his position. If it was done because you guys genuinely believe Li-D is better than Arc, I think you made a pretty big oversight.
PS. If Sars played in LA enough, I think he'd definitely be up there. His pool and bracket at LasT 3 was hella hard: Cyphus and Esca. The guy knows his **** about the game and is really versatile with a lot of characters. He placed higher than Arc at NONQM and if he stays long enough to play next week's Gameware, I think he'll outplace him there too. Where would he be exactly? I'd say at the lowest 8.
PSS. Why did Pierre drop out? Not active enough? The guy is beast.
Final PSSSS. Everybody's awesome and I love all LA smashers so sorry if I offended anybody<3
Cyphus is a super nice and awesome guy with or without his beard. He still has super flexibility.
