When you lose to good Yoshi, typically, you lose to his gay counterpick and your initial surprise at a good Yoshi player.
(I just lost to one this weekend and I'm mad about it). Would've had him on a normal (not Norfair) stage. I didn't think to ban norfair because I nearly always ban Cruise when the char I'm playing will take me to a gay stage. he had 6 ledges to throw eggs at me from...not fun. it's my own fault i guess, i threw away the first match when i should have been more cautious until i figured him out, jv 2-ed him on my cp (the same neutral we started on). i wont lose to anymore yoshis though, unless its polt (i assume he's a good deal better than the rest of the good yoshis).
i also talked to a friend before i even went to the tournament, and he said that there wasn't anyone going that i couldn't beat, and i told him that arty was going and i couldn't beat him. sure enough, who do i get to play in losers but arty (he plays falco in case you guys dont know him, i assume you guys know him as the falco that beat dojo at columbus). despite misconceptions, i really am not that good against falco and i did not beat him.
i got 13 of 71, which isnt terrible, but could've been better. the only good person i beat at the tournament was a mk from minnesota, so at least i'm still beating mk. i swear...if i could have a bracket full of mks i'd be so happy.

here is the results thread.
i got third in doubles, as usual...someday i'm getting first, but i fear i'll have to be teaming with some high tier char
mkto do it.
