Went to a tourney yesterday
I kinda sandbagged in pools so I kinda owned myself bracket wise. Let's this be a lesson, don't under perform in pools lol

I drew an IC first round and lost. Tore through losers. It was funny because I played literally EVERYONE in my pool all in a row. Got my revenge against Broken Kong. Riding all this momentum, but then drew the same IC in Loser's Semis.

Miracle Run from Loser's bracket over.

Used IC for a single set yesterday and actually won against a player I considered a threat. Everything went better than expected.

On that note, i got 2nd at a tournament yesterday with my rusty self lol. I got knocked into losers round 2 by mjg, and tore through losers, almost losing the majority of sets i played but making amazing comebacks lol and somehow winning. Was the most clutch i've ever played.

By amazing comeback he means he almost lost to Yoshi.

He had that disease every IC has which is approaching Yoshi, landing or otherwise, without an IB covering them, so he got Pivot grabbed and Egg Layed everywhere ;)

I read what you meant, but I don't understand how I'm straining

I'm like a giant gimmick

chill, wait for him to come and spam ibs. once he approaches a good spaced blizz is a grab. squall is pretty amazing vs DK, especially when he does down-b, shielding that **** is scary lol. If dk touches you, your dead ^^
if hes on a platform spam uairs and rack up damage. ics outcamp this mu hard if you relax :p

and you still almost lost to me



It was the first time I've played vbrawl DK since last ogre smash. I've been spending all my time messing with brawl-.
I didn't almost lose to you lol I 2-0ed you. The only time you've beaten me I just didn't care, as evidenced by the fact that I lost to pretty much everyone else at that tournament lol. Every other time we've played I've 2-0ed you.

Also, I'm incredibly rusty and haven't played in forever pretty much as well.

Dear Broken Kong,

You've convinced me single handedly the matchup is only +1 despite the terms of our MU Match that dictated you must now declare it as +3.

That is the level of amazement I have for Broken Kong.

Sincerely,
DeLux

Dear Lux,

I am the true IC slayer. I have beaten Lain/Future/You/Smoom/Cheese in the last year in IC dittos, mm or tournament.

The IC vs Hylian match-up is -5.

Love,
The shell of his formal self Hylian.


Edit:

LOL ESAM

you think you have to think vs. TL?

DK vs. ICs is exhausting. so much double checking on if you're going to land safely and the constant reminder that even if they hit you, you shouldn't care

Ok. Imagine that mentality Ripple, and imagine doing that with two characters. And you have to care if you get hit or you die.


Welcome to the TL matchup.

Welcome to the TL matchup.
that's every match up with them. that's normal.

it's when you have to do the opposite, that it becomes hard
