But sadly, I don't have any videos to go along with the stories.
I got eliminated first round in two close matches with a Peach, and shortly played my first round in the losers bracket.
Then I just barely lost to the kid's Ganondorf (I should probably get shot for losing to one). I pulled off a hell of a wall at one point to even it out (something similar to what King pulled off in his combo video), but I kept getting greedy and got in too close when I knew I shouldn't have. Also, I cancelled a spike I thought I had no chance at cancelling, so I burned the remainder of my jumps but one, did a couple rising pounds, used my last jump, then had the bright idea to Up-B
.
Second match, I take him to Jungle Japes, he picks ICs. As expected, I played campy (though not as campy as I should have, but that gets explained now). I got overly greedy at some points, and one time I ended up getting wobbled (weird-*** wobble though, it involved a series of Nana down B's....probably could've broken it had I actually focused on it, I just smash my control stick / C stick in every direction combination possible). So we get to 3 minutes left, and we're both fresh on our last stocks, with me camping the left platform. He's afraid to come over to me because he doesn't want walled, I'm afraid to go over because I'll get wobbled. So we get to about 15 seconds left, and I've taken roughly 60 damage from ice blocks because I wasn't paying full attention >.>. He starts chasing me down, and hits me with an Up B. The up B would have killed me, but time ran out. SUDDEN DEATH! I immediately go to the right platform, and he goes back to ice block camping. I soon start to move, and he jumps, does an aerial, and as soon as he lands, I catch him with an up air to end it ^_^. Everyone around went nuts.
The only thing special about the last match was how well I had this kid mindgamed. He wanted FoD, I stayed Jiggs, he played Marth. About halfway through the match, all I had to do was jump to get him to counter. I shoulda done some rests, but I 'tarded out....
I'm sad overall about that set. I know I can beat him x_x, I just made some stupid mistakes in every match, mistakes that I picked out as I made 'em x_x.
