Not my best showing, I have a bit of a head cold, and it was getting to me. /johns
I managed to make it out of pools with 4th seed, and went 0-2 in bracket.
In pools:
Beat Gio (not MI Gio) 2-0, I 2-stocked his
game 1, and 3-stocked his
game 2.
Lost to JJRocket's
0-2. Both close games, but bananas overwhelmed me, and JJ is a very good player. He ended up getting 3rd in the tournament after getting sent to losers first round of bracket.
Lost to RRR's
0-2. I suicided once each game because I was playing dumb and wasted too much fuel attempting to do fancy wavebounce stuff. I learned my lesson for next time.
Beat Foodies'
2-1. I won game 1, she won game 2, both were very close. Then I just counterpicked RC and I ended up 2-stocking her. The set will probably be on Youtube eventually, she saved the replays on her Wii.
Beat CFH's
2-0. Game 1 I beat him with ROB, but I wasn't punishing his obvious rolls as well as I felt I could, so I went Peach game 2 and baired him every time he rolled or landed, and I think I ended up 3-stocking him, but I don't remember anymore.
Lost to Legan 1-2. Game 1 I beat his
, game 2 he went
and it was very close, I almost brought back an entire stock deficit, but he got me with a fresh tipper fair to end it. Game 3 I tried RC, and it was close, but he beat me. I'm gonna try to stick to more neutrals and Frigate/Halberd, I think.
In bracket:
Lost to Akashi's
0-2. Game 1 I was just playing so bad, not paying attention to where he was placing things, and just getting hit by everything. I think he 2-stocked me. I wasn't really feeling ROB anymore at that point, and ended up going
game 2, and brought it to last hit.
Lost to Hadesblade 1-2. Verrrrry close set. Game 1 was last hit iirc, his
, my
. Game 2 I 2-stocked him on Frigate with 2 very clutch spikes. Game 3, he went to Pokemon Stadium 1. I knew he was gonna CP
, but I'm not comfortable enough with any other character to risk having him stay Yoshi instead, so I stuck with ROB. It was last hit, but the only attack I could land on him was nair, and it was so stale, I think he got up to 160%, and nair would send him nowhere. I just couldn't land the killing blow, and I lost because of it.
Overall, I know I can do a lot better than this, I'm just happy I made bracket for now. I might take a short ROB break again, those seem to do wonders for my terrible habits I can never seem to get over with him.
