No, the Brawloween tournament was actually my second one. I've only attended two so far. I know I'm getting better with more tournament experience. The more I go, the less nervous I become. At my first tournament I was so nervous that my hands couldn't stop shaking. :laugh:

And I KNOW that it doesn't count for the PR. I just wanted to post my results up anyways because I forgot to do so before. :dizzy:

I am going to a tourney on Saturday at chu's so hopefully I place and get on the PR with some points.

and no furbs there is no other way to earn points




Notice to all: you must go ALL yoshi for it to count no exceptons like "oooohhh it was only one round and I lost anyways."

If enough yoshi's start using secondaries then I will most likely just get rid of it

and Burnt UpB kill at 60% > Yoshi lol

do whateva you like for the money PR shouldn't stop you from trying harder to win

Sure. I'm kinda pooped out from the tourney. But I at least got a ****load of recognition ;)

And beating Reflex in a $1 MM is hella hard (his PT and Wario are amazing).
Yoster's got a beast Yoshi ;) just need to change up those things I told ya at the tourney.


And last but not least, Fair is a beast move. That it all

Scatz, that's... almost exactly the same as I placed in my first tournament. (At least I think I did, I couldn't find the results) o_O

My tourney I was at screwed me over they didn't do singles instead they did draft crews which isn't bad but I need to get on the board with some points.

Naw, it's not tourney experience that was lacking (I was doing really well throughout the tourney). It was my matchup experience, and knowledge of counterpicking that I failed at. I counter playing styles (which is what yoshi does best), so me not knowing alot of the character's matchups (more current ones) or not knowing which stages I need to ban made things harder than what I needed it to be.\

And some people just got plain lucky, thanks to PerfectShielding >:|

Well, couldn't that fall under "tourney experience?" Good job though.

Lucario (On Halberd) just plain annoying to hit

Diddy (Smallville. I don't like that place anymore. Not enough space to not get stuck in those awful spots) Lost to nanner spamming

Metaknight (Battlefield) I should've won. All I needed was to grab, chew till I refreshed Usmash, then do the release to Usmash to win. That was fail on my part.

Not really. Out of all my time I've played with my friends and online, I've learned a great deal about matchups and such. Tourney experience, IMO, is just being able to use it correctly to win during pressure moments.

On a good note, I 2-0ed two ddd's in a row!! I think I am finally understanding that match up.. Now if only I can get a handle on laser spam.

A lot of eggs and I think I baired (spaced) every other move lolol. When I was getting way to campy I completely changed my game and got aggressive and then went back.. They didn't know what to do. I think I used about 4 moves total. Bair, eggs, up smash, and forward tilt.
