Yoshi Tournament Results: End of an Era, A New Beginning? *updated August 19th

[Sinister Slush]

Incorrect, i'm doing it based on Tournament results and who they beat/lost too. Haven't finished it but basically cause been busy and doesn't seem anyone else is motivated to do it on here and other boards as well.

 

[F-Tier Player]

Agreed completely with getting hard brackets, it's so much more fun getting those hard matches. Definitely the most exciting part of tournaments for me. I play 10 times better against players I'm supposed to lose to than against anybody else. >.>

This is so true, there's hardly any pressure when you play someone below your level. Pressure is good..

Tourney in 4 days in NYC. I have a good feeling about this one. Hopefully i can bring back some more money. :3

Actually, there's a lot more pressure because you're "not supposed" to lose to them, so you get really frustrated when you **** up. It's happened to me. Worst tournament experience of my life. I raged so hard that day and was lucky enough to have an awesome friend take me out so I could cheer up.

IDK Delta, I think that just depends on the person. When I play opponents like that and dumb stuff happens to me/I get wrecked, I just laugh it off and keep playing. At least, that's what it's been like for me lately; if I'm taking a set really seriously (which doesn't happen nearly as much as I'd like it to anymore >.>), I rage whenever stupid stuff happens to me. Fortunately, I channel my frustration in a way that causes me to go into a state of deep focus, and I pretty much go on a rampage at that point, and it often more than makes up for whatever I lost from whatever caused the frustration in the first place. I wish I played like that all the time...

lol Sorry, Slush. I'm a lazy Yoshi.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Do you want me to go through my tournies listed and tell you who I beat/lost to?

 

[Sinister Slush]

If you mean for that Top 5 Yoshi thing, you can if you want too.
Also post recent tournaments you've attended, unless you haven't been to any yet.
I of course won't have any practice in for this big tournament that's going on at Gamelot in 5 days but i'll try to get housed and play all night. Me and polt will be attended this so wish us luck.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Oh lol, I totally read that wrong, I had just looked at the top 5 thread and somehow missread that reeeeally badly haha.

I guess I could if you still wanted me to though .

EDIT: I think I read this and thought I was still in the other thread:

[Z'zgashi]

I have a tournament on the 19th and have been going around smashing with top players here a ton to beef up my skills, and I'm hoping I can prove that I'm getting better. I'm getting better with mix ups and being smart, and if I can take out this fox/Kirby main that I always lost to, I'll be place skillwise just 2-3 spots from top 5 here :D

I've also been consistantly beating the Tink, Wolf, and MK main that I was ranked under

 

[RaptorTEC]

Tourney tomorrow in NYC. Aiming for top 10. Anything below will be another dissapointment to me.

 

[Delta-cod]

Raptor, is it the Poly Spring Fest thing? Wish I could go.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Anything below top 10 is pretty much facedesk for me, cuz our tournaments only have like, 16 people at most.

You + different avatar = mindf***

I wish I was capable of getting top 10. I've only ever been able to get top 12 or top 8 because most of the tournaments I've entered have been double elimination. =[

 

[Z'zgashi]

Ours are double elimination as well. I always get ***** the second I hit losers bracket though. Except this one tournament we had 42 people... I lost first round and went through the entire losers bracket, even beating who I originally lost to, then took 7th... Such a goddamned scary bracket though...

 

[~Firefly~]

whoosh
>>>>>>>>> <- The point

<(^.^<) <-Z'zgashi's head

My post was just a smart-a** way of pointing out that there's no such thing as top 10 (or top 5) in a double elimination bracket unless there are tiebreakers involved. It's a little pet peeve of mine, but it seems like 99% of the smash community makes this mistake. >.<

 

[Z'zgashi]

Utah sometimes the tiebreakers just for the fun of it so our tournaments actually last a decent length.

 

[RaptorTEC]

Yeah it is. Dude we need to meet at another tourney soon and rep dat Yoshi! I'll go pick you up if I have to damn it XD

 

[Z'zgashi]

So, I put my title on another forum as 'Utah's Yoshi', and for some reason, this made a bunch of other smashers in my scene wanna yoshi ditto me to prove they have a better yoshi. So far, 4 of the top 5 in state have challenged me and 3 non ranks as well, and I beat them all, most of them by more than a stock each round and a few of them 3 stocks

 

[RaptorTEC]

>_> Well I would hope youre able to beat non-Yoshi mains.

 

[Delta-cod]

Yeah it is. Dude we need to meet at another tourney soon and rep dat Yoshi! I'll go pick you up if I have to damn it XD

It's not that I can't get a ride, it's that my weekend are full these days. I should be back in April or late March.

I know before I said anything below 10th would be a dissapointment but I'm actually happy with how I did. Imo i got bracket ***** but still placed decently. Also when I faced ADHD I actually was in the lead in the first game. He was down to his last stock and then I tried to just waste time since I had 2 stocks. I went under the stage and I guess because of the pressure i messed up getting to the other side and sd'd. I honsetly think I could have pulled off that one win if that didnt happen. Oh and was also beating anti second match of our mm but he basically ***** me in the *** our last stock. He showed no mercy. Either way though, i'm happy with how I played.

 

[Deleted member]

You didnt get bracket ***** you faced a good player in winners and chaosmarth in losers(i dont know exactly how good he is but i know hes not a top player).
Thats not bracket ***** thats just a normal bracket.



GJ regardless haha. 13/36 is a good placing =]

 

[RaptorTEC]

Lol thanks but take a closer look at the bracket then. And yeah i guess youre right about ChaosMarth. >_> Thats not to say that hes bad though he deserves some respect.

 

[Delta-cod]

You didn't get bracket *****, you just haven't earned a good seeding to avoid playing top players round 2 yet. =P

You lost to Chaos Marfa? He hates the MU, you coulda had it.

 

[RaptorTEC]

I KNOW! ;_; Oh well. I'll get him next time.

 

[Sharky]

got last in a 19 man tourney that had almost all PR'd/OoS players I'm still hella disappointed though, I coulda won both those games. =( I dunno I definitely feel like when I'm just playing with people lately I'm doing much better than I ever have, but I can't produce in tourney for some reason. Oh well, next thing to work on.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I went to a small smashfest over the weekend (spent friday night there, stayed all day saturday, and left sunday morning) that had only 6 entrants. I took 4th only after the 3 top 5 players who were there :D

We did a round robin and I lost 2-0 to sonic, lost 2-1 to ROB, lost 2-1 to falco, won 2-1 to fox, and won 2-0 to G&W. It felt good to not have any MKs there :D

 

[Delta-cod]

Sharky, it may be because you're more relaxed in friendlies or whatever and you don't think so nervously. Try talking during your matches a lot. I've been doing it lately and it's been helping.

 

[Sharky]

I tried that against tommygreenshirt and it backfired actually XD

 

[Delta-cod]

Fail.

Naturally, I'm just speaking from personal experience. But people have told me I get really animated when I play, and I've had people tell me that I don't look like I'm even focusing at all when I'm trying really hard in a close set. XD

Of course, no one plays with as much passion as Dark Peach. I love watching him play.

THIS^ Lol i get entertained just by watching his controller XD

 

[Sinister Slush]

For anyone concerned about no recent updates, I'll be holding off updates till WHOBO 3 ends. Cause i'm pretty sure more than 4 Yoshi mains shall be attending this tournament.

 

[RaptorTEC]

Good luck to all the Yoshi's going to Whobo.

 

[Z'zgashi]

im not going. I was, but I'm no longer financially able... I am going to genesis though, I'm positive

Ally's Falcon beats Polt.

Get *****.

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

I saw that, lol'd. It beats hades too. They both have a nasty habit of walking into fully charged Dsmashes

Lol, who cares? It's Ally.

I saw that, lol'd. It beats hades too. They both have a nasty habit of walking into fully charged Dsmashes

I noticed Polt also doing wayyy too many Usmashes/dash grabs when Ally was near landing as well.
