Well this is unfortunate, but I think I’m bowing out of this and all future tournaments. I have officially lost my passion for Yomi. I was hoping my favorite tournament of the year would rekindle it but it didn’t. I will return if there is ever another expansion or whatnot, and I might tarry around the forums for a while, but no more games for me.
The Nameless One (vengefulpickle) vs The Silent (@leontes)
- I play the char-select mixup game and go high tier for a change. @Leontes ends up with a hand that is checkmated by odd normals. It was rough.
- I forget basic Troq/Zane interactions like K on KD, and pay for it pretty predictably.
- Troq disrespects my (fake) joker with a BU, I undercut AA with AA, I watch in shock as @Leontes misreads my discard and facedowns even though I have the other two aces in it, and then a third AA in a row closes out the game.
- At 39-39, I YOLO Robo Headbutt in the face of what was probably (or should have been) known TPoS, and have the Q++Q++ to back it up for lethal. Reckless plays don’t really deserve the wins…
- Grave brings it home from 3-20 with a Q followed by raw A.
- I tier-scum back to Zane, and land an unexpected dodge into Max Anarchy because I don’t know any better.
Good games, @Leontes. It’s always a blast (and a terror) to play against you, and I feel very lucky to have been able to take this set.
It was an awesome set! You’ve improved a lot since the last time we played, so I expect you to get far in this tournament! I need to work on my anti- tech as always, so it was a good learning experience for me, too.
Does anyone still think is low tier? lol
EDIT: Just checked numbers since January of last year… why is he 26-9 against ?!?
Sometimes you eat the bear bull, and sometimes, well, the bear bull eats you.
This was honestly one of the most-enjoyable sets of Yomi of my career. Plenty of ridiculous, how-did-that-work, heart-attack-inducing goon-ery. I would advise those learning to play Setsuki to watch these tapes and analyze my Sets play. You may not like it, but it’s what peak performance looks like.
the devil (gutterowl) 4-2 over kass (threeheadedmonkey)
marathon set took us two hours to complete. every game versus except the last ended with less than 12 cards in thm’s deck. (last game was a good ol fashioned perselock, because zane isn’t entirely sure what blocking is.)
so many commands and true powers. please don’t ask me to remember details @~@
Xiba VS @lum_at_1st_sight
get ahead most times except the last few turns. Now is 37hp to 13hp, and got blackjack and 20hp loss. And then Q conuter another blackjack! 19hp loss.So gg.
This round likes the first round very much. Finally he got combo and then blackjack to kill me.
So this round I thought I can use another character to try if I can beat his brilliant and if I lose I can choose once. So I bring out my ! This turn is so close. use 10 to counter 10 always and We got 5 to 8 hp. He use his 10 and luckily I got 10 in my hand. So 5 to 4 (I had BS this time). I dodge and he throw. No damage so 5 to 2. Final round we thought a lot and I choose BS he choose As attack. And he use 10 I use 10 too. So I win with only 1hp. So close!
Another close game! Finally lose atk vs atk and no joker.
So now got the game point and I’m a bit nervous. In this round he is not lucky - he got joker in his blackjack again!
So I got more confidence to win and use As attack more instead of BS and it really works to some extent.
I don’t knoe why he changed to but when he changed to I took a big breath - I’m familiar with this girl and I’m confident I can win with my against . And the result turns out his is much stronger than . Although I win more but also did much damage to me.
Ggs. 2 hours is too long but very fulfill. For more details, anyone can see my replays. @lum_at_1st_sight your is really strong! Good luck next time!
flagrantangles (Tellah) wins 4-1 vs @variable (Iwazaru)
I was worried, but I take control early and mostly maintain. Midway through, however, variable throws me into Q++.
Zane joins the fun and I mostly just gold burst out of the vortex because I’m never without jokers. Hell, C&D gifts me with one.
Variable handled the late game better than me. I kept thinking he would revise his play given how disrespectfully I’ve played around his options. NOPE. He just disrespected me playing respectfully and got me right in the murder hole.
I had a good handle on this one until the pan fell off the stove and then Zane started cooking. Near the end, I played a brave PM, leaving him at 10 and then I did the usual odd normal + dodge. He played a 2 into it and jokered my lethal follow up. NOW THINGS ARE TENSE. I’m pretty sure he has Anarchy so dodging feels like the best. I decide to DISRESPECT ANARCHY and play the final Patriot Mirror. I hit a 5 throw and take the set.
GGs variable! You are a delight and I still remember when we got together to play Codex and Yomi. It was a lot of fun!
P.S. I may have more thoughts later but I have to go to lunch RIGHT NOW.
