Were all good games, despite me making a few should-be beginner’s mistakes. It really shows how long it’s been since I’ve played regularly. Used an even mix-up normal against Zane and saved counters against Final Authority. >_>
GGs!

Are you, the next monarch? Or merely a pawn of fate?
Shax wins vs @Ivan 4-2
I simply didn’t feel like playing my usual dudes, and Ivan is known to play characters my dudes are meh against. I busted out the horns. Decently close due to blackjack, but I decided to punish any low hand, low hp, slippery play with good old fashioned hugs for lethal.
My particular offense choices managed to edge out his super aggressive start. Failed Beats by Dre tm. I almost attack a ace dodge at the end but decide to do the same thing as last game. Punished low hand, low hp, slippery plays with good old fashioned hugs yet again.
Oof. He played a little more conservatively and got a rhythm going on me. Fairly comfortable life lead here.
Still not feeling like my dudes so I literally looked up a MU chart for vs . I got myself stuck in a low bad hand and sniff he took advantage of me.
Here was going really well until DeGrammage. Powered up for a bunch of aces then dodged into them ftw. In one of these matches my 10*s lined up really well to win some combats.
I draw a thoroughly uncomboable opening hand with three 7s. Power up some shit and land a throw for good damage and start the vortex. Working towards a perfect until I went Q vs Q. Closed strong.
Respect and GG!

Tellah (flagrantangles) wins 4-3 versus Kuja (@FenixOfTheAshes) upsetting every single bracket prediction, I think.
Positive Spin is quite powerful, turns out.
Quonce isn’t fast and I wasn’t brave enough on KD.
It was close but DODGING IS VERY GOOD.
It was close but DODGING IS VERY GOOD, but for me.
I thought I was doing well when I threw him twice. After that I kept getting hit by shit until I died. WHAT IS THIS ARMOR EVEN GOOD FOR?!
Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to Positive Spin J and play it honestly 5 times in a row?
Bravery and caution intertwined mean that I attack a KD Zane with known Anarchy during J Spin and defeat his block. The following K spin is played honestly and dodges Maximum Anarchy.
The Flagstone Dominion will never fall.

The Nameless One (vengefulpickle) vs Thrall (@Xiba)
- I open with K that goes uncountered for an early lead, but @Xiba proves the maxim that Setsuki is dangerous at life total, and takes down Zane from the mid 60s with only 1 life remaining.
- I open with K that gets countered. Dodges are good.
- I open with K that gets countered. Dodges are good.
- I open with K that gets countered. Anarchy is good.
- I open with K blows up a throw. Anarchy duffs FDB for the win.
Good GAMES, @Xiba! Definately a closer set than the final tally suggests.

5 combats, 5 throws, perfect
TPoS threatened throughout a large portion of this game, but two jokers allow me keep it in the hutch and close out another convincing win
Just Ninja Things. 4 card straights are pretty good.
no opening 2345 straight this time but I manage to close out the set
GGs MR! Shame to see you go out to two bagels, but the cards were just there for me today and I managed to make the right calls where it mattered.
CLOSING IN ON SPIDEY
