Summer Smash IV

The only thing in this world worse than playing Troq is validating and repeating videogame interpretations from Emcee Prophit.

Emcee who? No, sir, I don’t watch pundits opine and analyze video games. I get all my facts and theories straight from the people! And by that, I mean of course, directly from YouTube comments made by people with default YouTube avatars and whose names contain the requisite amount of references to weed and Sephiroth and, ideally, are written in rotating caps. If I had the capacity for introspection I wouldn’t be playing Troq in the first place!

Checkmate, smart guy. :wink:

That was some crazy Yomi. I kept thinking, “Why won’t you just die?”. I had you to one hp, was up 3-0, and had the MU advantage in the last four games. I think we flipped the MU chart upside down. Now that I have been defeated, I will be rooting for you. Good luck.

Southpaw Hare 4 - 2 MysticJuicer
Southpaw Hare wins!

I believe that puts me in Top 8! Woo hoo!

Commander Boston Low will get everyone home safety. That’s his job.

The worst part was I spent a joker I didn’t need to earlier in that game, on an overdrive turn. :frowning: That one stung. Still hats off, you played a much, much better Ven and BBB vs Onimaru than I’m used to.

Still, being eliminated always hurts…

The Queen of Blades (flagrantangles) triumphs 4-0 over Gundham Tanaka (Zqxx)

:quince::psfist::pschip::argagarg: I had no spins for about the first half of this game so I wasn’t able to leverage combat wins into much of anything. Eventually, however, I get the spins in hand and am able to eke out a win.
:quince::psfist::pschip::argagarg: I had the goods and I start off nicely until I accidentally put up Bubble Shield. I tear it off in the next round, but it robs me of my momentum. I eventually get the engine started again and put my murderin’ boots back on.
:quince::psfist::pschip::setsuki: THE PLAYER CP. I have played against Setsuki a lot and it feels like there’s a certain skill level where the MU suddenly gets 400x worse. This one, however, goes pretty well for me. It helps that I was able to keep PS going with ALL THE KINGS while Setsuki had 3-4 cards in hand.
:quince::psfist::pschip::setsuki: This one goes less well, but I’m still able to leverage Kings. Eventually I fuck up and choose not to use my joker because I don’t think he could have that much damage in hand. He does and then I’m down to 5 life which means that any throw will murder me outright. He uses BoT and returns a 7, Q, and K. I disrespect the Q and punch out a throw with a 6 and then combo into my own Q for lethal.

GGs @Zqxx This was just one more set in our ongoing tournament affair and I look forward to more in the future!

Upupupu!

Looks like someone has been finally eliminated!


You! You’re the reason I had to participate in this charade in the first place! You black and white ursine monstrosity!


Aw shucks… You’re such a flatterer. It almost makes me sad to have to end you.


ALMOST!

UPUPUPU!


I hope you’re prepared for your execution!


Puh… Please… Just give me one more chance!


QUIT YOUR WHINING!


I, the unimaginably generous Monokuma, already let you hang around after one defeat! You’re out of lifelines now, chump!


…

I understand.


Goodbye my friends. Until we meet in the next realm…


Yeah, yeah, save the sappy speech! Let’s get this show on the road! Upupupupupu!

[details=Regular Comments]@flagrantangles paid me back in spades for my past successes against him; I too eagerly await the next step in our ever-evolving tournament two-step!

Overall, I am really happy with how far I got this year in SS. I got one round deeper into the bracket than last year. Should this trend continue, I’ll be the SS champion in two or three years! :wink:

Anyways, big thanks to @Jengajam for hosting this as always. I love playing Yomi and I love roleplaying characters and I absolutely love getting to do both at once!

Best of luck to everyone still in the tournament! [/details]
