I thought I could rein in the set after winning game 2 pretty handily but then I got subsequently bodied. Fun set, GGs!

You haven’t seen the last of me yet…
Hm.
Y’know, sometimes I like to keep tabs on how the rest of the bracket is doing. So, just out of curiosity, who’d @KenkakuKnight have to face in his match?
“Loser of 23”
Okay then. Who could that poss—
@Fivec vs. @Fluffiness
…oh dear God. I’m so sorry!
Yeah, I’m TOTALLY looking forward to playing that match

No worries, I drew an unhealthy amount of Aces that set
I just hope I get to run it back…
Round 2
MR (Zankuro) vs @ClanNatioy (POW)
J spamming till around BBB half life, then great comeback with range and lot of dodges and finished off by a Piston Hurrican direct in my face!
another J spamming turn! more BBB life drained, but at the end same result…
usual good start for me (even if no J spamming 
), took him down 85hp vs 18hp, then his usual comeback (40hp drained in long range mode 
), then game closed by a J!
tried another J spamming…a little worse results, then usual trend (50hp vs 16hp and comeback 16 vs 16) and last two turns Q vs AA (second Q luckly topdecked)
longest one! good start till 86-24, then usual comeback, stopped only by timeout (0 cards left) at 34-14: not a great honorable victory, but as Clan said, still victory 
usual trend, but luckly this time his comeback was less powerful, I managed to not take too much damage from range and close the game
Final score: MR vs Clannatioy 4-2
Long, tense, exhausting but exciting games! All closed with few cards left for both of us (max 12!).
GGs pal!
Unfortunately my boxer shorts only had enough power ups for the first two games. Ggs, it was a good set and I seriously messed up several times so a lot there for me to think about and improve at.
SummerSmash IV, Round 2
Mystic Deadman vs. @GutterOwl
Final Score:
MD 3-4 GutterOwl
No extensive in-character write up for this match, at least not tonight. Events in Games 2 and 7 angered me and I’m not in the mood for it. Maybe after I’ve cooled down and let it go, I’ll come back and do one. If I do, I’ll do it as a reply for anyone interested in reading it.
For the record, there’s no personal animosity or hard feelings of any kind toward GutterOwl. My anger is directed toward the game itself and in no way is intended to be interpreted any other way. GutterOwl played well, and I feel like I did too, but things mid-match got me off kilter.
GGs d00d, and good luck throughout the Winner’s Bracket.
EDIT: For the record, I would like it known that I’m so mad about those two games that instead of playing some late night Overwatch, I said “f— it” and decided to play some MLB '16 instead.
Totally bizarre set that I probably shouldn’t have won. Had like 4 life left as Perse. But BYSing into double jokers is pretty good, I hear.

Oh eff no sorry, no. No. Like, this girl I’d never seen before.
Oh whew. You had me scared.
I STILL GOT PUNCHED BY A SCARY GIRL.
Too bad she didn’t knock your head off.
Too bad she didn’t knock YOUR head off and send it into a trash compactor
Too bad she didn’t punch your heart clean through your chest and then stuff your heart in your mouth and you choked to death on your own heart.
Nice.
Nice.
Okay so what did you do to piss this girl off?
NOTHING!!!
I was just hanging out by the old Food Donkey, doing PERFECTLY LEGAL things
And then I see this weird, uh, latina raver-looking girl yelling at a cell phone?
Why
Cell phones don’t work in Possum Springs
WOW REALLY
I DID NOT KNOW THIS VITAL PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT OUR HOMETOWN
THANK YOU SUDDENLY EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE
No dude I think that’s like why she was yelling at it
Yeah yeah OK I get it
Anyway I try to ask her if she was lost
Cuz like
There aren’t any raves in Possum Springs
At the abandoned Food Donkey
Anyway she turns around and like
Looks at me real hard
And then suddenly she just decks me in the face!
()
Wow
So I like deck her back in the face! Twice.
()
()
NICE
Knife fight practice paying off!
Heck yeah.
Anyway then she starts to pull out a gun!
()
WHAT
YOU SAID SHE PUNCHED YOU
YOU DID NOT MENTION A GUN
WELL THERE WAS A GUN, GREG
OH MY GOD DID YOU GET SHOT?
I DID NOT GET SHOT I AM FINE
ISH
WHAT DID YOU DO
Like the only thing I could think of?
I took a swing with my baseball bat
And like, knocked the gun out of her hand!
()
What were you doing with your baseball bat?
PERFECTLY LEGAL THINGS, Greg! Focus!
Anyway I swing and knock the gun out of her hand
And then I book it into the Food Donkey.
And ran up to the manager’s office and hid
And I guess she chased me???
I HEARD GUNSHOTS I WAS SO SCARED
()
HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD
IDK!
LIKE!
OK, you know how the Food Donkey has like a basement?
Well like, I guess some of the floor boards rotted out or something
And I just hear this crash!
And like I look out and there’s a hole in the floor, and a lot of I think swearing in spanish
( Complete bullshit win)
GOD
HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS
LIKE FIRST THE ELEVATOR THING
AND NOW THIS
I! DON’T! KNOW!!!
Anyway around this time I heard sirens
And the cops showed up
And I guess the crazy lady bailed.
They didn’t find her.
Aunt Mall Cop took me home.
I guess they’re gonna look through the Food Donkey and like the woods to see if they can find her or anything.
Jeez.
Are you okay?
Yeah I guess.
It was kinda cool?
Like its not even the worst thing that’s happened this year
I hope it doesn’t like happen again though[/details]

ggs jamie - you had my number with your throw timing more than I was comfortable with

@variable
Most of these games were very long and the set went all the way to game seven. A real slog. Ggs variable!
Good games, @Attilian! 
Ye Grave kept the robot at bay quite consistently! And ye Zane closed it out nicely! I’ll be rooting for ye in the rest of the tournament! Good luck in the rest of Summer Smash, and I hope that we play again soon!
Attention, all you pitiful sinners! You may think you have a chance to win this tournament.
But don’t make me laugh! I, the Supreme Overlord of Ice, Wielder of the Evil Eye, Master of the Four Dark Devas of Destruction, am going to purify all of you of your misdeeds and crush you into dust!
I have already fully vanquished my first opponent from this mortal realm: a mere frog! (Frogger/@Phrawger)
Though the beast put up a valiant effort, I am not renowned as the Super High School Level Breeder for no reason! I have tamed hellish creatures incomprehensibly more powerful in the past! What could a frog do against my brilliance?
And indeed! A perfect exorcism!
AHAHAHAHAHA!
That’s right, mortals! Quake in fear of my overwhelming power! You can run, but you cannot hide from the Evil Eye!
I wonder if any of you will be brave enough to take me on next…
[details=Normal Match Summary]Zqxx v @Phrawger
4-0
Rushdown Arg smash! I also had pretty good luck drawing jokers, which definitely helped.
Good games, phrawger! Best of luck![/details]
Zejety beats @Copper8642 4-1 in the losers’ bracket.
Recovered from a big early life disparity. Copper kept buying and playing Qs but did not adjust in time when I started playing dodges.
Was this the one with the 3 Qs in Copper’s opening hand? Or was that round 3? Not that I didn’t draw plenty of Qs myself.
Games are starting to blend together a little at this point. Can’t exactly remember the details of this one.
IIRC this one was pretty one-sided. I won a lot of combats and I think I made good decision about my combo cards.
This one came down to literal RPS I think. I was at 1 hp with confirmed AAA in hand. Copper was also in the single digits with both Jokers in discard and confirmed Q in hand. I guessed right but it could have gone either way. This game also features 2 consecutive rounds of super throws getting Qd. Good times.
Observations from both sides:
