Canā€™t wait to see it with your life reactions

Sadly it wonā€™t be live reactions. Juicer does commentary over the top after the fact for games he played in.

Sadly true. I neglected to turn my camera on, so I donā€™t have the player-cam footage. Just assume I was sweating and shaking anytime any Aces were powered up for at any stage of the game, because I was.

I was tired of getting murdered as Quince versus Zane so I decided to switch it up. I have normally shied away from playing this MU because the first time I played it was against ratxt1 and he stomped me into the ground. However, I decided that I like playing Geiger and heā€™s got good stuff against Zane. Mostly, I just didnā€™t play exclusively for TD and just played for Aces since both sides are quite good against Zane. It worked out for me. However, each game got progressively harder as I could practically feel the tension rising as CKR readjusted his play. The final game was quite close but I decided to just play the goddamned Flash Gear. It worked. GGs CKR! Youā€™re a player Iā€™m always very concerned about playing since I donā€™t have a good record against you or your powerful Zane.

Good set CKR. Extremely upsetting ending for me, though; I played dQ into a 15 HP Zane and then quickly realized that if he has a Crash Bomb, he should 100% play it then. With no way to undo the card, sure enough dQ hits the Crash Bomb putting him to 1 HP. I have over 50 health, but my hand is checkmated by Odd normal, so he gets 9Q9J. Iā€™m still checkmated by Odd normal, so he plays another one into lethal. Sigh.

It just hurts especially because I wanted to pull my card back and couldnā€™t, and then took over 60 damage that I couldnā€™t prevent at all. Ughhh.

I had the joker. I was debating on whether to throw into J for knockdown or K. I was leaning towards throw, then I decided to use the K. Your Q most definitely would have been better to use in the upcoming KD scenario. Any other attack/block would have probably been better options at that time with a Q in reserve.

@Leontes , you was most certainly not in checkmate. You used your 4 for a facedown. You was at 5hp and I was at 1hp. I had another K in hand. That would give me a chip victory, but I was worried about a 4 attack or J. I thought for sure that you had something because of that bluff. I took a 50/50 (I wasnā€™t sure about your lack of odd blocks) shot to win and almost certainly not lose because by your reaction I was almost certain that you didnā€™t have another Q.

Well yeah, thatā€™s what I meant. You shouldnā€™t go for K there because I could have attacked out, but normal attack was nearly 0% risk at that point (other than me blocking right and getting up).

I had to draw a Joker or Q to survive at that point. My sadness was that I wanted to take the Q back, and that I had over 50 health and died to extremely safe options >_<

Not trying to discount your play or anything. Iā€™m upset I didnā€™t try to cross up both of your blocks on your wakeup; that would have changed the set dramatically.

I definitely deserved to lose this one.

Creator and Destroyer made me a very sad man. I probably lost close to 20 aces.

That was the game plan. If you know a man likes CMB, let him power up to create the aces. Ignore AA. Then, promptly destroy them. I can see how it would be disheartening. I would have been very impressed if you would have been able to pull off the win with that strat. I do like your style, though.

Thanks! I was definitely having a ton of fun. Almost every hand refresh gave me the cards to power back up so I took it as fate.
