I said as much at the start, but I somehow got him down to 10 HP!

Leontes vs. @Hydro
Leontes wins 3-1
I still donāt find this matchup easy for grapplers, but Iām bad at playing conventional characters so I just choose the best grappler for the job. I think 
and 
are TRASH against but feels okay because heās much more stable.
GGs Hydro, all of these were close games.

I always found Arg to be a fairly easy fight for Troq. If he goes Mostly Throw-Block Arg canāt get any blocks and has a hard time landing enough attacks and throws to compensate for the damage Troq deals from each throw. However, that is mostly based on my own limited experience.
I just checked the standings. While I wasnāt paying attention, @vengefulpickle is off to a 5-0 start. I remember making a prediction that this guy would be good. Now that he has abandoned all principles, āWatch Out!ā
It appears as if @migohunter has balanced this somewhat with a 3-0 start. I know this man has principles. Maybe he can counter this rogue.

Iāve been trying really hard not to to get too far ahead of myself with reminders that there are still plenty of sharks in the water that I havenāt run into yet (@mastrblastr, @Leontes, yourself, to name only a few).

gutter owl 3-1 vs @flagrantangles
perse < gwen hey i held out pretty long for what the matchup is.
oni > gwen bang bang gorilla
oni > quince
oni > quince just synced flagrantās truth-lie rhythm more often than not. had a couple turns where i literally had no throw that could challenge king-spin, and welped right into the fakeout attack. and honestly, oni got more mileage out of winning coinflips than quince did. his right answers did 10-15. mine did 15-20. still came down to the wire, and i chewed up my nails pretty good.
ggs flagrant. i think maybe you needed to play a little less safe and go for some wild shit? try being extremely stupid. it works for me.

mi-go hunter vs @vengefulpickle
1 hp pixel comeback
Was more disrespectful than I should have been, got hit by raw almost silent MA LOL
J after J after J I could hardly stand up
Pretty solid game for me here, and I had jokers on deck just in case
Four two truths, both jokers, and a couple of aces really early. Completely busted draws
GGs!

Nopethebard vs Leontes
3-1
Arg>Midori: Leontes says this MU is very Arg favored. I agree now.
Arg>Troq: goes much better than I expected. Sorta close, but I pull it off.
Arg<Troq: how I expected last game to go. I was destroyed, though I started coming back towards the end.
Oni>Troq: Iām not cruel enough to switch to BBB. Oni dominates. Oddly enough, I donāt land a single guard crush. I mostly just outspeed his attacks with my own.
GGs Leontes! May your future sets go well.

Hobusu vs @TokH
This was the only complete game, unfortunately; TokHās computer crashed and got caught in an endless loop of restarts partway into the second game. This was three days ago. I offered to wait and see if it could be fixed so we could reschedule, but he messaged me today saying that itās āgoing to be a longer fix than [he] had hopedā and that I should ājust go ahead and report a forfeitā for him. Itās a shame, Iād been enjoying our match so far!
