Anyway story time.
Well Round 2 of the GameStop tournament was today. The directions I was given blew ass so I walked in the door at like 1:59 and they were going to start at 2:00 with or without me. I actually got in on luck, I saw some shopping center which was massive so I took a guess that it was there and I found it but parking was horrendous and I had to park on the total opposite side of the GameStop. Walked in handed the guy my certificate and got started. Take note I left at 12:00, and the directions were so bad I spent 2 hours to get to a place that should take only 45 minutes. I almost gave up because most of the time I had no idea where I was going.
Same rules as before, Battlefield, no items, tournament mode, but this time 3 minutes instead of 1. They set up tournament mode I picked Dedede as usual and the tournament got under-nope they
ed up and put all CPUs so no one got to fight.
They redo it and the guy discovers you can drop spots out and give people byes instead of having them fight CPUs, so because we only had 14 people 2 people would get byes.
Round 1 was intense and people had some varied picks, and one guy completely dominated with Ivysaur and another with Olimar.
Round 1: Me (Dedede) vs Mario
The match was a ton of me, while close, he never really had a chance to KO me, I got an early KO and started to play defensively. With about 30 seconds to go he goes into panic mode while I sit back and let him come to me (sitting there at about 220%). He does end up getting a KO due to me misplaying a Bair and its all tied up. I have a chance to KO him since he was rather high but I couldn't get set up. We go to sudden death and my first Waddle Dee hits his shield, so I throw another and he dies.
Win
He was a really cool guy and we end up swapping phone numbers so we can exchange friend codes later on.
The next round I would have to play a guy who got a bye, so I had no idea what he was going to do and how he was going to play. The second problem is, he was Pit, and while I was practicing with my brother earlier today I found out Dedede matches up really badly with Pit and even against my brother who never played Brawl I ended up getting my ass kicked. Spamming Side-B gives DDD no chance of doing anything and racks up the damage quickly.
Round 2: Me (Dedede) vs Pit
Right off the bat he spams like 3 arrows and I counter with some Waddle Dees so I don't get hurt, he then chases me down and starts spamming Side-B but I get out of the way without taking too much damage. He comes back and spams Side-B again and once again I have to get away. I start playing super defensively but then he starts spamming arrows. It was basically that for about 2 minutes. I end up getting to about 180% with a minute to go and he is at 120%, easy KOs for both of us. I chain grab him to the side of the stage and he falls off and does Up-B, I jump with him and end up missing a Fair and he lands first so I try a Dair but he dodges and hits me with a Side Smash and I get KOed. I go into overdrive not caring about my %, I'll win Sudden Death so I just need a KO I hit a couple Bairs and comes right back from near KO, so I try it again while hes doing his Up+B but somehow he hits me, we land and he spams Side+B but I get a Bair in and with about 2 seconds to go he is flying in the air, the timer hits TIME and the flash from a KO comes up. I get ready to throw a Waddle Dee but Pit's victory music starts playing and I was upset. I just got gayed out of Sudden Death and a victory by someone who spams two moves.
Lost =[
The guy goes on to round 3 vs the good Ivysaur player and does the same shit, Spam Arrows and Side-B and gets about 3 KOs. Ivysaur player and the rest of the competitors were visibly shook up, the Ivysaur player just dominated the previous round.
The finals end up with Pit vs the great Olimar player, the guy figured out by watching the Pit matches that all hes going to do is spam Arrows and Side-B, which he does. Olimar plays great and with about 20 seconds to go is winning. Pit player gets a KO so it goes to sudden death. Olimar does something but misses Pit and Pit hits for a KO. Olimar player was pissed, hes cursing to himself and Pit player starts getting cocky, "none ya'll can beat me suckas." Everyone is pissed this guy just gayed his way through the brackets with a bye and spamming 2 moves and then he goes and acts like a total douchebag. He goes and gets his Karate Trophy and everyone just walks out silent, Olimar player its on a bench and talks to a friend of his, "I wouldn't be pissed if I lost to someone with class and could actually press more than 2 buttons." Couldn't have said it better myself.
