hagers deck is great too and shawn has a lot of rush hate

I think the Justice League Task Force deck will take out the tournament.

Heh.... Surely Qward can maul Faces thanks to Valentina Vostok? Would've been a rather good choice for Columbus, I think. :)

FYI Dawnyoshi finished 9th at Columbus.

Perhaps he used Qward.

I think that's actually a different Yoshi...

Dawnyoshi = Mike Rosenberg, surely?

9 Tate, Yehoshua
...from Columbus?

Hint: if I were in Columbus and had just finished ninth, I wouldn't be here on vsrealms. I'd probably be somewhere farther away from players lamenting how terribly I played that weekend. :)

(and yeah, obviously I'm excited for the next SA big tourney :D )

it's not uncommon for negative woman to get her ability fatalitied. I considered putting Kiman and Negative woman in my hidden faces deck to face crush the mirror. But if they counter negative woman, you are sunk. And if they have kent farm, you may also be sunk. And without Kiman, any faces deck can easily kill on five when the only character they start with is Dr. Light.

Yoshi Tate is a very very large man that I would hesitate to make fun of.

Mark: I'm not making fun of him. I'm describing what I would be doing had I been in Columbus and finish 9th (which in my mind would not be good enough, hence i would be breaking down all of my mistakes for that day and chastising myself for it). Sorry that it sounded like I was commenting on Tate's play. I've never seen him play so I'd have no idea on that.

Jason: Valid points. I originally had about three paragraphs of explanation of how to deal with those scenarios, but then I realized that I should probably be thinking as a Faces player and just deleted them. Yeah, Fatality is a pain.

Ah, K, sorry about the confusion. According to him, he whiffed 5 and 6 FTL in one game, whiffed 6 FTL in another, and a topdecked Wonderman put him to 1 in a game he would have won with Kanto had he been able to activate it.

He is a huge dude though.
