Tourney Results

[BigBadHarve]

my MSN name is ncannelora@hotmail. I'm also on FB under that same name, and I log into the Hamachi with the same name (convenient having such a rare surname; thanks Dad!  )

And, BBH, I might convince Ranerdar to play, but I don't think the others would. My mom doesn't have a home computer (she just uses her smart phone), one of my brothers only barely likes Overpower and mostly plays to hang out (despite his massive collection, because he likes to collect stuff), and the other brother who plays (a_noble_kaz) was so turned off by his experience on The Forum that I doubt I could convince him to join 

I've added you to my MSN as well, just in case I don't see you on FB.

I figure it never hurts to ask. Hopefully your brother can put it behind him and join in the fun. Even if he doesn't want to participate in the forum events, he might be interested in joining our game circles to play the people he hasn't been put off by.

Cheers!

QFT! I'll definitely ask 

Also, I have to confess, I'm incredibly distracted at work today because of my excitement about this tournament. Friday nights are Family Nights in my house (by my own prerogative), so I actually don't know how much I'll be able to play tonight. But right now, I'm a little obsessed. LOL

It makes a difference when facing down new players, that's for sure. It's too easy to jet jaded playing the same people over again. But new players with new strategies keeps it fresh.

I have plans myself tonight, and won't be at the computer until late late. But I'll in when I get back to see if anyone's around. I still have two matches to go. I'm looking forward to facing Onslaught, his deck is my deck's bane. Lots of nasty strings and a KO event. But I love a challenge!

[Oscorp]

Tonight's results for me.   Played Nate Grey tonight in a 6 round Blood Bath.

Me - Dazzler, Team X, Maverick, Sabretooth (3 stat)  Nate - Heroes For Hire, Sentinels, Beast:the Brute, Thing


Round 1: We both draw 8 with no discards, I had no defense so I placed my whole hand, Nate placed 4 cards.  he bet 3 and I bet 1 and conceded.

Round 2:  THE BLOOD BATH!!  I discard a dupe 7 power card, Nate tosses a dupe Master Mold and dupe level 1 power card.  We each place 1 card and Nate digs in to do some damage, I venture 3 having leech in hand and feeling cocky and nate bets 2.  Oh what damage he does, he starts off with a 7E teamwork from the sentinels on Dazzler, it hits, follows up with an 8 S, it hits, follows up with a 5 F it hits as well.  Bye Bye Dazzler and the 4E and 5I ally placed to her.  I retaliate with Leech on HFH, nate plays Snake Marsten through his battlesite.  Damn.

Nate's up again, and it's another teamwork this one against maverick.  it hits as well.  The 3 multi followup is blocked by 5A.  My turn to fire back.  5I ally from maverick hits the sentinels followed by Bloodlust which is blocked and dangerous mind which is also blocked.  Nate fires off The Hulk from HFH on Maverick and hits him again.  Dazzler gone and now Maverick with 11 points against.  I remember that I too have teamworks and decided to use em.  Throwing fighting TW against the Sentinels that hits and following up with a 3I against the HFH.  Nate throws a 7S power card on Mav, hits again.  I Gamma Terror the Sentinels into a KO.  Nate has me by venture now with 38 points to 17 so tacks a 1E to Team X.  Bad luck for him I still have a usable teamwork that I play against HFH, it hits as does the 2S power card for the KO.  I still have a 7F placed to Team X but it's not enough for venture and Nate passes.  I play Legacy on Team X and then we both pass.

Nate now has 5 missions won with 2 left in reserve and I have 4 lost and 3 in reserve.

Round 3:  EVENT: Down But Not Out

We both place what we can, I bet my last 3, nate bets 1 and concedes.

Round 4:  I dupe 2 level 8 power cards. (ouch)and toss a 7E Teamwork.  Nate losses 2 cards.  Places Clobberin time.  I have Kinetic Absorption in hand and Bastion to deal with Clobberin time, so I bet 2, as does Nate.  I start laying into Thing.  Playing a teamwork which is blocked by Hypersenses and the followup is a 1M onto Beast which is blocked with a 4M.  Nate tries to Clobber Maverick, but I negate.  I attempt to New Universe my way out now that I have gotten rid of Clobberin Time.  But Nate negates me.  He fires a Drop Kick at Mav...  avoided with Government Operative.  I throw a 1I ally at beast, blocked with a 1 and follow up with Wildcat Attack also blocked.  Nate throws an 8 S power card at Mav and finally takes him down.  I fire A-Next at Beast which is blocked and Nate concedes.

Round 5:  2 discards each, I bet 2 Nate bets 1.

I shoot a teamwork at Thing which Nate avoids with Infiltrate.   He fires a teamwork back at Team X, I Wolvie avoid it and the follow up I play Kinetic Absorption.  I hit Thing with Death from Above and follow up with a multi 4 that is blocked.  He attacks with Fancy Dan and I avoid with Government operative.  Throw Reaction Time at Thing and it's blocked with a Ninja (stupid Ninjas). 
Nate then concedes.

Round 6:  EVENT:  Shockwave Rocks the World

I drew a mitt full of D.  Getting Gaurdian, Confusion, Kinetic Absorbtion, DoW and no energy icons.  Nate has 3 discards.  I bet 3 for the win.  First go I hit him with DoW, locking up any defensive activators in hand.   He goes for Team X with an 8S, I block with KA and draw Web Headed Wizard.  I attack Beast with a Berserk Attack that lands and follow up with Combat Armour on Thing for the KO, blocked with a 5F.  Nate tosses an activator on his turn...  (I just realized that that may or may not be legal with Shockwave in play, a ruling from someone would be great)  I web head for another KA.  Nate passes, so I play my remaining attacks winning venture in the end for the battle and the game.

Thanks for the great game Nate.  I thought it was all over when you took Dazzler down in round 2.

Just Demacus left to play.

[Nate Grey]

Thrilling recap, Matt! Beautiful comeback on your part. I currently stand at 1-3.

pretty sure that the Activator on DoW was a no-no because of the Event, but good sportsmanship let's it go. sounded like a good game, guys. i'm heading to bed, but i'll be up early. look forward to getting some games in

Oops! My bad. I'm still getting used to these pesky events. Grr! Had he not been venturing for the win, I would have conceded but I tend to let my opponents rip into me on the final round just to see what goodies they unleash upon me.

me too, Nate. i don't think i've ever conceded a last battle with stuff to do. gotta fight it out 

[Demacus]

Got my first game in laste night. Played Nate. His Strength beat-down deck beat me down. Lol I'm running a Femme Fatale's deck consisting of Black Cat, Domino, Storm:Neut and Zealot.  As far as the matches breakdown, I was more focused on re-learning what was playable when and how then I was on who did what, when. I can say that it was a fun match, and a few new tricks (new for me) were eye opening. I don't see this particular deck doing overly well this tourney, but since I have't played against anyone in 13 years, I'm just happy with this oppotunity to take a few lumps Thanks to everybody who helped me get rolling again.

[Onslaught]

I was able to win my tourney match with Kyle, here's a small recap:

Turn 1: Equal placing on both parts, he bet one and conceded.

Me: 2-5-0
Him:0-6-1

Turn 2: He outplaced me, I bet three and he bet one and conceded.

Me: 5-2-0
Him: 0-5-2

Turn 3: His event to move all defeated missions to the reserve came up, and he had far more cards than me due to the previous turn. I placed in a way to maximize usefulness for the KO event that was lurking, and bet one/conceded.

Me: 5-1-1
Him: 2-5-0

Turn 4: KO event killed his Dark Beast with three placed cards, putting him behind on cards. I ventured three for the win and came ahead on venture in the end.

Thanks for the game Kyle, and if anyone else is looking for a match I'll be on Hamachi for a bit longer. I've tried messaging ncannelora a few times, but no response.

Finally pulled out a win, I beat kyle in 4 hands. After declaring to him "Good Game." when it was all over, he called me a douchebag. I guess thats how the world works...

Edit: Fell victim to some of breadmasters tricks.... lost in the power pack because he removed my all 7's. 6's and 5's....

That's right, I did. Everyone calls you it, behind your back... but you know that anyway. You should thank me for at least saying it to your face.

What you didn't tell everyone is that you "accidentally" drew a card, which I don't believe for a second... funny how Entropy Field ended up on the top of your deck, huh? You also tried to make me discard 2 cards placed to OTHER characters when you played White Tiger against Dark Beast. I had nothing placed on him, and no cards in hand, so he thought he could get me to discard cards placed to BRB and Donald Pierce.

So yeah, "good game". Douche.

[drdeath25]

Dont be a sore loser, asshole. I've never said anything bad to you.

[breadmaster]

some results:

kyle def demacus
drd def kyle
onslaught def kyle
breadmaster def drd

also...ncannelora and i played 2 marathon matches with the result being...a 3rd match.  the first he probably had me but there was a power pack glitch (and a missed redraw).  after numerous crashes, we agreed to start again.  i won the second, but we agreed to a 3rd for the sake of fairness.

btw LOVE LOVE LOVE his deck! 

updated standings (i'm almost positive this is wrong this time...y'all could maybe post your record, and who you have left to play?)

big bad harv 6-1
oscorp 4-3
breadmaster 4-2
ncannelora 2-1
onslaught 2-0
bios 2-3

bummer about kyle. sincerely, a good game deserves credit and good sportsmanship should always be returned.

also, i had a similar experience w/Breadmaster. We had severe issues in our first game, a game i likely would've won. i agreed to start a new game, where he used his tricks in the end to eek out a smart W. then he graciously agreed to a rubber match. we'll have to work that in later.

congrats on your own W, though.
