Okay I'm a little foggy on most of this, but I'll do the best to remember the matches.
I ended up running just straight Hariyama, I don't remember my exact list as I've already taken it apart and started testing other things.
Round 1. Some dude from Texas... he was running Metagross/slaking.
I start with makahita and he gets a slakoth with a beldum start. Starts with Slakoth. I hit heads on slakoth for 20 cause of weakness, next turn he attaches to beldum I think. I draw, evolve into Hariyama attach an energy Energy removal 2 on Beldum and nail the heads. KO his Slakoth with knock off and discard something from his hand but cannot remember what. Next turn he evolves into Metang and shocks for 40 and tails. I had a way to get Island Cave tho incase he did get heads and an energy. So I attach on my turn 80 GG.
1-0
Round 2. Some kid with magma.
He really didn't get set up too fast and was just attacking with baltoy for a while. I got the turn 2 Hariyama and started beating the snot out of him with it. He couldn't handle it and I was koing Zangoose left and right.
2-0
Round 3. John Silvestro - Spinning tail t-tar
My hand is absolute crap but he has HORRIBLE prizes. I start with like 4 energy in hand and shard/swoop/makahita but no way to actually get yama. He has THREE Larvitar prized so I'm like wow if I can ko the one larvitar or what ever I win I have this game. Then the luck sets in to hurt me. I still cannot get a yama so I swoop for Jirachi hoping to get something to get it out with. Nothing... I steven's for four NOTHING. Next turn he evolves into pupitar and attaches. I draw ER 2 tails. Steven's again for 5 NOTHING. He attaches to pupitar. My turn I wake up and use wishing star to get the swoop FINALLY. -_-. I flip for reversal on the pupitar. He has like a 3 card hand and I get tails on reversal. I figure ehh he prolly doesn't have the scramble AND t-tar out of all that. Go for the ko to try and get setup. Oops he has it gg -_-. lol Man that game was funky. =p
2-1
Round 4. Ben lugia with Salamence ( I think it was him this round)
He never really gets up and I just start taking prizes left and right.
3-1 GG
Round 5 Psycho dad with Eeveelution weird thing lol.
He starts with eevee and can't ever get the Espeon out til I have another hariyama waiting on him. After that he really can't put up a fight and it's my game.
4-1 GG
Round 6 Steven Silvestro with Metagross.
This family has a curse over me I swear they do this year lol. I get another crap hand with makahita start and 5 energy and a shard. He goes first with a PIDGEY start. He attaches corners. I draw ENERGY WOW I SO NEED THAT TO ADD TO THE OTHER 5 -_-. I attach attack heads para. He draws plays a celio for pidgeot candy strength charm energy ko GG. -_-. lol You got me back for ECSC =p. Just once I wish we could have a good game where it's not like... turn 2 over lol.
4-2
Round 7 Some dude with Gardevoir...
I thought I was done for cause he got turn 2 Gardevoir and wobbuffet and hit me turn 2 for 50 on jirachi. I had a slightly slow start with like turn 4 hariyama. I managed to nail 2 heads on ER2 on his Wobb and he for some stupid reason never attaches again to it or psy shadows. Instead builds a ralts on his band. His active gardy has 20. I do the only thing I can do and hit for 80 ko. He has practically nothing and I just beat the snot out of his ralts/wynaut and Jirachi takes care of his energyless wobbuffet.
GG 5-2
Round 8 Matt Toenisketter (sp?) with RL/Deoxys ex norm.
I get the turn 2 yama and he gets out with the deoxys and kos one fast. It's quite close all game and he goes into stall mode being up one prize. But I got through it koing his deoxys with a charm making it in my favor then I got a ko on amphy and won on time. I really don't remember this match that much except for it was a good one.
6-2 I make the top 32 cut at 25th seed.
Top 32 cut round 1:
William Hung with Dark Slowking.
Game 1 was fairly good, I start off fast and aggressive with admins trying to waste his rockets ball so he can't get slowking out. It gets down to 3-1 and he has nothing in his hand. It came down to him top decking a tool or not. If he didn't the game might have been mine but I ain't sure it was awful close. GG Will!
Game 2 He wins like turn 3, I had it but he had the swoop to stop the ko on slowpoke and put it out of reach unless I got my charm. GG!!
So I finish in around 25th or somethin I'm not really sure. I had a blast tho, it was a great time! Props to PUI and all the judges for making it a great event. I had fun talking to all my friends and seeing everyone I hadn't seen in so long.
