Live Canadian Nationals 2 July 2011

Truk was being sarcastic about Ross. haha. He is obviously one of the best players in the world.

 

[Bolt]

why do I feel like that's not the same Ross?

 

[JandPDS]

Is Ross C supposed to be a well-known player? Be smart and decking and catching up won't be a big problem. The deck isn't that slow either.

Its up to you to decide if he is well known or not, but anyone who actually knows who the best players are; knows him very well. As for Magezone/Reshiboar not being slow. And any deck with two different stage 2 lines is going to be a bit slower then most decks. Even more so now with Rare candy weakened and Spirtomb and Broken Time Space out of the format. There are better options out there. I do like the Magezone/Yanmega idea thought I can see a lot of promise in that deck.

Yanmega/Magnezone basic strategy:

Swarm yanmega and judge early game while dropping energies and building up magnezone Take 3-4 prizes with yanmega, clean up with 'zone.

There's a skelitonish list up on a certain website about drawing six prize cards that i wrote detailing a bit more of the strategy, too.

 

[Blitzer]

Im pretty sure magnezone is also for helping match hand size correct?

 

[Happiny13]

Excuse me for not paying attention to worlds 2005.

 

[cabd]

Yes. Mods, is it ok to copy and paste some of my written work here?

 

[sToRm07]

judge is pretty dangerous in this format... I don't like it in multiples in yanmega....

 

[WildAbra]

first tournament, about one month since I started, 4-3 one lose being a really close match with that Zach L guy everyone is mentioning. I think I did okay.

 

[Jaeger]

Excuse me for not paying attention to worlds 2005.

...or any of the last 6 years, Ross is far more than a 1 Hit Wonder.

 

[JandPDS]

Excuse me for not paying attention to worlds 2005.

Well he also has appreaed in each sucessive worlds after that; including this years in August. I just had no problem owning Vilegar, the matches were never that difficult, I went like 10-3 vs it and two lf my losses were due to dumb misplays on my part, not due to not being able to handle the deck. Once you took the lead they could not come back, the lack of trainers killed it. Rarely did I let my opponets flip with the power just set it up for an expertbelted Uxie and KO & run is all you had to do.

Hey I see a lost world Gengar made top cut, just as we were dissing it for being not a threat. Good job to him. how many BC players made it to Canadian Nats this year?

[Gengar16]

I'm suprised how no one seemed to mention the situation that happened around the two junior players.

 

[edubpokemom]
