Me vs MacD 2 - Dreamland
From UCSD Triweekly XXVIII - April 10, 2010
So first match I get ***** and 2nd match is DK64.. meh.. but the 3rd match is probably the most worth watching, as it's on a neutral and it's fairly even for most of the game.
Kira (Sheik) vs Fly Amanita (ICs) 1
Kira (Sheik) vs Fly Amanita (ICs) 2
Kira (Sheik) vs Fly Amanita (ICs) 3
S2J is THE up-and-coming player in Socal.. he's been playing for barely a year and is already as good as everyone else who's been playing for 3-5 years. I feel like I'm pretty weak at the matchup in general, and it seems like everyone else is good at it so I'm sure you could point out some basic stuff I'm missing. I think I need to ftilt through their nairs more.. but s2j always waits for it then punishes so I always wanna do something else
Also what do you guys usually ban against Falcon? I like everything.
Loser's Bracket
Kira (Sheik) vs sMoke2jointz (Falcon) 1 - Sooo at 2:00 I messed up the stall and switched to Zelda twice so he was nice and let me change back. you can read this in the comments under the vid
Kira (Sheik) vs sMoke2jointz (Falcon) 2 - I doubt people will watch a rainbow cruise match but it's there anyway. I brought it back at the end and then tried to dtilt and fell through the pendulum
Kira (Sheik) vs sMoke2jointz (Falcon) 3 - Probably shoulda lost this match and gotten 9th place.. but hey I'll take it lol
**
Another last stock, last hit set. I feel like I figured him out pretty good as the match went on (3rd match on FD is ****) but then he was beating me most of the 5th match so I really don't know. I'm assuming it was the stage. Theoretically I don't mind large stages against Peach, but I've decided that I like small stages better against McCain. Next time I am not going to ban anything against him; not as disrespect but just so I can see what he would pick and how I would do on Brinstar (usually don't mind this stage either). Cause so far I don't know what stage I like the least. I attribute my loss on Dreamland to me re-learning his style rather than the stage itself. MacD banned Battlefield which I think was very smart.
If you only watch one match, watch match 3.
Losers Finals
Kira (Sheik) vs MacD (Peach) 1 - Stage Strike to Dreamland
Kira (Sheik) vs MacD (Peach) 2 - Stadium
Kira (Sheik) vs MacD (Peach) 3 - FD
Kira (Sheik) vs MacD (Peach) 4 - Yoshi's... could've ended the set here =(
Kira (Sheik) vs MacD (Peach) 5 - DK64

Zhu always ***** me, he's definitely a step above and I believe he's still the 2nd best on the West Coast even though he's had some pretty horrible losses lately. But yeah there are a lot of little things that make me think he's way better than I am- I'm just struggling to keep up. As for stages, this is another matchup where I don't mind any stage. I went back to Battlefield 3rd match because it's where I thought I had the best shot of winning. Obviously Zhu loves this stage but it's not advantageous to Falco, just personal preference, and I don't mind playing against that. I also think I should go to smaller stages against Zhu.. but next time I will try something different just to see.
I'd say the first and 3rd match are the ones most worth watching.

Kira (Sheik) vs Eggz (Fox) - Winners bracket
Kira (Sheik) vs Eggz (Various) Money Match - Skip the first part, it's MacD vs Noobking, might be just friendlies or a MM I don't know. For this one, Eggz and I did a 2/3 MM for $5, then extended it to 3/5, then extended it to 4/7 lol. Then we did a legit $5 3/5 set afterwards. This was between our Winners Bracket set and the Losers Semis set. I won both lol but ended up losing in tournament later and getting 4th place =( but oh well
Kira (Sheik) vs Eggz (Fox) Losers Semis
Kira (Sheik) vs SilentWolf (Fox/Falco) Money Match - We did a 3/5 MM ($3) against his Fox and a 2/3 MM ($2) against his Falco. The money isn't important; we did this after Grand Finals just so we could play each other.
