Well, my self confidence has risen pretty high compared to last time I posted. At the BSU tournament I made it to winners finals to play the best fox in the state his tag is Nunu, and his fox is aggressive and smart. I got 3-0d by him and we went to Final Destination each game. I played sheik the whole set I would have pick another stage but fd seemed reasonable because of how consistent his up-air combos/frame traps are. I had to wait like 45 minutes for losers finals because the bracket was held up. I played Nunu, the player I lost to, in friendlies while I waited he gave fox tips and I gave him some sheik tips. Those friendlies were really fun and combo-esque full of risk off stage. After waiting the 45 minutes I had to face the #4  player on PR named Marathon, in losers finals. He mains cloud and robin, although he was playing Ike the whole time. He took 2 games and his friend came over and started laughing at me saying "why are losing to his Ike?" And I said back to him "you just lost to it too." He replied with "he my best friend, I play him all the time." This didn't help his case either it makes it seem like Marathon can beat him with any character. Anyway, after game 2 I beat him in game 3, making him switch to Bayonetta. I totally obliterated his Bayo, so he switched to cloud. It was last hit last stock and I was at around 130% and he was around 120%. I went for an Up air after f-tilting him and he down-aired me and took me off the top. It was very close game but an unranked player vs the #4 player on PR and almost winning? I don't think that happens too often. Playing with the crew again built my self confidence and so did some of you guys after my last blog. Thanks for those who read this.
