Nationals & Worlds: What can we expect?

By Gizmological, in UFS General Discussion

hey what about me? you dont think I can win? I did take 3rd at our silly halloween tourney.

I'm determined to get into that regional-winners dinner at Worlds. I plan on smooshing a cake or something in Omar's face.

I'm trying to hypnotize myself into believing in myself so that I can win xD

well you're gonna have to proxy that smoosh of cake into omars face through me XD. Although i dont even know who omar is XD.

BRING IT ON >=D

but in all honesty im just playing a deck ill have fun with and hope i can win :D . I will be play testing it this week and it should be pretty reliable. :) I hope it wont be a repeat of all the tourneys i went to where i just play austin people...althought it shouldnt because there are like 26 ppl haha

Its all good megageese we are teaming together so as long as we take that were good. And Omar is gouhado and the 2008 US national champion.

...our we having a Texas Throwdown trash talking thread? Dude wtf where have I been?! o_O

Bah, plz, Ima totally win. I has a secret weapon :3

...k not really. But I'm quite certain I'll indeed be headin up there.

As for Worlds

B-Rad, I plan on spending every moment that I'm not at Worlds at a club. I'm not sure how much of a clubber's city Indiana is, but SURELY there's a club SOMEWHERE. I'm going to go one night dressed as Soulja Boy, and one night looking like my regular self, and we'll see who gets more women XD.

Hatman I'm sure that ONE of us Shwa folks has two Perfect Sense of Balance... Wait.. Geese? Marco? Y'all coming to Can Nats?

Yeah, card is needed due to symbol spread and commital vengeance. So if I can't get it in time I'll probably have to rely on Shwaaaaaa~ to get me some.

Marco I demand you Superman some drunk chick at World's!

Hatman I'm sure that ONE of us Shwa folks has two Perfect Sense of Balance... Wait.. Geese? Marco? Y'all coming to Can Nats?

Not likely. I live in south Texas, so I'm not too sure how travel would be possible. Sure, I have a vehicle, but ****, I can only imagine how much gas it would take to and from, and as for air travel...

...it's air travel.

Plus I have no idea when Can Nats is =/

Nah, me n' Geese are just blood brothers who feud. And apparently Scuba decided our tourney was important enough, so he's joining the ride.

Well I got a new high paying job too afford it for one and I cant play in my regional so this was the last before origins i could make . Also nubian god has some nice prize support.

Speaking of which, Scuba - our team is complete. And I know what he'll be playing.

Shoot me an email for strategery! >=D

Shinji, you're going down, too >=D

And everyone who participates in Double Dragon - prepare to face defeat at the hands of Shelby and Geeeeeese! >=D

...good night =)

LOL im sure you guys are all good I just have been talking with mega gesse about teaming for this for a while he was supposed too team with me this weekend if was able too make it for the SCC.

Megageese you have my number call me anytime and who is our 3rd what is this talk about Omar is he coming too the event?

Man, it just makes me happy to see Shoe popping up in the forums again. (:

I don't think I'll be able to make Origins and PAX this year. Since I have friends to crash with in Seattle, and my fiancee wants to come along, PAX is a priority. (I've never been to either.)

Don't you know my actual name, Scuba? =/

And yeah, we have our third (I dunno if I told you about him or not...Jacob?). So we're good there. I'm pretty sure we're only going to have conflicts on card numbers for two cards (the most obvious blue and grey cards). I don't even know who I'm going to play, though, to be honest. I'll work it around what you guys are running, so go nuts. Just stay away from playing iSpin and we'll be fine >=[

And no, Omar's not coming, to my knowledge. Homeboi needs to checks his texts and email, though =/

You have a name?

To get back on topic, hopefully we can see some new areas rise to the challenge this year. Historically, the major tournaments have been dominated by Michigan, Ohio, and New York. New York owns three characters and one team asset. Michigan owns two team assets and one character. Ohio has two characters and has lost in the finals for a team asset twice. Ohio also recently won Path of the Master, the biggest regional of the season so far.

It will be interesting to see if that trend continues or if some of the other groups can pick it up and spread the character cards out a bit more.

That being said, my prediction for CanNats is someone from Michigan, Ohio, or Canada's own Team Foxhound will win. I've played extensively with all three groups and know that any of them are always capable of taking the win.

It would certainly be cool to see some dark horses/unknowns in the top cuts, but they will have their work cut out for them.

Hey Matt,

Yeah I really hope foxhound picks up a character (specifically Canadian over any other), we've been really hungry for one since last gencon, (we were dissappointed to see keith vs danny in the finals, and myself getting cut by 1 point to to hata at worlds)
We've been really working hard on our decks/skills, we learned a lot from the michigan regionals, and we picked up a couple of tricks from the regionals that we've been to and won at.
Glad to see that we have your playgroup's respect, as that means (a lot at least to me).

We got to settle that draw we got last year though, and I got sites set on beating Jon.
Any idea if Tanner is going to be there? We got to settle our draw at michigan hehehe.

I really hope an unknown wins. I'm noticing that a LOT of UFS players who win events (or typically do very well) get EXTREMELY cocky with their newfound success. Yeah...not good

We clearly have not seen anything like this ever. Wash out your mouth with soap before you continue slandering the good names of winners.

Seeing as you're talking about a bunch of my friends, as well as me and my roommates, it makes me wonder exactly who you're talking about. How about you stop speaking in generalities and say what you really mean.

I'm noticing that a LOT of anonymous people on internet forums speak out of their ass trying to look cool. Yeah...not good.

Yes, I'm talking about you.

Wait a minute....WAIT A MINUTE.

Shinji? Talking out of his ass?

*In Brooklyn accent* naw. NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I actually hope someone new wins every major championship this year. No offense to anyone.

It would be interesting.

He still has a ways to go yet, but Jacob from our group is someone to keep an eye on, I think.

I'd also really like to see Osei with a character card someday.

Hopefully somebody from the south wins! The northerns yanks are whippin our tails! Its kinda sad actually lol But not to worry im sure one of us will finally break on thru to the other side of UFS glory!!!
