Okay so this match was...... I don't really know how to describe it. Couldn't have had a more two-faced match ever.

It starts off absolutely wonderful. I have seemingly a complete team advantage, I just have the guys and the moves that can handle the stuff he has. I get some pretty good hax at first too, which is unusual and rather broken I must say, as I depict even at one point.

And then something happens, and out of the blue he gets a turn of hax here, I mess up, I get lazy and assume I have it in the bag, he gets some more hax and I get mad and REALLY screw up, and then suddenly its allllllll downhill. I go from what looked like an easy 6-0 or 5-0 win to WTF I'm going to lose. I cannot kill his Cress.

What shocks me the most is that I've always thrived in being vigilant, that I might not make the aggressive moves to win a match but I won't make the mistakes to LOSE it.... and then for half this tournament I'm blowing up my own position and having to fight back in a game that should have been over. Its so unlike me and I don't know whats wrong with my brain. I guess it just wouldn't be as fun if they were easy, huh? Gotta have some sort of obstacles to overcome... but sheesh I don't want them self inflicted!

So once again, we got a long video, and this time its all my fault, I just got to hope and pray that I pull it out in the end.

Loser of this match goes to the losers bracket (double elimination tournament) to which they play the winner of the 1-loss bracket, and winner of that match would go to the finals to play whichever one of us winds up the winner HERE. So there's a 50% chance that Kaiser and I are going to rematch anyway, regardless of how things play out this time

Okay so in the end, during a massive PP stall he chose to run. At that point in time I don't think I could have KO'd his Cress, and we were a good 70% through the PP stall portion. So I don't know how many moves he had left, and maybe that was a part of it, but I didn't have a lot left either and Blaziken was almost dead anyway... so I'd say it was 60/40 that he actually pulls the bloody thing out. Maybe he feels the opposite, I'm not sure. I always have a tendency to feel like I'm behind or in bad position when thats not always the case. Dunno why but its how I am. Regardless though, we both kind of felt that I had the team matchups, and despite mad hax in the start for me, he had some hax that completely flipped around the match as well and he didn't feel deserving of the win should he have indeed gotten it by playing things out the rest of the 25%.

Which..... I'm not exactly okay with either. So before you jump on my back about being gifted a spot to advance, I'm not one to enjoy receiving hand outs or gifts like that. I want to win and move from things that I feel I accomplished or deserved, and that doesn't fit this case. I can understand him feeling the same way on his side too, so it seems neither one of us are going to be happy with the result. Its not exactly something we can just 'rematch' for either... but hopefully we'll get our chance in the finals if he wins his next match, and then all can be redeemed.

Unfortunately... we don't get that chance.

Thanks for watching, guys.
