Wen 7-3 tonight – it could’ve been 8-2 or even 9-1 but after the first loss I was disappointed because I didn’t expect Earthquake on Terrakion so it went kind off downhill from there – but the win over Trick Room made me smile again, lol 😡

Yes.
Europe’s in it too.
8-2 from Day 1. Found very interesting teams.
8-2 As well after day 1. Can’t say Im not pleased with it so far.
Let’s see if I can play the next few days or not and get some more games in.
I’m playing on two cartridges and I’ve played the same person on both carts.
Pretty sure I’m 5-0 and 5-2 on my two games right now. I’m taking it kinda slow and planning on playing more games this weekend.
finished 18-2, lost to paul chua and eruption spam.
so what score do you need to get 1 point, like 1800?
Stopped at 8-3 today…should’ve cut out before the 11th match, would have been much better for my confidence >_<. But very pleased considering I’ve been in the negative on battlespot since I started using this team
I did horrible day 1… Probably gonna be worse day 2.

Im 7-2 so far. Lost the first match due to stupidity and the the 2nd loss was completely weird. I ran into a guy using FIre/Ice punch fake out power up punch kang with a Crobat. The Crobat used Hypnosis wich hit 4 out of 5 times. Although he got lucky with the Hypnosis spam i think i shouldve won that game somehow since his team was so bad.
Lost my first battle of the day once again.
Against my better judgment, I decided to keep playing despite my hindering tiredness right now… So I won 4 more games and am calling it a night. 13-2
Went 10-0 in the first day!
My team is full of little shenanigans such as Feint Raichu, which actually has saved me a couple of battles. I’m loving this team so far =)
AV Lando working surprinsingly well, specially when people think you’re locked into one specific move
1800 will probably be the top range of players. Expecting even 1600 to gain points though without region separation I’m not sure how it will go.
I haven’t had a chance to play since the 5 games I had yesterday. Will need to do the bulk of it tomorrow. 4-1. Lost on a wrong last turn call to a player from Spain. Only NBers I’ve played are BCNate and styrofoameon as far as I know.
6-4 the first day to some horrid hax.
9-1 the next day because I lost to disconnect. he’s too good
Finished 7-3 both days so far. A lot of things I could improve. I didn’t know Boomguy was streaming, that was a good game!
gg. WTF with the quick claw Sylveon lol!! I played our match really wrong :/
currently 16-4
5-0 so far!!!
Played 5 matches so far and I’m 2-3, the 3 losses being from disconnection. Pretty much ruined my chances for a top 256 finish, I’m fuming as my internet never disconnects usually.
6-4 today, 14-7 in total. Learned a lot.
Went 4-6 on day 1. The amount of near losses was ridiculous
Went 4-6 on day 1. The amount of near wins was ridiculois
15-5 so far disgusted with my performance .
Anyone know how often global link updates scores? Just had 2 opponents DC in a row so was starting to get paranoid if it’s my fault, although i stayed online both times. Error was connection interrupted, but i’ve had this happen in ranked matches too and been given losses on a few occasions.
Edit: It’s just updated but it’s not put those two games on, it has put the 3 games i had immediately before though. Not sure whether it’s not decided on their outcome yet or ignoring they even happened. The first game was a couple rounds in, second one my opponent had a really bad lead and dc’d straight away.
what is your score at the moment?
does anyone know if a player got past 1750?
10-0 on the first day; got some luck regarding two matchups in particular but for the most part I’ve made this happen all on my own. So happy; I’ve never had this before XD
1-0 so far on Day 2; let’s make this count!
12-8…. I am so ticked off at myself… I need to learn to beat megaman
Perhaps I played you, I am using it currently.
1750 should net you top 64 easily, 1800 probably either wins you it or gets you top 8 at the very, very least.
