There's a reason after all that only Chunins and up are usually reported on, and even then lately chunins get a report of "I placed X and ran this deck" stretched out over 2 or 3 paragraphs. (in other words, aren't much)

Write on something worth reading. The only thing I see here is a sloppier version of a deck I faced at the last SJC (and topped? idk, been a few months after all) won a local despite rulings that were already known. borrrrrriinnnnnng

I think it's nice to see tournaments from a local perspective. It gives a different look at decks, which may not be the best, however you can try to use something that worked for them(an idea, tech, etc) and try to incorporate that into your own success.

you guys need to stop bashing on these guys.....seriously I think the main reason u guys do it is because of Mullto4 and the fact that u guys dont like having articles thrown at u from multiple different sources especially if one involves more "well known" players

hm, i usually agree with you majority of the time..but this is the wrong player mentality for the game..this is the kind of thinking that players get discouraged about playing because people who think that locals don't matter or that if you haven't topped a Chunin or SJC, you shouldn't be playing..part of the reason why people don't play the game competitively is because some players are a-holes who only think that its worth talking, associating or worth taking advice from someone whose topped..granted that yes, those who had the experience of winning tournaments or understand the rules are worth going to, but you can't go and diss the players who are trying to get to the same position you are. we were all beginner players or had to learn from a judge, or friend or whomever at one time..as soon as we start to marginalize others is when people will label you guys, and they really don't feel comfortable attending these tournaments. its in every card game yes, but with a small enough community as it is -- its only going to hurt it. if you want to help this community grow, support all players. don't put down others and acknowledge specific people.

(sorry allanime, not a call out to you but i actually wanted to address this for awhile..speaking from experience, i hate when players pick on certain people because they haven't topped events, or don't know the game enough or blah blah..so this just goes for everyone, can't have that way of thinking).

I stopped reading when I saw the word Local in the title.

And yes Mulltofour is another Blog, but they're a more organized blog about the game and the metagame itself, Yes a Local is nice but you have to realize, that's the least competitive event of the entire game, When I still attended Locals I'm pretty sure only 1 person was playing a meta deck at the time, and the rest of us were just playing what we thought was fun. There's no real reward for locals [well anymore, I miss being able to get Mats >:] and its why no one cares about them, no matter what tops at locals its not going to affect the metagame, because only the Chunnin and Higher Events do. I respect the idea of another Blog but guys, step your game up if anymore of the articles are as mediocre as I won my Locals then there's really no point in reading.

people see no value in the foundation of naruto. this proves my point of the players mentality that just because they took first place at a local, they don't deserve any recognition. locals are how everything starts; how players get interested in the game, how people test out the meta, how plays are found out. you can't just expect people to treat you different because they won a Chunin's compared to a locals or higher events. you can't get rid of the very way we get support in the first place. the game is surviving because of these locals, large part yes the competitive players who pump money into the game but this is where everything starts. just cuz they won locals, you don't criticize their article because its not about a Chunin win.

As I said, Locals are not a competitive place to play, maybe if you have like only SJC and Gencon winners playing there maybe, but we do playtesting before a chunnin for a reason, People are much more urged to do well at a tournament if there is more on the line.

Basically what you're saying is that I should report about How I can go 7-1-2 in my Pokemon League when only 3 people there take the game seriously enough to play something competitive at league and not about how I got Second at My Battle Roads, the Place that shapes up how the format is going to happen and what to expect in the metagame.

I fail to understand the logic that you're trying to put behind this.

We are having a chunnin first week of march and we will report that one in great detail, regardless of our places.
