J-Wittz’s Live Match Coverage: Top 2 Rantoul, IL Battle Road

Written by | November 2, 2010 | 38 comments | 1,407 views | Rating: +1

Hey everybody, it’s J-Wittz here! Since I’m still learning the ins and outs of my new software, I thought I’d do something different for once! What I’ve put together is live commentary across 3 top cut matches that I played at my last Battle Road. Combined with the commentary explaining most of the moves of the game, they should be a great resource for anybody looking into the more complicated aspects of a match. This is my first time doing anything like this, so there’s room for improvement, but let me know what you guys think! Have a great week,

-Josh/J-Wittz

    Set Picture is so much better on those Garchomps. That is all :)

      You mean as opposed to the tin picture? I totally agree : D. Even Carver agrees–he hates his tinchomps :P

    So what are you gonna do next format with only 10% of your playable cards?

    • Anonymous

      I still have cards for sablock, Luxchomp (one luxray didn’t sell), vilegar, machamp, gyarados, and a few others. I just don’t have cards to have more than one deck built at once now. Next format I should still have plenty to work with, and I’m getting a box of Triumphant for my birthday. I’ll be just fine : )

    Really enjoyed the video.

    In the future I’d also like to see live action videos, if possible. Just record and then upload it to YouTube, maybe with some annotations or something?

    Good stuff man.

    I made this comment on the YouTube page for the third one, but I absolutely love seeing live action games and wish it were something that Pokemon would pursue for major events. I would love to see anything Nats or higher with the top cuts posted. I wouldn’t really lobby to see other tournaments, though, because while I appreciate transparency in deck building I understand that for some players it’s important to not let opponents see exactly what they’re running in order to maintain that edge.

    @JWittz: What was your camera setup for the match? I thought the 3/4 perspective was pretty good, though the glare was annoying. I’d love to find a way to suspend a camera from the ceiling for games I played.

      we just screwed my flip video into a standard tripod standing over the game and angled it downward. This is only the second time we’ve ever done this before, and I’ll definitely look to see if glare is a potential issue in the future

    Man I would’ve scooped that game as soon as that Chatot G hit the table, no reason that game should have dragged on for 30min in that matchup. Also nice to see you join the all foil SP deck club Josh.

    • Anonymous

      This one actually wasn’t all foil (it is now though : P). I built it at 11:00 pm the night before the tournament, so I didn’t make all the swaps from my all-reverse luxchomp yet. I’ll see you at cities at the top tables : )

    Sick playmat!!! Where’d you get it?

    • Anonymous

      I got it printed from an old Yugioh contact who prints mats. I designed it in photoshop

        By any change is him twobluechopstix? Because he also makes awesome mats……..

    That playmat is so freaking awesome, does your friend accept requests?
    Also, do you play 1 or 2 Q in your Sabelock? I was thinking about 2 since Smeargle and Sableye seem to be pretty abusable cards now, and also in case I ever start with Azelf/One Q is prized.

    • Anonymous

      He just prints mats, you have to get them designed or design them yourself. I just stick to 1 unown Q–I could never get myself to run 2 because Q starts are the devil

        Yeah, that’s probably the smarter option. I really wanna run Sablelock for cities, but with so much Machamp and Gyrados in my area sprouting up, I don’t think it’s the right move. If I do, I’ll be sure to tech in BDH instead of Blaziken FB X.

        thanks josh

  • Walrus

    Videos were awesome…just one thing; why…why must everyone use their double colorless to tap their opponents pokemon that they are Dragon rushing?? just say who you’re hitting

    • http://www.facebook.com/apenandamuse Evan Baker

      Seriously, when did that start? Haha it’s got to be one of the most ridiculous trends in Pokemon

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Martin-Garcia/676689170 Martin Garcia

        Its convenient, and gives a nice feeling i think xD
        Now that you mention it, i dont remember when i started doing that either.

      • Walrus

        How is it convenient to stretch your arm across the table and annoyingly tap someone else’s cards?

        My general rule is; if it’s not your stuff (dice, cards, etc.) don’t touch without permission…unless it’s something like a simple cut.

      • Anonymous

        I don’t think I ever physically “tap” the cards unless it’s somebody I know really well. Actually, I’m positive I don’t. I think me and Carver do it here because we’ve just been playtesting it that way.

        For people who have the compulsive motion and can’t control it anymore–just point your cards in the direction of the guy you want to dragon rush, but never touch the cards themselves

    I’m not gonna lie, I absolutely Love watching matches like this. Especially against the best players. I wish they all did something as good as this, J-Wittz. Can’t wait to see more later on!

    This is the kind of material that is excellent for anyone playing the game, especially beginners. You can write all day about strategies and how to play, but being able to see everything in person, along with commentary, is that much better.

    I understand the confidentiality some people hold about their decklists at tournaments, but they should do something like this on a big screen at States, Regionals, and Nationals. I’m sure many more people would stay for the whole tournament if they could watch the final match played out for all to see.

    The live action really lets you know how a deck works…No one in my area really plays Chenlock or any other form of it, so these videos are very informative. People can explain a strategy over a forum, but live action lets us see dynamic strategy for match-ups and the like. Keep up the quality stuff!

    Your so awesome. Keep making awesome videos!
