Sup guys, I’m back with another Weiss Schwarz locals report from Desu-Nation in Southern California! I haven’t been doing this for the past couple weeks out of laziness, but I’m back with another week of reports, this week with some very interesting decks showing up to play!

First off, this week had 22 players, many of which were not regulars of the shop. We had a lot of players coming in from out of town and even some from out of state, because of the Spring Fest tournament which will be happening in Pomona.

As usual, here are the decks used today as well as the top places:

S.inons A.re O.P (my Sinon Waifu deck <3)

Sword Art Online (Blue/Yellow)

Sword Art Online (Red – the “Beth Gun” deck, Lisbeth + Death Gun)

Girlfriend Beta (Red)

Girlfriend Beta (Blue)

Girlfriend Beta (Yellow)

Kill la Kill (Red/Green)

Kill la Kill (Blue/Green)

Kantai Collection (Blue/Yellow)

Kantai Collection (Yellow/Green/Blue – DD-class only Deck)

Project Diva f (Yellow/Blue – Len, Rin, and Kaito)

Project Diva f (Green/Blue – Miku-based)

Persona 4 ver. E (Red/Green – Yukiko + Chie)

Devil Survivor 2 (Yellow/Blue)

Angel Beats (Red/Yellow)

Terraformars (Green/Blue – Bugs deck)

Da Capo (Green/Blue – Music deck)

Psychopass (Red/Blue)

Fate (Red/Yellow – Avenger, Archer, Rin – burn 6 Event)

Crayon Shin-chan (Red/Yellow)

Nisekoi ver. E (Green/Blue – Kosaki focus)

You may notice there are only 21 decks here, this is because one guy entered the tournament (he even paid) and then left. I don’t even know what the guy looked like, the TO just told me the guy paid and then jumped ship LOL

Anyways, top 4:

Sinon Waifu deck and Devil Survivor 2 (we split 1st place) (see above) Crayon Shin-Chan (Red/Yellow) Da Capo (Green/Blue)

Before I get into the matches, here’s the decklist I used today:

Do note that this deck is NOT currently able to be built in English SAO, even with the English release of SAO II Extra Booster. It contains the 1/1 Sinon PR from the Namco event, which is a JP-only card. Sorry folks :^(

On to the matches.

ROUND 1: vs. Girlfriend Beta (Blue)

This game went fairly evenly on both sides. Neither of us ever held full control of the board or any overwhelming advantage over the other person. This Blue deck was a large contrast to the Blue deck that a friend of mine uses (my current opponent is not a regular to our shop, so I was not familiar with his build). My friend uses an aggressive soul rushing build with the 1/0 Rui to get more cards. The deck I was currently playing against liked to use cards that give global power on the opponent’s turn, to make a wall of high-power characters. Some parts of the game, I wasn’t able to kill his cards on my turn, but on his turn he was not able to kill mine either. It was pretty silly, but it made us think about our positioning a bit more than usual. I ended up on top with a double Sinon climax combo to hit him from 3-1 to game.

ROUND 2: vs. Kill la Kill (Red/Green)

This game started off rather oddly as my opponent played the 0/0 4500 to start off the game (when it comes into play, you have to kill another character on your stage, but he had no other characters, so he didn’t have to kill anything). So since I could not get over it, I direct attacked him on a side column. But for the next few turns, he did not attack my characters. He just kept direct attacking me. So on my next turn I played ANOTHER character to the side column, and direct attacked him twice. And on his next turn he direct attacked me again. Odd game indeed. Eventually we were both at higher levels from just hitting each other for several turns, and although I got a double Climax Combo from my Sinon lv3s, he cancelled a whole bunch of times and had a chance to kill me in return. However, I was at 3/1 and I really only needed to cancel like 1 of his three attacks (I ended up cancelling two of them) and then I just hit for the win.

ROUND 3: vs Girlfriend Beta (Red)

This was easily the most unfair game of the tournament, as my opponent started with like a billion climaxes in his hand to start the game off. A couple of my climaxes later and the opponent was wayyy behind in damage after not being able to cancel most of my attacks, which were for multiple soul apiece. The game ended really quickly with my win.

sry Hy 😦 I’ll remember to bring your Wixoss decks next week LOL

ROUND 4: vs. Kill la Kill (Blue/Green)

This game was derp; can’t really say much about it. Opponent hits me for like 9 straight. Then I hit him back for like 9 straight. Something something I cancelled more than he did. It was a very vanilla game. Eventually I got double Climax combos with Sinons and secured a 4-0 record in the tournament so far.

After this round, myself and the Devil Survivor player were the only people going into round 5 with a 4-0 score, so we decided to Tie that game and split the 1st and 2nd place prize down the middle.

Winning a tournament feels good; winning with your favorite character makes it all the better.

Hope you enjoyed! If you have any questions feel free to comment on reddit or leave a comment here (I think that’s a thing, I’m still pretty new to WordPress lmao).
