Hey I was the other granblu player in top 8! It was amazing to meet you, I've always loved your videos and your tips on nightrose helped me in this event! We didn't finish finals until about 9:45, it was a slog 😭😭 match's aren't feasible without like an hour and half round time.
Hey there! You're the Granblue player I faced in Top 8 right? I appreciate the kind words! Glad it's aided you to do very well in the event! Did you win the event correct?
@CommanderJaime yeah I was the won you fought in top 8 and went on to win the event! By the end of it I was exhausted, then had to drive 3 hours home lol. But it was worth it to attend and see everyone! I realized there so much more to learn with Granblue and I have some ideas for techs now I'm gonna start testing.
@@rexflame9 that's phenomenal to hear! Happy to hear I lost to the guy who won the whole event ha! You did great! Granblue mirrors really test players to see if they know the matchup and their deck very well. From facing you, you definitely knew what you were doing throughout our games. And our very awkward turns and even game 2 where we were stuck at 1 damage. Keep up the great work man! Till we face off next time!
@CommanderJaime thank you so much for the kind words as well 😭😭 . One of my friends you also fought with Granblur at the event, he is my testing partner and the games we did for hours on end helped me with the mirror so much.
@@rexflame9 you're very welcome! Yes I remember Aaron! It was a great face off. Game 1 for us was crazy for us! We each had a Honoly on RC at one point lol. Literally an Obadiah turn face off lol.
It's an uphill battle so there's only so much you can do. When you stride before they use Gredora, do your best to either apply pressure and/or build up your hand/field. Later on, you will not be able to superior call from drop. So Bad Bounty helps apply pressure still while superior riding into Skull Dragon. This makes your 2nd VG attack more bigger. You can also have 1 front row RG to stack triggers onto as well. Make sure to have G3s to reride during your Ride Phase. Even keep G3 Heals. You can ride those and immediately stride into Bad Bounty. You'll reride into a better G3 target anyway like Skull Dragon. You can also keep Urjula/Enpix in the back row to protect your front row RG from being stunned by effects that choose. Like Brillian Blister V. It's an uphill battle and it's Granblue's worse matchup currently. So you can only so much. Hope this helps a bit.
Great Nature, Granblue, Chaos, Aqua Force, Granblue. I switched to Nightrose for this event because I expected to face 1-2 Katrina players. There were some but ended not facing any.
@@QiliangChoo I know right! There were players but I just missed them. In Swiss I was technically 2 wins and 2 draws. At the end of the video, I explained there were other players and myself that got draws. I essentially won all my Games 1s in Swiss. The 2 draws happened because Game 2 went into time and I lost those. Causing the draw situation. In top 8, I lost to the mirror and they won the whole event. Moving forward, best 2-out-of-3 isn't feasible anymore. I'm at least grateful to experience it myself and know it first hand. Hope that helps!
@@CommanderJaime I do agree on best of 3 is not okay for p anymore due to how p games are quite long in general. Even a fast deck like Nova takes like 20min.About the draws how did they choose who go to top8? By opp win rate?
Bo3 doesn't really work in Standard either from experience. A nearby locals religiously sticks to Bo3, and I always have to prep the entire day to do it because it just takes WAY too long. I just don't like Bo3 in Vanguard.
@@jacobjensen7704 yeah Vanguard has Ride Progression that really "longates" games compared to Yu-Gi-Oh. Personally I don't mind best of one. I rather have shorter events due to it. Especially if you plan to make it to the top cut and play that out after deck check.

I was wondering what your play against gredora, I am having a real rough time against gredora because my local friend group runs it a lot.
It's an uphill battle so there's only so much you can do.
When you stride before they use Gredora, do your best to either apply pressure and/or build up your hand/field.
Later on, you will not be able to superior call from drop.
So Bad Bounty helps apply pressure still while superior riding into Skull Dragon. This makes your 2nd VG attack more bigger. You can also have 1 front row RG to stack triggers onto as well.

Bad Bounty into Skull Dragon as many times as you can. Then hope to sack triggers.
First 🥇

@@CommanderJaime you didn't face kirtina. What a surprised considering it a top3 deck in this meta

You dont have beatrice SP?
@@regularguy6896 nope unfortunately. Didn't want to pay $100+ per copy.
