Brackets updated for now, 6 open spots going quick and probably need a couple subs just in case.

I hope Demrow shows up so I can out him second round, maybe he beat me in spar but spar is nothing compared to RPS

I know I said I'll pay $20 to whoever outs James but please beat Inco at least James, that kid's not worth $20

Definitely, sparring is a 'children's game' compared to RPS. I'm excited to see what kind of combos people will be able to pull off. Recently, the rock, rock, scissor combo has been showing some relevance. Not to mention, the 7-0-1 paper combo definitely has potential as well. Unfortunately, that combo does not have much room for error, therefore it is quite risky. What I'd like to add is that most, if not all of these rounds will be skill-based, I see no luck involved.

The big problem with the 7-0-1 combo is it works in earlier rounds but later it is not very effective. I'd say a pretty safe strat is in beginning use the 7-0-1 then around round 4 pull out the 5-4-1 and transition it back to 3-2-1 combo and save nitro for semis as well.

Depends on the bracket. One may have to use nitro earlier or if they're lucky they can save it for finals.

bit wary of this match up, seems like there will be some bad blood after I dominate my first round opponent given this was the response when I wished them luck...

must be an intimidation tactic, I have the motherland behind me, nothing will stop me from winning

Correct, if they do have an easier match up, saving nitro shouldn't be a problem. Paired with the 7-0-1 combo early, like 205 said above, nitro should prove to give a considerable advantage near round 3-4. Likewise, personally the 6-1-6 combo has proven to be quite strategic as well.

I have a super secret personal combo saved up for later rounds
