Byako No More

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 28, 2009, 12:08 PM


Yup, I lost.
Let's take a look at my opponents from BRR II

Round 1

My Entry
First real comic entry I ever made, and I was very proud of it when I first made it. You can clearly tell my inexperience by how messy it was, something that I would fix later on.
My Opponent :iconkairi-8d:
Due to events she was not able to post an entry. I liked her character though, sure did help me draw girls.

Round 2

My Entry
A rushed entry, very open and empty ish. But I liked it. It was pretty good, maybe good of done more. I did enjoy the bombs.
My Opponent :iconteokeez:
The only good opponent I had. That’s right. Only one, good, opponent. This was a close match, it could of gone either way really. I think what pushed for my win was mine was neater, if he had just cleaned up those lines for the borders.

Round 3

My Entry
Let’s not talk about it. Very poor quality.
My Opponent :iconjadedv:
I was hopin for an entry from her, but life REALLY got in the way of her and her partner. Talented artist though.

Round 4

My Entry
I was very happy with Round 4. I introduced the Tattoo's power, gave Fin a new shiny body, and overall had a lot of fun with this entry. Again my opponent didn't submit anything. See the pattern?
My Opponent:ssbguy:
Nothing here. Nothing at all.

Round 5

My Entry
Didn’t have time, Didn’t have the heart. I like the costume I made.
My Opponent :icon
Haha who participates anymore.

TieBreaker
I don’t even want to acknowledge this. I apologize in advance, but I do not find my opponents writing or characters interesting, good, compelling, or anything positive really. My entry was of course nothing great as well, probably the worst entry I have ever made.

Final Thoughts about Byako-
Poorly organized, poorly run, and the skill pool is extremely varied, favoring the unskilled and beginners. I ain’t sayin I’m that great, hell no. I have a long way to go in my art.
What really bugged me, was the changing of rules. I liked the surprises of Byako, but some surprises were better left alone. Bonus Branch Members have the same advantage as Regular Members? Extentions given for THE TIEBREAKER ROUND (I was very upset with this, it gave an unfair advantage I believe, I followed through with the deadline, I expect my opponent to follow the deadline or pay the consequences, I know I did when the situation was reversed for me). Changing judging after a result was posted due “sudden extensions.”

Think of me as you want, I did enjoy my time in the beginning of Byako. I made some good friends. Helped me grow as an artist. I suggest it for beginners who are just staring into the OC tournaments, since you honestly have nothing to lose here. Besides that though, this is one Tournament I will not be going back to.

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give;
Gas smells awful; You might as well live.
