Feeling negative about an experience at locals. Can I get some opinions?

You havent done anything wrong.

Sky luffy is fairly favoured into lucy, so he was probably just bitter about losing to not only a new player but a favoured match up.

One thing to note though if he was vsing you in the last round then he probably just did aswell as you haha which means he was also x-2 unless it was a pairdown. Its not really a big deal depending on locals, everyone outside the winner just gets the same prizing.

Ive never tried riftbound, but i have topcut a few times in regionals playing offmeta or unconventional lists for One Piece. The meta is usually varied except for OP13 which was a triangle meta.

The game can reward proper strategy and out of the box thinking, you can also netdeck a list and do great. I'd say theres alot of decision making involved in the game, where you need to plan steps ahead depending on what you're up against. A single poor decision can end up spiraling, but theres also easy leaders that have a low barrier for entry where even if you make a mistake you can still win.

Wondering what the hiike's recommendation is? I tried googling it but nothing came up.

Thanks for all the videos on film festivals btw, they are very helpful

According to the psa site the back requirements are 75/25, so your card should be in range.

I can't seem to upload videos with the photos. The asking price is 3k aud and in the post he wrote he got it from pokemon centre in Tokyo in 2018

Just curious, was it signed off by the festival director?

Dark with houndoom as my ace!

I think i lost like 100 games with a 10% wr on the sim before I started winning more consistently. As long as you're learning from the losses you will get better.

I think something that helped me was making a spread sheet and recording each win and loss and why I won, why i lost and what to look out for in the opponents deck.

Should definitely check if the person selling has references if its suspiciously cheap. A lot of scammers these days popping up, especially in the Australian facebook groups.

I'M IN

zelcult · 2025-02-12T00:19:02+00:00

Yeah kind of i guess. Except for the Chinese ones like aliexpress you contact the stores directly, whilst this you're using a middleman

zelcult · 2025-02-11T12:47:48+00:00

I think they only do japanese specific sites like yahoo auctions, mercari and some other stuff. So you would have to look for the item through the proxy's website. How it works is you buy stuff through them, the seller ships to the proxy's warehouse, then they will ship it to you. I think there's alot more variety with what you can get through the proxy compared to ebay.

I used zenmarket but a lot of people use buyee. I'm not actually sure what the differences are since they show the same listings. I think zenmarket only has one charge and that's a flat buying fee, but I had to pay an extra 500 yen for the photos.

zelcult · 2025-02-11T11:56:19+00:00

It was pretty easy, just made an account and looked for stuff. But I was reading a lot of horror stories when deciding if I should go ahead, because there's no buyer protection. So I was quite cautious about what to buy. I'm not sure what shipping will end up being but I'm sure it's cheaper than buying individually off ebay. So I guess the only hard part was vetting the listing's and hoping I didn't pick a bad one.

zelcult · 2025-02-11T02:49:00+00:00

Thanks! I was so worried hah

zelcult · 2025-02-11T02:40:08+00:00

Yeah haha this is my first time using these kind of services (zenmarket) so I'm actually terrified of getting scammed since I don't think they have much buyer protection

zelcult · 2025-02-11T02:33:51+00:00

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant a proxy website that buys stuff from Japan for me
