Round 1 Me vs. Mark Vasquez
The first Duel:  (starting from the middle of the duel)I drew Cyber Jar and set it face down.  I had to Elogant Egotist in my hand along with solemn judgment and another magic card.  He set some traps/magic on the field and left his field open.  I draw a heavy storm and activate it.  Turns out to be Dragons Capture Jar and Roblin Goblin' (i also destroyed my solemn judgement) and I flipped Cyber Jar destroying his man-eater bug.  1 of the two lv. 4 monsters i picked up was harpies lady, the other mahal vailo.  I attached axe of despair to mahal vailo and play rageki and the two elogant egotist.  He losess to me 5500 - 0, i just took one shot from his lone summoned skull.  The second Round i rushed at his life points with my mahal vailo and summoned skull.  I win the round 4700-0.  Before the duel we traded my holo summoned skull for his mahal vailo.  Ironic isn't it?

Round 2 Me vs.  Chang's Beatdown deck
Chang was really good.  He beat first duel 0-3300.
Second duel, i finally get a harpies lady with two elogant egotist.  He trap holes my harpies lady but i end up reborning it and attack his life points.  He destroyed my harpies lady (i thought it was a brilliant move to destroy harpies lady cause i couldn't use elogant egotist) with his face down Man-eater bug. But he left his life points open for an attack from mahal vailo attached with axe of despair.
Third duel:  I play cannon soldier in attack mode attached with malovent nuzzler. I sacrificed my witch of black forest and got summoned skull.   I play sangan face down and he plays a monster in defense mode.  I play change of heart and sacrificed his hane hane to play summoned skull.  Then sacrificed sangan and got harpies lady from my deck. I defeated him in a close duel 1500-0

Round 3:  Challenge-How fast can I eat these McDonalds fries (I got a bye and just took it as a lunch break)

Round 4: Me vs. ------(forgot his name but he had a Lord of D. Deck)
PATHETIC
NOT bragging at all but lord of d. decks just don't cut it.  It'll never survive against beatdown decks. 
1st duel: 
I play Cyber Jar face down. (remember this is the second turn) I flip cyber jar and i pick up 2 dark elvess and a summoned skull with a mirror force with seven tools.  He picks up a blues eyes red eyes and serpent night dragon.  His life points wide open I sac. one of the d. elves and play summoned skull.  attack his life points.  on his turn he gives up because he says he has nothing to defend.
2nd Duel
Blow out again.  I play Mahal Vailo and Cannon soldier alone with just trap hole.  I just kept attacking and one time he played defense mode with a lord of d.  He Play heavy storm trying to say that it was a mirror force, i attack anyway.  He bluffs but i win.

Final Found: Me vs. James Orbon
Beatdown deck again.
A good one
I win the first duel against him with my summoned skull and ask of despair. 
I lost the second round against his lucky heads Jurai Gumo. 
The third due was soo close.  :
4100 (me)- 3500 he i attack his cyber jar.  I should've used raigeki.  I pick up 2 malovent nuzzler and mahal vailo and Witch of Black forest with mirror force.  He picks up seven tools of the bandit 2 magic jammer, a summoned skull and jurai gumo.  I thought that i was able to play mahal vailo but i rememered that i had already played summoned skull before the flip.  On his turn he plays hane hane in defense mode. I play mahal vailo and attack with the 2 malovent nuzzlers and mahal vailo was sent to my hand and the equipment to the grave.  He plays Jurai Gumo (STUPID CARD!)  and gets heads on the flip I activate mirror force but he activates seven tools.  I draw Blues Eyes White Dragon.  Pathetic.  I lose when he plays another jurai gumo to mock me and attacking my life points  (losing both coin flips AHHHHHH!) I lose 0-625.
