1st Duel

Terminator vs Beatdown deck kid
Round one
Me:8000-4200-2300-won       Opponent:8000-3200-0
I've attacked him for just two turns. Here how's it goes: He played first by placing one facedown monster and no traps/ spells on his field. My turn, I activated change of heart and special summon Jinzo + Limiter removal and attack his life points directly 4800 and placed call of the haunted facedown. After my turn, He placed 1900 monster on attack mode and I used call of the haunted and revived Jinzo and he paused and decided not to attack. But that's wrong, my turn, I drew limiter removal and played my mechanical chaser and activated limiter removal. Game Over!

Round two
Me:8000-won                          Opponent: 8000-0
He cant believe his eyes wherein I overkilled his lifepoints in one turn. He just drew 5 crappy cards and doesn't placed any monsters and traps on the field and that's his first move. I drew Limiter removal,Jinzo,Mechanical Chaser, Graceful charity and Monster reborn. I've played Graceful charity and drew 3 cards and selected Cannon soldier and Jinzo to be discard. Played monster reborn for Jinzo and placed mechanical chaser on the field + limiter removal 4800+3700= 8500"Rise my beloved machines". You've been terminated!

2nd Duel
Terminator vs Rick (Dark deck)
Round one
Me:8000-5700-5650-3700-won    Opponent:8000-4950-4850-0
I recall that he placed WOBF on attack mode and no traps on his field without knowing that I can attack his monster immediately. Summoned Cannon soldier + 2 Limiter removal= 5600 and attacked his WOBF 5000 damage. Additional tribute Cannon soldier for 500 more damage. Woweee!
Round two
Me:8000-6600-5400-4600-2600-won     Opponent:8000-6600-5900-2100-0
He decided to let me play first so I played Mystic tomato on attack mode and placed ROD and Wabuko on the field. After my turn, He played change of heart my mystic tomato. He supposed to special summon a monster but I quickly chained it with ROD 1400 both life points affected. All I remember,I destroyed his life points with my mechanical chaser + limiter removal 3700. Nice game and we shaked each other hands. I gave one of my japanese booster pack as a token of friendship. And first of all, I never ever collect Yu-gi-oh! japanese cards.

3rd Duel
Terminator vs Exodia deck kid
Round one
Me:8000-7200-5200-3200-won        Opponent:8000-6150-0
He played a lot of japanese cards even his exodia too. Word of advice: Don't be fool on your opponents explaining their own japanese cards and consult the judge right away so that they can look on their japanese listing. Excuse me dude! I'm not born and raise in Japan and can read and write japanese words .I have the right to ask the judge to identify the cards. No cheating ok! I guess he have a plan of his own.His friend was in my back and looking on my cards. I tried cover my cards just in case if they're going to cheat. I hate cheaters! So the judge approached to us and his friend immediately walked out. Hmmm! Advice current duelists: watch out for those cheaters! Be alert and smart! Tell your judge right away! So that your opponents will be disqualify.

Round two
Me:8000-7300-6600-4600-3600-2600  Opponent:8000-5600-Exodia won
This guy really pissed me off . He asking me why I'm consulted the judge for identifying the cards and I replied that I have rights to know those cards. Wohhh... you haven't play an experience player dude. Anyhow, I lose this round coz he summoned 5 pieces of Exodia.

Round three
Me:8000-7200-5200-3800-won   Opponent:8000-4300-2650-1650-1150-0
Immediately,I used my side deck and change 2 limiter removal for 2 mystical space typhoon, 1 scapegoat for 1 delinquent duo and 1 cyber jar for 1 yata garusu. This really works! At the beginning, he placed 2 trap cards on the field and end his turn. On my turn, I played MST and destroyed one of his trap. I've summoned mechanical chaser + limiter removal and attacked his life points.Placed call of the haunted and torrential tribute facedown. All I know I've destroyed his life points by hand disruption and that's exodias weakness. Yes! I made it to the semi-final!

BREAK
I'm glad that my younger brother is still competing in the tournament and went to semi-final. While waiting for the judges decision whose going to be in the semi-finalists. I went to the restroom and relax a little bit and do some stretching.I came back with my mind fresh and ready for duel. The judge stated that one of us will buy. It's my younger brother. Whooo He's lucky! He's automatically waiting for 1st , 2nd and 3rd place. Here's the semi-final duelists:

1.)Gary - Machine Deck    
2.)Neil (brother) - Basic beatdown Deck-All English     
3.)Joseph(Kapolei's champion)- Japanese warrior Deck

Me:8000-3300-3100-2650-1850-450-won     Opponent:8000-5600-4200-2800-0
He couldn't believe that I won this game even me too. Fiber jar saved me! Reset game and I haven't summon any monster yet and my opponent has an open field. I drew 5 cards Sangan,Cannon soldier, Graceful charity, Heavy storm and Harpie's feather duster. I used Graceful charity and drew 3 cards: Monster reborn, Scapegoat and ROD. Discarded Sangan and Heavy storm. I activated monster reborn for sangan and summoned cannon soldier and attacked his life points 2400 life points damage and  tribute sangan and cannon soldier itself for additional 1000.

I used my side deck right away.I change my cyber jar for fairy lily injection inorder for me to finish the job well.He also used his side deck too. Too make the story short, My lily destroyed his life points. Game over! Nice game Joseph! I know you will regain your title back by next month. But I know that this month will be mine :) We shaked hands. Nice game dude!

1st Round
This kid is 8 years old and a tough player too. He got some advance japanese cards. He stated that his older brother constructed his deck too. Hmmmm.... His older brother eliminated on the current tournament game and sat in his side too. No coaching pls! I've burned his life points with my mechanical chaser and jinzo with limiter removal 8500 Wowee!

2nd Round
Me:8000-7600-6900-5800-5100-3500-2700-400-0 Opponent:8000-7600-6500-4650-3650-won
He have won this round by summoned his 2000 raging gorilla and killed my life points.

3rd Round
Me:8000-7950-won                        Opponent:8000-0
Limiter removal dominated this round with all my machines in the field for just  two turns. Game Over! I've won!You've been terminated!

My brother didn't made it for the 2nd place coz he lose with this kid before I've duel him. I supposed to duel my brother after this match but he decided to forfeit coz he felt tired and exhausted. So I automatically won the game "I'M THE NEWEST CHAMP IN KAPOLEI!" I  received 40 dollars store credit and my brother received 20 dollars store credit too. We went to the store and added our store credit to 60 dollars and bought Soul Caliber 2 -Xbox game$49.99 . We've used the remaining 10 dollars and added 20 more dollars inorder for us to buy Golden Sun 2- Game Boy Advance game$29.99. We went home happily and started playing with the new games we bought. I'm pretty sure that my deck will be more deadlier than ever when they release that new set this month. Magical Scientist , Breaker  and Virus you'll  be mine soon!

It's all in your strategies how you play the game of YU-GI-OH! eventhough you have the cheapest cards in your deck. Just be careful on your move and take time. Don't be in hurry. Focus and believe in your deck coz you're the one who build it. Keep smiling! FUN is the key word for YU-GI-OH!
