Interesting that you pointed that out Cybertron about Regionals being all about luck. It is indeed true that the ordering of players is based upon luck. I think I saw you last year at VGC 2010 at Newark, however, we didn't talk much or talk at all, I forgot.
I had thought that friend rule was not going to be used this year being all the hassle it cause in the previous years, however, it could have been rumors for all I know. 4th place Regionals? Congrats on your achievement there. Surprised how a 10-14 year old surpassed many trainers who could be from the ages 10-30 or even higher. Question cybertron, why don't I ever see you on Pokemon Online?
Looking at the haxs, I did see a beat up combo at Seattle. The double miss with the Rock Slide changed the course of the match on who would win. So, in some ways, these tournaments are based on the matter of luck.
Personally, I really think that seniors won't be as difficult as it may seem. Usually you could get through the first 2-3 rounds without having a problem. Having that said, you only need another 2-3 rounds to get a ticket. You could also escape round 3, possibly round 4 and leaving you left with round 5. Beyond that point, your going to have to play the pros like you said earlier, Rukario, Human, and you could count yourself(Cybertron) in it. So, it may not be as hard as it seems, however, it may not be as easy at it seams either, which is depending on the players you face. Like you mentioned before, luck.
I would like you battle you cybertron before VGC 2011, a friendly battle if you accept. I would completely understand if not. Good luck at D.C. or Newark. Hopefully, you would at least make top 16.
