What is your current age and when did you
start playing yugioh?
Jessy:
18, and like 3 years ago.
Ryan:
What are some of your accomplishments so
far?
Jessy:
many top 8's, umm my win at sjc philly, and
rippin off little kids.
Jessy:
ohh and meeting you!
Ryan:
How many shonen jump championships have you
attended, and how did you do in them?
Jessy: I
have attended 2 sjc's, my first one being
florida 2007, where i went 6-3, and sjc
philly where i won.
Ryan:
What did you run at the sjc you won, and did
it impact the format in any way?
Jessy:
Well I ran perfect circle, and I believe it
changed the format in a certain way.
Jessy: I
mean someone got 2nd at the next shonen jump
with it.
Ryan:
Did you attend nationals and how did you do?
Jessy: I
went 7-1, won a feature match against John
Jenson, then next round lost to Fili Luna.
Jessy:
And then scrubbed out.
Jessy:
But I did qualify at the regional the next
day for the 08 season.
Ryan:
What did you run at nationals and at the
regional the next day?
Jessy: I
ran a different varient of PC with
metamorphosis at nationals, and then ran the
same exact deck the next day.
Ryan:
Are you on a team? If so, what is the name
of the team your on?
Jessy:
ummm im actually lookin for one.
Ryan:
Oh, so your solo?
Jessy:
As of right now, yup.
Ryan: Is
there anyone that really helped you become
better at the game, and helped you advance
to where you are today?
Jessy:
My friend CHAD TOUJAGUE from florida, he's
been there to help.
Ryan: Do
you have any yu-gi-oh "stars" you look up
to?
Jessy:
lol
Jessy:
ummm not really.
Jessy:
U? lol
Ryan:
Nope
Ryan:
Are there any cards you would like to see
put on the ban list?
Jessy:
idk, what do you think spicer?
Ryan:
Ring, and Snatch steal.
Jessy:
Trap dustshoot, I like snatch, it makes the
game fun.
Jessy:
Cause of my topdeck snatch steal
Ryan:
Really trapdustshoot? Why not confiscation
instead?
Jessy:
Well, I mean dustshoot should be at 1, not
mind crush.
Ryan: I
see.
Ryan:
What do you think is the best deck in the
format?
Jessy:
Right now, I believe anything with trooper
and monarchs... doesnt matter if you run PC
or a monarch variant.
Jessy:
Yugioh is a rich game right now.
Jessy:
If you have the cards you win.
Jessy:
tell everyone to look me up on myspace.
Ryan:
What state do you live in? And what is your
rank?
Jessy:
Right now im ranked 2nd in New York, behind
some unknown named ralph something. He
beats a whole bunch of little kids in a
sanctioned tournament each week.
Jessy:
But I might be moving to florida soon. So I
dont know what I will be ranked when I move
there.
Ryan:
What do you think is most important to do
well at a large scale event?
Jessy:
knowin your rules and not misplaying. All
the top players know the game, so the only
way to beat them is to not misplay, and draw
better.
Ryan: Do
you think cheating is a major problem for
yugioh right now?
Jessy:
Im not to sure. Like alot of the same
people do top 16 alot, and when they get
there, they scrub out, maybe because the
judges are watching them. What you think?
Ryan: I
think it is a problem, but I think if you
know what to watch for, you should be fine.
Ryan:
Are there any shout outs, you would like to
make?
Jessy:
Umm yea, you for giving me the
interview, Chad Toujague, Bobby Chambers
for letting me borrow some cards for SJC
philly.
Ryan: Is
there anything you would like to say to
the yugioh fans?
Jessy:
watch out, im the next big thing.
Ryan: Do
you have a pojo account?
Jessy:
Yea, its jsamek218
Ryan:
Whats the next event you plan on attending?
Jessy:
Well my next jump is most likely SJC indy,
but i'll definitely be going to SJC
baltimore and durham.
Ryan: Ok
thanks for your time, and good luck in the
future!
Jessy:
lol, thanks spicer.
