Andrew Butler: Tier 1 Season Match Details

March 24, 2026

4:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Centralia College [Axellent]

Opponent Character(s): Kazuya, Little Mac
Stages: Pokémon Stadium (Games 1 & 5), Small Battlefield (Games 2 & 4), Hollow Bastion (Game 3)
Final Score: 3-2 (Centralia College)
Player Feedback: "I could've played a lot more polished this set, as it was really doable. I feel as if I was matchup checked against Little Mac, and I suffered a lot due to the delay throughout the matches. Going forward, I wish to play a lot more confidently and aggressively within certain situations."

6:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Central Community College [Andrew]

Opponent Character(s): Ike
Stages: Pokémon Stadium (Games 1, 2, 3)
Final Score: 3-0 (DC Favor)
Player Feedback: "I bodied. My punishes could've been harder, but I had no issues."

7:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Hutchinson Community College [HutchCC]

Opponent Character(s): N/A
Stages: N/A
Final Score: 3-0 (DC Favor)
Player Feedback: Opponent forfeited.

March 10, 2026

6:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Hutchinson Community College [Haggy]

Opponent Character(s): Byleth
Stages: Battlefield (Game 1), Town & City (Game 2), Kalos Pokémon League (Game 3)
Final Score: 3-0 (DC Favor)
Player Feedback: "This matchup was incredibly familiar to me due to a friend playing Byleth previously, so I knew a lot of what to expect. The opponent had some bad habits defensively (bad rolls and obvious spot-dodges), which I somewhat exploited. I could've had a more polished punish game, but my spatial understanding and DI assisted me in winning."

7:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Eastern Arizona College [McCoy]

Opponent Character(s): Kazuya
Stages: Pokémon Stadium 2 (Game 1), Kalos Pokémon League (Game 2), Hollow Bastion (Game 3)
Final Score: 3-0 (DC Favor)
Player Feedback: "This matchup once again was one I have had experience with, however, to less avail historically than Byleth. My opponent struggled significantly to combo me, even opting not to grab or throw out EWGFs in a lot of instances. I had some great edge-guards this set alongside great call-outs, and in conjunction with some SD's on his part, I won this fairly effectively."

February 10, 2026

5:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Donnelly College [DOM]

Opponent Character(s): Bayonetta
Stages: Small Battlefield (Game 1), Pokémon Stadium 2 (Game 2), Battlefield (Game 3), Kalos Pokémon League (Game 4)
Final Score: 3-1 (Donnelly Favor)
Player Feedback: "Due to matchup unfamiliarity and some hard punishes experienced by Witch Time, I lost this set. In earlier games, I struggled against anti-air APK, which led to me being combo-ed pretty heavily. I also suffered a lot due to Bayonetta's moves interacting weirdly with SDI. Alongside this, I was hard-punished due to my not knowing when Bats Within or Witch-Time would be utilized. This would persist through the set. This is a matchup I should practice more."

6:00 PM | DC Mountain View vs. Northcentral Technical College [Wx1fy]

Opponent Character(s): Samus
