Upped cards didn't really matter in the last Trial. Last time, Mini had some upped cards while I had none, and I don't think it made ANY difference at all. We were playing mirror matches, so it was basically luck that decided the winner.
My parents are slightly more lax on me now, so I don't think there will be any problems... I hope.
No offense taken from your post, Kael, but do not call me a child; there is a difference between "child" and "teenager". And I'm almost eighteen years old anyways. Doesn't it make you look stupid if you are competing for some title against a child?
