Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

[zeldasmash]

Dat Mario UpB KO off the top! O_O

 

[ぱみゅ]

Seagull got bopped on. This day keeps growing better and better

Is he going to blame his lose on Customs, too?

 

[MrTeddyBear]

Anyone else get that frame drop right when Ally killed Seagull in the second match?

 

[Vipermoon]

Nice job Ally. In my book, he represents MI. That's where he hangs out during summers and he's always welcome and I think that's good enough.

 

[hypersonicJD]

Poor Seagull... He just got rekt. I'm amazed for that.

 

[Darkmoone1]

Guys Ready for some Bowser Jr. from Tweek? I know I am. :D

 

[Drarky]

Yes.


But ohhh boy, Ally just demolished Seagull

And now the Tweek hype, looking forward this.

Edit: MM vs Jr... WHO SHOULD I ROOT NOW ;-;

 

[Djent]

Tweek...geez.

 

[FullMoon]

Oh so that's why the other thread got locked lol.

 

[hypersonicJD]

We ****ed up

Tweek was pretty hype. Especially in the first set. Dat anger kill was amazing.

 

[Shaya]

Whilst we're in super hype mode, better to have a dedicated thread for it~
(Remember that I also plan to make a new thread as well, it's easier for me this way too!)

No one's in trouble really, although non-diagnosed OCD feelings towards all the 2 word posts that were going on, BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT THREAD... nothing else.
Carry on

 

[Drarky]

Every time a Mega Man appears, they give me a little bit of hope.

And then they get crushed along that hope.

I'm sad, really sad.

 

[Wintropy]

Trilogy walling out Day for days.

I question if Ness gains anything from customs, compared to Sheik's stun needles and insta-bang grenades.

Doesn't really gain anything I believe, no.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Is that good ol' Today?

I'd imagine Day would be using PSI Vortex in the vs Sheik/Diddy matchup as Magnet is useless, but it doesn't really add a lot. Edgeguarding potential and footstool combos but both are situational and need to be explored further. It did receive the endlag buffs that Magnet did, which is good.

One of your hope was NinjaLink and he didn't feel like going.

 

[hypersonicJD]

I don't know why. But now Ness is looking really slow for me. Like some Ness players are lacking something.

 

[Wintropy]

Doesn't really gain anything I believe, no.

Yeah, isn't it really just a choice between default and ersatz Lucas?

When you can just, y'know, stick to what Ness does best and run with Lucas if that's what you're into.

Oof, that explosive Rocketbarrel and magic banana. Diddy ain'tent dead.

 

[FullMoon]

After today I think aMSa is scarred for life by that banana -> explosive rocketbarrel combo lol.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Is that good ol' Today?

Yeah that's her.

 

[MrTeddyBear]

Aaaaaaand it's a timeout.

 

[Unknownkid]

So far, which characters we have not seen on stream yet? I guess the obvious Mii Gunner or Swordfighter. Ryu, Lucas, and Roy are not allowed at EVO. Has anyone used Mewtwo yet? Wii Fit, Samus or Jigglypuff (other than H-Box).

Oh Ganon? Have we seen a Ganon?

 

[Wintropy]

OH MY GOD.

I just missed the last twenty seconds.

Someone please tell me how Day pulled that off.

Remarkable.

 

[Shaya]

Oh just a reminder, if you're interested in keeping tabs on updates/information I can give you an early post in the thread/the OP. Let me know~

 

[hypersonicJD]

MII GUNNER HYPE GUYS. I hope this is a good match.

Edit: Nevermind. It's Mii Brawler.

 

[Superbat]

When ness isnt facing an energy projectile user they usually opt for PSI vacuum @ Wintropy

PSI Vacuum: Ness draws opponents in with a Green Magnet and once the move is released, an explosion attack foes around him

quote from amazing ampharos. Its nothing too crazy but it gives ness another option so thats cool. I've seen shaky (top ness) use it in tourney.

Yeah, I remember my brother hyping about it when the game first dropped.

I've never seen a custom Ness, to be honest, I have no idea what he's capable of.

Ganondorf, Samus, Ike, Robin, Wii Fit Trainer, Shulk, Duck Hunt, Mewtwo, Swordfighter, and Gunner.

 

[thehard]

Don't usually like watching Olimar but Rich Brown is great!

 

[ぱみゅ]

EE's commentary is just soooooo good! He alone makes uneven games to look hype

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Ganondorf, Samus, Ike, Robin, Wii Fit Trainer, Shulk, Duck Hunt, Mewtwo, Swordfighter, and Gunner.

As far as I'm aware, I don't think any of our good Ikes actually ended up going to EVO?

I could be wrong, but I don't remember hearing them saying that they were going.

 

[outfoxd]

Speaking of which, have not seen a single person play him yet. Anyone that represents the Dog at all?

Probably not. People got smart unless they put in Zigzag time.

SM is on the rise and he got first in his pool. He's not considered among the level of the best, but he's been improving by going to tournaments frequently.

 

[Asdioh]

OH MY GOD.

Remarkable.

Err.. you saw the sudden death results, she lost by timeout rules. That was also the first time I recall seeing the battering banana custom?

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Yeah, I remember my brother hyping about it when the game first dropped.

I've never seen a custom Ness, to be honest, I have no idea what he's capable of.

He gets knockoff versions of Lucas's specials, plus Rising PK Flash (goes only up), PK Bonfire (super laggy and short ranged, but the fire pillar does tons of damage), Rolling PK Thunder (standard "slow + powerful"), and PSI Vacuum (no absorbing, windbox in and hitbox on release).

 

[TriTails]

Damn. Rage + Aura Lucario can be evil.

 

[Kofu]

Jesus Christ what is this Greninja.

aMSa's movement is so godlike oh my god.

I wonder if he just went Greninja because it was G&W and is going to switch to Pikachu once things get tough.

Was the Game & Watch notable or...?

Either way he may have gone Greninja just because of the MU. I don't think Pikachu loses but it can't be a fun matchup for the rodent.

 

[Wintropy]

Ah, that makes much more sense. I was wondering how she turned that around so quickly.

Context is, as always, important~

 

[ぱみゅ]

Ohboy. Apologyman will come to our National next week. Starting to look a bit too scary....
