[Pancracio17]

Jesus christ mewtwo, cant beleive that character isnt widely considered high of high tier yet.

 

[Funbot28]

Bayo knocking Nairo to losers... The blood gates have opened lol

 

[Thetwinmasters]

Anybody know who is projected to play larry in top 16 since nairo got upset?

 

[Zannabluke]

oh my lord scatt

 

[PK Gaming]

Scatt makes me want to main Megaman

:lol

 

[NotLiquid]

Damn Scatt I didn't think Corneria Fried Chicken would be so tasty

 

[Shaya]

The main vgbc stream is now also running smash4 - https://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp

Tournament Schedule

I like this idea a lot, rather than the main Character Impressions thread being littered with, "x, y and z occurred", deviating from main discussion. Hopefully this will be the norm for major tournaments down the line.

C3PO is Pennsylvania

 

[AnEventHorizon]

Does anyone know what character Manondorf plays? Looks like he played Ike and Ganondorf in the distant past. 3rd in his pool.

EDIT: Just saw False's Ryu, hope is alive. juddy96 Thanks for the heads up.

 

[juddy96]

Pound hasn't given me much hope for Ryu so far. Hooded seems to have fallen in pools at 13th, and DJ Jack lost pretty convincingly to Mister Eric' ROB. Jack still made it out of pools, so time will tell.

Hooded didn't show up

 

[TurboLink]

Watching a Sheik player who knows how to edgeguard is always exciting.

 

[bc1910]

Probably better suited for reddit.

Anyway, Mewtwo is looking clean.

 

[TDK]

is anyone else getting Melee's audio over the smash 4 stream?

Maybe I'm confusing an instance where I was watching Xzax in his home state, OR perhaps he was at a socal tournament recently? Either way I've seen the player's Diddy before.

Somewhat of a tradition already although not always followed through with~
True story: Marth boards in the Brawl days used to run "off" threads for all the majors rather than using generals, and it's where this has continued on from.

Probably. C3PO is from Central PA but he does go to Philly sometimes. He also goes to Xanadu often. Or used to.

Riz's didn't end up killing San's on game 3 until 221% with an ftilt. Damn.

 

[Nobie]

Any character that feeds well off of Rage is a concern for Sheik now.

Goooo @san.

 

[Vyrnx]

I feel like all I've watched on stream all day is mediocre Sheik players losing.

PewPewU is a mediocre Sheik..?

 

[sedrf]

Seeing so many sheiks getting bopped right now.

 

[Vyrnx]

PewPewU is a mediocre Sheik..?

not just pewpewu.
Also Pewpew was trying to edgehog lmao

 

[Deleted member]

How many Falcos are gonna show up at this tournament? This is the second one so far lol

not just pewpewu.
Also Pewpew was trying to edgehog lmao

this game is Melee if you try hard enough

 

[PK Gaming]

We need a count of Sheiks that died on-stream.

 

[Shaya]

I've probably seen just as much VoiD beating people as lesser known Sheiks losing

 

[ARISTOS]

Midlevel is dead

Missed the stream for this. Who won the set?

 

[Deleted member]

San won 2-1. Hella close set.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

San won 2-1. Hella close set.

If it was close, I can tell ya the patch probably made the difference. Particularly if he was living to over 220%, lol.

EDIT: Stream 1 or Stream 2? OP has two linked.

It was on stream 2.

Still a bad MU for Ike though, but it's at least somewhat more relaxing after the removal of her 50/50.

 

[bc1910]

PewPewU is a mediocre Sheik..?

PewPewU is a good Melee player. Doesn't mean he's a good Sm4sh Sheik.

Also Nario + iStudy in the same R2 pool.

Oh for sure. But I'll happily take a 40/60 over a 35/65 via "we can actually live consistently long enough to get Rage going"

EDIT: is there a link to bracket/pools?

 

[TurboLink]

Sheik players need to play more like Void. More aerial Needle Storm into Bouncing Fish.

Here's round 1 of pools.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

I wish smash God used more Corrin. After watching that guy use Bidou Robin it's making double think Bidou slightly. Nothing major, but slightly
