Meta Pound 2016 Competitive Impressions

[Nidtendofreak]

Here's round 1 of pools.

Much thanks.

Lets see, Nairo, iStudying, Abadango, MVD, Boss, and San all in the same pool in round 2 (3rd pool)

Saj, Tweek, False, Day, Jdawg, Average Joe in another one (1st)

Hyuga, Scatt, Zenyou, DJ Jack, aMSa (2nd)

Marss, Wizzrobe, C3PO, Mister Eric, SmashGOD in the last one. (4th)

Which one is the death pool so far?

 

[Trunks159]

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?

If San and Rango can make it without playing againstVoid or maybe Wizrobe, Ike can have a great showing. (though im not sure where Rango is)

Rango has to get past DKWill in first pool. And while Rango has been improving a lot, I find his consistency rather shaky.

And now Ally is taking on an Ike I don't instantly recognize. RIP Ike.

Smash God used Corrin as well

 

[Yonder]

Ha-ha Draxsel, dunno who that is but using everyone? What a champ. Does he just hit the random button or something? Or like using 8+ characters?

On YT I've seen vids of him playing many many characters at weeklies in middle of nowhere New York State

3rd one so far. Any of those 6 could make top 4. I'd say Boss is playing the worst character, but anything could happen.

 

[Trunks159]

Kor = worse Ike in existence.

Seriously, Ike isn't really that hard to use. He just reveals how bad some players are.

 

[Reapers]

Abadango has been playing Mewtwo exclusively so far?

 

[juddy96]

Man why y'all going hard on this Maryland Ike player, probably his first tournament or something, it was his very first match of the tournament

 

[sedrf]

Hey look a ddd, and sheik is doing well too.
Also where are you finding these juddy

 

[Y2Kay]

He did better than I would've against fricking Ally!

It looks like Ally gave him advice after their matches finished, which was really nice of him.

 

[Y2Kay]

Why does ABA and istudying have to play each other first ;-;

 

[PK Gaming]

Kor = worse Ike in existence.

Seriously, Ike isn't really that hard to use. He just reveals how bad some players are.

Let's not dump on players who actually took their time and effort to go to this tournament.

 

[Yonder]

Sadly, Boss has no chance. All of those players listed are better than him in that upcoming pool and there's a 2nd placing at a national Greninja, iStudying. Which of course, sucks for Luigi.

 

[Tizio Random]

Yo Dabuz is CRAZY. Everytime I see him playing I learn a new setup.

 

[Trunks159]

While I think what I said was completely true, I regret my harshness.

 

[Deleted member]

Finally seein' some more . I'm pleased by this. Koolaid is playing pretty well right now.

 

[TurboLink]

I don't think I've ever seen a single Pac-Man player think to use up special near the ledge to take away ledge options. Why don't they do this more?

Also, it's not possible to dodge roll through his hydrant, right? Because then Hydrant cold cover ledge rolls back onto the stage.

 

[Ninety]

Did Abadango completely drop MK?

 

[Blobface]

Koolaid was using some really interesting shield pressure. He'd SH F-air into a shield, then footstool jump off the shield, vaulting him into the air for some charge time or a hydrant.

 

[Yonder]

Did Abadango completely drop MK?

Haven't you heard that MK is completely unviable without his 40% kill confirm?

In reality, he did say he dropped him seconds after the kill confirm was discovered gone. Dunno if he changed his mind or not.

 

[Deleted member]

Damn, that first game of Rango vs DKWill wasn't pleasant, lost his first stock after getting ding-donged three times. Still good play on Rango's part though. DK's scarier in this MU than he should be on paper.

EDIT: aaand Rango lost 2-0...

DK has a slight advantage. Don't know how much DK experience Rango has. If he hasn't played a MU before he tends to uh, not do so well historically speaking. And of course, its DKWill.

He didn't do horrible at least.

 

[Trunks159]

DKwill vs Rango:
2 - 0
4 Stocks, 4 Ding Dongs

Rango's Ike was smooth, its just difficult for players to counter the Ding Dong.

 

[Gamegenie222]

That match was gross. Anyway ohh Zard play.

 

[warionumbah2]

People still think MKs a scary character if Leos not the one using him? lol

 

[bc1910]

Rango kiiiiind of got wrecked.

That MU looked rough though. Ding Dong percent looks really lenient on Ike. Get him to 80, wait for a grab, if you get rage even better.

Also, cue more $5.99 complaints.

 

[Y2Kay]

Rip Zard

 

[Tizio Random]

That. Recovery.
That was wrong on so many levels.

 

[Pancracio17]

Aaaayeeeeeeee
5.99

 

[Ninety]

Did that Zard even use his dthrow followups, like, once?

 

[Djent]

Does anyone have a finalized schedule? I couldn't find it on Smash.gg and the chatbots are asleep.

 

[NotLiquid]

That recovery made me legitimately curious; I'm tempted to say it looked wacky just because That Guy happened to have a jump on him and performed a whole bunch of inputs, but how many characters can recover from that kind of distance?

Other than Bayonetta, Rosalina is the only one that comes to mind out of top characters. Maybe Limit Break Cloud. Sheik and ZSS have stupidly good recoveries but probably not from that low down.

 

[Djent]

Pika vs. Yoshi: Who Can Kill Later Earlier?

 

[sedrf]

Squerk actually almost took a game off of esam

 

[Yonder]

Esam plays Yoshi? Huh. Yoshi ditto, who would seen that one coming?
