Revival of Melee 4 prediction thread.

Varist, perfect example of a typical flopmerican Mango ****rider.

The ability to perform in a international style tourney setting is obviously more valued than the ability to win friendlies, are you serious?

btw Armada has a great falco, fox, sheik, marth, young link. Mango isn't the only one to have many great characters. For tournies it seems Mango has two "tourney-mains" recently, Fox and Falco, while Armada has Peach and Young Link (which is not used to the extent of Mangos 2nd character, but still valid).

 

[Beat!]

Dude his DK is **** too

It would be awesome to see Armada play more characters! I guess he probably wants to stick to Peach in tournaments for the most part, but still it would be so cool if he played someone else as well. Not that his Peach and yl aren't great

The amount of characters he plays proficiently has no bearing on who's the better player.

It works both ways.

 

[Beat!]

Both sides are so ridiculously biased lol.

Apex will be awesome haha.

 

[Zoler]

It works both ways.

I totally agree, but some people seem to think that Mango is so special for playing a few characters and that Armada only has a good peach and nothing more.

Obviously anyone at the top level can play multiple characters really really well (except hungrybox )

Dude his DK is **** too

Most of Armadas characters are **** lol, I just listed the characters he's really really good with as in "could-get-really-high-at-a-big-tournament-and-definitely-beat-top-players-with".

Armada's lurking in this thread.

Where are the Rom4 Behind the scenes vids. Rom Behind the scenes vids are the first to come out usually.

 

[Armada]

When I read some peoples postes I don´t know if I should cry or laugh

About Mangos Falco: In both tournament matches and friendlis (not cause they really matter but still) I have more winning matches overall against Mangos Falco and more losses against his Fox. Also that both me and Mango agree that fox works better against me than Falco (if he hasn´t changed opinion the last 2 months).

Crowd: Kinda funny cause crowd have never been a excuse I can use cause it´s a part of the game. Guess that only counts one way and not both (even if it is better to have homecourt advantage to be honest)

Tournaments: Kinda funny how only US tournaments somehow counts and if Im not going it´s in my disadvantage when Mango/PP exc never have been to a tournament in Europe

Sickness: Also kinda fun that it only counts when US players are sick. In fact I have been sick more then one itme when I have been to a tournament in US. I don´t know if it is cause Im a little bit better to hold my game up when Im sick or if it is my char or if people don´t know if Im sick.
Either way it looks like it only counts sometimes in this case too.

Well guess it is impossible to change some stupid peoples mind =)

If you beat Mango again at Apex I'll have no choice but to change my mind

 

[KirbyKaze]

Armada's consistency is godlike.

 

[Archangel]

I do think at some point USA Players should make the trip over(at least a few). Maybe Beast3? It would require some Good player funding for sure but it should be done. Still so far in tournaments involving Europe and USA top players USA is 5-1. Gonna be tough to bring that back but it's possible. Armada should just stop being a jerk and let the other players from Europe use his Action Replay

I still want Mew2King to take Apex2. He did better comparatively at this event than he has in awhile. Sorry Kevin, Adam, Joseph, Juan.....I love you all in the most homo of ways but....I will be rooting against you this time around. No hard feelings???

 

[Beat!]

As many NA players as possible should come to Smashers' Reunion in Norway this summer. It'll be hype.

I'm a huge M2K fan as well, so I was happy to see him do better this time. It sucks to see him so frustrated though I feel like he needs to bring his Marth back in full force

 

[BairJew]

^nah the marths got to be gone. that sheik looks too nice

god damn i hate his falco, i have a way harder time against that stupid bird of his then when he goes peach -.-

 

[Battlecow]

Problem with american players going to Europe is PAL version. Right now NTSC is the more or less accepted international standard because all of the biggest tourneys use it, but if US players start losing in NTSC, there'll be a "well X is better in NTSC but Y is better in PAL" thing, whereas now everyone pretty much accepts that NTSC skill is all that matters for the "best player in the world" title.

Also, it's too early to call a best player in the world, but I'd put truly not-funny amounts of money on mango winning Apex, if only because of America bias. Personally, I think that Hbox is gonna beat Armada in losers this time and that either mango or PP can put him there.

 

[Luma]

wow thats a load of bull**** comming from an american about pal/ntsc, we would have guessed that....

Something I've noticed about Armada is that he never loses to the same Americans twice. He defeated Mango after his first rematch with him since the original Genesis. After losing to SS he seems to have cured his Falcon problem. After losing to Hbox he found a counter, after losing to DRPP he demolished him in their next set.

So I think he is just too adaptive to lose to Hbox next tourney. I don't think Hbox is a legitimate candidate to win Apex because he always loses to DRPP, Armada and Mango these days.

As for the best player right now I think we have a top 2. With Mango and Armada at the top. We'll have to settle it at Apex 2012.

 

[Battlecow]

I didn't say Hbox would win. Just that he'd beat Armada. His Ylink CP is gonna be too strong, and Armada could never take him with peach.

Also Luma how's it bull****? I'm not saying either version's better, just that we need a default/accepted version, and since America has way more players, it should be and is NTSC atm.

 

[Zoler]

Yea his falco is too ****, sheik fox and marth too. People don't know ****.

 

[Luma]

if you go to a pal region, you play pal
if you go to a ntsc region, you play ntsc

and thats it, if american cant adapt to pal simply means they suck, end of story

 

[Tekk]

Americans trying once again to shove their conception of something down another region's throat.

 

[commonyoshi]

A lot of sudden racism from this thread.

 

[mhenlo]

on the subject of armada being able to play a ton of chars like mango did you consider that he can play a lot of the lower tier chars in tournament because of PAL and sheiks down throw doesn't beat half the characters

 

[Thanos828]

I'll just leave this here.

No I said I didn't get 3rd seed because of it! lol

Oh ok. Colorblind johns. How did you end up doing? I would've asked you if I knew you were actually in the bracket.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

battle idk what u r talking about their is no standard excepted version of melee, u just play whatever region u r in.

Now Europe dont do another leffen thing with random America hating, b/c random hating only makes u look bad.

As ive been saying their is no evidence or proof at all that mango is better then Armada and atm Armada is the reigning champ, but that is what will makes apex so good.

Also i would really like to see top US players go and play pal, but imo the top US players might have some trouble b/c pal nerfed the space animals. but it would be interesting to see anyway.

no offense to hbox but i wont believe he can counter the ylink until he does. But who knows maybe he is doing some cp training

 

[bolt.]

I did alright. Lost to hax won vs no cash and lost 1-2 in a close set with mogwai.

How bout you?

 

[The Star King]

People fruitlessly argue about who the best player is after every large tournament and I'm tired of it.

 

[Varist]

then go to sleep.

I got 2 stocked twice by spawn and then in losers 1 stocked twice by zoso. So in pools/bracket I played a total of 1 person I hadn't played before, and that was SOLAR LOL

Wow that sucks. It sounds like you played at a mass madness/hog. Good work making it to bracket though!

Did you even understand what Battlecow was actually saying or just see an opportunity to throw in some insults towards Americans?
