Official Summer of Smash: Week #4 - CEO, Karisuma 8, Xanadu

[Djent]

Karisuma 8 is live on SHI Gaming. It's still in Bo1 pools, which at Earth's tournaments are done only for seeding purposes. However, it might still be worth watching in tandem with CEO.

 

[TDK]

DKwill up a game vs Umeki.

EDIT: 2-0. APEX aside, Umeki doesn't seem to do terribly well stateside.

[TDK]

Sol is Bidou, right?

 

[Djent]

Looks like NickRiddle beat K9sbruce 2-1. He plays ANTi R1 of top 64.

 

[Davis-Lightheart]

Sol gave up using Bidou. I recall him mentioning it in a reddit post.

Did K9 really put boobs as his sponsor tag!?

His manager (who sometimes pays for his stuff) is an artist with the tag Ohnips

 

[Djent]

jespoke It's "nips," and yeah he always does that.

Anyway, Karisuma's WiFi is balls (anatomy theme ayy) and there might not be a functional stream tonight.

Comments:

• is the only notable absentee that had solid representatives in attendance. Ryo, Waldo, and Rango all drowned in pools.
• East coast is land, but it's really just another example of how prominent this character is.
• and continue to have impressive showings for perceived lower tier characters. is kind of in the same boat.

 

[TDK]

So who do you think the best active bowser jr is? I think Jade made a good case for herself.

 

[Nu~]

I'm gonna be the weird one here and predict

Ramen > False
And
Brawlman1000 > Reflex

There should be 2 Ness, FOW and NAKAT.

Karisuma 8 will not be streamed tonight due to venue internet issues, but you can follow the bracket here http://challonge.com/Karisuma8T

 

[PK Gaming]

lol

 

[Das Koopa]

since Jason's mental state was brought up I might as well go ahead and provide an update

Spoiler

https://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comments/4pqysf/sooo_mew2kingsmash_bros_player_is_being_catfished/

It was a catfish. M2K was manipulated but has resolved to move forward from it, as stated on his twitter.

 

[Y2Kay]

BrawlMan1K has fought Reflex wonder twice already. He did really well the first tkime, but appeared to be downloaded by the time he got his run back in grands.

BrawlMan1K hasn't been on stream at all. Have no idea is he playing better since their matches in KiT.

 

[Illuminose]

karisuma is a mess too. komorikiri lost to hikaru, nojinko beat nasubi, ikep out at 33rd to da-chan (little mac) and sigma, dio and mow lost to randoms (nai and alex), ri-ma lost to a random (akira). meanwhile omochi's guaranteed 9th in winners and hatsuyuki is sitting at guaranteed 17th in losers, both with the ability to make further runs (they're japan's bowser jrs). and this tournament isnt even close to over.

both america and japan feel practically random at this point...

 

[Fenny]

Are we really doing winner's side predictions after the bloodbath of upsets that ensued in pools?

 

[juddy96]

Karisuma 8, 77 entrants - Nagoya, Japan

1) Komorikiri
2) HIKARU
3) Earth
4) Ri-ma
5) Taiheita
5) Omochi
7) NAI
7) Hatsuyuki

Taiheita, nice.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

ri-ma lost to a random (akira).

Akira used to be Japan's equivalent to M2K in the early Brawl days.

 

[Fenny]

EDIT: Not necessary, ignore this

 

[Shaya]

Saying it as an aside, but there shouldn't be any further conversation on the situation with M2K.
Thank you.

 

[Emblem Lord]

Trela was knocked out of the tournament by a Lucario?

I can already feel Emblem Lord 's rage seep through my computer screen.

Eh.

Lucario is super volatile. The only thing that sucks about losing to a Lucario, is that you really don't learn much. You don't get better at the game generally. You just gotta run away more next time you get a stock lead and try to watch out more for random bair or force palm grabs.

It's a shame doubles is not being streamed. The team/character diversity there looks rather impressive.

Ally / Tweek?

Trela / VoiD?

ZeRo / Nairo?

/

Pugwest / Marss?

I don't have a great guess for either of these...

I actually don't have a good guess for this Sheik/ M2K?

/

Dabuz / Hyuga?

/

ANTi / Larry?

How close was I?

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Think it is ally and m2k
trela and Vinnie

 

[Djent]

I linked the bracket lol

 

[Trunks159]

Its amazing how consistent Pugwest and Marss are in doubles.

 

[Djent]

It looks like doubles is finally getting streamed on Polaritygg once Melee finishes.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

BrawlMan1K has fought Reflex wonder twice already. He did really well the first tkime, but appeared to be downloaded by the time he got his run back in grands.

BrawlMan1K hasn't been on stream at all. Have no idea is he playing better since their matches in KiT.

He was on stream earlier and he is a like super offensive Sonic, played much better than in those videos

 

[Djent]

OK, now doubles bracket is looking like city.

 

[NegaNixx]

Tweek doesn't appreciate a Doubles Bracket that's FLUDDed with Marios.

 

[Man Li Gi]

When is the stream gonna be up?
