The 2GGC: Civil War Discussion Thread

If Larry wins this, the Top 8 will consist of 8 completely unique characters.

Wew.

 

[Fenny]

Can we appreciate Dabuz for doing the unthinkable and staying consistent even in this hot mess of a tournament?

Can we also appreciate Larry for making it this far when he lost in pools?

 

[MarioManTAW]

Top 8 is 3 Team ZeRo, 5 Team Ally

 

[Lord Dio]

Man, that desperation from Mr. R at the end.

Desperation from Mr R about not getting grabbed? Was it on the level of three spotdodges in a row?

 

[Nathan Richardson]

Even more character diversity FTW yes! Ok but now what? We wait for the brackets to come up eesh.

 

[Minordeth]

Well, first, Dabuz is becoming a monster. Those Rosa dittos were savage.

Also, I called this back in the first few pages, but Loser's-bracket Larry is da bes.

 

[SaltyKracka]

Rosa's not top tier, guys.

 

[Betatech]

larry 1- kirihara 3

Impressive stufff by larry but he couldnt get past kirihara

 

[MarioManTAW]

Kirihara 3-1 > Larry Lurr

 

[NotLiquid]

Wew.

I just had to jinx it

 

[Minordeth]

Welp. Still a massive run from Larry.

 

[Lord Dio]

Larry's out?

GUYS
HIKARU is the only player who could give Fatality a bit of trouble.
Fatality could actually win Civil War, or at least get to GFs.

[MarioManTAW]

Only 1 of the top 10 PGR is in top 8.
ONLY ONE.

 

[Nathan Richardson]

For all we know the GFs are going to be Link, Ryu, DK, and Falcon. We can't be sure yet.

 

[Twizman]

These ads are classic :D

 

[Lord Dio]

How long until Top 8?

 

[L9999]

Only 1 of the top 10 PGR is in top 8.
ONLY ONE.

Dabuz deserves respect. He never gets upseted.

 

[NotLiquid]

Hikaru is in a bit of a tough spot. Going against Kirihara first spells danger since he already got sent to Losers in a dominant fashion by Aba's pocket Rosa. Going up against a main is going to be much harder.

The most interesting bracket outcome would be if CaptainZack beats Dabuz, mostly because it'd avoid a Rosalina ditto as our Grand Finals.

 

[Minordeth]

Captain Zack's Bayo is really the last unfavorable MU for Rosa, at least according to Dabuz's MU chart.

It is very possible. Zack has manhandled Dabuz's Rosa and forced him to go Olimar before, and Zack as been almost at dominant here at Civil War as Dabuz.


If it ends up being Zack and HIKARU in GF's, they should start with a Dance off before the match, lets Dance Boys vs the DK Rap!!! lol

 

[Minordeth]

Realistically, Dabuz is the favorite, so the winner of the tourney will obviously be T.

 

[Betatech]

WHAT ON EARTH WERE THOSE 1ST 2 STOCKS. 1 AFTER ANOTHER 5 SECONDS LATER!

 

[TDK]

Reminder that Link is a good character

 

[Fenny]

btw NairWizard

I gotta say, doesn't this tourney kinda make it apparent that you can play just about whoever you want as long as they have enough exploitable tools?

 

[NairWizard]

No, lol, not at all.

As hype and awesome as this is (this man Locus is making me want to main Ryu), it's one tournament. One.

don't forget that Megaman got 2nd at EVO


and then (almost) never did anything notable again once people learned the matchup

 

[Betatech]

And 3 Marss- 2 locus

what a start to top 8

 

[MarioManTAW]

Marss 3-2 > Locus

 

[Wintermelon43]

I'm almost just as shocked that something normal happened then I would be if the upset had happened.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Locus: *beats Nairo* *loses to Marss*

 

[soniczx123]

Btw, is Hikaru really young or does he just have a baby-face?

He just graduated HS like 2 weeks ago, if that says something.

 

[ZSaberLink]

He just graduated HS like 2 weeks ago, if that says something.

Ah ok, that sounds about right. I thought he was in high school.

 

[Fenny]

You can't exactly get used to characters who can consistently kill you below 70-80% but fair enough rofl

 

[FeelMeUp]

Hikaru has done well mostly avoiding ZSS, Sonic, and Rosa, but this could be the end.

 

[TDK]

HIKARU gave Kirihara the hands just then

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Ah ok, that sounds about right. I thought he was in high school.

So with HIKARU and Zack, that is 2 players 18 or under in the top 8 at the biggest Smash 4 competition ever

It looks like the young blood is starting to take over this game..

 

[Twizman]

Why did he down throw? Wasn't Kiri at kill percent?

 

[Betatech]

kirihara 3- hikaru 1

that little mac gamble didnt in any way pay off

 

[TDK]

And that's why Little Mac will forever be a low tier

 

[Twizman]

Good call NotLIquid, tough matchup.
