I wouldn't say that, but I may value the depth of Japan more than how their top 5/10 perform compared to the USA. Reason I say this is because we have seen "B tier" Japanese players such as Ly travel and straight up beat top 5 players such as Sparg0 whereas USA's "B tier" players are never gonna...

Yeah, props to SHADIC's adaptations cause they definitely helped in bringing Sonix down but a lot of those stocks in the first set of Grands felt like Sonix just giving SHADIC a freebie with all of the Homing Attack misses (a move every Sonic main claims is trash yet they insist on using it in...

Well, guess what happened when ShinyMark could travel? :awesome:

Pikachu isn't the top 5 contender people thought he was in 2019, but I think his potential is really only held back by ShinyMark's location which forces him to travel large distances to get anywhere notable. Not that this is any of his fault, but it's unfortunate because Pikachu's results would...

Some of my favorite storylines from this weekend: Skyjay playing absolutely out of his mind in every event and taking Sonix to game 5 in an absolutely terrible matchup for Incineroar in almost every aspect (and he didn't even overly cheese Sonix or expose matchup inexperience either, it was just...

Seeding for Umebura SP#10! Some notable out of region entrants not seeded for top 64 include VoiD at seed 65, Spectral at seed 78, Homika at seed 130, and top EU Steves Artsnif and Susu at seeds 134 and 161, respectively.

This would be more interesting if ESAM's tournament schedule over the past two years wasn't like 2-3 tournaments a year at max lol. Nice to see him succeeding in content creation but he's definitely not a big-time tourney guy anymore. Gone the way of Marss.

Sparg0 explaining that the switch to Cloud for Sonix was simply because he wanted to experiment in friendlies and ended up farming Sonix after not picking Cloud vs. Sonic for at least a year is hilarious. The other things he noted like how Cloud has ways to pressure Sonic's ledge hang, unlike...

Oh man, tomorrow's matches are going to be fun. Some hype runbacks happening with Miya vs. Dabuz, Sparg0 vs. Acola, Light vs. Tweek, and ApolloKage vs. MkLeo. Glutonny vs. Tarik is also a somewhat interesting runback now that Tarik was able to take games off of Gluto in their last set at UFA...

Sonix-Miya GFs was great but I kind of hate that one of the big adaptations Miya made from WFs was just spamming the hell out of Down Smash and how it worked almost perfectly. That move is a whole ass warcrime, almost moreso than GnW Up B, Nair, Up Air, Bair... yeah this character is in the S+...

Raarchyor's performance this weekend is a great sign of things to come for Sora's meta if the playerbase continues to optimize his combo game and become consistent with it outside of the lab. He's a late-game monster waiting to happen and I am SO here for it.

Luckily thanks to his performance at DELTA, Hurt got a free trip to Port Priority 8 (the highest placing JP player that wasn't already going got that trip) which is happening in November. I'm excited to see how he performs overseas, I first saw his play in his set against Dabuz at Kagaribi and...

I think a lot of the "old Smash 4 guard" characters that were seen as weak in the beginning of the game and then got to shine more throughout the later patches still continue to be underrated by the community. Characters like Cloud and Corrin have gotten their deserved respect as of recent, but...

Imma be real, the problem with KEN and his character pool is that he doesn't tend to play matchups as proficiently as other representatives do. It's VERY clear when you compare how he plays matchups like Aegis and GnW with Sonic compared to Sonix who has labbed them to a tee thanks to his...

I love seeing Sonix write the storybook on his own character; he's said multiple times before that Sonic is insanely good, has few if none losing matchups if played right and optimized, and just like that he's starting to prove it right every time he plays. Half a year ago I would've said that...
