After losing to Big D early, this was Acola's losers run: 3-0 MKLeo 3-0 Glutonny 3-2 ProtoBanham 3-1 Kurama 3-0 Big D 3-2 Tweek 3-1 Tweek Ngl, I don't know how anyone is going to beat this kid if he continues to play the way he did during Summit. Those spotdodges and parries against Tweek...

Ngl all the Steve ban talk completely overshadowing GnW's first supermajor win (outside of an offhanded swords comment) kinda stings at lot lol. And coming off the brink of that event, if Japan was already on the fence about banning Steve, acola's performance at Maesuma really isn't going to do...

Meta shifts is an element to consider concerning Steve, especially if you look at how the US has been handling him currently vs. Japan. We all know that acola is one of the most dominant players in his region and has overcame MUs you'd think Steve wouldn't do that great in (Yoshi and Shulk...

I don't really know if Steve is banworthy or not tbh, but, I'll say this. That might've been the most depressing Maister losses I've had to sit through, even moreso than the 6-0 reversals he went through at COLOSSEL and Frostbite.

Just looking at the difference between how the two play currently, Miya's neutral and advantage might even be scarier than Maister's. Miya's backward aerial drift combined with full hop NAir's and FAir's massive hitboxes really abuses the risk characters take in approaching GnW, and his...

Two fun facts about the tournament posted below this: This is the second offline tourney Miya :ultgnw: has ever attended ever since his Wi-Fi dominance, the first being Maesuma TOP 8. Despite his underperformance there, he ends up placing 1st at this tournament, most notably reverse 3-0'ing Yn...

This post will sound a little shallow compared to NAirWizard's really solid write-up of MKLeo's Aegis, but if I were to put things into a layman's terms, I'd say he plays Mythra like a sword character the most out of any Pythra player. That sounds silly at first, but if I recall how other Aegis...

What's funny to me when thinking about how Light lost against acola when he absolutely dominated yonni/DDee was that acola didn't even really do much "haha funny block man" gimmicks like yonni/DDee like planking. In fact, he basically did the opposite of that in his set against Light, and his...

I want to make a bigger write up later, but can we all take a moment to appreciate just how far Light has come with his character? Dude’s been pulling new tricks left and right with his character and has consistently displayed a level of optimization with Fox that’s far more impressive to me...

Today I re-learned having good air weaving and broken DTilts is good to have against Cloud

With so many interesting - borderline insane - stories to tell from this event, including but not limited to: Gluto only losing to MKLeo this entire tournament run, and MKLeo's own thoughts on Gluto's main suggesting that he might be better than Aegis, A Ryu who almost cracked Top 8 at a...

ROB is lowkey top 3. Only thing holding Zomba back at this point is his own mentality. Let's see if that gets fixed in this top 8 later.

Here's a little something new that peeps can sink their teeth into (most notably Sora enthusiasts): Maister ended up partially going Sora at an offline weekly! Most notably, he defeated NAir's :ulthero: in a 3-2 set: I definitely want to analyze and comment on this later, cause there's a LOT...

The comparison to :4bayonetta:wasn't too common if I recall correctly (and if it was drawn, it was often lambasted), but the comparisons to :4cloud:were definitely made and more abundant. Linear swordies that were simple to pick up as both a main or a pocket, had multiple buttons whose numbers...

Out of curiosity, I ended up rewatching LeoN v Sparg0's sets from Port Priority and Collision respectively, and the biggest difference I saw between the two sets was LeoN's patience. Rather than trying to interrupt Sparg0 in the middle of his set-ups and plans - something he tried often in Port...
