Quick thoughts browsing through the last few pages:
Imo, people are really crapping on
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![Ness :4ness: :4ness:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
results this tourney. Not a single mention of FOW's 17th placing (except Luco's) and an argument spanning two pages whether or not
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
is top 20.
Can we just take the time to recognize just how far FOW and Fatality have brought supposed mid-tier garbage characters (especially in the case of
![Ness :4ness: :4ness:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) in a SUPERMAJOR, which had like... 367 attendees? Which is a lot? And which getting 13th and 17th for is far more respectable placings than, say, a 13th at your local 60-man tourney, or 25th at a major with attendee numbers that were a third of this saga's? (looking at you,
![Greninja :4greninja: :4greninja:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
![Lucas :4lucas: :4lucas:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
)
And by the way, before all of you jump on me: No, I do not think either of
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
or
![Ness :4ness: :4ness:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
are in the upper echelons of high tier (probably skating near the bottom of it); and yes, I still believe
![Greninja :4greninja: :4greninja:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
to be a superior character to
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. But at this point the ninja frog's just a huge bag of potential with no strong, decisive placings to lead me to believe she's (yes, she, have you seen those hips?) so much better than
![Captain Falcon :4falcon: :4falcon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
as some of you proclaim.
Either way, mad props to Fatality and FOW, and of course to MK Leo for proving all those
![Marth :4marth: :4marth:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
naysayers wrong.
