Chain-Ace, D1, and I have been working on it for the past 48 hours.
We're almost done, and the bracket looks absolutely amazing. I think you guys will love some of these matchups.

the only problem with this is that vish, although really good, probably is more of an upper second seed than first seed material. at least its good to know that what i thought about this pool seems to hold true.
gl btw. are you using falco or fox this time?

Did anyone else see vinies icies get 3-0'd by the japanese olimar in a 10$ bo5 MM? I did, and he cp'd FD twice.

Yeah, and then I saw Mr. R lose 1-3 as well. I wouldn't be surprised if America only gets 4 of the top 8 spots, tbqh. 
Yes, I'm pretty sure a lot of people in this thread have seen it by now.Did anyone else see vinies icies get 3-0'd by the japanese olimar in a 10$ bo5 MM? I did, and he cp'd FD twice.
Honestly, I don't see anyone stopping Nietono other than maybe DEHF. Nobody else is consistently good enough in the olimar MU.
Ally has lost to Dabuz the last two times they met iirc. Granted it was MK banned but still. This guy is on another level. He's a lot better than Dabuz imo.Anti is by all means capable of beating Nietono. And you can never count out Ally.

Nietono beat Vinnie who regularly loses to Dabuz.
Pretty sure they go back and forth. I've never seen Vinnie ragequit before.

Reminder about the Ganon Gauntlet:
If you're interested in being in the Ganon roster, post in this thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=315516 Also try to get there early so you can try out. Most of the best Ganons in the country will be trying out so it'll be tough to get on.
It will be taking place FRIDAY afternoon, probably around 3-4 pm. Signups to challenge the Gauntlet will happen AT Apex, first come first serve.

Look, I've been telling you guys for years that Nietono is easily on the same level as the very best players in the USA, back when people thought Brood was the ****. I was aware of what that guy is capable of before you even heard his name. And I'll tell you right now that there's a number of players that have a legitimate chance to beat him - Anti and Ally are most certainly among those people.
Lol Ally isn't USA nor has he shown consistency in the MU.
Anti, I'm not sure about but I doubt it.
DEHF has the best chance imo but considering how stacked this tourny is, I wouldn't be at all surprised if people like Anti/DEHF don't even make it out of second round pools.

I have no doubts that there are people capable of beating Nietono and the other foreign players, but it all depends on how the bracket aligns. My prediction that as many as 4 top 8 spots could go to international players is entirely reasonable. Also, I was at the last Apex - I remember the difference in how people *said* the Japanese would perform vs. how they actually did. Now people are saying that Nietono could very easily win this tournament - that kind of 180 from a very cocky scene is telling.

lol @ anti not getting out of pools. you cant make a pool of 4-5 people that he would lose to 2 people in outside of m2k, ally and nairo.
whos nairo teaming with btw?

At a normal tourny, I would agree. At this one however a lot of stuff that shouldn't be possible is. There are 400 people, just about anything could happen. And I'm sure a lot of top players WILL get screwed by stacked Round 2 pools if upsets happen in round 1.

I beat Dabuz with MK. Nietono's fate will be the same.

@ zmx
you wanna put some money on it?
also, MK takes out a lot of the randomness that could happen to somebodys pool and bracket matchups.
for example, DEHF could easily end up in a second round pool with esam, chu and lain. and all of a sudden hes not getting out of pools because he got all of falcos bad matchups. That kind of thing isnt going to happen to somebody antis level playing MK.
KevinM, GDI man, dont you play any fair characters...?
Ill think about it.

Now that you've claimed this, if you meet Nietono and don't, Canada will disown you.
So no pressure.

What Ally said. He can still take this.
Anti destoryed Brood too. Nietono is better so we'll see what happens with that.
And don't ever count out M2K. Nairo is also godly vs Olimar.
I don't care about USA winning, I just care about the Japanese not winning. Mr. R or Zero can win and ill be happy.

Ally is already USA. We just loan him out for things like crews so the other team will have a chance

Ally is sort of transcendant at this point - he's still a Canadian player at heart, but he's honed his skills in too many places to belong to one region only. Mew2King is the same way, except he's even more of an extreme case.
EDIT: You can just ignore this post and ask Ally what he thinks.

I'm wondering why I wasn't added into pools?
I PMed Full Metal before pools were made and informed him Alex Strife said it was OK to add me in with a screencap of our conversation, but I wasn't added.
Is there going to be a revised 2nd version of the pools coming up?
