Apex 2013 Bracket + Predictions thread (tio file posted)

[The Star King]

also holy ****ing **** japanese players showed the US what what

Actually they showed Canada

Maybe it's just me but I am not very surprised a top Japan player beat Boom, as great as Boom is. Japan has a large and active scene, so they SHOULD be good overall. I WOULD be surprised if Brazil did the same thing, or Europe or Australia or whatever

I'm not gonna lie though, I probably would have put Boomfan over Kikoushi in my bracket predictions. I'm just saying I'm not too surprised it went the other way.

Why did you go Falcon first game Boomfan? You know he's gonna play Kirby regardless...

Spoiler

This makes Jousuke all the godlier

 

[ballin4life]

What char/s did Isai go with?

Mari o

 

[SheerMadness]

I tried to keep telling everyone the japanese were going to pwn.

 

[prisonchild]

kikoushi's path of destruction has been pretty impressive.

first TO joe, then tank, then megavolt, then kefit, then boom. then isai?




PS what is the link for the stream?

Are you using an iPad or something?

 

[Smelly Cat]

This is Sensei.

You guys who didn't come are missing out, BIG TIME.

Also, the recorded matches are EPIC. Can't wait to watch them online with commentary.

The Japanese are very good and I love their play style. Very technical and unique.

I'm going to play against Jaime today to break the tie for 5th place.

Stay tuned for that and matches for top 4!

Can Isai's Mario win the whole thing and reclaim America's title, or will the Japanese conquer the US, or will Boom unite Canada for justice?

Only one way to find out!

 

[kabal]

This is the most epic **** I've ever seen... wish I could have gone.

I also wish Isai would play Pika a little more!

 

[The Star King]

AFTER AN HOUR I GO CHAT AND STREAM TO WORK

nvm gone

nvm got it

 

[prisonchild]

*SPOILER*

kikoushi with the win vs. isai

 

[Yobolight]

That was an incredible Grand Finals.

 

[Sangoku]

Good job Kikoushi for winning Apex!

 

[King Omega]

GJ Kikoushi. Isai, feel free to use good characters in serious matches someday.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I feel like smash would die if Isai only played pika and won everything. There needs to be a fun and competitive environment for a video game to be popular and the competition dies pretty quick if one player is always on top. Plus its only like $1k. I feel like Isai would pay that much to keep smash alive

GG

 

[chuckj]

Im glad kikoushi won just because of the crowd =]

Congratulations!

 

[Stevo]

so hype!

gj Isai, Boom, and Kikoushi

 

[Yobolight]

Now that Isai has lost with Low tier (2012) and high tier (2013) that leaves top tier for 2014.

 

[The Star King]

Yeah as much as I would like to see Isai win, I think him making it close is a good thing

Him 3 stocking Kikoushi repeatedly with Pikachu probably wouldn't be as hype

@Yobo Mario isn't high tier

That was easily the most excited I've been watching 64, awesome stuff

 

[kabal]

I agree the games wouldn't have been as amazing if Isai played Pika, but he could at least switch to Pika on his final game.

 

[Yobolight]

A switch to Pika in the final game would have put Isai's johns in jeopardy if he somehow choked.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I agree the games wouldn't have been as amazing if Isai played Pika, but he could at least switch to Pika on his final game.

Kind of a **** move though and defeats the whole purpose of playing a "worse" character. That's equivalent to Isai saying, "Alright, I'm done trolling you."

 

[\\Killer//]

And Thanks to BattleCow for saying "Killer Di" Live
Gald you appreciate my work

 

[Yobolight]

Apex people better get some vids of Isai beating Kikoushi for Youtube or else Isai's reputation will be permanently tarnished.

 

[Stevo]

Isai's reputation can never be tarnished

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

Yo sensei, BCow was saying something on air about people making you drop stocks for pauses?
ew.

ggs to everyone! RECORD THOSE MATCHES.

Thanks to nintendude + battle for commentating

 

[prisonchild]

yeah nintendude and battlecow did a good job commentating.


i was kind of hoping isai went fox but as long as he had fun with mario.



although i wanted to see isai or boom win i think it's kind of good kikoushi won, maybe more japanese players will come over next year. kikoushi has to defend that title!


this makes me hate kirby even more now though..

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

isai's fox was getting trashed in friendlies vs ruoka, but idk if he was playing seriously.

andd yes yes! more out-of-country people for next year = hype. Maybe we can get Peru + Europe into the mix, in addition to the people who came out this year

 

[MATTS!]

ALL hail KIKOUSHI, pwnin isai

my predictions were almost right on,

isai or kikoushi in 1st, and the other **** and Jaime and boom in 3rd 4th and 5th. Im to good.


MATTS! vs. Kikoushi for APEX 2014 for the title. PWNED.



The Great MATTS!

 

[The Star King]

Apex people better get some vids of Isai beating Kikoushi for Youtube or else Isai's reputation will be permanently tarnished.

Stop posting.

yeah nintendude and battlecow did a good job commentating.

Yeah I was impressed. It was much better than Sensei + Dogy last year (no offense). Especially since I never got around to watching Battlecow's audition lol

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

I still vote tigerbombz for commentary.

Did you guys catch the DI from kikoushi? it was crazy. When we thought that J players didn't DI, it ended up being that bc of such little DI in J version, they DI sooooo much harder than we do.

 

[King Funk]

I'm out of words... So glad Kikoushi won. I still remember that day I met him in Tokyo and told him about Apex 2013. I never thought he'd end up going there.

Sadly, Kikoushi told me the other day that he is quitting Smash after Apex, so I'm not sure if we'll ever see a rematch.

 

[Timotheus]

Congrats to kikoushi. Can't wait to see the matches! Hope you guys recorded a lot matches and other stuff

 

[M!nt]

kikoushi 2 gud, not even his game, get pwned.

it's best to retire on top i guess...


jousuke to repeat for kikoushi?

 

[Dingus]

Every other FG I watch japan dominates the USA. I really liked that Smash was different. GOD DAMN IT.

 

[Zack353]

I don't think KF will even get top 5. From what I've seen, Japan looks really good to me. Isai should go over there and play them again. :afrainbo:

i called japan being insane way before everyone else, but everyone was like "nope america's da best japan is A tier at best we're #1 etc etc"

just watch their VIDS, guys. they're way smarter players than most of america except boom and isai. can't even imagine how good jousuke is. i still think boom could have beat kikoushi with pikachu but isai is too good at playing boom it seems

 

[The Star King]

Nobody cares. That's not hard to predict. I also predicted King Funk not top 5 on the same page above you so yeah.

 

[Olikus]

whos taking the picture of top 8 like last year?
