Is there a cut off date to decide the roster for this? or is it decided day of the actual tournament? (International hype!)

RED WHITE AND BLUE FTW!

Lee Martin said he quit over half a year ago but I see him entering locals every once in a while. Don't know if he's willing to travel to Apex though.

FYI B_AWAL, we have 2 alts.

Not Razer. When I fought him at LSC, he was nervous when we played for most of the set, and it is risky to put him on the team when there is a good chance nervousness will affect him. MVD and Havok aren't at the same level.

Mikehaze should be an alt because those players will know how to fight Marth and mikehaze lost to Rain when they fought.

Reflex's wario is a risk, we know european players have amazing wario experience in the form of gluttony, and personally, I don't think Reflex stands out among the possible choices.

Will would be a good choice for an alt because he has the gimmick factor of playing DK and knows all the MUs we will face VERY well.

I see no reason not to have Vinnie on the team, ics are dangerous is crews and vinnie can wreck OoC even if they do know the ICs MU.

I agree with everyone else on the main team list.

M2K, DEHF, Vinnie, ESAM, Tyrant, ADHD/Gnes, Havok and like Dojo or Tearbear should be the main team imo.

Putting in Will solely on a gimmick factor seems pretty risky. It could work pretty well or fail horribly imo.

I guess as an alt its no biggie...

I do believe I should be on the team.

We don't need Mikehaze to kill Ally. Mostly everyone on the list is capable of fighting and beating Ally.

Havok doesn't stand out enough for a spot on the roster. If we want another Snake or MK, we have more powerful MKs and Snakes to pick from.

Reflex's Wario is a good idea. And he's the best Wario in America. He'd be on Gluttony's level if he dropped PT and went hard Wario. He stands out from possible choices a good bit I'd say. I'm pretty sure they have good MK MU experience, so don't put in Tyrant? Not Hatin', just sayin'.

In my opinion, Reflex would be a very much so, WORTH IT.

What exactly would we be putting Reflex in for? Certainly not Ally or to deal with the best Marth's in the world right?

Ice climbers, his brother is a really good IC player and falco if there is one, but I'd think there'd be better choices.

I have seen Gluttony. He's a beast. But so is Reflex. If Reflex went all Wario, he'd figure out a lot of stuff that's taking longer to figure out while balancing two characters. But dropping PT would be hard, as Reflex is the very best, like no one ever was. Easily the best PT ever. Reflex would be the one to achieve Gluttony's level out of any Wario main I know.

But regardless of this theorycraft, he's totes a good idea for the crew.

Reflex is back 2 using Wario since the summer.

Prob the best line up I've seen so far... problem is that they KNOW what we have but we don't kno them much... Ally has been playin us all so he knows exactly who to throw in when :(. Funny how the only advantage we have is "home feild advantage" which is really jus a mindset.

Edit: wait I'm sorry I'm on my 10th shot of tequila @ work right now... wtf is wrong witchu no lucario????? (Excuse the terminology)

the logic of europe knowing the wario match up because of gluttony is like saying top socal players know the diddy match up because we're on the same continent as Gnes.

I haven't seen videos of gluttony in like a year either lol.

lololol nice one...

Well yall can put me in as an alt if u want to take out one of the ice-climbers. I've never lost a set against an ice-climbers. And have only lost one match(in tourney) to one in my whole life.

I'm pretty confident against them.

Toe to Toe with me?

I beat him 3-0 and 3-1 every single set we had for like ~7 sets over the course of 2-3 months. Every set was 3-0 or 3-1. There were some matches and sets where I ***** him pretty badly (such as the florida tournament), but those were never uploaded. Only the closer sets were uploaded, so maybe you are basing off of that?

Anyway, when I play Ally or Tyrant's wario, they win over a third of the time. Their styles are far better for singles. Reflex's style is good for teams much more than it is in singles.

I have all of those matches n in only the WSF set did u wreck him. After that all ur matches were close. Id upload em myself but my SD card is MIA :( its w/e tho I was jus throwin him out there as an option.

N I chose Havok bcuz its not fair that Ally is the captian & he is on his team. Havok at least deserves to b in the squad bcuz he is the captian. Rather than the coach.

But yeah...

I'm stickin 2 my main 8 cept 2

The "homefield" advantage isn't just a mindset. We have a much much larger and much more diverse pool of players to choose from. Japan and Europe don't have ALL of their top players attending. USA pretty much will. For example, out of the top 10 players in my state, 9 are attending. So while they might know what to send at us with Ally's help, it doesn't mean they have it available.

I get where ur comn from but at least 6 of our main ppl are blatently obvious. While even if they have ppl that we kno of we don't have players that know their habits and whatnot. So yes we have more ppl 2 choose from but like I said... where as they will kno how to plan against 6 of our ppl we can only really b ready 4 about 2 of their players fighting styles.

Edit... why is that "halfway" song SO effin Guuuud???

Edit 2: who will b commentating this epic crew battle???

Edit 3: is there anyway we can stream this in several diff langauges or record commentary in other languages so we can show this worldwide? I think it wud show future donors that the smash scene has potential 2 b as epic as SF & MvC scenes over time.

That's true, Glutonny barely travels too.

Also he's back from hiatus. Search for Glutonny vs Dany on youtube. Glutonny won a tourney this past weekend.

None of them handles Marth and Olimar as decently as Havok does.

That is wrong in so many ways.

Tyrant lives in the same region and knows how to handle those two characters just as well.

Nairo will handle olimar easily.

Dojo can handle olimar and marth extremely well.

Ultimaterazer wrecks olimar and knows how to fight Marth.



Tyrant is already guaranteed to be on the team. If we needed another MK/ snake, i would pick one of the three listed above. They all are very capable in the MUs. Also, it has to be factored in that, everyone on the team aside from Esam and M2K, already knows how to handle olimar. At least half our team already knows how to handle Marth.

Havok, as a player, is a bit outmatched. If you want to argue he should be on because he can handle the marth+oli MUs decently, I can refute that based on the logic that half the team already knows how to play those MUs and that he isn't quite as skilled compared to other possible mk/snake choices.

None of them except Tyramt can play Snake and I don't think his Snake is better than Havok's 0_0

You misread what I wrote. I know those 3 only play MK (except for tyrant who can use anyone really well). In crews, it is character locked, so having multiple characters isn't a big deal in Havok's case. Im saying that the 3 MKs know their MUs and well, and are better in general than Havok's MK.

Ultimaterazer knows the Oli MU. He has amazing oli practice, because Texas has Denti (Who is a top 4 American olimar), skypirate, and one other olimar but i can't remember the name. When I fought him, he knew what he was doing. Nike is a marth player in Texas, who, at the very least, is decent. As a snake, Ultimaterazer is better
