I'm back and here to stay. But I'll need to take some time and "re-invent Peach" lol. My metagame is still stuck in 2002-2006 and most of my silly tricks don't work anymore on you new kids lol.


It was awesome playing/meeting/hanging out Vanz, Vidjo, DoH, Xelic, The Irish Mafia, Crismas, Rain and Kirbykaze!!! :bee:


Also, who is the the current best peach in the US anyway? When I'm fully resurrected(and so much more), He'll be the first person I'd like to sit down and a chat with :lick:

cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
XIF's current playing status is "Comeback", as far as I know
I'd say cort but he's sort of not playing a lot outside of NE
TBH I'd have to say Wife. I think that, even including armada, he knows the most about peach than any other player. Every move he does is so incredibly planned out and downright effective that it's crazy. Watch some of his matches from Pound when they're up. Every time he fairs, it either hits, results in him grabbing their shield, or he misses and reacts. His knowledge of every aspect of peach is amazing.
If you don't think wife's active enough, I'd go with Vidjo. He's just so good.

if vidjo contintues to play, it's him

if not then xelic, but if he quits or whatever

i'd say like me and doh are tied

but those are of the active us peaches i know

i'd put vwins at least as good as xelic, idk other then htat, other people feel free to say i'm ********

EDIT: these are the straight up peach mains, i didn't include people like vanz who might go anyone against anyone

also these are the only ones that came off the top of my head so i could be missing someone

If Pink Shinobi gets back into the game then I'd go with him. Vidjo's pretty rusty right now, so I'm not sure about him being the best, but it's definitely possible. The same with Xelic, and possibly Cort; it's difficult to tell how active they are because the ones who might be at the top aren't very visible at the moment. Even though he's not U.S., I think Vwins is extremely underrated. IMO and based on what I've seen recently, he's at least as good as any of those other players.

edit: YAY for Mike G's return to serious play!! You have possibly the most entertaining Peach I've ever seen. I'm very excited to see how you evolve her.

Pink Shinobi is retired.
I'd probably say it's Vidjo, still. MacD/Xelix/D'oH are still too good, though. XIF I haven't seen in a while. (recent matches.) So I don't quite have a valid Peach radar on him.
spoke to him on livestream

he says hes just inactive, not retired.

I honestly think Vidjo is better than Pink Shinobi (not bashing pink shinobi, he's mad good) but only by a tiny margin.

Vwins is god **** sexy, the canadian combo video didn't do him justice.

Vidjo [at his prime] is definitely a level above Shinobi.
He is probably the current best Peach in the nation, though I do hear he is a bit rusty.

Though it would be good to see Cort play again. His Peach was mad **** at RoM.

I'll take a potato chip....and eat it!!!
- I honestly...think I can agree with MacD's post.
- TECHNICALLY VaNz is a Peach main. Seeing as that's like hsi best character and I saw him go Peach a lot in tourney. (it's confuzzling)
- I think everyone is in agreement that Vwins is amazing, xD.

From consensus...I'd sa it's either Xelic or Vidjo your after, Mike. Those are the best current active US Peach players.

I don't doubt Vidjo's skill at all. I think he's EASILY better than me when he's playing at his best. But the question was "current" best Peach in the USA. Not only that, but I've spent the week before Pound training with M2K (so he could beat Armada <_<) and he told me that I was waaaaaay harder to beat than Vidjo.

So not trying to sound arrogant, but I think I just might hold the "Best USA Peach" spot. For now anyway.

haha at pound m2k said xelic was the 2nd best peach next to armada while he was training him to fight peach so take that as you will, lol

but i think we all agree it's between vidjo (if he keeps playing), xelic, and vanz for US, vwins gets honorable mention becuase he's from canada but still *****

There's no such thing as best Peach. Peach is a lie. Such a bull**** character.

Anyway, jokes asides... every time I see Armada play I just learn something new to do. He's really smart and technical; what a deadly combination.

I feel I didn't do good at all in singles, because I enjoy more teams an I think I did pretty well there. Could have done way better at singles but got stuck in the second round of Pools. I had Vidjo (peach dittoes suck!) there and suicided in our match right at the start but still managed to almost beat him in that match... Then I had Waffles doc, ****! I hate Docs match up srsly. I asked Armada his impressions on the match up (since he lost a match to Shroomed's Doc) and he said its kinda "bad" match up (more or less). I also beat the Fox Vidjo lost to in that round of Pools (Zoso). Still didn't make it out because of some mistakes but im pretty sure I would have reached the bracket if I had put more efforts.

Also, why do you guys in US love so much dittoes. OMG they suck! Im starting to get better at it since I had so many ditto matches at Pound 4 LOL!

My overall performance in teams:

Pools
1. HDL + Eval 8-0
2. Trademark + Mikemoney
3. Crismas + Sanuzi
4. Crio + Ziggyredbass

64 man bracket

HDL + Eval's performance

Winners' bracket
Defeated Pakman + Mogwai
Lost to Reno + Cactaur <- close but Sheik + Fox gay'd

Losers' bracket
Defeated Kels + watty
Defeated Chillin + DOH
Lost to Tope + Cyrain <- close but Sheik + Fox gay'd again lol

Overall placing: 17/64

I didnt get to prove myself at Pound 4. :( Hopefully for the next big event Im gonna be more prepared. Pound 4 just reinforced my will to practice even more! See ya on the next big tournament I hope!

PS. High five Vidjo. You are mad cool and nice to chill with. He sat on my lap on the way back to the hotel in the shuttle along with the Europeans and M2K. Im not the same anymore... it was clustered as **** ahahah! Hopefully you will read this. LOL!

I wouldn't give M2K the "Least biased opinion" award just yet vanz.
Don't get me wrong if you're not better than vidjo you're definitely on par with him, this is just what I'm thinking after whatever tournament results/my playing you.

Speaking of M2K's bias, remember when he said Sheik was the best character in the game when he couldn't beat some shiek player (drephen, i think?), then said Puff was the best in the game when he couldn't beat mango, then said Falco was the best when he couldn't beat Mango's Falco?
that was funny.

Edit: Eval, Zoso beat Vidjo? Zoso's a local player from my area, he's good. nice on beating him.

Definitely a contender at least.

I played both you and Vidjo and I think you're a more difficult opponent too.

^_^b

<333333 Vidjo

Armada's peach was pretty awesome. I'm definitely stealing his trixies >___<

Imagine if we could get a TV again like we did at Pound and discuss stuff about peach! I think it was You/Armada/DoH/Xelic/me/some other i dont rmemeber. Hopefully we will see ya again at the next big event!

We need to have a *****cast so people can see how terrible our character is and stop complaining.

M2K's opinions are often skewed... I don't know how anyone can take what he says so seriously.

Oh, and Vanz... the current Vidjo > you. No doubt you're a good player but let's get real.

Peach is just one of those characters that CAN be amazing, but you can't screw up. However...Peach players are in the same boat at this point as Marth players.

Both are complaining about how bad their characters are, xD.

Lol, sarcasm much! Fox can gay peach in so many ways. You played well, its just that I love playing foxes. I dunno how your set went with Vidjo but you 2-0 him o_O.

Every time I think of how stupidly I lost in the second rounds of pools make me sad... ;_; Peach is such a demanding character and people just tell you don't complain dude, you just mash that c stick and nair and thats all.

Xelic and Vidjo are the best.

Every other name mentioned is really a toss up for 2nd place.

This is XIF BTW.

Name search and late responses =D

connor ***** and needz props. Also hitsugaya the canadian peach is amazing.
<3 I really like your Peach

VanityAngel and Connor should definitely be on there somewhere.
I suck and lose to bad people.

Connor is a Fox player first? Lol. Um...his Peach is really good. I want to see it more. Give up fox and just stay Peach =p.
I'm half and half. I use Fox for Peach's bad match ups and use Peach for space animals. They kinda cover eachother's weaknesses lol

Connor is a peach main I thought. We both use peach and fox in tournament but w/evs
see reply above.

fail by me lol
Yeah, as far as I know Connor has changed mains, his fox is still incredigood though.
thanks. see the reply above aswell lol.


As for national tournament viable peaches.
here's my ******** list:
1. Armada
2. Cort (if he still played.)
3. Pink Shinobi (if he still played...)
4. Vidjo (if he still played....>_>)
5. VaNz (don't quit!)
6-10. Tie for DoH, Xelic, MacD(If McCain didn't suck vs Puff and Ganon), Alan, Kouryuu
.......
200. me :)

feel free to disagree and tell me where I'm being ********
