Biggest What-ifs in tournament history

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

What if Wolf didn't snipe Jeff at SCSA!

 

[TheGoat]

What if.....fox has falcos lasers LOL

 

[strawhats]

What if m2k never took up brawl back in 2008? What if m2k still mained marth(solo marth/secondary fox with the same zeal he once had for the game(pretty much what pp is now).

 

[Soft Serve]

What if Wobbles and Fly-Aminita teamed up for the next major tourney?
I think Double IC's would either be the most incredible team or the worst conceivable team possible.

 

[Battlecow]

They would both have to wobble. I'm getting visions of Armada and M2K both being held firmly and thwacked up to 300%, with a syncopated "George of the Jungle" beat coming from the controllers of our heroes.

If they both got SoPo'd they could join together into one super awesome ultra ICs team that mysteriously had friendly fire off.

 

[DerfMidWest]

What is Dark was good at the game?
What if M2K didn't ragequit Apex2012?
What if Aesir jv5'd all of you?
what if the midwest was the best?

 

[Battlecow]

Better question: What if midwest WASN'T the best?

Try to wrap your minds around it. Envision a world where we couldn't just take every bracket spot at every national if we tried. Hard, I know, but fascinating to think about once you get a grasp on what it would mean.

I would pay good money to see a 4v1 after one person got wobbled to death.

 

[twizzlerj]

What if wobbling wasn't banned and a bunch of people played ics

 

[Beat!]

What if wobbling wasn't banned and a bunch of people played ics

Wobbling is legal at a lot of tournaments. Fly and Wobbles get pretty similar results when it's on.

 

[Theftz22]

I think this is the most interesting question. Tbh the smash scene in Japan died almost immediately after Ken beat them (and now its going through a resurgence). I bet that would not have been the case if Bombsoldier won, and we'd have a much healthier rivalry; the US smash scene would have been spurred forward by the defeat, and the Japanese scene would have greater confidence going forward.

Ken beating all of Japan kind of disillusioned their whole scene about the game.

He didn't beat everyone in Japan:

[9Kplus1]

What if HBox picked up and used Sheik, like a man?

 

[Rykard]

what if Zhu's feet weren't happy?

 

[Battlecow]

He didn't beat everyone in Japan:

Wasn't that like a friendly?

And didn't ken kind of scrub the floor with him when they played in later sets?

 

[hungrybox]

I guess I'll have to start showcasing my secondary and tertiary characters

 

[Mr Postman]

Ness! Awesomeness is rad and cool.

What if Hbox had the best ness in the world, but no one knew it....

 

[Devil Ray]

-what if KDJ never went to Korea?
-what if Shiz beat M2K at rom and then played mango in GF's?
-what if Americans started going to Europe for tournaments?

 

[Anthon1996]

What if I go to Apex 2013 and place first with Doc?

 

[Tee ay eye]

what if jman beat amsah at pound 4?
what if wobbles beat dr. peepee at apex 2010?

 

[Jonas]

What if Sweden had collectively picked up Brawl instead of continuing with Melee?

 

[Rostigalen]

What if Armada wouldn't have traveled to APEX 2012? Would he still be considered the best in the world?

 

[Jonas]

Not by Americans

 

[King5280]

I guess I'll have to start showcasing my secondary and tertiary characters

i wanna see dat ness

 

[.Chipmunk.]

What if WC could DI?

 

[Blistering Speed]

What if Armada never decided to travel, and never competed in America? Holy ****, so many consequences.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

What if brawl was good?

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

"What if Eddie and Tipman never stopped playing seriously?"

That's my favourite "what if".

Followed closely by "What if the FC series never died out, and the kishes held FC every year or two like Genesis/Apex?"

I would die a happy man if the above were ever reality.

Oh, and "What if Matt Deezie randomly showed up to host another big TG?"

 

[Big_R]

what if all the best mw cities were with an hour of each other?

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

What if Zhu landed a hit vs Mango, last stock of match 3 in their set at WCSL?

What if Mango didn't get banned from the boards?

 

[Get Low]

What if Macd won a national?

 

[Papero]

What if Apex2012/Genesis 2/etc. used PAL instead?

Who would come out on top?

 

[chenjesu]

what if hungrybox called double blind picks against armada for apex 2012

and it ended with ness vs young link???

 

[Blistering Speed]

What if Apex2012/Genesis 2/etc. used PAL instead?

Who would come out on top?

Wrt Apex: I actually don't think this would have much of an effect on the top echelon. Maybe some trickle down stuff, but Peach, Puff and Falco are all virtually unaffected by the switch.

I guess it would impair Javi, Mango and KK, but Grand Finals would still be the same.

What if brawl was good?

good chance of melee dying

sf3 died because sf4 was 'good enough', same for mvc2 --> 3 , sc1 --> sc2 (in the process of dying)

thank god brawl SUX

the next game could be better then brawl which hell is that hard to do? but no game cube controllers so i know what im not playing.

 

[CableCho57]

What if brawl was good?

well not to phrase it like that (bc brawl players will start whining and crap) but what if brawl was like melee? meaning they kept the physics, hitlag etc but just added more stages/characters and better graphics?

makes me wonder how different the community would be. And I feel like the chance for national sponsors would be better

 

[MonkUnit]

What if people didn't make combo videos?

 

[Keblerelf]

What if m2k beat mango at EVO

 

[hungrybox]

what if hungrybox called double blind picks against armada for apex 2012

and it ended with ness vs young link???

you have no idea how close this was to being reality

it still bothers me to this day that I didn't CP set 2

I just had full momentum with jigglypuff

I think i need therapy or something to get it out of my head

like the feeling that I may never get that chance again

bleh

 

[Tekk]

What if melee pikachu had the brawl QAC ?
