He was able to capitalize on Leo in disadvantage amazingly well (off stage).Shaya - tbh I think Proto had Leo’s number, again. He lost game 1 convincingly, yes, but he also commandingly won game 2. Essentially, he lost game 3 due to luck (an accidental footstool out of a airborne scramble) and a tech error (out of hitstun, expecting a tech situation and/or a higher angle).
We already know that Glutonny is a world-class player, being #2 in all of Europe with SSB4 Wario, and is currently the dominant #1 of Europe. However, this 5th placing today shows that Wario doesn't entirely need Tweek in order to place very high at a big event. Impressive run today, thanks to Sonido, getting 17th while beating players like Mr E, CaptainZack, and Mr.R, only losing to Glutonny and ESAM. The dude is advancing the Sonic metagame one impressive placing after another. Sparg0 momentum after that impressive run in WNF 2.6 continues into CEO 2019, getting 17th while beating Myran and Sinji, only losing to Marss and WaDi. WaDi holds the fort of the R.O.B. metagame, placing 7th place with the character. Combined with 8BitMan's 25th placing here, this is a good weekend for R.O.B. Just as some players are beginning to doubt Pokemon Trainer's longevity in the metagame, Puppeh came out with the run of his lifetime. He defeated Nairo, Abadango, ESAM, and Samsora, as well as coming relatively close against MkLeo. I feel PkMn Trainer does relatively well against Joker, especially in the abusing Arsene up B department. Although Marss did kind of body Puppeh afterwards, still an impressive 5th placement at the end. Puppeh still has some room to grow, but that is the advantage of being a young player. Wishes also got a nice 9th place finish as well, but he used mostly Joker. Speaking of which...... MkLeo is back and looking unstoppable. Protobanham, Puppeh, and Marss' Falcon did give him a run for his money, but MkLeo is in a whole another level. It should be noted that this event has summoned some of the best of other Joker players as well, namely Wishes with a 9th placement and Wrath with a 33rd placement. Granted that both uses other characters as well, but seems like MkLeo isn't entirely lonely in the decent placing Joker department. Speaking of looking unstoppable, Marss body-bagged everyone that isn't Ally or MkLeo. Marss is starting to get more consistent success with ZSS in Ultimate more than Nairo did with ZSS towards the end of SSB4. ZSS potentially top tier? Some people has already said yes to that answer, but it is quite decisive. Olimar got a mixed bag today. Myran underperformed with a 49th placement. On the other hand, towards the end of his run, Dabuz began to gravitate towards him towards the end of his run, getting good wins and games with him. This was not a good tournament for Pichu whatsoever. The character had top Pichu talent such as RFang, Blacktwins, and Tachyon participate in the tournament, but none of them broke top 48. Granted that VoiD didn't participate at the tournament at all, but this is something notable that I noticed.
Heck even Marss is getting more consistent success with ZSS now than he did in SSB4. Ummm yeah. Did someone tell Marss that ZSS got "nerfed" in this game, because he did not seem to get that message.
If they’re going to nerf him, just make the gauge deplete faster when he’s hit as Arsene. So punishing the player for playing bad when Arsene is out.
