Official Character Competitive Impressions - Tourneys, Tiers, Theories, Tactics

[Yonder]

That doesn't make sense. M2K and Abadango aren't in the same pool and Big D elimated M2k.

Can confirm, it just popped up on my BC smash group on Facebook. Nice work Dawson.

 

[Y2Kay]

Uggh there's finally a greninja but it get's bodied

it would be a dream come true if istudying came....

 

[Radical Larry]

And breaking news, my will of playing Smash 4 was shattered at my most recent tournament (which just happened).
Well...this is actually goodbye from any competitive Smash scene for me.

 

[Djent]

Either ESAM or Nairo can finish no higher than 13th.

Meanwhile, there are two TLs in top 32 winners side No wait, I think Ito just beat Zan. So a MK advances anyway lol.

 

[ligersandtigons]

According to Nakat's twitter, ESAM is out

lost to a ROB (WiiGi) and a Mario (Teb)

edit: nvm, ESAM is playing right now lol

Dammit I was hoping he would win.

Edit:Wait he's on stream. He's not out

 

[Das Koopa]

ESAM's living. His losers match is about to be on stream.

b-but....pools aren't even over yet.......

 

[Wintermelon43]

So, going by what I've heard, Everyone took out Esam but he's still in anyway.

 

[FullMoon]

Jesus I'm not even watching and things look like they're going absolutely bonkers.

 

[ligersandtigons]

yeah i edited my post lol

double checked on the genesis bracket and WiiGi isnt even in ESAM's pool lmao

smh Nakat

 

[Y2Kay]

Be warned guys, there are a lot of trolls (for someone reason) spreading false information about results. IDK why, but people are lying about upsets for clicks.

As you can see people like NAKAT and me have taken the bait. Double check everything homies.

False information: False lost to RIN's WFT. Again. RIP

 

[ligersandtigons]

Earth
Zero
Trevonte

Rain

Xzax
Ranai
Marss

only 3 brackets left and sheik hype boyz

 

[Ffamran]

I wish I saw that......where will these replays be posted after it ends?

On showdowngg's YouTube channel. Some of Melee's stuff was uploaded already last I checked at 11-ish CT (central time). Yes, I'm from the Midwest if anyone's wondering.

Larry shouldn't have gone Fox in the first place. Fox is a singles character, he can't really play to his strenghts in doubles at all.

Oh, Fox can play teams all right... with his wingman, Falco! Team Star Fox is in the building!

Seriously, though, from Shulla Bra V. Ki-tan's Fox and Pikazono's Falco vs. Wax's Peach and Kurousa's ZSS: https://youtu.be/Sxqu7P_Z29A.

Ki-tan and Pikazono vs. Honiya's Ness and Gokuakuk's Ryu: https://youtu.be/OufBMBMPi5I.

Sure, they're not top players as far as I'm aware, but they knew how to rock Team Star Fox. Falco would setup vertical kills for Fox and Fox would setup horizontal kills for Falco. It was glorious I tell you! Glorious!

Side note: is ZSS Bair stronger than most smash attacks? Seeing it kill so often at 90-100 without any Rage and it makes me imaginary vomit

Aren't most aerials stronger than Smashes? ZSS's Bair is a slightly weaker version of Samus's, sweet-spot is 12% vs. Samus's 14%, and Samus's kills 1% later than Falco's center stage on Mario. Aerials tend to be faster and sometimes even stronger than Smashes.

 

[Das Koopa]

ESAM exposed Seagull Joe 2-0. Not sure if he's in Top 32 yet.

 

[Patriot Duck]

And breaking news, my will of playing Smash 4 was shattered at my most recent tournament (which just happened).
Well...this is actually goodbye from any competitive Smash scene for me.

Or you could wait and not make such a rash decision so quickly.

Anyway, Cloud is looking like a formidable doubles character judging from the Genesis stream.

 

[Wintermelon43]

ESAM exposed Seagull Joe 2-0. Not sure if he's in Top 32 yet.

Yeah he's in top 32

 

[Kofu]

For anyone curious, GimR, Regi, and the other Game & Watch player all made it though initial pools in losers'. Regi was eliminated by a Rosa, not sure about the other two.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

So if I'm seeing that current top 32 list correctly: no Clouds in top 32 yes?

How many in top 50?

Stop being so emotional dude

 

[Das Koopa]

Seems like a WFT is in Top 32. Not totally sure, they might have another match.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Rin won over a non-caping Mario. Mario had a few capes, but not enough capes to cape his way to victory. Just a few more capes could have been enough capes to clinch it. Ah well, capes will be capes.

Cape.

 

[ligersandtigons]

So if I'm seeing that current top 32 list correctly: no Clouds in top 32 yes?

i think Komorikiri is in top 32 and so at least one Cloud is in top 32

 

[Djent]

ESAM and Rin are both top 32 now.

So if I'm seeing that current top 32 list correctly: no Clouds in top 32 yes?

How many in top 50?

Well there's Komorikiri, though he played Sonic vs. Tweek (and bodied him BTW).

 

[TTTTTsd]

So if I'm seeing that current top 32 list correctly: no Clouds in top 32 yes?

How many in top 50?

It's incomplete. We have no idea on Komorikiri yet.

EDIT: LOl ninja'd. Guess we do have a Cloud in Top 32 after all (potentially). Thanks based Komorikiri

 

[Kofu]

Cape.

Cape won't protect you from jab, FTilt, FSmash, or DSmash :V

 

[ARGHETH]

Cape won't protect you from jab, FTilt, FSmash, or DSmash :V

Teb got hit by projectiles a lot, though. Half the time he tried to land, he got hit by a sun salutation or ball.

 

[warionumbah2]

The people Abadango lost to...Ito beat 2-0.....

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Holy ****ing ****

Tyrant

Smooth Criminal

 

[Wintermelon43]

Maybe this will encourage Abadango to play Pac-Man again

 

[Floppeh]

My expectations for RIN were blown out of the water. In Japan RIN never really performs all too well, usually going 1-2 or around there in top brackets. The fact that he double eliminated False is really interesting. His showing at this event is definitely solidifying him as one of the best Wii Fit Trainer's along side John Numbers and Waveguider. I can't wait to see how he performs in top 32.

He is also further proving Wii Fit's viability. This character definitely has not hit his/her ceiling yet.

 

[Zelder]

Teb, a Mario main ranked 4th in NorCal, just beat ESAM

edit: Zan beats Abadango 2-1

I feel like this is useful for the argument that Mario (and Doc, probably) have a positive winning matchup over Pikachu.

 

[Kofu]

Teb got hit by projectiles a lot, though. Half the time he tried to land, he got hit by a sun salutation or ball.

I figured it was more in rerernce to projectiles. If you have a reflector, why not use it? Seems dumb to me.

updated the info in case anyone missed it

 

[Flux0r]

ESAM claims it's even, yet he's never taken a set against Ally.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Alright, well

I know Abadango and Ito should have told me something about MK, but Tyrant just blew Fallen out of the water with some of the cleanest play I've seen out of the character so far.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Plain Yogurt]

What is it about Wii Fit that makes people edge play with her so much? It's not like she's the only floaty character with good projectiles.

 

[Das Koopa]

So, did DKwill go out early?
