Character Competitive Impressions

[Blue Banana]

Did I miss MVD play already? How did that go?

MVD lost to 6WX 0-2. He switched to Little Mac 2nd round.

edit: ninja'd.

 

[NotLiquid]

It's players like 6WX and Espy who really define how interesting Sonic is to look at in a competitive light despite a lot of stigmas.

 

[ChronoPenguin]

Did I miss MVD play already? How did that go?

He got put out back.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Two stock both games, on both Duck Hunt and Little Mac.

Give Sonic an inch and all that, but even keeping that inch is hard as hell.

 

[Spirst]

Sonic is a character that gives DH a lot of trouble. Quick gunmen help though. Sad to see MVD eliminated by a Sonic but it is what it is. Top 8 is no easy feat using characters like DH and LM.

 

[Thinkaman]

Did I miss MVD play already? How did that go?

He was actually destroying 6WX first stock, but made a big mistake that got caught in a grab--then died to bad DI off the b-throw.

He went hard on tilt after that.

 

[Conda]

MVD... ;_;

Duck Hunt top 8 hype tho

I was waiting for some DH footage. I tune in after work to see him as Little Mac in a game 2 after a loss (character switch?) and getting KOd. :| Mannn...

 

[CometShred]

i definitely think Abadango would do better using Wario, rather than all the projectiles that Pac Man has to offer since Rosalina and Luma just eat em' up

but thats just me

 

[MachoCheeze]

THAT'S MY BOY ABADANGO!!!

 

[Spinosaurus]

Holy **** Abadango pulling through with Pac Man vs Rosalina.

 

[zeldasmash]

Pac-Man wins game one. I hope he makes it Top 3

 

[HeroMystic]

Pac-Man can outcamp Rosalina apparently.

 

[Tristan_win]

Beating a Rosalina as Pac man is more impressive then beating a Sheik.

Truly amazing, can pac man overcome his counter? So exciting.

 

[FullMoon]

Aw, well, Duck Hunt in Top 8 and Greninja in Top 12 is good enough. I guess now I'll root for Abadango!

 

[Sinister Slush]

Abadango also said No to timeouts. He was going in hard at like 10 seconds trying to kill dabuz.

 

[CometShred]

DANGO DANGO DANGO Pᗣᗧ•••MᗣN

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

GO DANGO! GO DANGO!

 

[TheMiSP]

Dat timeout tho.

 

[HeroMystic]

I will say though, with 70k+ viewers and trying to impress the FGC with Smash 4, this is not the game you'd want to show off.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Jesus zoning character vs zoning character.

 

[Real Smooth-Like]

I feel so happy for all the pac mains. They've been preaching the good word of pac man and everyone would just ignore them but now here he is, gettin some tourney results. It might not mean much of anything, but no one can deny that pac mans gonna get a bit more attention after this

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

I wanted him to bust out Wario next. Oh well.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Had a feeling Dabuz would timeout abadango to win.
Rosalina so boaring.

 

[HeavyLobster]

Pac-Man looks at least high-mid. I get that a lot of his success has to do with the fact that no one knows how to play against him, but he's got some good tools to work with.

 

[Yonder]

I'll be glad if Pac Man wins, but oh god the band wagoning and overrating will commence...that I will not like. [As in people will say ZOMG Pac Man top 5!] when he's a high tier character, imo. Not top. Grab.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Why didn't he switch to Wario?

More importantly WHY LYLAT CRUISE

 

[HeroMystic]

Had a feeling Dabuz would timeout abadango to win.
Rosalina so boaring.

I'd say it's a matter of coincidence. Both Pac-Man and Rosie are very zoning-based characters with poor offense options.

Edit: I'm hearing a lot of Boooos.

 

[Asdioh]

Protip: if you keep timing people out (and losing) because your projectile spam isn't working because your opponent has an insanely good anti-projectile move, try something else

 

[zeldasmash]

Rosalina, you dang killjoy.....It was fun watching Pac-Man and i'm happy he made Top 8

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

And Dabuz wins by timeout.

I still think Abadango should have used Wario.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I'd say Rosalina has the tools to be more offensive since her aerials are disjointed and good outside of maybe nair, + luma just gives her so much strength.
Just too bad Pac-man lost from timeouts.

 

[Nu~]

Pain...agony...
Aww, he came so far

 

[Thinkaman]

Am I the only one who was super excited during all 3 Pac-Man Rosalina games? Literally 6 full minutes of action, with zero true stalling outside of spawn platform waiting on dabuz's last stock.

Y'all talking like it was a Sonic ditto.

 

[Conda]

So many opportunities where Pac Man's grab could've been used. Rosa kept doing down b, and the best way to punish baiting the down b is to grab (Pac Man can't do much else from that range to punish). But zero grabs were used.

 

[FullMoon]

So Greninja in the Top 12, Pac-Man and Duck Hunt in Top 8. Well, they still made it really far so I'm very happy for them. I'm even considering picking Pac-Man as a secondary just because I like his playstyle.

 

[Spinosaurus]

And Dabuz wins by timeout.

I still think Abadango should have used Wario.

He seriously should have. Wario does way better against her.

Though picking Lylat Cruise was the worse of the two. Dabuz took advantage of the platform really well.

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

I love how the crowd is chanting "HOO HAH!"

 

[TTTTTsd]

The Hoo Hahs from the crowd is making this amazing. Can this always happen?

Audino man.
The first two games were fun to watch but once there was 50 seconds left and dabuz started to purposely just jump platform to platform to timeout, I didn't even bother to watch the gamelylat, cause I knew it'd be even harder for pac to get in and even less room for pac to work with. Dunno y he even chose that stage.

Also Wario cp wouldn't have helped against rosalina.

I agree, it was nothing but full blown action, mostly due to Pac-Man's pressure.

Edit: The Hoo Hah's are freaking awesome.

Double Edit: FALCON!!
