Meta Competitive Impressions: TBH5

[SuqAta8]

is there a containment thread for big house 5 / tournament discussion er is this generally it?

 

[Sir Tundra]

...You know he's still in the tournament, right? Can't count him out just yet.

pretty sure he's not out yet, just in loses

Oh.. well then... I guess the hype just overwhelmed me.

 

[Gunla]

ZeRo's in Top 32, if I recall correctly.

Beat MVD in losers and he landed in 33rd.

 

[Man Li Gi]

All I know is that this should prove Midwest ain't free, but just doesn't travel.

What exactly "proves" that?

 

[19_]

I am really hoping san. beats Seagull. I hope he's rock'n the free mii tag.

 

[Sir Tundra]

Looks like megafox beaten Ryo in phase 2 pools at big house.

Gotta say Megafox sure adapted pretty well to the matchup

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Ya apparently the Twitch chat I was watching before lied and Ryo hadn't played yet.

So 2 Ike in Winners 1 in Losers top 32. Ryo really needs to start using Eruption. He just... kept refusing to and kept going for Dairs when there was no need for it. Its Fox. If he has to use Firefox get the free kill.

 

[JesterJaded]

That comeback by Zinoto though! SDs early on game 3 like it's nothing!

 

[Firefoxx]

Ryo is up 1-0 to Shugo on the TL stream http://www.twitch.tv/tourneylocator

2-0. so thats 2 Ike's in winners (on the same half of the bracket) and one in losers of top 32

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Love how Ike continues to **** on Sonic.

Seagull Joe is the next Sonic on the list to cross off.

 

[-RedX-]

Ryuga vs Seagull in crew battle. Please get him off the list.
Well, there is a stock deficient. Whatever. lol

 

[warionumbah2]

Seagull Joe is the next Sonic on the list to cross off.

He's about to slay a weakened Sonic. No mercy.

[Nidtendofreak]

4 Ikes in top 32. More Ikes than Sonics even. 2nd most common only to Sheik.

Never thought I'd see this day.

 

[-RedX-]

I highly doubt Wizzrobe uses Ike but if he did at this tournament, cool.

 

[outfoxd]

In b4 ppl try to pocket Ikes

 

[Mario766]

People gonna cheer We Like Ike just like WE LIKE *****

 

[HeroMystic]

Top 32 is looking very solid.

For Mario, we have three players: Ally, Zenyou, and XeroXen.

XeroXen is in loser's bracket since he lost to Rayquaza, and he has to fight Abadango.

Far as I'm concerned I'm happy with the character variety for top 32. Top 8 can be a different story.

Edit: From a Texan perspective, we have three Texans in Top 32. Megafox, Trela, and Karna. I have plenty of players to cheer for and that makes me happy.

It errors on my browser. Can you repost the link?

 

[teddystalin]

Well, the new projected bracket has gone for all the Ike hype: it has san. going on the Loser's Run of a lifetime, beating Abadango, Dabuz, Megafox, 6wx, Ryuga, Vinnie, and Nairo before losing to Seagull in Grands.

YOU GOT THIS, SENPAI

 

[epicnights]

It's great to see more counterpicks in doubles. Really disappointed that people seem to be blindly following Socal's lead in banning Halberd, Delfino and CS, especially since it seems to be making smashille even more prevalent in singles...Hoping that TBH5 doesn't end up being the last 10 stage-list national.

 

[Djent]

Anti + Abadango (and possibly Sheik + MK on top of that) is totally borked.

 

[Mario766]

Anti + Abadango (and possibly Sheik + MK on top of that) is totally borked.

It's also a team that doesn't have super synergy at that, Ray/Ryuga were doing a lot better as a team but Abadango was destroying with shuttle loop combos.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Imagine if Abadango knew what he was doing and started using Tornado in his game.

 

[san.]

I'm not too great vs. Sonic. Manny respected a lot of my moves due to Ryo fear.

 

[NairWizard]

Meta Knight is looking incredibly strong but this tournament just has me itching to swing a Ragnell.

LOE1 vs. Shel

Nationals just LOVE to see Luigis die, don't they? That's the 2nd time since Apex!

 

[19_]

I'm not too great vs. Sonic. Manny respected a lot of my moves due to Ryo fear.

You can do this, I believe in you man. If there would be any time to make a name for yourself NOW IS THE TIME.

Make sure you get some sleep too.

 

[Kaladin]

ESAM vs Trela is going to be the most amazing thing in the world. I'm curious to see how ESAM adapts to the inevitable true-shoryu-on-reaction when he quick attacks at Trela.

 

[warionumbah2]

2nd time Metaknight *********** Ike in doubles. Its a shame there's no top Metaknights here.

 

[Got4n]

So ZeRo has a chance to be 1st?

 

[Wintropy]

So ZeRo has a chance to be 1st?

He does, if he can make it through Loser's and come out the other side.

We'll see if he's over his ostensible nerves.

Yeah I wish him best of luck tho.
