There's not enough props in this thread going to an obviously gifted player who pulled a huge upset and won one of his first tourneys.
He Won. Some random who you'd never give the time of day, won. This **** happens.
Him using IC's is irrelevant because Brawl has PLENTY of "gay" characters that can be "gay" to each other. There's enough "gayness" going around with Snake, Diddy, Wario, Falco, D3 and Marth. So essentially there is a nice even top crop of homosexuality.
ICs has even or Losing match ups I believe with Snake, Marth, and falco, at least. I'm not sure about match-up numbers but he doesn't outright destroy the cast without the presence of MK in the brackets, and there is evidence to prove that.
There have been several big tournaments that are Meta-Banned where ICs did NOT destroy everyone.
I would also like to point out that Inui, Atomsk, Chibo, ETC ETC ETC have ALL likely been to big tournaments with Meep and or Lain attending. It's NOT like its a surprise that ICs are good.
back to my point: Max needs more Props.
go Max.
