CaptainZack 2-0 Mr. E to advance to Winners Finals!

 

[JustCallMeJon]

CaptainZack beat Mr E 2-0 OOF

 

[Iridium]

Why is top 8 still Bo3?

 

[Yonder]

Captain Zack 2-0 Mr E, sith some very exciting (sarcasm) basically 0 to death ladder kills both games from Bayo.

IDC if I'm salty or negative,this is really not fun to watch. Begging for Raito or the other Sheik to pull through.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

If there is any Bayonetta who can win EVO, it has to be Zack. His personality greatly matches to his main and he seems to have more passion with his main than Lima or Mistake.

 

[Iridium]

I want to see Nietono take this. He has shown that he can take sets from highly established players when he doesn't get janked at all.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Lima 2-0 Mistake
CaptainZack vs. Lima in Winners Finals!

 

[MarioManTAW]

Nietono 2-1 Choco
Choco out at 7th! Nietono now fights Mr. E for 5th.

Why did it have to be Raito vs MVD? :[

Edit: What a set

 

[Iridium]

Bets on Raito vs. MVD? I mean, MVD has already lost to Raito and Tamushika, so maybe he just doesn't do very good in this MU, or Raito (and Tamushika) are really good in this MU, and it will show.

 

[MarioManTAW]

MVD 2-1 Raito
Raito out at 7th. MVD now fights Mistake for 5th.

 

[Yonder]

And I'm gone. Ughhhhhhhhhhh. Sorry. Can't help it Raito HAD it.

 

[MarioManTAW]

This just occurred to me: have any of these top 8 players won a national? I think no matter who wins, it could be their first.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

At first, I though MVD placing 31st PGR at first is bull crap. Now, being able to enter top 8 and winning many players at EVO, I changed my mind. Congrats MVD!

 

[Iridium]

And MVD ends Raito in the exact same way he ended Cosmos. Well, MVD vs. Mistake now.

 

[Cheryl~]

Good job MVD, but god dammit I wanted Raito to win so badly.

Duck Hunt Dog will always be the winner of EVO in my heart

 

[MERPIS]

Where the hell is Nairo, Wadi, and MKLeo?

 

[TDK]

I think they should reveal Bayonetta 3 tonight! :D Gah, I am looking forward to that game!

Bayonetta 3 is already out, it's called Smash 4.

 

[Cheryl~]

Where the hell is Nairo, Wadi, and MKLeo?

Nairo got out at 33rd, Wadi didn’t make it, and MKLeo came down with chickenpox.

 

[Minordeth]

Top 8 being best of 3 is stupid as hell.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Where the hell is Nairo, Wadi, and MKLeo?

MkLeo got Chicken Pox, Nairo placed 33rd and WaDi not here.

 

[MERPIS]

Nairo got out at 33rd, Wadi didn’t make it, and MKLeo came down with chickenpox.

explains the netta infestation..Alright then I guess I'm hoping MVD or literally ANYONE ELSE but the 3 nettas take it.
What a weird top 8 it feels incomplete

Nietono 2-1 Mr. E
Mr. E out at 5th and Nietono advances to Losers Semis! If he wins this, not only would every Smash 4 EVO have a different champion, but also a different home country of the champion! (Chile, Canada, USA, Japan)

 

[Iridium]

Nietono 2-1 Mr. E
Mr. E out at 5th and Nietono advances to Losers Semis! If he wins this, not only would every Smash 4 EVO have a different champion, but also a different home country of the champion! (Chile, Canada, USA, Japan)

I'm also looking at the character. Every year, a different character has won EVO, and Bayo would be a repeat (although you could say Nietono for Sheik, assuming you don't count Diddy Kong).

 

[MERPIS]

a different character has won EVO, and Bayo would be a repeat

If this happens I'm quitting until ultimate is released

 

[MarioManTAW]

Mistake 2-0 MVD
MVD out at 5th. Mistake advances to fight Nietono in Losers Semis!

 

[JustCallMeJon]

The banana hitbox actually got witchtimed with MVD himself...twice? Huh..

 

[MarioManTAW]

I'm also looking at the character. Every year, a different character has won EVO, and Bayo would be a repeat (although you could say Nietono for Sheik, assuming you don't count Diddy Kong).

ZeRo played Sheik and Diddy, Nietono plays Sheik and Diddy. Character will absolutely be a repeat.

 

[MarioManTAW]

If this happens I'm quitting until ultimate is released

Odds of Bayo not winning are very low. Nietono would have to beat all three of Mistake, Lima, and CaptainZack (one of them twice) to win the tournament, and he's the only non-Bayo left.
Assuming each set has a 50% chance of going either way, there is a 93.75% chance that Bayo will win the tournament.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

So many boos in the crowd OMG, the community has grown really toxic right now. Poor Mistake...

 

[**Gilgamesh**]

Welp this cements that Bayo should be placed in SS TIER as she clearly in a league of her own vs the rest of the roster. 3 bayos in top 4 without Tweek or Mkleo pocket Bayo either.

 

[Iridium]

ZeRo played Sheik and Diddy, Nietono plays Sheik and Diddy. Character will absolutely be a repeat.

Yeah, well Bayo would make people more salty. Nietono has the Bayo gauntlet now, and I hope he pulls through.

 

[MarioManTAW]

First Bo5 set (and potentially all Bo5 sets, if Mistake beats Nietono) will be a Bayo ditto. There's no way that's going to cause any problems/controversy....

 

[JustCallMeJon]

CaptainZack vs Lima in Winners Finals...Bayo Ditto B05...CaptainZack plz win..

 

[MarioManTAW]

Lima 3-2 CaptainZack to advance to Grand Finals winners side! (Let's go Texas!)

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Zack... Lets see Nietono vs Mistake then..

 

[Iridium]

Darn it. And to think this EVO would have been very different had MkLeo and Tweek showed up.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Nietono 2-0 Mistake
Mistake out at 4th while Nietono advances to fight CaptainZack in Losers Finals!

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Nietono beat Mistake, there is hope...

 

[Iridium]

Nietono easily went on the best losers run out of all the players at EVO. I'm going to look at it later.
