Tearbear's not a no-namer... He's currently the 54th ranked player on Smashboard's ranking. When Shaya made the Notable Players List, he was among the top Captain Falcon players.

Well, one of the best Japan players (Niatono... something like that, going by announcers' pronunciation) just lost to Tearbear, so I wouldn't count on the Japanese one necessarily happening.
Nietono?

I know @Raziek is entering this tournament and has ostensibly done well in his first few sets. He has cited the fact that customs are extremely beneficial to Robin and mentions this as being a factor in Robin's competitive viability (that and he's just a very good player to begin with).

Anyone think this could help Robin, if so, could they theoretically do better in a customs meta or are their intrinsic flaws just too massive to overcome?

EDIT: oh my god winnie what it wrong with you and spelling today

Was that in tournament or MM?

...Yes.

(too easy, sorry)

I imagine Robin's biggest flaw is movement. If Robin's customs synergize in such a way as to... not require a need in approaching/retreating (regardless of advantage/disadvantage) as much, then Robin customs can overcome a lot of things.

I of course know nothing about how Robin-with-customs works to overcome this. (Firewall a lot while charging Speed Thunder? I know Firewall does pretty well in keeping Sonic out, at least)

EDIT: On an aside, if you could cancel or avoid the vulnerable state from the second wave from that one elwind that shoots you horizontally, it'd make a pretty neat way for Robin to retreat safely. Maybe.

Looks like Nietono went Brawler ... shoulda stuck to his guns and use Fox/Sheik.

ZeRo with that savage combo. That was at least 6 fairs. He has such a great understanding of the character. Smashville should always be banned against sheik. She gets more combo strings with the platforms. (small blastzones is a +)

So much for the big changes regarding Abadango's pool spot and Nietono then.

Edit: nvm lol

Looking good for abadango
Yes; the same person who took him out of winners, Tearbear (a Falcon), took him out in losers as well. The first major upset so far.

Since the match was in losers, who did Tearbear lose to?

That's what you get for picking up a new main every other month and thinking you can get away with it at majors. Imo he should just go back to Greninja. Too bad for @ Djent Djent and his predictions though.

I'm dying

Did that just happen? Because that was a hilarious punish and good gameplay from PG.Timmy. Beautiful way to end a set.

Comes to show that just a few mistakes can cost you.

Wait what happened?
The Mario got spiked by the last hit of Kirby's Dair at a very low%.

Then, at the second stock, Timmy used Jumping Inhale to Kirbycide the Mario in 23 seconds total.

I feel like I'm missing part of the evo hype even though I'm here! Didn't even know half this stuff, glad I checked.

I got second in my pool after a stupid ledge mistake against gimr game 3. Hopefully tonight goes well!

Also, I only used 3 characters; are you guys proud of me?

I am. Nice job! What did you use?

Certainly has been an interesting day with all of these tense sets.

So did GimR make it out of pools as well?

And which characters did you use?
