Best we have at the moment unless that twitter has been updating it.

John Numbers vs Zero.... Why? I want John Numbers to make it far.

 

[Nu~]

Man...
He used z dropping to launch the hydrant to keep his other moves fresh.

So smart

 

[Minordeth]

Angel could have gone in harder, but I feel like Abadango would have taken advantage of it and used hydrant combos for massive damage. That shield pressure was real.

 

[hypersonicJD]

Anyone else loves the whristle song from Smashville? I love hearing it. Also K.K.Rider is pretty hype. MJG having a pretty good lead right now.

 

[Minordeth]

And hey, Ally, using his head.

 

[Drarky]

See? Custom Villager is beatable!

...sadly, people are lazy and they are going to complain because they are lazy. I'm sad.

Stream has the names wrong, Ally is the Mario. And he is having none of MJG's Villager.

 

[hypersonicJD]

Yeah just noticed lol. Stupid Evo guys.

And Ally got the game pretty easily. Nice Up Smash.

 

[Minordeth]

Ally 2-0, even with MJG taking a bit out of Ranai's book.

 

[TheZyzyva]

MJG was not detonating the balloons, coulda made things a lot more difficult for Ally if he did. Only saw them go off twice. An act of honor or something?

Edit: Numbers vs Zero! GET HYPED! I really hope he didnt get that Wii.

No. Ledgestalling Villager is the problem not Custom Villager. They are two different play styles.

 

[Minordeth]

More like constant pressure from Ally.

 

[zeldasmash]

John Numbers vs Zero........Here we go!

 

[Superbat]

rip john numbers

 

[Minordeth]

alright. The match that I am staying up for: Zero vs. John Numbers.

 

[FullMoon]

"Pac-Man doesn't deal a lot of damage"

I just woke up, what is even going on

 

[Asdioh]

rip john numbers

This is my prediction.

also the ending of abadango vs angel was exactly what I expected: a roll onstage hit by an UpB. I didn't think it would be THAT close though.

 

[zeldasmash]

I just woke up, what is even going on

Abadango moving on by the clutch of the tiniest microsecond.

EDIT: And surprise, surprise!

Zero won the round 1......

 

[FlynnCL]

Did the Villager recovery fuel nerf in 1.0.8 actually effect any of his/her ledge-stalling capabilities with Customs?

 

[Minordeth]

Zero adjusts so quickly. Good Lord.

 

[Zelder]

I for one am shocked that the best player in the game using the best character beat a mid tier hero.

 

[Unknownkid]

It has but you have to hit him low enough to take an effect. This is the reason he stopped flying under the stage.

 

[Minordeth]

Zero downloaded him.

 

[FullMoon]

So I missed some hype sets huh? Figures. I hope they get uploaded later.

 

[zeldasmash]

And Zero moves on......surprise of the tournament.....

 

[C0rvus]

So does Zero even play Diddy anymore? i mean, I figured he would ignore him in favor of Sheik pretty quickly, but he's even wearing a Diddy shirt. Stop acting like you care about the character, dude. What happened to Fox, anyway?

 

[Drarky]

Our WFT hero will be remembered. Pretty cool stuff even after the loss

 

[Unknownkid]

Funny enough, Zero had switch to Diddy when he fought a Kirby.

 

[Minordeth]

I feel like John Numbers should have pulled out his Charizard. That grab game with rage may have helped keep Zero off balance. Probably not enough to swing the set, though.

 

[NotLiquid]

I think I want to try picking up WFT again. She's been fun from my experience and seeing one break into Top 32 is an encouraging sight.

John Numbers put up a pretty good fight but I'm sure he can still push onward a bit in Losers.

 

[Minordeth]

I won't be able to stay up for Ally vs. Zero, which disappoints me. If anyone can adapt like Zero, it's Ally.

 

[ぱみゅ]

If WFT loses the Sheik MU, Charizard gets DESTROYED, needles are too much of a hassle, and he's combo meat, that coupled with the fastest, combo-heaviest character, doesn't sound too promising.

He won FC Return going solo Diddy like 2 weeks ago. He's going to do everything he can to win, there's a lot of money on the line. He doesn't "act like he cares about the character" so your hostility to him using Sheik is... strange.

I guess if he was confident in his Zard it could have gone better, but I dunno how much work hes put in with him. I agree though, Zard seems like he has some tools to challenge Sheik, even if he is slow.

And I just heard on stream Awesum vs SS is going to happen, which means Tweek lost to another Villager. I was hoping hed do better than that.

30 seconds in Mr. R loses his first stock.

 

[Superbat]

After the end of evo i'm going to be on life support because my heart can't handle any more of these upsets. Vinnie is out. bloodcross took him out. https://mobile.twitter.com/SeagullJoeSSB/status/622454586431791104?p=v
also rip larry lurr. has to face nairo.

I didn't mean to come off as hostile, it's no surprise at all Zero plays mostly Sheik now. The man wants to be the best, after all. And he is. I just find his insistence on being known as a Diddy main silly, since he knows that's not who his best character is. I've never been a huge fan of the guy, but he's earned his spot.

Not really, he has some surprising fast moves in neutral.

He is combo fodder, but she dies at 80%-90% to an Uthrow.
