Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

[adom4]

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?

Was Ganondorf one of them?

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Somebody is actually going Lucina in tournament

hype hype hype

Holy crap the Lucina advanced. Took out a Sonic/Lucario player.

hype hype hype

 

[Nu~]

So I heard Tearbear knocked some nobody out of pools?

Nietono

 

[Balgorxz]

customs have been amazing so far at evo, mainly because people stick to standard moves unless it's an underused character.

 

[FlynnCL]

Watching that Sonic f-smashing so much got me annoyed for some reason, especially when attempting to f-smash a Dancing Blade mid-hits. I also got annoyed that he kept getting hit by shield breaker and air-dodging in too.

Don't mind me, I'm just a bitter old man because Lucina won.

Edit: Oh, here comes VillagerBox.

 

[Nu~]

I already see Twitter comments like "Celebrate!! Customs will be gone after today!!" smh.

 

[Gunla]

Villagerbox?

Is this happening?

EDIT: There's the Jiggs!

 

[Ffamran]

Oh yeah, I forgot; Chillin entered Smash 4 singles. Anyone know if this bracket: http://evo2015.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssb4_b47.html, was finished already or seen him play yet? He played Mega Man from what I remember.

 

[hypersonicJD]

And Hungrybox got rekt. Not even Custom Villager could help him. This tourney has been really good with so many different characters. I'm happy at watching more characters being played. Especially that Lucina.

 

[hypersonicJD]

ESAM. PLS STOP. TOO MANY UP B X_X

That first match was just amazing. Esam was really really aggresive. It was really good play from him. And Chudat didn't knew what to do or was just really distracted. Also, dat Thunder Spike.

 

[ParanoidDrone]

I already see Twitter comments like "Celebrate!! Customs will be gone after today!!" smh.

This doesn't even make sense. I haven't been able to follow any streams today, but it sounds like there haven't been any instances yet of customs bull****. Why then would they be gone after EVO? (Assuming this trend is true and continues.)

 

[MajorMajora]

I'm loving all of this alph play. Olimar looks really good if you know what your doing.

 

[Drarky]

Is it me or Smashville has barely even picked up? I was expecting at the very least 3/4 of the tourney being on it.

Not that I'm complaining, I love the variety.

 

[Emblem Lord]

Holy crap the Lucina advanced. Took out a Sonic/Lucario player.

hype hype hype

Loses only slightly to Sonic.

Beats Lucario imo.

Jab 1 to f-smash mix-ups are legit scary.

 

[Unknownkid]

So wait... Are we allow to talk about EVO here?

Anyways... it was nice to see Custom Bowser. Too bad he is against MVD's diddy.

Edit: Shoot. I missed the shield break. What move did Bowser use to break Diddy's shield?

 

[zeldasmash]

Dat Bowser Bomb! :O That was freaking awesome!

 

[Baskerville]

Wow @ that Bowser Bomb.

 

[Superbat]

^ Final Boss doesn't care. Nice shield Break. Ended MVD's life with that fully charged f smash.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Sonic doesn't surprise me, Lucario does

Outside of Fsmash, she ain't killing that quickly. Which means Lucario is getting Aura and dat Side B for a long time.

 

[bc1910]

I suppose it's too much to ask for Greninja to have done anything at all?

 

[Drarky]

Pretty good matches from Final Boss, that was one hell of a scary Bowser.

I'm not gonna lie, I screamed like a little girl when the shield break happened

 

[C0rvus]

Kinda pissed that that Tweek set wasn't on stream. Would've loved to see his Wario.

 

[hypersonicJD]

A MEXICAN FALCON!? HYPE HYPE HYPE. MAH COUNTRY IS AT EVO. And he just defeated a Yoshi. I'm really hoping for more Mexicans to enter EVO. Mexico has really good potential.

AND HE WON!!!!!!!!! I'M HYPED.

Regi should get some stream time. His GnW is nuts

 

[Ryu_Ken]

NO DAD NOT THE BELT.
That was a decent match vs. Bowser Jr to say the least. Haven't seen any Bowser Jr players in a LONG time.

 

[Nu~]

@Radical Larry
I found your link.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

@Radical Larry
I found your link.

And he's getting stomped.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

This is what all Links must learn from here on out: HIS JAB COMBOS DON'T WORK NO MORE.
Well, he didn't seem all that confident with Link from the get-go.

 

[zeldasmash]

That Link was just........bad.....this isn't 1.0.5 or anything before, Link's Jab combos are gone. Seeing this at EVO is just downright sloppy. The guy had no idea what he was doing with Link.

He didn't seem confident with Link, anyway. If you're not completely dedicated with Link, you're not very likely to win.
Also, Keitaro is really putting in work with . Hope it all pays off.

 

[H-O-G]

Any link to the lucina fights?

 

[hypersonicJD]

So stupid. By the way, Keitaro's Falco was playing amazing. That match was pretty good.

 

[C0rvus]

Keitaro vs JDawg was a pretty fun set. Keitaro really put on the pressure, but JDawg adjusted and played well too. I got hype.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

That was a pretty good Falco vs. DDD. Nice performance from both sides. Keep up the good work JDawg and Keitaro.

 

[Ffamran]

Keitaro played a bit too aggressive in the second match. With a lead and Triple D being slow, he had no reason to approach or commit much. Could have thrown some lasers, bait approaches, and punish which Falco does well. The only other Falco players left are Larry Lurr if he actually intends to use Falco for whatever reason and Cyro who I can't find his name anywhere in the brackets.

He got a bit cocky. Guess that happens when you take the first game. Nevertheless, he got more serious in the third game and won. They were all great imo.
Hope the other Falco players make it through pools. PBJ's pacman is up against Mario.

 

[zeldasmash]

Wow. That Mario read was impressive. He basically read the future right there.

He put PBJ on the spot. Those crazy reads wrecked him.

 

[Nu~]

Why did he trampoline into his up smash lol

Well, it's Keitaro, the player who will spot dodge in place 8 times, spam Side Smash until it works, and takes you to random stages. What's strange is that Keitaro's more of a cautious player, so seeing him be this aggressive is different. He could have used Nair a bit more, there were moments for Down Smash OOS, and he should be more careful about using Falco Phantasm to recover since, y'know, borked hitbox.

Also, I love how EE pointed out how the Canadian Mario player was attractive, Sky hit on him, and then something with PB&J. We lovin' tonight.
