Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

[Nu~]

Well damn lol

Somebody's berserk button was pushed.

I feel where he's coming from. I felt the same way when chef pac almost dropped Pac-Man for ZSS

Smash 4 and playing honest characters and losing to the same old stuff that can be very cookie cutter and happy meal toy characters brings out the salt and tears in people. So much tears you can make kool aid with those tears and fill some pitchers from Evo weekend and serve them to people.

 

[warionumbah2]

I'M LIVID. Mr. E used to be this amazing Marth that everybody loved because he was the underdog. Now that he's a Sheik (despite his old main's buffs) I sincerely hope he doesn't make it out of pools and that his character gets nerfed. And I never wanted Sheik nerfs until now, until I saw this treason on Marth and his kingdom.

Edit: His Sheik wasn't even good

Absolute savage. Take my lunch money.

That Megaman play by Styles was really disappointing

 

[MrTeddyBear]

So apparently Dabuz was kicked out from the stream because "no Rosalinas allowed"

 

[Unknownkid]

But of course. That's why we saw a Kirby beat Rosalina on stream.

 

[Nu~]

That Megaman play by Styles was really disappointing

Shameful considering he was fighting a linear shiek (although that matchup is AWFUL for mega man)

I wonder what his fan base feels like now

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

LMAO welp you play to win
Gotta do what you have to do
You wanna make it out of pools? Take the path of least resistance
When you're in his shoes then it's kinda different
Hopefully he pulls out the Marth for another match

 

[Superbat]

Rain is on stream. Hopefully he won't drown in pools like Nietono. ( possible evo champ)

 

[hypersonicJD]

RAIN HYPE. I hope he does get farther and I finally see him play for the first time.

 

[MrTeddyBear]

Rain wasn't looking very impressive compared to how he usually does in Japan. Hopefully he gets better when he gets to the top 32 later.

Search for Abadango.

Abadango hasn't played yet (nor has aMSa btw @ FullMoon )

EDIT: psuedo 'd

 

[thehard]

aMSa coming up

 

[Unknownkid]

OH! Greninja... wait that Amsa!

 

[Bribery]

I'm glad we get to se aMSa's Greninja. I guess he isn't going Pikachu after all?

 

[FullMoon]

Huh, aMSa decided to just go Greninja then? Nice to know.

Direct link to his pool

EDIT: Kinda 'd, but nobody posted the direct link yet. I remembered his pool name from when he got moved so it was an easy find.

 

[hypersonicJD]

aMSA. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY HEART!? X_X

 

[Solfiner]

Amsa is insane, that was amazing.

 

[Nu~]

aMSa is a beast. Holy ****!!

He still went greninja. Amazing!

 

[Jaguar360]

Holy freaking crap aMSa's combo game has gone to god level o_O. Pulled out the footstools and everything.

 

[Superbat]

loool. Just wait till Ito comes on stream. You guys will freak. ( Top Mk main)

 

[Darkmoone1]

My body wasn't ready for that Greninja.

 

[Ikes]

i missed a lot of pools, has trinen showed up yet? was he knocked out of pools?

 

[MajorMajora]

I want to fanboy about this greninja, but then I realize he's facing a game and watch.

Also, the commentators don't realize that there's a game and watch custom that makes all the side b's a 1 or 9.

 

[Vipermoon]

Good job to aMSa for being a badass.

 

[warionumbah2]

loool. Just wait till Ito comes on stream. You guys will freak. ( Top Mk main)

A)You're jinxing the shizzle out of him.
B)He might go Sheik, why risk putting MK against customs???

 

[FullMoon]

Jesus Christ what is this Greninja.

aMSa's movement is so godlike oh my god.

I wonder if he just went Greninja because it was G&W and is going to switch to Pikachu once things get tough.

 

[Unknownkid]

loool. Just wait till Ito comes on stream. You guys will freak. ( Top Mk main)

He should have been in the Crew Battle instead Tyrant.

 

[momochuu]

amsa literally did not do anything outside of standard greninja play and the commentators jizzed themselves

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Bill Trinen cancelled his plans for EVO, probably in favor of going to Iwata's funeral.

EDIT:

To be fair, standard play of literally any relatively-unseen character can seem impressive due to the simple fact that no one knows what counts as standard for them.

 

[FullMoon]

Well I'm just glad we got to see some Greninja in action from aMSa. He did the footstool combos and all and he controls Greninja so well, I saw him sliding all over the stage.

 

[Wintropy]

I'd just like to point out that it's been nearly a whole day and no custom shenanigans yet.

I pray that this bodes well for the future.

Incidentally, Virus put up a hell of a fight. The projectile game is real.

Kudos to Ember and Bloodcross for Zelda and Charizard. L O W T I E R B O Y Z

EDIT: Fixing the tags because I'm stupid. Meow~

I'm actually on the lookout for literally anything noteworthy involving customs at EVO. I've heard about an early Jumping Inhale Kirbycide but that's it. Anything else so far?

 

[zeldasmash]

Smash 4 EVO has a lot of character variety, and i love this. Seeing characters like Zelda, Link, Charizard, Meta Knight, R.O.B. at EVO is awesome.

 

[Blue Banana]

Kudos to Bloodcross for Zelda and Charizard.

Ember played Zelda, actually. Bloodcross used Charizard.

That was hysterical, though I don't recall it generating any controversy. Admiration if anything.

Everything else seems to be honest thus far. We're about to see Brawler, though, so stay tuned.

Oh, really? Could've sworn I saw Bloodcross's tag over Zelda.
