I'm really happy with the results.
- Peach and Puff took the top 3 spots!
- Falco and Falcon players kicked
ass like they should.
- I'm glad I never doubted Armada's skills. Peach has amazing potential but is underrepresented in the US. I think he took a lot of heat from the crowd and I feel kind of bad. Hope he comes back to the States again.
- Mango broke out the box puff for the first time in ages. Testament to Armada's skill as well as the sheer epicness of the tourney.
- Everyone can finally see how overrated SS was. He's a good player for sure, but he had way too many fanboys...
- Speaking of which, DBR came out of retirement!
- Ignatius deserves an award for his timely updates.
- Last and most importantly, in the top 16 there were:
3 Foxes
1 Marth
2 Sheiks
4 Falcos
3 Peaches
4 Puffs
3 Falcons
which means that
Melee is still balanced after all these years and the metagame is still evolving!
