Meta GOML 2016 (Top 96) Impressions

[PK Gaming]

Oh my

 

[Broqan]

Man Cloud looking mighty toxic right now.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Reminder: Zero had a hand injury and was completely out of the game for months.

If he wins one more set he's guaranteed top 8 which may be below his standards but is still a respectable achievement given the circumstances.

 

[Chalice]

Honestly I expected ZeRo to lose

But not get destroyed holy ****

Hopefully he trains up and gets his skills back up to par from his finger injury.

I don't think you can really call beating him at this tournament to be fully legit because he's obviously not at his best.

And no, don't use The Big House 5 as an exception. That was a mental problem, not an actual physical issue that prevents his from, y'know, controlling his characters properly that also prevented him from practicing for several weeks/couple months

 

[ARGHETH]

He'd have to play either PikaPika! or the winner of Holy-San. So, if all goes well, ZeRo might get double-eliminated by Cloud...

 

[Gunla]

So, Seagull Joe, Vinnie, Nairo x2, and now Mew2King are the only people to ever take sets off ZeRo from 2015 onwards, correct?

And M2K and Seagull Joe are the only ones now who have taken straight sets off of ZeRo IIRC, Seagull with the 2-0 and now M2K with the 3-0.

 

[PK Gaming]

SuperGirlKels with that clean 3-1 over CP03

That final kill was hilarious

Mr. Concon took a set a year ago.

 

[420quickscoper]

San 3-0 over Holy

 

[Nidtendofreak]

San 3-0's Holy

Dat Usmash

 

[KamikazePotato]

San looking incredible this tournament

 

[Ninety]

Goddammit, I missed it. Still, I'll be very surprised if PikaPika, Holy or San can beat ZeRo, even if he's below his usual level.

 

[ARISTOS]

THAT UPSMASH

Good **** @san. !!

 

[Smashifer]

San's definitely showing what Ike can do, even if he's already highly regarded (in everywhere but Japan that is)

 

[Mario766]

I'm coining that the idiot check.


San calls it the WIFI.

 

[Hero_2_All]

Gah of course San gets the Diddy.

My observation of solo Corrin not doing that well at majors seems to be continuing so far. Cool to see that a Shulk and Little Mac made it though.

Eh, Corrin still has probably one of the least developed meta's out of any character in the game ( one of two newest characters, and the vastly lesser played of the two). Also, none of the solo mains here were of exceptional note ( Ie, Cosmos, Ryuga, Hakii). Still seeing that many internationally unknown solo mains make it out of pools speaks very good for Corrin. It's probably more that local players vs international threats happened. Side note the shulk ,robin/ corrin , and the mac doe.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Holy doing an incredible job at showing what a bad and non-underrated character ROB is

> Great spacing throughout the whole set
> Very solid fundamentals
> No glaring mistakes
> Get bodied by mid tier

 

[Smashifer]

Here we go Kels vs. DKWill! I am excited!

 

[KamikazePotato]

Darkwolf (Shulk) 3-1s Yoh (Diddy)

This is the best tournament

 

[Das Koopa]

Darkwolf 3-1 Yoh

F E E L I N G I T

 

[valakmtnsmash4]

DARKWOLF 3-1 OVER YOH. Darkwolf won against the worst MU. SHULK IN TOP 16!

 

[|RK|]

And DK Will over SuperGirlKels! Poor matchups mean nothing today!

 

[Ninety]

Dammit Darkwolf if you keep it up I'm gonna have to reexamine my opinions on Shulk and that's a hassle.

Kels out to DKWill 3-0.

 

[Smashifer]

DKWill 3-0s SuperGirlKels with Ding Dong after Ding Dong!

 

[~ Gheb ~]

DARKWOLF 3-1 OVER YOH. Darkwolf won against the worst MU. SHULK IN TOP 16!

Since when is Diddy Shulk's worst matchup? Fox, Sheik and Sonic are worse.

Great achievement either way.

 

[valakmtnsmash4]

Since when is Diddy Shulk's worst matchup? Fox, Sheik and Sonic are worse.

Great achievement either way.

Diddy is shulks worst MU by a long shot. Fox is on par with it, but a good diddy who banana camps can utterly destroy him. This is commonly agreead along the shulk community. Sonic and shiek arent worse than diddy

 

[Ninety]

It's kinda weird to see a Pikachu and Ike in top 16 and it's neither ESAM nor Ryo.

 

[Emblem Lord]

Emblem Lord will not be happy lmao

no no.

All according to plan.

MUHAHAHAHA

 

[Das Koopa]

San 3-2 PikaPika in a close set

Astro 3-0 False

 

[KamikazePotato]

San 3-2 PikaPika

 

[Cereal Bawks]

San 3-2 PikaPika! San has to fight ZeRo next.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

That set was too close. But game 1 in particular show why some Ikes think we have a slight edge over Pika in the MU. Its just the difference in kill times that does it.

As long as Pika doesn't get a gimp in that is.

 

[Das Koopa]

Alphicans KO Punches iStudying into 17th in a 3-2 set.

 

[Ninety]

ALPHICANS 3-2 OVER ISTUDYING. With a KO Punch, too.

 

[ligersandtigons]

I heard False was DQed?

 

[Jalil]

Alphicans eliminates istudying!

 

[PK Gaming]

Alphicans takes it over iStudying 3-2

Finished him off with the KO punch

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Alphicans reverse 3-0's istudy with Little Mac.

 

[ReroRero]

Of course San is gonna fight the best Diddy in the world, of course

 

[warionumbah2]

Frog got blown back, this is good.
