Oh, my heart was racing for that match haha. Ganon is scary. But ZeRo made all of the right moves - just stay center stage and keep away. He can't be happy about the two missed techs, though.

It's good to see ZeRo again, there's just something about his play. I still don't see anyone else pivot to catch bananas or get the kind of conversions that ZeRo does off his.

Tangentially related but that Palutena player was omega cute

Pretty damn good player too, though I think Prince Ramen is still better

Seriously, guys. People get this type of bull**** in the ever ephemeral Twitch chat all the time. Do they have to get the same unwelcoming nonsense if they're trying to read the Competitive Impressions thread, too?

You're making a mountain out of a molehill. This thread isn't remotely equivalent to a twitch chat so quit with the false equivalence and alarmist behaviour. There's nothing wrong with the occasional lighthearted comment interspersed with legitimate observations

Jerm and Jerm need to do a money match for the rights to the name, because right now it's downright inconvenient for everyone.

Ally and Anti are monsters... Just... No... Rip Mew2king and Nairo. Some of the best Smash 4 players in the world. I mean yeah Ally and Anti are incredibly good. But I didn't expect that kind of dominance.

A really close friend of mine had the (mis)pleasure of running into Anti in pools. He was going 2-0 before he fought him and he got destroyed by him. He described Anti as a "monster" who "got in his head." Anti easily showed the difference between mid and high level play.

He said it was a great experience overall though. I wish I could see it in person.

It's going to be really interesting to see how ZeRo does against Mew2King. How Mew2KIng could very well depend on his mindset. If he beats Leffen in Melee before needing to face ZeRo in Sm4sh, I'm predicting he'll go in very confident and probably 3-2 or 3-1 ZeRo. If he gets demolished by Leffen prior, he'll go 0-3, and probably buster out really hard. Losers Bracket Mew2King is Sad2King, and that's always bad.

If he goes in fighting ZeRo first before he fights Leffen, that could potentially affect his mindset for the latter depending on how well he does, etc. Basically, I think if he wins one, he'll win the other, but if he loses one, he'll lose both.

...I'm also interested to see what ZeRo can do to Mr. R. He'll go Diddy, and he's bopped and demolished very good Sheik players pre-patch with Diddy Kong, but he hasn't attended in forever and has already opened the door to the idea that GOML might not be "a good tourney" for him.

I'm lowkey hoping for the potential greatest upset of all time (Wizzy > ZeRo) so Wizzrobe can be considered a top pro at 3 Smash games but if Wizzy beats ZeRo I think ZeRo's prospects are grim. If ZeRo went on to win after getting sent to losers that early he'd be pulling off a Mango-tier losers run.

Either ZeRo isn't used to this matchup or he's playing well below his real capacity.

If it's the latter, ZeRo's losing to Wizzy for sure lol

Blue SDs Game 3 but he was well behind anyway. ZeRo had him downloaded.

I think Blue got flustered and was over extending himself a lot. Mewtwo can keep Diddy out super well with Shadow Ball, confusion, and Dtilt. Banana is scary but Mewtwo really doesn't have to care about it most of the time.

No. He probably realizes MK isn't going to bring in the w's he wants.

He's doing really good with Cloud whom he doesn't even main, lol.

He might be saving his MK for later and maybe is trying to avoid his main getting downloaded, but we'll see.

I'm hoping Leo proves MK is actually top-level solo-viable, but that likely won't happen.

2ManyCooks is out, lost to SGKels' Sonic.
I'm still pretty mad that 2MC actually lost to C3PO given how close it was.
RIP Doc in Top 32.
