wat
9B constantly 2 stocked Nietono back in the day.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Nah, Nietono also took sets of 9B.

Semi related to this thread.

do you know if ganbaranai still plays?

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I figured you would ask that XD
No, I don't know if he still plays or not but I assume he does. Looking at his tourney history he never seemed to enter a lot of tourneys [but if he did he'd always do amazingly well, usually with a new main character each time].

This pretty much. I know they played each other a couple times but I heards its been back and forth recently.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Not really back and forth. While Nietono managed to win sets against him 9B still won the majority of them and 2 stocks weren't that rare for him either.

i found myself being impressed the last time i saw his matches, which is a rare occurence

Sumabato X09 has been announced to take place on the 19th November.

More importantly I have included new youtube channels of two players in the "recommended" section of the OP: Dio and Kakera; The former has winner bracket set of Kuroobi vs Yui from the last Numabura tourney, the latter has more than an hour of footage of Kakera vs Ocean - arguably the highest currently available level of play of a highly controversial match-up. Make sure not to miss this!

 

[xDD-Master]

Ocean <333

 

[Meru.]

Is Kie still alive (or any other good Japanese Peach for that matter)?

 

[~ Gheb ~]

He still does and he usually places as well as his character allows him to.

[Keitaro]

Do you happen to know who Nietono lost to?

Nvm, just saw that Brood beat him.

 

[Tesh]

hmm a zelda...

 

[xDD-Master]

These Vids should definitely be uploaded to some YT channel! (ssbbmania1 preferable)

 

[~ Gheb ~]

They're all on youtube now.

 

[PEACE7]

Yeee a marth in 4th place

 

[Black Mantis]

Random question:
(If this is an inappropriate question then forgive me)
Is Shu coming to Apex? His snake is legit and I wouldn't mind meeting him.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I haven't heard about him coming to Apex. To be honest, I think he's beyond his prime as a Snake player which was from mid 2009 to about last year in my opinion. He seems to have lost grip on the Olimar match-up pretty badly and other "new" match-ups like ROB and Marth seem to be very problematic for him too. I honestly think he's mainly riding the fact that he's so good vs MK and Diddy Kong now but I'd be more than glad if he proves me wrong.

[For reference: he used to have a favorable record vs Brood that he lost recently, used to go even with Nietono whom he loses to all the time now and drops sets vs Mikeneko and Luminous now].

 

[PZ]

Mikeneko is good and all but is really bad at the mk mu...

He catches on fast its just he never starts off good and towards the end thats not good for confidence=(

Also he bad against nado(i believe spotdodging it instantly is stupid against a good mk)

This weekend SumabatoX10 takes place. Here's the list of participants: http://smashbrothers.org/tournament/x/list.php

With "only" 74 entrants it's going to be a rather "modest" event but with 9B, Rain, SLS, Masashi and Kakera taking part top level play is to be expected.

 

[Keitaro]

*still waiting for Nietono and 9B to attend the same tournament* :/

Its been a while.

Kie's name is translated to I came lmao

 

[Mike2]

Lots of videos from a week ago on this channel http://www.youtube.com/user/hakurow12

Unless these are old recordings?

 

[Tesh]

The descriptions say its from a tournament on the 13th.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

These are from a tourney that happened not too long ago, I just didn't know videos exist. In case the results surprise you it should be noted that they used the Apex stagelist, that not everybody is used to. Rain / Earth are experienced with it hence their outstanding placings.

Thanks for adding though, that's some great material for the MK section - Kakera, El and Otori videos on one occasion [and against each other!] is just tasty.

 

[Tesh]

Oh, I'll have to look through it now if it has some stage diversity.

 

[Keitaro]

Kinda hard to understand what part of bracket these players are fighting on. Anyone have the results for that tourney?

 

[~ Gheb ~]

1 Rain
2 Nietono
3 Otori
4 El
5 Kakera / Yui
7 Kuroobi / Earth

 

[Keitaro]

Thanks. I gotta update Apex players on this info soon.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

From what I heard the entire top 5 of the tourney minus Yui will be at Apex.

 

[xDD-Master]

Apex will be soooooo great.
Could you link me the japan-apex-player-list please??
Btw. El's MK is really good :0!
I like those vids a lot :]

 

[CYVE]

A shame that Masashi isn't able to travel to Apex

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I'm going to update this thread when Sumabato videos are up. Apex rehearsal videos will be added as well as the new youtube channel.
