that is exactly what happened and i agree, i thought that was very messed up.Thanks for the info. It still quite strange, though, and I'd be curious to see the bracket because one of the likeliest scenario would demonstrate a flaw in this bracket system.
From the original, he would have beaten Knut before losing to Vish. In the other winners' semi, Copycat would have beaten Rockcrock, creating a losers' bracket with NamiNami and RockCrock on one side (+ a few other players like you), while Copycat and Knut were on the other side. Knut and RockCrock won, making it to the bracket. But it also means that despite winning against those who made it to the bracket, Copycat and NamiNami were eliminated. This kind of scenario can happen in regular pools, but here it doesn't give them the opportunity to play against those who take their spot in the bracket.
In short : if my assumptions are true, it's (in my opinion) another argument against this system.
From my experience, it's been the former. People have said straight up they don't think they could get good enough because they just feel like they'll get wrecked the whole time.You know in this tournament it made me realize the level of every smasher is stronger than it was in 2012, it's pretty high up there now. I was wondering.. could that push new players away from smash or is it more inspiring for new players to come in?
I mean I just started melee in november and won a match in both singles and doubles here. I don't feel im too far behind. Then again though, I have 4 years of brawl under my belt, so I already understand the intangibles and mindgames and stuff. I simply need to transition to melee's physics and master the added technical aspect rather than having to learn all the other stuff too. Its definitely not easy, but I have a much better advantage than someone starting completely fresh.You know in this tournament it made me realize the level of every smasher is stronger than it was in 2012, it's pretty high up there now.

that friendlies tv with you/me/cyrain/hdl/ie6 was too hypeDude, too many people to shout out. I'm glad I helped out in regards to reffing instead of just like sitting there playing friendlies for days. I got to meet a LOT of new people!!!!!!!!! (Some I should have met long ago)
AHHH TOO MANY tO SHOUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
But if you and I had any sort of interaction this tournament, you helped make it awesome ^^
Ooh, my friendlies with you and Dunk! That was a lot of fun! :3
It was good times ^^that friendlies tv with you/me/cyrain/hdl/ie6 was too hype
also after playing everyone, it made me realize i'm not as far behind everyone as I thought.
7 stocks baby!!!!!I feel horrible for forgetting this, but shoutouts to Links vs Stinks
and shoutouts to mink for having swag and body bagging me in items ;LBryan i am dissapointed.
I was in this pool, and I agree that it had extremely weird results lol. I thought it was kind of unfair to both NamiNami and Copycat, but at the same time, I wasn't sure if they should've made it out, or if RockCrock/Knut should've made it out. Either way, my pools results shows that this bracket pools system can end up kinda weird =/Thanks for the info.
