Meta Pound 2016 Competitive Impressions

[FullMoon]

Oh god Abadango really is gonna take this

 

[Xandercosm]

My god this is intense!

 

[Wintermelon43]

If I was watching this last summer, I would legit think this is a troll lol.

 

[420quickscoper]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Let's rock and roll, boys . . .

Abadango is gonna win the tournament, Mewtwo is going to be number 1 in the game, and he will become the world's strongest pokemon. Guaranteed.

Wait, he's winning...
I'm crying.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

GOOOO ABADANGO!!!!!! He won a major with a high tier character in !!!

 

[NotLiquid]

So does this mean that 3.99 is the new meme?

 

[Xandercosm]

Mewtwo takes it! WOW!

 

[FullMoon]

Mewtwo has won Pound

Oh my god

 

[TDK]

Yeah! Great job Aba!

 

[Das Koopa]

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ RAISE YOUR ABADONGERS ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

this was a historic tourney 3.99 confirmed

 

[Xandercosm]

This is a HUGE day for Mewtwo. Insane. Absolutely insane. The meta changes once again!

 

[ARISTOS]

used to eat up like it was nothing; now Mario finds it hard to get in.

Can't kill Mewtwo if you never get to touch him

 

[Smog Frog]

abadango not only won it all, he only dropped 1 game the entire top 8. solo .

 

[Hippieslayer]

why did he run it back to smashville? whyyyyy? like srsly

think ally coulda taken it with some more mu experience, mario vs m2 doesnt look bad for mario imo

 

[Superbat]

Congrats Abadango. Well deserved win (Mewtwo tho?)

 

[apparently fuz]

A Mewtwo won a major.

Alright, there's no contest that Mewtwo is at least a high tier character.

 

[A10theHero]

This is going to be really good for Mewtwo's meta. More people will likely pick him up and his meta will be pushed even farther. His future is looking pretty bright.

 

[Reapers]

With Mewtwo now being a legitimate threat, no doubt many of the top players will try learn the MU. Can't wait to see how Abadango will do in the upcoming months. Also, congrats to Ally as well. Such an amazing player.

 

[NairWizard]

y'all talkin about Tweek being held back by Bowser Jr. and being freed by Cloud


what about Abadango

Held back by Meta Knight and then freed by Mewtwo!

kekeke

 

[420quickscoper]

WE DREAMED OF CREATING THE WORLD'S STRONGEST POKEMON....



AND WE SUCCEDED.

MUHAHAHA!

 

[Gunla]

Seeing Mewtwo go from being one of the worst in the game to winning a major...

It's definitely surreal.

 

[Xandercosm]

Well, I'm excited. I'm glad I picked up Mewtwo a while back.

 

[Baskerville]

I'm so happy for Abadango right now.

 

[BlazGreen]

Massive congrats to Abadango! He played brilliantly all weekend.

Also, hype!

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Well, I'm excited. I'm glad I picked up Mewtwo a while back.

And I am glad I starting labbing him after his first round of buffs. This is awesome!

 

[NotLiquid]

Real talk though I'm super proud of Abadango. He totally deserved this win. Absolutely incredible display in an amazing tournament. Mewtwo mains deserve this field day.

 

[420quickscoper]

I love how Abadango just straight up says "I'm gonna win" and he 3-0's Ally.
I love you, Abadango.

 

[Yonder]

Woohoo! And I mained M2 right at release!
Never thought I would see the day.

Now to sit back and wait two months for my other main to get nerfed like Luigi did.

 

[Xandercosm]

Well, I'm really happy. Thinking back to a year+ ago imagine what people would have thought. A MEWTWO of all characters taking a national. The character everyone thought was awful.

 

[Nobie]

It's-a me, Mewtwo. I'm-a gonna win.

Great job to Abadango for straight up 3-0-ing Ally. The fact that he didn't get psyched out by Mario's amazing frame data tricks was super important.

 

[BlueX]

Mewtwo won! I am so hyped for Mewtwo now! It is incredible how far he has gone in the meta game...

 

[ReroRero]

I love Smash 4.

 

[Y2Kay]

Started from the bottom (tier) now we here ! ! !

 

[Baskerville]

If Abadango wins this tourney I will main Mewtwo

Welcome to the team.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

This tourney is a huge turning point. It shows that top tiers don't win nationals, but anyone can despite the character. We even almost saw a Kirby knocking our Mr.R

 

[BlazGreen]

This was a great tournament all around. So many matches going to the final game and so many Oddshot moments! So glad I was able to watch most of it.

 

[Green Zelda]

someone send this back to 2015 lmao

 

[Thinkaman]

I just got back from a quick time-hop to 2015, to tell everyone that Plank hosted a new Pound after paying off all the back-winnings, and it not only didn't have Zero, Nairo, or Dabuz in top 8 but was won by Abadango's Mewtwo--even though everyone thought a Cloud or Bayonetta was going to win.

I was told this was the least believable thing since Donald Trump's candidacy.

 

[Y2Kay]

This love triangle between me, greninja, and mewtwo got a lot more complicated.

just last year Mewtwo was my lovable bottom tier pocket.

And now he's probably surpassing my main? Wholly Cow.

 

[Xandercosm]

2014 Smash 4 was like a different game really. It's kind of amazing just how far this entire game has come and how much the meta has developed.
