Pound 4 predictions

[Zephynazo]

I am american and I think armada will truthfully take the smash king title to europe.

Then the scene will die because americans can't travel.

This guy knows whats up

 

[Turazrok]

Isai will get to the finals with pichu then quit.

 

[xbombr]

boback's taking this

This.

1. Sidefx
2. who cares?
3. who cares?
4. who cares?

ect. ect.

 

[Wschl]

Amsah will win this.

 

[ShootingStars]

armada got lucky? wow....

 

[JBM falcon08]

zephy i guess it kinda was an opinion... but mango did play way better. Armada did play shaky as **** but he got his **** together.

Mango is just gonna go fox on that dude and beat him with the best char in the game.

HE DID say that.

 

[Foy]

Armada got lucky. Its the opposite of your opinion of huge european **** riders.

Im not saying he isnt good. America wasn't ready for it. I don't think anything besides Canada is beasting into top 10.

 

[Rain(ame)]

It was quite obvious to see that Mango gained a lot of confidence after he managed to land this rest on Armada's roll. The crowd helped as from cheering a bit for Mango, it went absolutely crazy.
On the opposite, after this rest Armada lost part of his confidence (given the situation, who wouldn't ?), and it went downhill after the lost set in grand finals. As he told me, being one hit away from to win the biggest smash tournament ever while you were dominating, only to have everything to redo because your opponent punished one of the very few mistakes you did... that's really frustrating, and it my opinion, it's one of the reasons explaining why the last set wasn't that close.

Anyway, both of them showed they have what it takes to win this tournament. After a few monthes, they probably improved and changed the way they play. Both of them could beat the other, now, and that's what it makes the tournament so hyped. I really hope it will be as epic as Genesis, even if one of them doesn't make it to the Grand Finals because of another awesome player

Zephy, you've never played Mango.

Granted, I haven't played Armada, so the only information I have is what Mango did to Armada last. Mango will win, unless he does something to make sure he doesn't play fine. The kid will probably drink though, so oh well.

That's also just ur opinion JBM.

I don't think Mango played so much better after match 2.4 @ genesis, more like Armada was in some kind shock mode. He told me himself that. He couldn't focus right cuz he had just lost a match which would make him worlds best at melee, and so on.

All this sounds like Johns....no offense. Someone being in shock means they lost mentally, which is a HUGE part of the battle. That means that Mango held his mentality longer. If Mango drinks and loses...that means he'll be C.O.L. No offense, Hugs. It's his choice, and he'll have to deal with it.

If Armada knows he lost mentally...then it's up to him to re-focus his mind. Don't bring that up as a John. Mango KNOWS why he lost RoM2. He wasn't focused ENOUGH. To say he wasn't focused at all is nonsense, because he wouldn't have won teams. He also wouldn't have placed as high as he did. I dare say he underestimated, moreso than anything.

"I lost because I couldn't focus...I need to work on that." Something tells me that's what Armada said. If he just said he lost because he couldn't focus and left it at that...it means he's johning. You, Zephy, are making it seem like he's johning right now.

"Armada only lost because he was in shock...if he hadn't have...(insert screw-up here) he'd NEVER have lost."

WE don't know that. If Armada got shook and Mango took advantage of that...guess what? Mango > Armada. It's like how M2K got shook and he couldn't handle Mango at RoM. It was settled then and there. Mango > M2K. Face facts and deal with it.

Armada got lucky.
Im not saying he isnt good. America wasn't ready for it.

That means America got cocky. They were expecting him to be good, but not as good as he was. They slept on him. Bad idea...period. Armada didn't get lucky at all. (except the fact that he got LuCKy in brackets, LOL) He handles business. He played his all with confidence and not OVER confidence. He had the mental edge. Kid is beyond the normal player...period.

There are players like that in America. Some don't play anymore. Others just don't focus on the game as much or enough. So Armada has the edge. We'll see what happens when Genesis comes around. Just assuming that he got "lucky" means nothing. He did his duty fair and square.

 

[-ACE-]

Peepee!!!!!!!

 

[Dr Peepee]

Hi Ace. =p

They're busy talking about Armada and johns right now, so we should watch. shhhhh

 

[Rain(ame)]

Hi Ace. =p

They're busy talking about Armada and johns right now, so we should watch. shhhhh

Lol <3 PP. One of the few players to actually scare me after watching you go off, xD. I want friendlies =p. Then I can have the PP experience before we interview you. ^_^

PP is def placing high in this tournament. PP vs. Amsah will be hype....if it happens. I want to be there.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Dawwwww
I'm alright. =p

Yeah we should friendly! That'd be cool with me.

I'm really excited to play everyone good from Europe, so I'll expect everyone to root for me when I do. <3

 

[Cactuar]

I'll be in the PP cheering section.

 

[SuperRad]

There is not justification behind saying Armada 'got lucky' [other than maybe his set with Mew2King, but that's a different story]. Being underestimated isn't a product of luck. He had an advantage: none of the top players at Genesis had played him before. But that works both ways.

I think Mango probably underestimated Armada the most [and I can't really blame him, as he had steamrolled everyone at RoM and was uncontested at the top for a long time]. But at the same time, after one set of getting whooped he wasn't underestimating Armada any more. And it STILL took 4 games to break him [or figure him out or demoralize him, whatever you want to call it] in that second set.

 

[Dr Peepee]

I'll be in the PP cheering section.

****! I can't lose now!

Mad <3 to Cactus. =)

Thanks for the support haha.

 

[TheManaLord]

mango actually won a close set v chu at rom it wasn't really a steamroll, mostly was though. just wanted to bring that set up! chu dat is so good

This. Even American players know what's up. It was legit.

Friendlies it is. Also...with Cactus in your corner...you have the minds of a thousand Smash geniuses

It was streamed because I watched it as it happened. Chu was SO close to winning it wasn't even funny. The match came down to last stock high %. I still think Chu should have went Pika, but that was the past. ICz ftw.

 

[The Irish Mafia]

Armada's gonna **** everything

just bend over and let it happen

 

[raincatchfire]

yes, skler vs. germ mm please.

also, this thread sucks without vbm controversy. lol



and would someone please stop mango from drinking? have a frickin' intervention for him, HUGS!!!

 

[ihavespaceblondes]

One of my crewmates is in his pool, so I will personally be handing him shots of Sailor Jerry until he passes out Friday night.

 

[hungrybox]

IHSB your posts are so CLASS.

I would travel to Europe. I have the money...but there's still some legal stuff I have to work out with my family that restricts me from flying OOC.

 

[KirbyKaze]

Also, this Ganon hype is getting a bit out of control. Ganon is a mid tier character, and he's worse than Samus. He's a simple character who reaps big rewards off of his opponent's easily avoidable mistakes. Almost everything Ganon does has to be pre-emptive. Just be slow, patient, and don't do anything out of random urges.

Not Saying I'm the anti-Ganon, it's one of my harder matchups simply for lack of experience. But really, he's too simple a character.

Shhhhhhh don't tell them the secret

 

[DAftFlip]

I think there are actually 400 melee players going to Pound 4, but but the otrher 40-50 did not register but are just going in order to play Friendlies, MMs Seriouslies, and/or participate in rews for their region.

Maybe Forward will go anyway...same for sethlon, DSF, cort, etc...


Lol poor kirby not even King Kirby/ PC/ SW could save Kirbyfrom being at the bottom of the food chain.

Yeah PC has a BEAST Kirbster

He did make arrangements with some people so yeah. Like Lake said expect this tournament to be the biggest ever...unless Genesis 2 has anything to say about it.

I wanna see Korea (They **** at melee), Brazil, Australia, more Latin American countries, more European pros (Finland, Italians, Swedes including EK and Calle W), a few Japanese players who still play including Bombsoldier, and Mach Dash at the next International tourney...that and the people who actually say they're going to go initially to actually stick it out and go so that the next tourney will have like 600-700 people for melee.

Imagine if DA starts playing melee again. (Mike G's goal to get his crew back into the game)

I'm DA but unfortunately it'll only be Mike G, Wes ( for brawl ... yeah I know ) and me at #.
Only in the past 9 months have I gotten Melee tourney worthy. It's thanks to my mentor and the best friend anyone could ask for, Jenson ( DireVulcan ) and my NC CATFISH !!!
I plan on getting much better at Melee now that I've seen alot of results from practice and sets with the people of NC. I might or might not be in the top/near top one day. Who knows. But I practice too hard and I have a great crew backing me up and good friends. So Strawhats maybe your dream of seeing DA back at it isn't too far off. + I might be doing commentary @ Pound. Noone knows yet though

Friendlies it is. Also...with Cactus in your corner...you have the minds of a thousand Smash geniuses

You have no idea.

[MacD]

PP, when it's you vs me in grand finals (i mean obviously foy and chok speak the truth) how are we supposed to cheer for each other, i mean i want you to win... but i want me to win

how can we deal with this conundrum

 

[KirbyKaze]

both of you should forfeit to me and let me have the money ^.^

 

[Dr Peepee]

Well MacD, we're using the others' tags. We could use the others' character maybe?

Seems flawless to me.

KK raises a strong point though.

 

[jugfingers]

You have no idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyote

The hopi say peyote is a plant that percieves reality in six dimensions.

 

[MacD]

oh, you don't know bout my falco, better start training against peaches, best watch yourself

 

[Dr Peepee]

It's too late to take it back huh?

Dang.

 

[DAftFlip]

DRPP ... You're cordially invited.

The hopi say peyote is a plant that percieves reality in six dimensions.

I fee like I can think in six when I'm ... cactusin it up.

@ PP - In honor of going to Pound, you being so freakin good and a great guy, and Wes and Mike G behind me, we're bringing back DA for a day! You will be DA for a weekend !!! ( I hype this tooo hard ) lmao

[Dr Peepee]

Oh for real? Tight!

Edit: I hope Falco wins too. =p

 

[Rubyiris]

If a falco doesnt win, it's going to be hard to resist the urge to punch babies.

 

[Charlesz]

Falco doesnt win what? Mango's falco / jiggs are gonna be in top 3 for sure unless he gets " drunk " again.

 

[TheManaLord]

falco might get 3rd but thats it

it'll probably be

peach
sheik
fox

all europe.

 

[angel_without_heart]

no one have talked about Strawhat Dahean , a spanish guy
I know i'm not as good as pros but i'm able to recognize amazing player and he's one of them.
i predict top5 for this guy.

 

[ChivalRuse]

Europeans getting a little too much credit. They're outnumbered, after all.

 

[Ken_Y`]
