Plus it has a larger smash scene. If Europes smash scene dwarfed americas, you would see the top players traveling over to play.

incorrect. given two even players the player w/home field advantage wins more often. this has been demonstrated across sport and competition alike
peepee can be the better player and still have benefitted from crowd conditions. the two are not mutually exclusive

How come nobody in this thread is talking about how a Pikachu managed to break top 5 at a national tournament?
Axe is ****ING RIDICULOUS!

How come no one in this thread is talking about Cactuar, who has been retired except for this past half year in which he entered no more than six tournaments and still made top eight?

Holy balls. Tarheels, I'm going to have put this to a stop.
A PIKACHU IN TOP 5?! WHAT IN THE HELL?!

btw, i'm not saying armada lost "b/c" of the crowd. i'm saying you are in denial if you think location does not matter

AXE was actually mad good. I would like to see him winning a major tournament. there has been kind of a tier revolution going on in this tournament. hard to see fox, marth or sheik capitalizing anymore, everybody is getting used to play against those characters.

what i said does not imply that we should play in a vacuum. only that something people are claiming should not affect results obv does so. it just doesn't happen to affect my opinion of who i think is better in this case

One of the reasons I wanted Armada to lose is anti-american elitism coming from europeans. Europeans always say europe is the best while europe loses time after time, imagine how much **** you'd talk if you won.
I know it won't silence the riders, but PeePee winning is a breath of fresh air.

I'd also just like to reiterate that if your nationality influences your stance on PP vs. Armada or these smash tournaments in general, you're an idiot. Support your favorite player based on the game being played, not the ****ing country they happened to have been born in.
Both PP and Armada are mad legit, and given their tournament record and the closeness of the sets it is both impossible and utterly pointless to speculate who is "objectively" better. PP outplayed Armada today. But that's not to say it couldn't go another way at another time/place.
Also, it's pretty clear Mango has lost his crown at this point. I really hope he attempts to reclaim it at Genesis. The more amazing play the better obviously.
In any case, this tournament was awesome.

As impressive as that is.
It doesn't help that Axe kinda 1uped him.
Vectorman making bracket with Yoshi is pretty amazing too.
And Armada beating HBox with Young Link.
Low tiers coming outa the woodwork

Whoops. Well, you are right. It IS a factor. Not alpha/omega, end-all/be-all, but it is something to consider when you're playing in a high-stakes environment.
Sorry for jumping the gun. I'll read your posts better next time.

You mean we had nothing to do with Africa?
(I kid, I kid.)
I think both players deserve an equal amount of respect. Forgo winner or loser; they played spectacularly and they gave us some of the best footage this game has to offer.

This really proves that the game is still evolving. There were plenty of Mid/Low Tier players making noise at this tournament (TheLake making it to R3 Pools w/ Zelda, for example).

dude, athletes overcome the odds all the time to make upsets happen is hostile crowd situations. armada winning would NOT have been an upset by any means. your crowd johns are so invalid

Shouldn't Hbox be higher than Mango at this point.

Unless him losing to Marios and Ylinks factor in.

PP got his first big success at Tipped Off 5, with 3rd place behind M2K and Hbox.
Then at RoM2 he managed to get 2nd place, beating Kage while Mango couldn't.
At Pound IV he got 9th place, choking and losing to Lucky but with a good performance nonetheless.
After that he started winning sets vs Hungrybox in regionals, proving he is the best Falco in the Puff matchup.
At Apex2 he got 4th place, barely losing to Armada in losers semis.
He then won RoM3, beating Hbox and M2K, then WGF6, beating Mango.
And here he is now... winning Pound V, becoming the new best player in the world.

More anti-american elitism. How am I scum? You make sweeping general statements without backing them up. You should actually learn how to debate instead of always resorting to ad hominem. Did your mother not love you as a child?
