So Ken is competing in at Evo

[shadowrock]

how do marth players feel about that????

 

[Newuser12345215]

He made it to the final 8 it seems, nice.

Here's the topic in the tournament forums.

 

[ixdnL]

It definitely takes skill to make it to the top 8. No one's denying he has that.

I'm waiting for confirmation on what character(s) he used.

 

[grandmaster192]

I bet he went metaknight.

 

[TokiDoki]

Idk, he said he was going to revolutionize marth's metagame which I doubt but idk

 

[ZHMT]

I second grandmaster192's post. If he goes Marth I will be suprised.

 

[KillL0ck]

If he goes Marth I'll be more than happy that he's representing Marth again. I'm definitely on his side for this tournament run.

 

[Shaya]

I'm really interested in the videos already ;_;.

 

[Felixphaeton]

Are there any videos on this? I wanna see how Ken is with marth >.>

 

[ADHD]

Evo? Are there items?

 

[deepseadiva]

Hoang defeated Culver City's Nick Bardol to reach the final eight. However, Bardol recovered got a smashball to win the one match needed to get to the final eight as well.

Fixed. Truthiness is completed.

 

[Shaya]

Due to EVO having smashballs, I wouldn't be surprised if Ken had a space-animal character or even Sonic as a backup to use throughout this.

Because alas, Metaknight + items != god tier.

 

[MarKO X]

MetaKnight is not that incredible with items on, especially with them on medium.
Everyone has a projectile to use against the *******, and some tossed items (bat, star rod, both of which are allowed in Evo's item play) take MetaKnight out very, very easily. And his FS is very, very dodgable. I wouldn't be surprised to not see a MetaKnight get deep in the tourney.

But yeah, i wanna see the videos myself. It'll be refreshing to see some hi-level item play, don't you think?

 

[Retroking2000]

ken got top 8 never doubted him for a second

 

[jinofcoolnes]

But yeah, i wanna see the videos myself. It'll be refreshing to see some hi-level item play, don't you think?

No it wont...


But really why did Evo do this? i mean why be the odd ball.

I really cant wait until someone with a decent sonic Comes to evo.......

 

[PKNintendo]

Where was Ken all of this time? (In the brawl scene I mean)

 

[Minato]

I got to see Ken use Marth at Evo. He didn't revolutionize Marth, but he still played really well. He did mix it up with aerials and maybe some forward B moves. Items made things distracting in my opinion for the tourney. And I think KDJ (not sure if it was him) used Ike.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Are there any vids yet? And I want Ken to win, and although I doubt it I hope he goes all Marth. What time are the finals?

 

[Minato]

The finals start at three, Nevada time. Maybe I should've brought a camera or something. I've only seen 3 matches by Ken yesterday, but he was using Marth.

 

[Pr0phetic]

not that im doubting Ken, but prior knowledge from melee + smash balls can help when a few easy stocks.

 

[GenesisJLS]

If Ken wins Evo, will that make him World Champion?

 

[NJzFinest]

Ken uses Ganon too

 

[Retroking2000]

sorry for me for sounding noob but how did ken get world champion .

he has won tourneys in US , Japan , Australia (comrades 2 i think ) , he hasnt come to europe

LOL i know this is going to start up something .

but wouldnt that make him a extremely good pro , not a world champion

i know this is going to start something up

haha

IMO the big smash scenes are in europe , japan , US , so if he dominated all three he would be world champion

also i dont think i have known when ken said he is world champion .

just King of Smash which is 100% agree that title is worthy , keep representing marth ken

, or ken just dont care about names

well everybody knows europe sucks anyways haha

oh crap i think i just started something ,

 

[Blistering Speed]

Starting stuff

Stop that. Cmon, stop it.

 

[NJzFinest]

There was much discussion about that in a very old thread called "Helios comes to America", or something of the sort. It was a thread where Helios posted the numerous spots in the USA he was going to attend for smash.

Some how, a discussion of Ken vs Ek arised, then it turned into USA vs Europe. Basically, top players from USA trash talking the top players from Europe, and vice versa. Thing is, USA really doesn't have any respect for European smash players. This is mainly because of they have done poorly in proving their skills and rarely travel.

In short, people never really cared about Europe, and barely even Japan. So being one of the best in the USA is considered being one of the best in the world to many. Despite how arrogant this it sounds, it can actually be considered quite true.

I'm not anti-Europe or anything by the way.

 

[Retroking2000]

LOL dunno what to say ,

verbal ****

 

[Blistering Speed]

KEN VIDS ARE UP!

Ken vs SK92 !!!11

SK92 is either the best or the second best Falco in the world at the moment, alongside Sethlon, for those who don't know.

It's official, Ken still *****

 

[Ulevo]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

The bottom line is, and something people tend to forget, Ken is intelligent. Whether or not he can win Brawls Evo tourney is questionable, and I'm sure the majority of us have our doubts. But people tend to believe that because Ken was Melee King, and he has literally dropped from the scene since Melee's peak, that he won't compete very well (let alone in an item frenzy). This is false thought process. This is the smart players game. There is a reason why players such as Azen and M2K are still at top.

 

[victra♥]

lol. Then there's Canada.

 

[Anth0ny]

He definately plays very intelligent. The vids show that he's still a great player, but I'd love to see him compete at some real tournaments, like Critical Hit 4 or something.

Sorry, items on does not equal real tournament.

Because you say so?

I agree. If he wins Evo, credit can't be stripped from him. A win is a win, and I doubt it's pure coincidence. However, seeing him compete in real hardcore matches versus top players in other regions would be something I would enjoy.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Because you say so?

Yes. Stop being nitpicky, whilst I stated it factually, I think it's obvious that that's my opinion and should be taken as such.

Besides, who else other then Sethlon has been as successful as SK92?

 

[Retroking2000]

anybody seriously LOL'd from the screams in the match

 

[GenesisJLS]

anybody seriously LOL'd from the screams in the match

Yeah, I did as well. I bet they are his crew. OHHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHH

 

[Deleted member]

...............

 

[Harbinger631]

He KO'd SK92 in 14 seconds w/ no items. Ken has almost perfect spacing and timing.

Chillindude?

 

[∫unk]

stfu about falco

and ken is very good, but not revolutionary. still very very good. mindgames are best i've seen. needs to learn some of the defensive options like getting out of the falco cg with up b, but very impressive so far.

*adds to list of legitimate marth players*

 

[En.Ee.Oh]

that was possibly the worst DI of an f-air i've ever seen from anyone, top players don't make mistakes like that



but yeah ken is/will be a good marth obviously
