some random thoughts on upcoming tournaments (discuss)

[hectohertz]

is armada (and the rest of the europeans) going to G3 / EVO ?

can mango learn that 'a jedi must have patience', and not to rush to the ledge? i was impressed by his self control to get on that lazer j-man style during him vs hbox, but he seemed to have lost it vs m2k

will pp continue to go marth against armada? can he win it next time? can m2k teach him the way of the marth?

does hbox have a shot beating armada's YL with his ness? his ness is no scrub, but it seemed to lack a lot of the tricksies i've seen PC Christ and Mofo do. Does hbox need to train with either of them to learn yo-yo glitches, pk-fire, crazy djc's, and other weird ness shiz? also is using pk-thunder as an edguard legit? it didn't really seem to work out ever, i don't recall seeing mofo/pc do it.

if m2k/armada are gonna keep teaming, is another double-top player team gonna step it up? because right now its not even close. mango/doh, pp/lozr, hbox/plup are all probably around the same strength, but they're not even in the same league as m2k/armada. i'd like to see a team of some combination of mango/hbox/pp. or if more wordly players are willing to team with mericans, i think any combination of mango/hbox/pp/leffen/ice/unknown/kk/javi might be able to make a dent.

IIRC Apex 2012's teams Grand Finals between Plup/Hbox and Arm/MK was close. This year it didn't seem as close though. I think Shroomed/PPU could have gone further.

Mango and PP teamed together once, and it was pleasant to see.

I have no clue why hbox didnt just pick up sheik instead of ness

That's just because the right combination hasn't been found yet or those top players don't try to team each other since mostly everybody get a new teammate every tournament. If I would team with Mango for example I think we can take them. But now it's just speculation since m2k/armada will likely not happen again.

armada is retiring. all bets are off

 

[Wretched]

Mang0/Hbox would be the most ridiculous team possible.

Mango Hbox team is like Goku and Vegeta. They need to put aside their differences to overcome any obstacle. Except Mango would feel insulted to call Hbox a super saiyan.

Maybe more like Buu and Cell? I still enjoy making DBZ analogies in smash.
