Official Summer of Smash: Part X

[ARGHETH]

In other news, Clutch City Clash (241 entrants) is going on right now, with Ally, Abadango, M2K, 6wx, Fatality, Scatt, Megafox, Reflex, and LordMix.

Scatt lost to someone called BC, apparently.
NikeRaptor > Kamicario
Gnes > Espy
Brawlman1000 > Reflex

Really looking forward to LordMix actually, his Bowser hasn't really gotten the chance to shine against the bigger names.

I do think Bowser has a bit of potential, personally . Here is hoping LordMix proves it.

Also, is there a stream link, by any chance?

 

[Piipp]

It should also be noted that BrawlMan1000, the Sonic who beat M2K at CEO, is there along with Samsora, #1 Ranked in Louisiana.

There's this, but it's on doubles right now.

He's actually projected to fight M2K winner's round 1 if he can beat Reflex.

Rebirth is also live (approaching it's finish I think): https://www.twitch.tv/gooshigaming

https://www.twitch.tv/doghouseesports is also live for a little while long - it's currently half way through loser's finals MVD vs Josh/Wormy Nugget.

Forgive me for being out of the loop, but why aren't Trela & The Wall there?
I would've expected them at a Texan tourney.

Trela and The Wall isn't attending because of the The Wall-Xyro fiasco

Illlusion and P2P are reppin' the frog. Illusion is in top 48 winners side. Should be fighting Lord Mix.

I'm probably wrong on this but isn't there a Villager player that goes by the tag BC? Is that who beat Scatt

 

[Yonder]

LordMix and his partner (sorry can't remember name) in GFs vs M2K and Ally coming up soon.

Bowser and his weight makes such, such a huge difference in these matches combined with rage. He is regularly making it over 150% and it leads to massive comebacks (including a 2v1 comeback as Bowser vs Fox and Mario). Of course, Bowser's horrible landing options also show as he gets juggled hardcore. I think he is a very well balanced character in this game instead of being trash like previously.

Exciting stuff to watch as an inspired Bowser...err...secondary i guess.

Yeah, that's him.

 

[Kofu]

Yeah, that's him.

This is fairly interesting to me because a lot of Villager players feel that Mega Man is one of his hardest matchups.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the matchup personally but I know that Villager can't play his normal game against Mega Man, he'll get destroyed.

Samsora 2-0 Ally. Wow.

 

[EternalFlare]

Ally lost to Samsora earlier at CCC, a Peach player in R1 of winners. It seems a 3 stock format doesn't prevent big upsets. Edit: He qualifies for top 8 from losers.

Samsora 2-0 Ally. Wow.

Not surprising. Peach (assuming Samsora used her) has a pretty good match-up against Mario. Both Ally, Anti, and Zenyou seem to struggle with this match-up. It isn't a hard loss or anything but Peach might actually have an advantage in this match-up based off of what i've seen at top level

 

[ARGHETH]

Samsora, Trevonte, and CaptainZack are 3/4 of winner's semis in a tournament featuring M2K, Ally, Scatt, and 6WX lol.

 

[L9999]

If you have bad range adapting to Peach is super tough. Specially campy Peach...

Lowers =/= Removes

 

[EternalFlare]

Lowers =/= Removes

M2K is now in losers as well. That's not to say they aren't losing to great players but definitely players ranked no doubt far below them. Anyway, 3 stocks might lower the chance but I think Smash 4's inconsistency isn't just about 2 stock formats.

Things like rage, lack of technical barriers and much more viable characters than other official Smash games are probably bigger culprits.

Rage and more viable characters/better balance is self-explanatory.

Technical barriers would be things like advanced movement techs (Smash 4 has a few but they are limited and rarely used) and SDI (top players in previous games would get out of so much that would be guaranteed on lower level players, SDI seems much more limited in S4 by comparison).

 

[Das Koopa]

My first match in Road to Shine is against the MD/VA Pac-Man Zage.

welp

Edit: lol i got destroyed

I'll upload game 2 later, dude's a great player

He's listed as a Rosalina player on the CCC bracket.

 

[ARGHETH]

He's listed as a Rosalina player on the CCC bracket.

He was playing Peach against DJ Fliphop, at least.

Also, Trevonte beat M2K.

 

[ARISTOS]

What was super impressive was Samsora beating DJ Fliphop at the beginning of Winners top 48.

Diddy's keep getting caught by Parasol

 

[ARISTOS]

He's listed as a Rosalina player on the CCC bracket.

Think he plays both.

Which brings into question why he didn't just use Rosa to beat DJ Fliphop

EDIT: He's playing vs Aba's

3-1, Uair chains too strong

 

[sedrf]

peach vs mk is impossible.
mk vs floaties in general is

 

[ARISTOS]

Up air chains are awful

Is he going full MK or is this just a switch up?

 

[ARISTOS]

Pretty sure it was just for that MU

 

[ARGHETH]

Is he going full MK or is this just a switch up?

Just for Samsora, I think. He beat Trevonte with Mewtwo.

Regarding that last Match. That looked like the pre-patch Ladder instead of the following DI/Switching sides version that MK Leo did a lot of at SF5. Was Samsora not applying proper SDI? I wouldn't be surprised if this was case since most Smash 4 don't really bother with SDI.

 

[Ffamran]

Wait a minute... Wasn't Clutch City Clash redirected to this thread: smashboards.com/threads/summer-of-smash-part-x.440224/? Also, it doesn't help that the same discussions are happening in both threads... Have to look back at the thread title to make sure I didn't open one thread twice.

[~ Gheb ~]

Abadango probably anticipated a Rosalina pick from Samsora and then just rolled with it when MK turned out to be working.

im pretty sure the up air chains still work on floaties hence peach and rosa having awful MU with MK.

That makes sense. Though I wonder if with **** SDI you could get out. Such a technique is rarely used even in melee though.
