I saw Larry 2-1 Wadi when I was tuned in too. Wadi threw away the set by going ROb against Larry game 3. Like...what?

I didn't watch the set but neither Mewtwo nor ROB does particularly well against Fox. I'd personally say Mewtwo's the better choice but hey, I'm not the one who's played Larry and just beaten Zinoto and Esam.

So I am back from Shine. Below is my run in a spoiler for the curious.

Spoiler: Bracket run

Game7a1 2-0 Plyr3 (I let him go to FD as Sheik. Whoops.)
Game7a1 2-0 McLoud
Game7a1 0-2 Marss
Game7a1 2-0 Tarn (Funny enough, I eliminated him in round 2 pools in Shine 2016. Also a streamed match.)
Game7a1 1-2 Redeemer Z (First game 3 of the day for me. Don't know why the bracket uses the check mark instead of the game count.)
Placing: 97th

I saw a lot (more than I expected) of NE and MA PR players get upsetted in round 1 pools (such as Ntarps, DM888, Tsage, and Chavo), so of which didn't go to round 2. If you need me to list them, I can. A bit in a rush right now.

So you were the guy that kept taunting his opponent on stream lol... you almost fell to the taunt to get bodied combo I was rooting for it not gonna lie lmao

[Lord Dio]

[Finh009]

Wait...

Nairo plays Diddy?

 

[NotLiquid]

People talking Bayo saturation when two of the best players start pocketing Diddy? Rly makes u think

 

[Illuminose]

man, this is a disappointing top 8 so far...sucks to see most of the players not playing well. the top 8 is filled with star players, but the level of play is not reflecting that.

 

[NotLiquid]

Leo bringing out Bayonetta

... now Toon Link

What even are the top pros doing this tournament

 

[Wintermelon43]

Just went on to see that Nairo and Ally have a Diddy Kong, MKLeo has a Bayonetta, and Tweek 3-0ed MKLeo with DK and also 3-0ed Salem and is about to 3-0 Nairo. What the heck?

I think that game confirmed that he doesn't have a bayonetta. Be could barely combo dk.

Wait...

Nairo plays Diddy?

He plays with Diddy a lot on stream. In his most recent stream he played Wi-Fi matches against Zero's ZSS.

 

[Stiga]

I can't see cause I'm at school, what on earth happened at Shine?

Everyone suddenly got amnesia and completatly forgot what their mains were, so they all just picked a bunch of random characters and hoped they would win.

Because he does well against Bayo. Even Sceptile with HP Ice was used in a metagame where Gliscor, Tyranitar, and Vaporeon was the most most popular core in early Gen 4 OU. Or Hariyama in the beginning of Genesect's reign in Gen 5. Doesn't mean the counter is oversaturated.

 

[Heracr055]

Yay, Pokemon metagame references! (I really miss the Gen 4 and 5 metas)

And there's absolutely no problem with top players picking up Diddy to counter Bayos, whose players have really been causing upsets as of late.
