Nietono has close games in Diddy mirrors versus Angel while 2 stocking him with his pocket Cloud.

What a well designed character...

Nietono has had a cloud since at least G3

 

[Fenny]

All 3 of the Japanese players thought it would be a single elim fun tourney with no prize money. They are very tired and were shocked when they heard they had to play in losers. Not joking. Straight off of their twitters

How the hell do you make that kind of mistake?

 

[sedrf]

diddy dittos are stupid

 

[juddy96]

Language barrier. And Japan's smash culture is completely different. Regardless, someone must've told Nietono before he bustered out like the other 2 that there was $388 to be won.

Wow, Rest In Prizemoney to them I guess

Speaking of Xanadu, doesn't look like PF has been having the greatest luck as of late, which is kind of upsetting to see.

 

[TDK]

I'm pretty sure in Japan anything less than a regional doesn't exist.

 

[blackghost]

japan is different they are olaying for fun mostly in a semi compeitove environment. regionals and nationals are where real comoeition is.
combine that with great internet and a smaller country for travel and players are more familiar with each other leading to upsets that seem surprising to us maybe when they shouldnt. its hard to reamin the top player for long when so mangplayers have recently had a chance to get familiar lately.
and i believe someone in the thread covered it but double elimination isnt very common there. outside of street fighter it isnt a common way to do tournaments.
smash is among the global games in the world not every culture is like na or europe. its ridiculous to act like it is. (heck in the middle east customs are used in serious competition.)

[Das Koopa]

Sucks that Cosmos can't attend. He really did well with Corrin at LTC4.

Maybe he can be in the argument for best Corrin if he does it again sometime this summer.

 

[Peppermint1201]

Anti re-confirmed for CEO attendance https://twitter.com/Anti/status/745709726713905152.

Also, I hope EKing makes it out of pools. He is the best player in Puerto Rico iirc. I always like to see people repping obscure regions do well, there's a lot of pride riding on them

 

[C0rvus]

1st and 3rd seed in CaptainZack's pool are Diddy players. RIP.

 

[Yikarur]

why does Ringo have a better seeding than Waldo? Waldo is clearly the better player.

 

[Das Koopa]

HIKARU must solidify ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) his status as best Donkey Kong worldwide. Pls.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I wanna say CEO seeding looks a bit fraudulent but given the inconsistencies we keep seeing it probably won't be a big deal in the end. I just don't really see why MVD or Umeki are seeded higher than Reflex or Joe.

 

[HoSmash4]

CEO is looking... very strong to say the least.

 

[Illusion.]

Did Cosmos ever give a reason for not going to CEO anymore?

 

[TimidKitsune129]

Did Cosmos ever give a reason for not going to CEO anymore?

He said it on his Twitter:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

He later said that he will try to go to Super Smash Con though.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Insanely hyped to see Kirihara and KEN in the US. Both could go really far at EVO and I'm excited to see it. With Komo, 6WX, Wrath, StaticManny, SuperGirlKels, Seagull Joe, and now KEN (#2 Sonic in the world) going to EVO, I think that EVO will be a real test of Sonic. There's no excuses of representation here with Komo back to Sonic most of the time and all of his other heavy-hitting players in attendance.

Hope the EVO attendees all have a pocket Ike or Cloud with that many Sonics showing up.

Would say pocket ZSS but I don't think that's the type of character you normally pocket.

 

[TDK]

It's a shame for the sonics that Cloud is an easy character to pocket.

We should work on a compilation of all the notable players of each character in attendance:

Spoiler: Notable Sonics at EVO

Komirikiri
KEN
6WX
SuperGirlKels
Wrath
Seagull Joe
StaticManny (or whatever he calls himself now)

something like this, for example.

 

[juddy96]

why does Ringo have a better seeding than Waldo? Waldo is clearly the better player.

Tier 8 players (65th-128th) were randomized so you get any 2 of those players in 1 pool, they are both in tier 8. A lot of the inconsistencies in these pools were due to late dropouts, scheduling (people in multiple events), and regional conflicts. Until I helped with the seeding for CEO I had no clue how many things you have to juggle

No Kid Goggles?

He's attending EVO?

 

[Shady Shaymin]

I'm so excited for CEO. Since summer technically didn't start until yesterday, it's safe to call this event the real beginning of the "summer of smash". So many top players, so much hype...I almost can't contain it all.

 

[Peppermint1201]

Fun Fact: JaK, the 4th seed in his pool, a Florida Diddy main, is the best Mario Kart 8 time trialer to walk the earth, boasting many world records and top 10 times on every course in the game.

Fun Fact 2: This list would've been easier to compile if you could CTRL-F Smashboards' character icons.

Zantoma and Xmas is also seeded in their pools for shulk

Missing Purple Guy for Zelda (3rd seed in his pool), Keitaro for Falco (3rd seed in his pool) and Techei for Greninja (4th seed in his pool). All Might could probably get a mention for Roy too. Good stuff though, thanks.

 

[Joey T.]

Is Zero still the best candidate to win CEO or are there any particularly strong players right now that might take that spot?

 

[FeelMeUp]

People have been highly overrating the guy and talking too highly of his character's positives but I'm genuinely believing Trela has a strong chance of making a good run at CEO. I could see him making top 4 without issue unless he plays ZeRo/Dabuz/Japan early.
Smash 4's top players overall are too aggressive to do extremely well against Ryu.

Edit: Nvm, confused CEO and EVO

 

[Wintermelon43]

He's projected to play Ally in winners semis, so it isn't really definite he will win.

 

[verbatim]

Ally has to beat Trela and Mr. R who he's more or less even with post patch to get there. I would say that his spot in WS is pretty volatile.

Addendum: zero has to beat Tweek then Ally to get there, and Dabuz has to play Abadango r3. Nairo arguably has the 'easiest' route to WS, but he has to beat Zinoto and Larry Lurr to get there.

 

[FeelMeUp]

I don't see Ally beating Trela.
