Official Summer of Smash: Week #4 - CEO, Karisuma 8, Xanadu

[TDK]

Rest in Peace PAC-MAN. You did well.

 

[Das Koopa]

Zinoto top 3 at a supermajor

pretty safe to say he's top 15, a lot of people are surprised he's this far and idk why, he has an extremely strong tourney record

 

[Nu~]

Man his pacman is rusty smh

Good stuff to him anyways

 

[Davis-Lightheart]

I think the stage was a bad choice. Zinoto just had more space to maneuver and Abadango had few ways to block off Diddy.

 

[Das Koopa]

Dabeard going straight to Olimar.

 

[Jexulus]

Whoo! Abagando got top 4! I'm happy with how he did. Job well done in my book.

 

[Aaron1997]

Man his pacman is rusty smh

Good stuff to him anyways

Imagine if Aba still played Pac full time and had Tea's tech skill lol

 

[Vycoul]

Pac-Man feels like the Pichu of Smash 4. lol Half the stuff he throws out ends up being used against him. Also, that whiffed up smash was just heartbreaking.
Still, great to see Aba get so far. Love watching that guy play.

I mean sure,
if you're careless with it


This man charged in Zinoto's face *facepalm* he clearly is out of practice with him. And the first hit didn't connect because stun ignores weak hitboxes.

 

[Wintermelon43]

Zinoto vs Anti GFs.

 

[ARGHETH]

Zinoto:
Nairo, Larry, Hyuga, Abadango, and now Dabuz. Wow.

 

[Ninety]

Man, Monkey Flip is an insanely good move. And we get Anti vs Zinoto GFs! Hope we see some counterpicks from Anti, I don't think I could take five sets of fishing for usmash.

 

[TDK]

Dabuz at third. This only ever happens when ZeRo and Nairo are both in top 8.

What. Just. Happened.

 

[Das Koopa]

Can't say I would've called Zinoto vs. ANTi GFs. Lol.

 

[TDK]

I hope ANTi wins this. Diddy bores me and I don't want to see two sets.

 

[Solfiner]

Zinoto showing that he's the OG Diddy main. Didn't expect him to get this far, let alone GFs.


Also this Ally tweet got me good:

Noo if Anti wins Mario is def top 5. Cant use that as an excuse anymore

[Fenny]

you know, for all this craziness...the characters in GFs aren't all that different rofl

 

[Minordeth]

Mario's lack of confirms really hurts. But we take them dittoes.

 

[sedrf]

also lol diddy dittos

 

[Wintermelon43]

I hope ANTi wins this. Diddy bores me and I don't want to see two sets.

What do you think now?

 

[-Tornado-]

Diddy dittos?
We've gone full circle.

 

[Fenny]

>Zinoto 3-0's Anti


I'M SWEATING

 

[Minordeth]

I kinda love this. Compare this to the didn't dittos from smash 4s first apex and it's awesome to see how much diddy's meta has expanded.

 

[YerTheBestAROUND]

And we have a cloud now. I don't see this going well for ANTi though- never mind right as I was typing this Diddy got gimped

 

[|RK|]

Lol, now you gotta give Cloud a point Das Koopa

 

[sedrf]

the pocket cloud from anti

 

[Fenny]

Cloud counterpicks OP

 

[-Tornado-]

Hey guys look -
We really did have a Cloud in Top 8
He was just hiding the whole time

 

[sedrf]

if anti keeps playing this well. This could be clouds first major.\

 

[BunbUn129]

Just when we thought we weren't gonna see Cloud lol.

I'm calling it, this is Cloud's first national victory.

Edit: TOLD YA!

 

[Das Koopa]

if anti keeps playing this well. This could be clouds first major.\

not really Cloud major when ANTi used Mario 80% of the tourney lol

[zeldasmash]

[ARGHETH]

Cloud.
Did Nairo really tell him to go Cloud lol

 

[Das Koopa]

my scoring won't include a few of those characters (the ones players used and lost sets with ala Larry's DK), I'll list what I'm adding down after Game of Thrones

 

[Frihetsanka]

not really Cloud major when ANTi used Mario 80% of the tourney lol

Mains Mario, plays Mario for most of the tournament, loses vs Diddy. Switches to Cloud, wins three games in a row. What does that say about Cloud?

Characters in parentheses won games, but AFAIK didn't contribute to bracket advancement.

 

[Fenny]

The age of Genkai Wo Koeru is here

 

[AnEventHorizon]

Many were talking about matchup experience, counterpicking, and secondaries being a constant and necessary presence at top level - and it's arguably the most constant and consistent counterpicker with the widest fighter pool that takes the entire tourney.

As Shaya said:

A man holds onto his Cloud until it truly rains.

 

[Ninety]

If I'm counting right, that's fifteen different characters in top 8. The counterpick meta is real.
