Shaky is probably not going to CEO so you can cross him off for Ness

Nairo arguably has the 'easiest' route to WS, but he has to beat Zinoto and Larry Lurr to get there.
That actually sounds like the hardest route in my book. Larry has been in incredible shape the whole last month and Diddy is ZSS' worst matchup. Both Larry and Zinoto are probably going to be monstrosities for Nairo to overcome.

I'd disagree. Anything that includes Dabuz playing a MK is the hardest thing to do.
I hope he's been training a decent pocket or something, because I don't think anyone's heart can bear watching MK Rosa.

IDK why Mang0's Twitter tweet is becoming a meme. Like Omni said, that's messed up if his Mom died or something or even issues with his girlfriend/son.

I wanted to do it last week for Apex/LTC but I was tired/dead/out during prime time hours to go through and move relevant posts / have enough time before the events ended to discuss.

But as I've said frequently, that thread kinda covers everything, but it needn't cover everything, especially when there's enough of it's while other solid conversations (the thread's "true purpose") are happening concurrently.

So I decided to check the CEO Bracket and make a prediction for top 64 of CEO 2016. It's listed in the spoiler below

1st:ZeRo (:4diddy:)

2nd:Larry Lurr (:4fox::4mario:, possibly :4dk:) Double eliminated by ZeRo (However, Larry beat ZeRo last time they played each other, so it's possible Larry will beat him)

3rd:Abadango (:4mewtwo::4metaknight:) Double eliminated by Larry Lurr

4th:Dabuz (:rosalina:) Double Eliminated by Abadango

5th:Trela (:4ryu:) Eliminated by ZeRo and Dabuz

7th:Mew2King (:4cloud:) Eliminated by Abadango and Mr. R

9th:Ally (:4mario:) Eliminated by Trela and Nairo (If Ally beats Trela, however, I think he'll be set to win the entire tournament. He'll probably beat Mr. R ZeRo, and Larry Lurr, so how he does aganist Trela will probably decide his entire tournament)

9th:Zinoto (:4diddy:) Eliminated by Nairo and Mr. R

Random predictions: Zero will drop at least 10 games
Our view of a matchup will be changed. (E.g rosa vs MK)
No new characters will break out at CEO that haven't been established as tournament threats.

Zinoto > nairo + Larry lurr
Wrath beats vinnie in pools
The tournament will be exciting.

Everyone says Diddy beats Palutena solidly but clearly that didn't happen. It seems like Palutena Bair covers the air very well. Why do people say this?

(Not making an inference based on one set, just curious)

It was mostly from watching Denti demolish AeroLink even when customs were a thing. ZeRo obviously didn't know how to deal with the character, but it could be better than old results imply. I'm not sure anymore.

I wonder if Zero ever got fully patched back to full power after being nerfed with less motor skill effectiveness in his hand back in patch 5.16 ish.

Or if people are just adapting to him.

Zinoto hardly has any top ZSS experience. None of Michigan's ZSSs are relevant and he's dropped sets to V115 and Ned. Understandably, that was before the patch, but that kind of is telling of his matchup knowledge. Nairo has loads of Diddy experience on the flip side and demonstrated huge adaptations in dealing with the matchup when he played Zero at LTC4 before he melted down completely mentally. Hardly a slam dunk for Nairo because Zinoto is also ridiculously good, but I'm adding a little more perspective to the potential matchup.
