Small update but TLTC:4palutena:is unable to make it. Just means ConCons path to Zero in pools is pretty much free.

Mr. R also unfortunately dropped out due to sickness. This does mean we might see a Villager ditto between Aarvark and Ranai tho

As much as I hate to be a pessimist, Concon hasnt made any big wins in a while so even if he did make it to Zero...wouldn't be pretty.

Funny part is someone else in ConCon's path forfeited so he just has to win one battle to make it to winners semis of the pool XD

First Upset I could find - Smuff (?) 2-1 Vash:4littlemac:

EDIT: Tyrant is DQ'd from winners

Tyrant DQ'd in winner's and loser's. Seems like he dropped out. Lazyboredom may have a chance to make it out of pools since Tyrant is not in the way.

Stroder :4greninja:2-1 Razo:4peach:(Upset According to Seeding)


Lazybordom is the first Mac to make it to Winners Semis of their pool (helped by the fact Tyrant DQ'd)

EDIT: KEN makes it out in winners side of his pool

EDIT 2: Kameme takes it over Cosmos

:4mewtwo: :4mewtwo:
:4dk: :4dk:
:4lucario:
:4megaman:
:4ness:
:4pikachu:
:4corrinf:
Total number of unique characters: 18


Some things:
- ZeRo vs Raito. I asked for this yesterday, and although Brood got extremely lucky vs ZeRo, I can't help but wonder how a better Duck Hunt would do.
- Two macs in top 32, both in losers. Alphicans got 33rd and WonderBread got 49th, but the other Macs failed to make top 64. Pretty underwhelming showing all things considered.
- Vinnie vs Falln with the loser getting 25th is certainly something.
- AEMehr :4miigun: placed 33rd, with solo gunner.

I think top 32 is tomorrow, though.

@Das Koopa are you using full top 32 for this or just top 16?

Fox is having a great showing this tournament! So many of them in top 32 is so weird to see.

Great job there, AEMehr AEMehr

Also, yes, the Bayo-Fox MU is one where Bayo can't just play around his shield and take high-movement options, they usually induce Landing Lag and Fox can react to whatever option you take and punish with his great burst range.

Charlie indeed made Fox look really good against Bayo's landing options, and Raito made it seem like Duck Hunt has a really good matchup against deficiency of character.

Thanks amigo.

Ah, additionally. It seems there was an error in the bracket listings.

I beat Wonderbread 2-0. It was Kwaz who I went 2-1 against.

Bayo-Fox is looking really suspect recently.
Bayo mains have said t
It's closer than people think for a while. Batwithin is worthless and bayo van be suffocated under foxes frame data. If fox doesn't get fair stringed the mu is close

Since Sol, a Little Mac main, won the ARMS tournament, does that count as breaking the curse? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wow just when Locus seemed to have Dabuz gets the reverse 3-0 to take the set. . Locus was shook for sure game 5. But man he did well in what is a pretty terrible MU for Ryu

FYI rage Rosa up-airs are jank AF

You can say the Fox MU may be looking somewhat suspect for Bayo. But Luigi has been looking much better for her as well
I predicted it would be the case one Bayo mains learned to play the MU better
