Official Summer of Smash: Week #7 - EVO 2016 and Co.

[TDK]

Those awful star fox zero commercials broke EVO...

 

[dakotaisgreat]

Unrelated but since the stream is down, did Ally ever clarify what he said about there being a patch tomorrow? The complete and utter lack of Roy at EVO angers me.

 

[Djent]

EVERYONE GO HERE: https://www.twitch.tv/daigothebeastv (Japanese stream)

 

[-Tornado-]

I don't know about you guys
But I'm actually missing sub only chat right now

 

[hypersonicJD]

Me too. I'll just deactivate the chat

 

[TDK]

I'd Deactivate the chat if Chrome would load the page for long enough before crashing due to the chat.

EDIT: There we go.

 

[hypersonicJD]

WE BACK: Evo main stream is up again

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Gheb.

I think Sheik, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Mewtwo and either Fox or Sonic are the top 5 in the game. Mario's close behind though.

Kame has done impressive things with Cloud, but it is undoubtedly still a secondary. Also, how telling is it that two MM players have Clouds but they don't do much? I think this is more evidence for ~ Gheb ~ 's theory that Cloud isn't always a great secondary.

I mean why would a character that gets hard-countered by the best character in the game be the universal go-to pick as a secondary? This shouldn't surprise people!

 

[Man Li Gi]

Main stream back up!

You got a funny definition of "hard counter".

 

[~ Gheb ~]

You got a funny definition of "hard counter".

Dude, have you even seen the record between Sheik and Cloud? It's like 6-0 or something in her favor. It's pretty awful.

Yo really? I believe you but I'd like to see the data. I know I made a huge post on why Sheik beats Cloud at the basic level (it was giant and long and pretty good I think, probs applies here) but whoa. I'd like to see this, actually!

I mean it validates Mewtwo/Cloud as a combo even more, for sure....

 

[Djent]

Cloud hasn't beaten top-level Sheik since like, month 1 IIRC.

 

[-Tornado-]

Off-topic, but when was the last time ZeRo used Shiek?

 

[TTTTTsd]

Cloud hasn't beaten top-level Sheik since like, month 1 IIRC.

No I mean like notable player matchups and whatnot. I know there was a period of time where Komo dominated with Cloud for a bit but I was under the assumption that he was talking about post-nerf Cloud and not pre-nerf Cloud. I might be wrong tho. But if the record's just like, 6-0 then I was under the assumption that it was recent. Recent life circumstances prevented me from keeping up with EVERYTHING so I'm asking mostly to scan what I missed.

 

[TDK]

Off-topic, but when was the last time ZeRo used Shiek?

Whenever his loss to ANTi was.

 

[Das Koopa]

Kamemushi takes a game of ZeRo, first to do so today

 

[Rizen]

Mega Man takes game 1 wow. SSB4 balance and comeback factors are great
Edit, what is the MM vs Diddy MU ratio?

 

[TDK]

Whenever his loss to ANTi was.

Never mind.

 

[-Tornado-]

Never mind
I just ate my words

 

[Zelder]

I think Zero should debate retiring his Sheik, she's a liability at top level play (right now).

 

[hypersonicJD]

YO: ZERO IS GETTING DESTROYED. WHAT IS HAPPENING!?

 

[TDK]

Back to diddy.

I want ZeRo to bring out Shulk so badly.

 

[Rizen]

Is ZeRo losing his edge after his absence or are other players improving (or both)?

 

[ARISTOS]

Watching Kame rn

 

[hypersonicJD]

NO: THIS DIDNT HAPPEN.

KAMEMUSHI 3 -0'S ZERO

 

[BunbUn129]

Kame 3-0's ZeRo.

 

[-Tornado-]

Mega Man
The Super Fighting Robot
Mega Man
Fighting to save t h e w o r l d

 

[Rizen]

...aaaand Mega Man won. Hype match!

 

[Das Koopa]

[nervousness intensifies]

 

[TDK]

Kamemushi 3-0 ZeRo

Get your squash ready Das Koopa

 

[Zelder]

I don't know enough about the Diddy vs Mega Man matchup to say anything decisively, but I imagine that a pro Mega Man player's item knowledge is an invaluable asset in that matchup.

 

[Ninety]

And Kame over ZeRo 3-0. Goddammit.

 

[Nobie]

If you ever wondered why people say Mega Man has a good Diddy match-up, this was a master class.

 

[soniczx123]

So Megaman top 10? Lol

 

[BunbUn129]

So Mega Man is in Grand Finals of the biggest Smash 4 tourney yet.

Mega Man will take it, I'm calling it, and I will gladly eat my controller's cable like it's spaghetti.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Can we at least agree Mega Man is at very least top 20? No? Ok....

 

[TDK]

Do I hear a Yoshi?

 

[TTTTTsd]

If you ever wondered why people say Mega Man has a good Diddy match-up, this was a master class.

Indeed. Kamemushi really showed off some fine play! (I am so so sorry)

Grand Finals lookin pretty hype on a more serious note. Let's see if Mario can win EVO.

 

[Rizen]

Now Yoshi v Mario. Yoshi wants revenge for being used as a step stool in SMario World.
