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

[Man Li Gi]

Zelder, I know you mean top 32 Bo3, but we all have to admit, each EVO has been something for Smash man. Customs, Items, the stages, Bo3 WF/LF. I swear, EVO 2007 was the only good year for Smash and that was for Melee only.

I swear the EVO staff wants to purposely weaken and split the Smash community more than we already are.

Vinnie 2-1 Mr. E

 

[warionumbah2]

Well, just tuned in, here to say it's a great day to be an MK main. 2 MK's went all MK throughout and got top 32, another going as far as top 16

Ito got 17th .

 

[Das Koopa]

Ranai vs. Abadango

In a stunning plot twist, it turns out the EVO is headed by the man who made Playstation All Stars. His soul still burns for revenge.

Day 2-1 Xaltis

 

[Jexulus]

Alright, Abadango vs. Ranai. I naturally favor Abadango, but good luck to the both of them, and may the best man win.

Just one more match until Mewtwo makes top 8 at EVO. Exhilarating.

EDIT: And the first stocks go in blazes of glory. Dis gunna be gud.

 

[Das Koopa]

Ranai and Aba 1-1

 

[TDK]

Abadango 2-1 Ranai

 

[BlazGreen]

What a butt clenching set. Great stuff from both players.

 

[Jexulus]

And Abadango takes it! This is easily my set of the tournament, given the sheer swagger both players exuded. The sheer variety of ways stocks were taken was breathtaking.

 

[420quickscoper]

Ally 2-0s Dabuz

 

[Das Koopa]

Ally 2-0 Dabuz

 

[Rawbinator]

Wow nice Ally -- all previous times I remember he's really struggled vs Dabuz

but it feels wrong that was Bo2 -_-

 

[ShadowGuy1]

I think Dabuz can get the run back. He was playing odd that set, but great job to Ally!

 

[BlazGreen]

Earth vs Kamemushi coming up.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Upsets or not, I can't help but feel the energy of this years EVO is lacking. Can't quite put my finger on it but I think I might possibly know why?

EVO last year had the big stage available at the start of the stream, a huge crowd to see and feel the hype, and a lot more matches played. Even with customs being legal everything felt a bit more lively.

This year feels a bit slower and not as hype, maybe cause EVO is kinda shafting Smash 4 this year for some reason?
Not being some entitled viewer like this day and age is (viewers > players lol), feel like even if I was there the energy would be an all time low still.

That aside, the upsets so far is ok I guess but I'm mostly rooting for TX's own firelord Trela to get top 6.

 

[TurboLink]

LOL. With the amount of effort it takes for Mega Man to kill it's laughable that some people thought he was top-tier.

 

[Man Li Gi]

2-1 Kamemushi over Earth

 

[[BROF]]

Kamemushi moves on over Earth 2-1

 

[BlazGreen]

The Japanese are so fun to watch.

 

[Jexulus]

You say that, but with Kame's victory, a Mega Man is in Top 8 at EVO. Doesn't seem like as big a problem as you're making it out to be.

Sheik wants to talk to you fam

 

[ReroRero]

losers brackets are slow to restart :/

 

[Nidtendofreak]

@Thinkaman rather late but you were asking about a handful of characters including Ike?

I'm only aware of one Ike that went to Evo (SM). I suspect that maybe Ryo went as well because Sol did but I have no clue how well he did. I just know SM had to go up against Hyuga in the last bit of pools.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Sheik wants to talk to you fam

This. I'd argue that Megaman has more reliable kill moves while Sheik has more potential kill set ups. Pro Shiek players just make them look easy because they can pull them off consistently.

 

[Das Koopa]

VoiD ends Vinnie's career

maybe literally

 

[Ninety]

VoiD tapdancing on Vinnie's skull, damn.

 

[[BROF]]

Funny thought. How Kamemushi has "turtle" on his name but he's rather aggro instead of turtly

 

[Das Koopa]

Trela 2-1 Mr. R

17th, EVO 2016:

Komorikiri
Dyr
Ito
Pugwest
Rich Brown
Regi
Mr. R
Xaltis

 

[-Tornado-]

Trela beat Mr.R
The Dream
IT'S STILL ALIVE

 

[Man Li Gi]

Trela beat Mr. R offstream. This big matches should've been on stream.

 

[BunbUn129]

And Marss 2-0's Mr. E.

 

[JustSomeScrub]

Trela just beat Mr. R 2-1.

It went exactly as how you'd expect. Sheik won neutral over and over, couldn't close it out and then proceeded to die at 70.

 

[[BROF]]

Mr.E getting that far with is impressive. Is it safe to say that Marss was probably the worst opponent he could end up facing because of MU mastery?

 

[Djent]

Mr. R down in 17th? Guess Trela was too much. RIP consistency

 

[Nu~]

Day in top 16. Amazing



Who does he fight next?

 

[Wintermelon43]

Trela.

 

[Jexulus]

Congrats to everyone who made 17th; y'all have accomplished a great deal this day.

Who did in Rich Brown, btw?

Sheik wants to talk to you fam

Sheik has excellent frame data that allows her to play close-range, a projectile that allows her to play the mid-range/long-range, and a much better disadvantage that allows her to get away with having such horrid raw KO power.
