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

[JustSomeScrub]

Megaman guaranteed top 3 at the biggest most stacked Smash 4 tournament ever by far.

Unfortunately I don't see him beating Ally. Kame already lost to Zenyou at a pre-Evo tournament.

 

[Man Li Gi]

No lie, had that post in my back pocket and going to bust it out if he won.

 

[TurboLink]

I think is better than and that the latter isn't top 5. People make too many excuses for Cloud when he clearly struggles in at least one very important matchup. Fox OTOH can do anything.

And doesn't Fox struggle against Sheik? Who is definitely an important character.

 

[Djent]

Unfortunately I don't see him beating Ally. Kame already lost to Zenyou at a pre-Evo tournament.

So did Ally

But yeah, I know you're talking about matchups. Thing is, there's enough variation in playstyle at the top level that this kind of reasoning doesn't work.

And doesn't Fox struggle against Sheik? Who is definitely an important character.

Cloud has it much worse, whereas Fox can win (see: Larry vs. Vinnie).

 

[TDK]

We could still have a cloud in top 8 if ZeRo gets desperate enough.

EDIT: Is the exact opposite of what I predicted going to happen?

 

[TurboLink]

I wish ZeRo would stop letting Larry recover for free and predictably like that. Really makes me cringe.

 

[Ninety]

AND ZERO 2-0s LARRY

 

[TDK]

My Fantasy Bracket is crying right now.

ZeRo 2-0 Larry

 

[ARGHETH]

When's the last time Zero dropped a game? When he got sent to loser's?

 

[killerwaffles05]

wooooooooooooo this top 8 lit

 

[Djent]

I am happy for ZeRo. Even though people root against him, I hate that he loses because he's not in top form. If he doesn't get 1st today, it'll be because his opponents were just flat-out better than him. This is the crucible.

 

[Das Koopa]

now for Ranai to get destroyed FeelsBadMan

 

[Thinkaman]

No lie, had that post in my back pocket and going to bust it out if he won.

You weren't the only one.

 

[TDK]

When's the last time Zero dropped a game? When he got sent to loser's?

I think the last time he dropped a game was against Mr. E.

In other words, this is Rage ZeRo.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Getting ready to bite down on your cyanide tooths, fellow Villager mains...

 

[Das Koopa]

ZeRo 2-0 Hyuga, 2-0 Komorikiri, 2-0 KEN, 2-0 Larry Lurr, his next fight is Abadango, whom he convincingly destroyed the last time they met.

 

[Djent]

now for Ranai to get destroyed FeelsBadMan

You are an antiprediction champion. Got any other raw vegetables to complement that squash?

EDIT: The post below mine is GDLK.

 

[Thinkaman]

Das Koopa, repeat after me, very clearly:

"Trump is definitely going to win in November. There's no way he can lose."

 

[sedrf]

this dabuz vs ranai series.
mah heart.
pls do it ranai

 

[Zelder]

CEO 2016: welcome to the counterpick meta, I hope your roster is deep because the fight is going to start at the character select screen
EVO 2016: wait scratch that lol

 

[JustSomeScrub]

I'm so mad at Ranai those last 10 seconds. All he had to do was run away go off stage do one more rocket under the stage or something, and he would have that....

I mean you KNOW Dabuz's only option at that point is to Smash attack, nothing else would kill. Guess he just choked under the pressure.

Edit:

Yes Ranai still won. That would been so heartbreaking if he had lost after that.

 

[Das Koopa]

SO GLAD I WAS WRONG

 

[Rawbinator]

Sorry for doubting you Ranai

 

[-Tornado-]

RANAI 2-0 OVER DABUZ
POGCHAMP
CHOPPED IN HALF

 

[arbustopachon]

Ranai hype!

 

[Man Li Gi]

A raw chop from Ranai.
2-1 Ranai

 

[hypersonicJD]

AND WE GOT A JAPANESE PLAYER WINNING.

RANAI 2 - 1 DABUZ IN AN INTENSE SET

 

[TDK]

TDK can't predict confirmed

Ranai upsets Dabuz 2-1

 

[Jexulus]

Exceptional performance from both players, and especially from Ranai. If there was ever an instance of making lemonade from lemons.

 

[Twizman]

Love these matchup experts in here being proven wrong.

 

[Fatmanonice]

HE DID IT! HE ACTUALLY DID IT! GET DUNKED ON ROSA! GET. DUNKED. ON.

 

[PK Gaming]

not even mad that my prediction didn't come true because RANAI THE GOD WITH THE AXE KILL

so good

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Dabuz did not play game 1 well imo. He played to defensively which allowed Ranai to gain the upper hand, but great stuff from Ranai. How did he even hit Dabuz when he was under the stage that last game lol

 

[Ilikebugs]

Larry Lurr 2-0 ZeRo (7th)
Dabuz 2-0 Ranai (7th)
Abadango 2-1 Ally
VoiD 2-1 Kamemushi

Larry Lurr 2-1 Kamemushi (5th)
Ally 2-1 Dabuz (5th)

Abadango 3-1 VoiD
Ally 3-2 Larry Lurr (4th)

Ally 3-2 VoiD (3rd)

Abadango 3-2 Ally

imo

I'm never trusting your opinions again.

 

[Plain Yogurt]

This boy wants me to pick up Villager again. How am I gonna get through the rest of this with no nails left?

 

[JustSomeScrub]

Abadango struggles versus Diddy and has never come close to winning against Zero.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a counterpick character ready.

 

[ARISTOS]

What a tense set man

Both players committed to a laggy option and paid the price for it

 

[Aaron1997]

Aba vs ZeRo next. Mght see again

 

[Zelder]

I guess Ranai was just a...cut above.







kill me

 

[TDK]

From the sound of it, Aba's using Rosa.
