Summer of Smash Week 8: EVO 2017

[Ziodyne 21]

Tyroy is using ... and beat a 2-0

I know i heard Tyroy say he hates the Bayo/Cloud MU... but I dont think it will be a better pick overall...lmao

 

[Jaguar360]

The Cloud was so bad though lol, it doesn't really say much. He did take a set off of Ned with a mix of Bayo and Bowser a few days ago, so I really don't think he's actually using Zelda as a serious Cloud counterpick.

Dom 2-1 Kameme

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Dom 2-1 Kameme

please tell me your joking

 

[TDK]

please tell me your joking

Nope. This actually happened.

Oh, and Extra made it out in winners.

 

[Laken64]

It makes me curious how we praise the Japanese for there sdi while they struggle against bayo where sdi is a must. Japan really doesn't like bayo or falcon.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Luthie or Vinnie (whoever wins their match in r2 pools) have a pretty safe path to Winners Finald of the r2 pool because of Kamemes loss

 

[Wintermelon43]

Dom 2-1 Kameme

I swear Kameme's Sheik is the japanese version of Esam.

Also, is it just me, or does almost all of Kameme's bad losses seem to happen when he uses Sheik?

 

[Game7a1]

please tell me your joking

It was on stream, so no.

 

[Lord Dio]

Dom 2-1 Kameme

oh man.........Are we sure that bayo is the only top tier that people are struggling to use as effective secondaries? Because when kameme pulls out sheik, it's usually not good for him......not to mention tsu pulls out Ryu and has failed, etc.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

According to Myrans twitter, he lost to a fox player in pools. Here I thought pools would be boring..instead just all the fun stuff happens towards the end

 

[TDK]

I love Dedede so much but watching him makes me sad

 

[Nobie]

Kameme's Sheik's main claim to fame is being a Mega Man destroyer.

That's what you get when a guy who knows the character best switches to his worst counterpick.

 

[Ark of Silence101]

I swear Kameme's Sheik is the japanese version of Esam.

This is the same that lost to a , so yeah, that isn't too far off.

 

[Yonder]

Nope. This actually happened.

Oh, and Extra made it out in winners.

It's EVO, which means it's mandatory that a Game and Watch player does well in it (well, mostly Regi).

But I would watch out for Extra too, placing at a 200+ event with solo watch is no laughing matter.

Counterpick meta has evolved to another plane of existence: Reality.

 

[Yonder]

I hope you all saw Larry Lurr's final kill against that Sonic player. Incredible. Basically dash attack into turn around PP f tilt X2 to the ledge, followed by drag down fair.

Drag down fair from Fox when he's up a stock is like Luigi cyclone or a ganoncide.

 

[ARISTOS]

Nope. This actually happened.

Oh, and Extra made it out in winners.

Right when you stop thinking about G&W, he comes back and starts doing things again

This kind of comment is so cringe worthy, smh

 

[Das Koopa]

Round 2 pools begin!

I made this a couple of days ago: https://intheloop837.wordpress.com/2017/07/14/evo-2017-pool-analysis/

let's see how wrong I am

 

[Wintermelon43]

First match of the day might be an upset.


This is gonna be great

 

[Game7a1]

Edge 2-1 Aerolink
That was a good set to start round 2 pools.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Loser of Kameme vs Vinnie places in like the hundreds

 

[Lord Dio]

Eon 2-0 Ri-ma.

 

[Finh009]

Eon 2-0 Ri-Ma

Not sure if this counts as an upset or not.

Edit: 'd

 

[TDK]

Ri-Ma spent nearly the entire set fishing for something. I can't help but feel like that's a character thing.

[Lord Dio]

Ri-Ma spent nearly the entire set fishing for something. I can't help but feel like that's a character thing.

looked like he was fishing for bomb -> fair, and even got opportunities for it, but didn't use it......
Good stuff to Eon though for weaving in and out of the projectiles game 2.

[Yonder]

Upset? Nakat convincingly takes Locus 2-0

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Ouch this is not Ryu's day.

Ryu is almost becoming the new Lucario. Can absolutely destroy the competition on a good day. But is just really seems really inconsitient

Mistake seems to basically have Kirahara's number at this point. Its like a reverse Dabuz/Salem situation as far as this MU goes
