Summer of Smash Week 8: EVO 2017

[Game7a1]

Who's Urameshi? Is he the same person as Mumei, who the bracket says beat ZD? Who does he play?

According to smash.gg, yes. He also beat Kiki but lost to TLTC in loser's semis of the pool.
He plays Meta Knight.

 

[ARISTOS]

Why go to BF against Fox?

 

[Finh009]

MSF | Larry Lurr 2-1 Tsu-

Why would you go to Battlefield vs Fox ( ;~; )

 

[Wintermelon43]

Another set, another Japanese in losers or eliminated

 

[toonito]

Wonderbread > Captain Zack

 

[NotLiquid]

Zack lost to Wonderbread off stream apparently?

 

[Finh009]

Wonderbread > P1 | CaptainZack

Also: Wrath 2-0 John Numbers

 

[TDK]

Was it Thinkaman who wanted to know how the Bayo-Mac matchup went?

 

[Yonder]

So I think Zac hss to practice that Mac matchup...

 

[Lord Dio]

Soooo as far as Japan....Aba and Tsu are in losers.
Rn I know Japan has KEN, komo, ranai, raito, and eim still in. Anyone I'm missing?
Either way this must be a nightmare for Japan.....

 

[ぱみゅ]

Little Mac is very, VERY difficult to approach to, he gets obliterated once in the air, but breaking his defense might be difficult.
Basically Bayo loses the neutral pretty hard, and if she doesn't convert her juggles correctly, she'll lose.

 

[Game7a1]

Seagull Joe 2-1 SGK
Seagull vs ZeRo in WSF of their pool.

 

[|RK|]

I've said it before, but that's the danger of oversimplifying easy MUs. Ppl will continue to advance the counterplay for any MU.

That said, people do simplify Mac a lot to "get Mac in the air" while forgetting Mac does have a high/top tier neutral game. And a very solid advantage state. Regardless of how far he drops on the tier list, he'll always be scary to fight.

 

[my_T]

Fox and Bayo out here shattering dreams

and Japan is still doing quite well. Half of their heavy hitters are still in winners with another two in losers.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Seagull Joe 2-1 SGK
Seagull vs ZeRo in WSF of their pool.

Fixed it since Seagull said he went Diddy on twitter

 

[TDK]

Chanshu 2-1 Ally

 

[toonito]

Chanshu 2-1 Ally

MVD 2-1 Icymist

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Chanshu 2-1 Ally

So other than Mistake, Canada is getting demolished.... feelsbadman

 

[TDK]

Static Manny 2-0 9B

Timed out 9B game 1, won game 2 before time.

Japan's getting hit badly this weekend

EDIT: FALSE BEAT LEO WITH DK

 

[ShadowGuy1]

FALSE BEAT LEO WITH DK

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Static Manny 2-0 9B

Timed out 9B game 1, won game 2 before time.

Japan's getting hit badly this weekend

So is Canada.... with the exception of Mistake

 

[Wintermelon43]

Evo 2017 but every player that's not from america gets sent to losers or eliminated early

 

[Game7a1]

Mr. E 2-0 Nietono
Now we're getting ZeRo vs Mr. E again at EVO but hopefully on stream this time.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

IXIS>ESAM

 

[Heracr055]

Fox players continue to make a good showing as of late. What do you guys think he brings to the table that are allowing him to take sets against so many talented players? My impression of him is that he's akin to a surgical knife, where precise play is hugely rewarding (then again, I'm sure that can be said of most chars).
And not too surprised about Locus losing to NAKAT's Ness; it's reminiscent of his loss to FOW not too long ago

 

[TDK]

Zenyou 2-1 Samsora

What is this tournament

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Are we in real life?

 

[Yonder]

Zenyou 2-1 Samsora

What is this tournament

Seems like a normal outcome to me, Zenyou is pretty legit. He used to beat Elegant on a regular basis.

 

[TDK]

Mute Ace 2-0 MKLeo

Leo's out at like 65th!

VoD here: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ypKdlRWlVaKW

 

[ShadowGuy1]

MUTEACE ELIMNATED MKLEO

 

[Lord Dio]

WHAT IS THIS

 

[Yonder]

Mute Ace 2-0 MKLeo

Leo's out at like 65th!

VoD here: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ypKdlRWlVaKW

Now THAT is an upset.

One of the big 4 ousted. Ally in losers, so that leaves Zero in a pretty comfortable position considering his record vs Nairo.

 

[ARISTOS]

Mute Ace 2-0 MKLeo

Leo's out at like 65th!

VoD here: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ypKdlRWlVaKW

What the ****

Also MK is now 0-2 versus Peach's at EVO

 

[Finh009]

And here I was thinking we wouldn't get a tournament this year that would top Civil War in terms of upsets. But this might be the tournament to do so.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Now THAT is an upset.

One of the big 4 ousted. Ally in losers, so that leaves Zero in a pretty comfortable position considering his record vs Nairo.

Dabuz also has a high chance of taking EVO now too. Making it the 2nd S-tier tournament he will win

 

[toonito]

Wadi 2-1 Earth

Civil War II

at this point I got Zero or Dabuz taking EVO

 

[Minordeth]

Damn, WaDi over Earth 2-1.

Showed some good adaptation, and Mewtwo's damage output is pretty nuts. It also shows that even though Earth has top tier neutral, Mewtwo has top tier neutral tools.

 

[Yonder]

Wadi 2-1 Earth

Civil War II

at this point I got Zero or Dabuz taking EVO

Needed that W considering Mewtwo has been doing awful so far.

 

[Nu~]

Is Extra still in??

 

[Game7a1]

Is Extra still in??

He's out.
I'm wondering if KOSSismoss is in or not.
