Summer of Smash Week 8: EVO 2017

[Ziodyne 21]

So far I predict Dabuz just slightly over ZeRo taking this.

Unless Nairo can get the upset of ZeRo again or even the possibility Salem goes full Nairo Saga form again

 

[my_T]

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

It's a bit surprising since top Marios tend to struggle against Peach if you look at the set history between both characters

 

[Minordeth]

Nairo said he was working on secondaries a bit but we haven't seen any so far. I'd be surprised if he didn't vs Zero. Dabuz is Dabuz. He adapted and stuffed Zero last time, but Zero is the king of grind so we will see. I'd love to see False in top 8 tho.

 

[Nu~]

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

:/
Koss is out too

 

[TDK]

It's worth noting that Dabuz is one of five* people who have beaten ZeRo more than once (Along with Ally, ANTi, Kirihara, and Larry), I could definitely see him doing it again, if he can get past Nairo if he has to fight him.

*If I'm forgetting someone let me know

EDIT: Xzax > Earth

EDIT2: Yes, I am forgetting lots of people.

MVD BEATS ALLY

 

[ARISTOS]

MVD BEATS ALLY

Wow RIP Ally.

Ryuga is also out as well https://twitter.com/Samsora_/status/886323651917692928

 

[toonito]

MVD ? 2-1 Ally

Ally's out. Both 2016 EVO champ and runner up are out.

 

[Lord Dio]

soooooo as much as they've been getting completely destroyed.....there's still hope for Japan. Komo, KEN, ranai, raito, Eim iirc......
As for America, I'd bet on Salem.

EDIT: Xzax > Earth

Do you mean this past season, or overall? Because overall, Nairo, Kameme (?)

 

[Ziodyne 21]

MVD ? 2-1 Ally

Ally's out. Both 2016 EVO champ and runner up are out.

Mr R did it twice.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Mr R did it twice.

and dont forget Salem double-eliminating ZeRo back at collision

 

[TDK]

Well, I stand corrected.

Now, let me tell you all a story:

Static Manny took game 1 over Dabuz
but Dabuz didn't like that
so he up aired Manny off the top at 6 after the hit to take the set
The end

 

[JB333]

That was the most tragic thing I've seen all day. Anti's coming in clutch with the streams tho.

 

[Game7a1]

Ranai 2-1 Tyroy
There's still some order left at EVO.

 

[Minordeth]

False over Wadi but not sure of the details.

 

[KakuCP9]

It funny how multiple earth shaking upsets in a national is pretty normal for smash 4. Anyway, this may seem slightly out of place, but I remember last year how many players hated the conditions of Evo. Have things gotten better or are they still the same?

 

[ARISTOS]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This is not pointed towards anyone in this thread btw

 

[JB333]

Ranai 2-1 Tyroy
There's still some order left at EVO.

Finally get to see Ranai vs. Zero after so long!

 

[toonito]

9B 2-0 Fatality

double elim'd by an "overrated" character yikes...

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Disney be letting out a sigh of relief with that one.

 

[Finh009]

9B 2-0 Fatality

yikes...

>Makes a video saying Bayo is overrated

>proceeds to get double eliminated by Bayo

Alright

 

[Envoy of Chaos]

Yeah but no, you can't take away the accomplishment of upsetting someone but you also cannot say BO3 sets don't have any weight on the way a set is approached and played out. You have a game with two stock matches in a BO3 you have a max of 6 stocks or 18 minutes to adapt and adjust as the set goes on and your margin for error is much smaller as one SD can lose you the set. Compared to a BO5 you get a max of 10 sticks and 30 minutes to adjust and adapt, and you have a lot more room for error. SD'ing and losing game two because of it doesn't lose you the set you still have three games if your down 2-0 to make that up. You SD and lose a stock in game one and lost that game and your suddenly at match point, it adds stress, nerves among other things, that's a significant difference that can't be ignored.

Having said that like I said congrats to those getting these upsets it's still not at all easy.

 

[Lord Dio]

Komo sends zenyou to losers with a 2-0

 

[Minordeth]

Void over Cosmos 2-1, last stock, possibly last hit. Cosmos just missing top 32.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Ixis2-0ESAMin losers (double eliminated) and makes Top 32 (Jumped the gun has to play LingLING FIRst)

So Sonic has the most used in the top 32 winners by the looks of it. Alrighty.

 

[Minordeth]

Nairo 2-0 over Zinoto. Zinoto with a heartbreaking Usmash fallout and Nairo b-aired him for the set.

The Peach dream is still alive with Ling Ling.

 

[Wintermelon43]

I don't get it.....why speafically Fatality?

Fatality is sponsored by a very un-family friendly company.

 

[TDK]

JK > Locus

Locus out at 25th

 

[Wintermelon43]

Fatality is sponsored by a very un-family friendly company.
