Summer of Smash Week 9: Dreamhack Atlanta

[MarioManTAW]

Tweek 3-0 Vinnie

 

[MarioManTAW]

Salem 3-0 Nairo

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Good Lord. Salem may be winning 2 S-tier tournaments in 2 weeks if he keeps playing like That. Those 0-death combos were just plain evil...

 

[Game7a1]

ANTi 3-0 Samsora
He's no Meta Knight, but Cloud is close enough to be a floaty slayer.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Dabuz 3-2 Mr. E
Dabuz with the reverse 3-0 with Alph!

 

[MarioManTAW]

ANTi 3-0 Samsora
He's no Meta Knight, but Cloud is close enough to be a floaty slayer.

So ANTi finally realized Mario won't work vs. Peach, huh?

 

[MarioManTAW]

Mr. R 3-1 ESAM

 

[MarioManTAW]

ZeRo 3-1 Ally

 

[GS3K]

I'm shocked that Uair killed ally at 60%

 

[my_T]

who put Ally in losers?

 

[Ziodyne 21]

who put Ally in losers?

Void. 3-1 Ally in Winners Bracket

 

[MarioManTAW]

Dabuz 3-0 Vinnie

 

[MarioManTAW]

Nairo 3-2 ZeRo

 

[The-Technique]

Nairo overcame game 5 Zero, with a secondary no less. Good ****, Nairo.

 

[FeelMeUp]

Either Salem or a Sheik will most likely win this.

 

[Vyrnx]

The entire pgr top 5 ended up on the same side of losers, dang.

 

[Deleted member]

What a shame ZeRo went out before getting a money-earning position. Now, ZeRo is a very formidable contender, granted, but there will be other competitions. I hope to see more middle- or low-tiers making top 8 in future competitions.

 

[The-Technique]

Either Salem or a Sheik will most likely win this.

I think this is Nairo's tournament to win. With Zero defeated, literally anything is possible.

 

[TDK]

Predictions:
VoiD > Larry
Salem > Tweek
ANTi > Mr. R
Nairo > Dabuz
Tweek > ANTi
Larry > Nairo
Salem > VoiD
Larry > Tweek
Salem > Larry

Salem wins

What I want to happen:
Larry > VoiD
Salem > Tweek
Mr. R > ANTi
Dabuz > Nairo
Mr. R > Tweek
Dabuz > VoiD
Salem > Larry
Dabuz > Mr. R
Dabuz > Larry
Dabuz > Salem

Dabuz wins

Shame I had to miss most of the tournament, although I did catch Samsora vs ZeRo.

 

[BSP]

Zenyou beat Samsora at EVO. It can be done.

 

[Yonder]

Nairo 3-2 ZeRo

That'll make the Bowser vs DK debate all the more fun if he's pulling off big feats like this. Props.

 

[Game7a1]

Nairo 3-1 Dabuz
ANTi 3-1 Mr. R
VoiD 3-0 Larry
Tweek 3-1 Salem

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm sure I've said this before, but I'm starting to see what CaptainZack meant when he said Cloud is the only matchup that Bayo explicitly loses to.

 

[Game7a1]

Nairo 3-2 Larry
Salem 3-0 ANTi
VoiD 3-2 Tweek

 

[Deleted member]

Okay, at this point I predict Salem will come out as the victor of this event. Cheer for my other girl , family!

 

[Game7a1]

Salem 3-1 Nairo

 

[TDK]

I can't help but feel like ZSS's matchups against the other top tiers are getting kinda suspect. And at this point, Salem's winning if he gets past Tweek, I think.

 

[Lord Dio]

No faith in VoiD?

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Salems has to beet Tweek who sent him to losers. Then he has to win 2 sets vs Void who I beilevehave never faced each other. So that could go any way.

Still this is losers bracket Salem now, who is basically at the level of losers bracket ZeRo now with how insane he can play when there

 

[Game7a1]

Salem 3-1 Tweek

UPDATE.. Yea. losers bracket Salem is going to be the new losers bracket ZeRo for sure if he can win both sets vs Void

 

[Deleted member]

Well, we have finally reached the grand finals. Let's see if my prediction was correct, shall we?

 

[Ziodyne 21]

What was that set?...wow Salem literally climbed naco up from the depths of he'll to get the reverse 3-0 clutch and reset the bracket

 

[MarioManTAW]

Salem 3-1 VoiD
Salem's 2nd S-tier win in 2 weeks.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Oh lord Sheik mains are likely going to be soo mad . Closest time post-patch Sheik came to winning a big major. But Bayonetta just steals it away from her graap winning her 2nd S-tier majorn 2 weeks

 

[NotLiquid]

Starting to think the cosmic gods of Smash came down hard after Fatality's video

He jinxed the meta

 

[Deleted member]

Well, it appears my prediction was right. I give Salem and his all the praise for blowing away the competition. Not to mention this is what gives me the drive to have her on as at least my secondary. Anyway...grace and peace to all of y'all.

That.. and considering he double eliminated by Mr.E if he made a vid saying Marth was overrated I have not heard about

If he is to blame it is because he used the incorrect names for pretty much all of her Specials and probably confused people wanting to develop counterplay.

Not only you, some top players on twitter are talking about moving to characters that able to contest her, if not using Bayonetta themselves.

They're not wrong. There's about three characters that I'd say can reliably face her and have realistic odds.

I'd say Cloud, Sheik, and Diddy.

Oh and obviously herself but I highly doubt that'd happen......
