3. koro -> will make almost everyone too uncomfortable to win
4. jaimehr -> que
5. nintendude -> 10 letter name ensures 5th place because he will lose way 2 fast to my 1 friend FIREBLASTER
5. near -> far away from top place
7. kero -> will groan opponents to death with terrible sense of humor
7. karajan -> cool name
9. jam -> snug fit in this place
9. to joe -> more like joeto cuz he kanto win

9. mrmarbles -> dis lil niga gonna lose more than his marbles

13. smash jesus -> the real jesus was a loser too
13. weedwack -> wat a stupid name u deserve this place
13. moyashi -> last place dq via seppuku due to dishonoring his family with a dumb character

Wow, Clubba brings up a really great point about Killer being in the Falcon bracket. Killer totally making it to top 8.

Depending on the character matchups, I like tacos for an upset and make top 8 as well. Don't underestimate the LUV.

Battlecow you've been underestimating Killer for years though.
Completely irrelevant. Killer really was a B-tier kind of guy at one point years ago (you prolly recognized his improvement before I did but it's 2014 now lol). Why would I not have changed my opinion after he bodyrocked you/matts/everyone else in like 19 tournaments in a row?

Killer vs Ruoka will be really interesting. My gut says killer should win, but ruoka did crazy stuff last year like 5 stocking sensei's pika so WHO KNOWS

Luigi sucks
Nintendude, you already know the matches that we want to see on stream, but I think having a match with justin wong in it and uploading it to youtube from the stream is going to bring some people in. I think... or maybe i just want to watch some combo videos with a DK dummy. idk

He's one of the best fighting game players in the world, notable for playing basically every 2d fighter out there to some degree (he has excellent fundamentals), and regarded very highly in both UMvC3 and the various SF4s, which are the most popular and competitive 2d fighters at the moment. He is also known to play characters he feels are more suited to him, rather than tier-whoring, and doing exceptionally well with said characters.

he's also the guy who got bodied in this video

only 2 people make it out into top 8 per pool, right? if so...

1. moyashi
2. isai
3. boom
4. ruoka
5. killer
6. merihim
7. jaime
8. kefit

...would be my educated guess. should be interesting to see how this plays out, i think any of the top 3 can take 1st place and the rest of the top 8 can really be grabbed by anyone. pretty stacked pools.

^ no.

you can't just conjure a top 8 like that. it's not an educated guess unless you look at the bracket and see possible outcomes. the way it's laid out, it assumed some serious upsets

example: for jaime and kefit to be 7 and 8, one would have to win their pool, and the other would have to get 2nd in their pool, which is inconsistent with the rest of his opinion

and rofl, this is all assuming the transition from pools to top 8 is like evo's (but **** me if nintendude or staff are actually gonna answer apex questions in time)

MATTS! has spoken, SK. I have no doubts you'll find yourself back into pool 1 tomorrow for some mysterious reason.

I kinda really want to see Justin Wong come in and just wreck house. I doubt he will because he got in the pool in the last possible moment. He was on the OBS show 2 weeks ago talking with one of the people who is helping to run Apex (forgot his name) and he said right there how he would love to compete in Smash 64. So chances are he hasn't practiced in forever but who knows.

Mariguas is good, but he has some problems against Kirby.

He beat my Pikachu one match with Falcon on Hyrule.

Why did you think he would Falcon ditto Stranded though

Yeah, he Falcon ditto'd Ruoka, but probably because people (ME) told him Ruoka seemed relatively weak in Falcon dittos so it might be his best chance.

You were the first one to tell me, yes, But i was not convinced. It was only after stranded/sheer/clubba/etc.. suggested that falcon dittos would be the best choice.

ouch. haha tacos is so good
Some peeps man.

Get top 8 and start talking down to everyone...

Smdh.
lol, wtf. You guys are making it seem as though i think they suck or something. Which is not the case. What I was trying to say with that comment was that stranded was really good,but compared to kero he was "ok". ie. I was not comparing them with me. Hope I didn't offend standed or kero. On another note going to start my shoutouts soon

That funny. It's exactly what I would say.
Only thing that sets Ruoka apart from other Falcons is that he's cool very reserved with his u-smashes. And because of that I've that caught him doing this - pretty much everyone else does it sometime or another. Boom, Jaime, Bane, Tavo, Sensei, me, King Funk, etc.

I never do that.

Try finding a video of me doing that :troll:

No but seriously I'm pretty sure I almost never do that. I rarely USmash people shielding on platforms in the first place. I prefer doing aerials and stuff.
