What the hell. Salem 3-0 over Void, who apparently forgot that Bayo’s Nair doesn’t have a hitbox underneath it, that he can crouch or literally just stand under ABK from the ledge, and kept approaching with a stock lead. Wtf.

EDIT: Void beat himself and played scared.

Void must of been shook after Salem made that big comeback Game 2. The last match was a straight up massacre

Yeah, he was a mess in game 3 and basically sat in shield while Salem spammed Nair away.

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

Elegant beats KEN with the timeout in game 5

Luigi moves on

aaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[Yonder]

Elegant 3-2 KEN via timeout.

There's some sort of irony hidden here...

 

[Pyrover]

We always say that people never play campy enough. Looks like Elegant decided to test that theory, and damn did it work for him.

That's pretty much what you have to do vs Sonic. I keep saying - Sonic's neutral is best when you're rushing him down. If you don't give him that, it becomes noticeably worse. Long lasting, low lag moves are good for stuffing spindash, and anything that clanks/forces Sonic to jump is also really good. Banana is one example, as is Luigi fireball.

Elegant basically did everything perfectly, including abusing Sonic's meh recovery. Dude put on a clinic.

Mario needs better damage output on every exchange. He can’t settle for single hits or trades, especially when he has to chase so hard. And he doesn’t really have the ability to do so. Ally needs to either optimize with footstool set ups, or pick a secondary.

(I know this isn't what you mean but it's what came to mind)
(Maybe a Namekian-style fusion of the chars would help?)

 

[NotLiquid]

I looked away for 5 minutes and MKLeo 3-0'd ZeRo?

 

[MercuryPenny]

LEO 3-0S ZERO OH MY GOD

 

[Yonder]

MKLeo 3-0 Zero VERY one sided. With MK. Zero took one stock the whole set. Reminder, Zero got demolished by MKleo's MK last time too.

People need to explore the Diddy vs mk mu...

 

[TDK]

ZeRo honestly might need Falcon or Lucina to combat leo's MK. That was disgusting,

what about the sheik of the olden days?

 

[Nobie]

I've never seen Diddy's poor air speed exploited so thoroughly.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Salem wins the runback vs Elegant 3-1. Still was very amazing play It says something when you can make Bayo , friggin BAYO afraid of challenging you offstage.

 

[TDK]

This tournament has been some insane hype with brief periods of Salem killing it all

 

[NotLiquid]

Hmm kinda sorta 2 for 3 in my Top 3 prediction but I expected Elegant to be the one to cinch it and Salem to be the one doing the Losers runback. Now I'm not so sure, Elegant has to do a Dante Must Die-level runback to power through but if KEN can finally defeat ZeRo he might still have a decent chance.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

>Elegant Loses to Salem
>Elegant is sent to losers
>Elegant first match is vs Dabuz
>Likely Elegant right now

 

[Yonder]

My money is on Leo winning, Zero 2nd with a losers run, Dabuz in 3rd. There's such little hope for Elegant beating Dabuz sadly

 

[|RK|]

Dabuz knows how to play against Luigi.

 

[TDK]

oh boy, ZeRo vs Dabuz runback. Go Dabuz!

 

[NotLiquid]

Salem and MKLeo are already a lock for Top 3. The question is whether Dabuz or ZeRo will be the third.

 

[Wintermelon43]

Salem witch timed the stream audio during that match

 

[NotLiquid]

That was really close. Salem might not have taken it to Game 5 this time but Game 4 being a last hit situation just comes to show that these two are neck to neck. Salem is definitely the #2 player in the world right now.

 

[Wintermelon43]

MKLeo takes the tournament

MKLeo 3-1 ZeRo

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Yet one more case of an ill-timed Monkey Flip cost ZeRo the set. Anyone have a tally of how many times it happened this year?
ZeRo no doubt has a poor habit of throwing it out unsafely under pressure.

 

[NotLiquid]

Leo could have ended it earlier if he didn't save ZeRo the first stock lol

 

[Laken64]

Zero has lost 13K+ in earnings just in this season just to monkey flips...

 

[Yonder]

Zero has to learn the MK MU or pick up a secondary. I think MK's multiple jumps let's him basically avoid touching the ground for banana set ups, whole his edgeguarding is basically second to none, making Diddy being off stage basically a death sentence. Diddy seems pretty susceptible to the ladder too, although idk how much the ladder varies on characters.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

ZeRo's Monkey Flip habit has cost him sets in some of the worst characters . Bayo/ZSS/MK have shown they can punish one misplaced one into swift and instant death with thier ladder combos

 

[Dawn111]

This was such an amazing tournament tonight. MKLeo performed better than ever with Meta Knight after he beat ZeRo in this tournament, and I've already been impressed with his Cloud, Marth, and Corrin as well. It's not that ZeRo doesn't know the MK matchup, but more like MKLeo's Meta Knight is seriously godlike. Leo definitely put MK to make his name MKLeo for a reason.

 

[Crystanium]

Glad Dabuz beat Elegant 3-1.
