Dabuz 3-1 Mr. R to advance to top 24 winners side!

 

[Iridium]

Abadango 3-1 Nairo

Aba used after losing game 1 with . He basically used Mewtwo for all three games he won.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Captain L 3-2 Marss with a clutch up-throw!

Uh, he won at least the last 2 games with . I didn't see the full set, though, so I'll update.

 

[Dracyoshi]

That was an amazing set. Captain L's last second comeback before timeout was beautiful

 

[Iridium]

Tweek (?) 3-2 Shuton to eliminate him at 25th. Myran also lost to Light to get 33rd, so no more Olimar at all remain.

You forgot to mention Tyroy beating ESAM 2-0 to eliminate him at 33rd (outplaced by Rideae and Captain L. Hmmmmm. . . .)

 

[MarioManTAW]

MkLeo 3-0 Vinnie

 

[Iridium]

Fatality 3-1 Larry Lurr offstream. The matches that could have been great to see are not on stream.

 

[Lord Dio]

fatality 3-1 larry lurr

 

[MarioManTAW]

Elegant 3-1 Nairo Nairo out at 17th!

 

[MarioManTAW]

Fatality 3-1 Larry Lurr offstream. The matches that could have been great to see are not on stream.

Well, there are a lot of matches that would have been good to see.

 

[Iridium]

Elegant 3-1 Nairo Nairo out at 17th!

Not looking good for Nairo, coupled with his 17th at Hyrule Saga. I heard he was sick and not feeling good, but this definitely separates him from MkLeo even further.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Tweek 3-0 Mr. R in dominant fashion! Mr. R out at 17th!

 

[The_Bookworm]

Tweek 3-0 Mr. R in dominant fashion! Mr. R out at 17th!

Why did Mr. R think that the Roy will work. lol

Rideae 3-2 Samsora. He is fighting Captain Zack as we speak.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Why did Mr. R think that the Roy will work. lol

To be fair, it almost did. Maybe taking a page out of komo's book.

 

[Lord Dio]

To be fair, it almost did. Maybe taking a page out of komo's book.

mr r was using roy before komo was though, and komo's opted for corrin instead for bayo as of a few weeks ago

 

[MarioManTAW]

CaptainZack 3-1 Rideae

 

[Ark of Silence101]

mr r was using roy before komo was though, and komo's opted for corrin instead for bayo as of a few weeks ago

And then there's the little fact that when you main a character with a neutral game as strong as Sheik's, changing into a character with a weaker neutral like Roy's isn't a good idea, at least in my book.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Dabuz 3-0 Salem in possibly the slowest 3-0 in Smash 4 history!

 

[MarioManTAW]

CaptainZack 3-0 Salem
Raito 3-1 Captain L

 

[roymustang1990-]

Can anyone explained what happened to vinnie's face? Looked kinda traumatic

 

[MercuryPenny]

he always looks like that

Don't know, but he looks like that since the Brawl days.

Top 8 is coming tomorrow.

Winner's
Dabuz vs Cosmos
MKLeo vs Raito

Loser's
Abadango vs Captain Zack
falln vs Tweek

 

[MarioManTAW]

I think it's a birthmark. But like everyone else said, he always looks like that.

 

[Yonder]

Know who I haven't seen in a top 8 in a while? Sonic...

 

[JustCallMeJon]

That is his birthmark if you hadn't realized.

 

[Iridium]

Out of the 8 players left, 4 have never won a major (Raito, Captain Zack, falln, Cosmos). Of those players, I would rather see Raito do it, although Leo will be tough to deal with. Interestingly though, every player left in winners aside from Raito has been beaten by Raito.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Other than Wrath's performance at MomoCon, Sonic as a character has been scarce in top 8's in major tournaments this year. This is most likely due to KEN's absence in USA majors (or USA tournaments in general).

Since when did MKLeo lose to Raito?

Since when did MKLeo lose to Raito?

Apparently, a Japanese weekly. https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/6acnl4/toryumon_2_losers_eighths_echo_fox_mvg_mkleo_vs/

 

[TDK]

Captain Zack's entrances are the reason to get up so early to watch

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm really looking forward to what Cosmos will be doing with Inkling in Smash Ultimate.

 

[MarioManTAW]

Tweek 3-0 CaptainZack

 

[MarioManTAW]

Tweek 3-0 Cosmos to advance to Grand Finals!

 

[MarioManTAW]

Tweek 3-0 MkLeo to reset Grand Finals! Tweek on a rampage, having only lost one game all day!

 

[Minordeth]

Leo’s Bayo is wild. And he’s already made adjustments against Tweek’s DK.

This is also the most anime GFs in a while. Both players could be number one on the PGR, depending on who takes the tourney.
