I wanted to make sidebets for the Top 8, but then I remembered that Japanese top 8s are pretty much gatcha machines where who makes it far is a (often pleasant) surprise.
Leo, KEN and Choco are pretty much givens tho

Pretty much.

Even if he doesn’t know how to manipulate Nair, Compact has got his execution for Mewtwo down. Where is this guy from?

Kansai. Ranked 58th in Japan. Has wins on taranito, OCEAN, ikep, Tsu~ ( not ), Ke-ya, Umeki, Rizeasu, Rain, Earth, and Fuwa (from what I could find).

Masha 2-0 eM | Zenyou
Reo 2-0 JJROCKETS
Rito 2-0 Fuwa
Hobbit 2-1 FILIP

 

[TDK]

Kenkenpa 2-1 Zenyou

Zenyou out at 65th

 

[Nu~]

AHHHH

Noluck is doing all these punishable lemons and DSS just keeps holding shield/standing there.

 

[Minordeth]

Oh maaaaan, why does T have to go up against Leo this early? At least T is in winners. But Masha’s been on a roll through pools.

On the World vs Japan side:

Leo vs Shogun should be good, but when was the last time Leo lost to a Fox that wasn’t Larry?

Choco vs Legit will be fun, especially with Legit just having come off his set over Nairo.

Shu vs Xzax may be tough for Xzax, given Shu’s history of mains that Fox doesn’t particularly like.

Finally, Anti gonna really need to grind that Greninja MU. Lea is still probably the best Gren in Japan, afaik.

Edit: didn’t even see ESAM vs Sigma. Oh my god. That’s gonna be so weird. Sigma has been doing super well lately.

Sorry for the question but i can't really find the videos from smash today and it doesn't seem like there is smash on the english stream either.

Was it even streamed? Can i watch it somewhere?

For some reason, top 8 is tomorrow?!?
There is only an English stream for top 8. I can't find any of the VoD's of this tournament either.

 

[NINTENDO Galaxy]

Yeah the smash vods have not been uploaded yet. I thought some would ve up since vods for the other games went up a day after.

The english commentary is only for top 8 going by the schedule.

 

[Lord Dio]

Oh man, Choco vs Leo looks fun
*sees that loser of that fights winner of komo and kameme*
OH CHRIST NOOOOOO
That looks rough for both komo and kameme (komo doesn't have a good track record vs zss last I checked and Leo is just uggggghhh)

 

[sleepy_Nex]

will smash get uploaded on youtube after evo? I think alot of people don't really wanna sign up at a website they will be using only once.

 

[NINTENDO Galaxy]

I'm hoping they will. We will have to wait and see.

As for openrec.tv you can watch the streams without making an account. Making an account allows you to talk in chat and if you decide to follow the evo channel, the app will notify you when all the streams go live.

The only way to watch vods in the app is to pay money and go premium. Otherwise you can wait until tonight and watch top 8 on the evo stream on twitch since it will be streamed there.

Edit: Looking at the schedule, all streams are going to start of with Smash 4, while the first stream on the list will have a small downtime beforehand.

 

[TDK]

Top 8 has started with Aba beating KEN 2-1 with Bayo.

 

[The_Bookworm]

Look at my above comment on the bracket as top 8 proceeds.

 

[NINTENDO Galaxy]

Top 8 got uploaded, rip pools.
