MCE FORFEITED!

 

[TDK]

Meanwhile, In singles...

Ling Ling 2-1 Xzax

Also at some point Kogarosuma > S2H

 

[Fenny]

US eviscerated them, I don't even blame them

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Who is Ashley?

I honestly have no idea haha! I think she is a NorCal Ness though I could be way off.

 

[HoSmash4]

MCE FORFEITED!

leo + ally forfeited *

 

[ARGHETH]

I honestly have no idea haha! I think she is a NorCal Ness though I could be way off.

If she is, she isn't on the pr.

 

[TDK]

Did... every Ness get summoned by FOW and Shaky's return?

Because BestNess is 1-1 with Nietono right now.

EDIT: 2-1 Nietono but it was an extremely tense set.

 

[Yonder]

I wonder if anyone has been keeping track of character usage?

Cause I'm only tuning in and out of the stream. I've seen a lot of Bayo, ROB, Sheik, even 2 Warios (I think they both lost)

 

[TDK]

8BitMan 2-1 Kuro

Pit sucks but none of y'all believe me

 

[Das Koopa]

zenyou drowned in pools

 

[krazySyko]

8BitMan 2-1 Kuro

Pit sucks but none of y'all believe me

Kuro also didn't really play that the best, kept getting punished for dash attack on shield and kept trying to challenge Rob's dair with usmash which wasn't working at all.

 

[Das Koopa]

Mr. ConCon vs. OCEAN was fun

 

[TDK]

I'm getting Flashbacks from this Crew Battle

Eh, excellent try. 7 stocks is pretty incredible.

 

[ARGHETH]

Locus just beat Ranai in a head-to-head and ran through 9B with only one stock.

Takes 7 stocks from Ranai, 9B, and You3.

 

[AusJJV]

Brood > DKWill 2-0

Hmmmmmmm... Someone knew this would happen

 

[TDK]

For some reason US and Japan are playing again?

 

[Das Koopa]

Brood > DKWill 2-0

Hmmmmmmm... Someone knew this would happen

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My worst call so far afaik has been Kuro since I expected him to 2-0 8BitMan. S1 was a value pick anyway (basically free "just in case") and while I didn't expect him to beat Marss I also didn't expect the absolute blowout we got.

 

[ARGHETH]

For some reason US and Japan are playing again?

The one before was part of the round robin, this is finals.

 

[ぱみゅ]

I'm not even sure if Kuro's or DKWill's loses can be counted as upsets.

 

[TDK]

Okay so winners finals of pool C6 is Viviff T. Great and Manxy. This pool had Mew2king, AceStarthe3rd, and Teb... I think there were some upsets in this pool...

M2K got Double DQ'd, AceStar lost to Manxy and Teb, and Teb lost Someone named DanGan (No idea) but made it out in losers.

Brood > DKWill 2-0

Hmmmmmmm... Someone knew this would happen

For real, did you expected DKWill would win? Brood isn't a stranger to heavyweight MUs, DKWill surely doesn't know crap about DHD, Can demolishes DK, and Japanese DHDs didn't travel to mess around.

Actually, Tristate has a Duck Hunt in Afroraptor. Afro told me him and Will have played a bunch.

However, Dawangthang, another Duck Hunt who is at G4 right now, told me that Brood was practicing with HIKARU today in preparation of their set. That and DK is horrible on the ledge and Duck Hunt's ledge coverage is bonkers. I also wouldn't doubt Brood's awareness in the MU by puting a Can on a platform and using that to counteract UThrow before UAir connects while in Ding Dong percent.

 

[|RK|]

I've said it before... but once the combos end, Bayonetta really struggles to kill. Unless you get a read with witch time, a smash, or something else.

 

[JB333]

DSS 2-0 6WX

 

[ぱみゅ]

I'm trying my best to update the OP with major upsets by following the stream, you contributors and Panda Gaming Stats' twitter account.

 

[Nathan Richardson]

Sorry for asking another NOOB question but how did M2K get double DQ'd? I've only been on the online tourney mode so I don't know what the rules are in a major tourney warrents disqualification.

 

[TDK]

Sorry for asking another NOOB question but how did M2K get double DQ

He either didn't show up (Probably playing Melee) or Self-DQ'd (took himself out of the tournament) to probably play Melee.

Ah so he likes to play melee and sm4sh. I really need to look up this guys profile.

Uhh
Yeah?
That's kind of his thing.

 

[L9999]

Mew2King is legendary Nathan, he figured out frame data without datamining the game, became the best in Melee at his time, and trivialized Brawl until Ally, 9B and others showed up.

Also, I've said this before, I'll say it again: Japan's Duck Hunt mains control their character so well it's insane. It's like a completely different character.

EDIT: Sinji 2-0 Dyr

 

[ARGHETH]

This crew battle was really close until Larry showed up.
And Dabuz hasn't even come out yet.

Maybe Nairo won't play again

No kidding, i saw that one Japanese Duck hunt just mulch a Mario with only 34% taken game 2 on the 1st stock.

0 to death on him stock 1 game 2.

 

[chaos11011]

Don't take Duck Hunts to Town and City by the way. Sure, your kill confirms with Mario, Meta Knight, etc. can kill earlier, but set ups like Can into UAir are crazy good on Town. It's the character's best stage. Can launches you so high that Duck Hunt cheeses the kill around 80. Just bring them anywhere else and I guarantee you wont get killed unless you die at 130% to an Up Tilt or 90% on ledge to point blank self destruct Can into Back Air.

Remove T&C and Duck Hunt becomes Mr. R, the Infinite Neutral Master, the character.

Duck Hunt's worst stage is ironically, Duck Hunt. The ducks block Can and the stage is so big that it's easy for Can to become useless if across stage.

Sheesh the only good I did was against this one guy at a friendship social who I was playing against as jigglypuff of all things and he was playing fox (this wasn't sm4sh, I think it was brawl but i'm not sure), he commented on how he was impressed that I kept countering his fox but he's nowhere near this guy who is legitimately scary. Thing is.....he does have weaknesses (nobody's perfect), panicking easy in a losing position and awkward neutral. Both were touched upon his profile page. Then there's the fact that he didn't find sm4sh 'competitive' but then says that Cloud changed his mind. Hrrm I'd LOVE to do these competitive scenes but all the motivation is sucked out when I read about guys like this. I didn't even come close to their level when I was starting out. Forget in the same league I wasn't even on the same planet!

Scizor and Cat both made it out of pools! HYPE!!

 

[Kofu]

Aarvark has to play Komorikiri? He's going to losers for sure, lol.

While I'm curious to see how Ally vs. Regi will go, I fully expect Ally to win.
