[Smoom77]

Since i'm a loser and i'm obssessed with this set...

for ics since there's no videos

Spoiler

I don't expect this to get up, I just wanna see what you guys will say lol.

 

[demonictoonlink]

I watched that set awhile ago. I'm always rooting for Havok, but he only won the first game for a few stupid reasons and then got a free win from RC.

Also that's a great video.

 

[Anther]

I'm pretty sure that's not correct. No tournaments have shown that and the last videos of Lain vs Anther are from 8 months ago and Anther goes all Pika. Anther is inactive. Unless you've actually been at the tournament or can show me results I don't really believe it, because I keep track of tournament results.

True story, it was about 3-4 months ago in winner finals.
-Lost 2 matches pika vs ics
-Switched to ic, got 2 wins,
-He went snake and won the set.

I kno right, its so entertaining to watch, idk whether its the matchup being played properly but who would care?!!?!?!?!?!?!

I just found it most recent in my subscriptions.

 

[Tiersie]

Banana play revolutionized. That first kill by ZSS was sexy as hell too.

Oh my Gawd.

 

[QUIVO]

Oh you Fancy huh?

That first ZSS kill made me go whaaaa?!!

 

[Sage JoWii]

Dear god. Did that Diddy look for banana locks only and win? The metagame is changing....-lurks-

 

[Trela]

It's going to be fine, don't wory.

I mean, Lucario can do it back on Diddy, so

 

[_Kadaj_]

Marth can't do it

Guess I have to settle for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcgGT7-PNz4

 

[Sharky]

bahahahahahahahaha kadaj that's amazing XD

 

[Trela]

Yeah, umm, have fun with that.

 

[Deleted member]

The first kill by ZSS was the sickest thing ive ever seen loool

Leon for Peach
Watch the whole set to decide which one is the best. The first match is REALLY fun to watch and shows how great of a player Leon is...but it also shows him getting way to greedy. Meno, watch as he SD's a bunch trying to edgeguard. Maybe Peach isn't really capable of fighting offstage???

For Diddy Kong

Oh my god

Japanese players are crazy good

 

[OverLade]

Nagahari is serious as hell. I think Japan has a higher saturation of players close to M2K/Ally level than the USA does.

EDIT:
Holy ****ing **** @ ZSS banana lock combo.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Pretty sure they do. I'd actually be surprised if they don't.

 

[Laem]

But then again, you're Gheb
and we all know you be biased as hell

 

[Kaffei]

Marth can't do it

Marth can do it

 

[Tesh]

I've never seen the 0-death that the Diddy Kong used 2nd stock. Thats only possible on really short trip animations right?

 

[da K.I.D.]

did anybody else notice that despite all of those amazing locks and combos and shiz, that by american tourney rules, they still almost went to time?

 

[Luxor]

All trip animations except for like DK/Ivy/Jiggs/2 others or something are the same framewise. Even Pikachu has an average trip duration.

Almost being the keyword.

Haters gonna hate.

 

[da K.I.D.]

I like how the american diddys were saying that single nanner locks were inefficient and tedious and would be impractical to learn...

seemed pretty practical to me.


also, not hating, Im honestly confused as to how the match took so long.

 

[Boofy!]

inefficent and tedious are codenames

 

[_Kadaj_]

Hmm Kaffei, I would really appreciate if someone could have a video of Marth doing it

 

[Sage JoWii]

also, not hating, Im honestly confused as to how the match took so long.

>_> Because all he was doing was looking for the nana lock. Everything else would've put him at more risk and probably wouldn't have been as efficient as 0-deaths.

 

[Hylian]

Watching that match was like watching IC's play a match LOL.

I never knew it was so possible to run away for so long from a Diddy on FD

Watching that match was like watching IC's play a match LOL.

I agree completely, I had the same thought while I was watching it

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

Yeah, what Hylian said.

I really enjoyed that match meself.

 

[Sage JoWii]

^ Agreed. What he said.

 

[Yikarur]

and IC Matches are awesome
Diddy = like ICs
IC Matches = awesome
ergo
this Diddy player = awesome

!!

 

[Nefarious B]

Yeah, that fight was entirely banana based, the ZS was clearly looking for openings to infinite as well.

This is where matchup ratios start to get tricky though. Do we account for those infinites now that we can see they are obviously usable? Despite it never being seen in the American metagame?

Diddy ends up becoming a very interesting character with this ability. For characters who cannot infinite Diddy back, it becomes an issue of how easily they can avoid his infinite, making Diddy basically a better ICs. And for characters who can infinite him back, the matchup becomes centered around that character's ability to get the nanners from Diddy, and the ease at which they can infinite Diddy.

 

[da K.I.D.]

the reason we discounted all the other nanner infinites is two part.

1. because every other character that ive seen utilise the 1 nanner infinite had to footstool diddy, a manuver that sends character above bf/sv platform height, making it useless on any stage thats not fd

2. Because of the american stage list being 13-16 stages and the japanese being 3-4) it makes playing on fd MUCH more frequent and thus makes the tech monumentally more useful.

So, we have platform canceling on SV, and nanner locks on fd, now if we could find some super amazing tech that we could only do on battlefield, than I would be 100 percent behind the japanese stage list.

 

[Hippieslayer]

Am I the only one pleased at the current irony of the fact that japan's conservative stagelist has enabled their metagame to develop beyound the American?
