Whoooooa Jigglypuff.

EDIT: Smashboards was being weird and I accidentally double-posted. See below for the actual reply.

Hm? I'm not sure what you're asking me.

Just watched the two vids of Leon. I generally liked what I saw (seeing how Leon played without DACUS was interesting), but his opponents clearly were lacking some matchup knowledge.

Tekk literally threw away three stocks in the first match (4 if you count the terrible DI on that Fair) and continually got hit by Cypher when going in for Shine gimps throughout the set. He also got caught by the tranq in neutral an embarrassing amount of times for how well Fox's neutral game is.

Mahie got hit by even more tranqs in neutral, and some of his punishes off of ZSS Down Smashes and accidental tranq reloads were very sub-optimal.

I'd like to see Leon go up against an opponent that has a better handle on the matchup. *looks through the OP for other sets from that tournament*

Well, that raises an interesting question, @

KayB , is there a particular reason why you're not putting matches where people lose in their respective sections ?
I mean, yeah, it's supposed to show how people play at their best, but I'd argue people only really try to play at their very best when they're losing.

In any case FF, here are the sets I'd say truly show what Leon is capable of :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISlS_vfbXVU (vs Leffen, ZSS, hf.lan 8)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRvuyIYQFQs (vs Ice, Fox, hf.lan 8)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOPtrsEbQ0s (vs Charby, Marth, Lan Fusion WF)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgcBhXbkr8E (vs Charby, Marth, Lan Fusion GF 1 and 2)

As far as your critiques go, yeah, Tekk doesn't really play PM, he just Foxes his way to top 8 when there's a PM side event at Melee events he's attending.
I can't john for Mahie though, he's definitely played Leon a good amount, at least in 3.0. Charby and myself know the matchup pretty well (I used to 2 stock Leon's Snake in 3.0, forcing him to go Marth against me, and, well, you can see how Charby does here =P), so look out for our sets against him they should be interesting.

btw don't mind Charby, he's pretty easy to offend. I think he just didn't realize you had only watched the two Leon sets that are in the Snake section atm.

I realize that 3.5 is new and a lot of characters got changed but like...

what's the deal with Bowser's coverage of players, or lack thereof rather? Not to talk ****, but I seriously don't understand why either of those players are in the list.* I know a good number of people, including myself, whose Bowsers I'd argue are better. Lucas' section I can understand being completely scarce, but yeah. If you wanted to argue the adjustment period, then a lot of other characters should show this scarcity too.

Or does this thread just not get updated much? Do not many Bowser players exist? I thought there were a lot.

*Edit: Referring to the players inside the spoilers. I'd assumed if a player was listed, there would be a video of them. Guess not. Still, I don't think Bowser got changed enough to justify not listing his previous players, unless they stopped playing recently/haven't been to a 3.5 tourney.

I go through tons of videos when I update this. I try to look at all of them as much as possible, but ultimately it's a better guarantee of good play if they win. Is it possible they may be playing amazing even when they lose? Absolutely, but sometimes that's hard to gauge. To counter this, if players feel like they or another have played well in a particular match where they lose and link me to it, then I will absolutely put it in the OP.

There are still plenty of matches in the OP where the player linked in the video loses.

I haven't listed previous Bowser players (ex. Kirk, Nick Riddle) because they haven't been to a tourney yet (that I've found anyway), not because they're not good enough.

If you want to provide more videos, that's fine.

Eisen · Dec 13, 2014

Huh, that's surprising. After looking, there aren't nearly as many 3.5 tournament videos as I expected.

Oh, well. Thanks for letting me know, @

Btw guys, I can't update until I get my computer fixed. Hopefully however I'll be able to update things before Friday.

Sorry.

Not in 3.5, but JZ has consistently beaten Zinth (who was on the 3.0 top 5 Marth list) every time they played for the last few months. I don't think he played any Marths at The Salty Runback, but he hung pretty tight with Sethlon's Roy. I can't wait for the matches to be uploaded.

SupremoRemo · Dec 16, 2014

I know it's off of a phone, but it's one of the more recent matches I've played.

Here's me against Fortune at Xanadu. December 9, 2014. (Placed 4th in tourney out of 35.)

Player spotlight:
Fuzzyness went insane in GF of a UK tournament, taking a set off Professor Pro and bringing him to game five, last stock of set 2, Pro was at high percent.

He still lost, but he left a mark with his Falcon.

KayB · Dec 17, 2014

Also it took me like an hour and half to update this

Shokio · Dec 18, 2014

OverZaelous was small this week so the win doesn't mean much, but I got some good ZSS gameplay today and came back to 6-0 Hamyojo after losing to him in Winner's Finals 3-2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m16B-HOD8Zc (vs. Hamyojo)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VymIs7mvXi8 (vs. Hamoyojo)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFQZ67pQuzA (vs. HvikLink)

Also do we include money matches here? All-Star money matches? xD. Did a Bo5 with Hamyojo, contains Olimar, Wolf, and Roy footage alongside ZSS, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K91GgUcTHwM

Oi vey. Christmas came early for ya. Hopefully tonight I'll make some IaB footage.

NeonApophis · Dec 19, 2014

Here's some recent footage of my 3.5 Wolf. I'm expecting to be the best Wolf within the next month or so.

I'll probably add youtube links for these matches once they get uploaded.

FlashingFire · Dec 21, 2014

Hey @

KayB I noticed that Cactuarz is listed in the Missouri section. He is in fact an Oklahoma player, though he rarely enters local PM events because he prefers Melee (it's kinda sad; the dude is incredible with ZSS).

the_irish_dude · Dec 21, 2014

HBox 2 confirmed topped jiggs after winning Forte 2 in PM

Kipcom · Dec 21, 2014

So I'm not very good, but I'm the only Lucas main left in existence, so I think I'm the best by default.
Don't worry you'll get 3.5 vids of my awfulness one day :yeahboi:

I think someone said it was confirmed he stopped playing P:M. Something about Smash 4 destroying his tech skill. Idk?

Soft Serve · Dec 23, 2014
