Top ten at Apex 2013 predictions.

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

Me, on the other hand, was playing the best I ever have in my life despite not having slept.
Oh, and the day afterwards I had to leave because I got sick (i even had a fever). At the point that we where playing I had already started getting sick.

For those who missed it me and another unknown player (who is actually amazing) almost beat leffen in teams. I shall repeat this several times over to torment leffen.

[KrazyKnux]

Hey man, if you're gonna brag about your accomplishments, why dont you tell everyone how you [...]

Totally thought you were gonna post that story about how leffen got "owned" LOL

 

[Landry]

[t3h Icy]

Most of the people in this thread would get bodied by Vman, Axe, and Taj too lol.

AZ gonna take Apex. What up.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Tiers don't exist in Arizona. Only rage.

 

[Dr Peepee]

We need more American-Euro meatriders to handle these American-Mexi meatriders

this thread is all out of wack right now too biased imo

 

[B_AWAL]

PP dont lose to Javi again... -___-

GFs will b PP vs Mango & I cant wait 2 see that

 

[Dr Peepee]

okay deal dude =)

 

[J.Shadows]

Btw Westballz is getting top 3

 

[The Business]

I approve.

7 minute grand finals if 1 set
15 minute grand finals if 2 sets

apex 2012: 1h 14m grand finals

 

[Landry]

I hope we get to see an Armada vs Hungrybox rematch at some point during bracket. I seriously think there's no way Hbox is going to lose to YL this year.

 

[t3h Icy]

Btw Westballz is getting top 3

There is no top 3 in Pools; it's either 2nd or 4th since Winners' Finals and Losers' Semis aren't played out.

 

[J.Shadows]

I'm talking about overall in bracket

And yet he doesn't get it.

 

[leffen]

lol mikehaggar. always so butthurt


times are desperate when you have to brag about losing and getting sick and getting your dad to pick you up from the tournament

 

[t3h Icy]

But to be serious, Westballz is really good at his maximum, but he's always choking. Wobbles talked about him in particular on some livestream and mentioned that he got too good too fast and never really developed the right mental state for the game and stuff like that. I think a little humility would do wonders for him, but he usually get angry and stuff after losing. He won't place too high in my opinion.

If there were to be a Falco causing upsets, I'd say Stric.

 

[Jiv]

Didn't mango completely mop the floor with him like a month ago

 

[leffen]

Westballz handles losing too badly to keep improving. The way he johns after every bad performance and how he takes nothing from his losses is gonna be his fall imo.

 

[B_AWAL]

Looking at the APex Points

PP is #1 so he would face Hbox#5 or Armada #6
M2K is #2 so he'd likely face Mango(#3) in WinnersSemis

The Elite 4 & M2K are just too good.

I honestly want to see M2K take it. I feel like he embodies smash in general.

But I LOVE watching PP play!

Mango & Armada are just... OMG

Hbox is FL so I hafta go for the Hometeam

I want Javi & Leffen to do well bcuz they are fresh faces.

Just gonna let you know

you have no idea what you're talking about in regards to weston's personality.

I get this is a burn but can u elaborate?

Probably not. Wobbles explained it a lot better than my paraphrasing.

I get this is a burn but can u elaborate?

The bracket pools are played up to Winners' Finals and Losers' Semis, and then they stop. The players in Winners' are 1st seeds, and the players in Losers' are 2nd seeds. Speaking of just the rankings they get in the bracket, technically there are two 2nd places and two 4th places.

 

[B_AWAL]

I get this is a burn but can u elaborate?

Except they posted and this isn't what they are doing.

You play up to WFs. Both guys in winners are 1st seeds.

You play up to LSF. Both guys in losers are 2nd seeds.

So it'll end with 64 1sts and 64 2nds.

Here u go

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

lol mikehaggar. always so butthurt

man, i sure should feel bad over getting sick and having a nice dad that picked me up because i was. you sure got me there!
speaking of bragging about losing:

just went 3-4 vs armada in wfs (pal).

and what am i butthurt about btw? thinking beer is 80% appleliquorvodka and getting placebodrunk from it? oh wait

Westballz handles losing too badly to keep improving. The way he johns after every bad performance and how he takes nothing from his losses is gonna be his fall imo.

yes, unlike you who always handles all losses very maturely
did you have soap between your fingers this grand finals aswell? (this was a real john from leffen once, im not joking)

 

[Landry]

PP is #1 so he would face Hbox#5 or Armada #6
M2K is #2 so he'd likely face Mango(#3) in WinnersSemis

Alex Strife said that seeding will not entirely be based on Apex points. This is good because the current seeding would be kinda whack.

edit: omg, MikeHaggar and Leffen can the two of you just hook up already? all this tension is not healthy...

 

[oliman]

I think Armada has a lot of threats. PP came really close last time, Hbox is starting to beat Ylink, Mango is mango (always at least a little bit of a threat), Javi i dunno about his peach game but... -2nd place

hbox loses solidly to mango and pp- not going to win, sorry - 4th place

mango has armada and pp to worry about but thats pretty much it- 1st or 3rd place

pp is probably the least threatened in terms of skill gap- armada has a slight edge over him and idk bout mango. may lose to m2k tho - 1st or 3rd place

m2k has ICs, pp, armada (not gonna beat armada fo sho), mango, hbox, and kind of hax to worry about. I dont expect him to crack top 4, maybe even top 5/6 - 6th place

javi doesn't have the element of suprise anymore, solidly loses to mango and m2k, but is anyone's game for the rest of the top. definitely gonna beat hax again, either 5th place or like 10th place

hax is a threat imo to armada and m2k. won't get top 6 but can be a game changer here- might send m2k or armada to losers, and javi will get to go to the top if he beats hax.

 

[Ryobeat]

javi doesn't have the element of suprise anymore, solidly loses to mango and m2k, but is anyone's game for the rest of the top. definitely gonna beat hax again, either 5th place or like 10th place

wholeheartedly disagree here. He lost to M2K in FRIENDLIES. Javi was laughing IN tournament, these were just FRIENDLIES, and M2k plays serious in those. You can't base it all on that. NOR can you base it off of 2 games vs mango. AND game 1 was last hit, and i forgot game 2. I remember a 2 stock, but i feel like an SD happened.

 

[commonyoshi]

did you have soap between your fingers this grand finals aswell? (this was a real john from leffen once, im not joking)

Forget mango vs pp vs armada. Mike Swaggar and Leffen is melee's greatest rivalry.

 

[ajp_anton]

I hope we get to see an Armada vs Hungrybox rematch at some point during bracket. I seriously think there's no way Hbox is going to lose to YL this year.

Tradition has been that Armada meets the previous US winner sometime around Quarters. Not sure what happens when Armada was the previous winner though...

 

[_Rocky_]

yeah agree on armada losing to hax or s2j if he runs into them this time, his falcon game didnt seem too hot this weekend

 

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

For some reason I just don't see Armada taking it this year. I highly doubt Hungrybox will lose to young link again (armada's peach probably has a better shot) and Dr. PP seems like he is very close to breaking through and only a win from him could change the best player in the world discussion. Mango is beating Hungybox though and is a wildcard in consideration with the other 2. It all depends on bracket but here goes. Javi will do worse here than last time obviously, Armada>Mango>Hungybox it seems, so it should come down to Dr.PP vs Armada in a hype rematch of Pound V grand finals.

1. Dr.PP
2. Armada
3. Mango
4. Hungrybox
5. M2K
5. Hax/Shroomed/KirbyKaze
7. Hax/Shroomed/KirbyKaze
7. Hax/Shroomed/KirbyKaze

Really hoping to see Mango vs Javi and Hax vs Leffen

 

[Dark Hart]

Aarosmashguy vs hanky panky gfs calling it now

 

[Landry]

It really will all depend on how the bracket breaks down.

Mango has been beating HBox, at least this summer he had some pretty solid wins. PP has the edge on HBox too. HBox has always done really well at Apex, though. Really, he could win either of these matchups although it would be a slight up hill battle.

PP and Mango can go either way. I don't think Kings of Cali necessarily means PP has the edge on Mango now. I think that this is pretty much going to come down to who is playing better.

Armada has an edge vs PP and Mango right now. Both of them are really close, though. We'll see how it breaks down. PP seems like he might be prepared to take our Armada this time.

HBox has the edge on Armada, imo. Sure, Armada won last year but that hour and half set was anything but decisive. I don't think YL is going to beat HBox again and if Armada decides to go Peach then he'll have to overcome a tricky matchup.

M2K is the wildcard. His recent sets against PP and Mango have all been pretty close. If he maintains composure some of these 5 games sets could switch and go his way. I even think he has a shot against Armada, especially if he goes Sheik instead of switching to Fox (the worst of his 3 characters imo). Of the top 4, I think HBox is going to be the hardest one for M2K to top.

And then of course you have the guys who are right outside of the too 5 but could make upsets. Javi, KirbyKaze, Axe and a few other people all have chances to make a splash especially if they get good matchups through the bracket.

tl;dr - it could go either way, mannnn
