UGC Smash Open Thread

[TDK]

This seems like a big enough event to warrant its own thread.

Upsets:

K.I.D Goggles Beats Vinnie
DarkShad 3-2 Larry
iStudying 3-2 Ally
ESAM 3-0 Salem

 

[|RK|]

Ally vs iStudying 2-2 right now!

iSTUDYING WINS

 

[Nathan Richardson]

Just because i'm new to this, what does UGN stand for? Ultimate Gaming Nationals?

 

[ARISTOS]

That was crazy. The anti-Mario meta is growing

 

[Fenny]

iStudying 3-2 Ally


Bless up Greninja mains and Europe denizens like myself alike

 

[soniczx123]

So iStud just beat Ally... EU still free though kappa lmao

 

[Jaguar360]

So, someone was saying something about a breakout stateside performance from iStudying?

 

[TDK]

I really wish I watched iStudying vs Ally and not Day getting bodied by Nairo >.>

 

[Nathan Richardson]

I just checked and there's a typo on thread. There's no such thing as a UGN smash open the technical definition is UGC!

But that's a minor nitpick.

 

[my_T]

isn't greninja considered one of marios difficult MU's?

 

[soniczx123]

isn't greninja considered one of marios difficult MU's?

It's pretty hard for Mario. Greninja having great mobility + long range makes very hard to Mario to get in or even catch up to him.

 

[ThePokéYoshi]

It's great to finally see iStudying do work again after the hype kinda died down. He got 25th at Pound and 17th at GOML but he could possibly get Top 16 here.

 

[TDK]

Marss 3-0 Harlock

Fatality 2-1 Colinies

Samsora 2-0 Poyo

Mr. R 2-0 Flow-yo

 

[ぱみゅ]

Took the liberty to move some posts here, it seemed more appropriate.
Anyway, I guess it's a couple more sets until we get our wave of Winners' Finals, get ready for some more upsets.

 

[FamilyTeam]

I will just say this.
I have never heard anyone say Greninja vs, Mario was anything but an even matchup until some 30 seconds ago.
I now predict absolutely everyone is going to say that Mario loses this matchup badly and completely ignore the fact that every time Ally got in, he relentlessly destroyed Greninja for some 5 seconds and all the matches except the 2 stock were fairly close.

That. Was. Nuts.

EDIT: Captain Zack 3-2 Fatality

 

[JB333]

Zinoto 3-0 Samsora

Surprised that Fatality almost beat Zack; that matchup isn't the best for Falcon.

ESAM up on Salem 2-0.

Much as it's a meme these days, his SDI is impeccable.

ESAM WINS 3-1!

 

[Fenny]

ESAM 3-1 Salem

Salem got so greedy with that last Witch Time rofl

 

[Nathan Richardson]

Wait Salem lost already? Isn't Salem amazing with Bayo?

 

[Fenny]

This was so gross

Wait Salem lost already? Isn't Salem amazing with Bayo?

ESAM's amazing SDI and patient play won out.

 

[Das Koopa]

esam 3-0 salem

don't let your memes be dreams

 

[Das Koopa]

Just saw this was a thread.

I think my comments on Europe getting better might be validated with iStudying taking it over Ally. It's also possible Ally's just not that good anymore lol

Ally's actually said that he hates the Greninja matchup as Mario before, and a few Greninja players thought Greninja beat Mario before this happened.

However, Mario's damage output and Cape (which Ally wasn't using enough of against iStudying) make the matchup really annoying for both sides and Stroder and some of the Greninja Discord think Mario beats Greninja.

It's probably even in the end, but both characters give each other a hard time and if I had to personally give an advantage to a character, I'd give it to Greninja since he just spaces out Mario and manuevers around him so well.

 

[JB333]

Pikachu top 2 confirmed... but in all seriousness, Esam's been playing good today, and his sdi is on point.

Oh well, it looks like some of the top tiers are dropping out somewhat early. Can't wait to see the results when everything is said and done!

 

[|RK|]

Bayonetta is Mew2King's kryptonite

I thought it was just a bad MU for Cloud in general.

 

[Das Koopa]

It's not good but Tweek has proven it can be managed since he's taken sets off Salem as recently as KTAR. Mew2KIng has lost to every Bayonetta under the sun at this point

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Does anyone have a list of who is in Winners , Losers and Out anywhere and what the brackets are at thus point? Thanks

 

[Fenny]

I thought it was just a bad MU for Cloud in general.

He is, but look at how well an untilted Tweek does against Salem. It's not great for Cloud but it's certainly doable

M2K doesn't like getting pitted against her whatsoever

 

[Nathan Richardson]

UGC hasn't wrapped up yet so we won't know until more matches have played out.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Oh so it just started got ya. So Salem is just in losers now right? , not out of the tourney

 

[Ziodyne 21]

He is, but look at how well an untilted Tweek does against Salem. It's not great for Cloud but it's certainly doable

M2K doesn't like getting pitted against her whatsoever

I think it safe to say that Tweek is the best solo main right now.

What ever the case is, the rest of the games look very interesting.
Starting with Losers 2 a lot of players with potential of placing Top 12 will begin to get eliminated.

Isn't Chuck Nasty a main?

Yeah they have - don't remember when though. Think it was EVO pools but don't quote me on that.
