UGC Smash Open Thread

[Fenny]

Nairo 3-0 Zinoto

No, not a typo.

Yes, Bowser.

 

[ShadowGuy1]

Nairo's Bowser is pretty good l. Unexpected result considering CEO.

 

[Fenny]

NAKAT 3-2 Saj and 3-0 Ksev

Mr R 3-2 Kameme

Salem 3-1 Vinnie

Marss 3-2 MKLeo

Captain Zack 3-2 iStudying

ESAM apparently Mega Evolved this tourney, since he's up 2-0 against VoiD

Also, look at all of thes game 5s

EDIT: ESAM 3-2 VoiD

He's playing immaculate this tournament

 

[Shady Shaymin]

Aba learned the matchup.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Hmm maybe that whole won vs in the MU was just a meme.

 

[Illusion.]

It was, in fact, I had already mentioned that not too long ago.

 

[Kung Fu Treachery]

Abadango makes Mewtwo's Nair look so good. Like, it's a good move but easy to interrupt with any disjoint, and yet he gets so many of them. Probably the threat of Fair and some tricky movement.

And maybe Pikachu wins the MU. Small character meaning SDI is easier, projectile, mobility... etc.

Anyways, Leo's out to Darkshad.

Y'all saying this like its a side note wtf

Lol, Darkshad turned up this weekend. If he can keep it up, maybe he'll show the consistency Trela couldn't.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Gotta make it a sidenote to keep up the narrative that Ryu's not a stupid good character.

Though Leo did SD in one of those games. Better to die than to be killed.

It's certainly not in his favor. Shadow Sneak helps, as iStudying was able to showcase, but Bayo's Witch Time, edgeguarding, difficult-to-edgeguard recovery and other nutty stuff make the matchup difficult. I still think it's even though, Greninja can get up in neutral with heavy use of dash/pivot grab, Water Shurikens, RAR b-air and jab rather than the N-airs and F-airs he usually likes and, again, Shadow Sneak HC does matter. Captain Zack, RiotLettuce and Ghost think it's in Bayo's favor, but Pink Fresh, ikep, saj, Some, Oisiitofu and I believe Salem think it's even.

Winners Semis in Top 8

ZeRo vs Mr. E
Abadango vs ESAM

What a world we live in to see ESAM AND Mr. E in top 8 at such a stacked event. Pretty crazy.

 

[Deleted member]

CaptainZack 3-0's Darkshad , finishing at 9th.

This matchup does not look good for Ryu at all.

It isn't.

 

[ぱみゅ]

The world of Smash is truly a wonderful thing.

btw, Darkshad clearly didn't know when to punish Bayo's landing lag, that ended up being very costly.

 

[420quickscoper]

Larry Lurr 3-2 Mr. R in the most tense last game ever.

 

[QualityQ]

The top 8 are eight different characters.

 

[420quickscoper]

Top 8 Losers Side
Nairo VS Captain Zack
VoiD VS Larry Lurr

 

[Ziodyne 21]

All dfferent characters in the top 8 and is not one of them? Praise Be!

Cloud (at least as a main) has had a bad time at UGC . Thr patterns of Clouds continued sucess mostly based on the sheer amount of players using him as a secondary/pocket rather than sucess as a solo character

 

[~ Gheb ~]

VoiD VS Larry Lurr

RIP Larry.

 

[Shady Shaymin]

these ****ing interviews

 

[Fenny]

So top 8 is

Probably the most diverse set of finalists in a while.

 

[Das Koopa]

Seems like an easy win for ZeRo unless Mr. E pulls off another big upset. They did go to game 5 last hit at Shine.

ESAM would get bopped and Abadango has a history of struggling to beat ZeRo. Unless his MM is really polished I don't see it.

A lot of losers bracket could do it but well it's losers bracket so lol

 

[Minordeth]

Nairo confirmed as the dirtiest opportunist in a two stock over captain zack in game 1.

Update: captain zack pulls out a game two pretty solidly,

Update 2: Nairo updates himself and is playing super smart, punishing Zack with multiple strong OoS boost kicks. Zack gets caught slipping a little too much and loses the round.

Update 3: Nairo playing absurdly confident. He has Zack downloaded.

And that's that. Nairo 3-1 over Captain Zack.

 

[ARISTOS]

lol that last game was decided by the Smashville platform

 

[Shady Shaymin]

chat gets waaaay too triggered by diddy tbh

 

[ARISTOS]

Diddy is triggering lol

Mr. E got entirely shut down on the ledge, actually disgusting

 

[ARGHETH]

Aba reverse 3-0s Esam!

Nairo's Bowser is actually ****ing insane

 

[ARGHETH]

Nairo reverse 3-0s Mr. E...with Bowser.
What is this tournament.

 

[Goombo]

Nairo's Bowser is actually ****ing insane

Actually E is just playing stupidly reckless.

 

[Das Koopa]

 

[Fenny]

Did Mr E just get grabbed like 4 times in a row until he died

 

[ARGHETH]

Did Mr E just get grabbed like 4 times in a row until he died

Yup. He was playing really scared near the end.
And Esam double eliminates Void!

 

[Fenny]

Bowser in Smash 4 is scary in general

When he isn't getting bodied he kills people stupidly early lol. Hardly helps he has a kill confirm off grab, which also happens to be one of the best grabs in the game.

 

[The-Technique]

I feel like Aba should have stuck with Mewtwo the whole set. Even despite his awful record against Diddy.

 

[420quickscoper]

ZeRo 3-0d Abadango again... but, MAN. That last game was literally a grab away for Abadango. He almost made it.

 

[MachoCheeze]

Why is Diddy's fair the way it is, man? I just don't get it.
