if you're so afraid of going marth/sheik then go fox. I hear Europe is hit or miss on that MU. (except armada/Ice)

Hax is a good choice for crews, much better than I would be. Europe is super strong vs Marth/Sheik, but they are super weak against Falcon and characters they don't play often. You need to stay away from Marths and Sheiks.

Mango
PP
Hbox
Axe
Hax
S2J
Wobbles
a top Fox (Jman, Lucky, Lovage, something like that. Probably Jman)
Shroomed

pick 8 of those 9

something along those lines would be the best. I'm serious.

Your Marth may be a bad choice but overall I think you should still qualify.

I'm gonna work on this over the weekend and submit the list at the end of it hopefully.

Holy **** this is the typical emo M2k.

GUYS I'M SERIOUSLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN THE CREW BATTLE OF 8 PEOPLE! (EVEN THOUGH I AM TOP 4 IN THE US)

EVEN THOUGH I DO WELL IN CREWS, I WILL ONLY TAKE 1 STOCK (PLS GIVE ME COMPLIMENTS I'M FISHING SO HARD).

PLS GUYS DON'T LET ME PLAY THEN I CAN HAVE A PITY PARTY ABOUT HOW I'M BECOMING WORSE AT SMASH AND THUS I CAN CREATE A QUITTING THREAD.

-___- I'm not saying it for that, I actually think the 2 characters I use are bad against Europe. Has nothing to do with ability, it has to do with the characters I and others play.
oh look guys

it's john

you know someone made a thread looking for you right?

you and kevin should both play falcon. europe sucks vs falcon and you can both play him well enough that you might do better with him than your mains.

gotta hit that soft spot.

man you guys are all *******s, this is part of the reason I don't want to even play for america in the first place
M2K:

WOW I can't believe you guys think I'm good enough to be on a crew battle. I've also never threatened to quit or have ever emo'd out, so you guys calling me out on this is totally uncalled for.

lol. m2k before every national and some regionals you get on and say you are quitting and how bad you are.

you still have a ton of fans. as soon as you stop whining about this game and your skill, the sooner people will stop *****ing about you.

Try to have a little confidence in yourself. You clearly have the capacity to perform well and beat the best. If you try your best, then who cares?

a top Fox. You happen to have a top fox Jason T_T
Also, why are you so hesitant to use your sheik and marth? Europe is "good" against them, but if you come in against people that aren't from Europe (since it's the World, not just Europe), then you can **** them and get "free" stocks.

regardless of how good Europe is against your two "main" mains right now, you have an outstanding record in crews (except maybe that one time vs IC's). Some go so far as to claim that you are the best teams and crews player in the world.

Therefore, I submit

(in no particular order)
1. Dr. PP
2. Mango
3. Mew2King
4. Hungrybox
5. Jman/Cactuar
6. Hax/S2J
7. Wobbles
8. Axe/Taj/Shroomed

2. Mango
3. Mew2King
4. Hungrybox
5. Jman
6. Hax
7. s2j
8. Axe

alternates:

wobbles
Darc

List was so easy.


everyone knows that every continent other than the US struggle vs CF and puff. thats a fact. axe will send them for a loop too. And like who else plays against an IC like wobbles. they are the ones I would expect to turn the tide in crews if the world and can magically manage to slow down mango or m2k

from a fan's point of view (someone who is going to be watchin stream/recorded vids from this tournament), it would be more hype to watch top players vs top players. regardless of continent. Example: PP vs Armada would be more exciting to watch than Mango vs zghetto (no offense to you). Close matches where the outcome isnt guaranteed is what creates hype. if it was going to be 3vs3 in USA vs World, then it might be more hype cause anything can happen. but extending it to 8vs8 is not going to create the hype that the fans are looking for. the 8th best in the USA roster (lets just say its axe for arguments sake) is at the level of the worlds first or second best player. (yes, i do believe from 1-8 spot of the usa roster has a chance of beating armada in a crew battle. anything can happen and usa is just that stacked).

with that stated, like i said earlier, spectators like to watch top players vs top players. id much rather watch mango defend the WC vs PP on the EC, and KK defend canada vs amsah on the worlds team. agreeing with what hbox said earlier, it'd be more epic and hype to have regional crews.

now i know alex already said there will not be time for that... ON THE STREAM. so why not go ahead and have the "exhibition" on stream, but what is stopping someone from bringing their own setup/recording and going to a free tv on saturday and doing regional crews? if you top players attending apex want to have regionals that bad, then do something about it. as a fan of melee, watchin regional crews a week after apex is over is still like finding gold. whether its live or not, just getting to see it is what is important (to the viewers).

adressing canada in the crew battle. just because canada is buddy buddy with the USA, doesnt mean they dont deserve to be able to represent "the world". if america says no for canada to join their crew and dont allow canada to be in the world crew, then wtf is canada? (and dont say a block of ice)

last paragraph, m2k u r too good of a player to not be in a crew battle representing your nation. and your argument for not wanting to be in it is kinda bogus. armada has calle W practise, its like telling PP not to play vs armada for that reason. just because some players on the worlds roster are good vs shiek/marth, doesnt mean they will beat you.

I wonder what PP's strategy will be for whom to play first and whom to "save". I would lead with M2K, because he will take at least 3-4 stocks, but there's always the outside chance that he's still one of the best crew players in the country and beast the world out of 8 or 10. M2K needs to play not because his characters are a good match against the other team. M2K needs to play because he's M2K. Come on, bro, GIVE US a reason to cheer for you.

Watching that again...wow. Simply superb. Granted, something like that couldn't happen in today's metagame, but M2K is a monster regardless.

The reason for that might be because it has to fit into a certain time frame.
adding 8 stocks to the crew battle will make the whole thing like, 20 minutes longer at most if you count the time in-between matches loooool
