ZeRo To Not Attend Paragon

[Xermo]

"I'm so stressed from always winning all the time, man. I risk losing on stream so I'll sit this one out."

At least now it'll actually be fun to watch a smash4 tourney.

 

[atreyujames]

Are Esam and Mr. R going to be there? If so, they have a much higher chance of winning then Nairo. Esam practically wrecked Nairo, and so did Mr. R (not at SSC, but at evo and another canadian tournament nobody cares about)

I'll have you know Alberta Beatdown V was great fun. Not very many high profile players. But fun none the less. Especially since Edmonton rarely has large tournaments

 

[Effay]

Well time for Nairo to take paragon.

Esam*



As long as he's attending, Nairo has no chance of beating him.

 

[LRodC]

Having a perfect record in anything is a ton of pressure. I'd do the same thing in his situation. You can't forget he's also a human being and nobody's perfect. He's going to lose one day and then the illusion of "perfection" will be replaced with "excellence". He's going to always be a great player no matter what happens.

I'm not belittleing, it. It's just that it was sorta outshone by PAX. I watched a good portion of it and it was very good.

 

[M15t3R E]

Look at it from his perspective. We've all hit that rut, stressed and unable to focus on what we love for one reason or another. It is a frustrating experience. Take into account the fact that he has a girlfriend and it elevates this issue by magnitudes.
I rather like the situation now. We don't know precisely how the tournament will unfold. That's a good thing in my book.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

Gotta love the smash community for the ground breaking headline "news" that we all follow

ZeRo is feeling tired.

Sakurai says "screw melee, lol"

 

[Spooks]

I love watching ZeRo but it will be nice to see someone else win a big tournament

 

[shadenexus18]

ZeRo isn't attending the tournament? No Diddy Kong marathon you say?

 

[Meister Zeigler]

I just want to see someone win with a Low or Mid tier character for once.

 

[SwordOfSeals]

Wow he sounds a lot like Mr. Sakurai with all the stress and I need a break stuff lol dang

 

[ToonKake]

Looks like Paragon is gonna be VERY HYPE I can DIGG IT !!! XD

 

[Kwyk]

The best deserves a break, and who can tell him otherwise?

~Great now how will I be able to take out Zero~

Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooo

-Orange boy

Good job if u get the reference

 

[The_Woebegone_Jackal]

So without Zero its basically a toss up between Nairo, Esam, Dabuz, Vinnie, Mr. R, and Ally? Depending on who ends up being there of course. This could be on heck of a ride in top 8.

Zero definitely deserves the break and this is absolutely no slight against him, but it will be fun to see who can take it in his absence.

 

[ewItsBoo]

All aboard the ESAM hype train!

 

[BlueXenon]

I wish top players could do what they want and not have to explain themselves. I think that they feel pressured to go to every major event and stream frequently because they have fans constantly watching them, even if that's not what they want to do.

 

[Darklink401]

Looks like someone's scared of Vinnie

In all seriousness tho, I hope Zero comes back stronger than ever.

 

[TheFlyingCule]

Watch Nairo win Paragon, then he takes off a mask to reveal that he was Zero all along

 

[xDizxy]

He saw dizxy entered the tournament and he wussed out

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

ZeRo is not going to attend Paragon so he can go soul hunting with Diddy again!

 

[ShadowKing]

At least there will be someone fresh winning the smash4 tournament

 

[MewtwoForce]

My 2 cents. I'm very surprised at how the some of the community has responded to Zero winning consistently in smash. It seems in a nutshell the majority opinion is its a bad thing that hes winning all the time.The world champion should be celebrated and adored for his work and skill and contributions to the community. Not seen as this gross annoyance because he wins too much.

What about when mango was winning consistently? I'm pretty sure the majority opinion was that people loved seeing mango win again and again when he was on point. Plenty of other world champions got this treatment. Why not zero?

I mean heres just some of what hes doing. Zero is showing us world champion levels of play consistently and giving us quite a show every tournament. His discoveries from his hardwork are giving the rest of us a smarter idea of how to play the game at a higher level and a better idea of what we need to REALLY do to win tournaments. This benefits us and lets us play the game better, which in turn makes smash 4 more fun for us. Zero is also helping to give back to advance the metagame faster than it would be by making tutorial vids and keeping us entertained with youtube vids he uploads.

Zero you have my support. Enjoy your break my friend.

 

[LancerStaff]

Looks like M2K scared Zero out of taking Smash painfully serious.

Gotta set a bad example so others know to not follow suit.

 

[kesterstudios]

well it looks like nairo is winning paragon 2015.

 

[Stiggy]

As sad as I am that Zero will not be wrecking house at Paragon, better that he do something like this than burn out and loose the will to play. Here's to hoping that you can come back strong as ever after this.
Best wishes

 

[Firebert95]

I was never upset really that Zero was winning. Sure I was rooting for ESAM but Zero did deserve all those tournaments. I don't think anyone in the Sm4sh scene is more dedicated to practice than he is. It will be nice for him to have this break.

 

[The 0ne]

Well, if ZeRo isn't going then anyone can win! Personally I'm routing for Nairo.

[Defex]

Hes scared because Vinnie about rekt him.
He knows his time is limited to be the best.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]

I have a friend whose main issue with the samsh community is the level to which bad players suck top players *****. And well after reading these comments i can't really disagree anymore.

Like really? Its big news that homie isnt going to a tournament, because hes tired? Esports is a ****ing joke

 

[FallofBrawl]

Dang, who will take Paragon then?
The extremely stylish Nairo?
The one who came the closest, Vinnie?
The one that took the other set, Mr. ConCon?
The super efficient Mr. R?
The newly crowned Mew2Kong?
The revitalized Dabuz?
The quick witted ESAM?
The Peach taking tourneys in SoCal, SlayerZ?
The seasoned smash veteran, LarryLurr?
The Canadian Mario, Ally?

Or maybe Leffen...

 

[_Wombo_]

I have no hate against but he's been on a massive winning streak and it's gonna be great to see someone else win Smash 4 for a change.

 

[Ponch0]

Idk guys, Mr.R is pretty good.

 

[BadDeku]

I'd actually like to hear more about who people think will win paragon now that Zero is taking a break.

My bets:

Most likely--Esam. Hes improved the most lately. I honestly think he'll win.

Second--Nairo. Maybe not second and more like third but...I'm a fanboy.

Third--Mr. R. He took out Nairo CONVINCINGLY the other day. I'm scared of the Sheik apocalypse '~'

Who else do you guys think could take it? I honestly can't see Dabuzz getting past Nairo at all, and that's if he can keep up with Esam and Mr. R. Vinnie has been getting good though so maybe even he could take it. I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone random from the west coast take it.

Pretty sure M2K mains Mario now. I've seen it a couple times though it's hard to find since he doesn't seem to attend that many tournaments anymore, but he's very good with him, better than Ally ever was.
I'd love to see M2K pull a win. If not, here's hoping for Mr. R and his Ryu (though I'm obviously biased towards their characters.)

Hope you feel better, ZeRo.

 

[JeBBster]

I think either Nairo or ESAM will win Paragon, but tbh I think it's anyone's game, upsets are crazy in Smash 4, it would be cool to see M2K win Smash 4 but I doubt it. I can't wait to see who makes Top 8 :D

 

[Red Pittoo ~ Rekt]

Best wishes

 

[BlazingFireOmega]

I wish I can attend cool far away tournaments like these. Would Love to show off my MegaMan. Still though, I'd probably get my ass handed to me by a pro in the end.

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

It's okay. If he doesn't feel like playing, he can't force himself to do it. Also, it will be nice to see another guy/gal winning
