First game went in the most predictable way there is. Hopefully Axe Leffen is better.

 

[FZZ]

Leffen is cooking

Cheffen???????

 

[woodland]

As much as I hate saying it, feels like Axe has been near his ceiling for awhile now. He always plays good enough to get pretty high (with a few upsets here and there), but always feels like he peters out against the usual crowd. Sucks cause I love seeing Pikachu up there.

iff the comments about stuff like him not watching tapes are true, he's probably gonna have to fix up his training habits to go further.

This is everyone in the top 11-7

I want to say this but its been almost a decade since the dominance of the gods

I think if anyone breaks through it'll be a new player and not someone who's been playing 5+ years

Plup is the most likely imo, he just needs to beat Armada but even then he's been playing a looong time

Ah, that would make sense. I haven't been following the scene recently, but his play in this match just looked way sloppier than a lot of last year ;\ Need a year of Amsa/Axe lol

that wasnt exactly his A game there

LUL.

yeah its weird, being a sub to his stream, hes always playing whacky characters like ganon etc
its all in good fun but it would be nice to see him playing seriously once in a while

 

[chaosblade]

Plup looking strong.

M2K not looking bad either, really good Sheik ditto.

 

[Anteo]

I look away for a couple of minutes and M2K is up 3 stocks to 1??

100k barrier broken and its only Winners Semis

[Anth0ny]

the genesis special coming up

 

[chaosblade]

Am I the only one that appreciates that Phil and HMW have been doing more top 8 commentary at majors recently? I like them a lot more than Toph and Scar.

no you're not alone, scar talking about himself or completely random things gets a bit irksome

 

[chaosblade]

Mango not feeling the ledge dash? Struggling with these tournament winners and slow get ups.

 

[FZZ]

M2K

I BELIEVE IN YOUR MARTH

they're way better than scar and toph, and should call ever genesis top 8 out of respect



AND AS I POST THIS THEY'RE REPLACING THEM WITH SCAR AND TOPH WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

 

[Pappasman]

I actually like scar and toph paired up with other people, but together I'm not so hot on them anymore.

Scar and blur is the real worst commentary pairing.

This top 8 is fire so far though, great matches.

 

[FZZ]

Viewership dropped when they switched off HMW & Phil

 

[chaosblade]

So far M2K Plup and Mango Armada have been good, the other two sets were kind of blowouts.

Getting to the predictable part now though, other than Mango Leffen.

Is there a Smash 4 competitive thread? Don't like watching Melee, but can't find one for that game.

Not aware of one, I think they got discussed in the Smash 4 general thread?


And that upthrow, whyyyy

 

[Bakkus]

Hbox back to being lucky as hell.

 

[chaosblade]

Scar with the most awkward shoutout/advertisement and Toph making it worse.



Mango looking good, but Leffen is too.

 

[fredrancour]

no. or at least, not that i've seen as someone who watches both. i think the general smash community thread would have posters who watch smash 4 competitive.



EDIT: Plot armor might be activating here....

edit edit: or i jinxed it.


edit edit edit or i didn't plot armor confirmed

 

[Anth0ny]

MANGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[chaosblade]

THE COMEBACK

Mango, oh my god

 

[Chase17]

Wow!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

oh fuck

 

[Codeblue]

Jesus.

 

[emb]

WOAH

 

[chaosblade]

PLOT ARMOR TOO STRONG!


What an amazing set

 

[Chase17]

That was an awesome set

 

[A Pretty Panda]

wowowowow

 

[Anth0ny]

IT'S MEANT TO BE




IT'S MEANT TO BE

 

[FZZ]

Bull

shit

 

[fredrancour]

i'm basking in the falco so hard right now.


at least until GFs where i pray for some brutal marth combos

 

[Codeblue]

What a damn legend.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

good riddance, his ego would have swallowed melee whole

 

[emb]

Was really hoping for not Armada/Mango GFs. Guess it can't not happen. Leffen was doing so well too.

Regardless, that Mango/Leffen set, early contender for set of the year probably. So intense. n_n

Alright, so Plup out, Leffen out. All my hope is in M2K now.

 

[That Dude John]

Bull

shit

Hahahaha

 

[Ecliptor]

It's sad that there's no thread for this tournament.

 

[Paltheos]

Mango the God. Holy Christ, how did he win? How did he win?!

 

[Jigolo]

That set was amazing

 

[Anteo]

Cant believe he couldnt do it

 

[TheChits]

Mango/Leffen was nuts

 

[Takyon]

that forward smash by Mango on the penultimate dreamland stock. Did he somehow impact land? I have no idea how he got it so smoothly after hitting the platform.
