I missed the end of today. Who made top 8? Any matches I should watch?

losers: wizzy vs nintendude, lucky vs axe

winners: m2k vs mango, hbox vs sfat

8 characters in top 8. madness.

 

[Josue]

Sfat in winners? Let's go

 

[Pappasman]

Apparantly ZeRo and PPMD are going to be making a Melee tier list video series. Odd pairing, but it sounds cool.

Zero has just been dodging tournaments since the patches. He is scared

I think it makes sense actually, Zero is good at making these kinds of videos plus he has a big following on YouTube and PPMD has insane knowledge about the game.

Dreamhack austin top 8 is pretty hot so far

I've been really impressed with top 8 to this point. Let's go M2K!

 

[Anth0ny]

WIZZY DOE


ISAI ARE YOU WATCHING

 

[chaosblade]

Wizzy in top 4? Whaaat?


And that Fountain game was beautiful.

Too bad he has to play against Mango's Falco next.

 

[Anteo]

WIZZY!

 

[Lucumo]

Wizzy in top 4? Whaaat?

Missed everything so far...why is it so early? :/

 

[chaosblade]

M2K Beat Hbox on Dreamland

This tournament

 

[Quenk]

Let's go m2k

 

[chaosblade]

M2K got so sloppy game 5. Got in his own head.

Looked like he's been working on that matchup though because he played most of it really well.

 

[Lucumo]

Poor M2K. Dammit.

 

[peter0611]

Hbox too good. So close M2k....

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Good stuff by M2K, hope he doesn't let that last game get to him.


who am I kidding that last game is gonna get to him

 

[FZZ]

Great set

Hbox's nair changed the tempo

Even after the sd and early stock loss dude kept his composure.

 

[chaosblade]

Mango is going Fox? I feel like that's good for Wizzy.


Took game 1, niiice.


Falco though.

 

[Neol]

Mango looking good. Think he might take this.

Playing a lot more defensively this time around.

 

[Quenk]

Wavedash back off randall -> jump up-air? Mango is feeling himself

 

[peter0611]

Win this one, Mango.

 

[Anth0ny]

MANGO FINALLY DID IT

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

The kid is back

 

[sinxtanx]

MANGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Quenk]

Good shit Mango. He finally got one

 

[Pappasman]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

JUSTICE

 

[chaosblade]

Finally got a tournament over Hbox again. Nice win by Mango.


Hbox was definitely looking off today, never see him drop as much as he did.

 

[Jigolo]

The GOAT won? I'm at work!!!!!!

 

[TheDanimal]

I popped off.
LETS GO MANGO!! So excited to see him finally win a big tourney this year.

 

[Anteo]

Hbox missed so many things plus Mang0 tricky recovery made it super hard for hbox to win.

Oh well

 

[Neol]

Good by mango. Like the playstyle adjustment.

Hbox looks like he was picking it up near the end so the next tourney is gonna be interesting.

 

[FZZ]

Good shit

All I wanted was a good set, and that's what I got

 

[Quenk]

I kinda like seeing Hbox playing from behind just because he goes for those sick up-air combos instead of just resting.

 

[Pappasman]

M2K is getting a lot better which is good to see. I'll always be pulling for the Return of the King.

He just has to work on his mentality. After he loses and gets sent to losers he just crumbles apart and its so hard to watch :/

 

[chaosblade]

Wizzy lit up when Blur asked him to talk about the Fox matchup.

 

[peter0611]

Blur is a real trooper right now. I would have bailed on this interview. Too deep and heavy right now.

 

[sinxtanx]

M2K needs a fan meetup to show him that twitch chat isn't everything

 

[Quenk]

Mango won Press Start last year on Mother's Day. Mother's Day master confirmed

 

[chaosblade]

Poor M2K. He needs to listen to Blur here, but we all know he won't.


On the total opposite end of the spectrum

Mango talking about donating tournament winnings to charity. That's cool.

 

[Anth0ny]

literally dying watching the m2k interview

"it was just another set" - m2k on m2k vs mango possibly the most high level marth vs fox set ever

love this guy

Missed all of Dreamhack today since I was at a tournament. Gotta catch up tomorrow night.

For now, glad to hear Mang0 finally did it! Been a while.

Fantastic top 8.

M2K interview was really depressing though.

Also, Wizzy got 4th and got interviewed which was cool. When was the last time a Falcon got 4th? I think he would have beaten Mango too if not for the Falco, because he was on point in the game against Mango's Fox.

M2K's tweets were also really sad. I hope he's able to get through this.

I can't remember the last time. Wizzy mentioned that after that match Mango gave him some tips against Falco. That's really cool of him and hopefully Wizzy practices them and gets better at the matchup.

It's a hard matchup, but Wizzy already does good against both Sheik and Fox (which we saw demonstrated well against both SFAT and game 1 against Mango), which are Falcon's only other two particularly bad matchups. So he can probably get the Falco worked out with time and practice. He sounds very committed to improving and probably still has his best years ahead of him.

Interestingly, Reddit is saying that is the highest placement a Falcon player has ever had in a tournament with 3 gods in attendance. Previous highest being Hax with a 5th place finish (who, ironically, was knocked out by SFAT, whom Wizzy beat to secure 4th).

 

[Anth0ny]

Speaking of M2K's lack of composure in big games...

In celebration of Mother's day, the OFFICIAL Eminem shop is selling this shirt in both white and black:

If you want one, grab one now because it's a limited release for only three days.

I copped a white one. I had to <3

That was the one set I missed. Gotta watch it now.

 

[also]

Man, m2k came soooo close but the interview and tweets afterwards crushed all my hopes of him getting his mojo back.
