Btw, quick noob question. What exactly does "pools" mean on the schedule. Are those just random match ups? or some sort of qualification to enter the title matches?

Shit, gamerbee might actually lose here. From grand finals last year to losers bracket on first day. Nobody would guess that.
 
Okay,I just woke up and missed the last 7hrs. EVO is rough on the Australian sleep schedule...

I know it's a long shot, but anyone can update me on any big moments so far?
(especially in Smash)
main thing in Smash is KEN coming in and walking all over everyone, handing out 8-0s wherever he walks.

Other than that, good matches from Ganon players, Yoshi players, Peach players (shoutout to Lilo and Armada), Jiggs players... good stuff.

Any American players in Persona top 8?

Yes. It's basically half and half.

*beaten*

Hopefully Akihiko wins it which would renew my interest in playing P4U. Otherwise "OMG BUFF AKIHIKO AND NERF EVERYONE ELSE" happens. ;__;

Okay. What exactly makes Marth better than Roy? Isn't Roy just Marth except with a flaming sword?

Lots of hitbox differences between them; Roy has to space his moves more towards his hilt while Marth aims for tippers. Which makes it much more difficult for Roy to combo/KO because he has no solid spacing game at neutral. His best move is a ground low poke that pops people up, but besides that he has nothing else to get in well with. And the way his physics and weight are put him at one of the worst recoveries in the game and make him incredibly easy to combo hard.

That's a summation of their differences.

You've missed a lot of Ken's matches, Wobbling, Ganondorf taking some games, Axe, just a crap ton of stuff.

Yeah I didn't' realize till now how far ahead LoL was in terms of viewership. Guess fighters still aren't as mainstream as they were back in the golden age.

In order to max knockback marth has to hit with the tip of his sword making his range game deadly. In order for roy to do max knockback he has to with the hilt of his sword making him garbage.
