Nah man play Sonic if you want I was just making jokes.

Nobody here plays lame or degenerate enough for it to matter what character they use

in other words I am simply built different

No, despite pretty much everyone else at my work getting it, including my roommate and girlfriend who I both work with.

I haven't played Ultimate in like a year and don't have the DLC.

I'm assuming that doesn't stop you from playing others who do have it?

Correct.

will do anything for you to not use Sonic

Tweek has had a pretty rough year by his lofty standards, so I'm really happy to see him make it to a Grand Finals reset.

Sparg0 is just so incredibly locked in right now, but you do feel like the guys at the very top are so evenly matched that he could definitely lose to any one of them.

I honestly... don't think Leo needs to switch off Byleth. Both of his losses to Sparg0 were last stock last hit. People are just so used to him clutching and dominating everything that it seems like the character must be the reason he's losing.

Your company should have wavedashed out of the way.

stingers is a Brawl player not a Melee player!

What do you even do when shit like this happens?

Someone got some of my passwords (I suspect in a dataleak) a few months ago and it was one of the more frantic weeks of my life trying to stop them from getting into my accounts. Can't imagine a ransomware thing, it sounds so much worse.

stocktaker69 is a Seph player too so I love him even more.

The Joy Boy boost for Tweek is so real

I was going to be furious if Tweek lost that Game 3.

he just reverse 3-0'd MKLeo

Sparg0at.

Anyone watching Collision right now? This Zomba/Light set is sick

I think round robin until top four with no loser's bracket is definitely the move. Everyone gets to play everyone and we get done at a more reasonable time. I think that's the route we'll go with 8 or fewer.

wait, Smash tournaments let you switch characters after you win a game? I assume loser gets to choose their character after the winner, at least? In every other fighting game the winner is forced to continue using the character(s) they won with (some team-based game rulesets would allow you to change team order or assists after winning though).

Yeah you can change your character at any time. I just think the winner has to declare who their character is gonna be first.

First round is usually a blind character pick so you can't counterpick in round one.

What is download

so like when a player picks up on your habits and starts punishing you, it's said that they downloaded you.

You'll see a lot of chats be like "Download complete" when a top player loses the first game of a set in an upset and then cruises the rest of the way.

KP said his 1v1 lobbies helped him prepare quite a bit the one week where he smoked me in bracket.

Smh I don't work nearly hard enough for the level that I want to get to but it's really fuckin hard trying to have a life.

Zomba's "It's tougher to be a pro-Smasher as a high schooler than it is to be one with a job" troll-bait had me seriously malding lol

I guess my next goal is to pass Extha in the rankings. Which based on our last set seems no easy task.

I was schmooving on you in the set this weekend but we've had very close matches before. You can definitely get me.

Am I about to spend hundreds of dollars to collect these?

I am, aren't I?

I'm going to have a shit day at work tomorrow lol. Why do these have to run so late

Glad I have off. IDK why this ran so fucking late it's ridiculous.

He didn't drop a single set.

He only dropped FIVE GAMES THROUGH THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT.

That is so fucking ludicrously overpowered.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh my fucking GOD

His recovery in the last game against Leo was so fucking otherworldly good and he followed it with the F-air spike.

ONE. MORE. GAME.

Come onnnnn!!!!

Sparg0 has gone all Cloud except against Chag and Lavish.

COME ON SPARG0. God I want this for him so bad. He's such a good dude so ridiculously humble for a teenager.

I think he was planning on taking a game with Lucina and then switching to prevent the download but honestly Light doesn't download like Leo does he just fucking railroads you with Fox's absurd speed.

KAZUYA MISHIMA

lmao Proto what a boss

Light is so annoying to me. I really hope Sparg0 has the read on him and ends this in one set.

these have been so close.

Footstool KO into Milly Rock is a true combo LMFAOOOOOO

Proto's Lucina is such art.

Protobanham was the only person in Summit who lost to Fatality. Really goes to show you how much specific character matchups and personal playstyle matters.

Damn I had to double check you on that because it sounded so wrong from what I watched yesterday. I SWORE Fatality got a win someone jeez.

Everyone else has dropped two or more sets this tournament.

Sparg0 hasn't dropped one.

Chat was clamoring for him to break out the Joker tbh.

KamikazePotato posted...

His Byleth wasn't looking quite as good as usual either! Or maybe people are finally adapting to the character.

I think people are finally catching up.

Sparg0 in particular has just looked fucking unreal today.

I do hope Light beats Proto because the Light/Sparg0 set was fucking INCREDIBLE.

KamikazePotato posted...

His Pyra/Mythra simply did not look that great. Definitely a step below what I saw from Cosmos.

No sympathy. I'm so mad he switched to that garbage instead of fighting Gluto with Byleth.

The way Proto did that was so fucking amazing.

He won Game 1 with Min Min and then SWITCHED to Lucina. He had a big lead in game one but it looked like Leo got the download and was blowing him up. He ended up winning last hit.

Game 2 he got wrecked with Lucina and everyone is like WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU SWITCH

Game 3 he went back to Min Min and blew Leo up and then he switched AGAIN and this is just speculation, but it looked like he switched off Min Min to prevent Leo from getting the download.

Game 4 Leo was cruising but Proto got a bonkers shield break and then completed a massive last stock comeback.

I love this game.

Sparg0 got him in winner's and Proto got him in loser's.

Holy shit. What a fucking world.

still can't beat the Tree Sentinel just yet. Need more flasks. Did manage to beat Agheel first try.

Wanna say GG's again to everyone last night. I know it didn't run as smoothly as previous weeks but I feel like we got it done in really good time and there were some REALLY good matches.

in fact I'm stripping you of this win for lending out your switch

you lost the other ones by not showing up. it counts.

that's all folks!

Stingers finally wins one. 3-2 over Ermine in grand finals. Very tense set where Ermine almost ran it back. Lot of great Smash tonight y'all. Happy with everything except not making top 4.

god I was one touch away from advancing but Koopas clutched it out on me

tearing through these matches at great pace tonight y'all.

stingers starts off 0-2 in absolutely shocking fashion
