I agree that he's more consistent, but Miya has seven major wins this season (two of them super majors), so I think I'd probably rank Miya over Sonix for now. acola has two supermajor wins and 3rd at another supermajor (and two regional and a superregional win, though I imagine those don't count...

Sonix in general has been super consistent since like, 2022 (and he was consistent during the online era of 2021 and 2020). Part of it is likely due to him playing Sonic, commonly considered the second best character with few losing MUs (and contender for Steve's worst MU in particular), but I...

For the past 3-4 months or so, you're the one who keeps bringing up Corrin (and then you get a bit snippy when people don't agree with you). You claim that you're tired of talking about Corrin but in most cases recently you're the one bringing up the subject. I'm pretty sure I've said that I...

Who do you think is not in the middle of the pack, then? Aside from Sonic and Steve (and ROB and Snake)? I don't think SHADIC lost because of MUs in general today, anyways. He's had a lot on his mind recently and admitted himself that he wasn't playing his best today. The set vs Light was so...

Every character is just inconsistent in this game and it's especially hard to stay consistent with so many different MUs and strong players around. It's not like Peach, Aegis, Pikachu, Joker, Bayonetta, Yoshi, Palutena etc players are being super consistent either (and those characters are...

As a former Sephiroth main, it saddens me to say that the character is likely mid tier... They really could've tweaked wing a bit more, it's so awkward to lose wing at the final stock, and sometimes not even get wing or get it right before you die, etc. Making wing spawn 10-15% earlier and...

I think Corrin loses to Snake still (slightly), but Neo has been grinding that MU hard so he's very good vs Snake now. It's still a (slightly) bad MU for Corrin. Fox is also (slightly?) bad for Corrin still, even though SHADIC beat Light twice in a row now. Personally I think Corrin's worst MU...

I think this is the best I've ever seen a Pikachu play in this game. ShinyMark is clearly quite a bit better than peak ESAM, and would likely be a top 20 contender if he were able to travel more. The character is very difficult to pick up and play at a top level, but when you're pulling it off...

Pikachu falling off would imply that he's doing worse than he used to. I don't think that's really the case? ESAM has fallen off, but ShinyMark is doing better than ever. I suppose you could argue that 2019 ESAM was doing better than 2023/2024 ShinyMark, but I'd argue that largely comes down to...

I would argue that Dabuz is a top 10 player (skill wise) who is held back by his character choices (especially Rosalina). His Min Min is good but not at the level of the Japanese top level Min Min mains. His Olimar is rarely used these days. Rosalina, as a character, is either high mid tier or...

SHADIC does well vs Onin and Kola, but Sparg0 will be really difficult. If he can beat Sparg0 then his chances of winning are really good. If he loses to Sparg0 then he might lose to Light for 5th (although it's entirely possible that he'll beat Light, he's come close several times before). I...

Y'know, it's interesting. There are many aspects of "easy to play" vs "hard to play". Steve, for instance, has a lot of tech that you might want to learn, and you can't just play Steve as a regular vanilla character, you have to learn Steve specific things. However, Steve has a rather easy time...

I think G&W might have the best "ease of use" to "strength" ratio in the game. G&W is really easy to pick up, really easy to play, while still being one of the strongest characters. While I do think both Steve and Sonic are better once mastered both of them take more effort to pick up, whereas...

G&W not being top 5 is a bit odd to me. If he isn't top 5, then who would take his place? Steve/Sonic/ROB/Snake seem fairly likely, but who would the 5th be? I suppose the main candidates would be Aegis, Peach, Fox, Joker, and Pikachu. MkLeo does not think Aegis is top 10. Aegis, as a...

There's a lot to talk about regarding Cirque, but for this post I will focus on how people placed compared to their seeds, and notable wins and losses. SHADIC getting 1st with a seed of #7. I always thought he was underseeded at this tournament and should've been over Kola and Dabuz, so...
