[BladeWise]

Looks like I'll be going. See you all in the morning.

 

[darkatma]

fly vs silent wolf happened in genesis 2 pools and sw won

random tidbit

I hope there isn't big gaps between tournament sets

I was in that pool too. Barely lost to both of them in game 3, such close sets Also super hyped for the matches from this!

hi binyan

 

[Nicholas1024]

Does anyone know when the stream is going to start up?

 

[Revven]

It should have been 15 minutes ago but I wouldn't expect them to be 100% on time. Streams at venues, even for someone like Sp00ky, are never punctual.

 

[Tarv]

No one is chatting on stream

I'm sad and all alone. How can I be hyped by myself?

 

[Revven]

Stream is live!

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

P1 mango/s2j
P2 ppu/ winner of Zhu/axe

 

[Isatis]

I don't know who's running the stream, but they really need to Force Deinterlace.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Top 8 (winners, losers)

Mango, S2J (S2J beat SFAT)
PPU, Zhu (Axe lost to both)
Westballz, Sung (Shroomed lost to Bladewise, Aussyboo. Bladewise lost to Wes, Sung)
Hungrybox, Fly (Silentwolf lost to HMW, Fly)

 

[shadrach kabango]

aussyboo ?

 

[baka4moé]

lol 3 of the 4 third placers beat the 2nd placers in winner's and then lost to them in loser's. Top 2 per bracket pool seems rough. Is that how they're doing it at EVO?

No, there will be a lot more entrants at EVO (hopefully) so it'll keep breaking down into more brackets until they reach Top 32, Top 16, or Top 8. Not sure what the goal is at EVO for SSBM, but often times the main games get broken down until Top 32 but since there's so many games this year I think a lot more will break down to Top 16 or Top 8.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

brackets at last year's EVO. it'll still be top 2 per bracket pool (one in winners, one in losers) regardless of how many entrants it gets. the top players will generally just be spread out more if there are more entrants. but initially everyone will be put into 16 man bracket pools where top 2 get out.


nice character variety in top 8 by the way.

 

[ComboFest]

MY BOI SUNG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[smashmachine]

link to team bracket anyone?

 

[ycz12]

Aussyboo knocked Ken out of Kings of Cali. He's pretty dece.

And apparently Shroomed is bad against Peach.

 

[commonyoshi]

Lol, Teddy said doc sucks.

Ooh, and good stuff to socal. Hella proud of sung. And good job stab and sung for taking norcal's best team's money.

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

Winners
Mango vs ppu
Hbox vs westballz

Losers
S2j vs Zhu
Sung vs fly

 

[AppleAppleAZ]

Thinking PPU will get 2nd tomorrow. Good stuff Sung.

 

[whitemountain123]

Always nice to see PPU and Westballz go far, though I think Mango vs Wes and PPU vs Hbox would potentially be more hype

 

[Revven]

Remember guys! Tonight is top 8 at 8 PM PST/11 PM EST on: http://www.twitch.tv/iplaywinner

Feel free to watch the other games before SSBM comes on, who knows, you might like what you see!

 

[Tarv]

3000 over 5,000 people watching SF right now. Hopefully we can have that many people watching Smash later on tonight.

Edit: I've just been informed that there were 95000 people watching Marvel GF during last year's Evo. Is the smash community ready for that kind of exposure?

 

[WTFFTW]

prediction: pewpewu almost beats hbox in loser's finals

 

[Lovage]

EDIT: NVM LmFAOOOOOOOOO

 

[smashmachine]

[smashmachine]

danggggggg
now Mango to wreck all of losers bracket

 

[smashmachine]

wow
closest 3-0 ever?

 

[Lovage]

1. hungrybox
2. mango
3. pewpewu
4. westballz
5. s2j
5. fly amanita
7. zhu
7. sung

 

[smashmachine]

hungrybox with the comeback
PPU got Taj'd though, lol

 

[Nicholas1024]

Nah, although Mango definitely brought it back in loser's, that set wasn't anywhere near as one-sided as what happened to Taj. If PPU hadn't missed that one combo, he'd have taken game 2.

 

[Osennecho]

9th: Bladewise (Marth?) -----Was Peach
9th: HomeMadeWaffles (Doc?) ------Went Falco and Fox

[Mr.Jackpot]

How many people entered for Melee?

 

[Osennecho]

How many people entered for Melee?

I could be wrong but I think it was around 110-115 people.

 

[bertbusdriver]

18 man pools except pool 4, which was 19. 18x4 + 1 = 73. **** was stacked as hell though.
