Zinoto top 3 at a supermajor

pretty safe to say he's top 15, a lot of people are surprised he's this far and idk why, he has an extremely strong tourney record

I think the stage was a bad choice. Zinoto just had more space to maneuver and Abadango had few ways to block off Diddy.

Whoo! Abagando got top 4! I'm happy with how he did. Job well done in my book.

Pac-Man feels like the Pichu of Smash 4. lol Half the stuff he throws out ends up being used against him. Also, that whiffed up smash was just heartbreaking.
Still, great to see Aba get so far. Love watching that guy play.

I mean sure,
if you're careless with it


This man charged in Zinoto's face *facepalm* he clearly is out of practice with him. And the first hit didn't connect because stun ignores weak hitboxes.

Man, Monkey Flip is an insanely good move. And we get Anti vs Zinoto GFs! Hope we see some counterpicks from Anti, I don't think I could take five sets of fishing for usmash.

Dabuz at third. This only ever happens when ZeRo and Nairo are both in top 8.

What. Just. Happened.

Zinoto showing that he's the OG Diddy main. Didn't expect him to get this far, let alone GFs.


Also this Ally tweet got me good:

I kinda love this. Compare this to the didn't dittos from smash 4s first apex and it's awesome to see how much diddy's meta has expanded.

Just when we thought we weren't gonna see Cloud lol.

I'm calling it, this is Cloud's first national victory.

Edit: TOLD YA!

my scoring won't include a few of those characters (the ones players used and lost sets with ala Larry's DK), I'll list what I'm adding down after Game of Thrones

Many were talking about matchup experience, counterpicking, and secondaries being a constant and necessary presence at top level - and it's arguably the most constant and consistent counterpicker with the widest fighter pool that takes the entire tourney.

As Shaya said:
A man holds onto his Cloud until it truly rains.

If I'm counting right, that's fifteen different characters in top 8. The counterpick meta is real.
