[Game7a1]

The big event of the year (and whatever smaller events elsewhere in the week) is fast approaching, so here's a dedicated thread.

[Das Koopa]

dabuz will win evo

 

[HoSmash4]

People getting upset. Round one pools look like a chore though

 

[Yikarur]

Can someone tell me who cyve and Eddy have to play? I'm curious how well they will be doing.

 

[Illuminose]

in the same style as Das Koopa, komorikiri will win evo

Can someone tell me who cyve and Eddy have to play? I'm curious how well they will be doing.

Assuming everything goes as planned and he gets to his R2 pool unscathed, cyve faces the winner of Dan vs Karna and then most likely Tweek to get to winners finals of the pool, where he'll have to fight the winner of the Earth/M2K thing on the other side of his pool. Pugwest, Ksev, Kiraflax, and Camalange are also in his pool. Rough pool but I think cyve could potentially make it out second or more likely get something like 3rd or 4th in the pool.

As for Eddy, he has NickRiddle r1 of his r2 pool, then Angbad->Marss->Nietono to make top 32 if he theoretically kept winning. DKWill, Lycan, C3PO, dyr, and ZekkenB are the other noteworthy players in his pool. Angbad in particular seems quite hard and I frankly don't think he'll make it all the way to Nietono who would likely destroy him, but I could see upsets over NickRiddle/Marss just with the matchup in mind.

I hope the brackets will be completely updated this year, unlike last year where round 2 brackets were never updated online.

True Blue in Losers to a Falcon, probably Flash from Mexico if the pools are to be trusted. http://evo2016.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssb4_a505.html

Chudat played Cloud, while Nintendude used ZSS.

I woudn't call that second game putting him into the dumpster...

 

[L9999]

I guess Emblem Lord is right about Rat-Ryu.

 

[Djent]

I wouldn't conclude much based on that goofy match tbh, though I probably agree with EL anyway.

This just in: MVD lost to NotLast (bracket)

a peach from norcal

[L9999]

SETHSATIONAL why?! That Cloud was terrible.

Game 3 was hype though.

 

[Das Koopa]

mvd is bad

Actually NotLast is good but still lol that's such a massive falloff

 

[Ropalme1914]

If Seth stayed with Falcon he would have a very good chance to take the set.

 

[Nu~]

mvd is bad

Actually NotLast is good but still lol that's such a massive falloff

Inb4 MVD makes a resurgence with the return of Duck hunt and little Mac

 

[L9999]

Man I wish.

 

[TurboLink]

Sonic vs. Kirby? This matchup is probably about to be hilariously pathetic.

He only did 35%. O.O

 

[ARISTOS]

MVD is bad lol

 

[Ninety]

Sol with the BM

 

[Djent]

So is doubles not happening at all? Haven't heard anything about it.

 

[TurboLink]

All's End is such a For Glory Ness.

 

[PK Gaming]

CDK's Fox is hilarious

 

[Ninety]

Wow, Regi turned that around. WTT choked.

 

[PK Gaming]

That was painful

WTT needed to lean on Dragon Lunge more; that's like, 50% of Corrin's ground game lol

 

[CodeBlue_]

 

[PK Gaming]

Marth vs Shulk looks rough
