you gotta love smash, gawtdayum

 

[Moonlight]

Why not just put random stage select?

Stages are hugely important in Smash. Platform placement, stage size, and blast zones (the area you can go off-screen and still survive) are all really important to match-ups and certain characters.

 

[Amazeballs]

Why is he leaving?

Some sort of health issue. I've heard rumors, but Prog hasn't said anything about it publicly so I'll respect his wishes on the matter.

 

[Anteo]

IS HBOX GONNA DO IT?
THE YOUNG LINK IS NOT USEFULL ANYMORE ARMADA

wow

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Not sure if hbox is better or Armada is just sucking...

 

[Beelzebufo]

Cancer came back.

Really? That's terrible. I knew it was health reasons, but didn't know it was that bad.

Also, every match HBox wins delays the other games by a half hour each.

 

[ICKE]

These matches...... I don't want to put this game on blast but it's taking too long.

 

[SargerusBR]

Stages are hugely important in Smash. Platform placement, stage size, and blast zones (the area you can go off-screen and still survive) are all really important to match-ups and certain characters.

Because certain characters have advantages depending on the stage.

Stage slection is extremely import

There's only 5 or 6 viable stages to play on due to bans on wwalkoffs, stage hazards, etc.

You probably don't want to play on Pokefloats for example....

Because counter-picks of characters and stages matter.

Because the stages are all different and actually matter

Got it, but who choses the Stages, the P1?

 

[Tripon]

Oh shit, HBox is going to do it....

 

[Kouichi]

These edgeguards!

 

[shaowebb]

Juicebox was commentating the KOF pools.

He is all that was needed for the Top 8.

It is not a hype commentary unless you get BOTH Juicebox and Hellpockets. At that point people in the audience start having panic attacks and forgetting to breathe. Hype incarnate.

 

[Seik]

HBox keeping the pressure, damn.

 

[Kriken]

Let's go HBox

 

[petghost]

much love to smash/its fans but god damn this is gonna be a while.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Daaaaaaaamn, this is happening, isn't it!?

 

[ffdgh]

Welp...jiggly won lol.

[BadWolf]

I'm trying to give watching Melee a shot this year but this feels like its taking forever, just not for me I guess.

It is not a hype commentary unless you get BOTH Juicebox and Hellpockets. At that point people in the audience start having panic attacks and forgetting to breathe. Hype incarnate.

That would have been incredible.

 

[Blizzard]

I'm sad to see Armada knocked out because I like seeing him play Peach. Does anyone else in the top 8 play Peach?

 

[pelican]

I do like Smash's music!

 

[Revven]

I CAN'T BELIEVE HUNGRYBOX IS AHEAD WTFFFFF

 

[Beelzebufo]

Got it, but who choses the Stages, the P1?

I think the loser.

 

[BassForever]

JIGGLYPUFF!

 

[WarRock]

It's all about who the community has access to in terms of enthusiastic and knowledgeable individuals. Capcom games generally have the widest audience to choose from. Smash has prog, who is a top tier commentator, but he can't necessarily commentate for KoF.

KoF pools had great commentary though.

 

[Azure J]

ARMADA WHYYYYYYYY

ALL MY SALTIES WERE ON YOU

 

[CommandThrower]

Pretty crazy Smash play so far. Smash had 90k minutes earlier, but suddenly dropped two thousand people. Uhh...

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Hungrybox solved the Young Link...I don't believe it...

 

[NotLiquid]

The Swedish dream is dead ;_;

 

[Tan]

LET THAT BE A LESSON TO STICK TO YOUR MAINS.

HUNGRYBOX ASCENDS

 

[Papercuts]

Wow, hungrybox pulling it out.

 

[commanderpepper]

USA USA USA

 

[Metaroo]

Juan!

 

[Anteo]

Got it, but who choses the Stages, the P1?

For the first stage, both ban 2 stages and the last stage is chosen


After the first match, a 6th stage is added to the mix, and they chose from these.
The loser of the last match selects the stage for the next match
then the winner can change character (if the stage change is too much for him)
now the loser can change too

 

[greycolumbus]

Sheeesh Armada

 

[Nabs]

Damn. That adjustment.

 

[Eleuin]

That puff

 

[HawthorneKitty]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[El Sloth]

FUCK YES

 

[Lazyslob]

NO MORE YEARS NO MORE YEARS

 

[Tripon]

Hungry box took it!

 

[Hatchtag]

More food for the Hungrybox!

 

[Kouichi]

Way to go, Hungrybox!

 

[Jachaos]

DAMN Hungrybox

 

[StriKeVillain]

Wait, was that JUST the first game?

 

[OminousShadow]

WOW HBOX. Good show

 

[Codeblue]

So glad he finally managed to get a win over Y.Link.

 

[TWILT]

Yes, HBox!

 

[NexusCell]

THE DREAM IS REAL

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Hbox is ready
