I only played Melee for fun, so everyone plays Falco or Fox in Melee or something?

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

Long lost cousin of Mew2King.

Mew3King.

 

[Hot Coldman]

There is only three games this could have happened to: Third Strike, CVS2, or Melee

 

[Kalamari]

This is so good. I wonder if masks will ever catch on in the FGC?

 

[iamaustrian]

Not that I'm saying that he sucks, but how is that supposed to prove anything about his competitive Smash abilities?

have you ever tried to play any game with yourself with two controllers?
It's unbelievably hard and takes tremendous skills

edit: but yeah, thinking of it, you are right. it doesn't proove that he is good at competitive smash. urgh

 

[Spikain]

He has Armada's arms. I'm telling you.

These are the common characters played in Melee:

Fox
Falco
Sheik
Marth
Jigglypuff
Captain Falcon
Peach


And then sometimes there's Ice Climbers, Pikachu, Luigi, Ganondorf, and Samus interspersed in there. At most you'll see 15-16 characters out of the 26 at a given tournament.

Why does he wear the mask?

Didn't even mention aMSa bruh?

I mean it's one amazing Yoshi that... we may not see again. (He's busy with school).

what do amiibos do when you aren't looking

 

[Jackben]

This is freaking me out.

 

[Eegah]

He has Armada's arms. I'm telling you.

I was thinking the same thing.

Couldn't find a great picture, but look at those scrawny, pasty arms and tell me they aren't the same as the masked man's.

Also wearing similar clothes in the pic.

 

[Drillow]

Masked Man? Lucas confirmed for Smash DLC!

 

[Syriel]

The little girl thing was a market thing? I don't follow tournaments, or Nintendo much these days to be honest, but I thought the girl beating everyone was great.

That.. was an advert? or what? Surely not..

Yeah, it was for a GameStop Smash advert.

Completely and totally staged.

None of it was real.

The top 4 of Melee's tier list (Fox, Falco, Sheik, Marth) composes a vast majority of entrants and finalists in competitive tourneys with a bit of Captain Falcon in between, while characters like Jiggs and Peach who are in the same tier as all the above still tend to be popular on account of Hungrybox and Armada being some of the best players that main them. You'll sometimes see the occasional rare show of things like Axe's Pikachu, Eddy Mexico's Luigi or aMSa's Yoshi.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Wait. The little gurl was a plant???

it would also makes sense regarding the mysterious sunglasses the masked dude wears.
Armada's usual glasses would reveal himself, so he wears optical slightly-tinted sunglasses.

 

[Beelzebubs]

I say Kojima had something to do with it.

 

[JDSN]

Shit reminds me of the Mystery knights from Game of Thrones, except kinda sad.

 

[Fhtagn]

Clearly it's the ERADICATOR!

Later that day:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LOL NO!!!!!!!!

 

[Oni Link 666]

It's Sakurai's alter ego.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Next week: Dog shows up at Smash Bros Tournament and wrecks everyone.

[Arion]

I bet it was Sakurai.

 

[jooey]

I was thinking the same thing.

Couldn't find a great picture, but look at those scrawny, pasty arms and tell me they aren't the same as the masked man's.

so he has the same arms as 2/3 of pro smash players

 

[Muskieratboi]

Ninja Brian, maybe?

 

[HagiG7]

I say Kojima had something to do with it.

Clever. Maybe Mew2King decided to have some fun lol. That Marth and Falco had laser reads!

 

[Jac_Solar]

Based on his skills he's probably an anonymous member of the "Mario Club"; nintendo's very own game testing team.
They are probably the best video gamers in the world

That's interesting. Are there any specific channels for their videos, or tags?

The Mario Club Company is a debugging subsidiary under the Nintendo Licensing Division in Kyoto. It is sometimes refereed to as the Kyoto research center. The Super Mario Club are typically credited in many Nintendo games, though they go under various different, albeit very similar, names including Super Mario Club, (Super) Mario Club staff, NCL Super Mario Club, and Super Mario Club Debug Team. They have been credited for debugging, testing, and, most commonly, are listed under the special thanks. The Mario Club lists its official name as Mario Club, Inc.

For many years they were a debugging team within Nintendo, but in July of 2009 they officially became a subsidiary. As of January 2011, they have 301 employees. Nintendo fully owns the Mario Club and its president is Miki Ken.

301 employees -- that seems like a lot of employees for a Q/A/Debug team, doesn't it?

 

[Ayumi]

It's probably Feep's roommate, Xander Mobus.

 

[GeekyDad]

The truth is out there...

 

[ItIsOkBro]

It's Michael Fassbender

To cover the number of games Nintendo has in development? On top of any hardware and network testing needs? Plus all the admin/business side stuff since they're a separate group now. Western publishers easily can have a QA staff in the hundreds.

That

Nintendo is one of (if not the most) prolific developers/publishers in the industry. As well they have needs beyond game development, as in their OS and eShop and so on. And people are constantly demanding they increase their output. They attempt to maintain high quality standards as well.

The more software you develop, the higher the quality you aim for at release, the more QA you need.

So this guy says nothing and eats nothing for 9 hours, wins the tournament and leaves with a thumbs up. Personally I think the whole thing is simply amazing.

DAMMIT QYBURN

players actually getting kills with solo popo after losing nana is the hypest thing in smash tournaments.

Has anybody ever placed in a decent position in any Melee tournament ever using Pichu? Actually screw that, has anyone ever used Pichu in a tournament?

 

[Currygan]

that head seems massive, also, so he's probably a Mii

 

[Stylo]

Another fake persona ala ScorpionMaster.

All the NSMBU Super Play videos are played by Mario Club Members.
The videos are completely over the top. in fact, many people thought they are tool assisted.
especially the co-op ones are mindblowing
