>>744547701im hereis luigi gonna win?
nonebros...
>>744547701that melee bracket looks like trash. ultimate's bracket is way better
>>744548547He has a very do-able bracket path, especially if he can dodge llod
>>744549109I thought you were just memeing and for it to be full of Steves and Sonics, but you know, this is pretty good actually.
>>744547701>melee and ultimate top 8 at the same time>ultimate destroying melee in viewshmm meleebros... i thought we always had the biggest views
>>744549468>14.8k vs 8.3kdead game vs slightly less dead game
>>744549468It hasn't been like that since Smash 4 and that was like 8 years ago
>>744549810https://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcampultimate has close to 30k views
>>744549921no, it has 15.6k. it's counting mang0 and IBDWs views, both of which are currently watching melee
BASED rapmonsterI'm sad n0ne's already gone and aklo got knocked out without seeing the linkalso bayo just beat mkleo to make WF in ult which is based
rapm isn't playing too hot..
soonsay kinda good looking, troonsay when?
>>744547701>faggot OP didn't link the ultimate stream on the main channel because it's beating meleeyou lost and got raped
>>744550491/v/ smash tournament threads have always been melee threads
Jakal got fat

Sweet, Light took Game 3. Now lose Game 4 to counterpick with good music again.
>>744550641ENTER
>>744550491very low posting quality, anon
leo is 25 years old. kek i remember when he was 14
wtf when did Leo and Spargo play
The dichotomy of Game 1 and 2 of the Hurt vs Lima set here.
>ultimate player nearly made top 8
Bayo taaaaaxxxxxxxxxxthat was a C4 ending.
snake is so lame it's unreal
>Block has 3 commentators
>peach/weegeeon one hand it's a floaty muon the other hand rapmonster is based and can't remember ever seeing this mu in a top 8 before
>Luigi in winners finalsBlessed
god help us if it's peach puff grand finals
>>744549468Me?2 cakesGo Leo and Rapmonster.
>>744554815Zain ain't losing and he's going to win against rapmonster.
>>744549074he hasn't been a contender in over 4 years. idk what happened
>commentators impressed with hungrybox's new aggressive playstyle>it's exactly how mang0 used to play puff 20 years agokek
>>744553001kola is really good
wasn't lima captain zack's boyfriend?
>MKLeo in GF?Waht happenedWhy am I back in 2019
>>744555476iirc just a friend, but he is also a faggot that participated in the Nairo shit.Should've been banned too.
>hmw commsbased nigga
my indian friend passed away recently and had a nintendo themed funeral. super smash brothers brawl was his favorite game. RIP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6B5RuAPcpEI wish these bitches played singles instead
>Zain and RapM meeting this deep into bracketWalt's going to be able to feed his family for another 6 months off of this shit.>>744555592He got over the girlfriend debuff.
just powershield the misfires bro
>>744556332they did fecfec lost to fart smella in pools and i4 lost to jcam and darkjewx
I don't think RapMonster can beat Llod, so I'd rather see Zain in GFs
Having a crowd mic while having two games play top 8 on the same stage at the same time is dumb
>game 4 Leo>in 2026Crazy
i see trannies in the crowd
How is Zain rank 1? Every time I watch him in top 8 he dies to nothing dozens of times.
rapmonster is the first top player to be younger than me. i wish i was good at something bros...
>>744555063Nevermind based Rapemonster
>>744556616The top player meta changed. I don't think he's significantly worse than he was at his peak.
RRRREEEEEESSSSEEEEEEETTTTT
>>744556569>>744556443WHAT IS HAPPENINGHE RESETED THE FUCKING BRACKETHOWHOWFUCKING HOWHE WAS WASHED SINCE 2023HOW IS HE DOING THIS AGAIN
how the fuck is llod in grands
I said it last ult tournament but Leo makes this game actually fun to watch.>Dash attack off stage>Snake blows up from own grenade>Leo already up in the air to hit him with the up BSo fucking sick. It's not Melee but it's actually hype.
why are they doing wrestling chants
>peach luigi
It's so comical watching Ultimatefags try to hype up the game. Every single stock grinds to a screeching halt at around 100% because most characters only have one or two kill confirms that work, and even those stop working at higher %s. The pace of the game is fucking dismal, it's no wonder that the meta is so campy.>>744556787I only really like watching Leo, Light, and sometimes Sparg0.
failed offstage runoff suicide dair while 1 stock up into losing the game should be called the Zain
>>744556818Light is definitely the other one who is fun to watch but he consistently disappoints me. He fills up 6th/8th all the time.
Please take game 1 Rap, that's all I ask
>>744556786he only had to beat moky and hbox (both frauds)
>>744556865Having listened to him talk on EE's podcast, he's earning that disappointment. He didn't even do VoD review until recently, and doesn't study MUs. I'm not saying he's bad, but he just doesn't do what top players need to do except attend tournaments.
Thank you, Jesus. What a misfire.
lucky asf kek
has rape monster won a tournament before
>>744557168No, not a major singles bracket. I believe he's won doubles.
>>744557168he's won tournaments but not a major
>>744557168regionals yeah
>>744556695He lost to Soonsay, he's definitely off this tournament
It's honestly ludicrous how long characters survive in Ultimate. 3 minutes for a single fucking stock against Snake. Yes, I know he's a heavy, but his recovery is also part of the problem.
Good run by Leo, but Ultimate is too AIDS for someone aggressive to win
holy kino
>fr fr
>>744557312Hurt has among the strongest defensive playstyles in the meta. He refuses to die.
armada would have never lost to luigi
IS IT HAPPENING???
>>744557624armada wouldn't lose to most modern top players
>>744557624Armada is out of practice and doesn't play. Zoomers on netplay are unironically better than "MUH GODS" era thanks to all the resources, framedata and set up we have now.
>>744557624he would have gotten raped. the luigi's back then were complete dogshit, he wouldn't be prepared
>CC makes the game dogshithmw speaking truth
>>744557745in practice armada would beat most of these players. everyone is carried by some combination of controller mods and button remaps. armada also playing the cheating game would triple 4 stock all of these shitters
>>744557867>some combination of controller mods and button remapsis this the standard for melee now? what cheats are being used?
>>744557867lol armada was the original controller autist
llod has been playing melee for over 20 years. he deserves this more. rapmonster is young and uber talented so he'll get another chance, probably this year
MAMA FUCKER
God damn, what a nail-biter.>>744557813CC / ASDI down is a necessary evil, but part of the problem with Melee specifically is that its effect on the meta is so asymmetrical. You have characters who barely benefit from it, and then you have characters who can ruin you off of one CC interaction like Peach or Sheik.
>>744557934I assume you've heard this storyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R-iYYvZ1jc
melee isn't the same without amsa
>>744557867He doesn't play nigga lol
>>744557982The lights are too bright for unc
>>744557982llod is the biggest controller cheater of them all. dont remember what exactly he does but its some modifier that makes some peach specific tech easy
>>744557982Pretty crazy that a Melee major GFs in 2026 is a high school Luigi vs. a Peach with gray in his beard
>>744558072take english classes again pajeet
>super kino top 8>nostalgiafags bitching on /v/can't make this shit up
Leosisters...
>>744558121>10 years ago everyone thought it would be fox fox>current day all the fox player's hands have exploded or they all killed themselves>only floaty players left
>>744558180the no items fox only final destination meme is such a joke
god I hate Dreamlandnot the music though, it's kino
>>744558180>>current day all the fox player's hands have exploded or they all killed themselveskek true
>Luigi vs Peachoh great, time for an Ultimate match
>>744558136Not understanding basic english is a (you) problem. Aramada has been retired longer than he was active and thinking he would beat any of these guys in current year is delusional.
Would he be only the second peach to win a major? I'm a casual
>>744558180desu the current foxes are just such jobbers, cody would win this, leff would win this if he still cared
>>744558180it's not really a surprise everyone knows the fox MU and can beat all fox players from playing the MU more than any other MU. people are just now learning the luigi MU after years of quitting out on all luigis on slippi.
>>744558084He's a z-jumper
>>744558269>*CLAP* >*CLAP* >*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
>>744558371It could be worse, we could be watching Peach Puff
this set is fucking nuts lmao
Holy kino
RoA is better than both of these games. Brand allegiance is the death of all good things
744558462go back, sharteen
>rigs >still lose
check the disk. running a hypothesis test on rapmonster's misfire percentage rn
What is this set man.
>>744558567Go watch it then :^)
fuck it I want llod to win now fuck this rng merchant

>>744558616>rng merchantpeach has like a 5% chance to pull out one of>dot eyes>stich face>beam sword>bomb>mr saturnthat pretty much all turn the game around
>>744558724hasn't been meaningful this set
>>744558567probably but I'm not playing a furry game
why the fuck would this retard go to fd against peach when luigi rapes on platforms
>>744558567roa sucks ass, especially roa2
>>744558724>5%1%*
armada could win tournaments solo peach without hyperfloat autism that requires a glitched controller
haven't watched melee in years but had to show up to see this with my vros after i saw clutchbox xeet about a new character/player winning a supermajor
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO>>744558750not true she got that beamsword that rapmonster stole
nigga choked
HOLY SHIT
>>744558817>the greatest player of all time was great at the game
llodmore likeloss
what are they waiting for...
>>744558817Armada got raped by Leffen and Hbox into becoming a fox main
>>744558567Melee = RoA > 64 > Ultimate > 4This isn't the time or place, though. That said, the RoA2 bracket at GomL was actually sick despite Cake playing so off.
>>744558567I'm not playing your shovelware.
>>744558817>guy who doesn't play can beat the people who actually playNext you're gonna tell me Michael Jordan would beat everybody.
>>744549468>All your big names retire except your biggest player>Ban him >No one left watching Hmmm
lights are too bright for llod
crazy vgbc have been doing this for 15 years and still can't game capture without frame drops
WEEGEE BROS IT'S OVER FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK
llod is winning it.. le sigh
>>744547701>Mang0 banned>Turned into literal who show with all the old big players in losers bracket Interesting
>>744555015>be RoAfag>mfw 3 cakesAnd if the Ultimate bracket sucks, I just get to laugh at Ultimatefags, it's a win-win
>>744559005it's FOD bro
>>744559030Mang0 and Hbox are load-bearing players, the yin and yang.
>>744559030I thought he was unbanned by now
>>744559130Last time he signed up for a tourney there was massive backlash with fags pulling out so he backed off to not rock the boat
>>744559130you don't get unbanned from smash unless you suck the nepobabies cock
rapm will get his major win, it just wasnt today
OH NO NO NO NO NO
not a super majorbut still happy for llod
>>744559193that never happened. he went to evo and no one cared.
no popoff cam is criminal
>>744559130I think he's still banned for a little longer, but he's been competing in Rivals 2. Got 9th at Evo and 4th at S Factor 2 weeks ago. Was also #1 on the ranked leaderboard leading up to Evo.Last time I heard, he has no interest in competing in Melee anymore, but he'll probably come back despite what he says.
thanks doc
MELEE BELONGS TO THE BOOMERS
unc gets one win in his 20 years of competitive melee, meanwhile rapmonster is 19 years old, has college classes in the morning, and multiple major grand finals under his belt.
dang...Still, that was a crazy set, especially for a floaty matchup. If it weren't for rapmonster and n0ne I would've been rooting for llod in this top 8. Goodass melee
>>744559251It happened for smash. He's not banned from rivals
fuck llod and fuck peach fucking faggot tranny ass character and FUCK armada that farting swedish bitch
>>744559308nopony cares about 2nd place
>>744559130he is unbanned but said he isn't going to any melee tournaments for the rest of the year. if he wants to play he'll go to genesis next year, apparently he was supposed to be at GOML but his flight got cancelled
>>744559324There's always someone bitching when he enters Rivals brackets, but even on Reddit they get shouted down. Everyone knows his ban was bullshit and the Ludwig is a snake.
based protagonist losing to semen slurper at the last second. absolutely cucked.
falco will never be in a top 8 again btw
>>744559324rivals has a decidedly larger proportion of tranny players than melee so I'm a little skeptical
Is he the second peach to win a major?
>>744559405falco is below luigi on the tier list
>>744559374Why does the snake always get rewarded? Ludwig fucking sucks.
impossible to be hyped for any of this when you know it's just fucking around without puff on the screen
>>744559405this but unironicallywithout mango it will never happen
>>744559374Blows me away how he got out unscathed. The fucking host of the event dumping gallons of alcohol down his throat and he somehow shifted the blame? If any charges were actually thrown around he would 100% be liable
>>744559405well yeah falco is cooked without mang0
>>744559405honestly you need a high IQ to play falco at top level. look at how mang0 plays against cody and zain. Every match he has to pull out a completely new mixup or combo no falco has ever done before. There are no b&b falco combos at the top level.
>>744559505>there was alcohol nigga who cares it's a party
>>744559505tf lol mang0 is a grown ass man you making it sound like he has no agency
>>744559505The real funny thing is that he lets his gf get sexually harassed by Hassan right in front of him and he just does nothing lmao.
>>744559405
>>744559412I've been to locals for both and Melee has a worse infestation. The Rivals 2 trannies all get weeded out by top 8 with the exception of Sophilo, who's fun to watch get tilted. The actual top players in Rivals 2 are all normal white dudes. Case in point, 3rd place at Evo was a straight, white, Christian male with a family, wearing a crucifix.>>744559405I've come to terms with this faggotry.
>>744559590Link? Sounds fucking hilarious.What is it about Cenks nephew that turns leftoids into literal cucks?
>>744559578If course he has agency. However if you got to a bar and they feed you alcohol till you die they are also liable. If the hypothetical bar owner was encouraging said binge drinking they would be extremely liable

>>744559563>nigga who cares it's a partyBasically everyone involved for some reason
>>744559692sounds like overblown dramab8 desu
bruh wtf is Z jumpis this just another cheat controller winner?cody shwab 2.0?
>>744559806i think it's a mickey mouse win
>melee trannies when they add button mapping
>>744559778>Air humping with their cock in revealing clothing>Literally the exact same thing mang0 didFucking kek
>>744559892z jump without modifications to the z button sucks. also the only reason why we don't have in-game button remapping is because nintendo already threw a fit over frozen stadium mods, so imagine how they'd react to additional menu options.
>>744559936That's crass
This was my first tourney in person and it was awesome. Saw quite a few trannies though. The stereotypes are true lol
How do we remove lud from being the face of platform fighters?
RAPMONSTER PLAYING PM https://www.twitch.tv/pplusside
>>744560104I legitimately don't understand how this dickrider got relevant in the first place. That said him being the publisher for RoA means never ever
>>744560139people actually play this?!?!
so did anything come up with that zjump discourse debate with Cody and N0ne?
>>744560358llod just said he won because he practiced z jumping for a month lmao
>>744560358Nah. Jews gonna Jew
>>744560358Everyone just accepted that nothing will change and Melee is a game for cheaters now
>>744560521>nowhas been for 15+ years since controller notching went from vice to virtue
>>744560615Shield drop notches and firefox notches aren't the same level of cheating
>>744560358no, i hope this sparks it up again since llod zjumps but nothing ever happens
>>744560671It's a constant pushing of boundaries, allowing more and more "quality of life" changes that benefit those entrenched in the scene with modded gear and being buddy-buddy with TOs
>>744560447>a monthif this isnt enough to get z jump banned this game is doomed
>>744560358it's about self interest not principles. fox benefits from zump more than other characters so it's essentially a fox buff that makes the best character in the game even stronger. cody wants to keep his advantage. n0ne doesn't want his already weak matchup to become even more hopeless.melee is also full of millennials who grew up during peak woke so banning controller mods logically entails banning b0xx as well which is ableist or something
>>744560785He's been z-jumping for years, he was just talking about switching to using it for wavedashing recently
>>744560150>edited combo videos>became friends with slime>appeared in slime productions>connections to slime allowed him to start commentating>got a degree in marketing or something, realized there's a formula to success>brute forces becoming a streaming/youtube "personality">gets filthy rich>gives back millions of dollars to the community that got him started, hosts invitational tournaments, contributes to prize pots, covers venue fees to boost entrant count, sponsors top melee playersi don't see the problem with this
>>744561018zjump also disproportionately benefits peach as well
>>744558770Anon, Melee *is* a furry game...
>>744561240In a vacuum, there's nothing wrong with the stuff he's actually doing in the FGC / platform fighter community. It's just that he's very overtly a egotistical grifter who's willing to throw people under the bus to protect himself and his brand. He's a fake.But I don't mind him putting money into Melee / Rivals 2 because it doesn't really matter beyond optics.
>>744561907cool argument, still not playing melee but worse and easy (roa)
>>744561907i personally don't give a shit either way
>"Play Rivals 2." - Plup
>>744558567rivals character designs are assits funny how much less noisy and engaging the game looks with the DK and Puff mods, if the game wasn't full of deviantart OCs it would be more interesting
>>744558987who'd they ban? leffen?
>>744559030>>744559130>>744559214>>744559251>>744559193how the fuck did mango get banned??
>>744562374I've left it sitting around for months, none of the characters resonate with me
>>744562374i do. it's alright.>>744562643i had the opposite experience, but i'm a PM player at heart. olympia (RIP), galvan, and la reina are some of the most fun characters in any platform fighter. olympia might be my #1 of all time.
>>744562601ludwig invited a known alcoholic to a livestreamed binge drinking event and pretended to be shocked when he humped the air next to a girl's head.
nevermind it's the same onedidn't know he was such a faggot
>>744557437Miya wins all the time, though.
Mkleo is the only player who makes Ultimate look fun and Cody/Hbox for Melee. I think I'm at the point in my life where if they are knocked out I'll just stop watching.
>>744562374does plup have the world's highest platform fighter IQ or is the talent level in the rivals scene low from the game being so niche? imagine if kola started winning super majors, 3-0'ing zain and cody every time.
>>744564020>CodyFuck off zoomer melee is a millennial game
>>744562601>>744562754>event centered around drinking too much and acting like an idiot >get surprised when people drink too much and act like idiots The worst part is that shit has nothing to do with super smash bros. It wasn’t at a smash tournament, and he just acted like an ass. Absolutely ridiculous.
>>744564020ibdw is boring to watch. sometimes when he reaches grand finals i just close the stream and do something else instead.
>>744564020>Mkleo is the only player who makes Ultimate look funFuck no, he just plays cancerous DLC shit.
>>744564152Cody makes Fox look like Neo in the Matrix. What he can pull off with the character is unparalleled now and might never be replicated again. Even if he is obnoxious, you don't understand melee if you aren't impressed with his play.
>>744564186Only entertaining part about that Jew is when he spent a month lying about how he was groomed into banging his mom for #metoo points
>>744564250Go to bed, Cody. Yes, you play well with your adderall and your cheater controller, but you’re still a faggot and no one likes you.
>>744564230He's the only player who uses Joker at top level and Joker is a very flashy character. But yeah when he uses Aigis I just space out.
>>744564365>Genesis X3>Battle of BC 6>Big House 11even one of these loser's runs would put him in GOAT contention but he has three of them. He also challenged Zain to a exhibition match for the number one ranking in 2023 even though it was his to lose since he was going to take the #1 spot which is based. He's the only player who can make his victory seem inevitable despite being in the loser's bracket. I repeat, Cody is the best Fox of all time and at his peak performance, with the aid of Fox being the best character in the game, a fact his performances remind everyone of, is the greatest player of all time.
>>744564432>He's the only player who uses Joker at top levelGorioka just got 2nd at a major.
>>744564541>Literal who that never left Japan and has never won a major, much less a supermajor unlike LeoBruh
Cody is a dysgenic jew who fucked his mom, but I have to admit he is a great player. Probably the only one I'd put above Zain at their peaks.
>>744564615>>Literal who that never left JapanTwo things completely wrong there. Safe to assume you aren't that familiar with Ultimate then.>BruhRetarded.
>>744564535Come on Cody get your ass to bed
>>744564672>who fucked his momWho lied about fucking his mom because he is a mentally ill Jew
>>744564704I am familiar with ultimate enough to know he's never won a major or supermajor. He's a literal who, sorry to say.
>>744564761>I am familiar with ultimate enoughBecause you literally had to look him up. Either way, Leo isn't the only top Joker player.
Zackray is the only notable Joker from Japan and I'm pretty sure he soft retired.
>>744564856>Because you literally had to look him up.Because he was someone who never won a major or super major even in his home country, yes. If he was relevant I would know about him like acola, hurt, protobanham, doramigi, zackray, tea, etc.
>>744564743Doesn't he also have a male gf?
>>744564672yeah hes pretty good when he zjumps, mods the fuck out of his controller for a competitive advantage, and play on performance enhancing drugs. very impressive stuff indeed
>>744564432>Ayyhah>gun>back air>rise repeatFlashy my ass, and Arsene is still ultra gay even if it doesnt last forever anymore, and platform infinites are lame. Joker/Personafags really need to stop coping about that faggot character and just realize hes the most bland DLC character even over Banjo and Sora. Theres a reason even Leo doesnt like playing him, Leo makes everyone he plays seem somewhat entertaining. Even Aigis' #25481 and boringass Lucina he can show off swag.
>>744564931Yes he has (it has at least) a tranny significant other who he frequently talked about getting pregnant one day. Again mentally ill Jew
>>744564865zackray mostly plays Pit and ROB now. Gorioka is the only notable active Joker there and he's a jobber.
>>744564972Leo has a way with Joker that set him apart, His drag downs, corner carries, and deep off stage play is amazing. Also he's literally, and I mean literally, the only one who swags with Rebel's Guard. Not even peak Zackray dared to use that move.
>>744564987Not all of them, but always them. Why do they have to be a fucking problem?
>>744564020>cody>fun to watch???
>>744564124It's the former. He's like the opposite of Mang0, who STILL refuses to parry even though it would solve a lot of his problems with RoA2. I think the 3 most versatile platform fighter players of all time are:>Plup>VoiD>SandstormThe nice thing about Plup is that he's not unbeatable. He won Evo this year, but he bled for it. I think Cake could've forced a grand finals reset if he had more confidence in his Forsburn.
>>744564987i forgot not that i care but is his so mtf or ftm?
>>744565942Mtf of course
>>744564987
>>744565883Mang0 has always been stubborn. He was the last of the top melee players to learn to ledgedash and shield drop consistently.
>>744565990also by his own admission he struggled a lot with transitioning from the "don't get hit", shield heavy defensive meta to the, "take the hit and trade", CC and SDI heavy defensive meta which contributed to his multi-year slump in the late 10s
>>744566126interesting
Hurt is so based.
>>744566218Snake is pure AIDS, but I root for him because I love seeing Ultimatefags suffer and I find his Sonic autism endearing. Even his tag sounds like a Sonic OC>I'm Chillhowl... Chillhowl the hedgehog...
>>744565961i wonder what the massive cope will be when he finds out his gf cant get pregant because its a MAN
>>744566440>Technology isn't there yet just a couple more years
>>744564251seriously what the fuck was up with thathe definitely lied about it right? why?
