I find it quite hilarious that one of the most consistent sources of Wii Fit Trainer results is Captain Zack sandbagging against people.

 

[MistressRemilia]

I swear Game 1 of Zack vs Kirihara was pure bull****

 

[T4ylor]

Bayonetta is a fair and balanced character, Kirihara lost because he got outplayed kek

That said, I did expect Zack to win, and it was one that was deserved even though those early KOs are stupid

 

[TDK]

Villager might be top 5 if it wasn't for DLC bodying him so badly. Good stuff to WaDi though.

 

[MachoCheeze]

Y'all act like Kirihara didn't almost kill Zach at like 11% seconds into the first game.

 

[TDK]

If Kels hadn't SD'ed twice that could have been a completely different set. Oh well, good stuff to VoiD.

 

[FeelMeUp]

can someone please delete dlc so ranai can be a top 5 player

 

[Ziodyne 21]

Villager might be top 5 if it wasn't for DLC bodying him so badly. Good stuff to WaDi though.

Villager does pretty good vs Bayo as least though right?

and heck even are characters that arguably get blown up worse by DLC . Heck Rosalina may still be considered top 5 if it wasn't for DLC

Sadly ,its almost fact that and alone nearly invalidate most mid-low tier characters between them

 

[Fenny]

Villager does pretty good vs Bayo as least doesnt he/she

Not a lot better tbh

He gets eaten alive offstage

 

[TDK]

Some 2-0 IcyMist

I'd call that a minor upset

 

[Blue Banana]

Shuton over Rich Brown 2-1, now guaranteed winners top 48

 

[TDK]

Mistake beats IcyMist 2-0, knocking IcyMist out at 49th.

 

[Wintermelon43]

Black Yoshi took a game off of Abadango.

 

[TDK]

Black yoshi took a Set off of Abadango.

 

[Das Koopa]

wadi beating ranai is the least surprising upset of all time

Black Yoshi tho

 

[~ Gheb ~]

It's kind of fascinating to see what kinds of things qualify as "upset" for people these days.

 

[FullMoon]

How does Some beating IcyMist even qualify as an upset...?

 

[TDK]

How does Some beating IcyMist even qualify as an upset...?

OrionRank has Icy somewhere around 10 spaces above Some, which is what I was going off of.

WaDi vs Ranai probably isn't an upset at all. Ranai isn't all that great at fighting Mewtwos.

 

[Das Koopa]

IcyMist has done well at every prior major and some's last several placements were 17th/33rd/etc. at big regionals in JP. Also has a better set history.

 

[TDK]

Blacktwins 2-1 DarkShad

Would this qualify as an Upset?

 

[Das Koopa]

yes

a decently large one at that

 

[Wintermelon43]

A Luigi took a game off of Komorikiri

 

[Das Koopa]

and then Komo camped him on battlefield and won

gg

 

[TDK]

ALLY LOST TO A KIRBY

 

[ARISTOS]

That Kirby's grounded movement was fantastic

 

[Das Koopa]

told people seagull would do it lol

 

[Fenny]

MDVA is cleaning up Japan for some reason this tournament lmao

 

[Vyrnx]

Ally's pool is melting down

 

[TDK]

T vs Ally, one of them doesn't make it out of pools

Please let Ally be shaken to his core after that Kirby match

 

[Das Koopa]

it'd be really funny if T won vs. Ally in loser's bracket

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Joe beating T isn't a big surprise, it just sucks that either Ally or T are going to place quite low now. Especially for T - imagine placing at a mere 49th despite only losing to two players as formidable as Seagull or Ally.

 

[Fenny]

T defo has a chance

If he can just space out Ally from a distance then he can definitely pull it off

Don't sleep on Ally though - he's one of the clutchest players out there

 

[Das Koopa]

if Ally makes it past T it'll be Ally vs. Ranai for 33rd lul

 

[Das Koopa]

T 1-0 Ally

 

[Fenny]

T 2-0 Ally

 

[Das Koopa]

critical typos

 

[Das Koopa]

Ally beats T 2-1

Ally vs. Ranai for 33rd tomorrow. jfc

 

[TDK]

****.

Ally 2-1 T

 

[Das Koopa]

in which seagull joe demonstrates why kirby is a bad character
