Rusp, you're going to miss out
I really am not as good as any of you think
and you don't have a LAN adapter
That too
Yeah, lag switching will be called out in a tournament
The lag is never my fault
It’s Bopit
he says in that video that LAN adaoters are mandatory
Little do they know that even with one my internet is mediocre at best
How the fuck do they enforce that though
pictures?
I'll send you a picture of mine Rusp
with timestamp
screenshots of your switch homescreen
I don’t really feel like doing this tournament
they are doing tag checks for score verification
come ooooooooon
Because I’ll get like 400th place or something
And it will be a big waste of time
I can’t even play my best character well on slightly bad wifi
I would have to play fucking pit or something
Actually I guess Ness is a good wifi character
https://youtu.be/Ea8mk1oH3k4 Zelda is a character now btw
Why did he play hero
first massive upset of the tournament
he was using snake first then switched
hero is his counterpick against zoners
probably the best Hero player in the world
Hungrybox just beat a Top 50 player with Jigglypuff
Emvee's game was god awful
now Wolfe is ranked second
They're facing off next week
with so much tie break that he will be 1 if Joey loses
Don't see joey losing
i wasn't expecting Emvee to lose this week
He'll get smashed in playoffs, but he usually dominates the initial rounds
Emvee and duncan are friends and they had an unspoken agreement to bring crazy sets, emvee screwed himself hard with his
Wolf's got a really tough matchup next week though
that sounds like the perfect situation to play special steelix, but neither had it i presume
Special steelix was standard in NU I think
sheer force life orb glitch?
Yeah, special attackers for some reason become exponentially better in lower tiers
why is this the first comment i see on the video
Conk basically sweeps from turn 1 and can mach punch vish, toad either walls or kills wolf's top tier picks, xatu almost entirely nullifies orbeetle, wolf still has no ground types to take on dracozolt, duraludon gets walled by av escavalier, arcanine's speed tier lets it kill almost all of wolf's team with prior damage
The one advantage wolf has is that grimmsnarl isn't that great vs him because it loses to his g-max, rotom can burn, avalugg always walls, and non-prankster whimsicott can encore/moonblast it
This set runs train on his team
how does it like being ditto countered?
It's not at all
Volt absorb lets it out-stall ditto's 5 pp
It doesn't need any other moves because wolf has no electric immunity, but flamethrower breaks through avalugg if need be
Thunder wave will let it harass everything that can break its sub, and ditto can't transform into something with a sub up
that MoistCr1tikal $20k prize pot smash tournament is on pace to have the largest smash tournament entrant count ever
I like that he explains taxes to the entrants
but only top 8 gets payouts and there is no chance a newbie makes top 8
except for rusp
who will win 1st

Elliot played like trash
Cybertron probably won't upload his for awhile because he is in Australia for that tournament Wolfey tweeted about
Hope he can use his vgc wins to bounce back in draft
he was commentating
Hope he can use his commentating to not spend a million years picking his moves in draft
every arcanine will be replaced with incineroar in march
They can't exclude a gen 7 starter from gen 8
Incineroar was by far the most used pokemon in last season
and box legends were legal
I saw his video on it
Almost feel like incineroar deserves an award
rotom wash being the most used rotom seems strange since people are saying its the worst of the relevant ones this season
Well, they want one to round out their teams don't they
why not go mow then?
Everyone's using arcanine, and grass doesn't have many great resists to help build a core
But you tell me
i don't fully understand why mow is the best anyway
