Now that the Smash Summit 2 is only 2 weeks away and the roster is set, what are your thoughts on this event?
Looking forward to any upsets? Mafia? Esam getting brutally beaten all weekend?
Wait, the voting was finished? Who were the 6 that got in?
>>333645889
Hax, ESAM, S2J, PewPewU, Wobbles and Ice
i pray to jesus christ super star pewpewu stays away form the commentary mic
ESAM will be playing against the best in the world right off the bat. No pools or shit to warm up. He'll get exposed and it'll be glorious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34IpODI6t5A
Why does he do this to himself? What is Smash 4 doing to him?
>>333646294
I hope everyone goes extra hard on esam just to show him how weak he is and how he doesn't deserve to be there. He might beat PPU because he's a fucking fraud but that's about it
Been away from the Smash scene for a while because of shitty notebook that doesn't allow me to watch streams
So what's the deal with ESAM?
>>333647827
Overall faggot. Sm4sh people voted for him, a flamewar occured, he made a whiny post about everything and now everyone hates him.
It will make the number of viewers during the Summit even bigger though.
>>333647827
Smash 4 community voted ESAM into the Summit and now everyone is butthurt as fuck.
Esam is the fucking Alex19 of summit 2. His Samus is decent at most. He's going to get 0-2. I wish Lucky or Duck made it in instead.
It's a leddit post, but if you didn't hate ESAM before, you're definitely going to hate him after reading this
https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/4cb7q0/esam_on_smash_summit_drama/
>>333648992
I could see him beating PPU, Wobbles and maybe Ice. He beat PPU in the Pound crew battle, Wobbles plays fucking amazing sometimes and other times he busters out completely, Ice is the European SFAT, he's good but a bit overrated and it's not surprising to see him look good in one game and then get bodied in the next game.
Also Summit 1 had Alex19 AND Kage, both of which shouldn't have been there and got promptly 6-0'd in bracket. This one only has ESAM at least.
>>333648992
I just hope that annoying fuck stays off commentary for the most part.
At least Alex19 had the gall to do that much while he was there.
i wish duck had got in
tafo is overrated
hbox is still lame
i miss leffen as a competitor
>No PP
This isn't going to be same without him
>>333650348
PP fucking sucks ass now anyways
>>333645171
>Mafia
Mafia with Hbox playing? There's no way this could turn out badly.
>>333650527
he's going to get lynched on the first night
>>333650527
Do you really think they'll do Mafia two summits in a row? I'd be down for some Duck Duck Goose desu.
BA BA BA BA, BABABABABABABAAAAA
>>333650702
They can't, Duck got voted out.
Why are the only ones complaining about ESAM being in Summit redditor and channer nobodies when all the top Melee players either don't care or are friends with him?
why haven't you donated to fund Prince Abu at the Summit?
>>333650802
>>333651005
Alex19 called him a virgin and Westballz called him a faggot.
He's only friends with social outcasts like Plup and Hungryfat.
>>333651005
Well, top players shouldn't get into this shitfest, it wouldn't be good for their images. The rest of the people have nothing to lose.
>>333651140
>Westballz/ESAM grudge match at Summit 2
I wouldn't mind seeing that.
>>333651029
Niggas only want to fly Prince Abu out there so top players don't lose to Hbox.
If the top players want him there so much they should just pay for the flight themselves.
>>333651383
3-0 in favor of West. I don't think Esam will beat anybody at summit.
>>333651140
Alex19 calls everyone besides the people in his group a virgin and Westballz talks shit to everyone.
>>333651556
He can take games off a few players but the likelihood of him winning a single bracket match is like 100 to 1
Especially since he's likely to face armada first who is phenomenal at the samus matchup
>>333651556
>Putting money on Westballz
>The man that just got 33rd at Pound
kek
>>333649180
Disgusting. I can just feel his personality in his writing and I despise it. Everything about it is pretentious and cocky.
>>333650459
I think he's still top 10. Doesn't compete as well with the top 4, though.
>>333651652
The point is that not everyone likes ESAM, he's just a popular community figure and it wouldn't be smart to talk shit about him publicly.
Hungrybox for example is constantly defended here and yet tons of top players have said he's a douche i nperson
>>333646393
>Rocking back and forth while reciting pi
I think this is the most stereotypically autistic thing I've ever seen.
who /duck/ here?;_;
>>333650459
He only sucked at Battle of Five Gods and even that was 10th place.
>>333651943
He's washed up dude. Unlikely he ever makes top 8 at a major again.
>>333652083
We'll see. If he gets out of this mental cage of constantly being ill, then I think he'll be back. Big if though.
As hype as Summit will be, what I'm really looking forward to is EGLX and the return of Leff
ESAM is a melee player is chill with all the melee pros. why are you neckbeards who dont even play the gme triggered by this? Lucky and Duck would've taken Ls
>>333653191
EGLX is looking to be one of the best, if not the best tournaments of the year
>>333651943
He lost every match in his playoff group. 3-0 to macd, 3-0 to wobbles, 3-1 silent wolf and 3-1 to plup.
New mini doc, Ken vs Bombsoldier

When will m2k beat Armada and Hbox again?
>>333655219
>Hbox
Maybe once by the end of next year if you're lucky
>Armada
Never
>>333655219
Nope, his fox is old and busted and he stands no chance with sheik vs Armada's peach or hbox's puff.
>>333654232
ESAM is a dirty fuckhead who made this post
https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/4cb7q0/esam_on_smash_summit_drama/
whining and complaining about how he doesn't get much chance to improve in Melee and he needs to get in more than other dedicated Melee players. All while he registered for sm4sh but not Melee at Pound
I wouldn't mind if he actually committed to Melee, but he's just going to go back to sm4sh after he gets relentlessly BTFO by top players at summit. He's just doing this to spite the Melee community and get more attention for his sm4sh career
>>333651547
I don't even think practicing with Prince Abu will help people play Hbox as much as they think. They're different players and have different habits. Getting used to Abu's play might even make it harder to play hbox because you will expect different moves
I got my dick caught in the drawer again
>>333655219
M2K's hands are forever fucked, never
>>333657305
never was his hands, he's just a vastly inferior player compared to those 2
>>333647247
I hope everyone goes equally hard on him so that he has no excuses
So who will win summit?
Armada or Hungrybox?
>>333658869
ESAM.
>>333646393
Got me hard.
Full list of players?
>>333655002
dude, *I* could have beaten PP after he lost to MacD
the man just wanted to go home

Armada

M2K
Plup

Westballz

PewPewU
Ice
S2J

Wobbles
ESAM
What's this whole ESAM drama going on anyways?
How did Ice and Wobbles get in over Duck?
>>333660479
Ice had all of Europe for him. Leffen/Armada/etc sniped at the last moment.
And Wobbles is just incredibly well-liked by everyone, only ICs, and people want him commentary.
>>333660386
When will our lord and savior Leffen come to America?
>>333660896
When or if his visa issues ever get fixed.
>>333652083
I mean he made top 8 from winners in g3, he's inconsistent but capable.
>>333661001
He's going to have to drop TSM, that's all there is to it.
>>333660896
>>333661001
I will be shocked if Leffen makes it back to the US in 2016
honestly, he might never be allowed back
>>333661114
>he might never be allowed back
Really? I thought murricans were really hard on Visas with mexicans not everyone else.
>>333661230
leffen stole money from the government essentially. that shit is not taken lightly.
>>333661086
Yeah joining TSM was a huge mistake. He shouldve joined some Euro team like Armada.
>>333661230
>Hard on mexicans
Good joke, lots of the south western states are full with illegals and no one does a damn thing about it.
>>333661369
>Yeah joining TSM was a huge mistake. He shouldve joined some Euro team like Armada.
Details pls.
>>333661523
He's the only european smasher with an American sponsor, so he was getting payment in USD while on a tourist visa, which is a big no-no.
Rumors fly of him not being able to get a new visa and passage back into the US for several years, but I'm sure he could make it soon-ish provided TSM mustered up some legal clout.
>>333661667
Woah shit, he is fucked.
>>333661667
What about Zero? He never seemed to have problems
>>333661369
I think he would've been better off applying for an American passport.
>>333661667
They should have kept that shit under the table.
>>333661230
It's the exact opposite actually, mexcrement have access to the TN visa which makes them one of the best nationalities in terms of ease of working in the US. Only canacucks, who also have access to the TN, and auslards, who have their own (actually slightly superior) E3 visa, can compare. Everyone else gets pretty much shit on.
>>333661346
>stole money from the gov't
What, he didn't report his sponsorship money on his taxes?
>>333661819
He seems confident that he'll be getting back in time for EVO. One can assume TSM is making some kind of effort to get him back into the country.
That being said, sponsors don't treasure their Smash players as much as their League/CS/DotA/etc teams who play for real big bucks, so it's hard to know what they're up to. They may just be hesitant to spend legal money on their Melee player.
So tell me /melee/, why is the melee community so fucking triggered by ESAM? Every single melee stream i watch got tons of ESAM shit posting and hatred like you wanna murder the guy or something and it makes you look really, REALLY bad.
>>333650459
The man has pretty serious health problems. Cut him some slack.
>>333662305
Melee brings in viewers. Leffen is a well known member in the community that brings hype and contention.
TSM will do their part.
>>333662359
The people who don't give a shit that ESAMlike myselfgot in aren't saying anything.
Yeah, he's not who I would have chosen, but he got the needed votes.
looking forward to
m2k in general
5 gods commentary
esam getting whooped by everyone and losing all his summitbux in just a couple hours
hbox x mango passive agressive 3-day marathon
>>333662359
He's a smug faggot, he's not good at the game, and to top it all off he plays Samus, which is a boring ass character when anybody but Plup is playing.
>>333662359
Most people are upset that he got in over other better players and I've heard that people dislike him personally
>>333662359
Not that good at the game yet forced himself into an event full of top 20 players
All around general cocky asshole (not really in a good way either, he's just an annoying douche)
Acts like a smug piece of shit in his youtube vids and acts like no other opinions besides his could possibly right
Is one of the nu beta males who are pushing the smash sisters bullshit
>>333662359
Made it into a top player MELEE invitational riding on Sm4sh fans just to spite melee fans. There were so many other deserving players that couldve made it instead of him.Hes also a SJW
>>333662635
>He's a smug faggot
Who isn't in this shitty community?
>He's not good at the game
Isn't he top 100?
>He plays Samus
I don't see this as a problem.
>>333662635
I guess he fits right into top level melee then.

>>333645171
I'm excited as fuck for mango marth vs peach possibly vs puff?
>>333662579
Speaking of hbox and Mango, my wish is that we get a HFox vs Mango's puff match. Would be fun to see how it turns out.
>>333662359
https://youtu.be/7UvCrvy9yLc?t=21m25s
>>333662781
>muh SJW
Yeah was amazing when alex19 got in last year.
The way that the community have handled the ESAM thing just exposes how childish and immature it is.
>>333662579
>5 gods commentary
No PP
>>333662894
HFox is shit though
>>333662894
Hbox would get wrecked. Pretty sure he said himself that he's not into that overly technical shit. Mango likely still has a Puff somewhere in him.
>>333662970
PP isnt a god anymore.
>>333662829
Im still really disappointed at how terrible he did at Pound but he wouldnt be westballz if he didnt pull shit like that.
There was some scrub posting he's seventh in the bavarian scene the other thread. That's funny, what are the chances that the actual number 7, which is me, reads it and laughs his ass off? Beld you fucking faggot I know it was you, you suck at melee and Sheik is a free character and yet you still can't win anything. Retard.
>>333663137
ESAM is going to be the whipping boy and I'm fine with that, but who the fuck voted in Ice? Why do we need more fraudulent un-innovative Fox players who literally zero chance of upsetting a god?
>>333652083
>Guy breaks his 6 year streak of top 8 finishes
>HE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN GUYZ
>>333663317
Mango doesn't want to play Puff, Hbox CAN'T play Fox
>>333662965
To be fair, Alex19 getting in last year was actually amazing.
That fox getting some ganondorf rape was almost as hilarious as myb
>>333663553
A ... tah.
A..... tah
will m2k ever be good at melee again bros?
>>333663808
No
M2K was only ever #1 because a lot of the top players were retiring around '07
>>333663808
Will he ever be GREAT again? No.
The dude is still good as fuck. Ask anyone not named mango hbox or armada.
>>333663419
>but who the fuck voted in Ice?
all of EU most likely
>entire continent voting for one guy and he still only barely got in
>>333663553
>>333663137
>>333663030
I'm not saying Hfox is good, but he did take Armada's Peach to last stock, which is a feat in itself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXAmu4UsV3g&list=PLzEAb-P9zkFwQ12ctPfFaH4UXA1CK_WiU&index=11
>>333663808
I dunno if he'll take a major again, but I think we will still see greatness from him.
>>333655431
holy fuck who actually read more than a paragraph of that pamphlet he wrote about himself
>>333663808
When he sees a doctor about his hand problems and figures out how to not to lose his own mental battles then we will see.
>>333663808
When he stops playing tr4sh.
>>333664106
now should I be impressed with Hbox to take 3 stocks of Armada´s peach with a fox that can´t even shorthop or laugh at Armada for losing 3 stocks to a fox that can´t even shorthop?
Armada did end up winning the tourney so it´s not like he was playing like shit.
i'm sad that plup is retiring.
>>333666404
He´s playing in a tournament right now nigger
>>333667007
a fucking local..
>>333666404
melee players retire every time they lose to ics or puff
>>333668874
kek, ain't that the truth.
and desu no one ever quits melee
>>333666404
nigga he's not even retiring
he's just not going that hard as usual, being more sparse with majors than before.
not the only smasher ever to do that.
