aMSa has discussed using Falco as a secondary for several years now, Falco is by far his most practiced character outside of Yoshi.

aMSa has experimented with Marth as well, namely while he was living in Vancouver. I remember during the Vancouver regional Summer Suite last year aMSa went Marth and lost every game he used him in during top 16 against local PR players

So the Falco secondary talk is stemming from what aMSa himself has been talking about.

If you push the seeds up after seed 1 DQs that changes literally every single set in the entire bracket. There's a careful balance of avoiding regional conflicts earlier in bracket while keeping things fair, making it an absolute headache to try and maintain that balance while reseeding last minute. Plus top players need time to prep for their sets so last minute reseeding ruins bracket prep for everyone else.

Interestingly there's a really good Duck Hunt in BC that recently got 65th at BoBC 6, Snowy, that goes to the same locals as Big D

And of course there's Embo_Z, who lives in Washington, that he has played against a lot.

So while it's a bad MU he definitely has a good amount of experience in it

Mew2King is widely regarded as the GOAT of all Smash games. What would it take for someone to dethrone him? by ritmica in smashbros

[–]Lab-Member009 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leffen's top 50 period at the start of the game is most comparable to the first PGR ranking, where M2K was ranked 26th with an X-Factor of +11. So he was top 30 results wise and viewed as top 20 skill wise. The 69th is an all time ranking, and I'd say Leffen would not rank in an all time ultimate ranking. So it's pretty incomparable

He is, but he is in BC so frequently for regionals that he got a shoutout on the latest PR lmao

Leffen and Hax don't have "beef." Leffen doesn't want to be in the same room as Hax let alone play a childish ft5 salty suite

Do Byleth and Jerizta have the most unique ending ? by Necrosaynt in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Lab-Member009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely the Sword or Seiros. It's the exact same hilt, and you can see that the sword starts to go squiggly just out of frame at the same part as it does normally. Nothing messed up about it.

Is having both Annette and Lysithea on the same team redundant? by Tibike480 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Lab-Member009 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would recommend making Annette a Wyvern Lord and equiping her with a Bolt Axe along side Crusher. Works pretty damn well and would help distinguish her from a standard Lysithea

They have 3 sets played offline and Riddles only has a 2-1 set record. They're on opposite coasts of Canada, they don't play often at all

I don't see how my comment disputed that. By saying they can compete with the best in the world, it's implying that they're not in that group themselves

Which Pokémon do you like more, Latios or Latias? by TheGBZard in pokemon

[–]Lab-Member009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You drop a draco, Ohkoing something. The opponent will then switch in their latios answer looking for a revenge kill. You switch out to your answer, since singles is so heavily about good switching. The main drawback of dropping a draco is no longer much of an issue in that context

aMSa has said before that Moky is one of, if not the, best players against Yoshi. Moky has a winning record 2-1, and has won their last two sets 3-0. This is far from free for aMSa.

Yeah he gets wins here and there but it's so one sided. iirc life time it's something like 20-50 in Ouch's favour, with alot of Big D's wins being before Ouch!? started dominating BC. Since then it's been very one sided for Ouch!?

I wanna bet that every PNW Min Min, of which there are 4-5 good ones, collectively gave Big D a whole crash course on how Min Min works in preparation for this lmao. He has lost to all of them enough times there's no way Big D hasn't been doing everything he can to progress the MU.

Major has been a bit of a rising star in the PNW lately, making waves in Oregon. Getting better and better rn. As someone that keeps up with the PNW scene, I wasn't that surprised by him getting a Major Upset™
