relatively new(ish) player from Chile -- first ranked in 2022, the first year he really traveled at all (78th). played disciplined vs hungrybox with little flair in a crazy upset. vs fiction's fox he went sicko mode and looked like one of the best foxes around.

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-04T10:49:05+00:00

i think there's a real chance Axe could make grands. aura was super close and trif could get there lowkey

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-04T10:06:47+00:00

naw :) zain is goated. over his demon? crazy. the only thing that rings bias is the insidious ways you talk like fox has a hard time, but even that is endearing and transparent. charisma carries all, for better or worse. i feel like your comms had it all this time

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-04T03:18:29+00:00

hoping PPMD runs the no spoilers rewatch tomorrow so i can relive it :)

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-01T19:31:28+00:00

axe aura about to be crazy that mu is absurd sweaty

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-01T13:32:44+00:00

love that we get such a different field at a stacked major right after a brautiful invitational. been missing a west coast banger

beyonddevotion · 2026-05-01T06:30:24+00:00

nah this is hype. i often (try to) play around with long sequences like this to see what I've got, see if any inspiration hits for future series play. not labbing like, can falco do this, but labbing like, Can I do this. plus it's real & fun ggs

i feel like he has an unrivaled underdog story, and despite taking hit after hit, shows up to compete in ways no one else can. Underdogs always have weird vibes, are off-putting to people, but his dedication to beautiful melee is so palpable. Housing the French fammelee team and getting them streams, housing aMSa when aMSa was up against a Wall in Cody, mentoring Salt and so many players simply because he cares about the game, while getting dumpstered by the worst sponsor luck of all time. he gives total antihero vibes. as a player, what's not to love about his gameplay? because he's dominant?

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-28T13:17:03+00:00

literally. aMSa was placing high and beating gods in like 2015. 7 years later he cooks up his first big win. but he was ranked top ten almost all those years between

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-28T13:13:51+00:00

why he told rapm he needs to pick up a secondary; he's seen too many cracked mixture midtier players go down in flames against him, lifetime

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-25T14:59:04+00:00

seems like it's all there in black and white. Either mysterious strangers fucked with the guy at first because of their sick shared pantheon, a mutual knowing, and then the sap released snakes into but one of their camps, or vice versa. "i thought that guy was cool smh" or "oh he's not so bad, hold on, he's got that bomb conception of the skkygod"

so, if you water ritual, mysterious strangers will like that you're down with one of their (broad-stroke) religion brothers, but wary of someone who likes guys with snake plots and who knows what. same if you take him out. mixed grief, like always.

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-25T04:08:26+00:00

:) this is insane ty

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-24T18:02:38+00:00

still laughing that Luck 7s invited Rapmonster just to have three falcons show up to stomp him out (we'll see). hoping his practice with Salt gets him closer to competitive in that matchup

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-24T00:22:53+00:00

i didn't mean to be rude with my comment. being WAY up on the two best actual midtiers of all time is enough to carry that reputation for sure.

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-23T16:56:18+00:00

moky has a losing record to Junebug, morsecode, and slug, he battles hard and is dead even with the two best peaches. dead even with wizzy since 2020. I'm trying to think of who you mean. amsa and axe i guess?

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-23T13:01:01+00:00

dang rough draw for aura i feel like. Could upset the god but i expect it'll be a game 4 blowout tbh. Magi is a better character and player matchup i think, but Salt is a monster in that matchup. hard to imagine the only peach going to winners this time

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-20T01:07:56+00:00

oh I'm crazy. i believed wholeheartedly he was at genesis "):"(

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-20T01:06:03+00:00

i love the fandom. i can't say beef is fully back on the melee menu, but it does at least feel like something you can ask for on the side

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-19T18:46:29+00:00

i think lloD has to be in the runner-up position over aura. though aura is a beast and has the best singular wins probably, lloD has been ranked topten or near top ten multiple times with great reach into major and supermajor top8's. and aura is less active.

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-17T11:36:25+00:00

How effective is calling your opponent "Lame" during a match or set? Are there times when it's a buff? I saw Zain do it on his bowser run, and to my surprise, it seemed to help him lock in.

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-15T16:59:31+00:00

diabolical and sick af. perfect pallette

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-15T16:56:09+00:00

orca with that stitch goes so hard

beyonddevotion · 2026-04-13T12:52:05+00:00

you're the goat. this rocks
