Nice to see Liquid picking up more and more Smash players (Even if not a huge fan of Sm4sh and more a melee kind of guy myself)

Always a Liquid fanboy even if he plays sm4sh and even if he started as Meta Knight in Brawl. Even the TMNT managed to rise to great heights from the sewer. In all seriousness though, welcome to team, hopefully he can do good things for that game.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

I used to feel this way about smash 4 but it seems to be getting better over time. It will never be melee but you can differentiate yourself and its not always campy.


Smash 4 is rarely campy nowadays. Will there be more campyness then melee? Sure, but that's purely because of the huge character roster and there being way more playstyles possible then melee.

The fact that there's a player that won 45+ tournaments in a row, from weeklies to majors does indicate that there's a significent skillcap that 99% of the pro scene isn't even getting close of reaching. And when the game keeps growing and top matches look more like this set after the first game:



Smash 4 will have a really bright future ahead of itself. Unless Sakurai releases a patch that ruins the competitive aspect of it but the last few patches have balance wise definitly been going in the right direction.



Ya I'll admit before Smash Con watching smash 4 wasn't something I had much interest in since the competitive play right after release wasn't that fun to watch. But after watching it and especially the match you linked I'll definitely be tuning in to more tournaments. I really enjoyed ESAM and Nairo.

ignoring shiek and zss players, smash4 is actually fun to watch
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

Smash 4 is played on the Nintendo Wii U (It's official title is Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. A mouthful.)

Haven't really followed the smash community. When he says "the dude who's lost no tournaments" is that Mew2King?

Also is HungryBox's text box cut off for anyone else?

Edit: Just needed to maximize my screen. So what's the deal with this "ZeRo" dude? Where'd he come from?

Also, Congrats to Nairo and Team Liquid!

Zero is currently to Smash4 what Flash was to 2009-2011 BW. Except a bit moreso. He actually has not dropped a series in something like 8 months.

You must be forgetting 2009 Jaedong, and even the 2010 one.
