This tournament had such a great variety of characters in the top 8 and top 16. Very enjoyable to watch. Great to see Falco, MegaMan and Young Link put in the work in top 8! And a rare Mario too!
At this rate next year we might see what hbox pull off what mew2king did all those years ago Best in 2 seperate games m2k did it with melee and brawl so possible?
@@Hugo_Prolovski theres a reason why I said might I doubt he will I mean hes still not even the best puff basemage is. He has a way to go before even being on the pgru but I was more commenting on his momentum and rapid rise.
He can definitely be a top player with puff, but maybe not number 1. Dude has nerves of fucking steel, though. I don't think there's a single ranked player who has half as much tournament experience as Clutchbox, and it shows.
As a smash old timer with no time on his hands, I really appreciate these snippets of digestible insights into the goings on with the competitive scene. Thanks y'all.
Fun fact: Sultan, who Hungry Box beat, was the highest placing Solo Sora Main at 65th ever since Zackray placed 1st back in the beginning of the year using only Sora
I feel for Ned, man. Dude worked hard to earn 3rd seed only to have one of his worst tournaments this year. Hope it doesn't get to him cause he's seriously so good
Watching Tilde play really showed me how flashy and badass Falco combos can be, especially with him piloting the character. I have always been a Megaman fan (because of former Megaman main Kamene) so Peabnut popping off was also very welcome. The lack of (cringe) dlc was also very nice. Despite the lack of top 10-20 players, this tournament was very entertaining, more so than some of the larger one's for me.
@doctorkevin94 Any major in the time period where Sparg0 was (will be) using Cloud/Pyra, Leo was using Byleth/Pyra, and Cosmos used only Pyra. Leo said recently he's dropped Byleth completely for Joker/Pyra, and Sparg0 is returning again.
@doctorkevin94 Shuton also uses Pythra more often, then there were multiple not-so-well-known Pythra players in many major tournaments prior to Riptide.
One of the greatest tweets in Smash history? Everyone should know every greatest tweet in Smash history was from Crush. I need a backup of these so bad.
The DR scene is massively slept on, everyone knows about Sonix but there are so many more very talented players down there. 0mart, Sharpy, Keekay, Capitancit0, El Sabio and many more. Would be nice to see them travel more.
I live in the central ohio area And I missed this tourney by a day I know I wouldnt have even made it in pools but I still wanted to atend but Im just to far under a rock until its to late. Like I dont even know if theres weeklies in my area.
Great tournament for sure! Couldnt be happier as a falco main. Smash summit will be crazy though w,ith Sparg0 back, MKleo, Acola, Gluto, Light etc. GGs everyone
While this was a great tourney... By no means was it a major... Look at the stats. 0 Players we're ranked top 10 on the Orionrank and only 2 we're ranked top 30 on the orionrank. Also, none of the entrants in the tour have ever won a major. Barnard loop even said that riptide broke tts as it was such an outlier. Is it a Mickey mouse tourney.... No, but it isn't rly a major.
@@Cerberus._. I agree but I dosnt have to be a major to be entertaining and a possible telling of the future. Just like any sport it’s all in the mind and wining or placing in something like this gets people on a roll.
11:28 I think MD and VA are splitting up this season, mostly for the reasons illustrated by this tierlist: nobody in MD knows anyone in VA and nobody in VA knows anyone in MD.
That's because it takes like 4 hours to drive from one to other the traffic through DC is soo bad. I've hit locals in both states and they might look close on a map but it is deceptive.
Sucks that you guys don't cover the middle east and other good reigons because we have a lot of good players who got top 15 and top 19 consistently in majors and the gcc smash comaptitve seen is one of the biggest esports in the gcc
Not trying to be dismissive- but wasn't this tournament missing a bunch of the top players? Without them, I don't have a good metric to know how impressive these wins are.
@@atmes7257 Okay cool, not just me. Obviously doesn't mean Tilde's win isn't impressive, still had a lot of top 20 players, maybe just not that many top 5. But hopefully his momentum continues, always down for new players at the top and seeing how the meta changes! :)
I am Dark's manager and I need you to link Dark's Twitch channel or his stream video or else me and my legal hooligans will be corner you at your local.
Was leffen not on both pgrs? My boi beat tweek when tweek was no2, beat mr.r and once that big event in eu. Beat wadi etc. If he wasnt on both then that is criminal, no way hbox would be first
The variety was awesome and fun to watch idk, instead of banning dlc why can’t we just have a base game only majors every now and then? Plus we wouldn’t need to point fingers and there’s no main guilt.
I feel really bad being that guy, but for me it's really hard for me to care about a major win if basically no top 10 talent is in attendance. Not that I want to devalue Tilde or any of the other fantastic competitors and their achievement, but I'm hungry for them to turn up at a major with the likes of Leo, Tweek, acola, Cosmos, Light, Kola, etc, and show us all what they can really do.
Don’t feel bad, they’re allowed to feel happy about a win but unless they prove themselves against not just the top players but the very best of the world people will always wonder how authentic that win is.
@@fupalover no shot. Falco is strong against a lot of the high tiers, especially fast fallers and characters with lacklustre recoveries which is a significant portion of high tier.
That Tilde tweet was not well thought out imo. It screams, I'm close minded and unwilling to examine my beliefs critically. Sometimes you have shit moral standards and you don't even realize it. The quicker you are to opening your mind and accepting that, "hey, my moral standards or in this case my smash morals don't actually work out for me and maybe I have to adapt and change things up" the more you'll grow. Clearly, everyone who beats Tilde by playing slow knows that, maybe it's time for him to learn that too. Yes... play how you want to play the game to the best of your abilities... NEVER change JUST to win. But the moment youre confronted with facts about reality that conflict with your worldview get the fuck over it and change with those facts, and dont get mad at other people who understand that before you do.
hbox getting as far as he did in ultimate while also winning melee was hype i won't lie

I love Ned, and Seph is the only FP2 fighter that's actually cool. Hope he bounces back.
PEABNUT was a monster...did you see this man's combos????

The lack of dlc made it so refreshing.
I ignored Falco for a long time, but Tilde and Larry turned me around real fast.
This was more fun to watch than most majors tbh since there weren't just dlc characters everywhere
Agree. Only a single Steve in top 8. But no Kazuya. No large presence of Pyra/Mythra either.
@doctorkevin94

THATS THE DARK DIFFERENCE BABY LETS GO
It’s been a long while since a Mega Man made top 8 at a big offline event. And I’m really glad Peabnut got top 8 to break that streak. Congrats Peab!
Fr bro. Tbh i always felt that repo is the best mm. But after that tourney set I’m pretty sure peab is now.

You didn’t talk about Hingus Pingus’ run at Paul Blart 5!!! Unfollowed!!!!!!
We'll be sure to cover Hingus when he returns next month at Paul Blart 6
Hingus Pingus needs to stop farming those Mickey Mouse ass regionals and go to a REAL tournament, like Sneed’s Seed and Feed
Great tournament for sure! Couldnt be happier as a falco main. Smash summit will be crazy though w,ith Sparg0 back, MKleo, Acola, Gluto, Light etc. GGs everyone
Tilde has been one of the best players to watch since last year, and Peabnut and Zomba are both absolutely cracked as well 👏
I remember going back to see the vods and seeing tilde and peabnut in grands and I was like what the fuck happened
i like the inspirational message at the end but i went 2-2 and placed 8th for my high school "team" so i don't feel too pog
2-2 isn't so bad, literally average.
The solution is obvious, make your tag Light

What an insanely hyperbolic title lmao
The fact he JV4'd a rob is fucking nutty. You know how hard it would be to dodge all of ROB's bullshit perfectly for an entire game? Crazy...
Dark is making Top 48 at majors and hes only 13 years old its honestly amazing, big Dark fan
I play melee a lot more than ultimate usually, but that jv4 by tilde was soooo fkn hype!
Peabnut is so sick
The Hbox riding in this video is too damn strong
I never realized Leo popped off on Tweek after Riptide 2021

Alternate (better) title:
"A pretty cool tournament happened"
HBox transition was legit
If this new era can include Mega Man, then I’ll be happy. Fun fact: Mega Man turns 35 this year :)
How does character's age count as a "fun" fact? Like, where's the fun in that!?
You can tell the writer is from the west coast, 'cause they call south carolina "the midwest"
Mega man is such a fun character to play and watch. Not fight against tho 😭
I hope this opened peoples eyes to the eyecandy that is top Mega Man gameplay
Summit 5 this weekend...oh boy.
Lookin like Dabuz with longer hair

I always forget sinji still plays the game and they I remember oh yeah this guy was good with smash 4 pac
Wish samsora came so him and tilde could have a rematch 😈
