@knarf7744 ngl smash wasnt my game, our friend group usually stomped me at that. I wasn't part of the smash community in any real way. Instead I got rather good at mariokart and we'd play that a lot. The main reason I know smash beyond N64 playing pikachu is dawson being amazing at it and pubstomping the rest of our friendgroup.

@KyleTremblayTitularKtrey 3 ай бұрын

Also bro he barely had to jump to dunk it was a funny little hop. I used to be so damn proud I could dunk a basketball and I was training parkour and jumping and then this giant that was my friend barely had to put his arms over his head lol

seeing him play Eric in project M with Jake TO'ing at my first smash touranment in the P4K era was the best introduction to the community. Was so warm right off the hop to an old man interested in super smash bros.

When I met dawson at my very first smash 4 tournament as annoying high schooler, he was the friendliest guy possible. He played a few friendlies when I asked and demolished me and we got to sit on the commentators couch and took a picture. It's little moments like that that made me so happy to go to tournaments and root for him.

I got to hang out with Dawson for a bit at Genesis 4 and he is just the nicest guy ever. Always cheered for him after that (and before, being a fellow Canadian) and to see him get to this level is so cool. It honestly couldn't happen to a better person. Also, masterclass video. I love that it was so personal, being entirely his words and the words of the BC scene. It might not get a ton of views, but you guys did great work here.

The thing is about ice climbers is the character takes so much skill to learn that when you lose to them you just have to respect the player for putting in the time and effort to do those desync combos

i am from BC and big D was always known as a hidden undiscovered boss. near the end of smash 4 capptain L was rated 24th on the pgr. Captain L is one of the most fast paced pikachu players ever, i would say he is even faster paced than players like void. because of this, he was one of the only top players that knew how to sdi out of bayo combos consistantly. But we all knew that BC had an even better player and he played fukkin D3. fukin D3. big D never traveled, so when we saw him go to goml i remember watching on the moist stream and moist had no idea who big D was and i told him that he was in for a fukkin treat. the rest i guess is history, i am so hapy to see a team like luminosity pick him up! the ghuy is a smash legend. nobody does what he does. and captain L needs to pick up pika again

32:08 I feel like I'm missing context here... Why was he able to switch out Ken? Is there some rule that I'm not aware of? I don't understand why playing Ken at a previous tourney, constitutes a switch.

@ggnicklu 10 ай бұрын

Not at all an expert on this but I think this is the TOs perspective: you want people to go to your tourney. How do you do that? By getting good players that more people want to see, so you make it that more top players get easier positions, that's the basis of seeding. Now, spectators, come to a tournament to see a good show and so if the only matches you get to see are sets that already happened a week ago, you don't really want to see that again. So the TOs try to get new sets and new matchups or maybe some players that haven't fought for a while against each other. That's probably what was going on
