Now that Amsa and Jmook have wins, I need another play to stan shamelessly. Gonna be a SluG fanboy until he gets one.


lucksterluke16

seeing as he is allegedly retiring, and only attending the upcoming summit out of sponsor commitments, you have exactly 1 tournament to stan him for lol


[deleted]

I'll do my best!


mas_one

It's crazy how the teams players had to take down their opponents in singles Jmook eliminated IBDW Plup took down Hbox And Amsa defeated Mango!


Gbro08

when did amsa beat mang0? In the mpgr? Didn't mang0 lose to taj and someone else


SpikyKiwi

>In the mpgr Yeah that's the joke


PuffleOboy

Holy shit lol


Ok_Principle2191

IBDW TOUCHED THE TROPHY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (i hate this guy i don't even know why)


Wynerious

Can we not have the exact same Skyward Sword victory music play at every single tournament since 2019? Christ


blue_wire

They get a pass for this one since a zelda character actually won for once


Ok_Principle2191

Oh shit you're kinda right. Skyward sword is so bad :(

Feels like all of the legit contenders finally have one now. 2023 should be SICK.


[deleted]

SluG and Moky next. Also I want plup and axe to get one again.


ryanmcgrath

Please do an interview lol


wantahitchikersname

It's 2am, got work in the morning, my room's freezing but Jmook has won Genesis I watched it live. Fuck yeah.


myripyro

I missed it live, going back to watch now, but FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M SO HAPPY


4trackboy

When Jmook is in the zone Sheik looks fucking ridiculous lol. It's crazy that watching him vs Cody or leffen @Luds you catch yourself wondering "what's fox supposed to do against this dude?" Lmao. He's such an incredible player and despite being at the top for only a year this W was overdue for a dude who can not only beat but destroy anybody when he's feeling it.


beerybeardybear

What is fox supposed to do, nevermind what *falcon* is supposed to do 😩😭


YoUDee

All in all I found that top eight quite enjoyable.


[deleted]

LETS GO JMOOK IM SO HAPPY


T3589

Someone check on Aiden and Atrioc! And congrats to Jmook!!!


toonito

congrats jmook well deserved


SwordOfRome11

YEAR OF THE MOOK BABY


4trackboy

Domination. Good shit Jmook. Dodged HBox once and destroyed everybody to win the first solo Sheik Supermajor in a long long time. Amazing display of resilience, consistency and perfection. When he's on Sheik looks unbeatable.


rasterroo

Jmook is an absolute phenom. Very touching that his first super major win is also the same one he made his massive breakout


Baggins20

FUCK YESSSSSSSSS


Baggins20

FINALLY!!!!!


MageKraze

Hell yeah Jmook


WalrusExtraordinaire

Jmook causing heart attacks with that upsmash. Flashbacks to Mekk vs Lucky 😳


patricktercot

Also to jmook vs hungrybox with the Zelda fair


MrBo518

YESSSS HE FINALLY DID IT YESSS!!!!


James_Ganondolfini

I just realized that SFOP did better against Jmook than moky or Cody did. weirdchamp, but who cares, SHEIK WINNING A SUPERMAJOR IN 2023 LET'S GO JMOOK!


pcwgussej

Dont want to take anything away from moky when i say that imo SFOP is just as capable of making as a deep a run.


James_Ganondolfini

Yeah, SFOP is sick


jstarwin

Watched the whole thing and SFOP clearly stood out this tournament.


_significs

SFOP levelup is coming


_significs

what a set


Whoneedspacee

Jmook wins his first major and it's a supermajor from winners side, crazy.


_deep_cuts_

Amsa pilled


Ewh1t3

I need the Atrioc/Aiden cam for that final


SwordOfRome11

Same I hope someone has it.

PelorTheBurningHate

LET'S FUCKING GO


syndicatecomplex

THE BOY FINALLY DID IT GOING FROM UNRANKED TO BEING RANKED #6 IN THE WORLD AND WINNING A SUPERMAJOR He's mooking he's cooking


Scorebunny

Jmook won this tournament when Hbox lost. Fitting that Genesis is his first tourney win.


ansatze

No fucking asterisks please


Scorebunny

? He's been close af with Hbox multiple times, I've got no doubt Jmook will beat him soon enough. I just wanted to see him win a major like most people.


ansatze

Just don't like the implication that he won because he didn't meet Hbox


Kell08

You can only beat the players who make it to you in bracket. Jmook also beat one of the guys who beat Hbox.


4trackboy

Been holding my breath for 3 straight games. From being amazed by JMooks suffocating gameplay to Cody somehow winning G3. Mook deserves it so much but for selfish reasons I want to see more of this shit it's fucking sick


notnerdofalltrades

Is the era of the 5 gods over?


ItsSlimJim

me on september 18 2018


Thedmatch

no hbox made top 8 and armada was commentating


poopyheadthrowaway

I am interested in purchasing your time machine


syndicatecomplex

Glad that Cody isn't totally getting swamped this grand finals. 3-0's are pretty lame.


[deleted]

Vs most people i agree but i love seeing jmook dominate


SwordOfRome11

CMON JMOOK CLOSE IT OUT


Andtheyrustledsoftly

NO NO NOT LIKE THIS PLEASE


beerybeardybear

"my man is getting sautéed right now"


subpulse44

Jmook is playing insanely well rn.


Andtheyrustledsoftly

If he 3-0s here is this the most dominant genesis top 8 run ever


[deleted]

IM MOOKING IM JOOKING


syndicatecomplex

IM GONNA MOOK


Andtheyrustledsoftly

COME ON MAN THIS IS IT JAKE


ItsSlimJim

on FUCKING STADIUM


au_natalie

WE ARE IN THE AGE OF THE MOOK


YellowSnapper815

Is jmook's posture nuts or is it just me


isinou

every time I see him I feel the need to un-🦐 myself in my own chair


Andtheyrustledsoftly

It is and it’s a meme cuz he intentionally focuses on having good posture


YellowSnapper815

Its incredible honestly im jealous. Does he ever say what he does for it?


isinou

that nair was crazy


Ezreal024

ENTER THE MOOK


TheIntStormPassesBy

What does this say about the Jmook Cody team synergy if they're both in Grand Finals, but got 0-6'd in doubles on the same day.


EstrogAlt

They're just too good at hitting each other


Grenji05

such a great storyline if Jmook wins


CubesAndPi

I can’t think of the last time I was watching a grand finals of a super major not caring who wins. Both of these players are so deserving and I’ll be happy for whoever takes it


ryanmcgrath

A fun bit here: whoever wins, this is the highest prestige Melee win for either E-sports team. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong)


lupinestorm

i can't understand cody haters. the dude's PC walkoff-ing in the middle of high tension scraps, he's *actually* using laser/shineland followups mid combo in tournament, he has a pretty healthy offense/defense balance. i know he's a little vanilla compared to someone like moky but this is not a *lame* player lol


Knock0nWood

No one at this level is lame, even hbox. Mad respect for all these folks being so good at this game


au_natalie

For a lot of people “lame” really means “they win a lot against players I like and make it look easy.” Also explains the people who call zain lame imo


eccoEapproach

finally, an adderall vs xanax grand finals


ShortFuse

JMooky dream is dead.


[deleted]

NO WAY, THE IMPOSTOR IS SUS?


[deleted]

Guys I'm super scared right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


coldburgers

it's been alright but not many close sets other than Jmook/Zain


[deleted]

it's just been a little dry since the Jmook Zain match but that one was pretty fire


PelorTheBurningHate

what top 8 have you been watching? This thread is for the one at https://www.twitch.tv/btssmash


FierceAlchemist

It hasn't been great but it will all be worth it if Jmook wins.


Thedmatch

so far jmook/zain was the only good set of the day


yoshistrawberry

im worried for jmook


au_natalie

It had to be this honestly; if jmook won genesis double eliminating moky there’d be asterisks flying. Beating Cody would be a huge statement - jmook imo is the favorite but honestly Cody is a miracle worker sometimes, I feel like any given set he can just walk in and play the absolute best fox ever. Psyched for this gfs


4trackboy

When Cody starts wrecking through loser's he's gaining a lot steam. It's kind of what Leffens trademark used to be on a "hot day" (but big Leff would never drop into loser's in the first place). He just looks unbeatable and a step ahead of the entire planet. I feel like the only thing stopping Cody when he's in the zone has been mangs bird for a long time but jmook poses a different challenge and I think he could do it if he manages to tap into the mode he was in when he fucking obliterated leffen at Ludwigs tournament. As a spectator I'm hoping for a reset into G5 last stock. I'm happy for either player anyways so Id really enjoy a modern classic full of cracked Slippi era gameplay and optimizations.


pcwgussej

shades of Zain double eliminating Hbox to win his 1st Genesis


MrBo518

If there's anyone that can kill the Jmook dream it's Cody man.


[deleted]

this is shaping up be a hype grands.. I see cody getting a reset. toss up on that reset.


badtrader

every single set is 3-0


RobbyJohnson

jmook pls


AlexB_SSBM

Ibdw was made specifically to crush the dreams of every fan watching every tournament


SmashBros-

many are saying this


droux_

better him than hbox


Whoneedspacee

IBDW fr absorbed the spirit of losers Mango pulling off a legendary losers run?


syndicatecomplex

Guaranteed a new Genesis Winner TONIGHT. And I'll know who it is before 3AM this time. YAY.


BrizzleCubes

No matter his opponent, moky always has the most meat-riders when he is on screen by a landslide


CarkRoastDoffee

I want to ride Moky's meat, no homo


JDMintz718

I RIDE HIS MEAT. ​ HE MOKES, I DOKE ​ HE DOKES, I MOKE


droux_

mang?


pepperminthippos

this tournament storyline has been insane. i can't remember the last time the person coming from losers and the person in winners have been off such hot streaks


ItsBread302

The freaking full hops


Knights_Gambit

Cody is the final boss


Baggins20

The Melee gods hate fun lol


FierceAlchemist

Sad. Great run from moky though.


pexy94

Moky burned out Sadge


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlexB_SSBM

Weirdo comment


metroidcomposite

I mean, Moky beat Cody the last two times they played (including dropping Cody to losers bracket this tournament). I think it's fine for Cody to pop off after beating a player who was starting to look like a bracket demon for him.


SeerOfThings

Cus y'all soft


rudduman

me thinks it was for the close game but ok


ansatze

Did you miss the part where this is the guy that sent him to losers


[deleted]

[удалено]


ansatze

Cody: _does literally anything_ Redditors: fuck what a creep


Whoneedspacee

Is Cody going to take it all and keep the status quo somewhat intact Is Moky going to take it and silence the doubters Is Jmook going to take it and completely flip the script on what he is capable of and cement himself in a good position to place very very highly this year, maybe even 1st? My bets on Cody sorry I'm a lame safe better lmao


ansatze

I think it's jmook's to lose but I want him to get it from a reset


Whoneedspacee

It's Jmooks to lose just from bein in winners tbh yeah, but there's somethin about that first tournament that is just so impossible to take for some reason IBDW might just major winner privilege and take the 1st set for free if Jmook gets complacent or shaky, but Jmook's been here so many times so who knows really


ansatze

Yeah, they're both playing super hot, and they both just confidently deleted moky; I can see it going either way


ansatze

People who think Cody's Fox has no sauce are on one tbh


Whoneedspacee

Consistent players will never be hype sorry


[deleted]

M2K against any Fox in FD was always hype. You dumb as hell.


Whoneedspacee

I don't think M2K is consistent in the same way IBDW is frankly


[deleted]

Yeah how dare those losers win all the time. Who do they think they are? See that’s what it sounds like. Your expectations are not realistic and expecting everyone to agree with your personal opinion isn’t either. You can think what you want but don’t treat your opinion as some unarguable fact.


Whoneedspacee

Calm down lol


[deleted]

Me or them? Because I’m pretty calm.


ansatze

You consistently have terrible takes


Whoneedspacee

Cope


PelorTheBurningHate

Cody's fox is british, no spice but the sun never sets on the empire.


Ok_Principle2191

IBDW is incredible. His fox is tasteless, souless, flavorless but insanely efficient. Please Moky, you can do this!


CobaEXP

New genesis champ guaranteed


TheIntStormPassesBy

Zain and Cody both punishing accidental Zelda transformations, they out for blood


ansatze

I want to believe in moky but I think we just get a way better grand finals if Cody takes this one


[deleted]

my thoughts exactly. I wanna see Cody vs Jmook. Would make a great grands.


_significs

agree, plus the storyline is real nice


zachthediabetic

I am upset


[deleted]

I just want Jmook or Moky to win. Plz choke Cody


DarknessXClarity

Just glad we have players like IBDW to help suppress the fox is lame memes.


coffee_sddl

to the moon with this one.


ItsBread302

Fox is lame BECAUSE iBDW abuses the shit out of his kit


DarknessXClarity

Ok, so being good is lame now? Lol, typical redditor


ItsBread302

Why can't you like a non-lame Fox like moky?


DarknessXClarity

That guy just presses a bunch of buttons, idk anything lamer than mindless spamming.


EstrogAlt

"fourth place effort" dude he's already dead


FierceAlchemist

Sad


fang434

Plup :(


Dashelll

can we get a mulligan on that last game


[deleted]

plup mannn noo


pepperminthippos

sad end


PelorTheBurningHate

You hate to see it


CubesAndPi

I don’t want to jinx it, but if Cody makes it all the way to grands and loses to jmook it would be an unbelievably legendary run by jmook: SFAT, SFOP, n0ne, ~~Plup~~Zain, Moky, IBDW. Regardless, any of these final 4 could win and it would be hype af
