He made a huge mistake. | The Yard

[@JanetRobinson-xe1tg]

Thank you for the shout out! I was really surprised to see my comment up there for all the world to see. For the record, I used my emojis properly I WAS winking at you Slime. Tony was a good looking guy with his well quaffed hair and Slime has a great head to be bald. Each man hot in his own way. Not all men can pull off the bald look because they have weirdly shaped or bumpy heads. I can totally understand not wanting to have the hair making you hot and sweaty and the thought of being smelly is horrible. You guys are funny, I loved this episode. Keep up the good work! PS- Lud, I did give you a Happy Birthday shout out as a payback for the one you sent to me. The night this fun all started. ❤Janet

As someone who Ludwig described as a passing Melee enjoyer I loved the swiss format. The amount of games was just the right number and it allowed me to find a player to root for than a quick best of 16 where I don't get the time to find out who the players are

[@toriknapp5561]

yes 100%!!! i never watch melee outside of lud's streams but i loved watching the swiss format

[@Josiahhhhhhh]

Yeah, I’m really not a big melee watched but in part the format got me to watch this tournament a lot more. I think you get more interesting matchups in the groups.

[@VizUhn]

Very disappointed we never got a full episode with slime in hair or tony starr on the yard ect. Not even a week smh

[@TheDarkKnight1212]

That is the one sad part, is that we only got it for a little bit of the last episode

[@mr.blackhand3194]

honestly never cared about SSBM, but the LACS 5 was really entertaining. Also swiss bracket is alot more fun than a simple double elim.

[@carsoncrist5298]

I have never really watched much melee before this, but I have loosely followed it, I really enjoyed the swiss bracket, it was fun to watch and the visual that was showed made it really easy to understand.

[@Hipta640]

Swiss is also really nice because it’s easy to walk away from and still feel involved and entertained while catching up when you get back

[@mediumchicago_pizza]

commentary team was also out their minds that shit was also just entertaining to listen to

[@lucarioshows]

Swiss is the best format. It's used by like every other esport because it strikes a balance of having a variety of games while having every game mean something

[@TheDarkKnight1212]

Swiss style tournaments are what making them worth watching for me. It really creates more excitement about each game imo

[@noahjohnson831]

I watched and was hooked specifically because it was Swiss, it was way more exciting to watch the double elim bracket everyone has seen

[@PuzzleBox83]

I could be wrong, but I think Ludwig let's one specific or a couple of top Melee players make up his opinion on Swiss. If they don't like it, then he is against it. I think the audience liked it more. I enjoyed getting to learn about players I never knew of and them having a chance in winning.

[@RiotAugust]

man cant keep a wig on but expects to believe he could live in a closet smh

[@Chipori]

I liked Swiss format. I never watch the early games with the non-top players, but this time I watched almost every game and had a great time. I learned a lot about so many players that I never heard of. The swiss bracket graphic that was put on the stream made it very easy to understand. Not sure if secondary/quad stream is something that could be implemented that would add more time for content..

[@1888.]

Glad to see any bets on The Yard don't matter anymore. Next time Slime wins a bet, hope the boys remember this moment and don't give in. Or if he venmos them all back $75

[@shinydragon69]

Swiss is just too goated man. I hope Aiden keeps it for future tournaments. I’m not an avid smash watcher, but it’s just always nicer to have a more ‘accurate’ competitive format no matter how much/little you follow an esport.

[@PuzzleBox83]

I preferred the Swiss bracket. As someone who hasn't watched much Melee I felt like I got to learn a lot more about many different players I haven't heard of before and started rooting for them. Ludwig needs to give his audience more credit. Seeing the same top 16 players at every tournament isn''t as entertaining.

[@salami_tommi]

It's like I can still hear his voice. Fly high Tony Star, yesterday will remember the times we shared. RIP 🕊💔

[@Third_]

As a simpleton who only watched the melee tournament because I like the yarnd and have a vague interest in melee, the Swiss bracket was fantastic. Should keep the format or something similar for sure it was hella interesting to follow because of how simple the the format is to understand.

[@PuzzleBox83]

I'm hoping Aiden reads these comments and mentions them on the next pod, because they are overwhelmingly pro Swiss Bracket.

[@sorchara9119]

I'm a very casual melee fan, I dont play and I miss most tournaments, I'm at a level where if I get the chance I'll watch a stream with a few cans and have a nice evening to myself. Genuinely thought the Swiss Format was a phenomenal addition. Made for such a refreshing watch. I feel like it could have been an extremely confusing watch if not for the production's extremely informative graphics.

[@SpoonGod]

FUN YARD STAT: this marks Slime's 100th Final Fantasy 7 reference in an episode of the podcast

[@Austin-fh2ui]

I do think slime has to hold this L for a while. He would clown on anyone else for how early he took it off. That being said, I do think it’s a different kind of prank that is so inexorably connected to his own image that I don’t think anyone can blame him too much

[@slimewire]

no i wouldn’t

[@micoolnamasi]

I am new to watching Smash tournaments because of Lud and the Boys and I’m with Aiden. I really enjoyed the Swiss format. I didn’t understand it but I liked seeing people that are good face other people which they would have missed out on if they got booted out immediately.

[@ChilledGreese]

I love that we, just like with Breslyn, are definitely gonna get Tony Star lore videos

[@Joey-nt4xr]

I truly thought slime was mother... I thought wrong 😔

[@AdThe1st]

I loved Swiss because it let Mang0 lose and still get to top 8, we need another Mogul Employee tournament though

[@ghostkill221]

Yeah. I think this is the key. Like if you have 32 players or something. And run Double Elim, if Mango, and Leffen both get knocked out day 2? The last day is like... UNWATCHED. Also it's much less stressful and much better gameplay to see MORE people face MORE people. But not as boring as Round Robin,.

[@kellen987]

I like swiss for a small invitational type event. You get more great games and a more relaxed vibe during pools. I have been a melee fan for a decade though

[@kellen987]

I also liked Summit side events. Less so content, but I absolutely love crews. A longer tournament would allow for that. I just want crews back

[@99Cloverfield]

I sincerely love the melee centered eps, Joshman an all time guest

[@Ayden24B]

As someone who started watching Melee from this pod I do like the swiss format. I think commentators did a really good job explaining people and holding storylines between games. I wouldn't have cared about Salt's games without commentary. I wouldn't have cared about Swift and his Obelisk. The graphic explaining swiss was also really well done IMO. I have faith in whatever you guys do running a tournament in the future though

[@ricochico1144]

The Obelisk™ was definitely the best part of the stream as a whole

[@PuzzleBox83]

This is the first time I heard of Salt and I doubt she would have been invited to a 16 person bracket (I could be wrong), so I agree. I also learned about many other players. Seeing and hearing about the same 16 Melee players since Ludwig started streaming is less interesting to me anymore.

[@carsoncrist5298]

[@bakedzd4933]

Weed about it was insane. QT could make anybody’s podcast work

[@vollieton620]

as someone who watches a lot of vct double elim bracket is pretty good but to be fair i understood swiss well enough from just taking a look at the bracket during a brb screen. it was a really cool event

[@thisisanunforgattablename]

As someone who wears a hair piece almost 24/7 and doesn't shampoo it, I am now paranoid about the smell. The only time I've noticed the smell was when I get monthly maintenance on it and when they pull it off a massive stench gets released. But theres nothing you can do about that because its all trapped underneath the base so shampooing won't help the soap doesn't get to it. Probably helps that I don't live in a country that is extremely hot and very sedentary so the sweat isn't that bad an issue. Yall probably should have got a mesh base so that the scalp can breathe. Its what I have no and haven't noticed a smell like my old base.

[@slimewire]

yeah i opted for the non mesh base but i’m sure you are fine because you aren’t a waste man

[@Ziggycreeper]

I loved the swiss bracket, I thought it was fun to watch and I liked seeing players that might not have played as much in a double elim bracket get to play more games and it makes it less likely for people to be randomly upset

[@connerkaliel9849]

[@SimplyChloe_]

"loser eats a candle" I love the mental image of Slime chompin on a candle like Bug Bunny with a carrot

[@Chl0ris]

I think Swiss is more hype if you’ve watched any esports in general. Knowing the top players is fun and their matches are almost always hype, but getting the chance to see a player you might not have and see them across multiple matches was a ton of fun and you are able to find non top players who get you excited about the game and the way they play. At least from a content perspective that’s where I land.

[@jakestalvey]

I think it’s lame that the bet wasn’t followed through on but I think Slime’s rationale and reasoning the whole time was fair, reasonable, and not in-bad-faith. So don’t think it’s necessarily something for him to feel bad about, as sure he was dumb as he acknowledges, but not intentionally dumb or malicious in his not washing nor any kind of sabotage.

[@GigiRuffa]

Reasonable because neglect of maintenance?

[@TheBearOfSpades]

I agree, but he's logic on being reliable on a bet/not paying back some of the other bet is a little off. If their chill with it though, it don't matter.

[@kronik658]

He refused to wash it for a week and then cut it off because it smelled bad. If he followed the instructions from the beginning it never would have smelled bad in the first place.

[@NemSumeragi]

Might be interesting to look into having a side-stream for when fun events come up so there can be content for both the super gamers and casual for fun viewers. You could either put the events on main stream and extra matches on the side stream, or vice versa. And then when the events are over, the matches come back and everything proceeds as normal.
