16:10 "Bananas chillin hes bool, balm, and B O L L E C T I V E out here"

[@lezzei]

SET OF THE TOURNAMENT. Made me a Bananas fan. That Sopo is amazing.

[@fishfillet5555]

This set mango vs leffen and rishi vs zain were amazing

[@Lightningsnowstorm]

Bananas is actually really sick wtf

[@AlphaHatsuseno]

how did no one mention 19:46 lmao HMW killed me with "My man Fiction in the sunken place"

[@josephagnetti8921]

Fiction got outplayed so hard

[@TheLittleGiant007]

HMW with that sick read @20:03

[@Alxinho959]

I thought Bananas was a lame wobbler but wow he’s insane

[@savanchandul7451]

I think Bananas just has the right mental game as well. He does enjoy this game, and he seems to have one expression, meaning that he doesn't weaken from emotions or change his consistency. Especially when his opponents are flustered by being wobbled.

[@jamiecal11]

Most impressed I've ever been with a Sopo stock.

[@andrewfirth9858]

stocks*

[@jamiecal11]

@@andrewfirth9858 ...no. He took the last 2 with 1 stock.

[@andrewfirth9858]

@@jamiecal11 oh i thought we were talking about how many stocks his sopo took with one stock

[@jamiecal11]

@@andrewfirth9858 it's cool

[@andrewfirth9858]

@@jamiecal11 whats really cool was his sopo

[@rakkatytam]

Fly vs Silent Wolf all over again

[@Mandraxon1]

And then Fiction ends up fighting Axe in losers and getting bodied on Fountain of Dreams. He might have literally relived Otto's dark past.

[@Sailor570]

Oh god, those last two stocks were soooo good. Cheers Bananas!

[@hnazgul]

Wow, he really is bool, bomb and bollected

[@patoa3481]

I am not a fan of wobblers BUT if you can take 2 stocks of Fiction with that Sopo you deserve all my respect good shit Bananas

[@cyfer115]

This gave us that great summit skit too where they parodied Whiplash. 😂

[@mutantmario6917]

This is such a great set

[@choknater]

13:41 fiction didn't die because he was mashing, he died because he was trying to SDI a possible down air. it's a fun 50/50 that ic's can do when spacies are at 50% or above, because they die at that low insane setup from side b also LOL

[@gunzolum8045]

Andre Felix That wasn’t a down throw down air DI though, it looked like he DId out and away

[@choknater]

isn't that the correct DI for dthrow dair?

[@snocoldman]

Wow what a legend

[@TMFisms]

SoPo 0 to death 18:39

[@KevinEdward]

would of been a great addition to the socal crew..

[@Ryoke-q3o]

I'm pumped to have a Icey at Summit throwing a wildcard in there haha

[@artyedmond8972]

Can't deny that skill

[@neilmacdonald6637]

Maybe the best played sopo stock ever?

[@papabanks1540]

It's so nice to see these players coming up on characters like ICs and Puff. As much as I'm not a fan of wobbling, or puff play in general, I think having these characters put up good results and be at tournaments consistently is super important to viewership and the continued longevity of melee.

[@scythermantis]

Eh, Melee would survive even if it was just Fox vs. Falco ha ha.

[@papabanks1540]

scythermantis maybe if we’re talking about personal enjoyment. But as an esport, character diversity is important. If the meta just boiled down to fox and falco, you better believe viewership would plummet. Partly because watching the same 3 matchups for 6 hours is bland viewership, but more importantly player personality plays a huge part in both the characters they choose to play, and what makes them enjoyable to watch. Narrow the players down to fox and falco, and you cut out half of the personalities in the scene.

[@fibeo2943]

I didn't know Ricky Berwick's brother was so good at melee.

[@Landmasters]

Thanks, now I can't unsee it lol

[@arbitrary5226]

this set is fuckin hilarious

[@michaelroonie]
