Dang Bloom, I didn’t expect this but next time, I’m sure he will get em! Just gotta learn the mu cause I’m sure it’s odd, as A Bayonetta main myself, that mu is weird and you don't find Alph often at all but not too hard to get once you understand what Alph tends to do. Plus he short, so it’s a bit harder but I’m sure he can adapt and learn, he's really good👍🏾😁 Edit: EU has 0 Olimar's so I understand why things went the way it did😃

[@peytonbond4886]

Gotta say, Dabuz got a huge advantage in his second game when he got to start off with white purple and red pikmin instead of the normal blue yellow red. Obviously I still think he would’ve won, but it allowed him to get a lot of momentum.

[@hibikikazama1099]

I love this format!!

[@eriknelson3238]

Dabuz is the gatekeeper to being a top player in NA. If you can’t beat Buzby then you haven’t reached that next level yet. Really fitting that he’d come out and gatekeep freEU

Venia is a top player then, just needs to go to tournaments

I mean, not to john or anything but, if we had gluto, sisqui, leon, mr r, quick and andresfn, things might have take a different way. Of course USA plus riddles didn't have light and tweek, but I still think the crewbattle could have been way closer if we had more of our top players.

I love to watch crew battles but the worst part by far is the lag between games. I hope future big major crews minimize that. 1-2 min between games max

[@mrjollyguy25]

Don't think that's possible. Teams have to decide who to send in next and strategize, then they need to pick stage and music (potentially their controls too, though this could be done earlier).

It's a crew battle based on total stocks. So if for example in the first match player one wins with one stock left, the next game he will start with only that one stock. At the top of the screen you see the amount of stocks left per team. I hope this helped 🙌🏼

@@Kishotto out of all the crew battles between the US and other countries I can probably count on one hand where the US lost. Mexico is for sure a stronger region then Japan. Yeah they have the top 2 players in the world but most of the top 20 players are American. In fact out of the top 20, 16 are American players. It’s not that they’re worse players overall, it’s that we have higher population which in turn means that many more players to play against. It’s why the Midwest states don’t have as many good players as states like California or Florida. This is coming from a mid westerner. Most of the US doesn’t even know who my states top player is. I don’t even know the answer to that anymore lol.
