What YOU Missed at GENESIS X.

Well, it's that time of year again. One of the most impactful events of every year in GENESIS is here for its 10th iteration and it did not disappoint in any way. Featuring absolute powerhouses of players including but not limited to: MKLeo, Sparg0, Zomba, Tweek, Sonix, Light, SHADIC, Riddles, MuteAce, Dabuz, Glutonny, Kola, and many more. The tournament also featured a lot of players from Japan, including Miya, Tea, Shuton, KEN, Yaura, and even players we haven't seen in NA in a while or at all like Hero, Akakikusu, and even zackray for the first time since Frostbite 2020. This tournament really does earn the moniker of the superbowl of smash.
Be sure to tune in next week for a recap on the upcoming major, King Con in France.

I think we should create the legend of post Japan trip Zomba. After his first Japan trip, Zomba became the highest placing American at Battle of BC5, and won Crown the Third. And now, after this year's Japan trip, he wins Genesis X.

Don't listen to the haters, the gloomers and all the toxic people. We play and watch because we love this game and we love the players.

[@firefatesgaming1855]

I wouldn''t say he is trolling he just makes terrible decisions with who to go in which match up. His rob was playing hot and he didn't even try it vs gackt and he also said he was dropping byleth but went him 2 games vs gackt

[@TonyStorm21]

I love that Zomba's embracing his villain arc, he works really hard and travels a lot to compete despite being a free agent, I don't really like his attitude but you gotta respect the commitment and passion he brings to the table, a well deserved win for someone's who's slowly becoming the biggest Villain in Ultimate's history. There's not enough storylines going on, this one's bound to be exciting because people often forget that when a Villain gets really powerful, the heroes rise up to the challenge.

[@MyHatDefinesMe]

Amazing video! Surreal to see myself in it, even if it's just a sliver of my face. Great work!

[@harryzhu1074]

For those who don’t like Zomba, this is a reminder he’s still a kid. 18 is when you just graduate high school in US. He’s cocky and backs it up with a result. That’s why he’s fun to watch

[@Trendy_Boi]

Yeah but he is carried by Rob imo if you're going to talk smack you need to play a character that takes some more skill. I mean watch the set with spargo the only reason he won that was because of down tilt and gyro. I don't hate the guy but I just find it a little bit annoying to act so cock and play a character like Rob.

[@harryzhu1074]

@@Trendy_Boi yall always got some excuse. If he was so carried, why wasn’t he winning anything prior 2022 offline? He got good with his character that’s pretty good but also combo food.

@@Trendy_Boi How many Robs were in top 8? xD If we talk about tiers he beat Sonic (nº2) and Aegis(at least top 10), maybe Rob doesn't require super skill, but he played his cards well and outsmarted his opponents in game.

[@pcer]

No, being cocky doesn't make you fun to watch, it usually makes you disliked. Also, 18 is not a kid, he's young but not a kid. Finally, him being immature and young doesn't mean we should support or enjoy his antics, he should be pushed to behave like a man of 18 years of age and not a cocky entitled child. But hey, I'm talking to a bunch of immature children who see themselves reflected in his character, hence their support of him.

Man Miya was definitely playing scared in that winners set against Raflow. Raflow should've lost after D-tilting in the wrong direction the first time, but Miya didn't capitalize on it.

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

I think Raflow has more experiance with traveling so he was able to keep his nerves in check better. Imagine being overseas fighting a tournament like this >_

[@ggnicklu]

@@TopOfAllWorlds I don't really think this is it. At least it's not the traveling. Miya has had some stellar overseas results in the past, with winning Rise N' Grind and getting 2nd at Port Priority 8. I definitely believe he was not playing at his best tho. Maybe it's the new year and new ranking season pressure or he was just having a bad day, not feeling the best, who knows.

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

@@ggnicklu I mean I feel like the Traveling is at least part of it. Would exasperate any other issue he may have had at least

[@jonahbishoppollock3229]

Miya had some practice issues back in his country. For some reason a ton of Japanese smashers would block him mid or post set on smashmate (a grinding website that is really good for grinding and has made Miya and Acola to where they are today) because of his character choices. That really demotivated Miya so he took a 2 week break from smash, then when he came back he only practiced with Mii Sword Fighter until a few days before Genesis started.

[@Depths17]

Congrats to zomba, I was definitely not expecting him to be the Genesis champion but he played out of his mind. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses this year

[@ggnicklu]

This tournament was really great. It had lots of upsets and many great sets. But it wasn't flawless. I know it's really hard to organize a tournament especially this grand size, but I'd expect by the 10th Genesis they'd know how to run a stream. Many editing technical mishaps and I'm not sure I agree with having only 2 streams where they constantly running ads at the same time and never stream any losers match where the biggest upsets happen. Kind of disappointed. But the matches sure payed off and I bet it must have been a great event to be at.
