Exactly. This was a tournament, not a show match. The players should have gone in with the mindset to play to win, via whatever means necessary.

If the game allows such unfun gameplay, it should be adjusted so that unfavourable gameplay is unfavourable for winning.

Yeah I was expecting these guys to go outside of their comfort zone and just have fun. That's why I was hoping Rapture's Little Mac would get far during the tourney. He isn't a big name and was having a blast beating people up.

Serious question: How would Hungrybox have been able to handle the situation differently in Melee or Project M?

[u/JJFMJR → u/[deleted]]

Game 4 @ 12:00 looked pretty similar to the SSB4 finals imo. Lots of spacing without any solid approach options. In this match, its referred to as a chess game of course ;). I think Battlefield was what won it for Zero. HBox had no options because Zero positioned so well under the platforms. No aerial approach (like here vs ivy) and certainly no horizontal approach bc whip.

Yeah, let's make them trip
