Alright... I just woke up from an unintentional hour and forty minute nap, and I'm choosing violence.
I'll be needing some alcohol for today's apple review, because today...
Today, I'm going to cover the Red Delicious apple.
(1/6)
I DO meet the requirements but campaigning enough to actually get in sounds like a real big hassle that I don’t have time for rn
But I could and it would be really funny to show up and tell 15 world class players the funniest joke in the world

A lot of thoughts right now
This community is the best thing to have ever happened to me
I’m so unbelievably thankful to have been a part of it and met so many amazing people
I love you all and you can bet your ass I’ll be back eventually, funnier than ever
49th/2281… holy cow…
Wins on VaLor (kind of), Creepooba, Miaxi, and Goblin
Lost to Peabnut (thanks WhyDo!) and Wildz
Fantastic experience yet again (outside of some weird scheduling issues with doubles) and can’t wait for next year :)
So, to everyone I told I was moving to DC for work, I lied!
(mah b)
I was moved to a project in Utah so instead I'll be invading the third best state in the country (according to )
Surely they could use another brawler there, right
@Mack__Is__Back
?
The mere mention of my tag spawned a ten minute long conversation on fruit
I hold so much power over you people
Also there were 5 Steves in top 64 and I fought 4 of them alongside Dany and Ling (I got 9th at my first ever coinbox lol)
5/38 at my last Australian tourney!
Entered almost every bracket and went 0-2, 1-2, 3-2 and made it to grand finals. Props to whoever guesses those all right lol.
Loved the Victorian smash scene, it was amazing meeting you all!
I know a lot of people see getting popped off on as insulting, but I think it's one of the most genuine compliments you can get.
They're proud they beat you, they believe it to be a worthy accomplishment deserving of a celebration, and sometimes that's just really nice to see.
My thoughts on Steve are a meter that drains over time and only fills up after some wacky bullshit by a portion.
After yesterday and today, please ban this character dude. I just can’t man.
I do not salt tweet but this is too much :(
Finally got Pharaoh to team with me for doubles and what do you know! We got 9th at a P tier!
Beat Mr. E/Tm7_ZAP, KEN/Sonix, and Snow/Shuton (which is insane)
Made me reminisce about the olden days with
@CLUNE_notabot
(miss you buddy)
3rd at the final Failsafe, which is good but that Jakal loss was devastating.
I really do earnestly believe that turnaround up smash whiff cost me the entire tourney, since it would've given me time to get some stamina back.
That was the one man...
Actually flabbergasted that I made MA PR. Did not expect this in the slightest.
I appreciate everyone in the MA scene and all my homies. Thank you so much for the video, you guys are the best.
Solar Esports proudly welcomes our next signed player….
@AppleReviewer_
!
He’s previously been PR’d inside Massachusetts (
#8
) and Victoria, Australia (
#9
) with notable wins such as LeoN, Antimony, Nuggetz, Unleashed, and BONK!
Let’s see him review Apples and cook at brackets!
Let me tell you about the absolute legend that is
@AppleReviewer_
.
This guy enters doubles and makes it all the way to winners side of grand finals
he walks out and goes on a date mid-tournament
and seconds before being disqualified, he comes back for grand finals and wins.
First bracket in Utah was pretty awesome!
I think I was underseeded which made me play scend earlier than planned and he washed me but I played really well against him in losers finals (I got reverse three stocked twice)
Looking forward to more games and more brackets!
@BeatyBean3965
I know smashers have short attention spans but this website crops up every three months and you guys go crazy over it every time and I have to say that this guy knows what he’s talking about time and time again
Let's get it started!
We're happy to present to you all, the NEW ENGLAND SMASH INVITATIONAL! Created to highlight all the states in our amazing region!
16 PLAYERS:
- 5 Invites
- 6 Qualifiers
- 5 Vote-ins
July 30th, 2023
Streamed on CollisionSeriesTV
Two 13 hour drives and riptide 2024 is over!
Kinda disappointed with my placement (49th is still amazing) since just one small interaction change and I think I could’ve gotten into top 24
And it is a little deflating for my last Jersey tourney to end like that, yknow?
FiMB
2022
- Improved MASSIVELY (I didn’t know how to oos at the start of the year)
- Got a pgr win (Beat Leon)
- Met some awesome people
- Became a genuine bracket threat in NJ in ONE WEEK
- Spread the knowledge of apple far and wide
- Tried 15 new types of apples
Here’s to 2023! 🍎
The 2nd phase of voting has begun! Let's swing through the competition with some crazy incentives as... well, incentives!
Here's hoping to a fruitful campaign!
Guess what... THE SHEET IS BACK!!!
All my up to date apple reviews presented in a slightly messy google sheet. Send me any apple recommendations not already listed please!
First Australian tourney was a monthly, 5/61 with wins on Flow, Corvid, Ezycole, Piccolo Skooks and almost taking down Sriks!
Everyone was super enjoyable to hangout with and its a great scene! Doesn't have Denis tho
Me: “Man I wish more majors were near me”
LMBM 2023: Couldn’t go because flying to Australia
Collision 2023: Couldn’t go because stayed an extra week in Australia
Game Expo 2023: Couldn’t go because I have to fly back to America
BRO WHAT IN THE EVEN IS MY LUCK 😭
Nominate Apple Reviewer for Watch The Throne II if you want to see Juan "HungryBox" Debiedma turn into ash when I win the whole tournament (it will be very comical)
I'm starting to honestly believe that Mii Brawler might be Puff's worst matchup, legitimately feels more impossible than Sonic, Steve, etc.
I hate this character beyond any avail
For all that I know about the Steve matchup (and I know a LOT, its like an encyclopedia in there), I ended up losing because I didn't understand how my hitboxes would interact with TNT pressure plate, whoops!
Also feels like I'm VERY close to figuring out how to beat Jakal...
To anyone outside of New England who's curious about the upcoming Massachusetts Smash Ultimate Invitational, Mass Runs on Smash (MROS), I've decided to make a thread of everything I believe an outsider with little to no knowledge of the New England smash scene needs to know!
Since I’m 21 now and I think it would be funny, here’s a review of Angry Orchard’s Crisp Apple Beer!
Sweet and with a bit of a kick, Angry Orchard is the cider of choice for any self respecting Apple Reviewer!
7/10
Thinking of pulling a nuggetz and DQing anytime I have to play specifically box kazuya
It really needs to be limited/banned but outside of that tristate showdown was p ok
Lots of stuff I think could be ironed out and improved upon
It's a fight for the top! We're back with the second edition of Collegiate Cup!
April 20th, 2024, colleges from all across New England and beyond will battle it out in 3v3 crew battles to determine the best Smash Ultimate Collegiate Club and take home the Collegiate Cup!
1/4
4/128 at the New England Arcadian, wins on hart (Yosi), Captain Q, Don, Craftis, and Heatsurge
Kinda done with Steve but I don’t care enough to advocate for the ban…
Shame I didn’t beat Bruho since that set was hype as all hell
To more
#applesweep
i think this may be interesting. order your region's pr not by skill, but by most to least likely to top 8 a major (your reasoning can be literally anything idc)
Just so everyone knows, my name/tag is for real.
The following link is a spreadsheet of all my apple reviews, I update it whenever I find a new apple.
If you want a numbers only review here it is:
Happy to have a nice sendoff from Jersey retaining my 4th place ranking.
Goated job from Yeast and Fhantum (and Pharaoh but I'm salty he denied my doubles invites for so long BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT THIS WHOLE TIME)
Hoping to rep NJ in Utah and do my best to improve even further!
The Royal Gala is a disappointing offspring of the incredibly popular Gala apple that leaves much to be desired in the crispness, taste, and texture departments.
Sorry Australia, right now your apples are 0/1.
4.25/10
Top 64 seed at a P-tier >:)
Gonna clean house this weekend as my (basically) last tourney while I'm in Jersey
Might also go to center stage tomorrow, we'll see how it plays out
Riptide 2024 preliminary seeding. This Ohio waterpark major has finally hit P-tier, featuring Sonix, Miya, Sparg0, Hurt, and more talent from across North America and Japan. You won't want to miss it!
Seeing how incredible this PR graphic is makes me wish MA had graphics of this quality that didn’t take two and a half months to come out
The player cards are just cherries, syrup, sprinkles, and whatever else on top
Genuinely amazing
The SugarBee apple, while a bit overpriced, excellently delivers a juicy and sweet taste with a great crisp crunch to help sell the impact of this bite sized cultivar!
It also certainly helps that they're so widely available and easy to buy!
6.85/10
Its taste is bland, it has little to no crunch, chewing it feels like chewing on mush, and its size is nothing to be proud of. Its only redeeming quality is being SO available that they're cheap. Which was why it lost popularity to start.
They just never learn.
2/10
(6/6)
Pretty good week for me!
25/208 at CTGamercon with wins on SAUCE and Paulo
1/31 at GU with wins on Jules and Nuggetz x2
2/27 at ASG, gatekept by Antimony with wins on RTS, Nidas, and Clune
Unfortunately couldn't find any SweeTango apples at the pre-bracket shopping trip :(
Ocean State Jab Lock preliminary seeding. A C-tier event in New England, this tournament features talent like Marss, Ling, Leviathan, and Apple Reviewer. Be sure to check it out!
It's so awesome to DQ from coinbox because I spent an hour trying to fix the elgato so I could stream it over discord and THEN spend half an hour figuring out why my switch isn't connecting to LAN AND THEN have a system update brick my switch, again, for no reason.
Glad to be back on the PR but I won’t lie, I definitely feel like I could’ve been higher on this list but I’ll take being 6th
Also nah that’s straight up bullshit please stop putting Exciled on this fucking PR, it’s not funny anymore
Can’t wait for Krungstats!
Absolutely wild that I randomly pull my best week-long performace out of my ass. And I didn't even win a tourney 🥲
17/96 at STACKED fusion, beating Haven
2/28 at PSW, beating Mateo and ConCon
2/24 at Tap
#55
, beating Mateo and Steffen
The CTGamercon Album is now live! Definitely a challenge for sure…but they really represent NE…so glad I was apart of this event and thank you to
@G3rd_NE
for hiring me…
Likes and RT’s always appreciated
MH 8 was a great time, normally I don’t have the most fun/do the best at Boston events so this was nice
That SD against Marss was agonizing bro, but it’s very nice to know that even after some rough tourneys I still have what it takes play the best.
@imESAM
where’s my video lol
1/25 at Wild West Fridays with wins on DD x2, Xav x2, iB, and Hilm!
Fun games to all and special thanks to iB and Xav for helping me dodge
@SebPro101
See you all at pixel >:)
I have four goals for Australia:
1) Do the damn project and do it GOOD
2) Have a grand ‘ol time
3) Make PR in the local Melbourne area because that would be HILARIOUS
4) Try as many of the Aussie apples as I can
Wish me luck fellow apple enthusiasts
Went to the Queen Victoria Market and got three new apples, Mi Apple (left), Gravenstein apple (middle), and the Bravo apple (right)
ya boi is gon be cookin tonight >:)
I'll be frank, my hatred for this apple knows no bounds, and the only reason it isn't a 1/10 is because it is so unbelievably cheap that I can buy them by the bucket for fuel and still have money left over for a quality apple.
The reason its cheap? Well...
(2/6)
A classic for a reason, the Granny Smith apple acheives everything it sets out to. Wonderfully sour and perfectly firm, all its missing is a nice crunch to follow through.
I grew up with it and it will always hold a special place in my apple shaped heart.
Hey, this is gonna be my last ASG (I might go to one over the summer if I'm in the area but prob not)
So I want to see everyone this Wednesday.
And I mean EVERYONE.
Reg for Fight Night 130 is OPEN!!
It's time to say farewell to our resident apple enthusiast
@AppleReviewer_
, but not without one last bracket to remember him by!
Come give him a proper sendoff and get a piece of this $100 POT BONUS!
Sign up!
Motivation after this week is the absolute lowest it’s ever been, gonna take a break (still going to tristate showdown) but idk if I have the will to go to brackets for a while
To celebrate my passing the nomination phase of voting, here's another apple review!
The Empire Apple, locally grown in the New York state, is a fine apple in all but crispness, where the cultivar excels! In all other areas, the Empire is average but still respectable.
6.15/10
I know I could’ve gone further but 7th is WAY more than I had anticipated, so we ball dude, we ball
Also I think this performance is worthy of a few votes, would you not agree?
@SmallAnt
Incredibly disappointed in
@SmallAnt
, he put variations of other fruit yet did not even consider doing the same for apples. Most likely ate red delicious or fuji and wrongfully believed all apples to be the same.
Be better man, be better
@oshwott3
It was mid because
1) it wasn’t even true (snake could’ve just pulled a grenade and I’m amazed he didn’t)
2) in terms of difficulty, that combo is like a 2/10
3) get in the damn lab homie, figure out niche grab plat extensions at 0 that kill, perfect the Evesdropping tech, do it
So with Steve hate being thrown around again, I just wanted to say a couple things as the most experienced in the Steve MU for New England.
Steve is utterly broken, but is far from bannable.
As small as his weaknesses are, they can be exploited and he can be beaten.
I’m a bit frustrated I couldn’t break into the top 5 again, but looking at the absolute beasts above me, I think I can be more than happy with 6th 😅
Happy reviewing to another banger season!
Here is the Massachusetts Power Rankings for Summer 2023!
It was a very competitive season, so congratulations to all of those who made it!
🎨:
@Retr0Artist
Loved the service, got free tickets to a movie, and the drinks went hard :)
Unfortunately I felt less than nothing for the food (mozzarella sticks were decent tho)
So unfortunately I have to give the overall Applebees experience a 5/10
MASSACHUSETTS
@satoruneru
, the dark horse of the entire Nomination Phase, finds himself with a spot in the Voting Phase! However, to our surprise, satoru did not finish first. With a strong campaign throughout the week,
@AppleReviewer_
ended up passing satoru by 4 votes!
