So here’s the thing… as much as I would like to continue shamelessly boasting about this, the reality is that Medz has basically the best base of all time for this process, and an unreal work ethic. I cannot promise that you will get 9th at a super major. Nobody can. (1/4)

So far I don’t think a single player I’ve coached at Genesis has underperformed their seed by any significant amount whatsoever, and many have even (greatly) outperformed it. It’s a great feeling 😁 I’m so proud of all of them ❤️ Unrelated: I will be raising prices on Monday.

In the case of a time out where the stocks & percents are tied, instead of playing out a 1 stock game at 2 mins or whatever, what if we gave both players the game win? It advances the set faster after an 8 min game and clearly defines who needs to act based on game count.

I wish Ness Fair’s weak hits had the “pull” knockback property of his Up-B so they sucked you into the strong hit. And that his dash attack hit only forward on the 2nd hit so you couldn’t ASDI down on it. And if it’s not too big an ask, making u-tilt complete on 25 like Fox.
