for him, there isn't a reason to pick a low tier just because they might have hidden potential. why bother risking something dumb like that when you can pick someone safer like Sheik or Diddy and win money?

This is inherently my issue with how high reward smash bros tournaments are nowadays. There's no real reason for anyone to explore the meta of anybody below the top 3 at any given time, so it breeds top players like ZeRo who don't actually care much for the game itself at its core, or the community (especially given the cancerous nature of the things he's said like the bayonetta quip) in favor of lining his pockets. I think it's isn't very genuine when you have someone like him who is literally switching his main after every single major patch. And I think that comes across to fans of the game in a very bad way.

Thanks for this Geno.

@Kuro
Its fine if he wants to win, its fine he wants to go for the best character ALL THE TIME, in different smash games or in PM. However, its one thing to be one and then bash other players who use Bayo. Sheik takes more skill now then ever at this point, but its one thing for him to bash someone else for using someone else who might be the best now.

Also I am not even saying, use a low tier, it could be a mid tier or high tier character. Hell another top tier, as far as I seen, he hasn't touched ZSS once since the invitational almost two years ago. He played Fox during the 3DS days, but when Wii U came out, he hardly touched him and same thing with Falcon.

Nairo, I put him in the same boat because from what I saw on one video, he wanted to use all top tiers in all games. However, he instead picked up ZSS, which before the tier list, from what I gathered, wasn't even considered top 5 or top 10. He made her a top 3 character because he advanced her meta game. Same thing with Esam, he has been using Pika since the start and also with Samus, using two characters we hardly see and making them look good.

About the ZeRo video, my friends laugh at that video and make fun of it.

I do agree Abandango was doing some great stuff during the tournament, but some of the good players weren't at their best.

ZeRo proved he didn't really give a s*** about making himself or the community look good when he won that E3 invitational tournament (which was for no money at all) by camping when he realised he probably wasn't going to win normally and then "winning" via sudden death

The money doesn't make him an asshat, he's like that even in a fun tournament meant to show casual viewers what the new Smash game was like.

I don't have an issue with people taking games overly seriously when big money is involved, but when you're like that even for fun then you deserve the hate

the reason why he said that bayo carries players is because people are now placing higher than they have ever been in tournaments and they haven't even been top players that understand the meta. This I can kinda agree with. ZeRo is not a tier whore in my opinion. Tier whore is someone who picks up a top tier character and expects to win with character who isn't that great of a player. Picking a top tier or a character that has really good Mu spreads and can fight anyone in the game at a comfortable level isn't truly a bad thing. I am not bashing on any top level players that use bayonetta either I know Acestarthe3rd uses her I know Pink Fresh uses her and they have been doing well before bayo came out. Its just other players who aren't know that well have been using her and have been placing higher than they should.

Kumite, a venue in Tampa, has banned Bayonetta.


This is like an hour away from me so I'm worried she'll be banned here too
