Riddler Posted October 1, 2015 Wow, Leffen denied entry to the States so he's not attenting TBH5. That really sucks both for him and for the event. wtf happened Quote Share this post Link to post
2pro4show Posted October 1, 2015 https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/649382419167072256 He needs a work visa probably. It's likely some issue where the government saw a pattern of him earning money in the States but not paying enough tax for whatever reason (I don't know if TSM is involved with handling his prize money or not) or the fact that he's consistently earning as much as he does means the certification he has now isn't enough.

Destroyaaa Posted October 1, 2015 Man that's insane I assume that hes not going to be allowed back for a loooong time unless someone can get this sorted out. So PP isn't entering Leffen isn't attending. Biggest tournament ever is losing some steam i feel Quote Share this post Link to post
Avenger Posted October 1, 2015 Poor Leffen Pretty dumb how he was denied access tbh. I'd be pissed. Quote Share this post Link to post
Mayday Posted October 1, 2015 Been a good day for Smash unless you are Leffen. First, Smash 4 shield stun was dramatically increased making it higher than Melee and roll + air dodge invulnerability frames were reduced by 1. Shield pressure is now more viable and shield break setups are possible. Next, new tech V-Canceling was discovered in Melee. By pressing L/R within 3 frames of being hit, you can reduce your knockback velocity V-canceling: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/3n1kgf/new_global_technique_discovery_vcanceling_reduce/ Leffen also will be able to apply for an International Athlete visa now that eSports falls under that category. Won't be able to get it for Big House, but will be able to get it in a few weeks and drastically lower cost Quote Share this post Link to post

Reason why I never say I am earning any money when I go to States. Always say I am volunteering or spectating. They are always annoying me like crazy about this at the border when I go for events. Such a shame for him. Quote Share this post Link to post
zZunair Posted October 1, 2015 Not really related to Smash but Scar is in the next episode for Excellent Adventures It's like Scar is more Mike Ross than Mike Ross lmao Quote Share this post Link to post
Avenger Posted October 1, 2015 Diddy Kong's revenge for being nerfed too much. He is now once again probably the best character in the game. Tournaments are banning him too. Quote Share this post Link to post
beamimpact Posted October 1, 2015 sucks that leffen isnt in and especially leffen+ice in doubles looking forward to the singles now, and maybe armada+android for the doubles Quote Share this post Link to post
iRGush Posted October 2, 2015 Big house was reseeded so now assuming there is no upsets, going to be Armada vs M2K, Mango vs Hbox. Will be the first set M2k and Armada play this year iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post

beamimpact Posted October 4, 2015 really enjoying the tournament so far but man the commentary is as bad as it can get right now, no clue how homemadewaffles gets on the commentary so often, my ears are bleeding from his bs talk that 95% doesnt cover the game on stage at all lol same for most other popular commentators such as scar that lately seems to overly full of himself with a big urge to express that in the commentary luckily there still are enough commentators with decent skills, but the tourney organisation and smash community in general should at least questionise some of the established commenators, they shouldnt get away with weak performances like that Quote Share this post Link to post

But judging from the time of this post you were watching him and Phil during the "non-esports" commentary block, which was added to the tournament after a crowdfunding goal was met and the whole point was for HMW & Phil to commentate like they did back in the old days (e.g. swearing, constantly cracking jokes, etc.).

2pro4show Posted October 4, 2015 Because it was hilarious? And it's a callback to the old school days. HMW and Phil are pretty much the original Melee commentators. You obviously are pretty new to the Smash scene and are missing a lot of context here, people seemed pretty happy with it: 1 , 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
beamimpact Posted October 5, 2015 ill just look at it from a different prespective, smash is on the edge to become a very popular esports game, just look at the development it did within just one year with the raise in price money ,viewership increasement on twitch, the growing attendance on tourneys and a lot more theres just no more space for such a type of commentary if you want to become the next big thing (next to csgo and moba), at least not on one of the two centerstage channels its no longer an underground sport played and broadcasted out of a garage where you would expect commentary like that theres nothing wrong with having a third channel dedicated for exactly that kind of commentary so the professionalism doesnt suffer though, i mean they could have also done it on the third "tourneylocator" channel also different people different tastes, found it fairly inappropriate Quote Share this post Link to post
