NODE 2019 OFFICE SMASH TOURNAMENT - Qualifying Round

Today is the day we have all been waiting for the note. Friendships in the

2019

office

-wide Ultimate Smash

tournament

will be put to the test as contestants face off in a single-elimination bracket of free actions to determine once and for all who is the best for months. Almost everyone has trained vigorously to rip the crime from Niko's head, but will Nikko hold on as the reigning champion or will a new challenger step forward and take the glory from him? There will be screams, there will be tears, and ultimately there will be only one. I am left standing to take the title as the

office

champion, stay tuned for this epic two-part battle for the final victory, so we will start with the first match here, let's do it, these are two great achievements of my life that have happened in the past.

I had a son twelve months ago: I'm the current reigning Smash Brothers Champion Nico, everyone knows last year's champion, but just like Tom Brady lost to the Philadelphia Eagles against Nick Foles, I'm st. Basically, Nick there's a lot at stake in this match because if Nika wins it means he will continue his reign and if Jake wins we won't be able to play Smash Brothers in this office anymore. Alright guys good luck so at the beginning of this match during the interview someone told me that he was practicing at home and practicing hunting so we'll see if he was lying to me because there was a change so it looks like Nick he was just mastering the competition rag, he was just grabbing them over and over again.

Oh. Not a good start, that's a classic classic Rico move with the downward move that Jake did again just kicking Nico's bread and butter, now he's just using his most powerful moves right now to knock him off the map lo as fast as possible, yes, Nico. He doesn't want this match to collapse, he doesn't start, so Nico loses a match, firstborn. Oh, here, he's coming back, idiot, still in the fight. Oh Nico, you can say these punches are the Ken doll and Nico wins with his overhead sword swing I guess. you guys can keep playing, that's like the king walking into the courtroom and just kicking the jester, yeah this is like kicking the jester and the nuts just to show everyone he means business, yeah, with Nico securing his position , now we cut to Christian facing off. the only Jenna Moll, the only concern I have is that I haven't had much practice against him.

I practice against everyone in the office, but Jan doesn't work here every day, so they could lose him, I don't expect that. I am very excited for this

tournament

. I know I will win. I'm here now. I have high hopes for this match. What do you think? Probably the favorite gcgm of Christians is a Chaos Lord. He plays with random characters, which means he knows all the characters. You see how this turns out, oh here we go, round two is Christian against Jan. Jan said that he will play random characters. I don't know if this is a random character for him.

She has a few tricks. Disease. He will charge his Side Strike and he will catch them with what is basically a chainsaw that slams them into the ground and then stacks them and gives her the decision to choose which direction she wants to go, but changes the fire, you with her on a plane It's heavy, okay? she looks heavy now i think the changes need to slow down stay out of range to keep her at bay yeah you can't let me play a good combo so jank and lacy's damage reduced from 0.2 to 20 that's pretty good there it is, if it were. closer to the edge it would have been a kale, it's back at 20 percent, it gets hit once with a good solid hit near the edge, it's gone, it weighs, it's back, Jen has long reach, but no He seems to be using it a lot.

Oh, there it is, if Jen can use long range, then she can win. I was like I had the first thick of it. Oh, this corner comes out with these random accents squashed, oh, this danger zone on the edge of the screen, right? Here, if Jen can crush according to the right, she is done, but she also has a chance of having 15% 150. Christian got ahead, but still could have lost points. Next up is veteran player King Dedede, who picks on Syrian newcomer Nick, who hasn't played Smash. brothers since his friend's 12th birthday party. I don't think Nick has ever played Smash Ultimate, so it's a free game, but you never know.

I'm playing against Dean. Hell, Dean beats Niko all the time. How much? But this is rigged. What makes this particular match special is that Nick is competing and Nick has a lucky streak. In the first gaming tournament that Nick participated in, he won first place, so this is the second gaming tournament that he participated in and could win, Nick vs. Dean gets a stock, let's see how this goes down. Dean, honestly, if Nick doesn't get three shares, it's a win. Which? Well, I don't even know what I am. Nick commits suicide. The controls are so good.

Wow, it's like he played this. Before these get stolen, actually dude I can't even get on the ground, if Nick can hear me there's a second joystick controller that can solve some of his problems, maybe not like hitting a kid, and he'll know that Dean is actually a convicted child beater. Child-beater Dean moves forward leading to our next battle between Ren and Sam. My name is Ren. I'll play. It's Toon Link. He is fast and agile. He has the bombs. he started blowing up the game, actually he has become very, very, very good. I'm not worried about Sam at all, unless he's a Simon, his task.

I'm in trouble, if not, I'm ready to move on. Sam has improved his speech. Sam is blocking Zeller. Here we are. Come on, we've got our competitors locked in, we ran a tomb link and Sam as Zelda, the princess of lightness vs. the hero of time, the cartoon going on to tell this cast of giant armored soldiers to get into the fight, it's kind of a trap, grenzen, go move with Toon Link. here is the throwing of bombs and arrows from a distance plus a boomerang. You have three different projectiles to choose from, but with a character like Zelda, because you have so many managers, this is the equivalent of Street Fighter, where both people play as Ken and The Two Boys of Robidoux on the other side of the row, I, very versatile, very clean, let's see if Ren can learn from this and change the strategy in the second.

Here Ren has to push because if he doesn't, Sam will keep throwing things at him. Reach out and punish him Ren, sure, you're essentially getting a little better, but Ren is changing even more, but that's all deep, he falls back into all this screaming I hear from Ren, it sounds like Sam is getting close to him, we'll see how this. The match ends and if Sam can take advantage of these screams, God beware: Sam's magic slippers Sam's magic slippers: more damage in the anticipation we will get free stuff, it's like in the game with a shout of your character's name , let's try to open IRL, but it's happening because you're losing Kitty, it follows exactly what Brandis needs to do, she needs her big shield to be punished, she only has 10% so she basically has a new life, I think Ren could build to avoid this reset, keep it up, Sam is at a kill range, but Toon Link has been a problem admitting kills because he doesn't have these hard hits up to 90 interesting with a higher B leaving him open to being punished again.

What Redne did was turn the cheese into Swiss Cheese and find some holes that he needed in that exact offense, it's a very good analogy. I mean the cheese analogies, holy cheese, we're going to move on to the next round with Wasgood West taking on you sup people, and what a good thing, and I play this. Bowser Jr. so my opponent is Wes. I see him practicing in the offices. I know it's a switch. I know he plays

smash

and I don't do any of those things, but I do play video games and I've played video games before, so I feel like he's my opponent.

Natural abilities and video games should be able to hopefully lead me to victory. Wes is a newcomer to the studio, but he is a veteran when it comes to Smash Brothers, yes, now on the other hand, he has a lot of innate talent when it comes to video. games, but he doesn't own a Nintendo Switch, so he asks her: Will his slightly faster-than-average reflexes make up for his lack of experience? Could he really be good? Matt, I like taking pictures. I am not going to lie. I'm very curious to see what West's victory could look like because this character is very interesting and difficult to play.

CD quickly learns what his moves are, so he has already figured out his projectile and forgot about his optimism because in the melee attack he is off to a good start. D is already in the lead, he has to be careful with these projectiles, careful with that cannonball at close range. Look, he saw a small sample there, but once Wes is small, the teacup starts rolling, it's very difficult to dodge, that's true, the thing is Wes. doesn't do much damage Roy isn't exactly known for being a powerhouse he has to win little by little in the middle he has that Limit Break he almost leaves the ring oh my god, take the actions in the West, enter slowly Oh the cats become a little air short it has breaking limit he's going to use it everything he's going to use it you could be the but button B Jimmy is in charge again Oh Lewis tries to come in for that in charge you can see it's It's like a Mario Kart crossover.

I talk about these reflections and you can see it come into play right here, see the ones coming at him. Here we go, a little mind trick, he's trying to get aggressive, but that once again leads to West controlling. the pace yes West control the pace withum the way they won West control the pace you trust Nash is out of reach to grab there's the grab West once again Krupa is a Swiss army knife of a player who has a good chance of a limit break but not used ooh West trying to play some mind games, good option with Bowser jr though. or Roy in this case because, after all, they are villains.

Bowser has had many, many children, so it's very difficult who Bowser is that has these children. Alright. Wes has to commit to the

smash

attack or take too much damage. You knock him out. He knocks him out. This is anyone's game, but now he himself has a chance to deal some damage if Dee doesn't deal any damage and he won't succeed on the CD as a 1%. The tables are completely equal. Both fighters have slowed down and are trying. to look for a hole in each other, a little damage to help, but not enough to tip the stepson gentlemen, the boy Dino, it was a good fight, you know honestly, he had good fundamentals, he was trying to find a rhythm , but finally he understood and brought it. some good tactics in the game, yes if I continue with those combos I could have a child, he made it possible, but it was a very close game going into the sixth round of battle, it's the two seas, Quint against cliff, hello, my name.

It's Clinton Jones and today I'm playing as Bowser just Canton Plains nests dressed nests come on it's all about nests I've been trained to pass I know I'm in game Smash Bros Brawl come on man I'm

node

cliff and today I'm playing as Richter. Quill has a legit record. We exchange games constantly. We'll see how he goes. It could be anyone's game. This will be a real fight. Clint or Cliff have what it takes to be a great champion. Yes, and while their names may be similar, their play styles couldn't be more different. Clint trained with a professional Smash Bros player two days ago.

Oh, what's with me is a friend on the other microphone. I know my old rival, but now we are friends. Clint is really. Well with that bat, just like the hidden things, Back Cliff is really good at the combination of throwing fire into a whip, it will go fast. However, Clinton looks at how quickly you can get out like three little attacks so fast that they shoot into an early look. go bounce, push, this is juggling, it's perfect, also Clint was discussing this with me, he's approaching this game with a new hero perspective, like a multi-faceted approach to his tactics, where he'll basically keep things changing in ways faster, there's no way I.

I'm not very familiar with Clint's strategy, but what it seems is that he is implementing different strategies throughout the game, so Cliff has a harder time learning and he has more patterns on the back end. Clint just wonders what mango mango would do well. could you bring mango and real quick on skype here we want you to be dancing the dance of death just when you think it's going one way and it's going another fire and ice oh, it's spinning it's moving you know, that man is that, can you ? juggling it, can't it be everything to you? thank you, it's an honor, it's a real honor and I will use it until the final in your second battles of the day, it's Christian against the current champion Nico, okay, next round I have Nico and I will take them because Ganon is not that fast with my corn, so I don't think you have a chance, naturally.

I'm going to face Christian Max. The thing is Christian 3 football yesterday, which has inspired me to Practice to figure out some things, so hopefully atEntering the spiah I'll be ready to take control and make it mine, so Nico's heavy crown is tested once again. You know, they say the heavier the crown, the thicker the neck. Yeah, so that's a thick neck. We're dealing with this, so let's see if Christians hold on and hold Nico's thickness to elevate the bearers against each other. Let's look at juju, the hadouken battle right away, that's a classic move where the downward knee could open up your classic downward movement to jump and kick. oh yeah, the speed difference is huge in this matchup, there he goes, he's just trying to punish him and show you that downward move you think.

Skanda hasn't landed many hits, but he's losing a lot of damage, although Ganon is so heavy that if you hit yourself in the side, look at that, oh that grab is impossible for me as it is the scariest tactic because there is no way you can avoid it you can't block it can you check it I am pow 37% Gannon is very dangerous because of his strength and his weight this is bad Nico has a chance that the three stars that Christian himself is gaining is very strong but he's actually not that slow, it was like he was such a strong card, it's like playing Nightmare in Soul Calibur ooh, one of the best, one of the best, that huge sword, but really very good speed for the damage it takes from the return hit. oh that was going to be it, he was going to be nice Christian saw the life out of him, that was a strength opportunity for a counterattack, maybe Chris is getting a little tired, what do you think?

Yes, it seems so. I think I would be scared too because of not only that. he fights the reigning champion, but he also fights Ganon, who has that powerful sword move. This is like David versus Goliath right now because corn does very little damage. She's been doing combos up and to the right, but he only hit 54% and that could lead to that to hit Wow, now we're starting to land some hips, he's lifting them up again, he's almost at that one hundred percent , Foley doctor, whoo, here we go down, we're starting to get close, come a little closer, look at that grab that literally did over 30%. damage to him, it's like well, it wasn't three humiliating saves, no it wasn't, yeah, what I'm learning if I watch this match in the second round, a monster that stomps a pub, just destroys people, he has that move hurry and grab.

He can basically outrun most blondes, yeah he's basically unblockable and you know it's really hard to see a comment because he's really really fast and deals a ton of damage because of an uneven pool. Sam has come up with a ridiculous bonus round for Dean in the next two. people have to play something called fool. Sam created some kind of special game mode just for us, so I have no idea what to expect with this, so Dean will have to survive for a minute without dying against Captain Falcon's 7pi damage. throwing only Falcon punches, well here we go, done, this will be the game that will hopefully send you to the next round.

Question, you know, I was going to be down here, we can mutually, that'll just drive us out. I'm getting stuck at the bottom. Challenge Yes, if you didn't have friendly fire on me, I would have lost instantly. I know everyone would have this swarm, not me, well it was a strange thing and it would have been hard to lose because if he lost who would have followed? He would have had to fight 70 Falcons captains. I guess so, it could have been seven captains up to the seventh and everyone in the office, after a grueling first day of battle, many of our contestants have fallen, leaving only five advancing to the next stage of the story.

Subscribe so you don't miss the epic conclusion coming out tomorrow where we'll see if Nikko can maintain his reign as champion or if a new king will take his crown.
