Following its predecessors, the French Smash community thoughtwas gonna be just another French "semi-national", if you will. Hosted by, the six previous editions mostly featured the best players from Paris, like Glutonny, Elexiao or the Phogos/Deimos brothers. Nothing out of the ordinary, right?How wrong we were...More and more top players were announced, and things just got out of hand. Now SmashDown World is looking like, with most of the continent in attendance, as well as some heavy-hitters from the US and Japan. If you like Smash 4 and you have access to the internet on, you have no excuses to miss this!Ramin "" DelshadSince he has yet to win a major, I think a lot of people don't give Mr.R the credit he deserves. Along with Dabuz, this champion from the Netherlands remains probably. So consistent in fact, that he's actually won EVERY. SINGLE. TOURNAMENT he's entered in Europe, with only a handful of people being able to even take a set from him. However, since his return from the US he's had more competition, withand a few others stepping it up and making him work for those wins. And of course, with how many international threats will be at this tournament, keeping that spotless record is going to be anything but easy.Takuto "DNG |" OnoHow do you go from not even being included in the Panda Global's Top 50 to? I don't know, ask Kameme I suppose. While his performance at The Big House 6 wasn't as impressive as some would've hoped, losing fairly early to Marss, then Salem in Losers, Kameme continues to strive in Japan. His latest antics consist of, yet still breezing through most of Japan, and placing very high, with a technical mastery of the character only rivaled by VoiD, if you ask me. Of course he's still known mostly for his Mega Man, but with a very wide variety of characters at his disposal, Kameme probably has a lot of surprises in store for us.Jason "IMT |" BatesSporting an even WIDER variety of characters, ANTi will also be joining us for SmashDown World, on what I believe will be his very first trip to Europe for Smash. Some people doubted him after a few disappointing results following his CEO win, but he recently silenced his critics by, taking a very convincing set over ZeRo in the process. While Europe knows most of the characters ANTi plays pretty well (even Charizard!), it's clear that this is one player who won't go down without a fight, regardless of the opponent.2GG |" is a vague, highly contended title, but after months of unrivaled consistency in his home country, this title was given to Komorikiri. Indeed in the recently released Japanese PR, this Cloud/Sonic dual main earned the first place, above(2nd) and(3rd), and his very impressive 3rd place at The Big House 6 shows that it's well deserved. With Europe notoriously lacking good Sonics and, things are looking good for Komo, especially if he can adapt to ANTi's ZSS.pM |Despite a recent lack of attendance and a surprising 9th place at the latest AGON (German national), cyve is still, and a. Like many German players, his technique and optimization are truly a sight to behold, and it's safe to say he's one of the best Diddies out there. With a brutal Bayonetta and Mewtwo also at his disposal, cyve has a dangerous combination that is able to deal with any matchup. Even the aforentioned titans should keep an eye out for him, because they're gonna have to earn their victory if they run into him.GGWP |Probably Europe's second most well-known player after Mr.R, and for good reason. With, iStudying is no slouch. The best part is that he does it all with style, using some of those Greninja "Vine combos" in actual sets, to great effect. Now he's got a lot of competition in Europe, and a few demons that aren't Mr.R in his home country of the Netherlands... However, iStudying rarely disappoints when it comes to European majors, and. Who knows, we could have a repeat of BEAST 6, with iStudying taking some more BIG names.is Ixis, the electrifying Sonic main from the UK. I already said that about him for Neokan Party 2 (that he then proceeded to win), and he's still just as good and consistent, usually only losing to the very best Europe has to offer... That is,. I guess with how technical and active he is, these things are prone to happen, but at least it makes for some of the most entertaining Sonic gameplay you'll find. If you're scared of the boring spin dash camping Sonic is infamous for, don't be, becausethat's for sure.orKs |Coming fresh off a sponsorship with, Elexiao has kinda been on a tear lately. He's won Neokan Party 3, Geneva Gaming Convention and TOAST, and I don't think he plans to stop there. While, his playstyle is very different, being more defensive, read based and reserved. As you might imagine, that translates into his Pac-Man very well, and it's not uncommon to see Elexiao switch if the frog isn't working. With a Roy and a Ryu also under his belt, this is quite the unique array of characters, and one that I think. Now, will that be enough against the best the world has to offer? We'll see!pM |Though he did not get very far at The Big House 6, running into Komorikiri very early in pools, Sodrek did take quite a lot of names at the US locals he attended for practice., among others, showing that he has what it takes to compete with some of the world's most fearsome players. Like cyve, his Fox is especially technical and optimized, with. He's also notably the only person in Europe to have... That's a lot of praise, but Sodrek is far from invincible, with many of the SDW attendants having beaten him before. That said, he took down two of his demons at Eclipse 2, by eliminating both iStudying and Ixis, so we'll see if he can make some magic happen again.BYOC |In the absence of, a lot of people seem to think Ness mains are basically extinct, but that's because too few of them know about S1. With a, S1 sits comfortably as Netherland's second best player, behind Mr.R. Despite this, he doesn't seem to perform as well when out of country, with iStudying usually outplacing him, so hopefully he can break that curse at SmashDown World and show the world what he's got. Last I saw him,, so if you want some good Ness footage, this is one player you should definitely keep an eye on.I think a good way to describe Glutonny would be "chaotic". Currently, Glutonny's playstyle couldn't be more different from Elexiao's, ranked 2nd. Unpredictible, weird, ridiculously aggro, but at the same time extremely creative, Glutonny is a dangerous player, and one that you can't really prepare for. He's undeniably(maybe THE best?), and let me tell you, he only gets more difficult to deal with when he has France rooting for him. It sometimes feels like he doesn't care too much at smaller events, but he always steps it up when he has to represent his country, even giving Mr.R a run for his money a few times.It feels like forever since. For a while he was seen as the best Luigi, but I feel like he kinda fell into obscurity afterwards, and his short break from the Smash scene didn't help either. However, I'd say there's an argument to be made about him still being up there with Elegant, ConCon and Ron as. At the Rio eGames, Miller was able to not only, but also, keeping it very close all the way. Syndicate didn't go as well for him, but if he's on point, anything could happen, especially with Luigi becoming more and more rare outside of SoCal.pM |At, the latest German tournament, we saw crazy upsets left and right. Cyve and BluB at 9th, Jbandrew at 17th, Eddy and Yikarur at 33rd... Maybe it was the 2 stock format they tried for the first time, but either way, it was messy. That didn't seem to phase LoNg0uw however, who, securing his spot as most likely the best ROB in Europe, and one of Germany's best players. With his calm, smart, almost surgical playstyle and insane gyro control, LoNg0uw is a ROB I think a lot of people could learn from. Surprisingly though, pretty much every region in Europe has good ROB experience, so matchup inexperience isn't something he'll be able to rely on. Not that he needs it.unK |You know, at least I can just use the Substitute icon for ANTi because while he has a lot of characters, he's still mostly a Mario main., and he's somehow just as good with all of them. Just when you think he's finally dropping one of them, he takes some big name using said character, and suddenly you don't know what to think anymore. To say Griffith is ready for anything you can throw at him would be an understatement, and he's usually. His results out of region aren't too shabby either, with a 7th place at Syndicate, and wins over a lot of top EU players such as, and more.As you can tell from the schedule, SmashDown World will also feature a, which might be interesting if you're into that. With so many Brawl legends in attendance, and with Germany regularly having Brawl tournaments... this might be fun as well.The tournament should be streamed on's Twitch channel here , after the stream is over. So no worries, if you miss it and you can't access the Twitch VODs, you'll get to see what you missed soon after.If you have any questions, contact me on Twitter ( @Tetra_76 ), or you can ask the TO directly ( @GL_Lif3s ).
