THE HYPE REPORT

Smash at Xanadu 169: October 7th, 2016

Analysis: WaDi vs. Nature

This week we saw a lot of great match-ups. There were lots of great plays and plenty of hype to go around. However, the domination came ultimately from WaDi, as is expected these days. What wasn't expected was the lineup of counter-Mewtwo's, seemingly ready to break the player down. WaDi stood strong despite the odds and demonstrated not only his character knowledge but his willingness to adapt and surprise at any moment.

In game one, we saw the first of these challengers step up to the plate: Nature has also been showing a strong Mewtwo game as of late. WaDi quickly gained the lead, though, from aerials and grabs that his play-style is known for, while both charged shadow balls. The first stock was taken when Nature jumped up from the ledge and threw out an almost-full neutral-special, which was deflected back by WaDi at point-blank range. Not half a minute later, Nature failed to grab the ledge out of a teleport and fast-fell to his death.

Game two saw Nature put up a much better fight from the start, which put both players at 95% until Nature managed to spike WaDi and take the first stock. The response involved a neutral-air into grab/up-throw kill from WaDi. After some more of his tricks, WaDi finished the match-up with a n-air, footstool, disable, and up-smash.

This matchup's VoD was the shortest in VGBootCamp's S@X 169 playlist. WaDi continued on completely undefeated in this week's tournament, even taking on Dunnobro's version of Mewtwo. WaDi clearly has no problem with clone wars as he proved here that he knows the character best. To put it simply, Nature couldn't keep up.

This week's S@X had a lot of hype and I would encourage its viewing by linking not just the match I talked about, but the whole playlist.

Obviously, I spend a lot of time watching these VoDs in order to keep up with the ever-changing esports environment. If you expect to improve, I recommend doing the same to a degree. VGBootCamp is only one of the ways to keep your Smash game sharp! Cheers to an especially hype week at Xanadu!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
