Its the first day of the worlds largest fighting game tournament, the Evolution Championship Series, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Nearly 15,000 competitors have gathered to compete in nine different fighting games, with over 2,300 of them competing in Super Smash Bros. Melee.In a sea full of people, there stands a man with a Pikachu hat and an Arizona flag on his back. Jeffrey Axe Williamson is a legend, someone whos been on top of the Super Smash Bros. scene since his first national, Genesis, in 2009. With Pikachu by his side, Axe cemented himself as the ninth best Smash player in the world last year, according to Super Smash Bros. content and analysis site Melee It On Mes SSBM Rank.At Evo 2016, he looks to win it all, something thats never too far out of his reach. Hes been close before, taking fourth at Genesis 3 and fifth at Community Effort Orlando 2016, and he believes that Evo will be his time to shine, albeit not on Fox.I think [I have a shot to win this tournament.] Ive already beaten most of [the gods] a couple of times in the past, and a couple this year and I feel like its really doable, Axe tells ESPN.com. I just have to be super on point and I cant be stopped. I know that for sure. Even losers bracket Mango or beast mode Armada, I feel like I can take them to be honest. It takes a lot of preparation and mental power and just feeling well. Theres a lot of little factors I need to be on top of to perform my best.Fifth at CEO is a good indication that Axe can perform as expected, but at Evo, there are nearly 1,800 more players in attendance, in comparison to CEOs 683. Axe says that makes this event infinitely more difficult, and that to win it all, you have to play your best.This tournament has way more players [than CEO], so its going to be a lot harder because all of the top players are here minus Leffen and PPMD, he says. Its going to be very difficult still, but technically its kind of the same top players. More of the top 100 players are here than they were at CEO. A lot of the top 100 players still give me problems, so its going to be a lot more difficult overall, but I feel more ready than I did for CEO.At CEO, he fell to Justin Plup McGrath, another player within the Top 10, who like Axe, is considered a demigod. In Melee, there are five gods: Adam Armada Lindgren, Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, Kevin PPMD Nanney, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, and Joseph Mango Marquez. Demigods are players within the top echelon who continuously challenge and at times beat the gods, or their counterpart William Leffen Hjelte.For the past few years, Axe, alongside names like Plup and Weston Westballz Dennis, have become demigods. But none have been able to take it all the way and win super majors, such as Evo, CEO, or Genesis. I ask Axe who is the next player to join the demigods.Normally, its a player thats not currently a top 100, he says. Its usually not a player whos at the top. Im looking at the players who are on the come up. Pretty much the players that come out of nowhere. Its those kind of players who surpass people and enter the top six.So if a new face breaks through, theyll need to beat the Top 10, which is currently not solidified in 2016. Axe, who was among the final list last year, thinks that a new player, Zac SFAT Cordoni, has entered the list, while the remainder of the list, besides DaJuan Shroomed McDaniel, stays the same.The top order is so confusing to order, but based off how good I think players are, I think Armada is the best. Hes number one. He just has the most skill, the most consistency, he explains. Hes crazy, hes a beast. Hungrybox has to be second at this point. Armada, Hungrybox, Mango, Leffen, Mew2King, PPMD, Plup, Axe, SFAT, and Westballz. Wes hasnt been doing so hot lately, but I know he has the skill. Hes hella good.Only one will be crowned the champion of Evo. That opens the field significantly for new people to break through, and Axe thinks as long as he beats Hungrybox and his consistent Jigglypuff, hell have his best shot. Its terrible [to play against Jigglypuff], Axe says. I hate it. I do want to beat Hungrybox really bad. Ive been watching our sets and its doable, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that.But above all, he believes that Mango will take the tournament, if he doesnt himself. A previous champion of Evo 2013 and 2014, Mango is favored to repeat and win Evo once again. Hes been outspoken about wanting it all, and practicing a ton to get there. Americas hometown hero has the best shot hes had in quite sometime.Id say Mango has a great shot at first. Mango wants it very badly, and I think that the only way for Mango to win is only if he goes absolute beast mode, Axe explains. The one trait Mango has that all of the other top players dont have, of the Top 6, is the ability to go in the zone, where he has absolute focus and everything is 100 percent different. I think hes going to take the tournament. Air Max 270 Femme Rose Pas Cher . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The growth of Josh Jackson will not eliminate whatever pressure the highly-rated freshman feels to both satisfy his preseason hype and elevate his NBA draft stock.Yet Kansas coach Bill Self has noticed his 6-foot-8 freshman welcomes whatever pressure is heaped on him with the No. 4 Jayhawks (6-1) riding a six-game winning streak entering a game Saturday against Stanford (6-2) in Allen Fieldhouse.Depth enables Kansas to sometimes ride the hot hand of an unconventional leading scorer. A case in point came in the Jayhawks most recent game when sophomore guard Lagerald Vick, in just his second career start, went 9 of 9 and netted a career-high 23 points.I dont think that Josh looks at it like, Im glad everybody else is playing good, so that takes some pressure off of me, Self said. I think (top-flight) kids look at it like I want all the pressure on me now.But it is an advantage to be able to have five guards out there that are all very capable and making plays and making shots.Jackson is the tallest in that group, a 6-8 wing who can penetrate for points or assists, and also contribute with sticky hands on the defensive end.The only time he failed to score in double figures was a nine-point performance in an overtime loss to Indiana to begin the season.Josh thinks of it like, I want to get as good as fast as I can, Self added. I think hes shown unbelievable improvement. And he didnt have a bad game against Indiana.At the rate Jackson is on, averaging 14.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists, he is quite possibly the most versatile freshman Self has coached at Kansas. Among other standouts on that list who left for tthe NBA after one year are Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid.ddddddddddddHes got great vision, Self said. He can pass and can alter (shots) and is getting more active defensively. Hes probably as all-around as any freshman weve had who can do a little bit of everything.The two small guards in the Kansas backcourt, senior Frank Mason and junior Devonte Graham, join Jackson as double-digit scorers with averages of 19.6 and 12.9 points, respectively. Each averages 5.4 assists.Stanford is coming off a 66-51 loss to No. 12 St. Marys. The Cardinal led 30-26 at halftime but shot just 28 percent from the field in the second half and made just one 3-pointer.They came out more enthused than we did, Stanford coach Jerod Haase said.Additional enthusiasm might not be enough for Stanford to upset Kansas, especially considering the Jayhawks are riding a 46-game home winning streak, which is tops in the country.Haase, however, knows the territory.He played at Kansas from 1995 to 1997 under Roy Williams. He then assisted the Kansas staff before moving on to serve as an assistant under Williams at North Carolina. Haase was head coach at UAB for four seasons before taking over this year at Stanford.Reid Travis, a 6-8 junior forward who missed much of last season with a stress reaction in a leg, will try to cause problems inside. He leads Stanford in scoring (16.3) and rebounding (9.5) and could be a load for the Jayhawks, who have lacked frontcourt production.Dorian Pickens, a 6-5 wing, averages 13.8 points and 4.4 rebounds.
