Today is the birthday of an innovator and a legend

EMPEROR_THEO

I only use characters with wakeup scoops.
Today is the date of birth of the man that, when he played Injustice, was the first one to say...."hmm, B12 trident rush is pretty good".

He is the man that innovated all other Aquamen to abuse that move, and was the O.G. that put the King of Atlantis on the map.

Happy birthday to @GGA Dizzy

Here is an obligatory video of him making @GGA 16 Bit salty at UFGT 2013 in a MU that was once 3-7 in Frost's favor.

Also, please tag Dizzy at least 10-1000 times when you wish him happy birthday as revenge for him discovering the brokenness of trident rush.

Damn, the Tom vs. Dizzy rivalry was looking so promising back in May of 2013 (there was strong heat between Tom and GGA for some reason). Probably the biggest contrast in personalities ever. It would have been such a one sided rivalry too, with Tom doing all the talking (but Dizzy getting all the results :DOGE). I think we owe it all to Dizzy since he was the inspiration for the biggest bill of goods ever sold: "Trident rush isn't that good" -- Tom Brady.

Happy birthday @GGA Dizzy, we all miss our favorite false information police officer. May Cassie bring you back to us in full force.

On a sidenote, the set posted by Theo reminds me of just how retarded the stage rules were for when the game came out. Just how on earth was each player allowed to select the stage that suits him for a 50/50 (regardless of who won the previous match) is beyond me. Can't believe the first EVO was played under those rules too.

Props to him for placing top 8 using those rules and actually lobbying to get them changed to be more fair, using that as an example.

Thanks guys. It was so crazy that back then the tournament essentially came down to 50/50 in which a char would either 7-3 or get 3-7'd in some situations.

TL;DR but yeah happy birthday to the innovator and legend himself Roald Dahl!

He would've been 98 today...
