Good thing Shulk didn't whiff the fart counter.

ValiantNorth · Apr 7, 2015

The ****ing shulk my god

DaRkJaWs · Apr 7, 2015

As long as you don't spam shulks counter too much the length of it pretty much guarantees you will get the counter if of course you made a decent read to begin with.

that snake tho,

Trieste SP · Apr 7, 2015

That shulk was soo good.

Zethoro · Apr 7, 2015

Man, and there are still people who think ZeRo's a tier scrub...dude dominates everyone without Diddy anyway. Kudos to that MK for the 60% combo too. I thought he was bringing it right back then ZeRo just spiked him again.
I have no problem with people playing Diddy, but I have so much respect for ZeRo.

Care to explain instead of giving a vague one-liner bashing who is unarguably the best Sm4sh player at this time?

Shulk was awesome in that video!

yea, Zero is a smash 4 god right now.

TMJ_Jack · Apr 7, 2015

I totally have that same Diddy Kong shirt.

Budget Player Cadet_ · Apr 8, 2015

Hating on zero because he plays a top tier is silly. The man is not even debatably the best player in the world right now. Like, he's the new Ken. Who cares if Marth is top tier?

Lizalfos · Apr 8, 2015

Lmao @ tier hate.
Maybe if you stopped playing Lucina you could win.
Maining top tier waifus is where its at.

Exactly how I was dancing with that Mewtwo trailer being shown and the confirmation date for him being playable.

This. I've never understood the hate, I believe it comes from the fact he has focused on Smash 4 and not Melee, though I have heard he will be getting into Melee soon.

He could dominate with almost any character. Even when he is playing tourneys, it just looks like he is having fun.

Respect.

keysoul00 · Apr 8, 2015

i wonder whats people idea of combo of mewtwo. people be lil wtf how to control him like melee

rekgrizzly · Apr 8, 2015

The thing about playing shulk is that you just have to aware of the moves you throw out cause some have some series ending lag to them

Silvia · Apr 8, 2015

Good stuff, cant wait to use some of those combos.

Vision of the Fart.
Quite a beautiful name for a movie or a book. I wonder if Shulk was really feeling the smell.

I didn't like him at first, but he grows on you. I really think it was just early Diddy rage that got people on his hate train.

ss3katen · Apr 9, 2015

Nerf ZeRo. Geez that kid is way too good :D

TreK · Apr 9, 2015

The PM Ike clip from this video is from the 4th episode of a series of PM highlight videos from France called the Waku Show. Check it out if that sounds fun to you, we're also doing a Smash 4 WakuShow on the same channel !

It's Fauster.

Raethien · Apr 9, 2015

Zero is the one who inspired me to main Captain Falcon. His is so good.

#HBC | Red Ryu · Apr 9, 2015

That shulk counter was amazing.

BuTTNutz · Apr 9, 2015

I don't get it, is ZeRo a Diddy

or a C Falcon

main? I see him play both equally.

Respect.

The hate came way before Sm4sh. People disliked him for being a "tier *****" because he played Fox in Melee, Metaknight in Brawl, and people insisted his Pit was broken in PM.

Besides that, the hate amped up after the Sm4sh Invitational at E3 where he stalled out the grand finals against Hbox when he was behind so he could bring it to sudden death which he won. Under Nintendo's ruleset sudden death counted and many people thought he robbed Hbox considering her would have lost under more traditional rulesets.

I personally like ZeRo as a player, I think a lot of the things people hate on him for are things you could hate other top Smashers for too.

He mains

, but also plays

,

, and

. He's just so good at reads and combos that it doesn't matter who he's using.

Zero is still a

main, as this recent video says.
https://youtu.be/Wdb31Al1y6Q?t=139
It's in Spanish, but it's easy to realize that Riserback asks him if Falcon is his main, and he responds that Diddy is his main.
However, he uses

and

competitively frequently as well. These three are his primary characters.

diddy isn't realley an original choice imo but I can still respect his choice

ZeRo! Awesome!
