Official Summer of Smash: Part X

[Das Koopa]

Samsora and Ally are 2-2 in Loser's Finals at the moment. Really even play so far.

 

[ARGHETH]

And Ally SDs.

Samsora gets the reverse 3-0 to double-eliminate Ally

Aba vs Samsora Grand Finals.

 

[Y2Kay]

Trevonte vs Abadango is a perfect example of how the Sheik - Mewtwo match up should be played.

Trevonte was patient in neutral, and gave Aba respect. When he found an oppurtunity to get in, he immediately swarmed and gained as much stage control as possible. Mewtwo is then forced offstage, where his ledge get up options can then be rejected by Sheik (because they are terrible) and then the cycle repeats.

But at the end of the day, A few risks and mistakes in neutral cost him the match.

@juddy96 Was right about Samsora lol

 

[blackghost]

is is everyone ready for the inevitable discussion on how good peach is?
and it is really not common knowledge that peach loses to mk?

 

[L9999]

Samsora isn't screwed then?

Not when you can get wobbled like this

She's great ladder fooder for sure.

 

[420quickscoper]

Aba wins 3-0. So. Many. Ladder. Combos. Holy crap.

 

[ARGHETH]

So does Samsora just not know how to DI/SDI the UAir/UpB chain or is the missed tech --> death an actual thing on Peach?

 

[EternalFlare]

So apparently MK can still death combo from near 0 on Peach, GnW and Rosalina regardless of SDI? Is there anyone else?

 

[Envoy of Chaos]

I feel like Sam could had did a little more to avoid those up air chains but that MU is just terrible for Peach. Grats to Aba, Sam did very well regardless.

I would assume it works on characters similar to those three, light and floaty with a good sized hurtbox.

Good to see the supposed MK nerf patch meant bugger all.

I mean...you have to follow the DI/SDI now, and the Uair chain is only guaranteed on light, floaty characters.

 

[sedrf]

SDI pls ;-;

>MFW People are mad at long combos to death
>MFW those same people would complain if a patch took it away making the game "slower"

The best thing me doing Melee carried over for me is wanting to learn counterplay instead of just QQing

MK pretty good tho LMAO

Also word to the wise.
Never play a heavy/floatie into mk ever.

 

[ARISTOS]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

So what you're saying is the Smash game considered the bastion of balance has a character that invalidates half the cast at mid level play where the bulk of the player base is.

Got it.

We are talking about MK and not Cloud, right?

Edit: Ignore

 

[blackghost]

the lesson from clutch city is if you main a character with a mu that is not only in theory bad but also in practice that bad, you need a character that covers it.
that was a good peach player. (first peach to beat ally I think) and then abandoned mad him look helpless. matchups matter people.
ps if you want your regional to be respected have commentators that know what's going on. clutch city had some bad ones.

Curious - Did Samsora attempt to SDI, or are floaties unable to get out of the MK Ladder?
