2GG Kongo Saga - CG | UCI | T3 DOME (Richter) VS Tea (Pac-Man) Top 128 - Smash Ultimate

bro that looked like the most stressful set tea has ever played n his life

Ehhh, idk about that man, he had the courage to switch to Donkey Kong, so I think he was actually rather comfortable in that set.

@@KingDarksider I mean as bad as the monke is, throwing that projectile spamming character with terrible recovery off the stage seems very appealing. Plus it’s still a low tier vs low tier match

Tea just found his way through this oppressive zoning/long ranged aerials/long ranged normals. It was beautiful to watch Tea delicately dance around it all. It was amazing watching tea standing, doing nothing, waiting after the 3rd-4th aerial/ and 3rd zone to sneak his way in and get his damage/kill. Two truly talented players going at it in their own personal playstyles.

[@lambchu6459]

Pretty sure hes using DK to cover Pacs even or bad MUs.

[@j.prt.979]

That was definitely not sandbagging. DK was nasty Edit: Also, it’s a common tactic top players use. After the first game, if it was fairly even or they aren’t feeling confident in their main, they switch it up to mix up the opponent, hopefully regaining momentum/confidence. If it works and they win a game with the counterpick, they roll with it until it loses. If they lose, they usually switch back. I’ve seen it a bunch of times.

[@mamidijoqueno7861]

@@j.prt.979 So that's what sandbaggin means?

Mami Dijo Que No no, it isn’t. Sandbagging means intentionally playing suboptimally or intentionally using a suboptimal character to disrespect your opponent/help them win.

@@nathanlevesque7812 Tether cant be prevented without actually hitting Richter before it connects. It can and will harmlessly pass straight through opponents simply in the way, connect, and then pull Richter thru them. the basic function of tethering however is simply Inconsistent, prone to dead zones, and effected by angling and momentum. Even the best Belmont in the world like Dome will SD sometimes from tether jank

Deemer would you be entertained if two players just spam and spam projectiles. The answer to this game seems just to out camp your opponent. No one wants to see that. It’s boring it will kill ultimate but thank god we have entertaining players like mk leo that just doesn’t spam projectiles. Also the top players play with characters that require much more skill than just spamming b so I’m glad we don’t see these toxic players the farther the tournament goes

[@jacksontutt3439]

@@saulcaneloalvarez7524 Richter is much more than brain dead spamming. It's genuinely difficult to play him at that level even if it looks lame or simple. To me at least some of the stuff Richter can do is really cool, crazy conversions off of seemingly random hits. I think some people are too quick to judge and criticize when they see projectile play.

[@saulcaneloalvarez7524]

Deemer check yourself out of the top players who is just a brain dead moron just spamming and spamming projectiles. And I respect if you like to watch people just spamming b buttons but I personally don’t like it, that’s what you would see online. All zoners play the same. There are some players that take zoners and make them entertaining like T. That makes them unpredictable. In this match up you know ritcher is just gonna spam projectiles.
