A Smash Legend Returns To The Top At Canada's Major

[@Vlazeca]

What a coincidence that SephirothKen was the best Melee player from 2003-2007, and now in 2022 a Sephiroth named Ken just won a major. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

for overseas: in KEN's livestreaming after this tournament, he mentioned that tactical sd. at that time, he was 78.8% so he tried to got loupe damage and got wing. he missed, though

[@alexpotts6520]

Big brains there even if it didn't work out. Do you know, if Sephiroth has already used his jump and then he gets wing in midair, does he get another jump?

I just wanna say that I really really appreciate these videos. I never watch these tourneys live and I'm not on Twitter so these recaps are really nice.

[@Gran_Ove]

What happened to the interviews with the tournament champions? They only released the one from Genesis 8 and from there it seems to me that there has been no more, it has been a long time since there have been multiple champions in different tournaments: Spargo, Light, Glutonny, Ken, etc and we have missed out on great interviews. It's excellent content, and I hope they don't abandon it.

[@pgstats]

Interviews will be returning soon… 😉

this is ken's first major win since umebura S.A.T in 2016.

[@_wewww]

I've been so happy as a KEN fan ngl, both his sonic and sephiroth are so good. Although the one thing that I kinda was sad about was the fact that KEN battled japanese players only in top 8 (Shuton, Tea, Tea again). Still happy for this win though, big stuff.

[@Spyder-Marth]

A Sephiroth finally won a major, beating big-name players in the process. It's a different player from who we usually see in Ult, but it's an experienced one from the past. Pretty cool. I hope newer players using different characters become top, tho.

[@theimpersonator7086]

BOBC4 was super hype despite the whack as hell ruleset. Probably my second favorite top 8 this year behind Ult Summit 4. Also, I really hope BOBC4 dispelled the myth that FD is the most neutral stage in the game. It doesn’t even make sense considering hazardless PS2 is legal for Ult

[@pancakesbf2704]

If Blanc, Tilde, or Larry Lurr replaced Shuton in Top 8 it would’ve been even better imo(cool to see spacies, particularly Larry). I like Shuton’s Olimar, but Pyra/Mythra is just cringe

[@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx]

@@pancakesbf2704 I know but i just think it’s kinda weird that to you what makes a good top eight is having your favorite characters present and having your least favorite characters not present.
