That was a great match, game 2 in particular was ridiculous lol

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

I raise you game 3, that was insane.

[@anthonylyon13]

This is a dream set

[@Janksta]

69 likes lol

[@zacksimmons4146]

Heavies are the best characters to watch. The games are so swingy.

[@FinnishCraig3]

That 8:40 set up! Kirby Kid really got a read on those lasers after game 1 after taking so many hits from them. Great adaptation!

[@starmantheta2028]

Man I love both of these characters. Watching them duking it out no holds barred is a real treat.

[@somegalnamedseelpit3713]

Gosh, KirbyKid just played out of his mind! Amazing to see so many techniques being used - the ledge cannons, reflector timings, the crown -> upsmash...so much good stuff!

[@samshapira8295]

Jesus that game 3 was crazy. Seeing Kirbykid get a double dair to gimp Kazuya was insane.

[@cyber895]

loved the entire set; that was solid play!

[@KW-wr3xv]

did anyone else catch that when k rool's backthrow was referred to as the "credit card swipe?"

[@comboballer]

yo. those before game character specific intros are NICE.. i wanna watch them all

[@niIIer1]

Kirbykid is who all K.rool mains want to be.

[@Hellopleesh]

Man Brr just kept making the same mistake against the Vacuum at ledge, which is not that hard to beat lol.

[@sailgoat4733]

All he had to do was wait for him to drop beneath the platform and get up attack

[@devinbuerger4192]

you guys have no idea how short range kazuya getup attack is if you think he couldve in most of those situations

[@sailgoat4733]

@@devinbuerger4192 oh then rip

[@TaariqBethea]

He could ewgf off ledge bc you only have 1 frame to punish the set up

[@sirtoxic5147]

@@devinbuerger4192 To beat that set up all you do is wait at the ledge then pick an option

kirbykid's timing is top tier

Underrated set

[@Hell-Yum]

This third match was hella hype Both players getting kills this early was incredibly cool

[@truendymion]

Both of these guys fight dirty as hell hahaha

[@bruinsgirl3398]

My GOD, what a set!! The start of the last game was nuts

[@tericotapie2536]

This match was actually entertaining.

[@dr.rockzo7193]

That low angle at 9:42 was because kirbykid di’d down to avoid going offstage

[@AgnaktoreX]

Dude what a set and cannot believe that it ended like this xD

[@daslick6085]

Damn kirby kid is good

[@diamonddustin7664]

Mad good

[@anthonylyon13]

Dude that game 2, that first ledge trap... oh my god

[@spencermcbride3881]

I commented that before watching game 5. Pretty funny how the commentators were surprised he died, they don't know it does 70% double reflected

[@somegalnamedseelpit3713]

I thought it did ""only"" 48%? Since Kazuya went 52 -> 100. Still amazing to just watch that unfold!

[@ka-boom2083]

It doesn’t do 70%

[@Moss_Dude]

That is one of the scariest tags ever, because the last thing I want to fight is a Kazuya that goes brrrr

[@grapeeggplant3863]

Kirbykids edge guarding is impeccable

[@daktacush2347]

Sakurai must be proud to see competitors like Kirby Kid keeping the spirit of smash gameplay alive in the 1v1 scene. So much of the meta seems to kind of subvert the quirkiness of the game but you can't get around the absurdity that is king K. I would argue that despite his poor reputation, characters like Steve also keep that smash chaos alive. Kazuya feels more like other fighting games that dont stray from the traditional archetype unfortunately along with a lot of the sword characters. I heard Sakurai lament the sheer number of sword characters in the game and I understand why.

[@About9000]

these boys be savage

[@TheWatchmanOfTheEnd]

Watching this just reminded me that players have gotten to comfortable with top tiers doing all the work for them

[@mangoldleather6671]

That was pure art.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

that animation @ 5:33 had me 😅😅

[@312bigbeanburrito]

This matchup is nuts lol. Theoretically Kazuya should win this by a large margin, especially at the highest levels of play i.e Riddles. But Kirbykid clearly knew this matchup better than brr, and brr's execution was not on point enough to make up for how hard they got matchup checked by reflect and blundersucc

Eric was actually KK's cousin that was murdered on New Years day 2021

[@sailgoat4733]

why didn't brr just get up attack on those vacuum ledge traps

[@devinbuerger4192]

because kazuya getup attack is wayyy too short to hit it except maybe one other time aside from the one time he did

[@Mixa_Lv]

Lmao the platform succ seriously won the set for Kirbykid :D

[@inuinu_hontoniinu]

[@Gnarfledarf]

Game 3 was insane.

[@mar0398]

Is he ‘ya boy brrrr’ or is he ‘they’… The struggle of the announcers is real Bro dude Brrr did great

[@MrSillyheadSr]

The struggle to avoid saying he?

[@gotex6639]

Brrr brrr bro

[@giovannigaul8095]

That Kaz made my eyes cry

[@spencermcbride3881]

I wonder why Kirby kid doesn't bait the Kaz with cannonball. If kaz reflects it, and then k rool reflects it back, Kaz dies at 0%

[@Hellopleesh]

He literally killed Kaz with that at 11:45 lol.

[@Hose_10]

[@tommallama9663]

I love watching Kirby Kid, but why does he look like he could be Little Z's little brother xD

[@tylerdenneson7320]

That set…..

[@SoothingFanta]

I feel that the K. Rool edge guard makes the game feel a lot less hype

[@glybe]

gameplay is crustyyyyyy

[@emme6907]

I will never support DLC char players. Go King

[@SuperNintendoChalmers096]

Man, Kazuya is so stupid, just mash A to win

[@noirlavender6409]

ez game

[@aaronteebor6697]

Heavy characters like K. Rule are so obnoxious to fight. You outplay them constantly and they land two - four hits and your dead

[@thamonito]

That's the trade-off of using heavies. As a Dedede main, I'm used to getting my ass combo-ed to hell but landing them slow meaty hits is so satisfying.

[@devinbuerger4192]

Feel bad for Brr. KirbyKid is good in his own right but this matchup is literally just get kazuya offstage and then cannon for free since kazuya ledge jump is nonexistant, and his getup attack has no range. He played lame but he did what he had to.

[@rubberwoody]

you say absolutely a lot

[@slvrbsam11]

Bro k rool is such a spam ass character

[@NotViridium]

its workin doe

[@morgn1505]

Are you completely unaware of Kazyua spamming God Wind Fist? My God some people

[@boltok9584]

???? right cause no other character in the a+ bracket is a spammer??? the logic

[@dukepaulus2132]

kirbykid legit playing like a bot trained in quickplay, i feel bad for the commentators having to hype them up

[@theKIRBYDAD]

Because you can do so much better, right?

[@tyron-thevictim-woodley698]

What a garbage Kazuya

[@poeticdavide]

Not garbage, but could've been better. Kept falling for the vacuum gun.
