[@oats9289]

16:56 M2K empty hops so that iBDW can't crouch cancel his aerial, then opts to forward smash for the mixup into the set ending combo. So smart.

[@Sapreme]

its called a tomahawk

[@yhvhfan]

I noticed that too. So damn smart, esp saving it for the last stock.

[@darnek117]

No dude I think m2k just messed up or was expecting a tech roll in, IBDW could had just shilded that fsmash so it was just an unsafe hail Mary thing to do but it turned out so nice tho

[@lezzei]

​@@darnek117 No I'm 99% sure that was a read on iBDW's attempt to crouch cancel. If he was expecting a tech roll in he likely would've just dashdanced out of Fox's getup attack range and reacted to it instead of emptyhopping, plus Fox can get a lot more off of CCing a Marth fsmash at that percent (shine>upsmash, upthrow>upair, you name it). He _could've_ just shielded it but M2K made it seem like he would go for another grab after the emptyhop.

[@andrezKZ]

16:57 M2K realized iBDW was gonna CC the aerial he was going to throw out, so he just empty lands last second and mixes him up with Fsmash. The rest is just classic M2K. Legend.

I loooooove when you see those veteran top players flip THAT switch. Hbox does it a ton, but in Ultimate MKLeo built his career on it. Just that moment when all of a sudden a player decides to win. Man.

This m2k guy isn't the best but I see potential in this up an coming marth

[@kingchuckfinley]

m2k is hands down my favorite smash player of all time. Right now the community is in limbo. One thing this community has had more than any other gaming community is character. I don’t mean that in a “these players have better character,” but that we got to know the gods, and the other players at the top and throughout the ranks. We felt these guys were our friends. A lot of that feeling has been shattered as of late; however, Jason is pure. He’s a god of the game, but he’s also the heart and soul. This community is not dead. The person that threw the false allegations against this man out there should be ashamed of themselves. Especially for making Jason have to respond the way he did. It makes me sad and angry. Those players we looked up to that have been terrible people, and have done shitty things, sure, they deserve it, but m2k did not. If we lose m2k, the entire smash community will die. For now, we have the king, we will be stronger than ever

[@qcbelzebuth7083]

[@TheGreshproductions]

M2K may be known for abusing ledge but at the end there on his last stock you could really see M2K using his time to think and cool down which helped him to make that comeback both waiting on the angel platform and on the ledge while he was at 90% Take your time.

It's funny, Jason was in the exact same position as Genesis. He bet it all on that dair which was his undoing against Trif and thanks to him taking this risk and it paying off, he'd go on to beat his next opponent (and uh, let's just say that him beating this person is a tall order) Dude can clutch it out when he needs to and I hope it gives him more confidence in the future
