Zain vs KoDoRiN - Singles Pools: Group B - Smash Summit 12 | Marth vs Marth

[@danielbojkovski723]

The year is 202X, everyone chooses Marth. Every game devolves into one long marth edgeguard where one person walltechs the downtilt 200 times in a row untill the one person gives up or the time runs out.

[@404Dannyboy]

Kodorin has improved so quickly. It is like watching Zain rise up through the ranks all over again.

[@brenq3852]

But then 3 times as fast

[@BeazerProductions]

@@brenq3852 Who is Kodorin’s biggest win so far? SFAT? I’m excited to see how high he can climb.

[@brenq3852]

@@BeazerProductions i think SFAT yea

[@omereissa5435]

@@BeazerProductions IBDW - beat him at Mainstage

[@brenq3852]

This set is the craziest thing I’ve seen in a while Kodorin went nuts this whole set and Zain had to activate his god mode to beat him

[@nathanmadox3364]

The saddest part of the video is where they cut to the close ups after game 4. Kodorins hands are shaking, he can barley keep the water in his cup, and is taking deep breaths preparing for what could have been his biggest win to date. Zain on the other hand was calm and just looked a bit annoyed. It's the difference between a champ and an up-and-comer. Kodorin saw the trophy, Zain just wanted the bye round.

[@justaguy32112]

Frame perfect explanation of the reality of that situation

[@FlamingZelda3]

Kodorin is trying to muster his last bit of courage for the biggest set of his life so far, and Zain is annoyed there's a fly in his soup.

[@eftorq]

Zain was in the same mindset not too many years ago. It’s insane how numb you get to these pressure situations. Once Kodorin had some of these moments he will start to TAS game 5 like he did this game 4. The level this game is played on is so sick

[@B463L]

I've wondered if this is part of why guys like Cody struggle to take sets off of the top 2 (of which he is absolutely capable, but simply hasn't), or part of why so many talented players couldn't take a set off of Armada.

[@ianalvarez7156]

@@B463L not anymore bb

[@SSB_Seal]

13:25 was so fucking insane, both players had just perfect execution and reactions for a whole 10 seconds, not to mention in a last stock situation too

[@hotshot15271]

It gave me chills just watching, this is top level melee in such an awesomely wacky way

[@ZubairAhmed-bu1oo]

the tech window is actually pretty big. So if you just practice it for 1 day it's pretty easy to hit, especially on a stage like FD. It's just a timing you need to memorize.

[@SSB_Seal]

@@ZubairAhmed-bu1oo Yeah it's a 20 frame window you can "buffer" by pressing while you do the up b, and we've seen similar repeated tech situations before (Ryan Ford vs M2K comes to mind). The main thing that was impressive to me was that they both kept it going despite Zain employing several timing mixups like fastfalls and a techwalljump bair. I may have overplayed it a bit in my original comment but it was definitely a cool moment imo

[@adamquenano8563]

The Best Set of today let’s hope Kodorin didn’t use up all his energy in this set.

[@godiegolem]

Melee is sick, and for that reason it may never die.

[@patoa3481]

This set reminded me of the time when Zain played Rishi at Big House I think. Such a nailbiter

[@peepis9031]

Remember Summit 11 when Scar said Plup would go on to play Zain in winner semi-finals and then The Cheat said "Or KoDoRin" and everybody laughed? KoDoRin took that personally

[@jchud13]

Lol kodorin had the biggest smile on his face when he got down aired for the loss on FD he was like “that was incredible this dude is sick at marth lol”

[@jbb4105]

zains actually jus the coldest at this game as a member of the nation i have to respect it

@@harryhong7293 Yea that aggravates me a lot when I play marths, I'm also a marth.

He was still super impressive in this set

[@harryhong7293]

@@319ut4yr for sure, zain just managed to edge it out and show his top player potential just a little better than kodorin. it's a style that works, but I feel like zains play ends up being better just from how he has smoothed it out in comparison
