Ya'll have shown SO MUCH LOVE. Thank you

keep making bangers please🔥🔥

[@riotv6]

One thing about kola is he actually plays with Emotion. And that emotion is definitely Anger. I feel like that’s what keeps him motivated

[@ShintaSmash]

Definitely. It's hard to quantify how that affects gameplay beyond just Focus I suppose lol

[@Aflay1]

I'll never forget Kola's sets vs Elegant. I've never seen Kola more angry than when he's fighting Luigi And no man exploits anger better than Elegant And no character is better suited to punishing aggressive close combat characters than Luigi And Elegant *still lost.* Kola, *too angry to give a fuck*

[@realbynature3327]

Anger got him to win CEO. But anger only goes so far

Same and here’s hoping he can keep it going

I always thought Kola was getting better this year

[@RED_XLR]

Top 3 here we come, if he's not already there! I'm rooting for him!! He needs to beat Light and Leo in Grand Finals. I need to see it!

[@mauiboimusic4037]

​@@RED_XLR I bet we could even see something crazy like a Spargo win! With big level ups from players like Mr. E in that regard Kola could probably show similar if not better results!

[@danielcoley6662]

I like kola but he's definitely not top 3 yet. He’s got to be a bit more consistent which is hard with Roy

@ShintaSmash you did a good job, but like, random people from CFL region started making-out with in the bleachers section just because their boy won. The furries in the room were so flabbergasted that all the headpieces came off. The group of tekken bros watching in the corner started hoisting their fight sticks above their head and made gorilla noises. It was a magical moment.

[@rodgeers7347]

1:30 that doesn't kill. There was even a video of someone testing it out that that fsmash wouldn't have killed

[@SpartanMK]

I always thought that Roy is mid, for the exact reasons that you clarified in this video. You just have to be really consistent with constant pressure, and I think that one of the reasons its harder with Roy is cause he is also part sword-fighter. Think about it, how many other sword-fighters are there that are also rushdown counterpart? Zero. Meanwhile, Fox for example, brawler archetype, has an easier time with pressure you could say, cause he has dash attack, which is way faster, easier to hit, and leads to almost everything in his kit.

[@ShintaSmash]

For sure agree with this and it just makes Kola's performance all the more impressive imo. Circumventing the weak parts of his character to top players is godlike

[@SpartanMK]

@@ShintaSmash Yeah fr. Yeah also like what I was trying to say, is that there are definitely other characters who have better tools than Roy that allow for an easier time and more consistent way to pressure opponents.
