This is a really tough matchup for Sephiroth. His medium-range options (where Sephiroth lives) are all outranged by Min Min and she wins the up close battle as well.

[@EPE444]

All the recent experience Proto collected against KEN's Seth also didnt help Ned.

[@hahathatsgreat2]

Min Min just kinda wrecks swordies.

[@matchasgotcha]

6:21 Absolutely insane edgeguard from Proto

[@Fandresvc]

Also one thing the commentators didn't realize and very smart by proto: That move isn't that strong most of the time. It's just that the dragon arm (only the one she can't change) gets powered up after a throw for a few seconds. This affects all attacks it does, including its tilts, smashes, its nair and its tether punch. It's strong enough that tether punch which is usually weak becomes a good kill option off the top. Proto knew it was worth the risk since he had just thrown sephiroth and the arm was powered up.

@@Fandresvc Charged Dragon is almost as powerful as mega watt. I love it.

[@ihaveseenthings0]

I like how Min Min has better ranged options, AND better close ranged options

[@nathanlevesque7812]

And worse mobility, worse recovery, no counter or projectile

[@ronski4059]

Has a reflector and arms are basically projectiles lol

[@Symphoniics]

I was really hoping for some dope Sephiroth gameplay from Ned but Proto’s Min Min is just so oppressive lol

[@supriimacy_7056]

Min min is very difficult for sephdog. I wasn't expecting too much considering proto is her pilot.

[@MrTNT49]

Dude. What Ned did there WAS dope. Last game proto 0 to death'd him and Ned still brought it back to even. His neutral game was insane. In the end he just couldn't keep up with Proto's ridiculous punish game, but I don't think that's much of a shame against the player who beat Leo. Twice.

[@Symphoniics]

@@MrTNT49 My comment was not to disparage Ned’s excellent play here. Ned did very well, especially considering the fact that, as you said, Proto beat Leo twice this tourney. By dope, I meant like super hype Seph advantage state

[@danmarriage2215]

Ned is so good. His Sephiroth is so aggresive, fast and clean. But props to proto, guy is insane at this game

[@fupalover]

Minmin borderline top tier.

Mid level pro.. Accurate

He gets multiple top 8s.

[@voyt8tele363]

@@fupalover it's sad but ned is known as the guy who never get top 8 but always get around the 17th-9th area I even heard people using him as a expression like "yeah this dude is a ned player" to talk about people who never get top 8 lmao

@@voyt8tele363 He got top 8 at ignition, combo breaker, Levelup arena.

Sephiroth character type doesnt make any sense. He is too light and smash 4 Frame data. Ned done his Best. Worst dlc Charakter

[@timjim7163]

Sephiroth has won a major (bobc4) That’s more than banjo or hero can say

[@MuNiqab]

@@timjim7163 it wasnt Solo seph. He use Sonic too only for top 8 the seph Play came in

[@timjim7163]

@@MuNiqab top 8 is where it really matters tho, switching characters to cover mus is something a lot of players do these days Leo uses Corrin/Byleth/Aegis, Sparg0 has used Cloud/Aegis, and those are good characters In any case, Sephiroth winning all of top 8 is still more than what over half of the characters can say, and as far DLC, Banjo and Hero haven’t done it either

[@supersmeshbroz8570]

Just bad matchup tbh. Sephiroth does great against a lot of characters especially offline he’s much better. But he has bad frame data and doesn’t play well up close, where min min has twice his range, faster moves and even if her moves aren’t the fastest for the range they have it’s crazy. That’s why proto struggled alot against to win MKs Rob. He was smothering proto
