EGLX - Axe (Pikachu) vs Leffen (Fox) - SSBM

[@SaiyanX5]

14:19 M2K ARMADA FUSION BEHIND AXE

[@RareBrink]

looks like a super ugmo version of MacD

[@khaos3696]

axe deserves it, he makes pikachu work to unbelievable levels of mind and tech games that no one expected pikachu to reach

[@fizu2813]

True, Axes Pikachu is like a mini Fox!

[@MilkHS]

"that's why Axe is not top 6 material, too inconsistent" -Leffen

[@sebastianespinoza1254]

in leffen's defense, I don't think he has been getting to proper practice ever since his visa, but I could very much be wrong

[@SaiyanX5]

+Kappa let's be real, leffen probably grinded his nutsac off waiting till he gets back to America

[@KashiwaDaisuke]

+Milk he's not wrong

[@CinderGamer]

Grinding =/= proper practice.

[@inafridge8573]

that doesnt make him a hypocrite. inconsistent means that hes sometimes good enough to beat leffen, as he did here

[@NotaSkeleton]

Fucking legendary set right here.

[@MoFo5869]

+NotaSkeleton agree

[@SlimeySqwid]

the best thing about this is Axe's face vs leffen's face after game 4

[@waffles5306]

+dan iel how can you not like videos but comment?

[@danieldanieldadada]

+Steph Curry You ask the real questions.

[@rinkusan978]

I *love* Westball's reaction when Axe gets the winning ko last set!!!

[@Dankyjrthethird]

T E M P O B O Y S

[@cross25011990]

(for me), Axe is a god.. no-one is as entertaining as AXe damn

[@Subscriptcat676]

SAME

[@Haywire5714]

needs to win a tourny with multiple god's present tho :(

[@smashit2356]

just because he's entertaining doesn't make him a god

[@il100374]

hahahahahahaha okay.

[@andrueis]

RIP LEFFEN

[@JosiahDaAsian]

LMAO how can one play when one has Westballz sitting behind them looking like that lol And such a good match to watch. That second-to-last stock SD scared me watching it live

[@royaltunez19]

This was one of the best sets I've seen in so long. Axe is amazing

[@grant8347]

I was ready to cry last stock lmao

[@windlink4everable]

If Axe was white his name would be Ask

[@sebastiananzures7398]

LMAO

[@Gr33nPhoenix]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thecybersilver]

+Skystar of Riverclan "Them"

[@irontarkuss]

windlink4everable take this big fat w bro 😂😂😂

[@lambmaster27]

And if he was Japanese his name would be Ash

[@johnfritz8927]

I already knew it was a 3-2 before watching and that last stock still stressed me out man.

[@joycezhang3612]

+John Fritz me too. that SD made me so nervous lol

[@RareBrink]

still come back and watch this sometimes. Leffen can't even really say he was playing bad, Axe was just playing like a beast.

[@matthew22073]

7:03 HEY, HOW'S IT GOING, RYAN!?

[@franksred1]

axe's pikachu is sooooooooooooo hype

[@powerpaul1995]

that sd last game though... nerve racking

[@cjkmelee]

leffen trained to be perfect against all the gods and top tiers then gets taken down by demi-god mid tiers

[@Airestotle09]

Westballz has the same fate

[@Rikana]

That was super risky and smart at the same time when Axe turned around to face the edge to shield. I guess Leffen was hoping to shield stab and Axe just hoped to get a uAir setup.

[@bbeeeper3346]

I can’t believe I’d never seen this set until now. How can you not be happy for Axe?

[@eddiestilll]

Axe makes this MU look so much easier than it actually is... huge respect

[@zachbosher6502]

10:49 Westballz like " who tf is yelling about my boy"

[@zachbosher6502]

+Zach Bosher 10:29*

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

these two give me hopes for the new generation of smashers.

[@darkelisk]

pika pika

[@phil_matic]

Can someone explain 1:35 to me?

[@zemc77]

17:47 Notice how both players switch positions: Leffen reclines like "fuck..."; Axe leans forward in expectancy :P

[@polibot1]

7:03 "Hey how's it goin' Ryan?"

[@Cbairdman]

Thank you

[@jaysean9589]

What was that at 1:35 ?

[@grah55]

QA clanking with Shine. Causes a slide if you land on the ground with it. Kind of like Yoshi in the egg but works only in clanks and perfect QA landings where you cancel the landing animation.

[@125conman]

I made the mistake of watching this I'd bed. Damn it I'm going to be up for another hour cause that was so hyped

[@Bowcat777tgc]

I have searched it in the comments but did not found anything. Can someone explain what happened after the up B with pikachu sliding across the whole stage in the first 15 seconds of the first match

[@CommanderCH]

Aren't commentators supposed to be neutral? Whatever, still an amazing match.

[@Astronaughty03]

Everyone roots for low tier characters, let alone root against leffen

[@grah55]

The guy in the red shirt who said he beat axe in doubles was clearly rooting for leffen at the start, but he switched mid game. The Axe effect.

[@jbb4105]

they root for whoever is winning

[@saltynipplefwiend7912]

#freeleffen

[@camotubi]

Is leffen back ? ( Attending to north american tournaments)

[@SuperBeanerStudios]

Still no visa so unfortunately no

[@camotubi]

:(

[@Smitteys86]

The visa issue is still up in the air, so no tournaments for him in the U.S. But, he can still go to Canada, which is where this tournament took place

[@1000g2g3g4g800999]

+Carlos Tuñon There hasn't been anything from going to North America outside of the US. But he still can't go to anything in the US.

[@PigsNLemons]

He can go to the US now, his VISA's been refreshed until at least July. tsm.gg/index.php/news/leffen-visa-update/

[@DrizzyRhyme]

Kinda feel bad for leff :(

[@cellamite]

"Fox's shine is actually a decent tool in this match up" ...........................................dude its everything in everything. 6:23

[@fortetom8868]

Can someone explain what happened at 1:34? I have never seen that before.

[@TurtleKnite]

+Thomas Speranza Not entirely sure but at a guess, Pikachu UpB clanked with Fox Uptilt in the middle of its jump, causing the moves to cancel each other. Pikachu retains his momentum from the move because it canceled before the frames where he stops at the end. Then he decelerates to his Air speed as he flies across the stage.

[@MikulangotYO]

+Thomas Speranza pikachu retains the quick attack momentum after clanking with the up-tilt. gfycat.com/EvenAnxiousIndianpangolin

[@Psytheslasher]

1:35 yooo we quick moon shining

[@MrSnuggl3Bunny]

AXE SO FUCKING HYPE!

[@AAAA-ts2mc]

so what happened at 1:35 how'd he slide so fast like that

[@breakerboy365]

y do these guys say callout instead of read

[@carterstubel8722]

NOBODY WANTED LEFFEN TO WIN

[@vernon121]

Axe so deserved that win. Came back from an SD

[@taylorbee4010]

Pikachu: PIKAAA!! (YOU PLAYING 64 NOW!)

[@Kashaku3]

Holy shit that was a fucking hype set. Axe is the pika god

[@MechaGV]

everyone I see a match with a Canadian commentator they always say "shook" at least a million times

[@pusheenfatness]

Pokémon Stadium isn't counterpick to Pikachu cuz its stadium , #FreeLeffen

[@Phoenix1212121212]

Lol, all you guys keep saying Leffen is so bad and whatever, but when he loses like this you say it's an upset in an effort to try to humiliate him. Make up your minds.

[@Marvin-zf1fi]

Let's go axe

[@bostonband12]

Holy shit, that was awesome.

[@SilverShadow02]

[@MrKurrar]

Awesome job to Axe and GG's to Leffen

[@rsisilen8303]

Is Axe known for getting quick stocks?

[@darkelisk]

Axe will become Thor ( Thunder God )

[@gonzo_o_o]

AXEMUS MAXIMUS

[@serenityrivera7592]

Nobody noticed the commentator calling Axe "Hax" at the start?

[@BFGover9000]

+Crimson Ventra He said Axe.

[@serenityrivera7592]

+BFGover9000 0:15

[@wilyhernandez6825]

I would like to see a pokemon final .

[@vgnerdmaster]

Any time Leffen loses it's a good day

[@sparky6757]

Tfw you revisit Melee for fun and nothing from Smash 4 works And I can't even successfully short hop with Pikachu. I don't know how long his jumpsquat is, but it's apparently too fast for me.

[@SkaillerLPE]

Its actually the shortest in the game at 2 frames. Tied with Pichu, Fox, Samus and a few others.

[@sparky6757]

I managed it extremely inconsistently. How can top level players consistently tap X for only a single frame?

[@SkaillerLPE]

+An Average Pichu 2 Frames actually :P Its really just muscle memory at some point if you do it over and over. Just look at any highly technical Fox/Falco: They also do a lot of (near) frame perfect inputs in quick succession, which obviously is notably harder than simply shorthopping. Practise it and it shouldnt be a problem anymore :-)

[@sparky6757]

Two frames of jumpsquat=one frame to input it and remove your finger/thumb before it becomes a fullhop, at least assuming it works the same way as Smash 4. I much prefer Marth and Young Link to Pikachu, anyway. Aside from preferring sword characters, their jumpsquat is more manageable.

[@Astronaughty03]

9:30 uhhh gangster af?

[@antonchigurh8343]

"I will win evo." Loses to a pikachu

[@stormcutter59]

Yes!

[@foxocommando2728]

HELP MY MOM LEFT ME AT WALMART

[@IWatchAnime92]

I like how everyone thought it was over after Axe's SD(Game 5), then he pulled it off regardless. Good set by both despite Leffen's facial expressions.

[@coachmetro4860]

Axe is the prophet. I hope he wins evo

[@gibaui]

he will not win Evo.He is still Bad as fuck!Just mango has to fight him and he will get 3-0d.Dont think Axe is good.He is Bad as hell.

[@daborshy4089]

Donates that stock and still wins

[@Whistrash]

[@calebrobinson6406]

Damn.

[@DarukaEon]

Yo! What the heck happened at 1:34-ish!? Ha ha ha!

[@MassDynamic]

[@jadonplox]

LETS GO AXE WOOOO

[@tehboxnoob]

Duuuude!

[@swagglikebillyjoel]

11:55 omg

[@aznbullet95]

That SD happens every tournament I swear..why do players do it?

[@mountaindew7553]

+aznbullet95 do you play melee? its a waveland error / regrab error

[@aznbullet95]

I meant why do they play on the edge like that. And I just play melee recreationally, not competitive.

[@furukawanagisa7935]

+aznbullet95 they play on the edge like that to get stocks off your supposed to keep the off stage for a edge guard

[@aznbullet95]

Robert Gonzalez I know what an edge guard is. I meant why do they play on the edge after they take the stock? Resulting in an SD like what just happened here.

[@Aerowind]

They do it for the ledge invincibility while they wait for the other guy's respawn invincibility to go away. It's the safest place to be for a lot of characters, unless you mess up.

[@avocadocommando5215]

And Leffen wants to be the only god? Still need a long way to go buddy.

[@avocadocommando5215]

+Falcon Starblaze In a interview Leffen said that he won't be satisfied unless he's the only good. Obvoisuly he said that in a way to show-off.

[@avocadocommando5215]

+Falcon Starblaze god*

[@AlainReyes]

commentary was so biased but lets face it, we all cheered for axe lol

[@apocalypseap]

+Alain 'Reyes Of course. Pikachu is hype.

[@outseteddy6306]

I don't usually clap 'cus it's weird but this was a super hype match

[@AtmosphericRay]

This caster uses the term 'call out' way too much...
