It feels like Fatality is going against a bunch of gym leaders

[@ShougiSho]

Too bad he already went against the champion mkleo ;-;

Him against void was awesome to watch

[@Diispaceyone]

I didn’t think ravenking was gonna win any matches the way it was going 😂

[@dallasdawg33]

I’ve done well at some locals with my Ike and I’ve taken games off of several top players in sub game type shit (obviously still not great but I’m decent for a normie) and I’ve taken like 5 total stocks off fatality in the 10 times I’ve played him in sub games. Dude just eats Ike alive

[@johannesemiya4379]

Even if ike is combo food for Falcon i can't believe that ravenking got bodied so hard.

[@heroofthewest]

Right? I think he missed several opportunities to deny Fatality's edgeguarding or abuse Ike's range.

These battle of the buffs never disappoint as a vid

[@tylertanner5853]

I think the match up is even too. Ravenking doesn't seem like he knows the match up at all and was falling for really normal falcon things. Match up experience difference i think

[@danielnguyen772]

Well i do play falcon and i do feel like falcon wins +1. We make Ike's off stage a living hell and our combos are much more consistent on him regardless of di, as well as having better approach options and frame data up close.

[@jasonkonold6780]

appleyard166 A long time ago Ravenking got clipped at a major by Nick C I think. Yeet smash type of game.

[@infernious5491]

These Battle of the Buffs sets have been a lot of fun to watch. Glad to see more characters in action.

[@Tazz9001]

These ftts and bo5s are becoming my favorite part of the day

[@Jknight416]

It seems that the most defining factor of this MU comes down to each character's ability to edge guard each other. The fact that Falcon can simply exploit Ike's recovery options and Ike can't really afford to go offstage to edgeguard Falcon without the risk of getting reverse edgeguarded by Falcon makes this a winning MU for Falcon.

[@gildrax69]

[@ramen2032]

Id say its mostly fatality being a better player, raven was making a bunch of spotty decisions that fatality took advantage of...plus ike has never really been known to be an edgeguarder, his game plan never depended on it

[@brianfarmer7449]

@@ramen2032 Ike can edgeguard now.

[@kaokano]

@@ramen2032 ya, I saw a lot of moments where is Ravenking made a different decision or had a better follow up, entire games would have gone differently. Also I think in theory, Ike's tools would still lead to him being a much better edge trapper than edge guarder, but I'm far from an authority on the matter. Also worth noting, Fatality was playing super well.

[@Pslamist]

Hopefully we get to see him go against a good Roy with the fresh buffs.

[@Bloom_Oz74]

Roy unfortunately didn't get buffed so he probably wont

[@finge3786]

A skilled Roy can beat any buffed captain falcon

[@krosshair450]

Aside from his incredibly oppressive advantage state, I’d have to say that Fatality’s strongest trait is the fact that his ability to recover is second to none, especially with a character as easily edgeguardable as Falcon

[@Creepo_J]

These matches with all these people, testing the all new buffed Capitán Falcon is so freaking dope man!

[@carlos41519]

Who else thinks that fatality should do a series where he plays against the "best" player for every character in a ft10 format? Maybe after he plays against everyone he can do a runback series where he fights everyone again. This can show how to play certain matchups as falcon or how to deal with falcon. I just want to see him play more captain falcon.

[@envan7865]

I mean he's already sorta done that with VoiD and Larry, so yeah that'll be awesome. I'd love to see him fight Cosmos, Marss and Light

[@cullenhutchison6528]

As an Ike player, I feel this matchup is still even, but both characters blow each other up even harder now, so it's very volatile.

[@tinytoasters3657]

Your smash practice is inspiring me to do the same thing. Playing against players that are near or above my level seriously helps in improving all aspects in my game, like execution, neutral, and adaptability. Keep grinding Fatality! Here’s to top 10 PGR 👊🏽

[@kaymakesthings]

Staling reduces damage AND knockback right? The nair staling for Ike is the most meta thing I've ever seen to combat the buffed knockback-- and it just makes confirms easier. Damn.

[@Ragnellrok]

Also, Nair sends higher making his Nair ladders on platforms kill earlier 🗿

[@dominickseverino9450]

staling also reduces hitstun tho, so the confirms become alot harder and sometimes just stop being true

[@B10401]

Dominick Severino whoa really? I never put two and two together about staling. That would explain some things.

[@SoulCyclone12]

I was watching a bunch of Fatality's Falcon and I just thought what if Falcon's neutral B, falcon punch also shoots the fire falcon as a projectile after doing it, that would be nice and kinda sick.

[@B10401]

It could be like byleth’s neutral b how you can release it, or wait for the longer charge which would have a longer hit box.

[@freshjets]

Hey may be the king of ravens, but Fatality is the king of falcons

[@justinfocusmedia]

There is a huge confirm he isn't using at ledge... that downtilt followed by up b around 105 should constantly kill falcon... Nair does the same at slightly higher... but he honestly never used up b to get some easy kills from griff overshooting and ending up on stage.

[@XXXPEACEXXX7]

all these ft10 sessions are making fatality way too powerful

[@k.u.5798]

Hot take: Ike was nerfed overall. Proof is at 20:20 .... Ike losing the ability to kill off interactions like that matters way more than the gimmick buffs he got.

[@atem9170]

The good Ike's got buffed and the braindead elite smash Ike's got nerfed.

[@luckyboiinthenow5732]

Nah man he's has more kill confirms. down tilt kill confirms (you can down tilt out of parry. You of course couldn't that with Nair.), up B kills, and against alot of characters Fair of the ledge is instant edge guard without dying. Fairs nasty angle insures the kill.

[@williamle1884]

Something i noticed was that ravenking was sticking with the "nair unga bunga" throughout the entire ft10, and didn't bother to try better utilizing his up b as an oos or as a jump read, or utilizing his dtilt at all at bair kill percents.

[@HarvestMasterJack]

I think saying overall nerfed is pushing it, because the Aether buff, especially the part where it doesn't clank anymore, improved his defensive play significantly where he previously had no real options in shield, but his Dtilt combos are definitely a lot less reliable than his old Nair fishing due to Dtilt's rather low hitstun, and are a lot harder to land against fast opponents and zoners. At the very least I'd like his Dtilt to true combo into upwards kills if it's going to be rather short and laggy for a sword Dtilt.

[@op-physics]

@@HarvestMasterJack It does. Dtilt uair is true, but tight. however its also a frametrap since if you airdodge Ike can punish with dsmash.
