fknsilver (Samus) vs n0ne (Captain Falcon) - Melee Singles Pools - The Big House 11

[@kingj521]

Silver did great. hope he stays with Samus He was doing stuff i havent seen other Samus players do

[@AfterAttackTV]

ive been interacting with him at GA events going back to 2018, i dont think he plans to switch mains any time soon!

[@BudewIsOwnage]

Played with Silver back in like 2018, he was an absolute homie and mad skilled. Good to see him on the verge of making big waves here!

[@DubYuhGChoppa]

It's really nice to see an aggressive Samus player. I still think this character could be one of the next to get a huge boost with the right player(s)

[@peter42466]

I’d say the next in line they’ve been kept around mid tier for too long (also kind of the case for icies I think slug just needs to figure out some of the demons mu) after that who knows pika still has a load of untapped potential the dk renaissance is still going strong we might just get one dk player to rule them all Luigi is kinda due Puff honestly might be due (though h box seems to be reforging that goal) young link I think has potential along with link but really who knows

[@DubYuhGChoppa]

@peter42466 It seems like a lot of these characters have something in common, which is the fact that they have only been seen at their full potential a few times throughout Melee history. Hbox to Jiggs, Junebug to DK, Axe to Pika, we've also seen top players show potential with those characters, like Armada to Yink (although that was match-up specific) and Plup to Luigi. So what I'm saying is that I definitely agree and I really think these characters follow a common trend where their potential *has* been show a few times, but they haven't been fully developed the way top tier characters have.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

Actually common.

[@Andrew-w2q2m]

This is a sign hes the chosen Samus player

[@MorphBall1]

Silver was good at anti-airing n0ne but as soon as n0ne played more patiently and punished the constant anti-air attempts it all fell apart. Also, silver was overcomplicating edgeguarding a lot. n0ne got back a lot in situations where he shouldn't be able to, just because silver was unnecessarely dancing and jumping around the edge instead of just fsmashing or uptilting or taking ledge.

[@djspflytnt]

silver does that. he’s sort of the none of samus players

[@fknsilver]

got nervous lol

[@MorphBall1]

@@fknsilver Still great play. I loved the use of fair, I always thought that move was super underrated vs falcon.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

100%. Edgeguard is where fkn flunked. Could have reverse the steam at 8:09 for exemple. Not an easy edgeguard but better players would have 100% take it. This kind of cheesing d-smashes are part of Samusn' metagame… Plup did d-smash > b-air > chargeshot many times.

[@brianuhler13]

Most entertaining Ultimate set I’ve ever seen

[@dylanskrow1669]

"Every frame a painting, every stock a knee" what a banger quote

[@SpiritAnimalGO]

I think I knew Silver like 10 years ago?? Pretty sure we used to hangout and play Smash at his place. Thats crazyyyy.

[@tsurenami]

The difference between n0ne in the first 2 games versus how he plays in the latter 3 games is insane. Not just this set either, he just seems to power up (more than other players) after getting a good read on the other players habits. I'm a falcon main though so def biased

[@beefstroganoff3297]

As someone who almost never plays falcon I completely agree. I remember there being so many times in his streams were half way through a game he would just start calling out loud everything his opponent was about to do. It honestly feels like a nen ability or something

[@andrewwebb624]

Makes sense none is such a read based player if he's missing em he's losing if he's hitting them he's winning

[@sinfinite7516]

Yo this guy’s Samus is sickkkkkk

[@TheTechnopider]

fkn is my samus goat. He inspires me to keep playing samus aggressively. Yall will be seeing a lot more of him over the years.

[@christophermolitor4554]

Toph having the most Scar and Toph moment with that frenetic thing but now he's the Scar.

[@TheBeggies95]

Saw this scenario so often. Better player adapts better but it’s moreso that the “lesser” player starts to play shaky on the verge of the upset. I was rooting for Silver! Amazing showing nonetheless! Samus gang!

@@fernandovillagomez6382 Seems more like n0ne picked up steam and fknsilver couldn't keep up. He had one gameplan and once it didn't work he kind of fell apart.

[@JustAaron94]

Those last 3 games n0ne remembered that Falcon really can just spam aerials at a certain spacing and bully Samus. Super frustrating :/

Creative play by the samus. Just needs to work out some things in his game plan but awesome showing

[@lumberjackwolfonso163]

Did Ultimate get a new patch or something?

[@tessademsky1156]

Hooly fuck, goat samus eventually though? what do yall think

[@yolobuttrill]

He seems to be as technical as plup (ai from ledge, wave bombs) which is promising but he needs to adapt as well as plup to beat ppl like none

[@MorphBall1]

No, he lacks a solid gameplan. The reason he won in the beginning is because of the frantic anti-air playstyle which is very effective against players that aggressively jump around a lot (like n0ne). I doubt he would do as well against S2J and especially Wizzy. I would like to see him in some other MUs though, especially like campy foxes.

[@tessademsky1156]

@@yolobuttrill Yeah I def agree, seems to be a bit more technical than plup even but plups baseline skill & decision making is on another level

I truly believe silver will be the first samus to win a major no clue how he should go about this but I think his path is linked to it

[@Odesence]

silver’s netplay tourneys paying off dividends.

[@Keys60_]

this is definitely ultimate, yup

[@peter42466]

Silver definitely lost some of his punish ability in the later sets and his neutral deteriorated however I still feel he has the most potential of any samus

[@chairwood]

silvers the coolest samus

[@collinleger9546]

I feel like None wins most sets he goes down 2-0 in… hes a whole different falcon the last 3 games

[@ChampionShogo]

This mu is not THAT bad - a silver player on ranked

[@jebril]

Honestly it doesn't but Duck used to say its horrible lol. I think the combo game from Falcon on Samus is brutal.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

I would synthetize it as following : Falcon destroys Samus Samus can destroy Falcon because of his bad recovery and his fastfaller condition makes him very comboable. Falcon definitely wins the MU especially if the Falcon plays patient but Samus clearly isn't hand tied. She'll destroy him as soon as he's offstage or gets a d-tilt etc

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

You do well talking about a dream because you guys are dreaming. Samus isn't an agressive character just for obvious reasons you irrational people keep ignoring. Her pressure is whack af while she has great defense (lives long, heavy, cc-d-smash, up-b OOS etc). You guys just want Samus to be Fox. That can't happen. Proof is he got reverse 3-0'd the moment N0ne figure it out.
