Personally, I think the winner should have had to fight their Amiibo partner at the end to determine whether they or the toy was the true champion.

Next time Jacob is invited to Smash Summit, he should host a tournament where professional players play 8-player time with items set to high and stage transition on.

I am unironically so envious and so proud of Alpharad. To be able to make your own casual content and have proplayers play it at major tournaments; that must honestly be a dream come true. Casual Smashers would kill to be so fortunate.

So happy to see Alpha bringing more casual play into the mainstream so it isn't as frowning upon in the community Keep doing what you do Alpha!

[@diamondminer5459]

At worst, the love/hate for casual play in the Smash community is a 50/50 split. The majority of people, even competitive players, do not hate casual play. If anything, competitive players are more hated for “taking a kid game too seriously “.

[@NutterButter774]

Whenever Alpharad is given power over others he uses it to make something truly special

[@greateststam1]

This is refreshing to see. On the one hand I get it. We want a fair competitive environment with no camping and keep away tactics ect. But it also gets annoying to see some yourubers and streamers treat casual play so poorly to even go as far as pretending to puke when they come across a casual rule set online. Definitely something I could watch more of.

This is gonna be chaotic and I’m all for it.

Mars jumped on that weakness of Amiibo so quickly lol. He knows casual strats well enough to pick the most overpowered one on spot.

Out of all of the gimmicks the amiibo have, I think my favorite is when Jacob makes his own separate tournament to have pro players fight against $13 toys.

That's honestly so much more interesting to watch than competitive matches. ITEMS, HAZARDS, WEIRD STAGES, WEIRD STUFF, ALL THE FUN

Zelda getting FS Meter right as the final hit made contact was a pretty epic way of finishing the tournament. DURING THE TIMER COUNTDOWN. Only way it could have been better is if it was a star KO ending at 1 second.
