Socials of some players can not be found (players with default nicknames, some Asian players, etc). I am convinced that it's extremely dishonest to tag contacts of few people and not to tag all the rest, so there will be no social links in description.
But I respect the players whose matches I post. Therefore, if you are sure that videos presented "as is" are not acceptable, I will stop posting content with your participation and remove the ones posted earlier.

A game where Y2K happens, magic replaces electricity. Where a haunted bed is fighting a death metal singer who writes love songs. Truly this is the best game ever.

[@sinkvapour6177]

Ashishana really going crazy with the Bed lately. Love to see it

[@GONKINGTON]

A bedman? 3-0? Finally

[@nyokko36]

bedman? and elphelt competing who has the worse s for being punished

[@GONKINGTON]

@nyokko36 I'm not the best at frame data but I think bedman? Has it way worse. Most of his moves on block are negative, and at max range, he can't convert his pokes into combos

[@nyokko36]

@@GONKINGTON thats for sure

[@Maxxisblitz]

If you're going to deflect shield against Bed, it's best to do it using the head bomb. They usually use that as an opportunity to setup another hand explosion to loop you. If you use it on most earlier moves, Bed will usually be using some approach option, and if you manage to time it right, whiff punishing hand explosion is easy.

White Wild Assault Man vs The One True Mix

[@ImaNeedHalf]

Man I hope they buff Elphelt just a lil bit to make her neutral a bit better.

[@htebazile3738]

A few of the DLC characters (most notably Bedman, Baiken, and Testament) seem like they were pretty hastily redesigned upon their introduction to strive. It wonder if, once they’re done with this round of new moves, they’ll add some complexity to those characters. I don’t mean buff them incredibly, just give them some new options to play around with

Baaru was almost about to doenload his opponent. Unfortunately took her too long to realize she had to frametrap Bedman

[@manuelcastellano7959]

Bedman? my beloved

[@bluawesome1583]

I can't tell if this match-up is even or really in Bedman's favor. 😂 I've played this a few times as Elphelt and it feels really hard to get in on Bedman sometimes.

[@GBAer64]

This is surprising for me to hear. I haven’t played since Patch 3.0, but I was expecting the matchup to be harshly in Elphelt’s favor due to Bedman being marked as someone with more committal and overall weaker defensive options. Combine that with Elphelt being the designated rekka character with a focus on pressure and mix-ups. The pieces would’ve naturally fallen together. Hoping someone else can share their insight on this matchup. I can’t really figure out how this matchup ends up more realistically in Bedman’s favor. Not just this set either. There’s a few other videos with these two combating with similar results.

[@bluawesome1583]

@@GBAer64 I don't wanna take my experience to account too seriously since I'm still fairly new myself. But after fighting 3 different Bedman players, it kinda feels tough for me. Haha I mean, I have enough time to understand the game but Bedman is definitely my biggest struggle as Elphelt so far.

[@ImaNeedHalf]

Bedman has better neutral than Elphelt simply put and Elphelt rekka is strong but unless they do it from 5H or 6H it can be 6P’d on reaction. For as much as I think Elphelt is cool she’s pretty weak and needs buffs especially since she has the lowest hp in the game I believe besides Chipp ofc.

[@whogotthesushi3897]

⁠@@GBAer641) u have to understand that these are very high ranked match ups and don’t necessarily reflect the average game matchups 2) the match up is actually in bed mana favor, if u look at global matchups u will actually see that it’s slightly in bedmans favor 3) it probably comes down to who has the better offense, and defense is negligible as both characters have pretty shit defense with elphet taking the edge slightly with her better movement, but bed does have a better jab Bedmans offense is just better, at least without meter, elphet does have a true 50/50 but without meter there is little reward in postion or damage, meaning even if it hits it’s not that bad, and she can’t enter her rekka easily, only level 4 moves is she able to actually rekka into without a gap, if u notice bedman actually 6ps her when she tries to gattle from 2h to rekka. In contrast bedman has way better offense without meter, if he has WA he basically can just get a free error and put elphet in super long high damaging block strings When it comes to projectiles bedman also has the better projectile, with a faster startup and a faster recovery, so she can’t pester her bedman full screen The thing she has which makes this match up difficult for bedman is way better movement, and her grenade is really difficult to deal with as bedman, but if bedman has WA he can just bust straight through this set up

[@whogotthesushi3897]

@@ImaNeedHalfI haven’t played her in a while but elphet does not need buffs, she’s a weak without meter but once she gets it she basically gets a guaranteed damage as she can just convert off her rekkas for absurd reward She’s supposed to be low damage, similar to maila

[@ablockofcheese1337]

I really wish bed install was more versatile. All I ever really see it used for is projectile spam at round end.

[@zurheide5884]

Honestly it's really good for popping right before wallbreak if you can follow up with a special; the head error and fire error are both insane options after the wallbreak cuz they don't get cancelled if the opponent hits you, leaving them with like barely any options to avoid em

[@grum384]

Idk being able to beat invincible reversals by using it after spin then immediately calling it is pretty versatile

[@sinkvapour6177]

They should just make the duration longer otherwise it's fine

[@user-gs8de5fg7t]

Nerf bedman this is crazy op Infinite offense is possible and the 2p distance is very long, so it is impossible to induce a waste

[@Abigail-dv6yn]

You do know that by using faultless defence, you can throw off the corner offence loop right? Ashihana is also extremely skilled at Bedman cause he's been running Bed in tournaments since Xrd.

[@tkomod]

no

​@Abigail-dv6yn yes

Bed is so cool please buff

[@user-gs8de5fg7t]

Oh no bed is op an infinite pressure scam and 2p It's a long distance, so I can't induce you to make a mistake

[@AprilIsTheWorstMonth]

@@user-gs8de5fg7t he is literally bottom tier fym

[@user-gs8de5fg7t]

I'm in heaven, and there's even aura, but you guys can't do it, so don't do that. The reason why it's a op is that there are no two risks of long-distance attacks, and the fast. It's impossible to get out of it due to tension while stiffening it with a guard crash. And I can't even stick anything out between 2hs. If you did this, you know how much that is, right? Do you not know why chaos is op ? That's also the same because it violates the principle

[@user-gs8de5fg7t]

If you're not satisfied with what I'm saying, why don't you do it 10 times? I'm confident that I can beat you both with Elphelt
