GOML X LOSERS FINALS - Soonsay (Fox) Vs. Zain (Marth) Smash Melee - SSBM

[@HawkSK]

that last zain combo was SCHNASTYY

[@ainoyuyunomi]

zain is the nastiest marth. very scary tbh even with that first combo

[@LCDRformat]

THE FIRST ONE WAS DIRTY BOY

[@mandalorianhunter1]

Zain bringing out his spacie combos will always be chefs kiss

[@rodgeers7347]

Zain fr feel like "that one technical player with the craziest combos." And when you start watching smash you're thinking, "why doesn't that work in a tournament?" This is that guy

[@jordangidley1606]

Umm…. Dair, edge cancel into up air, weak upsmash, to up-b on missed tech??? My mouth was wide open on that last combo wtf

[@jongyon7192p]

i slow down that slowdown, and I still can't comprehend it. He's so lightning fast!

[@psidebsmash]

In the first minute Vish was like can you guys shut the fuck up and talk about the game in the nicest way possible

[@hecticmojo4532]

Matt Damon has gotten really good at melee

[@savaget2058]

Soonsay been on a little run lately, didn't he beat Cody at one of the last majors?

[@ste_e_p]

Yeah, he's beaten Schwab a couple times.

[@dontcaremate]

beat him at BOBC and went game 5 last stock at pats house (reverse 3-0 to cody)

[@ste_e_p]

@@dontcaremate @savaget2058 I thought he'd beaten Schwab more than that, but I was thinking of Leffen. Fox-Ditto-Master Soonsay has had two sets against Leffen and won both 3-1.

[@Valdivia9494]

That final combo was a blink holy moly

[@Cuix]

Soonsay doesn't blink

[@kaitudhope9122]

zain played absolutely out of his mind here. good stuff to soonsay though putting up a fight.

[@Valdivia9494]

Soonsay was awesome here, which helps Zain look even cooler

[@tokisuno]

moky didn't take a game off zain. mango didn't take a game off zain. SOONSAY took a game off zain. what a run.

[@urallnoobs8943]

zain ran through a bracket full of fox corpses and came out with a combo video damnnnnnnn

[@Homeboy8227]

Zain's innovation is one of the best things to ever exist in the history of melee

[@ImHUNGREH]

Zain is unbelievable...

[@loganbennett5452]

Does anyone else feel like zain was #1 last year even with the firet to ten? Look at what zain has done so far this year compared to cody

[@treycuret]

They each had a case for #1, hence the ft10. Keep in mind that a month ago Cody went sicko mode and gave the Smash community clinical depression and threw them into a fit for a month over z jump. Both look untouchable a scary amount of time.

[@loganbennett5452]

@@treycuret I under why they did the first to ten but I don't think that is a good metric to determine who the best player for a year was, I understand that they were essentially forced into it. But I watched every major last year and zain looked much more consistent and dominant in his play

[@loganbennett5452]

@@treycuret I think Cody has a higher peak than zain but he isn't always playing at the level and idk how sustainable that is in a tournament setting in general

[@Dlord1PlayStation]

​@@loganbennett5452They weren't forced into it. They both agreed on it when they could have just went to another tournament in the year (I'm sure other top players would join them if they did this). They thought nobody else had a realistic chance of being #1, so this was their agreed way of settling it.

[@loganbennett5452]

@@Dlord1PlayStation no shit Sherlock that doesn't change the fact that it isn't a good measure of who was better in the year

[@HitoriSanzo]

I don't understand the yoshistory counterpick for marth, seems kinda counter productive, Marth can cover 30% of the stage at a time or more, and getting stuck on a platform is a nightmare lmao -might as well pick fd while you're at it

[@Valdivia9494]

Mango once said that Marth weakness is aggression, being in such a small stage helps with that. The thing is, most Marths aren't as insanely fast as Zain.
