@@TheNeonLynx nah it's only needed for ronald. as we could see with goku, one direction is only neccesary for him, as even ultra instinct can't stop the slam. ronald, i'm not even sure if they can beat the slam either, but if they can, that'd be when 4 directional thwomp, the pinnacle of URGH would need to be unleashed.

Thwomp was a bad matchup for Goku. How can you predict the movements of an enemy with no brainpower? Goku SDd three whole times and Thwomp probably thought “where’d he go?”

[@boredmagala5701]

The fact the CPU’s couldn’t deal with thwomp going up and down it hilarious

[@TheLegendsmith]

Alpha should have seen it coming. Thwomp violates the game with the "set my position above the enemy" button. It's a completely free recovery.

[@UnlimitedRun]

​@@TheLegendsmithI wouldn't say _completely_ free. 7:25 shows Charlie Brown making Thwomp actually lose a stock, by being offstage while Thwomp attacks, then air dodging back onto the stage. Come to think of it, was that the only time Thwomp lost a stock???

[@nopeafy23]

@@UnlimitedRunyou do realize you basically just said the only way the opponent wins is if thwomp kills himself (literally in game) three times

[@UnlimitedRun]

​@@nopeafy23 Considering that move is Thwomp's only way to attack it seems, he _has_ to risk his opponent going off-stage to bait a SD, otherwise he only draws at best due to never attacking. Thwomp simply didn't get counter-picked with a floaty character that can stay off-stage for awhile, which'll make attacking a suicide play.

[@nopeafy23]

@@UnlimitedRun you say that like were watching real people play the characters and not ai programming. Also the ai is(generally) programed to run at and attack the opponent why would you assume that they would just randomly start ledge camping?
