HOW I PULLED OFF MY COMEBACK VS ONIN (Super Smash Con 2023)

I would like to dedicate this W to Street Fighter 6 and my Iron Man series. As you probably saw, I clutched out an intense game 5 win against Onin, the best Steve player in America, using Zero Suit Samus, the worst character in the game. Here is my analysis and commentary on that fateful set, and more!

[@craz107]

I feel like we gotta stress more that this isn't a good matchup for zss. It's just one of Steve's worst At no point does Zss get to do Zss things, she never gets to be comfortable or confident. It's just that Steve has to actually play a matchup instead of play Steve, and they aren't used to that

[@MasterAbeer101]

Marss was to me personally the highlight of this SSC. Good shit bro you played amazing and you bring a spark very few top players bring when playing this game.

[@adnauseam1432]

Honestly seeing Marss camp Steve is so satisfying.

[@erikallred5525]

I'm glad I'm not a top player. I would opt to go Dabuz mode and play to time on every Steve set. Some characters like ZSS could do it consistently too.

I need to see you thoroughly embarass Light. I mean i watched the set, but I want to watch you watch the set

[@ungravedbones5826]

no shade to onin or any steve but the "top level" steves all have very exploitable habits and its so frustrating to see when people face them and i can see how badly the steves are fucking up but the other player has to respect them with how insane his burst options are and how quickly steve can rack up percent. it amazes me that steve wasnt tested extensively or else none of this would slide

[@Holeinshoo]

This set was so much fun to watch. I love watching Steve get outplayed.

[@capjoker8410]

He may beat onin to prevent him from defending his title, but acola still took it with Steve.

[@timnoskill]

we all love marss and hate steve but lets also give onin some respect. this is his first tourney back and he deals with more unreasonable hate then literally any top player (as a 17 year old)

[@NeutralL12]

steve players are allowed to play their SNK boss character just like spectators are allowed to hate said character pick, nothing against the guy himself tho

[@Tonjit41]

I don't think anyone should care about anything. Just play the game yknow...

[@timnoskill]

@@NeutralL12 for sure, its just that people have made personal attacks against him including death threats just for playing steve, which is just unacceptable for playing a video game character. also dudes still a great player even if he does play steve lol

[@matiasrodriguez1588]

Look at the breakdown and realize how much thought went into beating steve, i bet you 1000 dollars that a onin breakdown video wouldnt even be a quarter of precise or have as much counterplay in mind as this one. The character is extremely broken and the players are rewarded for being scrubs, ban steve go marss.

[@Ethan_Arts]

It’s definitely possible to play for timeout on ps2, just harder because of the layout rather than a stage like kalos for example Ps2 is definitely large enough though

[@afgcinc7206]

Yeah but that sends up all kinds of red flags in my opinion; that a timeout is a necessary strategic consideration against another character in a tourney, and not just thinking about it because you are against Sonix and through constant battling just realized there's only 45s left and you're up...

[@alightened]

@@afgcinc7206yeah, that’s the game. If they don’t like it they can change the rules. Sometimes that’s the best option, even id it’s a lame one

[@Ethan_Arts]

@@afgcinc7206 Im not sure why it would send up 'red flags' because sometimes its just the best option and there shouldn't be anything wrong with that It really just means that you want to win sometimes And theory crafting stuff like this is definitely important because it took so long for people to realize that you can camp steve pretty well

Onin is Carried. Im sure he is a great player but watching him just spam mine cart (which usually works) and get punished time and time again without changing strategies tell you all you need to know about general Steve play.

[@ashnambers]

I remember when Steve first came out I was in Marss twitch chat saying how when Steve develops hes goign to be a huge issue. Marss wasn't 100% on board but was the only other creator that responded with "I can see him being an issue with the blocks but IDK right now [...] Leaning toward he will". IDK how no one else saw what Steve was when he first came out lol

[@LoliPeeSlurper]

That's why he dodged big nerf when patches still exist

Marss has been kinda real on Steve and the amount of advantage he has for a while now, but it always helps to get a bit of breakdown again of it. Unfortunately the camping (as well as the Dabuz style) is almost a requirement to have a chance to win, and that should tell anybody objective that changes for the good of the game need to be made more broadly. EDIT: Also fair to say that Marss wasn't the only one a bit rusty, Onin had come off of a break I hear as well.
