Even though we've been busy with the ranking, we still wanted to get this recap out for y'all. Hope you liked it :)

[@theblomster1354]

Love this style of content, used to thoroughly enjoy the PandaStats channel before everything went down, this is filling that gap quite nicely.

[@tendo_no_entiendo]

The combined duo Acola AND Tweek have the same major win count as Mkleo. And some people have the audacity to question his goat status.

[@dingo9696]

Acola has been playing for a third of the time as leo has. At the rate hes going, he will surpass leo. This is also in a more competitive period in ults history.

[@tendo_no_entiendo]

@@dingo9696 cool, when he doubles up his numbers in 3 more years it'll be a conversation to have. He started playing professionally 2 years into the game's life and has half as many majors as Leo. assuming the game lasts 3 more years and he keeps up this pace, he will certainly pass him.

[@dingo9696]

@@tendo_no_entiendo 2 years into the games life? You dumb? Ult released in 2018 and acolas first major was mid 2022

[@chefgoldblum1450]

[@BryGuyJohn]

Lol I love Leo and Tweek, but Spargo is the one actually keeping the toxic characters at bay in bracket. He’s the one we call when the Steves show up.

[@tiposauce6417]

Spargo took out acola, sonix, and Miya at WTT. Sadly he’s with faze clan instead of luminosity so ig they preferred to make videos on their members

[@BryGuyJohn]

@@tiposauce6417 yeah I get it. It’s just hard to take it seriously when you see how bad Tweek almost always does against Steve.

[@dingo9696]

Spargo has attended 5 supermajors since the 2023 mid year ranking, and hes only made it to grand finals once. If hes saving the game, hes not doing great atm.

[@BryGuyJohn]

@@dingo9696 “saving the game” doesn’t mean winning. It means beating the degenerate character mains so we don’t have to watch them win everything. If he knocks someone like an Acola out of bracket and then loses he’s already done his job.

[@dingo9696]

@@BryGuyJohn all of thise supermajors that he didnt win were won by those “degenerate” characters dummy. The only exception being tweek at lmbm.

Tweek Leo is the best era of smash ultimate for me, but feels like they be milking the content out of this set in top 8. Lets calm down and have a couple more encounters this year before making this kind of statement.

[@chefgoldblum1450]

Because of restreaming. Try to think a bit before your next reply kiddo.

[@GodMode714]

What’s with the Steve ban? Seems kind of harsh to Acola. Acola maybe wins that major vs Tweek. Why make a rule that screws over one of the best players in the world, and makes it so he won’t play your tourney? It just makes your tournament less legitimate.

[@philbusiness52]

You’re kidding right? Maybe because he’s “#1” SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF STEVE. Maybe that’s the reason…. Holy smokes…. Well, I found a Steve player guys.

[@chefgoldblum1450]

Because we want to actually enjoy the game. No Steve = fun tournament. Not that difficult to understand bud.

[@GodMode714]

I’m a K Rool main but I think anyone can use Steve. Tweek or Mkleo are allowed to use Steve too you know. He’s not that broken.

[@GodMode714]
