Anybody complaining about Aklo’s gameplay is effing re tarded. My man is literally gaming out of his mind making no mistakes for extended periods of time and outplaying Jmook (who literally looks like Armada in this set) he is playing at top 5 level in this set. Almost. He begins to play worse at the end but digs deep to win while nervous 🗿 stop hating just look at his damn movement sheesh

[@yusufzrahman4918]

Great play by aklo. Judged his approaches and held a strong neutral for the win!

[@t_._.]

why did they go to fd twice?????

[@noirlavender6409]

Jesus F. Christ, Aklo looking CRISP

[@Gr8saiyaman88]

Crazy shine at the end… at Shine!

[@disaffected_npc]

so glad that neither of the games with SDs in them were defined by them - good stuff :o

[@TrevsTreehouse]

III haaavvee never seen that Sheik recovery on game 1 and I've played Sheik for forever now

[@hmmmmmmmmmm_]

Jmook uncharacteristically running

[@dorohime7001]

This. This is some good fucking Melee. LFG Aklo

[@hanthonypiano]

yeah aklo has some stupid split second decision making skill specifically when it comes to tech. it's like time goes slower for him or something. when he goes aggro it seems very difficult to deal with him ; like leffen he shows just how good fox's tools are. jmook had a tough time coming down and aklo conversely found ways to avoid 0-deaths and counterattack him. aklo played this really well

[@callumcolquhoun8501]

I’ve realised that the term “camping” has actually become a meta psychical one A broad term that means something like this. The camper is of a player lacking integrity and somehow breaking the (unspoken) gentlemen’s agreement to come swinging at full hail mary at each other or something? I know it means something like playing defensively or conservatively but when you just say lame and the clip is someone getting beaten in a game u just look salty.

[@the_alechemist7054]

Who is on commentary? Specifically the guy who sounds kind of like Chillendude lol

[@juniors8745]

that's how you have to play vs sheik running

[@yyhrva5605]

WHAT

[@Knuxsega]

Comment for the algoritihm

[@Jagger02]

LFG Aklo!!

[@3Starinvideot]

Aklo's gameplan was to run away and laser a lot until Jmook takes the bait. Not the coolest strategy but it works so it's a valid one. Ggs, it's still deserved

[@Baconbeater]

Jmook’s intention was to just grab and tech chase, a lot. Not the coolest strategy. However, it didn’t work. Nevertheless, ggs.

[@yu1zy]

There's more to it than that lol

[@gratefulkyle1]

I think that’s a fair observation

[@gratefulkyle1]

@@Baconbeateralso true. But that’s more of a general sheik strategy. That’s using sheiks strengths. Fox is the strongest and most versatile character on the roster. However run and gun certainly works. Also playing defense and reacting generally seems to beat a strong offense

[@TrevsTreehouse]

Sheik nair is frame 3

[@ryan35192]

huh

[@shyhoshark]

lo 5454

[@nathanby5835]

foxes really don’t get half the back lash for camping that other characters do

[@RoninofCrimsonMaple]

Been rooting for Aklo since he beat Drephen at Haxs Nightclub. Lets fucking go.

[@loscookiemonsters1555]

Aklo campy fox style just ruined melee for me I need to watch some mango vids asap

[@TheFBIorange]

Great win for Aklo, distracting 3-person commentary

[@crobeastness]

I thought the commentary was more insightful than most others.

[@crobeastness]

@@robbyz512 indepth is bad?

[@adrianwhitson1035]

Atrocious commentary

[@callumcolquhoun8501]

The commentary is actually pretty good here compared to a lot of vods come on

[@samlee4958]

I dont like this commentary

[@JoostArchives]

That caster's a bit annoying, can't really seem to read when to shut up

[@DarkWhatever91]

Lameklo back at it with the lame gameplay

[@il100374]

Yessir

[@Baconbeater]

As if grabbing and tech chasing over and over isn’t lame gameplay, either?

[@eftorq]

Everytime I read a comment about Aklos gameplay, I look over to the video and he's putting Jmook in the blender

[@jableshoward6572]

no it is not@@Baconbeater
