LACS Rivals GRAND FINALS - CakeAssault (Kragg) Vs. ZeeBee (Kragg) Rivals of Aether 2 - RoA2

[@Smitteys86]

it's very cool to see that after many many years of cakeassault being Him at a relatively obscure game, now tons of people are seeing him cook on its far more popular sequel and the consensus is that he is still unquestionably That Guy

[@JoeJoe0o]

His parry game on point

[@PocketMaewing]

He’s lucky marlon didn’t attend lacs!!

[@LosEspookys]

he was a tester so he had an advantage

[@Smitteys86]

@ ok? he also played the first game for ages, shouldn't that count more than any testing time with this one? he knows the matchups/counterplay like the back of his hand. if that's an "unfair advantage" in your book, then i don't wanna read your book

[@idontlikethat6804]

​@@Smitteys86Who are you quoting "unfair advantage" from? Did somebody delete a comment or you just don't read at all? If you are addressing the "advantage" comment then yes if he had more play time then others at the moment that is considered an advantage. People downplaying his current results because of this "advantage" have a valid argument. People stating he was "him" in ROA 1 is also valid. K? K? KKKKK?

[@frogshopkeeper4683]

Guys I don’t think Cake Assault is playing kragg ngl

[@higdoooo]

Cake is insane at this game

[@MiaoNya]

Kragg v Kragg is looking like an 8-2 Matchup, Kragg favored ngl

[@ItsAK9]

Cake is such a good player even outside of this game. He actually pushes advantage state well and mixes up his movement to genuinely play good ass footsies. I really can't wait for other people to catch up so that more sets can be interesting. Fleet is insane, but other characters can be just as if not more oppressive. Just needs more time~

[@JoeJoe0o]

He's gonna run into an absolutely cracked Loxodont mark my words

[@gigantomastiaCuddler]

Fleet is broken lmao

[@CasualScrub]

So glad the two rivals 1 veterans made grands

[@BinxyBrown]

Cake is amazing, he also has a year or more play time than anyone else. With that combination i think these results are expected. I think it will be really interesting to see if people can catch up anytime soon

[@henrycardona2940]

I miss FullStream too 😢

[@omaraguero]

sadly Marlon didnt attend LACS, it would be amazing:(

[@666blaziken]

He's been banned for 2 months, he will be back for Genesis x2

[@HollowPass]

Why

[@666blaziken]

@@HollowPass basically there were some sexual harassment allegations that were made and he said he made some mistakes. It was vague, but at least it isn't a big ban, it's probably just something so the smash officials don't look like they're playing favorites.

[@bubrub23]

Cake is so dominant

[@NvrLucky43]

zeebee after the game to cake assault, so like... how do I win?

[@Massamom]

Cake being the Rivals 2 GOAT feels right. I do look forward to how things develop as other players get better and more characters are introduced.

[@Rockleefan3]

I love it when one player is much better than the rest. Such competitive states are my favorites. Not just in esports but also in non team real sports. The „will he/she be dethroned“-narrative is 👌

[@RhysExcel]

Absolutely 2 platform fighter players in the GF and I love it

I want to know what are the matches cake it’s scare off

[@rafjeevarafjeeva5952]

I don't think Fleet is as broken as people seems to think, Cakeassault is juste THAT good, it was the same in rivals 1, nobody ever though Forsburn was the best in the game, cakeassault was juste built different.

[@Patukah1879]

I know this matchup mu is bad for kragg but cake makes it look UNWINNABLE, dudes too good

[@luvsik7]

Yeah it’s 2 fleets and 2 kraggs, 2 rannos, 1 maypul, and 1 clairen. Not a bad distribution at all

[@scriggle3564]

This is such a bad mu for kragg

[@wherlz3052]

I’m not downplaying Cake’s skill and composure in Rivals, but I’d be really curious if he could be as dominate with another character. Fleet just seems too good. I think a nerf is needed for fleet

[@williamw8590]

He dominated with the worst char in the game in R1

[@MailmanSSB]

First time?

[@dingus3017]

Cake is just a really good player. He makes fleet look dummy busted

[@condor6327]

You gotta go back and watch Rivals 1 tournaments to learn the lore here

[@Kapow59]

Fleet was built to play Rivals 2, every other character is not 😬

[@readyplayerthree3]

I can kinda see that. Kinda might be a bit of Cakeassault being crazy too.

[@condor6327]

Don't get it twisted; Fleet is a great character, but she is being carried by Cakeassault right now. He's just THAT good

[@Kapow59]

​​@@readyplayerthree3I think Cake is just good at showing off how cracked a character is, the fact that Fleet can go so far offstage and do so much messed up stuff is just showcased by an amazing player Sorry, I mean what are you talking about, Cake was clearly playing Kragg here

[@Kahmie]

Fleet was built to beat the crap out of kragg. Clairen, Maypul and Orcane have great matchups with fleet. Cake is also just the best and most experienced in-person player. If rongunshu gets more comfortable at in-persons, and if Marlon starts going, and if penguin gets Absa, cake will have better competition.

[@scriggle3564]

Kragg is awful against fleet

[@KingOfAquilonia]

Fleet just needs to be nerfed. Character is way too broken and safe

[@spaghetti_Steven]

nah we gotta buff kragg :)

[@ZwigZwaggums]

They need to do what most successful fighters do and balance from the highest level down. I wonder if cake could put out these results with any character - if not, there is the answer to nerf fleet. But I do find any match with fleet extremely boring to watch since they have so many resources , disjoints, and live just as long as ox

[@ellie8272]

Yes, but also Cake really is just that good

[@hades8072]

@@ZwigZwaggumsin rivals 1 he did the same thing with forsburn he's just that good. Overall fleet doesn't perform nearly at the level of kragg or ranno at the top level
