[@mattf5935]

@@robinnachtigalThank Sakurai. She was an in your face scrapper who they nerfed to make it so the only way she can succeed is by keeping you at the midrange. If she lets you get close, she loses. So it becomes lots of zairs and other safe moves outside of your burst range because the risk reward prevents even the worlds best ZSS who has a reputation for aggression from playing her aggressively.

[@beckerzineo]

​@@Animaniax3 Cloud is so frustrating to play, you have to play perfect and never get too close to him otherwise he just mashes and wins every time with his busted hitboxes. Also his specials are annoying, side B has deceptively long range and you have to shield for like 3 full seconds, Up B kills at like 80%, it's one of the worst matchups for ZSS I think

[@sethlee17]

12:44 was insaneee

[@angeldust2614]

Genuine question since they were talking about counterpicking a character at the beginning. Is there a limit to how any characters you can play in one match? Obviously like if it’s a bo3 or bo5 you have at most 3-5 games but are you stuck to 1-3 characters or no? Same for a grand finals reset, can you change characters all 10 games???

[@Bieks1]

yes you can play 10 characters but at the top level it's incredibly unlikely that someone will have 10 characters in their pockets that they play well enough to beat another top player with that's playing their main.

[@ikaros110]

​@@Bieks1 exactly. These players are so good with their chars that even the best counterpick doesn't come close to their main most of the time. There's an incredible precision in top play that I only started really noticing when I began competing myself :D there's much more going on than initially meets the eye

[@angeldust2614]

Thanks, was just wondering cus so far for my high school esports setting, i’m the best falcon joker and palu main. But I also have the best random, yes literally the question mark. But i’ve been hesitant on picking characters individually because I didn’t know if there was a limit

[@johnbingham5693]

Someone please change my view: I do not think ZSS’s grab is worth using. It’s incredibly laggy and she gets nothing off of it. Although now as I’m writing this, an opponent who picks up on someone never grab is just going to abuse shield.. anything else I may not be considering?

[@beckerzineo]

Yeah half of the time I regret using it... Actually I remember Marss saying "don't grab unless your opponent forces you to grab" (with ZSS), then I see 1:16 and I'm like, bruv, maybe even then don't risk grabbing

[@Bieks1]

Marss himself has acknowledged that ZSS's grab sucks and on it's own is not worth going for, but he incorporates it into his playstyle to condition his opponents and also not to just lose to the opponent pressing shield. He has to do it or he just loses to a base game mechanic that every character has.

[@Lookout1000]

As another commenter said. It’s all for conditioning. If you grab shield every time they’re more likely to spot dodge or roll, so you can hit nair/down smash more ZSS also benefits a lot from stage control - when you’re in the corner vs ZSS you’re much more likely to get hit by Down Smash & Zair

[@Inksploded]

And clouds grab? Fucking garbage too

[@draymondstreamz8268]

I hate the use of the word “panic” from commentators . Spargo didn’t panic by throwing out the up b in stock 3 g1. It’s not a panic option if it works it’s smart gameplay , the up b was good game knowledge knowing the rage would make any follow up after the nair untrue, and mars air dodge that he died off of in g4 stock 3 wasn’t a panic air dodge. It was him respecting rising short hop back air, he just guessed wrong and died for it. You’re not panicking for accepting the reality of the situation. If spargo tried to air to air mars empty hop over the right platform spargo wins that interaction even if it trades, spargo also could cover landing on the platform with up b , up smash or any aerial. Basically mars realized he put himself in no mans land and tried to do something that would work if spargo threw out an aggro option. sorry for the rant but it’s lazy commentating to call something a panic option just because you can’t explain why this player whose better than you choose a specific option.
