[@malcolmfletcher2659]

@@Erik_Montesinos What I mean is that the two clips are both great, but fundamentally different. Ned's clip was a completely unexpected offstage reversal down air spike. Fatality's, while still cool and hype, was more or less just regular Captain Falcon advantage state.

[@kirbo603]

Nah, Ned knew he could make it back from so high up

[@DerBaum23]

That edge guard in game 4 was absolutely nuts. Also, every game is last stock last hit. So far the set if the tournament, for sure.

14:52 I see now why Seph's dair is called the Hell's Gate, cause that's exactly where it sends you

Mhm. In Dissidia when he uses Hell's Gate he says *"To the Promise Land"*

...spehiroth is one of the easiest dlcs to body his reach means nothing. it's called moving the other way. or shielding. or blocking... spehiroth is the most laggy motherf!%ker i can make a sandwich in the time it takes even his jab to go back to neutral and falcon is legit trash tier. all that fancy crap for all that damage and the mf'er cant even kill even the lauded fatality fails confirm after confirm after confirm on freaking frozen molasses sephiroth

This was an amazing set and glad to see a Falcon in top 8 of a pretty big tournament. Ned could've definitely won some games however if he let it rip on some edgeguards and didn't do some panic options but a lot of people makes mistakes in a pressured situation like this. Both of them did amazing

[@Luv-dq5th]

For all my seph mains, octoslash at ledge is really good at sniping recoveries. It's a bigger commitment then down air, but it's easier to hit since it's a multihit and comes out at a better angle

[@andrebaxter4023]

Yup. Ned has used this Tech before, like when he fought Light's Fox.

[@Infoagemage]

Agreed, underrated.

[@Ray-ni6gp]

don't worry ned-- you are an inspiration to sephiroth mains everywhere!

Starting to get comfy with the deep up B edgeguards, i like it.

[@theimpersonator7086]

Fatality's recovery mixups and timings will always be impressive to watch. Even up against characters with broken edgeguarding, it is super rare to see Fatality get gimped Kinda a shame how Seph's weakness like his height, weight, and frame data give him a bunch of horrible matchups like Fox, Sheik, Diddy Kong, etc. Hope Ned and Tweek can put in more work for the character though, as both are amazing players

[@oneofthekindscarf8612]

Idk why Tweek randomly dropped Sephiroth for a while and decided to use him a bit recently. He was doing surprisingly well with him online and tournaments back then then randomly just shut him off lol

[@jordantiburcio4541]

Tweek tweeted recently that he's not going to tournaments or streaming anymore

[@theimpersonator7086]

[@andrebaxter4023]

Ned did amazing. It could have gone either way. Grats to Fatality though! Knowing Ned, he'll keep grinding. His Seph is getting better and better.

[@Yokai_Yuri]

@@oneofthekindscarf8612 Because Sephiroth is not that good as character, at best he is a mid high tier. He has some pros like amazing range, damage output, superb edge guarding, can kill early and has a come back mechanic...sounds amazing right? Well, no. All his pros are massively eclipsed by his weakness. He has a tipper mechanic which sometimes makes Seph unable to kill a light weight past 120%. He has massive ending lag and some starting lag as well making him THE ONLY character in the game that cannot whiff punish. He has a tall character hurtbox.but he is so light that after 40% you are on death range( Comeback activates at 80% lmao) unlike terry, his comeback mech does not stay on. He is the only character in the game that has 3 character archtype weakness : Zoners, rushdowns, small characters. Another weakness he has is that a playet has to be extra precise with seph otherwise your attacks cant even connect against middle size characters such as wolf.

[@jakesawaguchi4928]

I will preach this until the day I day, Fatality's disadvantage & offstage game are absolutely fucking godlike

[@alexpotts6520]

I swear every one of those five games went to last stock last hit. Really there was absolutely nothing to choose between these two players.

I love both of these characters and want to see more from each moving forward

[@ShadowBeetle]

19:59 first time i see falcon´s back design, its so cool

[@S1neWav_]

wow what a great set. amazing showing from both players

[@yoshifetus4713]

There were a couple times Ned sniped his jump but still didn’t go for the edge guard, I assume he was expecting an early falcon dive but still expected to see some more edge guards come out

[@khyron2010]

I agree

[@dennisd.4726]

Yeah he definitely could have edge guarded more. That's a huge advantage seph has over falcon in the mu and he didn't capitalize on it. Many instances where he could have just flat out won if he committed off stage a bit more.

[@chignonn]

Definitely agree. Ned reverse edge guarded him better than actually edge guarding. He played quite defensively for most of the set. Don't blame him though, the pace of this match is quite overwhelming for Seph.

[@aa-tx7th]

ned massively overestimated fatality...

[@dennisd.4726]

Fatality for sure wasn't playing his best this tourny but still got top 8. Impressive

[@JRald2016]

LETS GOOOOO!!!! That match had my heart pounding. When Griff landed that back air , I jumped up in excitement

[@exeledusprince9165]

Ned really should have mixed up his Hell's Gate ledge trap with a Down Smash every once in awhile. Fatality drifted back about 98% of the time to dodge the hell's gate, and Down Smash would have taken the stock numerous times.

[@Pilicast]

Down-angled ftilt would've been a much better mixup. Downsmash offstage is slower and much weaker, filt sweet spot would have hit the same area quicker and can kill under 100%

[@IsThisAmerica1]

Cool to see Ned still playing and repping chicago. Haven't followed the scene since the end of smash 4.

[@MrBeso]

[@martincote3042]

22:45 wow I really liked how ned went off stage but manage to play safe and clutch, yet still went for a fair, that triple jump is really powerful for these kind of security

[@megamecha100]

It is so great to see fatality finally playing like a top player in ultimate, it felt like a lot of the early lifespan of the game he just had so many flubbs in his gameplay but now he has really found his stride

[@briangreen3496]

@@user-qu8eu1dg3f I think he’s just not fully aware of how laggy it is

[@dennisd.4726]

I thought the same thing. Shielded octoslash should always be a hard punish. But in the moment it's hard to account for everything. Up B is pretty much falcons safest oos option other than footstool falcon kick so fatality definitely auto piloted a bit there. But fatality was just simply not performing at his peak this tourny. Way too many situations that were way closer than they should have been. But he was still able to clutch out top 8 which is cool to see.

[@himmyneutron3560]

One of my favorite sets of the year and it’s only January

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

Great showing from both players! Ned is an excellent elite competitor but if he wants to breaks through into the realm of the gods, he really needs to utilize Seph's entire toolkit Not using reverse Octoslash for edgeguarding in lieu of ledgetrapping really hurt him this set Yes the window is tight against falcon since that UpB can get a nasty reversal but he needs to to do it *because* its hard. Thats the difference between Gods and Elite players in not just smash but all forms of comp. Gods know when to use the unsafe stupid options in the safest and smartest way possible. Elite players not so much

[@Intothemind]

He actually made a top 8 not that long ago at CEO in early december, placing 4th out of nearly 700 entrants. He also top 8 two other huge tournaments last summer with 2nd place at Ultimate WANTED 3 and 5th at InfinityCON 2021, where he lost to Ned, funnily enough. He has really gotten strong results since offline competition returned, you love to see it.

[@Lyt1991]

Amazing set

[@jerichorhymes531]

Watching players dissect each other is always a treat. Cpt falcon isn't the flashiest but fatality makes you think otherwise. This matchup is in sephiroths favor no doubt. We've seen it enough times though where pros will win in bad matchups on a regular. Gg to both players.

[@MWDJR173]

it seems that he does not use Captain Falcon's powers except only to return back to the stage. UP + B is an excellent combo when doing 2 up kicks in the air. when falling from the air at a 45 degree angle is an excellent time for DOWN + B. when spaced apart horizontally is a great time to use LEFT/RIGHT + B to close the distance.

[@PSCM1]

Why wasnt Ned using down smash on Falcons recovery??

[@marklabs4612]

Ned played incredibly well, especially with the dair spike to win the game, but his edge guarding was abysmal. He was going for dair at the ledge, and couldn't hit it even once, after 8 to 10 times trying. I think by then, it's time to try some other options like down tilt to hit below the ledge, spacing a 2nd degree charged gigaflare, or a short hop octoslash at the ledge

[@raphu2272]

yep especially after fatality drifted his up B's so Seph literally never couldve hit him even if he did 2framr

I was rooting for Griffin, but Ned's Sephiroth is inspirational and I'd like to see the character more as he doesn't have enough representation, IMO.

It's due to how difficult it is to control Sep. Similar to when Joker first came, most weren't able to bring out the best in the character. I say Ned has room for improvement compared to Fatality

[@Godlysound]

So is seph bad or can no-one play him efficiently enough? Even nairo struggles after maining him for months at this point, do you think Leo could make seph look as broken as he does byleth?

Almost anyone can. It's just that no one is fully used to him in the game.
