Nairo and Mkleo are probably the most clutch players in ultimate rn thier mental composure are just another level compared to everyone elses.

[@Litcheck]

Nairo is my favorite player, and I think his come backs are nasty. But I think the big difference between the two is that Nairo crumbles after losing his momentum if he has it early. Like if he's up to stocks and gets bodied once, a lot of time he loses the set and it's really tough to watch

G&W up b is undisputedly the best out of shield option in the game.

[@DemonEyeHelix]

@The deepest puddle It might be the single best move in the game. Incredibly fast out of shield and just using it raw. GnW is invincible while rising at the start, so it beats out every landing aerial in the game. It combos in to nair/up air, can be used to edgeguard, stage spikes ridiculously well, very hard to edgeguard GnW recovery, the list goes on.

Huge fan of Maister and I'm bummed he lost this set, and it felt due to a change in his play, not so much Nairo's. Maister started going for these high-commitment options like dash attack and grab, and I feel like that's what lost him the match. Instead of sticking with very safe nair cross ups and other aerials in neutral, which were working, he started going for dash attack, whiff, into dash attack, etc .. And over-using GnW's very slow grab as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but it felt like he started making high commit panic options which Nairo would punish. Would love to hear anyone else's take on it.

It’s like a 110% kill at ledge too, not really an early kill. A huge part of his edgeguarding prowess comes from having the parachute, he’d only be decent at edgeguards without it. Also I don’t recommend using “broken” and “OP”, the words mean nothing because of comments like this.
