ACOLA USED MONKE AGAINST SPARGO IN GRAND FINALS??? (Battle of BC 5)

It was Monday in Japan… if his monke were in the right time zone, easy 3-0

[@Pj_901]

Acola should just start using pocket dk and not aegis as a pr move. He would become a lovable hero so fast

[@loadingname5499]

thing is that the only person that he consistantly struggles against is spargo and DK is an actual viable option since the cloud mu isnt that bad. its not a bad move at all

[@DrSwazz]

How is the DK/Cloud MU not bad? DK can’t land and Cloud literally has his up air

[@loadingname5499]

@@DrSwazz I mean thats the DK lifestyle, DK can technically never land reliably. That being said, cargo throw messes up cloud a lot meaning he can get a lot of cheezy early kills

[@DrSwazz]

@@loadingname5499 Well yes, he doesn't land reliably but it's even worse in this case bc Cloud has a great, super safe anti-air game. Really, Cloud just has to look out for grab and dash attack. DK has to not get hit by nair, uair, or dair at ledge. Not to mention both characters have the same bair.

[@loadingname5499]

@@DrSwazz i didn't say that the mu is favorable for DK, its even at best but its still better than using Steve imo. At least worth the shot at the very least

Sparg0 after that first game: *"Nah, bro. You ain't Tweek, this ain't Smash 4, and I'm not Leo. I'm taking that crown."*

[@RaizaS94]

Apparently the DK discord were roasting acola’s DK

[@CaptainDCap]

@@jaydenhohman2590 Yeah nah. His fundamentals are dogwater, so his DK is similarly dogwater. He did 140% on PS2 and got 2 stocks with gimme dingdongs. Just straight gimmicking because he knows he can't stand up to a player who isn't carried by an S++ tier at the top level. Nothing Acola ever does is noteworthy among his peers, and I'm convinced any regional-leveled DK main would completely trounce him in the ditto. The only reason Sparg0 didn't 3-stock his DK twice is that he refuses to edge-guard and exclusively ledge-traps, even though DK literally CANNOT grab ledge vs. cloud when he sticks his sword out vaguely in his direction.

[@lyxertt]

​@Jayden Hohman That's correct. Acola isn't a good player; he's good with Steve. The kid is actually bad at the game. Again, he did 140% damage and almost took 3 stocks; those were gimmick kills. Look at players like Jake and Ddog. Both were absolutely bullshit before Steve came out, and then Ddog double elimed Tweek from a tournament. Steve carries anyone who touches the character regardless of skill.

[@Chillaccino1]

this proves acola isn’t just carried by steve if he almost took a game off sparGOD

[@Elitist]

He's not top 5 without Steve but yeah. I'd say he's carried still because Steve allows him to be so dominant even at times he should have lost. Though you could say that's just part of playing a top 3 character which is true enough. If Steve was as light as he should be he gets like 9th here.

[@rottentomatoplays]

DK kills super early on ps2... if you only do 140 damage and take two stocks, you're gimicking. Spargo could have just banned ps2 and would 3 stock acola.... he's not a top 5 player without Steve at all.

[@bossjack4225]

Acola has really bad habits from playing Steve (rolling in a lot) and it gets him killed on other characters

[@dvdmoreno2010]

He is only blessed by Steve Forgiveness. That being said, he's still a top 5 talentwise.

[@rottentomatoplays]

@Dave not even close... take Steve away and who does he beat considered a top 5 talent? Not tweak... not leo...not light...not dabuz...not cosmos....not sparg0... we can keep going but then he'll end up in the top 30....maybe
