Midwest Mayhem 8 LOSERS QUARTERS - PG | Locus (Ryu) vs TSM | ZeRo (Diddy Kong)

[@Anon-bv8hz]

2017 already has more hype sets than 2015 and 2016 combined.

[@Lavi_BT12]

Ikr! Smash 4 has gotten really hype since like the closing of 2016 and now 2017 is looking to be the best year Smash 4 has ever had.

[@patoa3481]

More newcomers Japanese players weve never heard of and a lot of upsets

[@samuelvibritannia4831]

Dale L no joke dude like 2016 was nice but these sets have been fucking insane this year, it's amazing.

[@perryxgustin4271]

The BEST & MOST HYPE SET of the whole tournament.

[@heavystorming]

Ned sent zero to losers. That was hype as f

[@DrGandW]

Erik Mercado Yeah but this set had more sick moments

[@myideology7906]

Locus is easily the best Ryu in tournament, but we all know about friendly Trela though

[@FryMario55]

Didn't Trela retire? And pretty much Locus is the #1 Ryu after Civil War.

[@Rricee]

Mr. Fry Locus is #1 Ryu now, but if u ever have a friendly with Trela, he'll most likely 4 stock u in a 2 stock match

[@Sabbathfaax]

Herz Pik at this point locus is by far #1 with how many more upsets he's gotten and his placings being comparable/better to prime trela as it is

[@myideology7906]

Cyrekt cool what's the difference? Tell me more about it

[@alixlaphaise4116]

Trela retired, saying that he was the pioneer of Ryu, and that he's found a more consistent player to take the reins instead of him. Locus is clearly proving Trela right, top 8 at Civil War and taking ZeRo to game 5 after being 3-0'd by him before. He's improving incredibly quickly. Also, friendly Trela is unbeatable apparently. He went to the Sky House (Top players like Void, ZeRo live there) and he apparently destroyed everybody in friendlies, and even made ZeRo consider picking up Ryu for a while. He's literally top 5 in friendlies.

[@BlackDeathBlade]

Game 5 ZeRo vs Game 5 Locus round 1 fight! Locus in game 5 is probably one of the scariest players in Smash 4. His ability to adapt in a Bo5 is straight up inhuman. His conversions get better and his reads get really scary. Anyone that survives Game 5 Locus, let alone ZeRo, is an amazing player.

[@Anon-bv8hz]

If only he learned how to pick up bananas he might have won :(

[@thatdude3977]

or if he let those focus punches go after the first back air of zeros edge guard attempts he coulda landed those and kept egde guarding pressure off

[@tarikbihorac5025]

you guys are both wrong. locus doesnt know how to DI. if he did he would've won for sure

[@soridosuneku]

a positive attitude seems to go a long way as well. he's happier than most pro players during a match

[@Anon-bv8hz]

@Arnold uhhhh no one said that there's one exact reason why Locus lost, it's a combination of a lot of things.

[@olraskel6283]

I understand that people hate ZeRo because he wins alot but when is this man gonna get his due, this man be having some of the best sets in smash 4 history ex: zero vs ranai, zero vs ally, zero vs tsu, zero vs ned, and zero vs locus. The point is where would smash 4 be without him when some of the best sets involve him.

[@finklemeire603]

Hey I'm from the future Smash 4 is dead and Zero leaving is one of the biggest reasons

[@lucasmccormick9447]

"ZeRo is the only player I actually get nervous against" -Locus 2017

[@dreadfury2485]

If this doesn't solidify Locus as the best Ryu bar none at this point, I dunno what to tell you. He's the only Ryu in recent years to actually come this close to beating ZeRo in without a doubt Ryu's worst matchup. That recovery at 4:08 from ZeRo was absolutely insane, too! Smash 4 has evolved to a whole new level. When ZeRo is no worse than he was back in his period of total Smash 4 dominance (he's unquestionably even better on his own now) but so many players can stand toe-to-toe with him, even when he's playing incredibly well, it's a real testament to how amazing this game is becoming competitively.

[@lumen9590]

Dreadfury locus is by far the best ryu now namely cuz of two reasons A) Trela quit smash because he found his "successor" (locus) and B) all the other ryus dont even contest locus, closest to him now is either djjack (who doesnt show much anymore) and darkshad who, while is good, isn't as mentally powerful compared to locus

[@SupremeSuperiorStick]

Great set, ZeRo was actually pretty flashy lol. Glad to see Locus putting in work.

[@ShinyKelp]

So Trela, the Ryu pioneer, after a long period of being a hidden boss and taking out names from the shadows, finally retires leaving Locus as his successor, ready to dominate the scene as the new Ryu threat. I swear to god the sm4sh scene looks like an anime.

[@ChemicalBlady]

Looks like ZeRo is optimizing his play to a whole new level

[@ZER0O9]

I just love the word shenanigans I don't know why though.

[@BedrockBlocker]

One of the best sets of Snash 4 history.

[@sargentbaco9182]

Probably the greatest match I've very watched. It had every competitive aspect thrown in. So much to watch, and so exciting.

[@JM1992]

What we all need is Locus vs Fatality, grand finals in a major event.

[@luckyl953]

Zero the GOAT. this set was so lit and he took it all the way back to win finally beating ally with persistent blade and taking out ned 3-0 who initially put him into losers. zero takes this very seriously im glad to see this

[@ElevenSEES]

I love how the crow clapped for the wall cling

[@Ze33roX]

I remember when Locus was bodied by Zero about 3 months ago (at Zero Saga iirc), how this man leveled up so much in such a short time!

[@Mast3rOfTimeAndSpace]

2017 has been such a hype year for Smash 4. Damn!

[@pizzashark7067]

Superb set. Superb audience. Quality entertainment.

[@miimage4667]

this set was amazing, when this happened my twitter feed was full of "Locus can pull off all of this advanced Ryu tech, but he can't pick up a simple banana"

[@finklemeire603]

4:10 Good Lord what a GOD

[@lildrummerboy65]

Locus is the Ryu savior

[@thehunted1872]

What's with Panda Global and getting all the good Ryus?

[@voltingmaster5458]

This video would be gaining more views if ZeRo lost.

[@jurrydemause4147]

Bryan Long exactly he's just hating that he'll never be good

[@gabriellizard9073]

Jerry The Perv Behind Tom Cat I don't think he's hating, he's really just stating a fact lol.

[@voltingmaster5458]

Bob Smith exactly besides whenever ZeRo Gets upset the views on a video skyrockets

[@WhimsyHeath]

It's a shame, because this is such a good set regardless.

[@gioelepagani430]

Viewers want to see blood

[@thewaterman122]

I couldn't stop laughing the entire set imagining Hyuga appearing from the distance in the commentary cam and firing a toon link hookshot onto vikki to grab her waaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@zephyrusssb6264]

Godlike set

[@ReaLoader1]

Locus lost to Ally and ZeRo. it's not a shame

[@Sabbathfaax]

Why do I feel like I'm the only player in the world who LOVES watching zero play? (As both a massive locus fan and an agressive read-based player overall)

[@dakotaeatmon2978]

Cyrekt i love watching zero probably second favorite

[@colorsrk9337]

this set was so insane geezu

[@sonicloquendo]

4:08 I'm kinda new at Sm4sh tournaments. Can someone explain how ZeRo escaped the spike? Why is it so impressive?

[@gamma-ray1295]

He didn't exactly escape the spike, but because the Omega Version of Suzake Castle has an outer wall, ZeRo was able to wall cling with Diddy, regaining a jumping and then being able to recover. On a normal stage, he should have died there.

[@sonicloquendo]

Ooooooh... now I understand how incredible it is. 😲

[@Serralas]

Damn what a hype set. Every game was so close.

[@tarunparavasthu4960]

Wow... i understand when people say ZeRo can be boring to watch, but he pulled out some cool stuff here

[@TheWagn156]

that set was insane oh my. THE ALMOST REVERSE 3-0

[@ByonickGhost]

This match was amazing! Good shit ZeRo 👌

[@Axeman3000]

Locus looks so happy

[@gatsby7808]

This set was absolutely insane

[@axel7801]

Gotta hate that banana, I swear it's so broken but ZeRo did pretty amazing.

[@trashcant4678]

axel7801 God hate that uptilt, I swear it's so broken but Locus did pretty amazing.

[@thatdude3977]

pikachu is annoying also and zss

[@tarikbihorac5025]

ya'll are blind to see it. but if you look closely you'll see that diddys fair is the most broken move in the game. banana is the 2nd most broken tool

[@jalene150]

axel7801 what about uptilt to shoryu? It's a true combo, does like 15% damage and can kill early af. Point is, this game has a lot of janky moves

[@chepemasacuata1]

axel7801 Get gud banana is not broken boiii

[@isaroberts1778]

this may be marss vs pink fresh good

[@Arya_Drottningu]

Now that was entertaining!!!!

[@dijam4015]

Even though I am a big Locus fan, some of the most intense sets contain ZeRo. Ex: Frostbite 2017 gf, this match, mm8 winners quarters Ned vs ZeRo.

[@CalamariMatoi]

idk lmao dont ask Ranai vs. ZeRo at G3 too

[@dijam4015]

Yeah

[@PlusheonPup]

That was a phenomenal set tbh

[@jmm00702]

4:05 PogChamp

[@MustafaARIKLeBG]

"Tr4sh is boring"

[@Ze33roX]

Just Meleetists says that, don't summon them please.

[@CalamariMatoi]

Farfadouillet "melee is balanced"

[@CalamariMatoi]

Fop Neus what the fuck are you doing watching Sm4sh videos of the game is so "boring"...

[@Supplychainpapi]

PG trades trela for locus

[@his_purpose3]

6:28 What a way to execute the comeback.

[@zicoxl]

Wow ZeRo is amazing when he really want to be. This guy must have a good IQ score...

[@ShiddyKong]

12:58 Ryu does a lot of damage in three shits!

[@ReaLoader1]

so fun to watch. but because of Locus

[@rayanal-shikhi140]

Both commentators really need help with hype-building. :/

[@rahulshankar4784]

Rayan Al-shikhi The girl is the one hyuga molested

[@rahulshankar4784]

***** Cuz

[@chily6531]

They were pretty good...

[@breadlee5337]

Locus is improving so fast

[@Alexis-xu1re]

Locus is like the successor of Trela

[@RamonRamirez07]

4DR Locus

[@BaiSeHuLanHu]

Locus being mad/salty for that side b in game 2 ➡➡ ☺☺☺

[@orb3796]

Bryan Long I dont think locus even has the ability to become salty. He probably smiled

[@orb3796]

Bryan Long Or just laughed at how smart Zero was

[@DrGandW]

Lmao you clearly don't know his rep 😂👌🏾

[@BaiSeHuLanHu]

I didn't mean he's salty or anything, just the fact that he's always smiling, regardless of the result. lol

[@supersayianbluechicken1796]

BEST SET EVER

[@rexlundstrom2333]

At 10:18 Zero would have lived if he did the instant jump barrels

[@rexlundstrom2333]

DAMN this is a good set

[@docreverb]

this set was lit

[@humanbass]

That was super fun and dynamic. Can't understand people who aay Melee is better with that same old autistic meta.

[@123Supergen]

that combo is actually called the ZeRo combo, he made it himself.

[@z0ti_gg]

123Supergen Geo Combo.

[@cam-ix2cl]

123Supergen send proof of ZeRo doing it first because i saw it as Geo and then Zinoto in a tutorial

[@tarikbihorac5025]

fucking zero fans. retards the whole bunch of em

[@123Supergen]

Leffeny i cant really send it because ZeRo show that combo in a stream, he didn't even know about ge0.

[@tribeking84]

123Supergen well if it was true then ZERO would've claimed it and told everyone it was his, but he hasn't so he probably didn't come up with it. ( I'm a ZERO fan btw if you think I'm hating on him).

[@BronzeOrwin]

ZeRo went downhill because he got a hand injury that made him unable to play for a while, for those of you that don't already know. He lost his first tournament after that injury. Ignore the people below who don't get that being out of a competitive game for months will put you behind, and let other people catch up. I think they want to fantasize about ZeRo being bad or something I honestly don't know.

[@miipuns6318]

Bronze Orwin That was litteraly a year ago

[@between_mistral_and_mahrinui]

that guy probably forgot to mention hes using internet explorer

[@BronzeOrwin]

Didn't he lose his first tournament after that injury? And not playing for a few months can really mess you up when you need to maintain the best in the world title, lol.

[@novax7702]

Bronze Orwin dude, at this point the injury is kinda irrelevant, ZeRo's been in the scene for an extremely long time since that injury to catch up with the competitive scene and adapt to where it is rn. We can't forget about Frostbite can we?

[@YungGemini]

Anthony Park LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@franko_2570]

best zero fight

[@Nain9]

1:46 ayy ge0 boyz

[@NorieHolloway223]

LETS GO ZERO

[@chezfarach001]

DAIGOOOOOOOOO

[@River-hm2dy]

Lmfao who's that 10 year old minecraft commentator

[@SexyPants]

Thicc.

[@zainy_inc154]

SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE LOCUS :'(

[@Nain9]

2:14 LMAO

[@kevincarb6366]

4:17 this commentator is annoying

[@justinnguyen1090]

Diddy beats Ryu again it is so sad that Diddy is still super broken in 2017

[@zeddash.6695]

What, diddy isn't broken.

[@chepemasacuata1]

Justin Nguyen Diddy is maybe around number 7 in the game, you just need to get good, also zero is almost the only one getting results with him.

[@jacobheimberger888]

People saying diddy is broken even though zero is the only diddy who's a top 20 player

[@DrGandW]

RIP Zinoto To be fair he hasn't been getting Top 8 at majors lately

[@tarikbihorac5025]

OH MY GOD. diddy is top 3. stop taking zeros opinions word for word. Zero fans and Esam fans need to start thinking with their own brain instead of taking their OPEENIONS AS SOLID FACTS.

[@trunkskoolkid]

No game audio and annoying commentary = Fail

[@Dark0zzZ77]

ggs zero For beating this ryu really disgusting ^^

[@dubudubu2442]

Great set, obnoxious commentators

[@chily6531]

Dubu Dubu Great set, good commentators, ignorant commenter

[@diegoalarcondtk3672]

easy money using diddy

[@chepemasacuata1]

Diego Alarcón DTK! So broken that only 2 top players use him. Just get good

[@CalamariMatoi]

andres "Only 2 top players" dyr MVD ZeRo Zinoto JJROCKETS

[@gatsby7808]

zEKu I'm sorry to come into this conversation, but the only real players you mentioned that consistently top 8 are ZeRo and potentially zinoto. MVD is close, dyr and JJ aren't seen too much imo

[@diegoalarcondtk3672]

its not about "get good" its about accept the fact that diddy has better chance to win a MU againts almost every character, come on, bayonetta is a very good character but diddy is broken.

[@JoshuaTexeira]

IRON MAN LOSSES! SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALET!

[@leaf8554]

LethalJtex losses?

[@JoshuaTexeira]

what ever lol

[@heavystorming]

I thought Vikikikty was fired. Please re-fire that bi***

[@chily6531]

Erik Mercado Why?

[@beta511ee4]

Erik Mercado Why? Is it because she's a woman?

[@heavystorming]

Keyword - Hyuga

[@Athorment]

she actually did a good job on this set imo

[@jeremyhutsonwilley1725]

First
