[@trashcant4678]

ZeRo could've just tornado'd.

[@sozerx5044]

Infinite64 LMAO

[@trolltroller8488]

Infinite64 I get that reference

[@Nain9]

AYYY LMAO

[@trashcant4678]

FPT mr. cartoon Wait, you thought I was being serious?

[@MusicLyricsMan96]

And it all would have been good

[@KaBSmash]

tfw Black Nairo beats ZeRo but Nairo can't beat ZeRo anymore

[@Dark0zzZ77]

KaB lel

[@Dark0zzZ77]

because nairo hate diddy i think :/

[@sonicloud7774]

KaB DAMN.

[@KaBSmash]

@Super Zombie It's a hard matchup for Nairo's Zero Suit because Diddy is a short character.

[@grantdong7746]

Luhtie beat Zero with zss. I mean, it may have been a lucky play, but still, it's doable.

[@fuducker2]

20:19 I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

[@MrDonphan]

fuducker2 LMAO

[@jwill2700]

IFKR

[@Zeldafan223]

"that's what you get for trying to beat me with 1 stock with falcon"

[@sqa]

underrated joke

[@David-oc7ni]

Zelda fan LMFAO UNDERRATED COMMENT

[@Zeldafan223]

Thanks :)

[@Zeldafan223]

And thank you

[@knojangles]

Lmfaoo

[@sonicloud7774]

I swear every one could feel their heart beat after this close set. Damn.

[@PrinceKatamari]

Just watched again in 2019. Most hype set of smash 4

[@lmao2302]

Cap

[@toyotagaming]

For those wondering what Zero was saying at the end. twitter.com/SSB_Ned/status/850859814993498112

[@ethanflinner8254]

"ZEROS THE CLOUD SLAYER" >loses to tweek and ned "ZERO SUCKS AGAINST CLOUD" lol he got beat by two of the best clouds in the world and one of them used DK half the set, ZeRo doesn't suck.

[@patoa3481]

Ethan Flinner "two of the best clouds in the world" arent we forgetting about Komo who is arguably the best Cloud?

[@ethanflinner8254]

I did say two of, and Komo hasn't beaten Zero.

[@patoa3481]

Ethan Flinner beating ZeRo doesnt make you the best Cloud or something so you're saying that Luhtie is better than Nairo or Marss? I think placing in tourneys is more important and Komo gets top 8 a lot

[@ethanflinner8254]

I originally said two of the best clouds, not the two best clouds lol. Komo's obviously the best cloud but Ned and Tweek are arguable #2 and #3/4 (idk about Ned)

[@orb3796]

Patooo 10/10 Stop purposefully misreading his comments

[@voltingmaster5458]

Oh god Not the Brawl flashbacks.

[@dreadfury2485]

I think this is the first Cloud to take a set from ZeRo since M2K back at GOML. Friendly reminder to everyone that even the character perceived as "braindead easy" still has so much room to develop and improve. Even a guy as proficient at the MU as ZeRo needs to be afraid.

[@patoa3481]

Dreadfury Tweek almost did it too at KTARXX

[@Megaguris100]

Dreadfury M2K also took a set at Endgame

[@grantdong7746]

+Patooo 10/10 Wasn't Tweek using DK in that tournament against Zero? Dreadfury is talking about the character MU with Cloud.

[@alixlaphaise4116]

Grant the Dragon That was only grands, they played in winners before that

[@grantdong7746]

+Aschious Phaise oh, ok

[@pizzashark7067]

"I want my girl to choke like ZeRo."

[@XxDragonRedemptionxX]

Lol so fucking funny at the end. Commentator not finishing his sentence. So hyped up, lingers his word and make a rythm with it. And in complete synchro with Cloud's side B. "I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME"

[@jaredmartin7040]

Damn Ned is so good at this matchup!

[@stormcutter59]

Zero has truly perfected his craft. A true champion, I can't help but respect the man

[@icanolliehaha]

Holy shit that match was fucking intense as shit! Neds movement as cloud is on a completely nother level, and the crowd was going nuts, ned really proved himself this set GG. probably the greatest set ever IMO.

[@alixlaphaise4116]

icanolliehaha Not even close. Not as hype as ZeRo vs Nairo was at MLG, or Tsu vs Zero at Frostbite Winners Finals.

[@knifeyxp]

Ned played out of his mind but Zero was playing on tilt from game 3. Gotta stay composed my man

[@soridosuneku]

Murdpoop So it wasn't just me. It kinda reminded me of when he played Luhtie except he's way more composed here in comparison to Civil War at that point

[@knifeyxp]

soridosuneku Zero beats himself up over little mistakes and loses focus. You can witness the shift in gameplay from cognitive Zero to autopilot Zero as he berates himself.

[@knifeyxp]

Did you just say that Zero did the best he could, and lost to Ned? If Zero had done the best he could, he wouldn't have made all of those mistakes to be punished. Cloud has no recourse against a Zero-level Diddy Kong unless Zero is playing on tilt. Zero has beaten every top level Cloud player extremely convincingly. Ned did play amazingly well. Like I said. But Zero was not playing optimally. Like I said.

[@kingnellyboi6303]

Murdpoop Exactly, given the fact that they played again and zero free'd him up 3-0 at the same Exact tourney shows that he was probably on tilt in winners lmao

[@knifeyxp]

Sam Adam Tru. Ned is a beast in his own right but ZeRo is on a level of his own.

[@shortsn4860]

wow this set was crazy, idc if it's 2021, this was still nuts

[@danielspahn3891]

Ned's a great player, well done to him

[@KeertikaAndFallenTree]

Black Nairo PogChamp

[@BlackDeathBlade]

Crazy ending lol. Ned played out of his mind this set. Really unfortunate in the runback though. He had all the notes on ZeRo.

[@bestimmusmucho]

I'm surprised ZeRo didn't play lame in the last 5 seconds when he had the 1% lead. Props to Ned for taking him out in such a close set

[@KaioKenpai]

He shoulda gone Lucina 😏

[@axel7801]

Ken | ShadowVenom718 It's you! :D

[@Zeldafan223]

or Falcon, we could have had a for glory rematch

[@jaysuave9744]

Ken | ShadowVenom718 Zero doesn't have a Lucina tho. You're thinking of Persistent Blade he has a Lucina

[@soridosuneku]

Right? He's even said Sword characters do decently against Cloud

[@AuraScar]

Holy crap i hadnt even noticed the clock in the last match

[@sebastianlara2690]

Cloud can't tech the later frames of his Up B yet we haven't seen that implemented. Why?

[@DunnoBro]

Because it isn't very relevant at all? You can't just stay at bair/stage spike point, he'll just climhazzard early and hit you.

[@sebastianlara2690]

You X You Lose in the match, we saw ZeRo jump and try to hit him off stage with fair, with that same jump he could have fast fall and bair Ned for the stock, like he did to m2k

[@DunnoBro]

Thing is ned could reverse or early upb, when he did it to m2k he lost his jump and the situation just called for it better

[@heavystorming]

Top 50 plays of 2017. You see it here first

[@pablo9202]

Zero: Ned is a Top 10 player for sure in my opeeneeon He´s one proud legend

[@ShadowLink678]

Was expecting to see a forward air kill by cloud earlier tbh in game 5 last stock How did Zero not expect a limit move during the final 5? It's annoying that the numbers are so in the way tho, dat huge 5 Also why didnt Zero go for a time out?

[@alixlaphaise4116]

ShadowLink678 He didn't see the time, which answers all of your questions about ZeRo.

[@ShadowLink678]

how do u not keep trrack

[@EJJTheMiner]

This set was extremely intense. ZeRo shoulda just tornadoed though amirite Kappa

[@EternalSpartan]

Ned spent 99.9999999999999999999999% of this match running away.... acting like Zero is a cop

[@sonicloud7774]

Eternal Spartan He was playing smart and baiting Zero in for him to make mistakes.

[@jaredmartin7040]

Eternal Spartan That's how the matchup should be played against Diddy

[@EternalSpartan]

nope it's why he got spanked

[@DapuffStuff]

20:17 Zero could have just tornado'd

[@sonicloud7774]

Dapuffdaddy 69 How can this man tornado if he ain't Metaknight? bruh.

[@kenii28]

you dont get the joke because you havent played since brawl

[@rahulshankar4784]

kenii28 Wasn't it pm?

[@friedrice2376]

Dapuffdaddy 69 I think he didn't realize that there was only 5 seconds left. That's why he acted that way when he lost.

[@gamma-ray1295]

And i thought Frostbite / Civil War kind of hype couldn't be topped...

[@Nain9]

16:09 That was so good

[@alexsleepy5305]

Is Ned the 2nd cloud main to beat zero now? correct me if im wrong.

[@bestimmusmucho]

M2K and Leo have already so i think he's 3rd

[@alexsleepy5305]

Unbound Peach leo beat him with cloud?

[@soul7168]

Alex Nanez no just marth

[@bestimmusmucho]

actually you're right

[@wez4412]

Alex Nanez Ned is the 2nd Cloud main to beat ZeRo with Cloud. M2K has beaten him with Cloud twice. Leo beat him with Marth. Tweek beat him with DK. Ned beat him with Cloud. As far as I know, ZeRo hasn't lost to any other Cloud player.

[@kabindrapradhan840]

What were ZeRo and Ned arguing about at the end??

[@JesseDumontt]

Kaby Ned's actually super lucky ZeRo didn't notice he had the percent lead with the amount of time left. He could've monkey flipped away and charged barrels and went anywhere on stage if he wanted, but he didn't, since they were so into the game. So Ned definitely deserved the win. He played out of his mind.

[@NIneDJcali]

Kaby mobile.twitter.com/SSB_Ned/status/850859814993498112

[@Athorment]

who took Ned out on this tournament?

[@emmanuelsomething2355]

Zinoto and ZeRo.

[@MusicLyricsMan96]

Is that man Ned or Nairo right there

[@errikutarantino6019]

It's official, I'm dropping Bayo for Cloud and Ned is now my favorite player to watch Edit:Zero could've just tornado'd lmao

[@Aae.X.]

Zero could've tornadoed He should use Lucina next time

[@TrevorAugustine]

Wow. Ned did amazing.

[@kingnellyboi6303]

how you beat zero then get 3-0'd🤔🤔

[@JohnBosson]

its almost like ZeRo's adaptation makes him one of the greatest players in the world? I dunno I'm just throwing out suggestions here.

[@kingnellyboi6303]

Fuckin Weirdo > taking a set off one of the greatest players in the world > not taking a game in the exact same tourney

[@rahulshankar4784]

Sam Adam 50th best player according to pgr*

[@TheNotoriousHehe]

All that matters in this game is STAHCKS

[@sonicloud7774]

2:34 did I just hear melee roy?

[@ShadowLink678]

sounds like metal moving but yea i c whatchu mean

[@akelo6781]

I was playing friendlies with vikki kitty at the time than my brother screaming Ned beat zero and me and vikki was like wtf

[@MustafaARIKLeBG]

8:40 "Wow that Up-air hitbox" Kappa

[@ericjohnson7029]

Ned!!! omg the tension

[@juanoshigeru]

[@bunnyhopgaming943]

[@rahulshankar4784]

ZeRo could've just tornado'd :)

[@anthonyvelasquez4184]

for glory runback

[@theasianjew7556]

PogChamp

[@Jorax1]

OMGGGG

[@ricachon001]

First ally and know ZeRo losing to Ned

[@alejandrosalgado7199]

Ned plays amazing, but boi, is he a Camper (uppercase); wether he's losing or winning, he wants Zero to go do everything, so he can just punish. Amazing cloud, just disliked your camping.

[@dudelove9]

#18

[@revenant7709]

[@KeertikaAndFallenTree]

Damn, I got outsped.

[@Dark0zzZ77]

game 5 > zero

[@leaf8554]

Oh boy, cloud

[@RocketshipSails]

Some jank stuff in this set, which is Sakurai's fault. ZeRo outplayed Ned for sure

[@etoile7174]

RocketshipSails no johns

[@ThatSneakman]

Frame perfect johns

[@RocketshipSails]

Not hating on Ned, he played well, just saying there was some janky stuff, which is normal for Sm4sh. ZeRo took care of him easily the next time they played

[@Ozi_i]

最近負けてばっかだな笑笑

[@delioniowilson3640]

Hate when zero play this bad

[@bleuemoone8710]

Delionio Wilson he played really good

[@jaredmartin7040]

Delionio Wilson Actually the opposite,give some credit to Ned he played out of his mind

[@kingnellyboi6303]

BlueM00n In loser's, that was when zero was playing good lmao

[@angeldiaz-uf4wv]

zeros pretty dumb he was wining by one percent and could have just camped

[@jaredmartin7040]

a.d.online 2002 He panicked
