[@zacksimmons4146]

This is top-tier Smash. Heavies are playing the game the way it was meant to be played. Little or no combos, just neutral reads and mind games. 11/10, I hope this gets run again.

[@bradychapman5645]

I get tired of fighting games that have combos (funny how hard it is to escape that kind of thing) because rather than relying on actual skill and the specific kit of your character or fighter to cover for you in a dynamic way and a wide set of circumstances, these mf’s who do combos just figure out who can stunlock other people to death the best.

[@reper6237]

Leon has the most high level experience, he's been playing professional mind games and breaking down vulnerabilities for the longest of these players. Thats what i think made the difference, he was very VERY focused on getting underneath kiligramhours and made a lot of openings for himself by playing to his landing weakness. The other competitors struggled to exploit circumstantial weaknesses and create vulnerabilities to the same degree of effectiveness. It was really cool to watch the underdog take it to the very end. and it was even cooler to watch the run come down to very split second decisions stemming from a high level understanding that some top players can't make as well as others. This is what this shit used to be all about. Main tourneys have recently been decided by systematic advantages that just can't be overcome with efficient split second decision making. Thanks for putting this on Poppt1, it was a lot of fun to watch!

[@offbeatecho3057]

Tbh he only won cause side b is op and kilogram kept going for meme hammer great match from both but one played to win and one played for the clip 🫡

Kind of disappointed skyway didn’t go farther, but kilogramhours was playing super well

[@extonjonas6820]

Maybe if it was game five he would have won but if that was the case we would have seen less KGH and that was fun because we always see Skyjay

[@bigmight2358]

I never watch competitive smash.... like ever. But gathering the best heavies in the world is a genius move from poppt as he's trying to grow the audience of competitive smash. These players have the same skill level of top players but don't have the lame play styles of characters such as sonic or Steve. These sets were fun exciting and got me to watch more competitive smash. GREAT VID POPPT!!! :)

[@raptormtg1289]

Nah, they are worse than top players.

[@beastabuelos6421]

​@raptormtg1289 some of them literally are too players lmao. Everyone in this tournament is insanely good and potentially top level

[@4546Bean]

It’s probably for the best that he chose to not invite a Kazuya to this tournament

[@kachowabunga17]

kazuya may have a high weight but that's where the similarities end lol

[@RushWheeler]

I was just thinking, "Isn't there another heavy in this game" and then I read this comment

[@Guillz02]

​@@RushWheelerRidley and rob

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

So the interesting thing about Kazuya is that he isn't a super heavyweight by the most commonly cited definition, which is a higher weight than sandbag's 115. He still gets lumped in for obvious reasons, he FEELS like a super heavyweight and nothing else, but he also has a weight of 113. So you can argue that Kazuya is technically not a valid character here. I'm kinda sad we never saw a solo charizard though.

spoilers: as soon as Leon took the first stock in game 2 of grands, i said out loud "yeah he's not losing another one". he completely figured out KgH after just a single match of adaptation - that veteran experience really set him apart in this tournament. really great job to everyone who participated though

[@Sketchios]

He’s been playing for a long time so he’s probably seen a lot and he’s good with other heavies

[@wailmoregd140]

It would have been cool for there to be a surprise championship match against Hero, a Japanese player who’s currently ranked 47th in the world and the best Bowser in the entire world

[@buttery_gooch6]

kilogramhours has got to be one of the most inspiring players ive ever seen. dude works a 9-5, plays in a tournament last minute with a character commonly regarded to be among the worst in the game, then puts on one of the most hype and creative gameplans i have EVER seen against some of the world's best. genuinely inspiring gameplay

[@dreeg1896]

Ok, yes, Jet Hammer is a bad move on paper, but in reality, in a tournament setting, that move is STRESSFUL. Like KGH said, on release, it comes out in 10 frames, which is faster than every move on Dedede’s kit other than up and down tilt and nair. It’s as fast as his jab. That move being charged, easy for Dedede to do with gordos, is massively scary. It causes a lot of panic scenarios, which I think is why Leon of all people was able to deal with it so well. He’d seen it, he knew what to expect, and he didn’t let the pressure cause him to panic. KGH plays a very psychological game, and Leon finally reached a point where he could handle the pressure. Well done from them both.

[@Chaos_Vergil]

I wished there was a losers bracket cuz I wanted to see SkyJay more in this tournament. Also, next tournament should feature characters that have been in fighting games before (aside from being in Smash, obviously). Now, I know that sounds like only Ryu, Ken, Terry, and Kazuya would be used in this hypothetical tournament, but you'd be wrong since Link was in Soul Calibur 2 on the Game Cube, Mega Man was in Marvel vs Capcom, and Pac-Man was in Street Fighter X Tekken. I can't think of anyone else atm, but this idea for this kind of tournament could be interesting. Also, no, Min-Min is not allowed for 2 reasons. 1, Arms is not a traditional fighting game and 2, Min-Min is a boring and annoying character to see in tournament any Smash Tournament, especially online. Sonic would be banned for the same latter reason even though Sonic the Fighters is a fighting game.
