"Bottom Tier Mentality"... I'm gonna use that

[@michaelgallardo5778]

That made laugh so much. It’s my quote for the day, maybe even for life lol

[@SomeKindaHero117]

Them saying that brought a smile toy face as a Mac main

Its true, there are no tiers, tiers are effing stupid

[@PassTheMic2006]

@@mattyice1151 Tiers? More like tears. Because that’s what these players will leave you in once they’re done with you.

[@Qobp]

I think the ryu was just doing the motion inputs so he could hado on reaction... not teabagging

[@idain8325]

He only crouched twice, so that's probably it.

[@baconbaconbobacon]

Yea definitely it

[@mrzero_7883]

If he tried to hado after doing multiple qcf's or hcf's he would just get shoryu because of how lenient the motion input system is. So it was probably a teabag lol

[@cluelesscardgamer]

such a weird reaction to crouching twice tho. who hurt the commentator

[@thereall6358]

Lol

[@retierashia]

Always a fan of Ryu, Sandstorm plays him really well.

[@roy8749]

This man is just GOATED at any game, brawhalla, valorant, smash, geometry dash, just give him a game and he will just pop off

[@nJudas]

He been playing smash and geometry dash for years, and he was the #1 brawlhalla player for like a year, he was like the mkleo of brawlhalla. I didnt see him play valorant tho

[@jonnybryant5189]

Thanks God there's no scythe characters in SMASH. Though I'm surprised Sandstorm doesn't use a swordy

[@Jonje90]

hes playing a mid rank player. chill

[@ocal123]

oh its the same dude

[@Y4LDA]

Sandstorm is pretty good at ult but I dont think he would be that crazy in melee

[@tlk4554]

That ending was hilarious, Sandstorm just respawned and finished what he started like it was nothing.

[@despawnme9154]

Thanks for spoiling it :( thought peanut would ein

[@The_Boogie_Woogie]

Easily one of the best sets of the tournament they both played amazingly

[@Booyahguy0]

bro, Peanut and Sandstorm both had mass respect for each other, especially early the last game, just vibin and shielding

These lunatics always complain about characters they don't know shit about, and if they picked the character up they'd get sweeped.

[@catisreckless4647]

I thought Sandstorm had quit Smash to play Brawlhalla full time? Side note: Never would have guessed him to play Ryu. Would have thought one of the Space Animals, or maybe Captain Falcon. Edit: I wonder how many times Sandstorm begged Boomie to learn how to play Smash haha.

[@BigFlex516]

He was a goated ryu in smash 4

[@catisreckless4647]

@@BigFlex516 I don't doubt that he played with skill, it's just the opposite of what he plays in Brawlhalla (Mordex, an aggressive, combo-heavy character).

[@Trunks_esp__]

@@catisreckless4647 he always played the motion heavy characters in FGs, he played Akuma and Ryu in 3S and USF4, also played some tourneys with karin in SFV. Also being agressive is being skilless??? Please explain

[@ninjadoughnut4837]

Man this sandstorm guy is kinda good. He should look into other fighting games, maybe he could be #1 on some other game

[@smoothie7473]

I know, there is this one game called brawlhalla. Maybe he won't like it

[@IcarusLP]

The announcers tip of grabbing is good. Issue is that if they have fast frame data, and the player has good reactions they can punish you landing. You need a good fast faller to really do that.

[@floppatteehee4256]

No way is that really sandstorm from Brawlhalla bro

[@captain_lynn2179]

Yes, yes it is

[@griffinbennet1770]

This is good commentary

[@disappointedfather5114]

Fun set to watch, this matchup was interesting

[@AcmeMonkeyCompany]

Man, Sandstorm did such a great job of neutralizing of the KO punch, that's what kept him (relatively) safe through the set. Took away Peanut's gamechanger. Great commentary on this one too!

[@FunkBastid]

You could tell Sandstorm was punishing Peanut’s backroll habit in game 3 really hard. Peanut adjusted towards the end, but he was already at high percent on his last stock.

Yoooo I haven't seen sandstorm in a hot minute

[@Z3ZP]

Looks like Ruy’s only kill option is up B. I think every stock aside from one was from Shoryu.

[@gilbertguerrero2916]

Don’t forget f smash after focus crumple And tatsu. Back air is also very good. Ryu has numerous kill confirms and the reason why you kept seeing shoryuken is because Ryu can special cancel into it from almost all his attacks. Again, same thing with Tatsumaki.

[@jgordan775]

Tasty wasn’t connecting properly early on but that’s supposed to be another kill option. Back air is also good for kills

Little Mac loses to patient defensive play; ironic considering how Punch Out works.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

Translation: Little Mac lost to Ryu jank plain and simple. You can't say that ryu just getting to go through people shields in 2 seconds just by low kicking it isn't pure bullshit.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

@@nathanlevesque7812 It's just the simple truth. How many instances do you say that happen in this match alone? Because there's a difference between salt and an observation.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

@@wholesome_masochist4113 "simple truth" "pure bullshit" Mentioning that something exists and calling it bad doesn't give me any reason to see that something as bad. What I see is that characters have varying strengths and weaknesses. The Shotos aren't ruining the meta by having great shield pressure anymore than the swordies ruin it by having great range.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

@@nathanlevesque7812 You're the one bringing in metas and crap, I only said this match. There was a crap top of times where ryu just hits a shield twice and it falls without it actually breaking like you'd expect from a Marth/Lucina or Jigglypuff. That's just simple jank, it's been prevalent throughout smash for for years. And if you think all the swordies have amazing range, no they really don't. The ones that do can usually only get one shot out before being instantly punished with a 0-death grab spam. Like trying to actually use snake's side smash.
