I love how Proto is playing and I definitely think this is the future of the meta. 2-3 characters at top level, throwing off your opponents tempo and ability to adapt, playing a more strategic long game (just like we saw in Grand Finals)

[@diegocorral8787]

Loved the game, though sad to see Sparg0 lose in a heartbreaking way. He had the limit to Climbhazard back, wish him a great Losers Run as losers side looks deadly.

[@aa-tx7th]

yeah that was a concerning fail from spargo to say it lightly...

[@the_bookworm8281]

At the very end, Sparg0 had enough limit where if he charged it, he could've made it back. Proto still had huge stage positioning going through, but that was makeable.

[@thatonedudeyousawb4]

I was looking good at that as well, it’s rough in those scramble situations, sometimes you just panic and want to rush back to stage ASAP. A shame, but I hope it doesn’t shake him for the future, he’s a talented kid

[@LordDTwigo]

Like honestly this summit seems boring in comparison. Last summit we had Glut, Dabuz, Light, Mkleo, Sparg0, and proto just like this year. BUT we also had Elegant, Maister, Chag, Bassmage and Fatality. All of which I find fsr better then the others here this year. Acola? Boring Steve player. 😴 Jay? Meh he is a great Ken/Ryu player who plays a lot with Fatality I was looking forward to seeing how he did, but he just folded. Kola I've never been a fan of. Tweek is the only exception he is amazing to watch. Last year was way better performance from the top players as well. Like on the edge of their potential. Leo is just playing Aegis which is just meh. Wish he would just stop and pull out his Joker or Byleth

[@JNKSmash]

Sparg0 adapted SO GOOD in game 3!

[@blankface911]

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

@@Vuden13 Really the nerf to nair was a bit too much. Either give her old nair back or at least her old Up Smash. She has no "get off me" tools now so instead of being a "well rounded" top tier like wolf, shes now a "volitile top tier" These kind of characters must be played in a certain way while leaving very little room for creativity. Now there is only 1 way to play Min-Min she has absolutely no versatility

Can someone explain the Min Min “X-Factor” ? I feel that x-factor is just distance. That’s the thing that beats most of the cast. And that’s the most frustrating part of fighting her. But if I’m missing something that goes into it, I’m more than willing to learn

[@georgesbouchet7430]

Hum... I don't know how to feel about this set. I really wanted to see it happen. It happened. But obviously, I wanted to see ProtoBanham's Lucina more. Something I dislike about how he plays her is how he barely ever uses counter off stage. I watched him lose sets against Hero, the best Bowser in Japan, and it was like he didn't know how to use it properly when I saw him try to do so despite it being so free in a lot of matchups. In game 4, the counter against Cloud's Climhazard was free too at that last stock, and it could have closed off the set. Other than that, Proto's Min Min did great, as usual. Game 1 was nice, 3 stock, kinda disgusting. Game 3, Sparg0 got angry and played great. It's crazy how fast he adapts and how getting pissed off actually helps him. Game 5 though... it was robbery. It reminded me of a friend I played often with early to mid Ultimate. He used to complain about how my Lucina could turn games around with disgusting edge guards and seemed to imply I was cheating or something... he made me feel sorry for him more than once (but him being salty also gave me good laughs 😄). Anyway, nice set, props to both players 😌
