3:17 you can see the look of defeat in his eyes

[@sethdavis2506]

13:28 Now he's got that look of pure confidence after that last match.

[@KidAL0]

*Pain.*

[@LimoneneDaddy]

LOL

[@Super_Smash_Dude]

Donkey Kong was suffering throughout the match.

“We take those” - Sun Tzu Beautiful commentary

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

20:25 I felt that long contemplation

[@MannFace51]

This is a volatile matchup. Belmont misses an option read, they’re open. Donkey misses a punish, back to ledge you go.

[@GabeLev]

I love matchups like that where no character feels at a big disadvantage it’s just you and your character

[@joebloggs4933]

This matchup is certainly the Belmont's favor. ChunkyKong is good at capitalizing. T3 Dom is also really good too. But there's no doubt that in the long run, the Belmont wins this matchup more often than not.

[@tacogodboomdogg]

@@joebloggs4933 I thinks it's pretty even, everything Belmont throws can be shielded and gives opportunity for DK to close the gap.

[@shikarixox1195]

Lmao this take is so bad. This is not a remotely even match-up. Dk winning is fully dependent on hoping the Belmont just fucks up, not DK having the tools to actually force Belmont into disadvantage.

[@MannFace51]

@@shikarixox1195 cool Take that negativity somewhere else

[@et3447]

Going to game 5 against your literal worst matchup is a flex nonetheless

[@azdf43]

That moment when 70% of the characters are your worst matchup

[@juanoshigeru]

Dom SD’d on both matches he lost though haha

[@julianmanjarres1998]

It is not dks worst.

[@OmegaDarkMage]

Pikachu is probably worse if the pika has all the bread and butter combos down. Also DK can gimp the Belmont's easily once he gets an opening and puts them off stage, not to mention DK can tank a lot of hits so there is a lot of room for error. Probably 40-60 against Belmont's for DK. It's a hard matchup but doable as shown by ChunkyKong winning two games in that set.

[@demarcjohnson]

Yeah, as a Richter main that match isn't as free as it looks. DK is a heavy and once the Belmonts get hit or if the Belmonts haven't create enough space to throw out safe moves DK is scary and a killer. It also take a very long time to kill DK, the Belmonts recovery is trash, and the Belmonts eats up getting combo'ed because they are heavy character and are very slow. They projectile can be overwhelming but all of their projectile are slow. I get beaten in neutral with character with an average projectile. I'd say the matchup might be slightly in the Belmont favor, but that's not saying much.

[@XzionSheltN]

Yo why’d they zoom in on the donkey kong plushy like that 😂

[@hia5235]

Cause its freaking awesome.

[@shikarixox1195]

Cause it was popping off

[@xpluslegend1525]

JESUS that first stock tho

[@Giggles_iJest]

Yeah. Unfamiliarity plays a heavy role in whether Belmont is gonna insanely clap or regular clap. Or getting clapped 😂

[@Giggles_iJest]

If you know absolutely nothing about Belmont and their playstyle, get grill sautéed 👏 If you know how they roll thou, it’s quite normal nothing too out of the ordinary unless the Belmont main well... yknow.... dowbB into Fsmash 💀 (which is something TDom did in one of the matches in this vid, though only once. He knows restraint.)

[@ShockWithoutFear]

@@Giggles_iJest while I agree on the unfamiliarity part, I think it's worth noticing that ChunkyKong destroyed Dom only a month before this set on online too so some of the credit should go to Dom and how much he's improved and adapted since then

[@olivierbaguette6062]

Chunkykong and Dom rarely fight each other. But when they do, I really enjoy it. Such good players of their characters!

[@mohamedbelbaali659]

As a Dk main I am proud of chunky performance. Dk already struggles against projectiles and the online environment doesn't help

[@CartisGirthyMonster]

“Take this”

[@Heartache2491]

Proud af of you Dom! 😊❤ Chunky also amaze too! Love these two really!

[@Cyrath89]

One big problem also with richter is the repeating of the same sentence. Simon feels less annoying to play against imo

[@fissilewhistle]

Not really. Instead of “Take this!” you get “Begone!”

[@Cyrath89]

@@fissilewhistle now you mention it. True. But still much less annoying.

[@ayanamirei207]

There are many big problems with Simon and Richter. I pray every day Nintendo just removes them from the game. I'd take that over another DLC character any day.

[@fissilewhistle]

mitchell bolton Or you could just, you know, get good at the game rather than moan at your inability to fight two characters that aren’t even that good.

[@ayanamirei207]

@@fissilewhistle I agree that they're not that good. That being said. Fighting against them or playing as them is not fun. When it comes to game design one key principle is to listen to feedback from your player base. The general consensus is that these characters are not fun in any way. Nintendo should rework them. It's not that I can't generally beat them. It's more that it's just really bad game design.

[@mastergamingdude6191]

Awesome gameplay and a great show from T3 Dom I only wish my richter was THAT beastly and mad respect 2 chunky 4 putting up a great fight

[@johnstephens9058]

15:58 That double jump smooth land onto the platform. I see you dom

[@hozz1014]

So fast I missed it.

[@hectogrim5557]

T3 Dom really schmooving right here with the Instant Double Jump Cancel into the platform 6:34 Idk the name of the tech but it's something that C. Falcon and the Belmonts have to do with some 6 frame gap between the jumps or something like that

[@samk8005]

No-impact landing

[@leumas6485]

wth i didnt even noticed this is so stylish

[@5inistermm_109]

Chunky needs to start using diddy as secondary for like this matchup as well as min min

[@demarcjohnson]

This match for the Belmonts is not as easy as it seem. As a Richter main I have an easier time against Pacman

[@marcpjoyner]

You can’t call Don spammy. If so, yeah he spams holy water, cross, axe, up b, nair, bair, dair, and f tilt. Dude is basically reinventing what you can do with the Belmonts with his combo game. Very fun to watch

[@bruce4139]

All he does is spam optimal moves at the right time every time so spammy

[@villabong11]

But t that third match tho, that wasn't comboing into those things you said, the 4th match tho that was lit

[@marcpjoyner]

villabong11 The moments where he is seemingly just cycling through his projectiles are moments where he is ledge trapping, he’s trying to force Chunky into certain plays and making the reads. Calling him a spammer is questionable, he’s a high IQ player and often very creative.

[@villabong11]

@@marcpjoyner yeah by any means I wanted to disrespect dom I do admire his play style but as I said those moments at the third match got into my nerve because of that constantly ledge trapping

[@marcpjoyner]

villabong11 Yeah, I feel you there. It gets repetitive. Wish Chunky could have done a better job at getting back on the stage.

[@tordek911]

Man this was amazing this is the kind of sets I like to see unfortunately dk on game 5 sd right at the start

[@zackgrail6241]

Well played Chunky Kong

Take this! Take this mans B button away

i just absolutely love the sound belmont's nair makes.

[@dongzuyamishikong]

I swear the longer a set goes, the more of a nail-biter it gets!

Sometimes its better to just take the axe, leaves you in a better position.

[@cobaltstar_8281]

Not really, it just puts you in disadvantage again

[@Phoenix8764]

If you decide to play a heavyweight against Belmont, you don’t get to act surprised when you get zoned out. Especially DK, who’s pretty much a big ass hurtbox.

[@MrCrow-tl5tv]

@@fissilewhistle I am not surprised by what happened. I just felt bad for him he tried so hard yet failed all the same.

[@demarcjohnson]

@@MrCrow-tl5tv This is not a free matchup as it would seem to be. I play Richter and still do lose to DK and Bowser. Gannon is maybe the easiest matchup as far as the heavies. Crazy enough Pacman is a way easier match than DK.

Hey T3dom if u see this u should play me Why? Cause u r cool

[@rockriku]

I was hoping chunkykong would dc considering he gets salty.

[@NathanRW]

Cool, very nice sentiment.

[@estebangamer636yt2]

Dom plays so well, but I think that he kinda spams the Holy Water XD. Take This! Take This! Take This!

[@bruce4139]

Because that's how belmonts play it's a zoning move. He uses it to gain stage control cause he is slow. He used it aggressively at least not defensively

[@YounesLayachi]

Smash ultimate becomes very linear if you don't use lingering hitboxes. Movement options are very limited, knockback is too fast, 1v1 multiplier makes stocks fly, ...

[@villabong11]

That 3 match was way so toxic I mean Dom is the less spammy to death player I have seen, he usually use the items to make combo happen which is cool, but in that match was just holding B the whole time. Edit: 4th match is the perfect example of the good things I said about Dom

[@Athorment]

If it works, there's no reason to stop doing it. Fighting games 101

men T3 Dom is a spamer

[@toddfoolery6380]

I think we all know who should have won. Was some very good games though! If only I had a dollar for every "take this" btw.

[@Jeejington]

Also I don't feel sorry for DK all he had to do is grab me as Richter at 50% and carry me off stage, release me and I'm dead. Whip it all day Dom. It's an even matchup DKs get in with Down B or dash attack.

[@demarcjohnson]

Yeah, people don't understand that this matchup is that easy for Richter as it seems.

[@shanerpressley]

[@Athorment]

@@FeixMan You realize that i meant the opposite, right? Dom wasn't handed "a bad deck" as you put it, he is using his character's strengths and people like OP or you are basically saying he shouldnt because you find it "Boring". Next up you are going to say it's lame for Mario to do up air strings, for Pac-man to set up hydrant traps, for Peach to do down tilt combos, for Snake to use grenades, for Ike to "spam" NAir. I can use your same dumb logic as well: The "world class player" could have just picked a different fighter. One that has a more favorable match up instead, or at least one that isnt mauled by projectiles as effectively.

For real. That fucker is way too hard to kill and not to mention his frame data is pretty damn good for a super heavy. Plus cargo throw cheese, super armor, 4 spikes. Like damn daddy.

[@TurboPancake]

Wtf would you nerf without making him worse than he is? His recovery sucks ass and is super easy combo food.

[@ruchirpatel1933]

What You Egg honestly idt his disadvantage is that bad. Chi key Kong was able to air dodge through one of ritcher’s axes and nair can help him trade with incoming attacks. As for his recovery yea it’s not vertical but seeing as though he can Congo throw into the blast zone and still recover it gets the job done in flying colors

[@dman5072]

He also has no decent oos option. And he is so easy to ledgetrap and edgeguard. He has one of the worst disadvantages is the game. Just abuse his weak points which really isn’t that hard as he has so many.

[@davesnow7133]

What You Egg And me. I’m pretty bad at the game lol. Sure donkey Kong is ass for high level gameplay, but for suckers like me tiers don’t matter.

[@jessiem.8301]

So annoying

[@fujinyumi5632]

Let's be honest. You came here to see chunky. Not dom.

[@TyphonCH]

Dom is really boring to watch. He doesn't go for any grabs after drag down nair. Hardly uses down tilt mix ups. Flowchart ledge trapping. Yawn

[@Jamieberigan]

Late but don't care. While true keep in mind Belmonts grab is garbage coming out at frame 10 with no range and dtilt being very commitle. Also Belmonts ledge trapping is good so why wouldn't you take advantage of it especially against DK?

[@Jamieberigan]

Also it's a tournament match it's not optimal to go for any stylish combos or setups as it would cost you the set
