I feel like Peanut uses the fear of KO Punch more than the actual KO Punch

[@arandomperson12345]

I agree. It's a good strat for him since everyone knows KO Punch can kill at like 0% and Peanut is very good at taking advantage of panicked mistakes in his playstyle.

[@AzizTheSavage]

but it cant kill at 0

[@jordankelly4034]

@@AzizTheSavage if you get a super armour upward angled forward smash at 0 it true combos into it for a kill

[@GumiBaer]

you can see this at 1:30 when he hesitates the ko punch to catch the airdodge land lag, super well played

@@KARDENLEE ditto is a term we use if two players use the same character against each other in a game or set. It's named after the Pokémon Ditto, which has the ability transform, basically turning into the opponent's Pokémon, thus creating a mirror match.

[@DMSupplier-u4o]

A little mac ditto is kind of like watching a heavyweight boxing match, but both fighters have their guards down, and just keep throwing giant blows until the other is down

[@evolvedbread1370]

Little mac is canonically a lightweight in his game which is funny because in smash he is like a heavyweight

[@killaben85]

@@evolvedbread1370 Little Mac is a lightweight who fights in an Open Weight class who pretty much every other fighter besides Glass Joe is a heavyweight.

[@webbowser8834]

@@killaben85 IIRC Little Mac is actually in the division below lightweight, known as "Featherweight". Meanwhile some of the fighters have actually broken beyond the "heavyweight" classification and into "super heavyweight".

Fun to see them duke it out really fast tho

Hes a character that is good at edguarding but has terrible recovery options. What did you expect? Hes literally built for the ditto

[@Bladster94]

True but the HYPE in that last game though!

[@ChillavaKirby]

Why is that 😬

[@JiggypuffFridays]

that almost ditto movement at 5:37 was so satisfying

The name of the game with Little Mac: Don't get hit. He just happens to be really good at hitting people. Glass cannon syndrome.

Peanut really went “Ight… remove the floating platforms real quick I want to test something”

[@Zorua3]

Respect to Peanut for switching his alt costume. Alternis has had "dibs" on the yellow Mac since before Peanut even hit the scene, and he's also had problems with Peanut fans disrespecting him and calling him "Peanut 2.0" instead of respecting him as an equally good Mac (his 25th at Smash Con is the best an American Mac has ever gotten!), so that small token is respect from Peanut is nice to see.

[@captainmega6310]

So interesting seeing the history of other characters playbase

[@moom81]

didn't know that. the casters made it seem like he was being disrespectful. thanks

[@gekko8499]

Man Mac v Mac is my favorite matchup cause it feels like there's just an unspoken rule to just keep throwing smash attacks until one of us loses. Too bad finding another Mac player is pretty uncommon

[@peacetea_life]

Honestly, like I don't play little Mac much but I like to play Mac ditto with my brother and just throw those smash attacks until one of us wins

[@hank2815]

When 2 pro Mac players fight, it's such an anime battle. Like, there's the op hero and the op villain, and we're just side characters watching in awe.

[@piplup10203854]

1:31 That is so satisfying to see and why little mac is so much fun to play.

[@stephenmahilum4770]

A legit boxing match tournament lol

[@amaulana090]

6:20 is probably my most favorite moment

[@sonoftheway3528]

I'm glad they chose the omega form for a different stage. Idk why they don't do this more in tournaments. It gets kind of annoying to hear the same 5 songs and see the same 5 aesthetics over and over again.

[@genesisosuna]

lmao it's funny how you complain about this in ultimate of all games, in 64 and melee theres like 4 legal stages combined

[@kimotokirby1601]

@@genesisosuna Well, yeah, but smash ultimate has like 80 diferent stages, even tho only 10 or so are legal, every stage can be ''legal'' if you chose the omega form.

[@aldoperez23]

For the commentator that couldn’t quite get the words together, he was talking about an Impala K.O punch where if you perfectly jump from ledge and use K.O it can be the full strength K.O pinch because of Mac technically being on stage, but you need to be precise

[@nickdistrict14]

Oh thats the name. Thanks. I was trying to explain it but couldn’t get my words out exactly.

I believed I played Alternis in friendlies before at Waypoint Cafe, he destroyed my Ice Climbers with Mac! lol.

[@Evixyn]

The little mac mirror was fantastic in round two as the two where just trading blows and armoring through each other's recovery options 0/ I am a little disappointed that the base boxing ring was not used but it would had be silly to see the two brawl in the ring :)
