[@Peanut_SSBU]

good games man this was really fun you showed me that i got tons more to learn and i plan to apply all the advice you gave me as soon as possible. hoping for a runback in the future at some point :))))

[@pimpstick9988]

Love how humble you are and respect your Mac plays at the end of the day you show what this character needs to be played correctly! Love watching you learn and play win or loss!

[@Bad4bizbrad]

Much respect to you Peanut. Awesome set.

[@nialvessal]

You're doing amazing, Peanut I'm sure that you'll get only better as time goes on

[@scraps7624]

You definetely were coming into your own after the first couple of games, your Mac is inspiring!

[@kydunscary7131]

on behalf of all mac mains, i think its pretty safe to say that you arw an inspiration to us all

[@brandonlee8123]

Fatality seems to be having so much fun against peanut, just from how talkative and expressive he is.

[@awsome14619]

You have a cool name.

[@hellicafandub]

Of those times when you feel a good vibe and not a bag full of taunts: '3

[@Aflay1]

It's like the battle between 21 and Brock Samson. One is clearly better than the other, but there is a mutual respect.

[@livingsnake3903]

When fatality is losing these first to 10, he stays very quite. So much for being fun and expressive and definitely NOT salty.

[@Aflay1]

@@livingsnake3903 Not salty. Focused. He got downloaded and needed to adapt. Nothing unsportsman about it.

[@brandonlee8123]

Cool how fatality is teaching peanut and he actually takes the advice.

[@davesnow7133]

Why wouldn’t he?

[@ss5gogetal4]

@@davesnow7133 many times when giving tips, the player can be overly defensive or aggressive. I've seen this happen plenty of times.

[@ZytheJR]

@@ss5gogetal4 well yeah, giving advice to someone implies that the listener is less informed. Plus you never know if talking to an opponent during a match is messing them up. Happens to my friends and I all the time. Should Fatality have waited until asked for advice to give it? Idk. kinda a grey area. Personally I would have asked if my opponent wanted advice first before giving it. I also usually ask for advice when I've been beaten to help me improve.

[@Damian-jt8hx]

I think Fatality respects him as another one character specialist. Both have pushed their characters further than people expected 3 years ago and fatality wants to see peanut take Mac even further

[@OG_DouG]

peanut always focuses on learning everytime he gets on matches like this one. he knows he can learn from players like Fatality, so he listens to them every chance he has. that's how you gotta learn sometimes

[@aldoperez23]

I love how Fatality is being like a teacher here to a peanut and telling him his weaknesses and how to beat them

[@jonathangonzales9124]

It's a mutual respect thing. Like the episode of Goku Vs Jiren. They want the most amazing matches they both can offer. So they share in order to have an even more intense match! It's beautiful!

[@koYyn]

Cause despite the fact that fatality wants to win (#competitive) , he always seems to enjoy tight matches more . Understandble! A good opponent makes heavy reads and combos much more enjoyable .

[@Creepo_J]

Tight matches are way more fun than just completely destroying someone

[@BrodalNso]

@Jonathan Gonzales Yeah

[@squidinc4376]

I think "aww, I almost made it back" is the Little Mac player's version of Falcon player's "aww, it would have been cool."

[@erikgeorge8563]

Underrated comment lmao

[@Zhone14]

You gotta have a special level of pain tolerance to be able to successfully make Little Mac more then just a wifi warrior.

[@brunorios4950]

Peanut seems like a humble dude, I’d be so butthurt if someone was giving me lessons while kicking my ass 😅

[@etaquince5220]

To be fair, with a character like his, its required

[@ddalus6140]

It’s not something you can appreciate in the moment, it can be quite irritating to be talked down to in a way. But later you think on it and remember that your opponent wants to see you get better and kick ass elsewhere

[@magerr98]

that's a really good way to learn though as frustrating as it is.. when i started ssbu i was a complete smash noob and the people i play with had been playing competitively between themselves since melee. after playing with them for a while getting my ass thoroughly kicked, i win a lot more consistently now, and im the best player among my other group of friends that play lol

[@Aflay1]

I would be honored, especially if it's Fatality. I understand the frustration of being criticized while playing Smash, but I also understand how amazing it is to improve when someone better than you shares their wisdom. Especially a dude as amazing as Fatality. Peanut is the kind of dude who will humble himself. He is kind of hard on himself, but doesn't have a huge chip on his shoulder about it. What's I like is he keeps getting back into it when most players would quit or feel hopeless. I would feel absolutely embarrassed to get 3 stocked. I know this from experience. If anything, it's a blessing to receive reassurance while you're being bodied, rather than criticism.

[@ddalus6140]

@@Aflay1 couldn’t agree more. I am no diamond in the rough but I recently befriended a top 5 player in Nebraska (hold your laughter) and he humbled my ass real quick. However, his feedback was concise and quite helpful.

Two of my favourite players, both absolute masters of their character, literally pushing their character's meta forward, just chatting about about jabs and helping each other out. Some super slick movement, really enjoyed this first to ten!

[@Aflay1]

It definitely felt like both players benefit from their matches. I would be very happy to see both players in a serious match, whether it is a 3-0 or a 2-2.

[@sirothtakanashi9707]

Apart from being the best falcon, Fatality is a harsh matchup because he is so aggressive off stage, and has a ton of experience off stage as well.

[@LemursManLemurs1]

Imo. He is the best off-stage out of any smash player. His recoveries and patience are also impressive. He is a very adaptable player; despite how aggressive he generally plays.

[@samshapira8295]

I like how you can see Peanut slowly learn how to play against Fatality and play more consistently. Definitely shows you how he adapts to people. I can also see the respect Fatality gives him. Definitely one hell of a FT10.

[@philclip23]

Fatality literally looks like the CEO of fighting Little Mac here. I love both players, but man, Fatality just seems to know something about edgeguarding that we don't.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

ouch. Fatality really showing peanut the extreme shortcomings of Little Mac. Specifically off stage Edit: I think Peanut's play style would do awesome as a Falcon player as well

[@2Kaleb]

Cold

[@OG_DouG]

he actually played Captain Falcon for a while. he tried picking him up, and even streamed on Twitch playing as him. but he hasn't been focusing on the character for a while. he's trying to pick up both Roy and Wolf, but he still plays Mac a lot better

[@DemonEyeHelix]

At 20:10 if you listen closely, you can hear a Pikachu dying in the background. That made this set even better.

[@pimpstick9988]

Lmfao!

[@Monkeychow3]

13:50 yes it is i - the only falcon in MDVA ... lol but nah there are like 3 who are better than me in VA (ice bear, elshudo, bigboiii) they just dont usually come up to MD. honored by the name drop tho

[@OG_DouG]

Man i was waiting for this. I swear even against Peanut and his Little Mac, Fatality always styles on the competition. But my man got tossed offstage, goddamn!

[@TheHatShallDie]

Peanut went from getting 3-stocked to taking the first stock in seven games. This is what it means to be a good player

[@Kizunoto]

Another episode of the FT10’s, and another for Peanut’s ultimate training montage

[@jackclifton5434]

Some fun analysis from someone who is in region with Peanut. Peanut’s style is super defensive, to the point of camping, but Fatality picked up on that and immediately was able to control the pace of the match, move how he wants, and break down Peanut’s usually stout defense. Then when he went offstage he covered an unbelievable amount of options with Weak Knee. Peanut makes an adjustment around game 4 and starts running straight in, which is not his style, as a way of mixing up fatality. Fatality, being fatality, can handle it, and punishes Peanut for trying to do something he’s not as good at. So then Peanut finds a happy medium, and uses Mac’s movement to play at a midrange with Falcon, mixing up approaches and making sure that Fatality doesn’t get any of his combo starters/extenders for free. He also starts to mix up his recovery more, being more aggressive with Side-B to go through knee and going lower as to avoid having his jump caught. This is there he wins those 3 quick games is when he’s able to mix his style with Alternis’ (The other MDVA Mac) style. Fatality ends up making the necessary adjustments, mainly just being unbelievably solid in neutral and reading Peanut’s recovery adjustments, to take the set 10-4, but it’s cool to see all the counterplay between the two players.

[@aabrarrahman4129]

Extremely underrated comment, but this analysis is spot-on. Love watching some good adaptation from both sides.

[@cloudbird761]

Take a shot every time Fatality says "Nice"🤣

[@Aflay1]

I'm going to get knocked out faster than Little Mac.

[@Bad4bizbrad]

[@romeospells2487]

21:55 Peanut's got such a good attitude and a lot of serious effort put into his character. I'm probably going to be following his career quite closely now because he seems to have the attitude of a winner :o

[@bobert555555]

There’s been a few high level players uploading their matches with Peanut. Sadly not many are linking his channel into the description or video. He deserves some credit. He puts up some crazy games as the games worst character, very fun to watch. Thanks for showing the FT10 Fatality

nice to hear a more vocal fatality during sets, never really get to hear him converse with other top players in a tournament setting.

[@wukong1510]

Honestly Fatality is such a great sport that he gives his opponent advice to improve both of their experiences What a goat.

[@shtupidmate]

It's so funny when you see him play smaller tournaments and they die to a whiff offstage or something he genuinely gets a little upset he craves the back and forth

[@darijanjamak2632]

5 hours later Fatality 100 - 4 “I’m not 100% that was set match, want to have another?”

[@g.lether7973]

You can see Peanut understands what's going wrong and he's mostly learning but it sucks to see him lose to stuff that has to do with mac more than him

[@ShorinRyu74]

No one better to teach him about that sort of thing than Fatality. I think if Fatality moved to a better character he would be winning major and consistently top 8. But we love him for playing falcon

[@winterlogical]

@@ShorinRyu74 Would he though? That kind of thing is so hard to speculate about. Fatality plays falcon because he loves the character, loves his move-set, and loves styling on people. He's mained Douglas his entire smash career. As far as I see it, I don't know if he could pick up another character and play with as much heart as he does with falcon. Consequently, I don't see that just picking up a top tier would guarantee top 8s. If he doesn't enjoy playing them, plus he is so accustomed to playing Falcon and upholding the Falcon meta, I don't see it happening. It's like Hbox and Jigglypuff in melee - Hbox can play other characters, but not nearly as well. Something about him specifically with that character makes for the sauce that isn't there with others.

[@Derek_Watts]

@@winterlogical Yeah, you might be right. I think we're gonna get to see, though. He's picking up Aegis for ugly matchups and running exclusively Aegis at 4o4s, so he's serious about developing his skill with the character(s). If he starts taking sets off Maister, Kola, or Vendetta in bracket, we'll have a good idea of what he's capable of if running a top tier.

[@DarkThomy]

So cool to see Peanut getting a bit of attention and opportunities like that ! First panda, then Fatality ! Let's go !

[@giraphite_8976]

Fatality mindset has changed so much. Definitely seems more positive.

I’ve been waiting for this. You two are probably my favorite players because of your fast-paced play styles.

[@jonathangonzales9124]

I've paid peanut to train!!! He's amazing! He's taught me so much in so little time. I was blessed to battle him again RANDOMLY in the middle of the night, doing solo matches. Did 4 back to back rounds with Peanut YT. Each of my losses(all of the matches lol) was a learning experience. And the peanut he is today is much different from the peanut I met almost a year ago!!! ❤️❤️ I'm proud of you Peanut YT and I thank you for your invaluable experience. I look forward to seeing the man you become! I used to go under the screen name Jnizzlll, I've since changed it to AMOJnizzll I hope you remember me peanut cause 1 day imma see you at the top, fam!

This was very useful to see! I struggle in this matchup on elite smash as Falcon (but not as much as Ganon…) so I’m absorbing lots of based matchup knowledge here

[@sharsasuke01]

1:42 That was CLEAN

[@Dribin]

I'm commenting after watching the first match, but man that was crazy! Fatality is such an aggressive Falcon. And man do I wish the last patch gave Lil Mac a buff to his recovery!!

[@corbandotson4295]

Little Mac's recovery has been buffed twice already I think, it's just flawed at a fundamental level with his clunky aerial control

[@StephenSiu]

Omg, seeing Lil mac getting gimped every match is just too funny. Thanks for the effort creating this Fatality.

[@Aflay1]

When it's Falcon, it's stylish and funny. Kind of amazing. When it's Little Mac gimping, it's kind of scary. A Little Mac who knows how to use KO punch? It's like the Black and White low health theme playing in your head. Especially the way he moves with Little Mac. Like a lightning bolt.

[@metainstincts85]

The scores are quite large but that was amazing adaptation from peanut making the games much closer than the first few

[@iiXanxusii420]

You take notes and learn Great learning experience

[@oscarcalles4117]

Much better quality

[@parkerklinck263]

This is an excellent example of how matchup charts aren't perfect. Theoretically I do agree that this matchup is +1 to falcon, but in a practical sense falcon's offstage toolkit plus his pretty read-based playstyle absolutely dominates little mac specifically because mac simply does not have an offstage toolkit that allows a lot of variety. Fatality was often able to set up offstage traps to force Peanut to a particular place, then just wreck him with no possible alternate course of action for Peanut.

[@kylesantos5536]

Oh nice the gameplay quality is better here than the last major

[@blackstab3913]

It's funny how we're all so hyped up when we see Peanut use Little Mac, and yet it just physicaly HURTS to see it, recoveries and all. Peanut is the only guy i'd be glad to see using Aegis. Hell he could go secondary Aegis, Palu and Sonic for all I care HE DESERVES IT
