[@BedrockBlocker]

ESAM's up-throw thunders were SOOO on point this match.

[@Jo__Ko]

#bidou

[@BedrockBlocker]

Yeah ;)

[@thick3434]

Looks like he's reading a great book from very far away. Wow that could not have been more spot on

[@iziashsuklan7057]

Battle of the Baldos

[@tylerv.g.6268]

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha

[@andreayton1993]

"come back when you are a grass type" killed me lmaoo

[@ZalvadorZali]

ESAM!! YES!!! Good games to M2K he played amazing too!

[@Kenstro27]

I love these commentators. Professional and funny at the same time.

[@TinyPrinceGames]

Hell yeah ESAM, that bidou tech paying off in spades. Respect for M2K too, both great players.

[@Adventureruler]

That last game read by Esam was amazing.

[@MLPflutterguy]

i don't normally cheer for esam, but my god it was satisfying seeing him beat m2k's cloud

[@wearenumberone7172]

I got a Mr. Clean ad

[@nitronicgaming4460]

Same

[@SabinFain]

Don't get mad when ESAM Taunts. It is a mindgame

[@ogot344]

man esam played this Mu right both in game and in real life, I think his taunts threw mew2king off so his mentality was bad.

[@SkyTheStarhero]

yeah when he hit the three taunt, im guessing it prolkylk was to throw m2k's focus off. He can straight face it all he wants, it definetly left an impression on his gameplay later on.

[@voxelfusion9894]

Using those taunts was extremely contemptible. What a juvenile tactic, I thought better of esam :(

[@JayStaice45]

I don't think the taunts phased m2k at all but maybe the early gimp did. Regardless ESAM was just outplaying him. M2ks mentality didnt seem like a factor at all he just kinda got got

[@Pe4Cow]

+VoxelFusion you thought better of Esam? Dude it's Esam that's what he does.

[@ogot344]

JayStaice I could see in his play his mentality got to him all right.

[@Jo__Ko]

I love how everyone says pika is mediocre and isnt that good when esam proves again pika is atleast top ten

[@Charple]

pikachu is top 5

[@wearenumberone7172]

Jon Kotowich Pika is top 15

[@julioarcaiko]

Right! This is bidou Esam. He played dope this tournament, glad to see my boy taking names!

[@brendan1871]

1:14 How's that "useful" Climhazzard punish coming along, ESAM? You know, the one you came up with. lol tbh Cloud's recovery is not as bad as people make it seem considering his air speed and the incredible disjoint on his attacks, not to mention his ability to recover for free from anywhere if he has limit.

[@fuducker2]

pikachu's whiffed dash grab animation is so cute

[@Quarter_Turn]

I love seeing ESAM playing at the top of his game again!

[@BlitzAceX]

Yoooooooooooooo that last thunder was actually gdlk the conditioning was awesome this set from both players!

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

We need a name for the 2nd hit of Pikachu's down-B. How about Pika Thunder 2?

[@sizzle5775]

Both players were on point this set (Well, no surprise from M2K, he is a very strong player always) and cograts to Esam being able to recover from game one's 2 stock defeat.

[@matthewjbarton]

2:04 lol true. I vote these are the best announcers for smash 4

[@gamertostart7966]

"Every leaf was just like: bruh... not today" hahaha

[@ShockWithoutFear]

ESAM did great Maybe Pika does beat Cloud

[@Ace-rm8ed]

Maybe but not really

[@ShockWithoutFear]

+PK Lucas It could just be even but ESAM seems to be showing a favor in the MU

[@Ace-rm8ed]

*****​ Yeah I'll bet he'll lose next match because he's going to taunt and somebody's going to body him

[@SomersBugtopia]

It seems pretty even honestly, Pikachu might have a slight advantage due to the off stage strengths.

[@ShockWithoutFear]

PK Lucas Well he got 2nd which is great. The taunting is really there to just get his composure back if he feels on tilt.

[@Yeldibus]

ESAM you da MAN!!! XD Those matches were fucking tense!

[@ogot344]

man as a Pika main I love this Mu :3

[@lagalil]

I really want both of this players to win.

[@omegaxnightmare304]

Does he still use biodu?

[@MrMickel11]

Is ESAM using bidou here?

[@jrockj1108]

Great matchup between these two

[@SkyTheStarhero]

Man that was CLEAN by ESAM.

[@laughingocelot2097]

I'm pretty sure it's the power of Orange Glo fucker

[@RadishAcceptable]

Such a good match!

[@blackwolfie1512]

7:27 9:34 10:33 Hello! Goodbye!

[@alphajnitro0072]

yo... has esam been hitting the gym? He looks more buff.

[@jirachinick]

Glad ESAM finally did well :)

[@pattytou]

This was so hype!

[@Kaleetos]

"Like his foot hurt but he still trying to get to the bottom of this chapter" HAHAHAHA

[@williamkeith1180]

Esam's pikachu doesn't know quick attack... It knows finesse attack

[@anthonyderrenbacher4109]

lol m2k losing to another random

[@icebear6757]

lol

[@najeethegamer1557]

Nice bait lmao

[@joniboni5029]

Esam a random?

[@nolanw9573]

+Jonas Mückler you took the bait

[@Hoenn101]

ESAM could have survived that first spike, I would have died, but ESAM usually nails that angle

[@TerrorMovieMakers]

Let's go Esam

[@AlejandroSantiago-kn6dg]

love both players...I find Esam to be cute...just sayin

[@alexssb5023]

I felt so bad for m2k...

[@joycezhang3612]

so hype~~

[@theriffman7392]

nice work esam

[@poopeyinmymouth]

I think smash 4 makes it too easy to return to neutral.

[@CoffeePoints]

those taunts tho

[@michaelatkinson1949]

i meet e e at comic con!!!

[@epicpatochik1223]

The hairless is back !

[@tylermorris9506]

M2k deserved this set....

[@bobbyblair5464]

ESAM acted like a complete asshole this match. Taunting even when his opponent isn't, and after he killed M2K in the second game he taunted thrice in a row. I can understand a taunt after the final kill, but with all that, it isn't cool, it is just hatred-inducing.

[@fuzz134]

Bobby Blair Are you new here? Esam taunts almost all the time, against everyone.

[@rapta_masta5423]

Choke2King

[@Starwolfe64]

Get #taunt to get bodied

[@jaysuave9744]

ESAM is the besssssst

[@StanDaMan4487]

Cloud2King

[@icebear6757]

Esam actually doing good? i refuse to believe it

[@kanjige]

Pickle Inajar 2 words. 2015 smashcon

[@Sunshine-eo2sp]

I'm telling y'all pika is top 5!!

[@wearenumberone7172]

Jonathan Parnes No no no no. Top 5 has characters like cloud diddy rosa etc pika is not top 5

[@kakashiflores2629]

Anyone else notice ee and d1's friendship changed.

[@Percevalko]

lol m2k

[@ProlificPops]

I don't get how M2K couldn't read those constant Thunders from ESAM. He could've easily airdodged and drifted away from them midair. But whatever. M2K wasn't playing up to par, so ESAM deserved it.

[@wophful]

The thunders from up throw??? Those are confirmed if that's not what you're talking about then nvm.

[@zerosoldier13]

Up throw thunders are true you just have to read the DI.

[@NechuEXE]

M2K was playing up to par because he got 3rd. Up throw > thunder is guaranteed

[@ProlificPops]

+DJ Howard I'm pretty sure ZeRo drifted/DI'd away from them several times when they played. Don't know what M2K was doing.

[@zerosoldier13]

+Prolific Pops Dude it's guaranteed no argument there. The distance traveled is all weight dependant and esam was messing that up. He said it himself in his return from shine video.

[@holyjoey]

bad match up
