Smash 4 Top 25 Plays of 2015 - Smash Bros Wii U

[@EvenMatchupGaming]

I don't think we could have asked for a better year of Smash. 2015 was a huge step forward for the entire community, especially Smash4 which really blew up this year and showed its competitive potential. Cant wait to see whats in store for 2016! - Joe

[@maxjax3643]

+EvenMatchupGaming I personally would have put abadango's bike to footstool on dabuz at evo

[@MisterHeroman]

+JJ the Gamer Guy It didn't get more intense. Lots of interesting stuff happpened, but it didn't get better, only different.

[@CaptainFalchion]

Smash 4 was so amazing in 2015. Let's hope for an even more amazing 2016!

[@honeyjars]

+JayE I agree, but it's not like we have any other year to compare Smash 4 to! :P Maybe we will uncover the true potential of Smash 4 in the coming years! :D

[@thesaucypickle9866]

+honeyjars or maybe nintendo will release smash 5 and everyone will forget smash 4 like they did brawl

[@honeyjars]

I'm pretty confident that that will happen, but no worries! Smash 5 will be even better! :)

[@lawsonstokes7766]

Well...it’s 2017 and some crazy stuff has happened

[@RabbitFootfgc]

JayE nah... Lets hope for a ssb for switch

[@Take5Gaming]

Man, that Link play at 5:01 and the ZSS/Marth play right after were hype af.

[@AverageBananas12]

OLÉ! OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ! TWO STOCK! TWO STOCK!

[@lshadl5004]

+phantompacker99 Olé* ;)

[@Tlanesi]

+phantompacker99 México XD

[@nico1520]

+phantompacker99 No decían eso, decían ¨TUSTOOOOC TUSTOOOOC¨, ni idea qué significa eso (?).

[@zin_4246]

+The Squirrel 2 vidas que no?

[@nico1520]

Oscar Mtz Me refiero a que pronunciaban como el orto xD.

[@CasualChris247]

smash 4 ad a pretty hype year wonder how far we are gonna go after the final patch. i think these top players will start going ham since they dont have to worry about nerfs anymore

[@raiderify]

I was giddy when I watched this on stream and I was giddy watching it now. I consider ranai the best in Japan at the moment.

[@user-ro7op6rn5t]

Aren't balance patches still going to continue though? I thought the only thing that was changing was the end of any new dlc

[@user-ro7op6rn5t]

Good stuff

[@GimR]

Damn, no GimR Vs. Nairo (^:

[@BastianCuevas]

+GimR better go back to your channel and upload more videos :D

[@IAmS3ntry_133]

+GimR please invite Nairo and lab as hard as you can to get that rematch!!

[@Sunshine-eo2sp]

Let's not forget the gimz always wins!

[@TheMoonPersonTV]

damn joe putting your coachee in the reel? ruthless LOL

[@EvenMatchupGaming]

+SPACE DONG next time dont be a weenie about teams with me LOL

[@-Fraud]

ZeRo vs Nairo will be a match to remember.

[@danielspahn3891]

So easy to call that was going to be the 1st place

[@CaptainFalchion]

+Krissen The Fraud definitely

[@Jje261YT]

+Daniel Spahn duh, what else could of beat it?

[@LukeSnywalkersOldChannel]

+Krissen The Fraud Most hype set of 2015 by far

[@arketone]

So many great moments, especially the double 0 to deaths in game 3 of set 2

[@gameliking]

MVD vs Nairo at Paragon should be an honorable mention at least omg

[@kimgunney]

That one was so sad. :(

[@Shaggy87781]

+Joshua Davidson what happened there?

[@gameliking]

Jordan McGarty Look it up and skip towards the end

[@Shaggy87781]

Joshua Davidson well i did but there is a ton of matches...

[@kimgunney]

Jordan McGarty did you watch it?

[@toot1231]

I truly believe that smash 4 teams is the best teams in any smash game.

[@dumbrain0knowIt]

Because footstools

[@ShallBePurified]

+bil leey And character variety.

[@LuisGMJVM]

Both of which are also in Project M

[@ShallBePurified]

Memo_Mj Too bad Project M doesn't get into majors.

[@LuisGMJVM]

+Yami Yep, that sucks, but at least it still exists lol

[@Halvencyon]

Where's 6WX's death at 0% Kappa

[@juancena9729]

no kappa needed, that was awesome

[@josiahweber6121]

that was insane

[@ApexGale]

Ally nodding like "you bet your ass I'll kill you off the top ya damn sonic main mhm see what happens when you fly too high"

[@MaxRainer]

The Hungrybox and Zero double duo was fking amazing!

[@aydangooneratne5766]

7:15 This is definitely a matchup I did not expect to see in GFs... 7:21 ...Extremely fast characters, great kill moves, and great combo potential... Man, I didn't think I would see fast characters with great kills moves and combo potential in grand finals either!

[@ultra6379]

Why isn't the match where Nairo beats Zero's Diddy in like 30 seconds on here? :(

[@lock1863]

I got chills watching Nairo beat Zero again. The most important part of Smash 4 history thus far.

[@ShallBePurified]

2015 was a good year for Smash 4.

[@mika_fernandes]

i disagree with number 1. while it's nairo beating zero,it wasn't really an amazing play :P

[@jeff3221]

yeah it was. He bet the best smash 4 player in the world and took the tournament.

[@agamingotaku1826]

He beat the number 1 sm4sh player in the world and ended his what?... 8 championship win streak? how is that not befitting for thw number 1 play?

[@gameliking]

+Animated Jesse try 50+ lol but yeah it just wasn't flashy. but in reality i think it shouldve been in the top 5 plays

[@agamingotaku1826]

+Joshua Davidson I was unclear as to how many he won haha

[@Tuen9]

+Mikael Fernandes Nah man, that flip kick read was excessively dangerous (his 2nd jump was used). ZSS' combos are also much harder to do on an opponent that knows how to DI them. Even more so when you have rage (which works in your favor for the KO, but not necessarily for you with respect to hitting the combo itself.)

[@tomc5176]

Its kinda cool seeing talented melee players come over to sm4sh. The meta game is way more complex than a lot of people initially thought.

[@ShiningDestinyKai]

*First Play is a Ganon-dunk* Dis gunna be goooooood!

[@hclaymore]

Personally I think ANTi's combo on Zero at TBH5 should be #1 but I'm a huge ANTi fan lol maybe a little biased. Great video! :]

[@peppy619]

+Henry Lemonjello Award for best comeback of the year? xD

[@RabbitFootfgc]

Henry ur an anti fan yeah, anti is pretty good, i dont want to offend you, but i dont agree with you, there is a lot of better plays out there, what you did there was preference, and i understand, i love tsu, and he does some crazy plays, but there are better plays out there

[@XIxCaptainKRulLT]

I always love watching old Tourney Replays ^-^ Just a lot of amazing plays by people like ZeRo, ESAM, Nairo, Dabuz, Mr. R, Mr. E and a lot more! Thanks for an awesome year of Sm4sh, Guys! :)

[@Helix13_]

Where was Nairo's 0-death and near JV3 on Fatality?

[@Deweychu]

Great video, love the work you put in. Was disappointed to not see Cacogen's 1v2 comeback vs MVD and Zer0 on this clip, but that's probably my WA bias talkin'.

[@EvanEdits]

Heres to an amazing 2015. Let's make 2016's plays even better

[@Danadan]

I really think that game 3, set 2 on MLG Finals should be here. Nairo was a f'in beast against Diddy Kong. And his 0-death was terrific. Other than that, I really agree with the choices. Amazing video!

[@Do_What1]

I've come to terms that I'll never be half this good

[@lulzjeffy1337]

This video should be renamed top 25 commentator freakouts of 2015. Could not stop laughing my ass off at the reactions. lol

[@zaborg2400x]

how in the world is nairo vs fatality not on this list o.o

[@YungGemini]

+Ryan Scott Nairo vs ZeRo at MLG though... Nairo's ZSS vs ZeRo's Diddy

[@ShallBePurified]

+Ryan Scott The near JV 3 by Nairo. xD He wanted it so badly.

[@offlinedrbignasty2979]

Is it just me or does Zero hug like the perfect Spanish mom?

[@dbaerg]

ALL the people in the crowd at 8:47. Priceless.

[@TheJuddy96]

It's hard for one guy to remember every amazing play of an entire year with 100+ tourneys every week. If there is something you felt was missing you probably should've submitted it to EMG's twitter, as it is this was a great display of Smash 4 in 2015

[@Alguien2893]

That Mario at 8:30 its just priceless

[@notasian7620]

D1 better be careful with his voice we can't afford to loose it! DEEEESTRUCTION!!!DEEEEEEESTRUCTION

[@TankyB]

Almost every single clip I'm yelling shut the fuck up at out of disbelief. Some of the doubles finishes are out of this world. Sick vid!

[@jeffreyclancy9115]

That link one was so smooth

[@Chunkerstein]

ZeRo being dethroned is possibly the greatest moment in Smash 4 history.

[@DatSteeve]

"WE DON'T NEED SHOVEL KNIGHT IN THIS GAME, NAIRO DIGGIN' GRAVES HIMSELF!"

[@twaggytheatricks4960]

The Ganondorf one at the beginning was absolutely beautiful.

[@Antifrost]

And it's only gonna get better from here.

[@erickmaverick3128]

Dumb question: Why aren't any of these matches on like Spike TV? I'd watch it.

[@OnStrike69]

Honestly, of how popular they are, I'm surprised that a TV network hasn't picked up professional e-sports yet

[@OathToAwesome]

+OnStrike69 ESPN actually has an eSports portal on their website with event calendars and professionally written articles and shit - yes, even about Smash! In fact, Smash is one of the most prominently featured games there.

[@erickmaverick3128]

SSJ3Bowser I know, I've heard they're going to air it! Can't wait! :)

[@smashnintendo4697]

Where's the combos that ZeRo and ESAM did to each at TBH5? :(

[@Ze33roX]

What a great compilation guys, Sm4sh was marvelous this 2015! can't fuckin wait for Bayonetta + Corrin (and maybe another surprise?)

[@forcabarca4607]

To this day, I still don't fucking know what Nairo was doing down there...

[@jiezhenlin7330]

that ganonpunch+waterspray combo was pretty sweet

[@_MonkeBusiness]

8:47 The white guy with the black T-shirt just killed me.... I'm crying.

[@BrickNGames]

11:54 I still think its insane that that killed... just from one up air at 25%.

[@intiespejo3362]

Pls I killed someone with a zss combo at 3%

[@BrickNGames]

Inti Espejo cool story. I'm just saying how easy it is and how good ZSS is as a character

[@6Keith9]

D1 saying "como esta" really killed me xD

[@vincesc720]

That ROB with the dunk.. that's Holy, I fought him at weekly. I gotta get in there again and beat him.

[@robg6501]

I knew Nairo defeating Zero was going to be number 1 because of what it meant. His streak finally being over in the hands of one of his biggest rivals, but let's be honest, the actual biggest display of skill showed that set was when Nairo got the 2-1 at the second set. It was less than a minute and Nairo connected all of his attacks perfectly. Just look at it.

[@peppy619]

Honorable mention: EVO 2015, Abadango using Wario, taking the first stock of Dabuz's Rosalina with a footstool in less than 10 seconds.

[@noobiesensei6281]

Number 10 was like "Bitch that ain't Melee". I laughed so hard.

[@MrUnc]

11:05 At this very moment for the first time, I have noticed that Captain Falcon has a gun holstered on the right side of his waist. How the fuck have I not seen this before

[@kiptelgat]

I expected to see some trela ryu maybe as honorable mention but great list

[@aleo6820]

I respect Zeros great sportmanship 👍

[@alfanauta]

which tournament was the one Ranai appears vs ally and nairo ¿? and who won ?

[@Sckipt]

You gotta give respect to ZeRo. He lost his first tournament and instead of being salty he congratulated Nairo and gave him the glory.

[@falcondorf]

I knew ZeRo's Falcon was gonna show up at least once in this video. I do wish to see more Captain Falcon from ZeRo.

[@greenekj6]

Uh, you forgot Ally KOing that one Sonic at 0%.

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

That was just one move, not an incredible play.

[@chonnyma]

+Alex M. and on top of that it wasnt really skill, Ally just got really lucky.

[@TheEpiccast1]

1:20 Larry, please. This man has a family.

[@Vin50000]

8:47 i like how zeros like wtf how'd did you get that look and anti just gives i have no idea

[@monadoboi871]

11:06 FLAWLESS VICTORY

[@YungGemini]

I'm pretty surprised that Nairo's 2 stock against ZeRo's Diddy at MLG wasn't here..

[@MajorLeagueGoogling]

This video is not safe for your ears as amazing as these plays are.

[@FoolishPaul]

If you disagree with #1 its a good play but it was more for a historical moment in Smash 4 (US) history... If smash 4 is allow to have a history books yet idk. I will say im shocked Nairo vs MVD isnt here though.

[@spritlesmurf]

that last one lol XD

[@Oblivion7070]

Larry Lur putting Fox on the map damn

[@shotsfired909]

THEM HBOX RESTS I WAS SPEECHLESS AND MARSS AND PUGWEST

[@frankunodostres473]

again, like in the melee countdown, the hype moments are getting placed higher than actual skilled plays.

[@supermitch8]

Hypest clip was the first one

[@freshmintmelee4392]

Daily videos ? Spot on, EMG

[@orb3796]

well , you missed many memorable sets like nairo vs mvd with that sexy ass Comeback from mvd , but then mvd got flipkicked and then he wasnt able to Revolver , that was an real heartbreaker

[@theunknownjoe9846]

What does Smash have in common in other countries? No matter where you are in the world, when someone styles, all you here is: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH~!"

[@magpie1999aus]

that was disgustingly good

[@nullifytheshark2423]

I know how these guys rank these plays: The find a bunch of plays, get a test subject to watch all of them, and they measure how far the subject's jaw drops. The lower the jaw, the lower the rank lol

[@TheAweDude1]

Every single Ganon clip is always hype as fuck.

[@byungshin8773]

amazing compilation

[@tomtative]

And then there was Smash 5... 🔥😄🔥

[@brendanlucas1920]

The first clips reaction was the best

[@brando.1711]

Are you kidding me? WHERE'S THAT 6WX 0% DEATH OFF THE TOP BY ALLY. AND WHERE'S THE FUCKING NAIRO "GLASSES PUSH" MVD SPIKE? THAT SHIT WAS HYPE. PARAGON 2015 WAS HYPE AF. BOTH OF THOSE PLAYS BEAT ALL THE PLAYS FROM 20-15. I WANT A REDO! I AM SO TRIGGERED RN.

[@Wonderlvnd]

Anyone know what tournament the first clip was from?

[@Valenn9]

+Steve C It was a smash 4 arcadian in here in toronto

[@TriforceZard]

"AAAAAAAAAAH" -Japanese Commentator 2015

[@starleov]

good days before bayonneta and cloud

[@MeeTrey]

that last match looked painful

[@renesaldana9878]

that pause though

[@BknMoonStudios]

8:48 The real highlight for me.

[@DarthShard]

Project M top 25 plays when?!

[@renatothorne1163]

Great video guys! but WHERE IS TRELA!!!!!! RYU VS SAMUS THAT WAS FUCKING DOPE!! 0 TO DEATH!! should be featured here :P

[@LucasDalebulla]

I think that you miss a couple of matches , but they are more hype than "good plays", like Nairo vs MVD on paragon

[@vellycanelly7429]

I knew MLG 2015 Smash 4 Nairo was gonna be at #1

[@braumski2]

8:32 "Good weight by Zero" hehe

[@thesaucypickle9866]

Im sory but if these are the most hype smash 4 plays then I see im not missing much

[@That1Imp]

The Hype is Real!!!

[@MrSnuffian]

We can still see your third neck even with the scarf zero.

[@chrispham6599]

2:08 Anti looking like Abate!

[@1kotouba]

it's probably not but if the only hit that hits you deals less than 1% and you win the game after this is it still a jv ?

[@Tothro]

Hungry's Jiggly in doubles is death reaper. And talking of: RIP headphone users.

[@thesaucypickle9866]

+VanCan23 thats cause smash 4 jigg's rest hitbox is so easy to hit with especially when compared to melee's

[@jasontan7511]

24 was definitely the best play

[@tails9509]

I don't understand why ZeRo gets so much hate, he was such a good sport when he lost to Nairo at MLG.

[@Alexouais]

Smash 4 is amazing

[@WatchDoggyDog]

Awesome compilation, but it looks like Ness has been underused with these pros I'm gonna have to go get famous with him!
