As a frenchy, really appreciate all the "oh la la"s distributed throughout this video.

[@nahor88]

I always thought "ooh la la" was just Americans making fun of the French, but it hilarious to learn it's really something the French say quite often! XD

Why do they say that so often?

[@bobbyfrai6745]

@@ketz_165 Because you can say it with the intonation you want, to suit with any situation

[@RavenThryfe]

I love watching Izaw's Link, so dope. Doesn't just run away all day. Uses his projectiles to help him gain ground often.

[@chrismondson128]

salem has a good link as well

[@johnhurley8918]

@@chrismondson128 Salem overly relies on bombs. Izaw uses everything Link has got.

[@jansensamosa6317]

@@chrismondson128 yeah hes good but unfortunately I cant take him seriously after the memes. Which is sad because he probably one of the best NA links.

[@MrZayJames]

I can relate I want my opponent to know exactly why I main Link. Once u master Z drop you are a huge threat. Any character can maximize damage with items but Champion Link can do heavy mix ups with his remote bomb well before detonating.

[@timmylu3274]

@@johnhurley8918 yeah but Salem has had years of research

[@shiko4]

I swear, Izaw Is Link.

[@johnhurley8918]

Izaw is what us Link mains aspire to. No one understands the full breadth of Link's options better than Izaw, except maybe T. I'm a huge fan of T.

[@PeachiiWubs]

@@johnhurley8918 I'm a 3m gsp link main and this dude is fire no doubt but he needs to f air more for kills. He's really good at ledge guarding with bombs and projectiles but on link your enemy shouldn't be hitting 150+ f air kills at like 92 or something around there

[@ninz0ne]

Cory Keelan No disrespect but Izaw does not need your advice dude lmao he knows his character in and out so I’m sure he knows when fair kills and where. Getting a fair kill in tournament isn’t nearly as easy as getting a fair kill online, especially not in top 24.

[@phdbot4483]

Ah! So that explains why Izaw was practicing against Dream's Samus the other day! :o

[@FauuxJauu]

That commentary was hilarious, lol

WESTBALLZ IS IN FIRE

[@Aidan42781]

Woah, Izaw is a damn behemoth of a Link. I gotta be honest, as great a set as this was I had to root for Lian though just for the Samus main in me - and he's no slouch at Samus either.

[@GuardiansWithdrawn]

Same here I want Samus to win, or at least be very aggressive but Link just outdoes her mid and long range game. But the games came pretty close regardless.

[@Meko5]

I really appreciate Lian's movements with Samus, he definitely knows how to zoning. Except at times he's a bit too aggressive and he pays for it.

[@gunblade8674]

Guardian how does link outdoes Samus long rang? With her tether can’t she catch link more?

[@GuardiansWithdrawn]

@@gunblade8674 I mean in terms of utility, Link's projectiles combo, are safer, travel farther, and pressure better. Samus has trouble getting her projectiles out or the space to set up. It's like combating utility with power and in Smash Bros, power loses the exchange, just look at any Super heavyweight for example.

[@TristanForthe]

that second round was crazy, it's a perfect example of how just the smallest difference in a stage can completely change a fight. lian absolutely dominated izaw on that map, it was obvious from the beginning izaw was uncomfortable on that map and lian was perfectly complacent, he setup his combos extremely well because he knew the stage and izaw wasn't prepared, though in his defense, he fought very well.

[@Kennedaddy]

That Link is a monster

He's played against actual top players in friendlies, but barely goes to tournaments. He's a Swedish god.

As a smash noob you have no idea how much this guy's video's have helped me.

[@malmasterson3890]

@@alejandrouribe8308 No surprise. He's a great teacher, but when it comes to performing irl. He struggles at the very top, but he's definitely a high level player. You just need to have a lot of time on your hands though, cause his videos are on average are mcuh longer than most smash guides.

[@jorgecampos2643]

Yup one of the best I know the commentary liked Samus but tbh she's D tier along with Dark Samus... God link + Bad matchup for Samus=pwned

YaaaaaaY Izaw! my fav link since i was in middle school, biggest fan. im so happy to see people gushing over him like i did

[@TheBoodercg]

I freaking love the commentators they compliment the players vibrance!!!

[@SyriakYT]

You know, after giving the best instructions on characters I've ever seen for this game, its so cool to see the man himself compete in a competitive tournament like this. He's one of the smartest smash players I've ever seen

Mo_ Musashi_28 Right? He had some impressive moves in there

[@theriddler5]

Nah

[@adamramirez507]

Not enough ledge pressure or neutral game pressure. A lot of smash 4 samus dont have neither and focus on purely on samus's spacing game. We need more melee samus's in here with the right ledge and center stage pressure game taticts that weren't viable in smash 4 but are in ultimate.

[@june4135]

@@adamramirez507 after playing umtimate with my friends so much, I lost almost all my melee Samus skill after not playing for a few weeks.

[@adamramirez507]

@@june4135 true dat same here lol, I couldn't even do both games at once at a recent tourney. I feel smash 5 is still spanking new so Im sure samus's everywhere are realizing they can up there game again. Jab pressure is a thing again and a F-smash follows up nicely with just about anything you dish out. Im looking foward to samus taken tournies soon
