Smash Ultimate @ Xanadu 288 Highlights

[@jevy2099]

Ice climber mains in the hyperbolic time chamber atm

[@skylon01]

Anybody complaining about the amount of wolves should remember that Dexter and Joe have always used Wolf in Ultinate

[@HurriKayne55]

As a wolf main I still think there are way too many wolf players now

[@Rd0Lg]

You can always switch, then there'd be less Wolf players.

[@ellamint360]

That's cause projectile needs nerfed

[@chillerbiller540]

Neil Derr too much damage, almost no risk

[@engineerheavy1344]

HurriKayne55 blame zero

[@HurriKayne55]

Ill play wolf even if he becomes the new greninja and gets nerfed into the shadow realm!

[@frankunodostres473]

damn this tourney was the opposite of stacked. keitaro would've top8'd

[@k-dawgHI]

I just love how all characters are being played and are viable

[@melaniew7187]

Pink fresh did so well and almost beat logic, if he can keep his cool and be as creative as he is consistently, he’d be a top contender for sure

[@alear18]

Now that’s a lot of wolf players...

[@jayhm9393]

We need more Lucas mains. so fun to watch

[@grey-c8138]

I love how people are complaining about the Wolf saturation when Pink Fresh is the only one that didn't already main him before Genesis

[@captainquickscope8414]

[@SMALLSandJOE]

Why pokemon stadium 1 over 2? I prefer 1 personally, just curious as to the reasoning

[@namelastname3126]

Less confusing background, platforms are slightly lower, ledges are easier to snap to, some small differences in size and the music is better

[@RadRobbie]

@@namelastname3126 Looks better as well

[@TheDriver458]

Masahiro Sakurai tf you talking about the music is better lol you said yourself we can pick any stage music from the same series

[@doctorreed_]

kind of sad to already see chractwr diversity start to decrease. wolf mains crawlin out the woodwork now

[@namelastname3126]

There have been lots of Wolf mains since the first day lol, he's a good and easy character, but I don see him being too dominant at top level

[@Sonictunic]

@@namelastname3126 Defending your homeboi zackray from the nerfs huh, Sakurai

[@Balloonbot]

Look at Genesis 6 for a more accurate roster. Top 8 had: Olimar, Ike, Peach, Palutena, Inkling, Wolf, Pichu and Fox

[@PraiseDolan]

Idk what you’re talking about my man. These players have been playing him practically since ultimate game out

[@namelastname3126]

@@Sonictunic dont touch my baby boy zack when his feet will touch the ground hes gonna become the best

[@Masenk0]

Wolf is so boring to watch other than Zackray's

[@Foxfen64]

lemon plays like hes trying to see over the screen lol

[@charlieryan5436]

What do these guys get for winning this tourney, other than bragging rights? Is there some kind of prize pool or monetary reward?

[@ThePlayingPenguin]

Yeah we get money

[@kevin9284]

Why would they not get money? Lmao

[@charlieryan5436]

@@kevin9284 What do you mean? Just because they won doesn't mean that they are entitled to the money. Its great that they get the prize, but its also a way of improving their skills and playing against the best players they can find.

[@slamsuperslam]

Charlie Ryan In NA a lot of players sacrifice all their days and their time to practice smash instead of other adult things and it only becomes worth it if they can make money from tournaments. They also sign to teams and stream on twitch to make money.

[@charlieryan5436]

@@slamsuperslam Yeah man, i know all about that. I had just never seen or heard anything about a prize pool.

[@chillerbiller540]

Everyone maining wolf after zakcray clapped everyone. Sad to see people jumping on the bandwagon

[@user-ut5ki2fi6b]

It gets boring!

[@MaximusV25]

All these people were already wolf mains

[@Nocturnal117]

I was already a Wolf main even before this game came out.

[@TheSpontaneousPony]

How can you blame them when wolf has the safest moves with a lot of guaranteed followups/mix ups

[@xWiggleDeezRoots]

Dont wanna be that guy, but all these players were wolf mains from early on, or brawl days

[@tinyteemo]

[@toastertrudel104]

Wolf player drops controller. Kill move

[@Kingfishbish]

Is it just me or do commentators just sound dumb when they say bad DI. if I'm not mistaken optimal DI in ultimate is holding towards stage which is so easy that most likely they are going to do that every time

[@MrSelkies]

Sometimes you get hit by something you weren't expecting, or just straight up get a missed input, and accidentally DI yourself further away from the stage and get killed when you could've lived with better, or even no, DI. DI isn't just holding a direction, it's based on what direction you're holding when the hit actually happens, so holding it afterwards does nothing. It's all about knowing you're going to get hit and holding the direction before the hit happens. So if something unexpected hits you for whatever reason, you might not be holding the right direction for good DI. My point is the window to DI is tight enough where "bad DI" is a legitimate criticism and it's not as simple as just hold the direction. It also should be said that good DI isn't always holding towards stage - sometimes it's better to make your angle different like when you're sent straight up it's better to hold left or right.

[@thomasr.6669]

@@MrSelkies Exactly. Sometimes I end up with bad DI when I'm trying to roll away and end up losing a stock much earlier than I should've. Since you don't have intangibility at the very beginning and the very end of the roll depending on the character, I got caught on the first few frames when I dropped shield to do the roll animation and wasn't expecting that. In terms of differing optimal DI, take Jigglypuff for example. She can carry you to the blastzone at a certain percent range with Forward Air strings before you can act out of hitstun, especially if you try to DI in since you don't want to DI towards the blastzone and potentially lose a stock. But you end up sealing your fate if you do that and it's better in the end to DI out of another Fair and deal with her trying to edgeguard your recovery. You still have a chance at least in that situation depending on your character's recovery.

[@lidofzejar]

Good DI is dependant. For straight ups and downs you want to hold the opposite direction. For lefts and right, you want to lean toward the opposite upper corner of the screen, or just up in general to divert your ballooning speed. Sending it up puts more space between you and the blast zone. Down let's you come lower for a tech chase, but can lead to earlier kills due to all your speed being fully utilized to reach the blast zone. IIRC if you just di toward the stage having been knocked to the right of it you may as well have no DI.
