SNT | MSB (Kragg) vs. Mugi (Clairen) - Rivals of Aether Top 8 - Frostbite 2018

@@punani_slayer4209 Smash Ultimate is expensive and you need a nintendo switch, which is also expensive. Also, the game is way too big and too new and overhyped imo. Rivals has an awesome, more dedicated community.

THAT GAME 4 WAS AMAZING!!!

Bro you can literally see him shaking as he drinks the water after game 4 lol

[@Eichro]

Aww, Mugi deserved that Game 4. Huge props to MSB for hanging on tho

[@icwatch]

Eichro that was some bullshit lol they should nerf that

[@roe_bro]

Nah, they both played amazing and to the strengths of their characters. You don't deserve a win till you take 3 stocks, Mugi deserved to win the set because he did. Deserving it means nothing if you can't seal out the stock.

[@roe_bro]

wait nvm i thought this was the set he won ignore that second last sentence

[@akiralonske8023]

Magic Llama its not really bs, all you have to do is go to the other side of the stage and hit him there. He knew it would help him out, so he put it there purposefully. Not to mention most of it was kragg being a heavy character, and thats just a mechanical part of the character.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

Well now I know not to keep watching. Mugi definitely outplayed him. Kragg is just a stupidly heavy character.

[@hayes9611]

That double grab was nutty

[@sailormaou8891]

I fkn loved the crowd going "ONE MORE STOCK!" At one point i even said one more stock non sarcasticaly in kragg's favor, I wasn't even really rooting for any of them.

[@JFPCreative]

It’s like a miniature melee!

[@treehann]

it seems sicker than any of the other smash games aside from Melee, tbh. Much more fun to watch than the new ones.

[@CasualScrub]

This is still the greatest Rivals set I've seen

[@factandsuspicionpodcast2727]

That was incredible. Good show from both guys.

I love that swordwoman!!

[@bluejello7565]

this is such a great set but i wish it had better commentary. i love ee but he clearly knows nothing about this game lol

[@ALPHAdog479]

I think it's alright, especially compared to all the other sets I've heard. The other guy seems very knowledgeable and the ee's color compliments it well enough. Alot of Esports actually have a hype guy whose less knowledgeable, but they still know how to commentate so it aorksr

[@thealmightyscooobb3072]

I have to wait for the Switch version since I don't have XBox and I don't like playing on PC🙁

[@valpodesideromontoya2097]

What's the problem with playing this on PC? That's where the best communty is and where the most players are. Also free choice of controller.

[@roberdash4079]

I love how Clairen is too similar to Marth/Roy, i make the custom Marth and Roy (Yellow roy) colors for the character

[@ethiopiop]

first game ive seen and WOW

[@spri5819]

Why is it that Kragg's fair would kill in game 4 but Clairen's F Strong doesn't at a similar percent? Even tho Clairen's F Strong is clearly more punishable. I don't really play Rivals all too much (More of a smash player looking in on a different game) but this really seems off to me.

[@zeph769]

Rivals has a weight system which determines how much knockback a character receives (similar to smash although). Clairen receives the default 1.0x knockback whereas heavier characters like Kragg or Etalus receive 0.9x knockback iirc.

[@warriordinag3921]

This game relies a lot on good DI to survive strong hits. It can mean the difference between dying at 30% or surviving until 170%. The weight also plays a big factor and clairen ended up missing his sweetspot. The clairen just got surprised when kragg forward aired him in game four and didnt DI properly. Good DI in smash can only improve your survivability by about 20%, while in rivals its how you survive strong hits at all, unless you got hit at around 30%.

[@Max-Rtpmp]

12:47 there's a safe effect on the up smash, it's missing for me, does anyone have any idea what could be the reason?

[@fritzypooo]

Mugi parried MSB right before he up smashed, which gave him s

[@cubicalprobably]

2:21 What a sexy voice crack 😳

[@slickwyldeplaysgames635]

Haven't played Clairen, but just watching it seems like he has a huge advantage. How do you combat that "stun" thing he constantly does? What's the counter?

[@o0m9]

You get to choose your DI however you want instead of having to guess. It's also not consistent since Clairen has to get a tipper to activate it.

[@madman4043]

don't get hit

[@spri5819]

Doesn't matter if Clairen can stun because he can't kill

[@AffyMoon]

He's great but his weaknesses are below average kill power, exploitable recovery and trouble against zoning

[@fletcher7589]

do pros use auto run?

[@restlesscentral2692]

Why can’t we get a full version of rivals with every dlc skin stages and characters

[@GalaxyMii]

a "definitive edition" is coming this year doing exactly that. also will be the version for switch :)

[@restlesscentral2692]

Oh

[@toniconge7003]

All the DLC characters are currently only $10 will probably be $15 with Slyvanus. Anyways doesn't seem worth it to make a full edition just yet.

so..these are top players? then why am i fighting god tier ppl online that play like they're bots?

[@ShedScale]

...bots? You mean they beat out your stuff when you try moves? I have a feeling you're pretty new, so people can likely just predict what you're going to do. If you've played against the guys from the video you'd feel how precise and unrelenting they are, it's just a little hard to see when they're fighting against each other.

[@vecystim9102]

its always like that in pro scenes. there is always some non pro's that are better then the pro's but just don't do anything with their skills

I don’t like how similar that character is to Marth/Roy

[@67kingdedede]

Aiden Nelson even though it plays way differently, ok

[@LydCal999]

plays differently or not, they've literally ripped several moves from two already similar characters. The upB and side-smash are the two most egregious examples

[@LydCal999]

it's something i dislike about the game to be sure but this character seems the most egregious to me

[@cacanaynay]

Oh cmon you're complaining the forward smash is the same? It's a sword swipe like there isn't alot of things you can do to make a sword character look different

[@LydCal999]

again it's more than just the F-smash, but just in smash bros alone ike, roy, and corrin all have different F-smashes and they're all from the same series. No excuses, they're just being lazy with the fanservice

[@gokudbz7842]

Smash is better

[@lmao2302]

Imagine going into a video just to say smash is better.

[@treehann]

you maybe have a case if it's melee but definitely none of the others. And this comment is just in poor taste anyway.

[@autisticduck3071]

Thanks Kanye very cool

[@thegoose8663]

Maybe. Depends on which side of the game you consider the most important. Casual or competitive.
