They’re talking about Luigi as if he just got announced as DLC.

[@MrBallsackMan]

Ikr lol 😆 they were surprised when he comboed off of fair

[@Aflay1]

Elegant is really brutal, but honestly, Roy feels more broken. They're both hype af though. Elegant is some kind of beast. I would be shitting myself if I had to fight him.

[@RangoTheMercenary]

Who else is ready to dispel the rumor that DLC is overpowered?

[@g.lether7973]

@@RangoTheMercenary DLC isn’t overpowered, they’re just very different because they’re crossover, which means that some stuff will feel jarring with the usual smash stuff and people immediately jump to the conclusion that it’s broken, even though most of it is really strong, since the design philosophy is at it’s core different the same problems make them worse in other aspects, Kazuya is the best example of this and Joker the worst, sine he’s just really strong

Elegant: Taunt game 1 Smash Gods: So you have chosen to get bodied

[@Aflay1]

Even someone as excellent at disrespect as Elegant cannot escape the taunt to get bodied.

[@mosari3171]

Kola and Elegant were playing out of their minds, but these commentators were incredibly good. Props to commentary!

[@thepunished8042]

Caster asked of kola should be playing defensive and respecting luigis priority skills. Answer is no absolutely not. How you beat Luigi is smothering him. From my experience at least. Find that 1 opening and pressure pressure pressure. It forces him to spam his priority skills (which we saw a lot of here) and that makes him predictable

[@Scythra]

Exactly this!! Because of the pressure of Roy the routine of a brawler like Luigi shows. So you can just predict/react after forcing Luigi to airdodge, zair or short hop nair in neutral so many times you see it coming and react.

[@voodooedits785]

Actually the optimal way of beating Luigi is camping him

[@lmao2302]

[@Eroil]

What a set What A Set (Spoilers) Kola played insane was obvious how exhausted he became from needing to play so many games against Luigi but he did it

[@Aflay1]

I thought he was gonna choke at the end there. It was like All Might vs One for All. Unexpectedly amazing finish from someone so absolutely exhausted.

[@Dougie02]

Man Kola really just asserted dominance on elegant that's a hard loss.

[@jaysibiri]

Dominance? It went to game 5. What dominance?

[@winterlogical]

@@jaysibiri I'm guessing game 5 is what Dev Sosa was referring to? It definitely wasn't a total blowout on either end until that game, then Kola clearly showed the upper hand.

I swear I've seen this match before and I'm sure if the algorithm gods recommend it, I will watch it again.

[@copperdan1275]

Kola’s Roy is so scary to watch 🥶

[@aoeu256]

Elegant can start "the combo" from grab, zair, fair, dair, nair, and u-tilt.

[@SaturnSnapple]

1:36 Yes you’re indeed wrong about that. Even if you shoot it off the ledge, you have to be airborne first for the move to have a hitbox. Which is why Luigis jump at the ledge before firing it off. Otherwise you’d see luigis just spamming grounded grab at the ledge And again 8:15 No, he didn’t, he jumped first and landed with Zair.

[@kingaboninetails1461]

Kola with the Pop off , we'll deserved 👏

[@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx]

Elegant seemed to be taking inspiration from Kiyarash’s combo game, proobly after his recent success for qualifying into smash world tour. Elegant did the fair, nair, down air, up air and the down throw into back air at the side of the stage, both things I haven’t seen from elegant but a lot from kiyarash.

[@wheresmyshield176]

Ever since I've first saw kiyarash gameplay, it was very distinct how the two played. Even watch kiya vs chunkykong (rylan) and hungrybox was like "0 to DEATH WITHOUT GRAB" and he nonchalantly said "you're surprised?" Because he does it quite frequently and consistently off fair.

Roy is easier for Luigi to both combo and edge guard but he is hard to keep out and hard to escape his pressure.

i just realized elegant uses default controls, woah

[@jasonlobo2350]

Default controls its just the way every smash game has been played xD

[@BillytheEntertainer]

@@jasonlobo2350 no, the name tags above the characters aren't just for show, you can use it to save changes to your controller so you don't have to button remap everytime you play in tournament. Alot people change the L button to jump instead of shield, change the c stick to tilt attack instead of smash attack, turn rumble off, etc. The fact that elegant has no nametag above his Luigi (as opposed to the "BETRAYAL" above Kola's Roy) means that he doesn't button remap, which is uncommon at this level of play

[@jasonlobo2350]

@@BillytheEntertainer im refering to how the control scheme is the same for every smash game lol so using no tag its basically how the game has been played since 64 and know on últimate you can turn off tap out of default controls so its even better

Hate to see Elegant going for the grab instead of the UpB when doiing the traditional or modified 0tD especially when it consistently hits Roy easier than other chars and when he has like low risk high reward because of him having below 50% where he won't die if it misses. He should've done it I think then he would've won

[@jacobtepper4454]

Why is that commentator so convinced that luigi's ZAIR can be used on the ground? It has air in the name of the move for gods sake

Elegant makes it look that way. That's how quick he is. It's basically zground without the grab. Luigi is weird af.

[@zacharyh5419]

@@Aflay1 Luigi is hype to me. Something about watching swordies play makes me want to vomit

[@Aflay1]

@Zachary H I thought they were both pretty hype personally. Luigi has tools that can make him a nightmare of patience to battle or even watch, but Elegant is particularly flashy and intelligent with him. He doesn't just spam. He does things no other Luigi player does. Meanwhile Kola is so amazingly talented with movement. He moves impossibly fast with Roy, and Roy is the sort of character that needs it. He's not like other Swordies who can camp or bait their opponents. Roy has to work for those combos and then pull them off. I know people who think Luigi makes them want to vomit, but I personally appreciate both play styles. It's hard to imagine a game like this exists where characters like Luigi and Roy can go toe to toe with different tools and movements and still seem like a fair fight. I can think of maybe one actually. This matchup reminds me of Puyo Puyo Tetris. The Roy player is at a slight disadvantage, particularly because combos and punishes come easily to Luigi, but if Roy play perfectly, there is little the Luigi player can do except pray they mess up.

[@tramafilmsjoserivero9713]
