Villager sending back the mine cart is so satisfying.

[@lumiiiowo]

bro after the kept head shake he turned on the beast mode damn

[@jasonpettet3825]

what a war felt that was a bad matchup for vil but managed to get it done. kept is a beast!

[@PlagueDrHK]

Even

[@BK_Ben_FTW]

You need to plant tree against a stack of three stone or wood blocks. It's faster than the loid rocket spam and forces Steve further in the corner. Loid as tree is falling. Then you know they want to minecart to get center or to the other side and can catch those panick options. Using tree in neutral is super viable against Steve. They're used to wiff punishing everything because theyre tilting you while mining. Steve's also fall for tree shield break set ups because they want those out of shield combos on you super hard. Probably less viable for competitive but yolo it'd be funny.

[@thadream_13_10]

Interesting matchup, I like how as vill you can negate cart by throwing it back immediately. Also the game plan is “let him dig” I’ll just shoot stuff. Shrude but effective.

[@theilest33]

As a Samus main I don’t mind the Steve matchup either, but I’m only between 7/9mil gsp

[@andrewobrien658]

do you mean "crude but effective?" Not trying to be a smartass I've just never heard "shrude"

[@boukman3668]

So this is what Hikaru does when he is not streaming chess.

is that really the same hikaru?

In last tournament he attended he still using Roy

@@bingchii-ling9393 yeah I thought he was a Roy main

[@bingchii-ling9393]

He was a Donkey Kong main for about two and half years since this game came out, and then more Roy mains started getting success and he have tried to pick it up, got some wins against Zackray shiek. He still played DK last month in a 3v3 tournament

I think Steve a little bit broken. This vill just looks like a better player. And this might just be a good matchup against Steve. Pocket seems to work well against cart.

[@skoolwifi3835]

Kept has played Villager and Isabelle for the last 3-4 years vs this guy's Steve for maybe a year or so. Big difference in character mastery

[@typhlosion7872]

Matchup inexperience and Hikaru hasn't played much Steve. Don't get me wrong, the character definitely isn't anywhere close to banworthy, but he is broken, like many other characters.

[@xanander4693]

If the Steve doesn’t know the mu then yeah, but it’s definitely even.

[@waluigihentailover6926]

So because Steve is op, then he can’t lose?
