SwitchFest 2019 - Rivers (Chrom) Vs. CE | Joker (Samus) Top 24 - Smash Ultimate

[@Scrattah]

I was like “damn, I’ve never seen this Chrom and he really be slappin” and then it showed the players and I was like “Oh”

[@ayar2]

Chrom: poke you, poke you, poke you, poke you, poke you Samus: "after 3 hits" get the hell out. this set in a nutshell.

[@zugzug733]

Finally, a consistently good samus main that’s fun to watch.

[@james_carmichael]

Oo

[@curtisbrown547]

I think joker pulled out plant on town and city because he didn't want rivers to keep downloading his samus and make his counter pick harder

[@eduardorivera508]

That is fuckin GENIUS! wow.

[@mikedynasty77]

I picked up that thought too. The goal being to throw off Rivers from his download and then change up the gameplay on the next two games to force Rivers into a panic/aggression situation when he's down a stock which plays right into Samus's hands. Rivers gameplay went out the window after that Piranha match.

[@danielherrera7362]

Hell yeah let's go Samus!!

Lmao don't take the bait

[@Dai3eb]

Rivers was tilted on the last match. Just playing into every strength Samus has.

[@screenwriter4208]

I wish joker would have pressured offstage every now amd then as a mixup

[@zugzug733]

Eduardo Garcia not samus’s game type really

[@ajw5708]

Youd be surprised she has a decent spike and set of aerial moves and because her recovery is so good she can really be aggresive

[@ayar2]

there was one problem with that, "Soaring Slash", that move has a deceptively good range.

Does anybody know why Joker doesn’t utilize tether grab more with Samus?

[@UmbraVivens94]

i was joking about how Metroid speedruns usually look like lol, you should look one up if you're curious (preferably Super Metroid or Metroid Zero Mission). on the other hand, in case you don't know what Joker did there: he left go off the ledge > double jump towards the stage's wall > walljump > B reversed neutral B charge > and airdodged through Chrom, back into the stage

Shoyo james？

Joker doesn't have any lips😂😂

I guess Dabuz ended up with both his and Joker's rations.

[@grapeeggplant3863]

This guy needs to make up his mind. Is he rivers or shoyo james?

[@Josh_ua]

Its rivers

[@fupalover]

If you know the MU Samus has slight advantage over all swordies.

[@AHGavInDaUSA]

Disagree

[@doobi6343]

All? No. Roy is probably in winning, chrom is about even, and shulk is... unknown, either even or in shulk’s favor But cloud, lucina, Corrin, etc I could see it

[@fupalover]

@@biffyguybiffy6292 he could predict Joker's release.

[@ShuffleAlliance]

Joker's gameplay... All could do was sit on the edge of my seat thinking of that too many (additional) options he had using his missiles (more) and his regular shot (no charge). I think adding the grapple more into his gameplay would improve. Also, this is coming from a seasoned Samus main from Melee who studies Video Game Psychology.

[@HeroC14]

What school gave you a degree in Melee Psychology? 😂 Can you write up a thesis on the effects of salt when someone taunts to getting bodied?

[@ShuffleAlliance]

@@HeroC14 I study the psychology of gaming: how personality manifests in virtual settings, why ppl make the choices they do and how said choices look in real life. I could legit write a thesis on taunting, Melee and the side effects of doing so.

[@HeroC14]

@@ShuffleAlliance That would be interesting. I get pretty salty playing Elite Smash and I try to control it since it directly correlates to how well you play if you get tilted. I love going into the science behind it and try to understand remaining under self control in those moments.

[@ShuffleAlliance]

@@HeroC14 Being a better gamer, and in turn a better person, involves knowing what makes you tick. Once you understand your likes, dislikes, irritations and the behaviors associated with those feelings, then you can really start practicing self discipline. You'll automatically know what's bothering, why it's bothering you and what to do while you're bothered. Being tilted has more to do with understanding how you need to respond to things you don't like.

[@TexteStyle]

Wow bro that is some credibility right here I have no choice but to drink your words
