The Big House 4 - Westballz (Falco) Vs. Armada (Peach) - Winners Quarters - SSBM

[@kevinshieh9999]

"i think these chain grabs are boring" after being excited for the 5 minute top platform camp. 10/10

[@1brenbot]

"That Fraudulent fox", little did they know...

[@BKGSmash]

Westballz had a plan It didn't work ;)

[@harold4thofhisname.499]

"This is fun!" - Peach, taking Westballz last bit of pride.

[@satchelsguitarshop]

I've never seen West play like this

[@greatestorangefan]

WEsTBALLZ IS THE NEW PC CHRIS, SAME SWAG AND EVERYTHING

[@ThePredecessor]

The amount of disrespect from Westballz during that set, I love it. All those 20XX Shines, the camping, and the random jaywalking at 8:43.

[@scepkile]

The Predecessor Lol what disrespect

[@edwinmartinez7371]

why it look like armada didnt know how to press start after game 2

[@TerraceLuster]

Holy shit, I just realized the irony of what was said at 4:14. Game 4 of Mango vs. Armada in losers semis at this very tournament was a tied and true 3-stock. Now I realize why that game felt so weird.

[@PumpedAaron]

lol, my TO is showing me this vid as an example of people “Playing for fun, not ONLY to win”

[@strabisamus5428]

OOAH FIRST OUTTA STATE TOURNAMENT LOL

[@glassarrows09]

HMW on the mic feels so nostalgic :')

[@mattforbes3670]

Imagine hmw in 2021 then

[@Ayyydan]

With that cam position handshake at the end it looked like armada shook hands with where a coach would be sitting

[@RaulWalrus]

Yo westballz is godlike.

[@connord999]

scar is cool and all but i cant believe he was complaining about the chains grabs when wes camped the platform so hard, that is way more lame.

[@sparkle1princess]

>204% >Still on stage I wish I could do that T_T

[@seminoleseth5718]

Fun how someone who cried about M2K camping the ledge is playing like this

[@tictacufo3326]

One of the commentators sounds like the parrot that Jafar has in Aladdin.

[@AlejandroSantiago-kn6dg]

WHERE YOUR PLATFORM AT?!!!

[@louisxD]

*Rolls up hand warmers*

[@joshualane1716]

10:35 Lol all worried about his hot pockets.

[@matrixxART]

Timer should be 5 minutes

[@TargetHippo]

I feel like it would only encourage more camping.

[@matrixxART]

maybe true

[@animalcompanion47]

The problem with that is some MUs naturally go to 5-6 minutes just because of the characters. Floaty MUs and such. If we shortened the time, those MUs would always just be stalling tactics

[@matrixxART]

Patrick Dunlap If there is a time-crunch, stalling tactics are okay because the losing player must approach. There are no infinite unbreakable stalls, are there? One player always has to be looking to approach if time is an issue, right?

[@TargetHippo]

Andrew Meijer I'm just imagining Sheik players stalling on the ledge for minutes at a time. It's definitely not impossible to deal with; but there's no reason to make that kind of playing more effective.

[@valiante1998]

Isn't Dreamland highly in Peach's favor? I don't understand the counterpick from Westballz...

[@heavycore1]

+valiante1998 He picked Dreamland so he could lame it out on the top platform. Peach cant reach the top platform without using double jump and falco has really good challeneges for when peach is coming up.

[@valiante1998]

+Andrew Wager Oh alright. It's just from experience, me being a Falco user and one of my friends being a Peach user. I always saw dreamland in Peach's favor due to her living longer, and due to the fact that the wind fucks up Falco. But I can see the platform game being in Falco's favor. I just feel like if West wanted to platform game, he should of went back to battlefield...

[@bermansam6]

+valiante1998 My guess is he couldn't because of Dave's Stupid Rule. You can't counterpick to a stage you won on previously in the set.

[@valiante1998]

bermansam6 Yeah thats gay

[@albinbergvall9112]

+valiante1998 No it's completely fair. You wouldn't want to be counterpicked to Final Destination twice in every bo5 set would you?

[@cammro]

the timer is just there as an incentive to do something if you're behind, the amount of time is completely relevant because some matches do have 2 floaties and are on dreamland

[@natewatson6962]

why doesnt anybody ever shine the turnips?

[@naguleader]

too much lag when the shine reflects, not worth

[@jacoblawyer9562]

too much lag. even if the shine works and you short hop wavedash out of it, the person can just catch the turnip again and you haven't moved. easier to power shield or avoid completely.

[@wkavre]

westballz plays so lame these days.

[@Iriscience]

Hes better than hes ever been. He doesnt usually play like this but i respect that he tried something new in acknowledgement that he is playing against a much better opponent.

[@bryce2703]

He probably wanted to go all out and win by any means this set

[@altreon3608]

"THIS IS YOUR GAME?" amazing

[@yayitsethan1]

they were complaining about being a long set 17 minutes before it ended.

[@Birrrrra]

It's a shame wes never got a W against armada :(

[@texRebecca]

sry scar this is not SF

[@nothanksnate]

aMSa, Abate, M2K, and now Armada are my favorite Smash players to watch. I can't find a cheap copy of Melee to play, but I main Peach in Smash 4 and I love watching people kick ass with her. But I think WestBallz did pretty good too, I'm just not a huge fan of spacies.

[@SmashStudios]

UUAA THO?!!!

[@av2279]

Just when you thought watching spacies couldn't get any more boring...

[@FYCxxLeoxx]

I love that first game. I've never seen West do that to Armada and if Scar and Brandon weren't on the mic it would be the worse. But they make that game great

[@IXInfuseXI]

bobby is right, the game should not be 8 minutes

[@Yoshi-zt5df]

Always root for the players not playing spacies. Will always root for Armada and any other Peach mains. Wow this tourney was maybe 30 minutes from me....

[@kaufmanbob]

lol armada is a fox main now...

[@Yoshi-zt5df]

Mr. Tora Tora No, he confirmed he was staying Peach but he is playing fox a little

[@17Rasto]

YoshiYogurt Tell that to Apex... *sigh* depressing, but Armada is now going to be going Peach significantly less. He said, "for weird matchups like Ice Climbers I see no reason to switch." But at this point Armada is pretty much a Fox main with a Peach secondary.

[@Yoshi-zt5df]

yisureadingthis He used Peach every game I could catch at apex last night. Saw him use fox against Hbox only

[@kaufmanbob]

Winners finals against Leffen? Grand Finals against PPMD? He's a fox main now... sorry to tell you

[@WhatThePhosphorus]

heh west coast so aggressive am i right!!!!!

[@TH3R3VOLUTlON]

Hate ppl who play like Westballz.. just hangs out and camps on the took platform.. true test of skills is final destination straight up

[@TH3R3VOLUTlON]

u have a link? couldn't find it..

[@wkavre]

***** oh no.. armada used an even campier character to combat a campy character.

[@wkavre]

***** there's a difference between zoning out your defensive opponent with projectiles and camping the top platform against an aggressive player.

[@kravten7090]

Peach is basically known for her defensive playstyle

[@radkobachvaroff]

is this guy complaining about 5 minutes?

[@GoldenJoe]

Whenever someone says that Smash 4 is too defensive and that it needs to be more like Melee, I will show them this video. 4 straight minutes of platform camping.

[@GoldenJoe]

***** Watch this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpqqc5Jrgat1d6c

[@joeirl]

I watch Smash 4 videos to put me to sleep.

[@jacoblawyer9562]

I get what you're saying, but sm4sh itself is not defensive, it just rewards defensive playing a lot more. And what happened here wasn't defensive playing, he was just refusing to play. If he stood at one side and shot lasers and some how managed to not get punished, then I would agree with you. But I've played too many sm4sh matches where someone just shoots and throws stuff, then rolls across the map once you approach. and unless you are truly smarter than your opponent, they will win from that method. With melee's mechanics even peach could either avoid almost every projectile or at least punish falco when he tries to get to the other side of the map. This was an anomaly, and i think both games are entertaining to watch, but i prefer melee for the reasons stated above.

[@lsmdn2]

To this I reply, dabuz vs abadango. Apex 2015.

[@TomF3463]

GoldenJoe So you need this _particular_ video to prove a point that melee is very defensive Meanwhile, I can choose up to 90-95% of smash 4 videos that have defensive play Therefore, melee and smash 4 are equally as campy and defensive.... yeah sure dude Not that defensive games like smash 4 are bad, it's just not really my cup of tea to spectate; but your argument is very bad if you need to search for a particular video out of thousands of videos to prove a point, so you might as well stop throwing fuel to the fire and be quiet

[@lucazdelion]

This is Kongo Jungle Camp-Stalling all over again, it turns out this time the spacie is stalling. I'm curious about what's going to happen. This is clearly unfair and there is a set of rules to keep the game fair (specially keep the game fair for the spacies). They talk about banning wobbling, mute city, kongo jungle 64 but Pokemon Stadium is there. I think it is time for a more solid set of rules that includes this kind of behavior by westballs here. I wonder what the TOs will do, it seems everyone fears to change some rules nowadays like it's the Constitution of the USA.

[@FishamanP]

If you have radical opinions, you need radical evidence to gather supporters. How is Stadium an unfair stage? How do you suggest we "fix" top platform camping?

[@lastofdafast]

***** QFT

[@xycubed]

So, what, ban Battlefield because it has a top platform? Can I have what you're smoking?

[@Paul_Puma]

It only works because battlefield has such a high platform. Your argument is like saying Marth shouldn't be able to pick Final Destination against a space animal because of the chain grab advantage.

[@lucazdelion]

Paul Niman What's the argument about the ban in kongo jungle?

[@latinobacon]

ARMADA SO HOT

[@ArtemisGlitch]

lol westballz so bad

[@Fynmorphover]

haha awesome first game.

[@giobot]

and people say brawl is boring...

[@joeykelly5642]

Horrible commentary... Are you really gonna complain about chain grabs after Westballz camped the top platform for ages

[@v4extreme]

So many good sets which are so hard to watch because of scar's rambling and yelling. This isn't commentary.

[@Fieryvortex48]

+v4extreme Turn the sound off then, lmao.

[@Fieryvortex48]

Chyo Kun Turn off the volume? Lol.

[@chyo4077]

Fieryvortex48 I'd like to hear to the game volume too, you know

[@Fieryvortex48]

Chyo Kun LOL, that's not necessary to play/watch the game. What a poor excuse. 90% of the time, these players can't even hear the audio of the game in a big crowd like this.

[@v4extreme]

+Fieryvortex48 that doesn't justify bad commentary, if your only defense of this is that the volume can be turned off then you're acknowledging that the commentary is bad... I'd like to watch matches with good commentary.

[@natewatson6962]

boringest match ever

[@Healing_water]

Agreed.

[@joseantoniomarronmartinez2981]

The comentators are annoying.

[@radkobachvaroff]

is this guy complaining about 5 minutes?
