[@StephenStephenStephen]

did you know Smuckers was playing like a man possessed?

[@GetOffMyLog]

No, but did you know he's playing like a man possessed?

[@bunnyofthesea]

Those Scar jump up airs looking optimal, Wizzy take notes

[@ssjmura1654]

Nice combo video.

[@WhatFoolify]

What the smuck just happened

[@HuyNguyen-vj1uw]

And zain just got smuckt up

[@Flip-a-dip-dip]

What the smurf?

[@KemicalKiddMUSIC]

smuckers utilization of the wall jumps are so good. I don't even see johnny or wizzy doing those. Would be sick if they start using that tech more.

[@gabrielpraslin9576]

KemicalKiddMUSIC that shit was optimal af

[@LeoxSevered]

10:26 i think this is the coldest stock ive ever seen in my entire life

[@swerveondeezhoes959]

a 16 minute grand final set where the player from losers doesn't drop a a game. wow

[@nathansorese1954]

it's called a 6-0 and its fucking beautiful

[@chred2akrisp]

This is some of the best falcon recovery I've ever seen. I was more hyped for this than almost any match from Genesis.

[@Kimjoelun]

Sometimes you just gotta watch this video to remind yourself that even gods can bleed

[@cz19856]

had to go back and check the SSBMRank of this year omg

[@emilywaves]

15:59 is best recovery

[@SquashGoblin]

amazing ledgedash

[@gabrielpraslin9576]

Side b ledge sweetspot ledgedash grab

[@mdunce6618]

Man, I don't know what it is but I really like Captain Smucker's name. Captain Smuckers Captain Smuckers Captain Smuckers JAM

[@edsoncharlotin8755]

Smux recovery has been amazing forever now , it’s cool that everyone else is now seeing it

[@VaffReverie]

never heard his name... cant believe he can 6-0 zain... amazing job, smuckers

[@patoa3481]

Vafflin never heard his name? He was one of the rising stars of 2017 and it seems he's only getting better. He's also ranked pretty high on the MIOM

[@gnartastickid]

You dont watch much melee if you dont know him. Not hating just saying he's been around.

[@gnartastickid]

He had rhat famous set where matdotzeb got suuuper salty

[@silverwarrior461]

gnartastickid That sounds like every set with Mattdotzeb

[@BmanNintendo]

He came to one of my tourneys once 4 years ago and placed 1st, but I didn't get the chance to play him in bracket. A missed opportunity.

[@alvaros2741]

This guy just 6-0'd the guy who has taken out leff, sfat, chu, and almost wizzy.

[@bigredog100]

Alvaro S Yup. Everyone has their demons.

[@Glacinite]

Obviously his weakness are Falcon mains lol

[@bigredog100]

Glacinite Not really. He almost took out wizzy at Genesis, who is ranked waaay above Smucks. Smucks playstyle completely counters Zain's playstyle here.

[@midocrimsonfate1948]

Thats not how it works bud lol he did beat zain and zain is really freaking good. So I think Snickers could beat leff, or sfat? Ehhhh....

[@jeremymedley7342]

And mango

[@nanabinaruto71546]

He made a statement right here lol, amazing games from smuckers ! I hope he'll follow the steps of the 3 top 20 falcons ! :)

[@TheChikleMasta]

Smucks is the 5th best c falcon in the world, but he is actually close to being the fourth best (which is a spot held by Ghatzu) since his recent tournament placings have been better than Ghatzus in 2017 and 2018

[@Hope4NewDay1]

Fastest 6-0 I've ever seen. From the time of the video it looked like this set might've went to game 5 on the first set.

[@kickitsmooth]

This whole set was Zain fishing for dashdance grab and getting punished for it.

[@GustoFormula]

still a banger

[@bobbybill1773]

Hands down best falcon playing ive ever seen. This is currently the best falcon playing to date fuckin period. Zain isnt adaptable. Falcon is the pure heart of melee and the best character in the game; no one but smuckers had the nuts to dig and find that truth. You have to earn the win with falcon. Guarantee smuckers has worked harder and suffered more losses but is stronger for it. Zain and any marth or fox player for that matter fool themselves into a false sense of skill by getting easy wins with vapid flowchart playin. Zain is a fuckin fad. Smuckers is unlocking some magic. Youll all see. This is just the beginning of the end for the old meta. 2018 ho! Fuck zains flowchart weak ass marth bullshit forever. Ya done.

[@leightonivy]

LMFAO I love it

[@patoa3481]

Well coming back to this set I think Zain is the one who has the last laugh. Right now he is arguably top 3

[@toontownveteran]

lmfao looking at this comment in 2024 is so funny

[@ShawnsEPIC]

4:45 amazing recovery

[@bigdrefromthebay6475]

Best falcon recoveries to ever do!

[@dmitriivanov3439]

Smuckers is a beast!

[@birrymays]

Smuckers played out of his mind that was so beautiful to watch

[@_Majunior]

I love it's always Sunny in Philadelphia

[@antoniolopez9948]

Smuckers coming alive in 2018 #TheGang

[@TylerWoodby]

Fredrick needs to be stopped

[@VAIS2show]

6-0 'o'

[@squidfather]

Smuckers is putting other falcons on notice. He has extremely good mixups, and his recovery is impressive. If he can get a tech chase punish game like Wizzy, he could make some noise against some top 10 players.

[@snocoldman]

The recoveries and crouch canceling by smuckers was craaaazy.

[@im_Spade_]

Can we all please lower our heads and have a moment of silence for the unfortunate event that has befallen our brethren Shy Guy at 4:32.

[@DynastyTragdyzZ]

one of the best falcon sets everrrr

[@KyleJFalcon]

6:56 Look at Zain's face after the edge cancel dair, up air to knee. You're welcome

[@midocrimsonfate1948]

Zain is a man DEPRESSED

[@cross25011990]

This cf goes on it! awesome set / great to watch btw :)

[@nicholaswomack9027]

How does a player manage to look so good and yet so bad at the same time

[@bearkun6414]

Zain must reduce his habit of overchasing when his opponent is in high percent. It always backfires when he overcommits..

[@Thecreeperboombox]

is that bobby scar??

[@CaptainKnee]

Smucked Up Vol. 2 Video will be make from this match lol

[@IntySSBM]

Zain looking more lost than Smuckers looking found. Really odd CC interactions all set long.

[@Dannyqw1]

Destruction

[@Xalashaska]

That wall jump up air to knee made me squeal

[@tzeng]

I'm surprised Zain kept doing his "dash dancing near the ledge" stuff, C.Smuckers had obviously a read on that since he got tricked by it at the very begining of the set. Maybe he is more a flowchart player, I mean he looks like he has solid gameplan against some characters like spacies obviously, but maybe he has still troubles adapting withing a same set ?

[@vddxr7240]

TWO QUICK ONES

[@kkokay4]

Zains really gotta work on his edgeguards against falcon. He falls for the fade back everytime, I noticed it against wizzy as well.

[@LimeCultivist]

Wow, smuckers goin crazy

[@pearceodegard582]

Raptor boost is broken

[@joelweber9900]

This is the shit I like

[@bobbycorwen4239]

Get Smucked On.

[@iamdirectlybehindyou]

Destroyed

[@CheapShotFail]

This set looking like Isai that one time when he was possessed by the holy ghost and bodied Ken.

[@uchihamadara6024]

Is that the smurf?

[@gabrielpraslin9576]

15:59 optimal Side b ledge sweetspot ledgedash grab

[@Kudosute]

Smuckers just smucked up Zain.

[@ryan_ford522]

Holy shit

[@Huedtunes]

With a name like smuckers he has to be good

[@SleepyDonnnn]

So could anyone tell me if Zain is just bad with falcons?

[@master_productions]

God damn

[@scythermantis]

G E T S M U C K E D U P!

[@ElDrHouse2010]

Damn Zain looking like a scrub in this one.

[@andrewhickey1818]

Whata show

[@infamousenrique5316]

Smuckers better than Wizzy confirmed

[@joelweber9900]

6:39 where the fuck u goin

[@LordShiKo]

WOAH

[@Swpb666]

Wow

[@stuna210]

BATMAN

[@gnartastickid]

I thought zain was an easy win because he beat wizzy but im glad i was wrong! Still love zain tho

[@SageofToads]

gnartastickid he didnt beat wizzrobe

[@endternet]

Marth nation :'(

[@ammonstyles5224]
