Please comment your favorite sets! If I get enough suggestions, I'll make a viewers' top 5 video!

[@cerex8089]

Underrated but I think skyjay vs riddles collision GF is a top 5

[@ThugtheGanon]

Clearly Skyjay's best run!

[@Alibaba-id1cs]

I hate that set because Riddles robbed us of a reset that Skyjay had smh smh Writing the script for Collision 2023 recap I just can’t get over the fact that the grands reset would’ve been cinema regardless who’d win in the end

[@jackclay4585]

Guys this is his opinion

[@kanyegrande4312]

Sonix vs Ddee not on here is a crime. Seeing Sonix losing via time out then rage quitting is probably my favorite moment in the past year

[@ThugtheGanon]

Haha the set was so slow it was a real pain to watch , and even though I'm not the biggest fan of watching Sonix because of his game style, having watched his interviews made me actually like this guy who's a hard worker, modest and always pushing himself further up even after winning

[@stereng]

It wasn't really a rage quit, he just knew he wouldn't win in that small amount of time

[@lom1991]

@@ThugtheGanonits good to see someone acknowledge that playing lame doesn’t make you a bad person

[@ThugtheGanon]

@@lom1991 unfortunately this is still not the majority of the opinions

[@sarahsloot2290]

@@ThugtheGanon yeah, samesies! I’ve come to really respect Sonic, if I don’t enjoy his games I appreciate that the hardest worker is getting rewarded. And it’s satisfying when my fave goats overcome him.

[@gedster]

I don't ever see anybody talk about it but VoiD vs Sparg0 at Smash Ultimate Summit 6 is probably this game's best set to happen in the post quarantine era. The old guard vs. the crown Prince in a Sheik vs Cloud matchup that nobody thought would go anywhere near as hard as it did.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Right I had totally forgotten about this set! Could be a good choice for a top 5 upset video

[@yungshmurda_]

this may be a much newer set but sonix vs light in gf this past lvl up expo was amazing ngl my set of the year so far. Also cosmos vs dabuz at glitch where cosmos reverse 3-0’s dabuz with corrin was really cool too.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Right!! Sonix vs Light was amazing and we had been waiting for this one for a long time since Sonix has improved quite a lot since the rematch! I completely missed Cosmos vs Dabuz, thanks for this one!

[@browking8161]

I would have Genesis 7 Marss vs MkLeo GF somewhere on the list. That to me was peak Smash Ultimate.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Right! This one was amazing too and probably among the best pop-offs in Ultimate

[@adamquenano8563]

Great List, I also think the most iconic are: 1.MKLeo vs Tweek-EVO 2019 2.Zackray vs MKLeo-Smash Con-SmashCon 2019 3.Marss vs Leo-Genesis 2020 4.Tweek vs Glutonny-Kongo Saga 5.Light vs Spargo-Smash Con 2022

[@ThugtheGanon]

Nice list as well! Tweek vs Glutonny at Kongo Saga was one of my favorite sets too

[@ianedman9739]

Heres a long list of underrated bangers for people to check out: - light vs toast frosbite 2020 - marss vs kameme lmbm 2020 - leffen vs salem smash con 2019 - quidd vs kola lmbm - raito vs mvd come to papa - dark wizzy vs nick c shine 2019 - fatality vs ned lmbm - tweek vs maister konga saga - lea vs goblin konga saga - sean vs cosmos pound 2022 - skyjay vs fatality smash world tour - hikaru vs tea ufa (or any hikaru top 8 set) - marss vs leo ceo 2019 - dabuz vs riddles ceo 2023 - gluto vs muteace summit - big d vs onin goml - lights entire losers run at smash con fall fest Might add in more as i remember them

[@ThugtheGanon]

Thanks a lot! There're a few I still haven't watched!

[@L0u1s_45k1p]

All the skyjay run at collision 2023 >

[@iridescence7554]

Lea vs goblin set is a based pick. Super intense

[@sarahsloot2290]

Excellent collection of sets! Light/Leo Genesis is in my top 5, Nairo Ganon is too classic! Its too slow for most but Gluto reverse 3-0 Ken is a favorite of mine. Great movie, thanks for stroll down smash memory lane!

[@ThugtheGanon]

Thanks for the nice comment! I didn't think about this one, thanks for the reminder! It was quite an outrageous comeback set!

[@Caw50]

Collision 2019 was my first major, and nairo was my favorite player. Seeing that set against Light live was such an awesome memory

[@ThugtheGanon]

So you where in the crowd in the video? Must have been soooo hype to be there

[@yeetmo]

need more of these vids

[@ThugtheGanon]

Thanks! I might go for a top 5-10 or ranking per year 🤔

[@SN-gv9zw]

for me it's gotta be tweek vs leo at summit 5. it felt like their entire set history pre and post quarantine culminated in that set with tweek preventing the reverse 3-0 in one of the most heart racing game 5 sets in ult. and to top it off, it being in losers round 2 for top 8 signified another step into the new meta that was setting in.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Quite an amazing set and also marking the end of Tweek losing to Leo

[@iliya1933]

I was rooting for Leo to win Evo, and it was extremely hype at the moment of the bracket reset, but the second set ended up being very underwhelming to me. We basically watched Tweek lose six consecutive games, and he seemed to get more and more reckless with each passing game, dropping from and regrabbing ledge without a safety plan against Joker’s options, going for broke with wild moves offstage without being able to recover, etc. There was a while when I was very hyped, but it died down pretty quickly and I don’t care to rewatch it all that much like I do the others on this list.

[@ThugtheGanon]

I'd say, based on the size of the event, and from the Tweek of that time, that it was mostly a mental strength fight. I kinda feel the same about the second set, but still put it here because it's probably the most famous set of Ultimate

[@iliya1933]

@@ThugtheGanon It was definitely crazy live.

[@davesnow6453]

Love all of these sets. And man i miss watching Nairo compete ..

[@ThugtheGanon]

Same, he still seems to be pretty good tho', his Sephiroth is quite sick

[@hieuduong2213]

Nah he a p so he should be pushing P

[@user-fy4bo5zt8p]

Surprised to not see Gluto/Ken at delfino maza. Definitly one of the most legendary set, especially game 4

[@ThugtheGanon]

Choosing 5 sets among so many good sets was hard! Definitely one ot the best sets ever, especially when you realize how hard Gluto struggles against Sonic

[@imsosirius3151]

The funniest thing was, apparently Mkleo was high during his set with Riddles on SWT, which is why he looked like he was goofing off inbetween games

[@ThugtheGanon]

Right I had forgotten that story 😂

[@Carticax4869]

The secret MkFuego's Marth unlocking conditions have been revealed 🙌🏻

[@zexoid2659]

So you're telling me that Kazuya Marth was more 'epic" than ANY of the Ultimate Summit sets?

[@user-cz3cy9mk3u]

Zackray vs Hero at WSF of Kagaribi10 for sure

[@ThugtheGanon]

When Zackray started to pull out the Pit and one of the best Spargoat runs

[@user-nb8ep7oc8d]

海外の観戦勢は日本の大会なんて興味無いんだから覚えてるわけないだろ😂

[@ThugtheGanon]

@@user-nb8ep7oc8d Japan is actually getting much more visibility now that it is considered the best Smash region so things might change in this regard!

[@ItzFrank02]

Light vs Muteace genesis 9?

[@ThugtheGanon]

It was hard to choose between Light vs MkLeo, Light vs MuteAce and MuteAce vs MkLeo, MuteAce was on fire at that tournament, I chose the set with the hardest comeback

[@kribyy7784]

Shuton vs Kome evo 2020?

[@ThugtheGanon]

Good to mention this one! I had even forgotten about it because of the covid period, Shuton's quite an impressive player! I wanted to add a bonus part for the set of Tweek vs Glutonny at the Grands of Tera 2023 (the ending was insane), but the montage had already reached 20 minutes, I might make a part 2 haha

[@Goten40373]

either likes to see light lose or leo win.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Haha I've seen this comment quite a lot, my set preference is biased apparently, but I'm a big fan of both players

[@user-wg1ox4cx9l]

No Ice climbers,Peach,or Mega Man?🙁😢

[@ThugtheGanon]

I've been focusing on the most mainstream sets, but I guess there's a lot of interesting upsets and alternative characters I could highlight in another video!

[@spaghettijeff8920]

Where's Riddles Vs Sonix Collision 2023?

[@ThugtheGanon]

This set was amazing, it's definitely on my list

[@jameswilliams3416]

Guys epic because fundies NA characters

[@william17br69]

funny that 3 out of the 5 are light losing

[@ThugtheGanon]

Haha I didn't even realize it while making the video

[@elfuegomegainvisible8153]

poor light ahahahahahahah

[@ThugtheGanon]

He's one of my favorite players but I didn't realize I only chose sets where he gets reversed 😂

[@pbz7572]

Light losing all 3 times he was on this list lmao

[@ThugtheGanon]

Haha right, I didn't even realize it, he still has one of my favorite game styles

[@fupalover]

You must be a big light fan😴

[@ThugtheGanon]

I like his fast-paced gamestyle, but I didn't realize during the montage I selected so many of his games haha

[@koohm819]

did EE make this list LOL theyre all of leo winning and light losing

[@ThugtheGanon]

Haha EE's pref would be MkLeo > Light but not Kola and Nairo over Light, but true, my first ranking might be focusing too much on a few players

[@lcrflow1516]

Had to spoil a great vid with the nairo jumpscare😢

[@ThugtheGanon]

Unfortunately the montage was already too long I had to make it short

[@zexoid2659]

The leo light set wasn't even epic imo. It was kinda heart breaking.

[@ThugtheGanon]

Heart-breaking for Light but Leo's gameplay that set was out of this world
