The World's Best Mii Brawler...Doesn't Combo?

[@imESAM]

Not sure why part of the video is desynced, it isn't in my editing program. Sorry for that (0:45 to ~ 2:30 ish)

[@tpete096]

Thanks for pinning this, I thought it was my internet/computer.

[@bnbronstein]

I feel like this is one of the strangest AND most effective secondary picks ive ever seen in a top 8 bracket. Bloom is so patient it looks like playing a completely diff character than normal brawler

[@jersh7738]

It's because bloom's footsies are absolutely phenomenal. It's crazy how amazing his neutral is

[@yurplethepurple2064]

You gotta be good at neutral to play Bayo so well

[@justalex3880]

I agree with ESAM’s main point of if Bloom added combos to his Mii brawler it would be even MORE scary. And it’s interesting that he doesn’t cause he plays bayo and that character needs the combos. It’s interesting that the bayo combo focus doesn’t transfer to brawler

[@imESAM]

Right??? Thats what im saying

[@ytcmbt2505]

Bayo requires tons of practice, adding tons of practice again can be demotivating

[@SK-df1iw]

At the same time, bayo is a character that also teaches patience since her offensive pressure tools aren't great so his insane patience for someone his age is a bit more understandable

Bloom is known for his insane fundies in europe, in quarantine era and after, he did beat Players like Peli, Sisqui and other top eu reps with random or joke picks. Multiple wins on Gluto, Sisqui and wins on Kome Shuton and aba speak for itself

Gluto has not won offline against Bloom yet. Hard matchup and Gluto’s difficulty to SDI don’t help

[@MarcBrightside]

Watching a neutral-focused, spam-happy, methodical Mii Brawler like this brings to mind Borp playing Sheik in Melee. But hey, a win's a win, whatever works.

[@themightymrpink]

It’s great to seeing more Mii Brawler players in the competitive scene. Bloom4Eva’s Mii Brawler is so good.

[@praisethesun9014]

18:26 I figured it was on purpose to mix up his landing, but he missed the stage entirely accidentally 😂😂😂😂

[@burgerchild]

these sets remind me of when you first pick up a new fighting game/new character and you don’t really know what to look for in neutral and you end up playing very creatively and focused on the other players habits

[@omlett6482]

Take a shot every time esam says "That was a very good dash attack".

[@DuyuCoyote]

Just had the time to watch this whole thing. Really enjoyed seeing the other player's style which seems opposite of most combo-heavy mii brawlers I have seen online. Its always nice to see a player pushing a different style that is still legit. Neutral is so effing important... hard to remember when your stuck on auto-pilot sometimes.

[@BenD_Bass]

His tag is "4jaco" I wonder if he knows a Jaco or if he's a bass player who really admires Jaco Pastorious, a legendary jazz bassist. He died in the 80s though

[@Zx30]

Not a single side B from his Brawler. Amazing.

[@youngfxx8437]

Bro got the Funny Valentine mii respect

[@HyronXVI]

This analysis was super interesting. I always love Brawler content! Also did he ever use suplex at all?

[@aperfectcreation]

He used it once and missed

[@XylessBrawl]

I think the point of running Suplex is that it is a perpetual threat. As a person who used to run Bloom’s build, I agree with ESAM that BDK is simply a better option at high level. Brawler grab is already extremely good by itself and BDK is a valuable recovery tool.

[@rafaelblackman9879]

He puts the Brawl in Brawler.

[@greedo194]

Bloom lowkey top 5 material his fundies are insane

[@minervaselysium137]

i feel that esam is on to something. Mii brawler could be played in so many ways becuse its really flexible and the moveset also changes. in a messed up way. bloom found how much not punishable his dash attack is. i think its directly based on how its bayoneta dash attack sucks. its only the beginning you can tell bloom is working on his mii brawler and its just going to get better. its scary but its good. the meta is evolving. mii brawler has the worst meta because it does not carry any fandom behind it. but sakurai's joke is that brawler is one of the secretly bests. i am only afraid that someone like kurama actually starts playing it. someone who is godlike with combos and its super optimal. that is going to be a problem. Esam is already a problem. I feel that the box is actually limiting esam, Mii brawler is a better mario also.....

[@RurouniiJay]

Mario is better than mii brawler please 💀

It’s plenty play styles for brawler you have mashy patient hit and run and combo offensive/defensive

[@Chillgolfer9664]

It reminds me a set how a Japanese player name Ron who beat a single bracket major against Shuton and Zackery, and his patients was so good.

[@KevSB07]

The l’odyssey set was a lil hard to watch without facepalming because Vikki kept calling the shot put a “cannonball”

[@typhlosion7872]

I think Bloom uses Suplex mainly as a way to make the opponent scared to shield, letting him get more openings in neutral since he doesn't do the majority of the crazy combos

[@carloss7655]

they wont be scared of it when he never uses it though. might as well get the benefit from the other side Bs

[@NadgeyYT]

Ghost from Australia literally won a major with the character

[@omlett6482]

Bloom uses Suplex so little he might as well run a 1032 Brawler

[@RenShinomiya121]

he uses suplex mainly to punish guards though

[@Leoink1]

@@imESAM definitely trying to be 😅, I've noticed what you were saying in the video about brawlers being mashy and forcing combo starters. Sometimes I'm okay with bleeding them to death and just play advantage and it feels a lot of times easier than trying to force kills/combos. Funny thing is brawler neutral so good you will still get combo starters naturally by doing this, but imo neutral is more or less as important as the conversions gained from the combos.
