This Pac-Man is TOP 5 IN THE WORLD

[@yosma6]

11:49 To be fair, Glutonny even admitted on his stream that he knows perfectly the pac-man mu, unlike during his past 2 sets against Tea. It’s just that, for him, there a lot of things that no other pac-man than tea know (which isn’t the case for a lot of the best characters) because yeah he’s godlike. He also added that tea is for sure a top 5 level player, and that he might be the best japanese player, but we’re not seeing it rn because pac-man is still not as constant as zackray’s characters (pretty interesting perspective). But yeah globally both players are REALLY good at this game and they will keep grinding in the ranking even more

[@dj_senf6741]

Can you talk about Leo’s Byleth now that he’s won offline

[@kerrickfanning6910]

That would be so awesome

[@Jackaljkljkl]

He literally said that he wasn't interested in talking about Byleth in his video that followed Summit. However, many other top players were very dismissive of the Leo/Byleth combination prior to Riptide, so he's not alone there.

[@PlayingWasted]

Lmao

[@kerrickfanning6910]

@@Jackaljkljkl But in Summit, Leo almost never used Byleth in high-pressure, high-stakes sets. Once Leo was in losers he stopped using Byleth completely, so basically there was no point in talking about Byleth because Leo never really used them that seriously. However, at Riptide Leo used Byleth a lot more, and in the highest stake matches he had, his two rematches against Tweek, he went Byleth every time. I think that makes MkLeo's Riptide Byleth a lot more interesting and worthwhile to talk about.

[@PokePhan]

I loved that everyone dismissed Leo’s Byleth as an online gimmick just for him to reverse sweep Tweek. He’s demanding respect whether people acknowledge it or not 😂

No he most likely just pressed A at the perfect moment. You can catch items right before the hit box collides with your character. Within 3 frames is what I concluded.

Hi ESAM, what's the song that's played right around 18:41 in the video? Bro that song actually slaps.

[@ykahlil1501]

How did he throw the bell forwards? >.< I can't find answers anywhere

[@imESAM]

? what do you mean

[@peace4433]

Like...catching it and throwing it? Or just the hydrant water pushing the bell?

[@cadhla2989]

I'd assume it's about when Tea threw the bell at same time hydrant shot water so it got flung mostly~ straightforward. Which, is exactly how, as said here. It's timing/positioning with hydrant.

Ohhh thank you so much. Little buzzed and completely missed that lmao what a god

[@geranardglory8236]

tea fought leo once in frostbite 2020 and almost got leo out of the bracket(he caught a mistake from leo but unfortunately fsmashed a little bit too late and got killed, if he hadn't missed it he would be the winner), and according to his recent records, he has the potential to be top10 for sure.However, tea admitted that he has trouble against top angies players like shuton in his own country, and top jp players know how to counterplay pacman well. His record against shuton is 2-9 and alomost never beats shuton's angies while streaming, and he got destroyed by zackray in kagaribi 3, lost to ken in swt online.There's no pacman player better than tea, so those pros except from japan are lack of the chance to study the only top pac main, so it's not surprising that tea will be dominating when going oversea. But if he fight again with leo, or against spargo, it's hard to say whether tea will win the match

[@zanioxl4678]

his record against shuton are all vs olimar. 2nd, zackray only destroyed him game 1, Tea threw game 2 but destroyed him game 3, game 4 was still very doable even if he lost, and he only lost to ken cuz it was online sonic lmao, look how he beat him here now that it's offline

[@geranardglory8236]

@@zanioxl4678game 2 as a timeout winning that is the key to the result of winners final can't tell anything, cuz the damage of ken and tea were so close, both of them knew how to counter each other well, and both are unwilling to fight against each other's characters, it's just a fifty-fifty situation.But obviously tea knew warrio's player better than ken, that's why he dominated temple.I mean, the mus between players acutally exist, so if one day tea beats leo or other tops, that's just a matter of difference between competing environments and knowledge of pacman play, yet jp is doing temporarily better.
