A mid tier almost won the biggest Ultimate tournament

When there’s darkness, he’s DaLight, when you’re sick, he’s DaCure, when you’re starving, he’s DaBread. The Former King of NY himself, ‪@DabuzSSB‬, was able to use his veteran experience to make the run of the event at Super Smash Con 2023 and propelled Rosalina farther than anyone could have ever expected.

This was the first major I've ever gone to, but being in the crowd and hearing everybody in that venue be behind Dabuz was something else. He is da light

Unfortunately ceo was not classified as a major so he still doesn’t have his win. He is currently 0-13 in major grands

[@freddiesimmons1394]

[@BluePi3142]

“[KEN] plays how twitch chat thinks Sonix plays” is a perfect quote

[@Vondakay]

I really liked at 3:30 when they explain Dabuz's strengths and how he has mained on top of the younger competition for so long

Dabuz kinda cute, Dabuz kinda clean, Dabuz kinda lookin like the man of my dreams

[@whit38]

i love getting baked and watching dabuz sets because you can really appreciate how surgical he is

[@skayakitty625]

I'm traditionally a melee fan but I absolutely love these Ult videos. Your Melee videos are like a polished espn highlight segment and tournament overview. Your Ultimate videos are a cut above that, diving deeper into analysis and dissecting gameplans and playstyles and I cherish that. Keep up the good work 💕

[@MeesterTweester]

It's worth noting that Luma is 100% player-controlled unlike Nana Great overview of Dabuz's run! I am liking your Ultimate videos in addition to Melee.

[@sselcho]

“Ken plays like how twitch chat thinks Sonix plays” 😂😂😂

Appreciate the Ultimate coverage walt, I'm mainly a melee viewer so it's nice to keep up with Ultimate easily through your vids

[@KeydriaTheMage]

At 8:12 Hungrybox shows off his absolute power levels by popping off in the crowd for Dabuz's victory. There will never be another HBox.

[@kr0n580]

I dont even play Smash but your videos have been popping up in my recommended lately. always love the storytelling

[@jrodd13]

Dabuz looks like he could be Hunrgybox's cousin lmfaooo

[@lasagnahog7695]

Dabuz seems cool. He's super hyped for his wins and not salty about his losses.

[@shady8045]

This video made me realize how intense dabuz's pop offs are. I had no idea tbh, in fact I barely remembered how he looked, but now idk if I'll ever forget lol.

[@kalarse]

Gotta love how Walt used one of the pastas, excellent stuff by the writing team

[@mio96.]

The script for this video was excellent, highly recommend continuing in this style. Well done 👏🏽

[@matchboxboom]

Love to see one of my favorite smash content creators covering one of my favorite players

[@curlypressure]

2:56-3:52 thank you what ive been saying for a long time a lot of players cant or dont want to put the work in to adapt, top players included. they eventually become washed. dabuz been playing longer than them and still outplaces bc he actually puts the work in. and im not even a dabuz fan just seeing things how they are.

[@wowie5033]

I know you've already done one for the last summit but some form of an Ultimate JV5 would be super fun to watch!

[@purklank]

i can never catch the full events when they happen so these videos are so informative about stuff i missed throughout the year and the event itself. great vid as always, keep 'em comin B)

[@Nico-xq9vn]

Would never have expected a Jahlil Okafor reference in a smash video, game respect game

[@creamthephoenix]

really cool to see people finally cheering for dabuz in ult, especially since his character was seen as really cheesy in smash 4.

[@ezmoneyy149]

You definitely have much knowledge about ultimate and we love your ultimate content so don't stop doing it

[@loganowens623]

Marss streamed playing all of Pikmin 2 back in like August? and Olimar, the MAIN CHARACTER OF THE GAME HE WAS PLAYING, had his name banned in chat

[@beesus1412]

i'm glad he's finally getting some appreciation after getting so much shit for playing the "lame" characters and playing patient for so many years

[@musicmashups]

13:04 Theres no way Miya's #2 above Spargo, people forget that Miya also got a 49th and a 13th this season at Kagaribi #9 and Umebura SP9. And unlike Spargo he doesn't have two P-Tier wins and a 5-0 set record on the #1 ranked player. Acola and Spargo are still solidly #1 and #2 with no danger of either of them dropping any further.

[@shari2383]

Do you still think this?

I need a vid on the dd v sonix set. Prolly my new fav set of all time.

[@Yokai_Yuri]

Even though Rosa and Luma are mid tier, she has high tier/ top tier stuff built in her kit.

[@problemsnearyou8899]

Agreed . Good awareness . I think the things that bring her down is when Luma isn’t by her side & her size+movement . Can still be scary though

[@angelvega5876]

Rosa is one of the most interesting characters cause I swear even in pools I feel like I never see any other Rosas. Is she hard to play?

[@KevSB07]

@@angelvega5876easily top 5 hardest characters

[@Mr__Jack]

Rosa with Luma is a genuine top tier character. The problem is when she’s losing Luma or the opponent is able to work around him. Dabuz is very good at managing Luma and keeping him around, thus Rosa is able to bring him success. Honestly, the character works the way she was designed. Who’d have thunk?

[@KevSB07]

@@Mr__Jack rosa with luma is FAR from top tier. Don't get me wrong, they have advantages when together and she'd be a better character if luma never died. But they'd still have huge weaknesses in neutral and disadvantage.

[@Barcasaur]

The fact that Steve isn't banned from every single tournament is a laughingstock

[@Jinju___]

Saying ken plays like how people think sonix plays is so accurate. Sonix is legit Dina asf to watch but Ken camps like a mfer

[@PerryAIIen]

Always love your content Walt but a little strange you didn’t have Marss’ 1st place Genesis 7 win over Leo on his stat sheet but instead chose to include his 25th place at G6 and 9th rank at G9. Any particular reason for that? Just curious.
