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 💕

[@quailron1581]

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

[@mydude7876]

the video should've been titled "A mid tier should've won the biggest Ultimate tournament"

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

[@Zeroreaper0.0]

He probably knows it's just a game, unlike some.

[@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.

[@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.

[@mio96.]

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

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

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

[@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!

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@jrodd13]

Dabuz looks like he could be Hunrgybox's cousin lmfaooo

[@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

[@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.

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.
