This was an awesome episode, maybe because it was a discussion off the back of a tournament that wasn't all about results. My god Charles went OFF this episode, very interesting to see. He wanted to grab Tweek by the shoulders and shake him. Great seeing the different perspectives. I also fuck with everything Marcus was saying. Truly felt wise (Would have loved to hear more thoughts about Shinymark as that was a very surprising and interesting win)

Chuck listened to the part last week about the FF7 tattoo and came here to kill that idea this week lmao

[@Iso_SSB]

It ain’t a true tweek talks episode if pink ain’t laughing in the intro 😂

[@LtFred]

30:00 It’s literally Riddles first time pulling out Cloud in tournament and Tweek/Pink are expecting miracles. At least Riddles is choosing a viable counter-pick while Tweek is choosing to lose with Seph because “he’s cool”. May be a hot take but Seph isn’t exciting to play or watch plus the character is hot ass. I’ve left maybe one or two comments over the entirety of the podcast’s existence so far but I just can’t agree with Tweek’s or Pink’s mindset at all here about Riddle’s Cloud.

[@Royges]

I feel your pain Charles, I really feel it.

[@pothos489]

33:50 charles is RAW for laying it out like that

[@Slarti27-gy1xj]

My gawd I lmao when Tweek said yikes to choosing ego over life. Real talk, Charles is my twin in the way he views competition - almost my twin. 100% when pro players choose certain routes, they are choosing joy over winning. They can try things at lesser tournaments. On big stages, if they avoid Nairo's choose-to-lose characters, I immediately temper my expectations. I don't expect them to win or assume they wanna win above all else. When Tweek chooses Sephiroth, I change from watching for the win to watching to enjoy his playstyle. For Leo, same thing. I just enjoy watching him and assume he's riding out Ult to see what's next. It's their life. I just try to enjoy the gameplay.

[@danieldancer4065]

I agree with charles. Seems like leo is just playing for fun tbh. He keeps saying he wants to win but if he really does he would choose logically correct characters. Also about the fun aspect, is it more fun to lose? or win. This was one of the best episodes

[@teddginn1]

to me seems like Leo thinks so highly of his fundamentals in the game that he can win with chars who are not good in the meta. as a leo stan, i personally believe his fundamentals are some of the best in the world. seeing the cracked shi he did when he dominated with joker for a while to his period of winning with byleth to pulling top 8 at a tournament with a debut character like roy support this. that being said, i really do think it will only get him so far. from the period leo dominated, so many other talented players have gotten so much better and put in tons of hours with a single character who are actually meta. light, shadic, spargo, tweek, sonix, miya, yoshidora, acola, etc. leo’s fundamentals and raw talent for the game will not carry him to victory against these players with non meta characters, especially chars he’s just starting to play in the competitive scene like roy.

[@justice8718]

@@teddginn1 The game is way too janky and inconsistent for whatever you say to matter, and Leo knows it. He picked up Roy because he knew that character fits into the new wacky early-kill meta better than Joker.

[@TonyStorm21]

There's one thing I've never understood about what people expect Leo to do, everyone talks about proven/meta characters, everyone's talking about "on paper" or thing like that as if Leo didnt just play whatever the hell he wants and do well with it... since always. Yes he sometimes gives in to the darkside like he did with Sm4sh Bayo but he's a player that has always played what he finds fun first and then ends up redefying the meta on his own, this is specially true in Ultimate, no one cared about Ike, he took him to the peak, no one knew what to do with Joker, he dominated for years, everyone was calling Byleth mid, he dominated with him as well, same with shit like reverse 3-0 Riddles with Marth and picking up Corrin and beating Sonix, he just does what he wants and finds fun, it's been that way since Ultimate released. The real thing here is how much effort and time Leo's willing to put into the character because I have no doubt in my mind that if Leo commits, like really commits to Roy, his entire meta/MU chart will change and we will see some crazy shit, Leo's never been an "on paper guy" during Ultimate, he's always been the "I'm that guy" kind of player, so numbers, theorycrafting and all that stuff does not matter, he will push any character he wants as much as he wants and then reach peak gameplay or drop it. I dont think a Joker/Roy chart works, at all, but I think Leo's trying to move away from Joker and at this point, it may be the healthiest choice, everyone expect him to play perfectly when he's playing Joker with a character as taxing and technical as him, I'd rather have Leo play something less technical that it gives him the opportunity to play 2 characters at their fullest, instead of 1.5, because we all have to accept that Leo simply is not a solo main kind of player anymore.

[@justice8718]

The funny thing about Roy is that he is a technical character. He’s simply better than Joker and Mythra, and has weird kill confirms that Leo easily picked up on.

[@bibbyboxx2219]

Right? Leo’s success with Byleth should disprove any Roy naysayers.

[@quarium5681]

I like how Charles didnt think of the possibility that Roy isnt supposed to be used in some of these matchups and Leo was just forcing all Roy for this specific tourney in order to train the character for the future.

[@TonyStorm21]

exactly, he basically played vs the top reps of what seems to be 2 of Roy's worst MUs, if not THE worst MUs and yet, he took games from both.

[@AeternusDiscipulus26]

Charles is exactly right on the Cloud segment of this podcast. I hate, hate, hate that Seph sucks. But he does. And if it’s about winning and potentially taking Steve down, Cloud is the right pick to invest in

[@CruelSunSsb]

damn charles was super mad at leo and tweek today lmao

[@ryan_raus]

I think along with being the best, Leo has always thought about good smash. Also I respect him going Roy because we all saw how busted Roy once was and people don’t feel that way anymore, so maybe he’s tryna explore that again

[@Slarti27-gy1xj]

RE: Haz's counter: no, toughing through hard matchups is not analogous to doing shit you don't wanna do but have to do. The key is whether you "have" to do it. That phrase is used for when there is no known, better way to do something. It's shitty work, but you gotta do it. Choosing to do some work in a more difficult manner than required will get you reprimanded in most jobs because bottom line makes managers favor efficiency. Charles can't go to work with a hammer and say everything is a nail.

[@Shadrag]

One thing I feel is important as well is identity. When I think about Tweek I iremember some amazing Diddy Kong clips. He, Leo, Riddles and Kola could all spend time refining cloud but whenever I think about Cloud the first person coming to my mind will always be Sparg0. Tweek is famous for his Diddy Kong, Leos Joker and Byleth are legendary etc - Leo and Tweek are not just players but they have massive popularity based on their individuality. Conforming to the meta and abandoning their style is not something I really would like them to do

[@maxtilden1357]

I don’t think he was saying to abandon Diddy or his identity; just to pick up a better secondary lol dude got double eliminated by Steve 3-0 3-0 at his last big tourney….

[@ueno6437]

The thumbnail is immaculate

[@trombonegamer14]

Pink is so right at 49:48... Even the characters we think of as super broken that everyone should simply pick up are themselves brought into relevance by one particularly successful top player. *No one* was talking about cloud in this way until Sparg0 proved it could be done. Maybe Sparg0 is just good? GnW, no one thought was that good until Miya started doing exceptionally well. Frankly, I still don't think GnW is that good, hes just pretty simple to optimize, and Miya has laid out the gameplan for everyone to copy. But no one was doing it like them before they did it. Even Steve, we havent seen anyone come close to Acolas results with the character. Top players aren't factory workers, they're a lot more like artists or musicians. There's a reason Tweek said he found playing Cloud "ugly". There's a subjective almost aesthetic aspect to this that can't be reduced to simple competitive success.

[@fromjahwluv]

agreed. wanna mention though that maister was top ten in the world with solo gnw lol. he was def the first top player to spearhead the character

[@sippycuppp]

maister put G&W on the map not miya

[@trombonegamer14]

@@sippycuppp yes, but people weren't putting Gnw in top 5 until miya came along

[@biggydrink]

true tweek has said something like this before, I think in some episode or stream about tier lists - basically from what I remember, that there are just not enough smash ultimate players for us to really know the upper limits of all characters, because we don't have like a Skyjay for every character to let us know how good they really could be

[@christiankoll1528]

I've said this before on other videos, but players matter as much as, if not more, than characters. You could theoretically make a tier list based solely on stats: frame data, weight, speed, hitboxes/hurtboxes, etc. It would look a bit different than most tier list, which take tournament results into account. Too many extenuating circumstances to have an accurate list in either case, which is why tier lists change.

[@Vontox]

Full squad on the pod always feels good ❤️ thank y’all for what y’all do

[@Weebfox]

This "listen to your brain or your heart" argument is kind of interesting, but at the same time Im not the biggest on it. You doing anything in your life if you have the choice of two things, one of which you enjoy and the other you dont, why not go for the answer you like. If you only want to win, you have no reason to pick anyone else but Steve. Even his worst MUs are even at worst and his ceiling is infinite with a really low floor, so if we ONLY care about winning, everyone should play Steve People playing *their* characters is cool though and makes for a more interesting game and gives us storylines I respect Chuck and how much he cares but ultimately I do prefer people playing and pushing characters they like, and thats how we see performances like Skyjay, Toriguri and Armadillo popping off with these characters that (at least in one point) were considered bottom 10 Also Tweek's remark about only doing stuff that "looks nice" is the most I have ever resonated with a random notion like that. I love doing cool stuff, it's my reason to play fighting games, so if you take that away, you remove my reason to play

[@bmontane]

Great episode! Loved Charles prodding Tweek and Leo. And then it made Tweek really open up about how he sees the game. Some of it he’s said before, but a lot of it was pretty deep! I agree with a lot of what he said very strongly.

[@fireatack]

41:34 Because of the ecosystem in the Smash community, I disagree that the job of a pro player, in this context making money, is winning tournaments. Its a big part of it, but being Rank 1 in this game doesn't guarantee you to be a appealing pro. An extreme example, probably Gacky makes more money than the four horsemen, or anyone in the top 10. In this ecosystem, popularity is the most important factor for a pro player, and trying the best with a character that is popular among the general viewers, is a not a bad idea.

[@Fpl8646]

Charles is the the best Analyst in Smash imo…. The only reason Leo’s ignoring Corrin is because of Ego/Stubbornness.

[@43idiosyncrasies65]

Chuck going from "I give af about the environment" to "well, as long as you're barbecuing" in like 5 seconds was TOOO good

[@pitybreaker6625]

Also I loved the little discussion that appeared talking about character tryouts. I think it kinda comes down to what people value and Tweek values inspiring Gameplay while Charles values more the victory screen. And while Leo‘s Roy probably had some inspiring sequences, long term it probably doesn‘t bring him closer to the victory screen. However the Riddles Cloud, while arguably being very bland, long term investing into Cloud does bring him closer to a consistent victory screen.

[@hecty8667]

Charles was spitting the whole episode, thats the goat right there

Dang Chuck went full on doomer in this episode. Snake just won a major. Banjo got 4th, and Yoshi got 3rd. The facts simply don't support the idea that you have to play the best possible character to win events.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Snake is one of the absolute best characters in the game imo, like top 3, and I feel like more people will agree by the end of the year. But yes, Banjo doing well(5th not 4th, but doesn't change much) and Yoshi doing well proves the meta has quite a decent amount of variety.

[@trombonegamer14]

@@legrandliseurtri7495 this just illustrates my point I made in a different comment: NO ONE was saying Snake was this good until he had these sorts of results. A lot of people still don't. Isn't it possible that the snake players (really we're mostly talking about Hurt and AK here) are just doing really well?

@@trombonegamer14 We do have several other relevant Snake players, like Dio, Chronos, MVD, Alandiss, ect.

I like Charles argument, and I think he is 100% correct. That said, I think he misses a valuable point. You have to remember the Hungrybox argument of "We have enough data in front of us now, that the educated prediction is that if the large majority of professional players start playing Steve and Sonic, then the large majority of viewers are just going to watch something else. And the simple fact is when they go, the sponsors go." Tweak, as a viewer, thank you for giving us content worth watching. Hope one day you earn the Dub you deserve.

[@pitybreaker6625]

I think Tweek is probably the best fundamentals/tech labber combination we have ever seen in Smash Ultimate, and that‘s why I think he should play Sheik or Mega Man. I think both characters are super broken but require both time in the lab as well as solid neutral. Obviously I‘m not taking into consideration that he has the Motivation to do it, because I don‘t think does. Apart from that I think Toriguri should just play snake or smth that ain‘t fucking Banjo, even if he is finding success with it. Oh, and for some reason I have a feeling that Asimo could go crazy on Wolf.

Interesting Haz runs the twitter I just thought it was Bee

[@abedeacon2984]

I think BECAUSE it’s his career, tweek plays Diddy Kong. I was getting my engineering degree and would have made a killing, but I switched to chemistry because I loved it. I make about half the salary I would have, but I love what I do. If tweek played sonic, sure he might win more. But he wouldn’t enjoy what he does any more. He wouldn’t have passion for the game, it would just be a way to make money. Instead he does what he loves and plays Diddy Money/winning is not the end all be all of competing for someone who treats it as a career. I have to disagree with Charles, it’s because it’s their careers that tweek and Leo should go who feels good and they get enjoyment out of. As long as they can still pay the bills.

[@abedeacon2984]

I’ve done shitty jobs in food service to get by when I need to. I don’t know Charles but property management might be one of those jobs for him right now. And of course there’s a time and place for those! But if Leo and tweek are not in that place and don’t have to do shitty jobs (playing a character they don’t like), I don’t see why to knock them for it. If they were losing in pools all the time and couldn’t pay the bills then they should go Steve. But they aren’t

I assume you mean that it's becuase Tweek and Leo have the talent to go with who they feel good with and get enjoyment out of (and win) that they have careers.

[@CwuLacha]

Kinda hate how we are going down the route of dooming about the meta when there has been a different major winner for every major this year and not a single one played the same character. You can try to argue that they are top tier but that is reacting really harshly to Corrin when she is simply anti-meta. That isn't even going into all the characters that have made top 8 this year. Legit is a super diverse meta with Link and Ike even making top 8 of Kowloon 10. FP2 dooming in the year 2024 is honestly providing nothing to the conversation.
