[@demonellblockstarplanet8312]

@@mariooo88 imagine pretending that pacman is just camping...

[@mariooo88]

@@demonellblockstarplanet8312 Watch closer, watch again and again. You will see that he only engages melee fight when the enemy give him no other options. His playstyle is to drop the hydrant to split the scenario in 2, move away from the target, charge his special and then use it. Then repeat. How do you call that? It's not a zoner because he doesn't force the enemy to stay in a zone. He just protects HIS zone, therefore, a camper.

[@demonellblockstarplanet8312]

@@mariooo88 Of course he does, and that's what he got to do, or else he would actually be a bad pac man ? I don't understand your point saying "if that's the highest level I'm sad" ? What is he supposed to do then ?

[@zackbucheli9]

We knew Tea was a goat, but now Hikaru is looking like a massive talent as well. This was insane

[@chuxnorris919]

Props to Hikaru that dk play is insane. But god almighty the simplicity/effectiveness of the tea sequence @9:12

[@fabianosoriani]

Must be the one of the must fun Smash finals I've watched in a looong time :)

[@zackuattack]

My heart started pounding when Tea was on the verge of losing in the last one. But then that play where he just looped around and sent DK to the blast zone was perfect.

[@darkneokuma1604]

Tea has always been the real Pac-Man reincarnated. Anytime I see him play it feel like what Pac-Man would be in cannon. Let’s gooo!

[@Aflay1]

I'm glad I'm not crazy. Donkey Kong is stupid strong in the right hands, even against the best Pac-Man. Always thought this matchup was in Pac-Man's favor, but Dk mains are on another level. Always whoop my butt. This set was too close.

[@vick7868]

It really was. DK is only +1 for us since he has Hydrant counters and back air. DK can genuinely make it work. Edit: I meant to say +1. We beat DK, just not by a giant amount.

[@tristanconn11]

@@vick7868 dk on smaller maps against pac is kinda scary cause its hard to find a safe window to set stuff up as pacman

[@Fathergoodies]

It’s not the matchup man. Hikaru is has learned his matchups and is just very talented. The matchup is still bad for donkey Kong

[@ohianaw]

@@Fathergoodies Exactly. This matchup still sucks ass for DK but matchups dont matter at this top level. If both players are evenly skilled it can go either way. And Hikaru is cracked too
