I know everyone is talking about Wolfey, but I just wanna bring to attention what a killer duo Aaron and Rosemary are. They've always knocked it out of the park, but they really outdid themselves this weekend.

[@chance6754]

Nah fr though. They both did phenomenal, really gives a sports like feel when theyre calling the matches. Good insight and great energy that keeps you from feeling bored.

[@idowhatiwant3557]

Wolfey is nothing but ego, he doesn't make his own teams and has groups of people that help him compete. Where most of these other players don't have that. Take all that away from him he is still a good player, but I doubt he would perform nearly as well as he does.

[@lukijez]

@@idowhatiwant3557 Not only do all of the high level players create teams in groups, a lot of the mid level players do as well. You aint slick, you're just ignorant. Also Wolfey has been very outspoken against the inequality newer players face over experienced players with connections, its no like its his fault that things work the way they do. Also my comment isnt even about Wolfey its about the castets so what are you even talking about

[@loudwhispre9406]

No hate to them, but they dropped the ball *_HARD_* commentating that game 3 between Stephen Mea and Arbin Tumaneng. Talking about Arbin's Arcanine-H wanting to tera Dark to avoid Earth Power, when *_turn one_* Arbin terastalized his Flutter Mane. Then they were surprised that Arbin locked Choice Band Sucker Punch on Urshifu-Dark instead of Wicked Blow. That turn, Stephen still had 1 turn of Tailwind left, and his Flutter Mane had Protosynthesis speed. If Arbin didn't go for Sucker Punch, Stephen gets a double knockout with Dazzling Gleam on Arbin's last 2 Pokemon and wins the game on the spot. Arbin literally had to go for Sucker Punch or he would lose instantly.

Aaron’s casting is still phenomenal, never fails to get me hyped

It was so heartening to see all the people rooting for Nicholas over the course of his run. Say what you will about gen 9, but it's been an incredible environment for new talent in VGC and that just makes me happy.

In finals game 2 he played really really well. Really loved that game

[@darkhorseash4337]

Love Aaron Zheng's casting. His excitement of the game always hypes me up during the matches!😂

That "WICKED BLOW" call during Day 2 of Worlds in Wolfe's match was incredible.

[@lOI0IOl962]

@@matthewbermudez4061 you’re taking this too seriously. I don’t disagree with you, just commenting on how hyped Aaron makes moments where there is literally no other play to make that has a substantially higher chance of failing than succeeding like 3x protect in a row.

[@lOI0IOl962]

@@matthewbermudez4061 I think a better example of your statement is when nick used ivy cudgel instead of wood hammer failing the knockout. Twitch chat couldn’t understand why he “threw” but Aaron immediately explained ogerpon goes down from recoil and his opponent wins thus invalidating the “threw allegations”

[@Connowot387]

If I had a nickel for every time Wolfe Glick won the biggest regional in their respective seasons in a different year, I would have two nickels, which is not much, but it is weird that it happened twice. Got to meet Wolfe last year in Fort Wayne, and I had a fantastic time! :) Also competed too!

Absolutely huge debut for Nicholas! I can see a Wolfe Rizzo dynamic coming out of this weekend.

[@danieldelta2464]

Congratulations to Wolfe, been watching these since his 2016 Worlds win and it's been a great experience. I've been studying through all the teams and hopefully I can compete one day

[@matthewbermudez4061]

Wow what a great Grand finals. Shoutout to Nicholas, he played the crap out of his first day 2 and top cut. Wolfe played out his mind all weekend. World champ diff came in clutch.

[@lOI0IOl962]

Blood moon getting such great results in a tournament is so cool. Definitely my favorite mon to watch throughout the tournament. The tera normal hat goes dumb hard too

[@Endershock1678]

Blood Moon proved its prowess because unlike normal Ursaluna, it doesn't need Trick Room to be an absolute menace.

Wolfe was straight cooking all weekend

[@matthewbermudez4061]

Out of body out of mind play. I finally get the world champ diff jokes.

[@TheConvectuoso]

He was so in control every time I saw him on stream. Also, I think honestly instead of going for off beat teams (which I has helped and hindered him, but mostly hindered in this Gen), he went with straight up good stuff, and it paid off big time.

[@daphenomenalz4100]

​​@@TheConvectuoso tru, like most of wolfey's wins are with wacky teams 😂 that just break through opponents by having unpredictable strats or just too bulky to take down and he wins.

[@ShinyGroudon]

Wolfe has worked so hard the past years, let this be the year he brings home his second world championship!

[@nereajanssen]

Aaron and Rosemary, what a combo!!!

[@stevenbleich1390]

I think Aaron and rose commentating together is the cutest thing and they have the best synergy lmfao I love the competitive community of pokemon

[@reapingsalvation7353]

Aaron's casting is amazing, never fails. Incredible I got to listen to him cast Wolfey's games, they've done so much for the community and seeing them in this sort of duo dynamic of player/caster is awesome.

[@GoGoSqueezeWorksToo]

5:17:53 Zheng is such a hype commentator

[@Rawrmuffin0]

I was gonna say he gets so hype for top 16/8/etc but he do be getting extra hype for day 1 too 😂

[@slicepizzapie]

That was one of the most crazy games I've seen in a while tbf

[@DuskDawnVGC]

Nicholas did a great job in his game esp in game 2. You gave Wolfie a heart attack there. But it's Wolfie so it is expected that he has big adjustments to your lineup.

Facts, locked in Wolfe is different

[@finnafishfl]

He wins with those too

[@vbarreiro]

The fact that he brought Incineroar and Urshifu, but also Farigiraf and Flutter Mane, shows that there is now balance between Dark Wolfe and Good Wolfe… …For inside you, there are two WolfeyVGC’s

Man, Wolfe is so freaking humble, I love it! He's my, along many others, favorite for a good reason. He never minds helping people learn how to play well and is always so well composed and professional, congrats bro. All time GOAT and I feel like he will continue to tear up competitive play until he has a record no one person will ever be able to surpass.

[@samrahman2973]

ironically if GF would have brought back Tapu Fini like they should have, incineroar would have been even more of an easily countered pokemon. Tapu fini shuts down burns and Parting Shot, and walls the hell out of incineroar's attacks.

[@daphenomenalz4100]

Wolfey knows how to not burn out himself and that's why he has been the most consistent players since the vgc format began!

[@Alex-vm6ef]

It was right for Wolfey to win the biggest regional ever, though a newer player like Nicholas winning could've been the start of a great storyline, something i feel is somewhat lacking in VGC as someone who is also really into competitive SSBM

[@YoJoRockThaBeat]

Nicholas literally would of won Game 3 if he had just Tera'd the Ogerpon and then clicked Follow Me lol. The Ursaluna was a sitting Target all 3 games. Nevertheless, congrats to the Kobe Bryant of VGC, Wolfey has done it again.

[@lOI0IOl962]

Mind games go crazy. Wolfey was absolutely correct when he said they were forming a meta in their games. They played to game 3 all 3 times. 6 of those matches were today!

[@Endershock1678]

Sort of, but at the same time, Ursaluna does not feel as oppressive without the tera.

[@YoJoRockThaBeat]

@Endershock1678 He doesn't, but having Ogerpon live for a couple more turns or two could of really of added a different dimension. For one, the opposing Farigaraf would have had to be more nervous. Nevertheless, we will never know now.

[@Endershock1678]

@@YoJoRockThaBeat I think he was scared Wolfe would go for the play he did in game 1, where he switched out and protected Ogerpon. If he had protected and swapped in Urshifu, who would have lived without Tera, and that play would have been disasterous, and Wolfe would have a free surging strike into Ivy Cudgel next turn which nothing can switch into.

[@lOI0IOl962]

@@YoJoRockThaBeat nick had players like Justin tang and Jeudy working through the openings with him. That with his 6 prior games of experience played, there’s no way it was overlooked.

Too bad this lowers his chance to come to Indy and give the fans the showdown everybody has been wanting to see between the Bo1 Elite veteran, OG of the franchise and purist with playstyle Unpredictability (This is my signature style) vs the Bo3 Elite younger/non-OG whose playstyle is far more straightforward. Who wouldn't want to see us face off? Indy will be the only chance of it happening til after Worlds 2005, since NAIC is for TCG this season as I prepare for my Worlds run attempt the following season. Been working on getting better at Bo3 to give me a solid chance, but for now it seems Bo1/wi-fi is still my area based on the results every season in Bo1 tournaments right now.
