CEO Dreamland 2017 SSBM - FOX MVG | Mew2King (Marth) Vs. CLG | SFAT (Fox) Smash Melee Grand Finals

[@ShoujaNinja]

I'd like to point out SFAT's good sportsmanship at the end of the set though. It's nice to see that he can still smile and personally congratulate M2K

[@Krab17]

ShoujaNinja he was probably ready to play hbox instead, and m2k usually destroys Sfat (and m2k just plays so weird compared to pew/moon)

[@mikasasukasa4479]

the only other marth that plays anything like m2k is pp

[@SuperSajayin2Gohan]

Chris Maciel Actually not at all. Ppmd is way less grab focused and puts way more emphasis on movement and edge guards. But we haven't seen his Marth against a lot of high level Foxes. Or him in general

[@Jamdog05]

Sfat really seemed salty and he was doing kind of an awkward salty smile

[@Zach-nw9ok]

SuperSajayin2Gohan did you say pp puts more emphasis on edgeguards? Or were you referring to m2k. m2ks m.o. Is grab 50-50 punish edgeguard vs spacies lol. I was just confused because I agree m2k has way more emphasis on the grab and pp is more movement/dash dance based but you lost me at focusing more on edgeguards.

[@MrPickle]

The king is back, again

[@asellape9270]

Mr.Pickle Mr. Pickle Kreygasm

[@abcdefzhij]

He's been back for years, since he was sponsored by Team Liquid.

[@brood415]

Damn that first match with the last stock suicide spike really set the tone for these 2 sets. M2K playing well with his Marth has got to be the most beautiful thing to watch in melee for me =')

[@ShneeMan300]

SFAT is making a name for himself with placings like this. I'm hoping we see this kind of performance from him in the future.

[@ItsMeR117]

Congrats on Mew2King with the tourney win

[@thekingskrux1894]

What a god.

[@oozmakappa6415]

He was so close to the 6-0. So close.

[@albozru1e]

Get Wrecked it would have been Sfat's B

[@Eddy-ost]

He was like, you're not leffen, let me cut you some slack

[@kairekdahl2866]

2:54 I can watch that all day

[@ProlificPops]

Shit was beautiful

[@dr_rl123]

I just realized, when he won Shine he had a haircut, he got another haircut and won this one. HAIRCUT METAGAME???

[@NatePhan]

Maybe the metagame has something to do with removal of hair. Remember that one time Gimr beat Westz?

[@KoiandDragon]

26:58 Haha that camera guy had Vegeta's Badman shirt!

[@fists100]

aye i watch you!

[@samya.2778]

KoiandDragon Are you gonna make a comeback? I really like your personnality and your videos! If not, I hope you love what you do! :)

[@13geeky]

Neutral commentary and it was actually enjoyable. Majority of the commentary this tournament was viable.

[@linebeck1381]

I wonder how many 30 second ads I can get before I finish this video

[@Sweetluckk]

m2k is the scariest when playing that well imo.

[@Thorozak]

Sweetluck even Armada fears m2k on a great day

[@michaelhenriksen7359]

Thorozak Armada never underestimates his opponent, no matter who it is, so that's diffenitly not a understatement when his opponent is m2k :P Also, nice pic. Sweetluck c:

[@alexinhomg2]

Return of the king

[@CapFlipGaming]

M2K should only play Marth, and Fox when he is playing Hbox. I feel like his Marth is just so much better than his Sheik.

[@killerscarcestar4098]

ssbrosking36 he plays fox against HBox because fox has a huge favor against puff

[@CursedWulfGaming]

But his Marth is pretty trash when he's not feeling himself where he always does fairly well with Sheik. There's the falcon MU as well which is a lot better for Sheik than Marth.

[@ExilixE]

I think I would give credit to anyone who wins a tourney withat least 2 gods in attendance and you at least play against 1 of them. obviously this is not a super major big win, but i would count it as a credible win because of my criteria. He beat Hbox who is number 2 in the world and a hot Sfat twice who also beat Hbox. And won from Loser's bracket. So I would give him credit.

[@juniorthemidtiergod2034]

so if i win a major tournament with top 20 players S2J Wizzrobe WestBallz Plup The Moon Azen SFAT Leffen etc but no Gods it's not a Big Win? i Just won a tourney with Elite Players who will Consistently Finish top 32 who've taken Stocks Games & Sets off Gods But no by your criteria you need to beat a GOD & order for your win to be valid LOL Just Stfu you Scrub your logic makes no sense

[@Eddy-ost]

I hope this makes M2k play his Marth more often!

[@privacywillmatter]

You obviously don't understand M2K's strategy; It's very simple and HAS NEVER CHANGED EVER (so stop hoping): Marth for Spacies, Peach, Marth Dittos. Fox for Puff (Hbox). Sheik for literally everything else. Pichu to troll.

[@Eddy-ost]

Get over yourself. I hope he uses Marth MORE, not for everything.

[@privacywillmatter]

Come back to reality, dawg. M2K has a game plan, he's been using it for years, and he sticks to it and has no plans on changing it. Period.

[@Eddy-ost]

Okay, thank you M2k's coach.

[@CrypticNovas]

he used to go sheik on battlefield vs spacies though

[@paulofragoso2688]

big ups to SFAT for kicking ass. what happened at 2:12 that made them anxious btw?? pls lmk

[@michaelhenriksen7359]

The commentators fastly reacted on M2k's Marth jumping directly up from the platform, SFAT reacted to it but missed as it was potentially a free stuck for a short second. Melee is so hype, so commentators always does this stuff XD

[@sizzle5775]

Saw this live, so scared that M2K was gonna lose bracket reset game 3. Good job Jason!

[@Cam101077]

sfat still played really well. These were mostly all close games

[@sidneyhinds869]

Cam101077 I agree, he had all the tools to possibly even win the set, but M2K just being too clutch at the moment

[@PickyMcCritical]

A lot of times, M2K seems really focused on himself, criticizing himself if he loses rather than praising his opponents (especially in interviews). 16:13 It's nice to see him nod, respecting and acknowledging being outplayed, even for a moment. Great movement, SFAT.

[@PickyMcCritical]

+privacywillmatter Idk if you can see this reply since I deleted my comment accidentally, but you made a good point about M2K making progress towards getting used to his makes.

[@komikuno]

Good job to SFAT!

[@mrmenninmrmennin7824]

Is the audio not working for other people as well?

[@MrJ1GS4W]

M2K preventing 20XX, bouncing back after a shitty smash rivalries run. Shouts to his Marth

[@McDoubleFunny]

Melee in 2017: -Can only beat puff (hbox) with fox. Applies for everyone. -Marth will for ever destroy foxes as long as m2k exists. -Armada is going to forever turnip camp in order to make more $$$, but when he doesn't show up tournaments instantly become more enjoyable to watch and I'm sure the players have a much more fun to time in bracket. -Cpt. Falcon hype will never die, and once in a fullmoon he'll take 2nd or 3rd at a tournament, but is still a low tier character kappa -Falco is dead -Mango is dead -Ice climbers are still the sharks of pools -20XX is a thing...but like I said as long as m2k (and hbox) exist, it will not happen -luigi? that is all, thank you for your time.

[@bigredog100]

LeRoy Goldman 👏👏👏👏

[@travisdurrans8866]

You said you can only beat puff with fox, but at the same time you reference a tournament in which Wizzrobe beat puff with Captain Falcon lol.

[@OneArmedRetroGamer]

What happened too Amsa? I saw him win a Japan tourney.

[@mikedman88]

I

[@AtomicMonkeybutt]

luigi? abate? win super major? yes pls.

[@marshadow13]

I don’t really play melee or understand the rules competitively speaking, is there a reason m2k couldn’t/shouldn’t dash dance at the start of g1? The commentators and sfat both said something about it, and I’m just confused why it’s not allowed, is it a rule there supposed to hit each other immediately as the game starts?

[@Athesies]

Its more like its really impolite than it is against the rules. The idea of what they were doing was that they waited an equal distance away from the centre of the stage (the best place to be) until the timer hits a certain number and then they allow themselves to move. By moving around like that m2k is making his position ambiguous and by nature of how much he was dash dancing, controlling more stage than if he stood still (which is what sfat did)

[@shortsn4860]

lol m2k

[@johnsother2440]

I just want to say that I think not enough people are crediting Sfat's character here. If I were in his shoes, having finally made GFs FROM WINNERS SIDE, which was partially due to beating the man that beat me in GFs, I don't think I could still be smiling.

[@ike_of_the_greil_mercenari465]

Mew2King is my favorite Melee player. He reminds me of Payton Manning; a highly technical player who concerns himself with every possible mechanic in the game. Both are fun to watch.

[@MaxKuschmierz]

At this stage of the game, ANY tournament with H-box or Armada in it that isn´t won by either of them, HAS to be considered an upset! Good shit to m2k, the King´s won major tournaments since a whole decade now!

[@michaelmccarty1327]

What's neutral start?

[@liamfoote7164]

Your position at the start of the game is determined by what controller port you are using. Sometimes this can create an unfair advantage for one of the players. To avoid this, sometimes players will agree to a neutral start. This is simply running to the opposite sides of the stage so as to create an even starting position.

[@michaelmccarty1327]

Thank you.

[@oswaldchicken1330]

I feel like m2k coul be number one or at least 2 if he were more confident and consistent coz when he is playing well damn hes one of the clutchest melee players eva!

[@kalashnikov1343]

M2K has such a high smash power level his hair is falling out. Just like Saitama.

[@dextros6229]

M2K's Marth is SO GOOD

[@PayArcanum]

Jason benefits so well from focusing on one game

[@keepdreamin1212]

As a marth main it's always good seeing a Marth win it all !

[@pulse3543]

M2k Well done i don't play melee but When i saw m2k vs hbox i wanted to watch that and he won i thought he is in grand finals wanted to watch that too and he won i Don't care armada wasn't there he just won.

[@RemiGemini]

Youri Lignos did he win?

[@pulse3543]

Yes m2k won ⁉️

[@MrSlowpez10]

you should play Melee. it's tons of fun

[@pulse3543]

Yes i may buy melee once i already have a GameCube controller but i am better with bidou

[@pulse3543]

My first smash game was smash4

[@Psychoma99]

Barely realized why melee has 4 stocks the SDs lol. Joking aside I know why because it's pace is really high

[@ProlificPops]

THE KING!

[@plasticbudgie]

Go on M2K da maestro, sincerely happy for him.

[@sira2769]

Tafo is legendary on the mic.

[@jorgebarahona7886]

Why does mew2king rock back and forth like that between games ??

[@privacywillmatter]

I believe he has Asperger's syndrome, although someone might correct me.

[@tuanisthename]

becuz m2k rocks

[@Varde1234]

privacywillmatter Aspergers symptoms-> Behavioral: aggression, compulsive behavior, fidgeting, impulsivity, repetitive movements, social isolation, or persistent repetition of words or actions Yeah M2K probably has Aspergers but he's still a fucking beast. He's also socially come a long way too.

[@BuIIetBiII]

congrats M2K

[@Drakalin]

My friends introduced me to pm. Why is pm marth harder then melee marth

[@EmpGG]

sfat is such a good sport

[@PudgeTalks]

Tafo's comms have gotten a shit tonne better

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Mewtwoking is the god of ken combos

[@BalboaBaggins]

All hail the King!

[@sidneyhinds869]

This is probably why I don't seek out competitive melee as much as smash4... You have to be good in smash4 competitive, but in Melee you literally have to almost be perfect when playing competitively

[@michaelhenriksen7359]

When it comes to the top players, then difenitly. That's why i love Melee compared to the others smash game (or any other competetive fighting game, for that matter). It's so fast paced and precise, where the other smash games feels slow in comparison. However i respect the other games too, as they represent a different skill level, thus a much bigger competetition, with much more room for newcomers c:

[@brood415]

The ending to that first match was naaasty!!

[@ShadowLink678]

youd think the guy with fox in his username aka FOX METWOKING would use fox xd

[@albertomolina645]

I think its a little bit disrespectful when people who rank the smashers think that some tournaments aren't majors only because one or two other gods aren't present. There were a lot of good and top level players in this tournament. It feels as if they just think that no other player is of any value or recognition at all in general. Just because Armada isnt present, or Mang0, doesn't mean Mew2king didn't win what was considered a major, or anyone else if they would have won otherwise. I love all the gods of melee but One god or two missing aren't half of what makes a whole tournament, especially a major. #treateveryoneequally #itsjustagame

[@privacywillmatter]

You bring up a really interesting point. Everybody has been so conditioned to think everyone who is a non-god is LITERALLY just fodder, that they have no significance because they don't hold the title of a "God". The funny thing is that these top 100 players who the youtube commenters don't think twice about, could probably JV5 them.

[@zeldededeab9966]

As a scrub, these guys look like Super Saiyan Goku and Frieza going at it on Namek.

[@elizabethperry418]

My variation of 'Go Jazon Zimmerman'? lol m2k

[@brexs364]

M2king yeah

[@geffern]

I love M2K but hatteeee the Marth Fox matchup. As a Fox player it kinda is like playing Jigs except worse imo

[@sizzle5775]

geffern It's arguably in Fox's favour

[@sizzle5775]

Marisa Nya Then why isn't Marth SS tier then?

[@geffern]

Its not a matter of the matchup, in fact I'd probably call it 50-50 in high levels. But as a midlevel tech heavy fox who likes to play aggressive I personally feel that Marth can simply wall me out too well, and my only real counter is like wavedash back or other movement mixups. I don't think that it's impossible, but it forces me to slow down a lot and play much more campy and laser till I can find a jab upsmash or upthrow up-air. I also don't agree with the whole Sheik Marth really being too much of a matchup benefit in the way of Sheik but that might just be personal bias. I would just say that SFAT lost here because he didn't capitalize enough on the punishes he had on M2K. You can really tell the difference between SFAT and M2K to a leffen M2K set. It's a fine line of having to respect M2K's ledge game and also going for those punishes but you just have to lab out the different scenerios and get them down really well so you don't fall into his ledge setups. My biggest issue with Fox in general is that everything you do is super committal which people don't often understand. Like missing a waveshine can lead to a kill, or a not perfect ledgedash, or a bad shine oos; but with that he can also do awesome things if he isn't fucking up tech and can make the most of his movement.

[@sizzle5775]

Having a slight lead over the best character means everything though.

[@liamfoote7164]

As a marth player i hate the fox matchup lol.

[@christiancaicedo7036]

#Mew2kingNation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cam101077]

nerves of steel M2K!

[@djpancake33]

So close to the 6-0

[@TheMBlastoise]

I think it was extremely risky for mew2king to do the dair at the end of thr first game as most of the time if you aren't above enough on your opponent and you dair it will send the opponent upwards.

[@rodrigolugo1403]

Matt H Lets just be happy it worked, cause that was swag af.

[@ExilixE]

Matt H if you take a closer look, it was actually 3 f-airs. Marth's body never rotated so that means he never executed the d-air animation.

[@sebastiananzures7398]

ExilixE No it was a dair, you can see the sword go horizontally to the left which means it was a dair. It also made the dair spike sound

[@mattmadonna9136]

But it's Mew2King so he wouldn't have fucked it up.

[@saladavethesnivy6004]

nice to see the Altean Prince himself destroy some sort of furry bait

[@Greatermaxim]

Some of the best Marth play at human level. If all Marth's played this way they'd get first or second all the time. Sheik and Fox are the reasons why Marth won't ever be first imo. At TAS levels I bet Sheik and Fox needle and laser Marth to 300 percent then KO him. I could be wrong though tournaments like these exist to not allow that.

[@flysisblue4450]

You're watching SFAT.

[@kazumi_ssbm1968]

So disappointing to see Sfat drop so many edgeguard situations against marth. From tourney's like Shine 2016 it seemed like he had it down...i guess nerves get to everyone.

[@BigBassSmallBoike]

this why he is kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!

[@SeanTheShinigami]

I don't follow the community well, so I don't know much about the correct terms in tourneys. But majors and super majors are different, and if people think M2K didn't win a major here, then that's where I call BS. I'm not a fanboy (though he's my favorite God) but Jason did extremely well here, along with his opponents.

[@SeanTheShinigami]

The man deserves this W.

[@tuanisthename]

no he doesnt deserve its hes sux

[@lilgohan]

Good to see 2 americans takin' back them grand fynals from the outsiders

[@chungt]

M2k's start game one was some bullshit.

[@shortyboymoran483]

pop pop yeah it was. It didnt affect how that game played out though. He bodied sfat the other 5 games so

[@chungt]

Luis M I agree. M2k deserved the set easily. Props to sfat for playing as well as he did after that tho, shit would have tilted the fuck out of me. Lol

[@scarpiasp2472]

New rule. If you move during the neutral start: -one stock

[@GingerbreadSoulless]

M2K almost 6-0'd him

[@michaelnowara1623]

M2K constantly cheating with neutral starts. Not just the first one, he runs in too early every time

[@travis7843]

I am glad someone else called this out. While M2K is my favorite player it's annoying that he's cheesing with the neutral start like that

[@sidneyhinds869]

What's wrong with starting neutral? If that's what he wants to do, and it's allowed then there shouldn't be any problem. You gotta use whatever you can to your advantage, and the other player can do the same if they want.

[@michaelnowara1623]
