Shine 2017 SSBM - Tempo | S2J (Captain Falcon) vs PG | Plup (Samus) - Melee LQ

[@im_Spade_]

7:06 Plup really putting that practice dancing to the music with m2k to work...

[@lasagna1550]

Keys1281 glad to know i wasn't the only one that noticed

[@matiasmoreno3562]

can you provide video or something pls? =3

[@MattWGAllan]

That one guy clapping his heart out at 12:50

[@june4135]

it's s2j's dad

[@im_Spade_]

Looks like nick riddle lol

[@samuelvibritannia4831]

Damn, another fifth place finish for Plup. Still, he did it all with Samus, he could have switched if he wanted to.

[@WeeyumEdits]

dreamhack atlanta? ceo? he got 1st and 2nd at 2 separate majors

[@starwarriorterra8373]

Brian As someone who's actually met with and talked to Plup here in Florida, I have to call that bullshit claim that he's being smug when he smiles. The dude is honestly just enjoying the game, and is an extremely outgoing personality. And his presence on streams (most notably Wizzy's and M2K's) only confirms that much. If he were really that smug, then he's really hiding it if people who meet and greet with him can't see it. Methinks you're just trying to perform armchair psychology on his demeanor during matches, instead of taking how he acts at face value.

[@JonnyfromElma]

This is one of the best sets I've ever seen. Good shit.

[@vantacreations]

Anyone have a link to the video about the 6 knees falcon gets on Samus?

[@kealohabraceros7617]

Props to my boy, SIP 2 JUICES

[@HUBS2896]

Lmaoooo the guy with the chair at the end 😂😂😂😂 Shoutout to Ice

[@ricardoludwig4787]

"Was playing so well but just couldn't match the opponent" is the story of plup's life. Proud member of the Plup club

[@seffbush8177]

ricardo ludwig - Plup's level at the moment is Mango level or slightly below imo. He is just gunning through these shitty MU's like a badass.

[@casmar3293]

This was one of the best sets I've seen in a long ass time. Their shielding was so amazing. There was like a 10 second period on pokemon stadium where they both landed hit after hit but everything was being blocked.

[@williamlandgraf4433]

All these people saying he played samus j fo fun. his samus has almost beaten mang0 before in close sets and he just happened to run into johnny when he was on fucking fire. totally could've gotten further with his samus his samus is fucking godlike. but yeah if he switched to sheik he probably would've won....

[@Atone95]

Smash Fiend I agree his sheik could havr had a better chance but he does beat m2ks sheik. So could still maybe go either way from how they both were playing

[@BlackDeathBlade]

Considering Plup has a perfect Sheik Falcon record against S2J, its not much of a surprise if Plup won using Sheik.

[@Atone95]

True. Just knowing how good m2k is in that match up also though. Your talking the 2 most dangerous sheiks against falcon, he beat one so I mean if he were to beat plups sheik, it would have been that day. Playing on fire that whole run, would have been hype either way.

[@BlackDeathBlade]

S2J says that M2K's Sheik Falcon feels outdated. It's worth mentioning that Mew2king has lost to n0ne 3 times already and S2J has taken M2K to game 5 more than once prior to his eventual victory against him. Plup Sheik is a whole different animal and even with S2J's performance, Plup would still be a huge challenge for him in comparison to M2K. By perfect record, I mean Plup hasn't dropped a game in Sheik Falcon to S2J.

[@Atone95]

Just more of a matter of time though. M2k been doing it for years, pulp kinda recent just swapped, and even if it feels dated its still m2k, a betting man would go against m2k still a massive upset in the same respect. Plup from a technical stand point I feel you on him being a different animal but m2ks sheik can't be under valued, still a beast of a sheik. His mind games are still amazing and he has a few adaptations. I get the pulp thing though 2 completely different sheiks while they are both still amazing in the regard to the match up.

[@natewatson6962]

16:30 the crowd noises were GOLD

[@june4135]

Nate watson kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHanmWqOo7Rknqs watch the final set

[@roshipower]

This MU looks so difficult for Samus. Like Floaties all struggle with Falcon, but Samus struggles to another level

[@seffbush8177]

Plup goes full Samus or Luigi to prove "get good" to people. Also, they improve adaptation and encourage a johnless mentality. They are like training weights in a sense.

[@johnhurley8918]

Seff Bush lol, no. He just loves the characters and wants to get them better. Same reason Mango went all Falco.

[@YouSoldHerSoul]

This vid needs more attention.

[@zigorvlc]

And that's it for melee samus. RIP

[@MakoTheFrog]

This is why i love Plup and think that he is probably the best melee player there is, i'm pretty sure he might have the most characters at high level play too, he's sick with shiek,fox,samus,luigi and i'm pretty sure he could play jiggs too but doesn't for obvious reasons. Like here he could easily switch to fox and clean s2j but doesn't, he just plays what he likes, and likes what he plays and i respec that.

[@FinnishCraig3]

I like to see Mang0, Plup, and Axe all go at it to see who has the most characters.

[@125conman]

Really happy we saw the Pulp samus return.

[@KroNicParadox]

so is plup the best samus when he doesn't even main the character any more

[@june4135]

Sad

[@susparia4724]

Plup’s Samus is the best at being sheik

[@ss-sy6lf]

2:19 下投げ

[@healthyhappyhero]

This is a huge win for S2J. Good stuff!

[@andymarkantonatos4849]

dragon166666 it's s2j's best matchup lol it would have been a huge upset if plup won

[@PickyMcCritical]

+dragon166666 I think Plup was ranked lower than S2J until he became a Sheik main.

[@noelramos4948]

Why did plup go full Samus?

[@23mrbee]

You learn not to question plups character choices after a while.

[@ForRunnerz]

Noel Ramos z his shriek and fox are god tier(literally) he pulled a m2k this torney

[@strawhats100]

I wish m2k would decide to full marth for a tournament...as a selfish 2007 m2k marth fan

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

Because he's the best Samus on earth ?

[@AlvinAlbatross]

Noel Ramos because samus is fun to play...?

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

What is that "6 knees Samus" thing ?

[@sunnygo8469]

Great set.

[@SuperNapTime]

Isn't S2J the guy that threw his controller hard as shit into some girls face and then didn't even apologize, after losing to Druggedfox at Evo?

[@urallnoobs8943]

JOHNNY IS CRAZY! (btw johnny is s2j, i can use his first name because we are tight like that. yeah i know top players but its whatever to me lol)

[@MrToxSavage]

urallnoobs8943 nobody cares (just thought you should know ;) )

[@papabanks1540]

It's a meme. lol.

[@kingcar4728]

1 like, 1 prayer for Samus in training mode

[@MrSporeaddict123]

if i hear "juicy percent" one more time watching these vods i think ill falcon kill myself

[@BumpySoup]

the end of game 4 is crazy

[@keiyousu7454]

6:40 It covered everything except the roll to the right

[@ethanhernandez7002]

Some samus main can tell me How bad this matchup is? Like 65 to 35?

[@HsmAsTa]

Idk about the numbers but falcon is probably Samus' 2nd worst match up (1st being sheik in my opinion)

[@nibblerdoo]

Im confused why everyone says the MU is so heavily favored toward falcon. Samus has a decent punish game on falcon being able to CC falcon's nair/weak hits and follow up not to mention nair tech chasing. Samus is very difficult to edgeguard especially off the ledge with falcon as evidenced by plup not really getting edgeguarded in this set save for a missed bair offstage from s2j Falcon is notoriously one of the easiest characters to edgeguard - most of s2j's stocks are taken by him being knocked off stage and edgeguarding predictable recovery Falcon has awful special moveset Sure falcon has some crazy combos on Samus and is much faster overall, but has a super predictable recovery and no projectiles I'm just wondering why the mu is seen as so heavily favoring falcon.

[@ImJBlu]

Plup got 5th I’m so shocked

[@TheNiceguy1156]

Wow 3rd place falcon props to s2j

[@MsA0301789]

He played the worst two matchups with samus 😥: falcon and falco

[@darkphoenix2]

Falco's not that bad at all, too similar to Fox Mango is just stupid good

[@TeeKayDee]

I'm pretty sure that Sheik and Puff are the worst.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

darkphoenix2 Falco is super pain in the ass for Samus matchup dude :/ of course Mang0 is insane but Mir Ali is right.

[@viktorjavo]

TeeKayDee From what I have heared from Sebovich, a Ganon main at my local, that have switched main to puff for the time being. He says that Puff has the worst rest-setups against Samus, becuse Samus is so floaty (I have even tested that peach lives longer from the top blast-zone than Samus). But I guese Puff is better in the neutral by spacing BAirs. Then again, Samus can just spam projectiles in the neutral. The Puff vs Samus MU is pretty argueble. I think the MU is even, but I could chance my opinion. Let me now your opinion :)

[@kkokay4]

shiek and puff are 100% worse than falco

[@austin4601]

Another Plup 5th place.

[@twitchrareswedishki11errabbit]

i love you

[@agravy7657]

First game was noob level

[@mrx00666]

s2j is a candidate to become the next god of destruction.

[@fidelsalas7116]
