Top level Bayonettas and Snakes are just playing a completely different game. Really interesting matchup, great set from both players!

​@X5J9 You hate to see it.

Oh fuck I didn't even notice he was doing that

[@sharsasuke01]

BRUH! You can tell he labs the fuck out of this character.

[@Cadesworth]

I love this set man. Lima is always a blast to watch, their punish game is art. AK is one of the best decision makers I've seen, I'm so happy to see him doing great.

[@Omega7321]

First game: Hmm I don’t see why Lima says this matchup is bad things are going pretty we- *oh..*

[@PsychSaenz]

Lima had this, he’s still getting pretty nervous during grand finals, bayo is such a difficult character.

[@Demic312]

i actually think lima is playing this mu really well. this mu is just soul draining. the grenades are just too much. it kills, it breaks combos, it does damage, it zones, it's just too good. and then snake's tilts are pretty much all better than bayo's. this is just an impossible mu if the snake is playing optimally. out of all her -2 matchups, i think this is just the worst. i think lima might just have to learn another character for this mu.

[@DeathCorridor]

@@Demic312 he did really well with this matchup though, and i felt lima was able to play around the grenades and c4 really well with witch time

[@Javier-zw9sx]

@@Demic312 true, the whole gameplay about Bayo revolves around combos and Snake is like the "no combo" character with his granades.

[@PsychSaenz]

@@Demic312 I never stated he wasn’t playing the match up well? That’s why I stated he was nervous, because he should have won. I was stating how difficult of a character Bayo is in general, you really have to get an opening while Snake can just camp & not have to approach. Not saying Apollo isn’t good.

[@Demic312]

@@PsychSaenz I understood you. I'm saying Lima wasn't that nervous and I don't think he had a chance in that true grand finals set. I've seen his other major tournaments too and he was playing better than he normally does this set. And in the 2nd set, when Apollo started to camp even harder, Lima's mental exhaustion from the match up really started to show. To win this match up lima basically has to correctly read the opponent every time. Snake disables bayo's specials + dash attack with grenade, and bayo can disable snake's specials with witch time, but snake's normals are still bigger, faster, hits harder, and has higher priority than bayo's. And Apollo is really intelligent too, so reading his behavior right every time during their first encounter (afaik) is just infeasible.

[@SnowFleiqs]

That gourmet race at the end was the perfect finish

[@RoryRenee24]

Lima did great for a -2 MU! AK too! AmazIng players

[@NightRaven5568]

​@@willycheez7218 You do realize witch time is like frame 8 right? also witch time won't slow down the opponent if they stay far away enough and even if she gets close snake can just hold shield anyways

AK is my new favorite player

Crazy how Lima manages his resources in the air

[@sharsasuke01]

12:07 That was cleaaaan.

[@prjnce64]

I definitely noticed that AK was catching onto Liam’s pattern of using witch time and following up with side smash. I literally yelled, “HE’S GOING TO KEEP SHIELDING! GRAB HIM!” Yet, he kept using side smash instead.😞

[@psyk1k986]

Good use of witch time. You have to make snake respect your item play. Don't let this man get comfy. Make him scared to use nades.

[@ChillestForm]

This man bought a gallon of tea to the tournament 💀
