[@poleon2003]

Fun Fact: Axe has never lost to a Marth player in a serious Tournament match since PewPewU at NorCal Regionals 2013.

[@TromboneMachine]

@LionHeartTV Películas Movie Film m2k plays sheik vs axe

[@kingj521]

Also a fun fact: when Axe Pikachu throws a PokeBall. Marth is what comes out

[@favourites4]

I think if he plays Zain again this weekend Zain will win

[@mew2kid252]

@@favourites4 possibly, I think he kind of choked a bit after losing game 3. If he can pull it together like at Genesis 7, he has a good chance IMO

[@jfmedits1577]

fuckin hilarious

[@n4riko]

OHHHHHHHH

[@Haywire5714]

Seeing the incredible matchup knowledge zain brought to the table this set, and also seing Axe's adaptation in neutral throughout the last 3 games was extraordinary. At the beginning of this set I wanted Zain to overcome this demon, but by the end I wanted Axe to win and he did in the most clutchgod way possible. One of my favorite sets of all time, and it will be exciting to see when Zain inevitably gets that win over Axe.

[@PKMNTrainerVic]

This set alone definitely solidifies axe as a top 5 player. Holy shit that was amazing.

[@szpsubzero11]

Super hype match!!

[@marlz11]

I felt the same way. I wanted Zain to win initially but Axe's determination in the face of such odds made me root for him in the end. The fact that Axe is able to push such a character to its limits like that is a testament to his insane creativity and skills.

[@Greatermaxim]

Are you one of those outside of the top ten? Are you telling me you've never taken a set off Zain or Axe?

[@jerbearlee1681]

Melee is just a dope anime. Axe executed so many frame perfect moves on that last edge guard. He's sick and Zain played amazing as well. LONG LIVE MELEE

[@AwkwardTurtle311]

Fr a speed run and a fighting game

[@emiliano6585]

This set was pure fire. My hands were sweating so much and I wasn't even playing. I can only imagine the pressure both players felt in that close game 5.

Zain vs Axe might be my favourite match up now. Every set of theirs is exhilarating!

[@Figgy20000]

Axe is up 8-0 against Zain, starting to get as bad as Zain-Sfat He almost clutched it this time though!!

[@Dlord1PlayStation]

@@Figgy20000 If someone mentioned to Zain that he's Axe's Sfat, I wonder how he'd react. XD at least he keeps them close.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

Zain globally often has super hype ends, like against Leffen and or Wizzy. There are surely other exemples.

[@AnonymouslyHidden]

if there were a crowd behind that TV, this would've easily been the loudest melee set of all time.

[@ammonstyles5224]

that was the most amazing play I've ever seen from axe. the way that zain played the matchup made it almost IMPOSSIBLE for pikachu. the fact that axe's brilliance in adapting and execution finally earned him the set win is absolutely amazing. you kids should take some time and think about how phenemonal of a player axe is. incredible man. love u jeffrey

[@whyistheresky]

Ammon Styles SO much love for Axe. My personal favorite Melee player. Zain is up there too.

been playing/watching melee since 2003 and i can just say this is one of the highest level sets of all time

[@gabrielcastejon7914]

Axe has played better and Zain started flubbing at the end. But I don't care, this is one of my favorite sets

[@Flip-a-dip-dip]

I was watching this at work, and I was pretty much screeching at the top of my lungs at the last few seconds

[@CereaLover123]

This set was out of this world. My god, one of which I end up shouting in relief. Amazing set, great play from both Axe and Zain.

How many of you didn't realize that that "things are heating up" message at the beginning was going to be so ominous? Holy shit.

[@hamiltonnewhart3053]

Zain has gotten so damn good. I have a feeling that Zain will go on a win streak against Axe after this set. I saw so many adaptation and clear labwork from Zain that I think he is so close to solving the matchup
