Lol not even zain could have read that

[@That0neGuySaid]

Frame perfect bait

[@marco5030]

The expressions after 14:20 were really wholesome. It's such growth from M2K to see that he doesn't seem to be feeling these toxic emotions, that he can have fun while losing. Exchanges at the end just seemed mutually respectful and cheerful.

[@powerowl2120]

Yeah I think m2k is getting to a better place in his life and hes getting wiser and more free to be wacky with more outlets like youtube and such. And people are finally embracing him a lot more, so it's great. I love m2k, hes so awesome. It's great to see him smiling and doing good in melee again

[@MrScrubby55]

Even when he lost that 1 game to hbox... He didn't SD he just did a mid set handwarmer

M2k was clearly rusty here but I don't care, seeing him happy after a loss was good to see.

[@davonbenson179]

@@mrmaan7631. Just like Ken was, when he faced M2king.

[@Saskaruto16]

M2K not playing his best obviously, missing quite a few dash attacks, going for side b and counter a bit much (which just comes from playing Marthcina in 4 and Ult), but to do that well coming back after like a year, that's amazing.

[@Insignia6]

Nah, no excuses for M2K. He's been around this part of the arena many of times.

[@Saskaruto16]

@@Insignia6 He had literally been playing Marcina in Ult, that's why he went for those jank options. As someone who had also played Marth in multiple games, that kind of thing definitely screws you up.

[@firstlast-wg2on]

@@Insignia6 Definitely, it makes sense that a person who hasn't done something in a year will be performing completely the same. /s

It is a bit poetic that M2K loses to someone using Red Marth again after 13(?) years.

[@calacatchy]

comes full circle

[@emmbeesea]

Such a nail-biter Marth ditto. Good stuff to both players.

[@TapDat52K]

This has been one of the matches I wanted to see so bad. The greatest marths as of the current history of melee. And Ken appearing in their eyes every time a the infamous combo gets landed. The best part, both players looked like they were in bliss. You could see time slow down around them in their player cams. EDIT: PPMD, Rishi, and Ken are still great too. Just waiting for maybe a certain one or two of them to return one day.

[@Greatermaxim]

...and a self hair brushing from Marth.

[@belgrado7208]

The former best Marth player vs the current best Marth player Ken, PPMD and Zain are the only Marth players who we're able to beat Mew2King in a Marth ditto?

[@boat.goathsr]

PPMD as well

I completely forgot PPMD

[@re-dacted]

[@MrTungson]

Looking back at this i actually didn't know how big this set is... this is the set that the red marth took back the crown from the black marth. Let's see when the blue marth rises up from the ashes to challenge this red marth or does it need a black marth to do it...

[@FloppyDiisk]

M2K’s still got it

We need this m2k mentality back. Even tho it was 3-0 he didn't look over stressed and like he was focused and having fun

[@ElDrHouse2010]

Zain has some little details M2k hasnt practiced enough like pivot fsmash and the hax dash. you can tell.

[@BenPlays482]

literally was biting my nails when he said its a nail biter

[@cstarcrusher]

damn it yayson

[@dinospumoni5611]

This was some incredible play from both players, a lot closer than the score suggests

[@JorgeDiaz-so8ne]

Naa. Mew2king siempre tuvo bajo control la partida. Cuándo está demasiado difícil se empieza a tocar el hombro como de estrés, adrenalina o nerviosismo

[@noodletribunal9793]

10:39 "you know what, scar?"

[@Xalashaska]

in hindsight m2k got absolutely rocked. 3-0 with a 3 stock comeback in the last game by zain was insanity.

[@8dreadLock8]

you can see here that Zain still needs to practice to become one of the greatest of this era he is in good shape but still lacks experience, at least here in the match-up 2021 will give the answer, same for iBDW and these newcomers

[@areebmasoodi8932]

Damn Zain is a monster. Everyone talking about how M2K rusty and he did pretty good for how long he was gone for but no one talking about how much of a beast Zain is.

[@JorgeDiaz-so8ne]

En efecto Zain es muy bueno

[@qwertyuiop32935]

Cool to see that they respect each other. Marth mains tend to have good sportsmanship :)

[@kevinguimond7711]

[@whatwhatwhatwhatwhat]

Watch Quit2King in the 2011-2012 era. His level of play in this Zain set here is due to rust rather than losing mentality.

[@dosway4185]

this is actually a really huge testament to how good m2k still it, considering his long break.
