[2022] MultiVersus Fall Showdown - European Finals | Multiversus Dev Tracker

Transcript (by Youtube)

0s	Sweden to Senpai and MJ who won the
3s	second EU finals again now dropping a
5s	single set from Poland Netherlands and
7s	so so many more to other teams coming in
9s	through today so gonna be kind of uh
12s	heavy hitter teams gonna be facing off
14s	against each other Sharpie I don't know
15s	what we're gonna be able to expect from
18s	it all but at the end of the day I don't
20s	think there's a single easy round
23s	it's really really important as well to
25s	note how hard the journey has been up
27s	here like you said there are very few
29s	teams that manage to win without any
31s	losses whatsoever inside of the
33s	preliminaries and as we get here a lot
35s	of these a lot of these teams are only
37s	going to have a singular opportunity or
39s	maybe even two opportunities basically
41s	to move forward inside of this top eight
43s	basically after they lose as you know it
45s	is double elimination so they have two
47s	opportunities uh their first loss will
49s	put them aside losers unless they're
50s	already on that side in which case
52s	they'll actually be removed from the
54s	entirety of the bracket now as we go
56s	into our very first match today
59s	um I believe that's going to be OG San
61s	and uh atsui versus a phantom and uh
65s	misukin do you have any favorites going
67s	into this very first match of the day
69s	that we're going to see
70s	I honestly could not tell you because if
72s	you looked at the these guys's past
74s	results OG sounding nuts we got fourth
76s	at the first EU open and Phantom and
78s	mitsugen mitsu shin got fifth at the
81s	second one so like those are pretty
85s	similar placements they never fought
86s	against each other within the fall
87s	showdowns so they have a lot of stuff
90s	coming up here if you look at OG sound
92s	and atsui they could probably be rocking
93s	LeBron or Harley alongside A Bug's bunny
96s	from Matsui and on the other side of
98s	that coin you're gonna have Superman and
99s	Arya from Phantom and mitsukin and it's
101s	like this is kind of like up in the air
104s	but what's gonna happen right because if
106s	you go for the Superman if we kind of
108s	like analyze the actual characters and
110s	what the characters are gonna be going
111s	against each other Superman does have
112s	the ability to ice freeze the basketball
114s	from LeBron to kind of like slow it down
116s	or just stop it in its tracks completely
118s	so that could be a factor to end up
120s	going for LeBron so Harley might become
122s	the pick instead we're just at the wait
123s	and see I know at the very beginning of
126s	the game's lifespan LeBron came out and
128s	a lot of people were just kind of
129s	sleeping on this character was like I
131s	know he doesn't feel so good whatever
132s	but as the game has gone on and he's
134s	gotten a couple of Buffs this character
136s	is actually kind of uh nasty hard he's
140s	nasty bro he's hard to deal with like in
142s	2v2 because the basketball's like
143s	constantly in play so we're seeing a lot
145s	more people playing LeBron James because
147s	of that
148s	so let me ask because as you know
150s	Superman and Arya was a very very
152s	popular pick earlier inside of this
154s	game's lifespan especially at some of
156s	the first couple of Make It Rain Dogs
158s	some of the very first of ajax's locals
160s	uh we even saw it at very high demand at
163s	Evo a little bit less popular but we did
165s	see it quite frequently uh how do you
167s	think Superman uh and Arya as a
170s	combination uh can play against LeBron
174s	who has become more of a very popular
175s	more high-ranking pick amongst
178s	high-level meta well you put the
180s	heaviest character and the lightest
182s	character together not counting Iron
183s	Giant obviously
184s	um and you got that's the kind of team
186s	you got right so Superman's probably
187s	gonna be pulling the point gonna be
188s	playing the front liner while Arya hangs
190s	in the back and looks for those sweet
191s	spots uh to actually move in the
194s	Assassin role rather it's kind of
196s	interesting because if you looked at NA
198s	East finals yesterday a lot of the team
200s	comps were like clearly the front liner
202s	was like an assassin a Bruiser a tank
205s	and the backliner was usually like a
207s	support or a range and that's not kind
209s	of what we're seeing here today mine is
210s	the winner obviously the winner was a
212s	Morty and a rain dog shout outs to uh
215s	house arrest and um monk for being able
217s	to pull that off but uh yeah I love me
219s	some Monk bro I love watching one
222s	gameplay
226s	yeah they pulled it off dude they ended
228s	up getting the whole win on that and I
230s	also want to give a shout out to any
231s	West yesterday that was a luck and Mikko
234s	winning North America West finals so we
236s	got our two Champions now we're here to
237s	figure out our third and last champions
239s	here at Europe and now we're looking it
241s	looks like we're sitting here on the
242s	character select screens exactly the
243s	characters are going to be seeing so
245s	just to let you guys know on the right
247s	side for the red team it's going to be
251s	um
251s	uh Phantom in mitsukin and then on the
254s	left side the blue team is going to be
255s	OG San and atsui this is pretty much a
257s	France battle going on here I'm pretty
259s	sure uh Phantom's also from France but
261s	the other three players are definitely
262s	100 from France so if you recall from
265s	the first EU open France was dominating
268s	all of Europe so like it's because
270s	they've been pushing a lot of these
271s	terms especially in the beginning of
272s	this game's lifespan they were
273s	constantly having tons of online
275s	brackets before France has helped like
277s	push the scene
279s	now uh just a quick question because
281s	we've seen a lot of Superman play
283s	earlier previously inside of the setups
286s	of these qualifiers
288s	um and obviously phantom for those of
291s	you who don't know is an amazing
292s	Superman player we did see him actually
294s	switch off of Superman at a certain
296s	point as I have the bracket do you
297s	expect that to happen depending upon
299s	their first loss or their first win
301s	inside of the set I mean it could happen
303s	uh Superman has definitely fallen off in
305s	recent memory just because it's not
307s	because Superman is like like he's
309s	clearly got a couple of Nerfs and he's
311s	still a fantastic character but the
313s	problem is a lot of the people that play
315s	Superman kind of don't believe in him as
316s	much anymore one of the people that come
318s	to mind is oops here who is now like
319s	primarily a Batman man so a lot of these
322s	pillars have been like kind of dropping
324s	off of them in favor of other characters
325s	so it's always refreshing to see someone
327s	still locked with the Superman
328s	especially over in Europe this is not
330s	the only Superman in our midst there's
331s	also a G3 and Cowfish coming up the
333s	later in the bat later on in the day so
334s	it's always nice and refreshing to see
336s	him because you gotta remember he is one
337s	of the heaviest characters in the game
338s	minus Iron Giant so he's gonna to live
340s	for a long time especially when you get
341s	combos like that the down attacking the
342s	down attack bring it up into a side
344s	special to easily easily put them into a
346s	fantastic positioning here in the
348s	opening part of this bracket
349s	really really good start so far just for
352s	this red team they've already been great
353s	about racking up damage you can see
354s	Superman's at 90 he's only gonna be
356s	sitting there for a while just as a
358s	stock tank inside of this matchup we're
359s	seeing a lot of aggressive Bugs Bunny
362s	play not as much projectile in the very
364s	first ring out does go in favor of the
366s	red team blue team does get a ring out
368s	on Arya now oh actually that's a ring
371s	out on Superman my apologies fantastic
373s	start just an easy trade so far aside
375s	this match it looks really really close
377s	so far Aussie yeah I mean they're just
379s	trading stocks left and right and now
380s	it's up to uh Bugs Bunny to be on that
384s	uh stock tank roll but unfortunately
386s	caught by that up there and that's gonna
388s	be otsuite taking a pretty early stop
391s	right there one thing that's also really
393s	interesting to note is that in EU open
395s	number one we didn't see a single Arya
397s	star start whereas in the second one we
399s	saw tons of them so this is going to be
401s	kind of like a combination of them all
402s	coming together look at this team damage
404s	coming out from OG sound and atsui
406s	they're just completely just dominating
407s	the 2b1 right there I guess I'm just
409s	continuing the combo damage I like how
410s	they're like jumping off of each other's
412s	Combos and synergizing extremely well to
414s	get those damage as Max as possible we
416s	have a ton coming in there's the dagger
417s	throw continues the onslide good kbi
419s	coming from OG sign to be able to land
420s	right back down on the stage now I'm I'm
423s	already really concerned just because
425s	one of the things I'm not necessarily
426s	seeing here is as many projectiles as I
428s	usually see from A Bug's teeth you know
430s	it actually looks like he's taking more
432s	of an aggressive post and basically
434s	boxing in these instances uh choosing to
436s	mostly use tunnel and safe as opposed
438s	using rockets inside of these setups
440s	which I think is actually really smart
442s	because rocket setups will take a lot of
444s	time Arya can already get on you and
445s	especially when you are sitting there
446s	alone that's a perfect time for Arya to
448s	do exactly what he did right there to
451s	that to that to that LeBron by singling
455s	them out in a 1v1 situation
456s	meets again been doing a fantastic job
458s	of just like cornering like OG sense
461s	specifically and getting a lot of these
462s	side air Kos are the very like high low
465s	damages rather and it's been helping
467s	them out tremendously within this match
469s	and now that big Target right now is
470s	gonna be Phantom but while Phantom's
472s	gonna be kind of chilly in the back line
473s	because he has to do such a high damage
475s	they're actually gonna collude on the
477s	mitsukin instead and get rid of this
479s	nasty Arya and gonna send that stock
482s	flying and give themselves a game number
484s	one in their favor the whole time at the
486s	very end Phantom was at 170 damage so of
489s	course they're gonna trade rules he's
491s	gonna play the back line because he
492s	can't risk anything and so instead Buju
494s	San and uh atsui playing the chase game
496s	and just be like you know what we're
498s	instead of going after this runaway
499s	Superman let's just go after the Aria
500s	she is the lightest character of the
502s	game if we do enough damage to her she
503s	will be at ring out percent so that's
504s	exactly what happened
506s	you know one of the things that I also
508s	saw really helping The Blue Team inside
509s	of this win was the fact that LeBron's
511s	uh perk I believe was actually keep
513s	possession which as you know gives Bugs
515s	Bunny a little bit of gray Health there
516s	were several times where Bugs Bunny
518s	could have actually gotten ringed out
520s	just because of the attack and the
522s	pressure that was on him but because of
524s	that little bit of gray Health kind of
526s	like being a buffer as you see right
527s	here it prevented him from being inside
529s	of situations where Arya could very
532s	easily have just gone ahead and up aired
534s	him or up specialed him to an
536s	unfortunate ring out very good uh uh
539s	very good know-it-all I think by LeBron
541s	very popular perk especially inside of
543s	doubles and it also speaks to exactly
544s	what you're talking about before
545s	previously austie which is the fact that
547s	LeBron just excels so much because of
550s	that basketball it's so incredibly
551s	versatile especially inside of twos
553s	he also has two different movesets based
555s	on if he has the basketball in hand or
557s	if he doesn't have the basketball so
558s	once he tosses the basketball out and he
559s	doesn't have one the only way for him to
561s	get a basketball is to use his alternate
563s	moveset which is considered worse
564s	because it's the the initial moves are a
567s	little bit more laggy on Startup so he
569s	has to actually hit someone to reclaim
571s	that basketball or he uses one of his
573s	cooldown moves to just find a basketball
574s	like on his own and his moveset just
577s	gets significantly better while he has
579s	he's in possession of the ball you know
580s	LeBron's better on offense than defense
582s	I suppose
584s	and and he's just consistently asking
586s	the ref what is this called that's why
588s	he's so good on both because he knows
589s	the call is never going to be in his
590s	favor what what what what now let's talk
594s	a little bit more about what red team
595s	can improve on here and what changes
598s	we're looking for on this red team the
600s	first thing is of course we went over to
601s	sky Arena no platforms very popular
603s	choice
605s	um do you expect for us to go to the
606s	same stage as well
608s	so if we if the history repeats itself
610s	from Europe uh European uh open one and
612s	two we saw a ton a ton a ton of sky
615s	Arena like they were not really kind of
617s	experimenting with the stage list and na
619s	West and NA East for both number one
621s	number two and finals we saw a variety
623s	of stitches a lot of trophies Edge a lot
625s	of sky Arena with a lot of Scooby's
626s	mansion with no roof a lot of bat cave
628s	and those are like the four most common
629s	stages but over in Europe it was
632s	primarily just sky Arena that seems to
634s	be the meta they like to play on it's
636s	just this one and only stage with
637s	sometimes getting kind of big every now
639s	and then so just because of European in
641s	the past I would not be shocked that
642s	this is like the most common stage we
644s	see all day today
645s	got it a really strong start yet again I
649s	I love these round starts by Red Team
651s	here they're so aggressive on the start
653s	they really want that early pressure on
655s	their side and it's usually resulted in
657s	them getting the very first knockout in
659s	their favor so I'm interested to see
661s	what this first knockout situation looks
662s	like so far and of course as soon as I
664s	say that blue team immediately turns
666s	that pressure around and gets advantage
669s	being able to get that Offensive start
672s	is such a boon for them because it
674s	doesn't give any time for red team to
675s	get set up granted there's not much for
677s	them to set up besides just placing the
680s	dagger potential of the Timothy that
681s	enraged there we gotta follow up right
682s	there see Phantom getting the up air
684s	after Michigan opens him up the
686s	really early KO they're from the bottom
689s	of the Blaster and now we're gonna see
690s	both players on red team at relatively
693s	high damage LeBron in trouble but that's
695s	okay OG stands playing character that is
696s	relatively heavy on top of that so
698s	you'll be able to survive to fight a
699s	little bit longer keeps getting caught
701s	by the upsortion because it's a little
702s	bit too far away is the Michigan's
704s	struggling to get that Hollow because of
705s	that manages to find the downers who not
707s	only finds the basketball and a KO and
710s	is also going back here on the offensive
712s	136 damage here on OG San has to play a
714s	little bit of the back Landing game
716s	really nice setup there by bugs
718s	unfortunately fell a little bit short
719s	because Superman was easily able to get
720s	that with ice breath now in a very
722s	precarious situation inside of the air
724s	game you don't necessarily win against
725s	Superman and he has to recover back onto
727s	the stage just trying really hard to get
728s	on there beautiful beautiful Sarah to go
731s	ahead and keep that uh keep Superman off
733s	the platforms and immediately we're back
735s	inside of a game where Arya immediately
736s	gets that next second knockout beautiful
738s	play and it's almost a miracle that
740s	absolutely still alive by the way like
742s	he has not lost a single stock there's
743s	that opportunity on the left side of the
744s	stage but he was struggling again
746s	there's a fantastic combo coming up from
747s	OG son gonna shut down Phantom Superman
749s	now the score is team but not for long
751s	again that's gonna be obso he going
753s	flying from the sidear he thought he was
755s	done I thought he was done but he still
756s	surviving kbi coming out from him until
758s	finally finally finally goes in the
761s	blast zone and we got Match Point here
762s	for red team but it is still pretty even
764s	and just like that in his match point
766s	for anyone
768s	this is a this is a real toss-up of a
770s	game right now you're looking at these
772s	trades literally go one and one the
774s	percentages are similar the the the
776s	pressure is similar and the only
778s	difference is the ability to get wall
780s	mode which we saw blue team just do now
782s	we're looking at Superman otherwise
784s	known as Super Tank sitting at 94 not
787s	necessarily the easiest ring out but at
789s	100 he is going to be in Rage we are
791s	going to have to be worrying about
792s	additional damage coming out but it may
794s	not be concerned because of how high
797s	these ceilings are on the stage
799s	yeah and there's one thing about getting
800s	like an early Spike on Superman as well
802s	it's not impossible hold on a second
803s	here's the narrow you try to get the
804s	center who's well we have literally a
805s	fantastic kbi from otsuite he faded away
808s	purposely to get away from Superman
810s	forcing himself to get closer to the
811s	blossom so he didn't get that follow-up
813s	combo because that easily would have
814s	spelled out a ring out at the end of the
816s	game gonna get some Burling action
818s	coming in to catch someone off guard
819s	connects the bat batter up gets 2-0 lead
823s	and now they're finding themselves in a
825s	really good spot here for blue team
828s	you know something I really we want to
829s	talk about from that last game there
831s	Aussie was one of the things if you
832s	watch you'll see a lot of very careful
835s	play from both Bugs Bunny and LeBron
837s	LeBron takes a much more active
839s	combination inside of a lot of these Duo
842s	attacks for The Blue Team very
843s	frequently you don't usually see bugs on
846s	the front line like that and in this
847s	match specifically he took more to more
849s	of a passive role than he did inside
850s	that first one even inside of situations
852s	where you can see that he's the only
854s	character left there you can see him
856s	kind of just moving back slightly moving
858s	off and one of that final stocks that
860s	happened where he was able to recover
861s	back on the screen as you said only
863s	happened because he was slightly
865s	drifting outside of the range very very
867s	careful micro dashing and micro
869s	placement there keeping him safe and
871s	making him I think one of the MVPs from
873s	that very last round especially for blue
875s	team LeBron did amazing as well and if
877s	we discount any of LeBron's dunk I would
879s	be genuinely a lesser commentator for it
882s	but fantastic play and fantastic
884s	awareness I want to shout out for that
886s	bugs player who was responsible for that
888s	final stock inside of both the previous
890s	match and in sight of this match as well
891s	very good awareness and understanding
894s	yeah atsui's bugs was doing a fantastic
896s	job of playing that backline role being
898s	the stock tank especially when OG San
900s	was a stuck tank in the previous game
901s	because he was the one surviving granted
903s	you gotta remember that like in in
905s	within multiverses there are characters
907s	that excel in specific roles like I said
910s	earlier you know those people that are
911s	frontliners that are really that are
913s	better at front lining there are
914s	characters that are better at backlining
915s	but I think as the game starts to evolve
918s	and players keep getting more and more
920s	comfortable with this game and continue
921s	to reach more peak of the growth you
924s	gotta start to understand that you might
925s	have a role that your character excels
927s	in but you need to adapt what role
929s	you're going to fly into on the Fly
931s	based on what's going on so as an
933s	example there was that moment where like
935s	OG San was uh is probably going to be
937s	the front liner while Bugs Bunny stays
939s	in the back and throws out projectiles
940s	or you know could throw out basketballs
941s	from the back line it doesn't really
942s	matter they could both play either role
944s	but they're switching it up based on
945s	what the circumstances are based on what
947s	their numbers are so as an example atsui
949s	hasn't hadn't lost a single stock yet
952s	and ogson's been down for two so now
954s	that he's at a high damage no reason's
956s	out of fresh damage that means uh
957s	atsui's bugs is going to go into the
959s	back line and start playing really safe
960s	while OG San takes the risks because
962s	he's at a lower uh lower number in that
964s	stock it's all about adapting based on
967s	the situation
969s	now I did see a gizmo swap over there
971s	for Phantom uh opting to not necessarily
973s	go Superman inside of this game three
975s	but actually Gizmo how is this going to
978s	change the possible pressure that red
979s	team will be able to provide here
982s	I I so I'm gonna be real I didn't I
984s	didn't catch it really quick are you
986s	trolling me right now is that actually
987s	Gizmo
988s	no I'm I'm not trolling oh I'm sorry
991s	that was stripe that was stripe my
993s	apologies
1002s	I've never commented in a gizmo in my
1004s	entire life so I got I got really
1005s	excited I was like you are you getting
1007s	me like no never never ever so uh this
1010s	is uh switching over to the bats instead
1013s	of the suits this is actually a very
1015s	natural transition a lot of players have
1017s	been playing Superman feel like you just
1018s	can't keep it up so off to swap over to
1020s	Batman instead to get that bastard speed
1022s	more combo game as well as really
1025s	earlier chaos the only downside is that
1027s	he's a much lighter carrier than
1028s	Superman and they're playing a super
1029s	glass Cannon team it seems to be working
1031s	out dividends for them right now already
1032s	getting it really early in Ko against
1034s	optimus's bugs
1036s	that weekend stack that Batman gets on
1039s	his passive from both the smoke screen
1040s	and from certain special moves while
1042s	also greatly assist Arya here as you're
1045s	already seeing and it's one of the
1046s	reasons why they were able to get that
1047s	early knockout so much look at how much
1049s	damage they're literally racking about
1050s	Bluetooth 79 85 139 and both the blue
1054s	team is just dancing inside the blast
1056s	zone because of it it is a ridiculous
1059s	amount of pressure that red team is able
1061s	to put out on Blue Team until Arya
1063s	secured that knockout on LeBron very
1065s	very advantageous they're currently two
1067s	knock-ups up over blue team zero
1070s	get another down arrow they're
1071s	ultimately in a bad position trying to
1073s	find a way to get back on gets called
1074s	out by a cider and this is a completely
1076s	different ball again until they finally
1078s	get their first point on the board it is
1079s	still
1080s	a very Hefty lead here for red team this
1082s	is looking very pretty for them and the
1084s	things are falling out of control for
1085s	blue insanely fast also he's gonna get
1088s	some rage things going here get
1090s	throughout the basketball throughout the
1091s	pies get the Bro ready to go so let's
1093s	pop in left and right they're gonna get
1094s	another point on the board but it might
1095s	be a little bit too late because OG song
1097s	is already at 71 damage and we're seeing
1099s	how fast red team is getting these early
1100s	chaos I cannot stress enough though that
1102s	this is a glass Cannon team and they're
1104s	now at risk of potentially losing their
1106s	final stops look how high they going
1108s	traveling hook managed to catch him all
1111s	the way up to the top get the uppercut
1113s	get the KO off the top and that is
1115s	something to say for the grappling hook
1117s	on Batman they get you right into the
1119s	fight he went up there bro like he was
1121s	going super fast he zoomed up there
1124s	you know was it a Superman was he flying
1127s	I'll never truly be sure but that double
1129s	knock out there even though it only they
1131s	only needed one stock what a beautiful
1133s	play and it's something that you saw
1134s	throughout the entirety of that last
1136s	match blue team was playing just as well
1139s	as they had been earlier inside the set
1141s	but because of Batman's weekend stack
1143s	because of the amount of Mobility that
1146s	Batman has compared to Superman because
1148s	of his ability to stick and move and
1150s	also assist Arya a little bit better on
1152s	the damage side we saw significantly
1155s	earlier Knockouts we saw ridiculous
1157s	combo moves right there look at that I
1160s	just I'm so happy we caught the replay
1161s	because getting that grappling hook on
1164s	them up inside of the blast zone for
1166s	that final uh sure you can into a double
1170s	knockout that was that was just um
1172s	chef's kiss beautiful play there by
1174s	Phantom and it does actually keep them
1177s	inside of this set now with the score of
1179s	one two one game inside of their favor
1183s	and this is why we're seeing a lot of
1185s	Superman start to drop the character in
1187s	order to pick up Batman instead Batman
1189s	just has way more ability than Superman
1191s	and allows him to be able to chase down
1192s	opponents and not let them breathe as
1194s	heavily Superman on the other side is a
1196s	little bit slower if you manage to get a
1197s	couple hits he no longer has some of
1199s	those true combos I guess some netsum
1201s	some really really early Kos that are
1203s	kind of degenerate Kos in the past so a
1205s	little bit more balance meanwhile over
1207s	here with Batman my man can get in there
1209s	and you gotta remember we're playing a
1211s	platform fighter where compared to like
1213s	a traditional 2D fighter speed is
1215s	everything in a platform fighter speed
1217s	is so so much more important because you
1220s	being able to Zip Zap Zoom all across
1222s	the stage allows you to be able to move
1224s	your opponents allows you to win neutral
1226s	more allows you to be able to run away
1227s	in case you're feeling in an
1228s	uncomfortable situations and that's
1229s	exactly what this team of Ari and
1231s	Batman's going to be able to establish
1232s	here
1233s	so I guess one of my biggest concerns
1235s	going into this very next match is I'm
1237s	wondering if firstly if that if that
1239s	shaggy is real if that shaggy is a real
1241s	pick I know earlier you said that Batman
1243s	uh that LeBron and bugs were a favorite
1247s	for uh atsui and ojisan but did uh did
1252s	atsui have a Shaggy
1254s	uh potentially I know otsuite played
1256s	Harley in bugs but honestly I I feel
1259s	like if you play multiverses you have a
1261s	shot yeah I think he's the easiest
1262s	characters to pick up he goes he he he's
1265s	the um he's the Shoto of the game you
1266s	know he's like the character that like
1268s	the rest of the roster is based around
1270s	he's the blueprint and so like if you
1272s	know how to play multiverses you know
1273s	how to play Shaggy so I feel like
1275s	everyone has a pocket Shaggy just based
1277s	purely off of that but also he's going
1278s	to be busting it out to see what we're
1280s	gonna be able to do here with this
1281s	character I think the reason for this
1282s	swap is I feel like bugs was also with
1285s	these bugs is feeling a little bit
1286s	overwhelmed by The Rush down right so
1288s	maybe playing as shag he's gonna give
1289s	him that edge of being able to chase
1290s	after them go for the uppercuts as well
1292s	as play this keep away game in case he
1294s	wants to right if he manages to go into
1296s	the background and just kind of charge
1297s	for rage it forces the opponents to
1298s	chase after him to stop the rage charge
1300s	from happening they're also going to
1302s	Trophies Edge now another change of pace
1303s	here to make it a little bit more
1305s	claustrophobic for them to get some
1306s	really even earlier chaos so the upper
1308s	uppercut coming out already look at that
1310s	this is what we're gonna see with trophy
1311s	said way smaller blast ones compared to
1313s	uh sky Arena it's gonna allow you to
1315s	keep this fight up Batman already at a
1318s	pretty dangerous percent there's the
1319s	combo the downer start is also a really
1321s	fantastic starter for Shaggy
1323s	now one of the things I'm already
1324s	noticing from this game is both teams
1327s	appear to be significantly more
1329s	aggressive like almost recklessly
1331s	aggressive I want to say beautiful
1332s	beautiful down air there by Shaggy
1335s	almost resulted in a knockout from
1336s	Batman who was very very quickly able to
1339s	go ahead and grab the side and recover
1340s	but it is sitting now at 138 that is a
1343s	Danish percent as a dangerous percentage
1345s	for someone as big as Batman like that
1348s	you do not want to be sitting at the
1350s	percentage an uppercut does go ahead and
1352s	results inside of a knockout on that
1354s	Batman beautiful up air there by Shaggy
1356s	uh they are not letting Shaggy charge up
1358s	at all very smart very aggressive play
1360s	even at the cost of their own life it
1361s	appears
1365s	that's enough
1366s	it almost feels like Shaggy's actually
1368s	charging up not actually to try to
1370s	finish the charge up but actually to to
1372s	force their hand to force them to
1374s	approach it appears like in every single
1376s	instance immediately after we get that
1378s	charge up we are watching the shariuk
1380s	and we're watching the uppercut come out
1382s	we're watching the down air come out to
1384s	go ahead and bounce off the stage
1385s	immediately onto the circuit like we're
1386s	watching a knockout every single time I
1388s	see us jacket and so parking is like red
1391s	team be a little bit more careful with
1393s	it like not every single charge up is an
1395s	actual thing
1397s	yeah I mean I think that's a valid
1399s	strategy I'm trying to cancel it really
1400s	earlier on but right now things are
1401s	going out of control here for red team
1403s	three points to two Batman Phantom has
1406s	to play the back line because he's at
1407s	risk of getting an early KO whether it's
1409s	from a slam dunk coming out from OG son
1411s	or Epica coming up from otsuite one of
1413s	those two things could easily be able to
1414s	turn the tables on the thing is he's
1416s	also got to play say look he's charging
1417s	rage right in front of them trying to
1418s	force them to attack them managed to
1420s	finally get called out by it's still
1422s	gonna be able to survive here at 126
1424s	gets a sidekick managed to get it but
1426s	unfortunately another up there coming
1427s	back in and now OG song's the one he's
1429s	gonna be the new Target gets a downer on
1430s	top that doesn't even need the
1431s	basketball slams him into the platform
1433s	sends him off flying that's going to be
1435s	a 3-1 victory for OG sanonatsui to start
1438s	off today's bracket at the European
1440s	finals my goodness oh what a set
1443s	Aussie walk us through a little bit some
1445s	of this early because at the start of it
1447s	all I see right here is just boxing like
1449s	just straight up going into The Fray and
1451s	attacking somewhat recklessly what was
1453s	the thought process behind this game for
1458s	um let's play let's make it so we can
1460s	get some Kos off the top we got trophy's
1462s	Edge smaller blast zone so we can easily
1464s	get some chaos off of the top very uh
1466s	simple stuff for them to be able to kind
1468s	of come in here and be able to get that
1469s	working like I said I think the Bugs
1471s	Bunny pick just felt like it was a
1473s	little bit overwhelmed by how fast a
1475s	phantom was like closing in so it didn't
1477s	give bugs a chance to get anything
1478s	really set up with whether with like the
1479s	safe or even maybe even the rocket
1481s	sometimes so this time with Shaggy he's
1483s	like okay bet I want you to come after
1485s	me because I want you to try to like
1486s	feel like you could interrupt my Ridge
1488s	and I can cancel out of it and you were
1490s	talking about that a lot in the past
1491s	game with Shaggy's Ridge that's actually
1493s	a very common strategy from a lot of top
1494s	Shaggy players with a purposely charged
1496s	Ridge not for the point of getting raged
1499s	but to force someone to go after it's
1500s	almost like a provocability you know
1502s	like if you're playing like an RPG or
1504s	something it's like you're forcing them
1506s	to like yeah get over here like like if
1508s	you don't do it if you don't do it then
1510s	they're gonna get the free range and
1512s	that's actually what they want because
1512s	they can cancel out of it super fast and
1515s	then go for a follow-up right afterwards
1517s	and then that's kind of like helped them
1518s	out it kind of like got aggro off of OG
1521s	son you know
1522s	you know I I really appreciated a lot of
1526s	the um attempts at Oki that red team was
1530s	trying to go for there were several
1532s	times where they did go ahead
1533s	immediately after they watched blue team
1535s	recovering where they were like watching
1537s	and covering the potential uh potential
1539s	approaches especially since there were
1541s	significantly more approaches on
1542s	trophy's edge because of the moving
1543s	platform
1544s	um but I didn't think that a lot of
1548s	their predictability was as useful
1551s	inside of this match as it was inside of
1553s	the previous match that they won you
1555s	could tell that blue team was much more
1557s	reactive this time and they were much
1560s	more comfortable being reactive and
1561s	slowing down the pace of the match
1563s	previously
1564s	um which I think ultimately resulted
1566s	inside of that loss for Phantom and uh
1568s	mikshuken who unfortunately came out one
1572s	over the three that OG son and natsui
1574s	had there who do move forward inside of
1577s	this bracket on Winner's side
1579s	um I want to congratulate both players
1580s	for getting this far and of course as
1582s	you know Phantom and mitsukin will
1584s	continue to play on the lower side of
1586s	the bracket only being able to lose one
1588s	more time before they are eliminated but
1590s	a fantastic showing from both teams
1591s	there
1592s	I do want to talk about all the other
1594s	round ones that we saw off stream right
1596s	so just go through some quick little
1598s	results here we had cycle quacks and
1600s	macmatts take down uh parsley Bodo and
1603s	mitsukin that's going to be uh 3-0 for
1605s	them to move on to the winners quarters
1606s	two sent by an MJ took down hulky and
1609s	not sweaty we had uh let's go MJ
1612s	LOL Club tank and Timmy taking down G3
1615s	and Cowfish a little bit of an upset
1616s	there uh rizking and SJP taking down Joe
1620s	suit and eweck we had viren and vrip
1622s	take a set off uh take a set off of
1624s	Kiran and urbidor and then last but not
1626s	least this next that we're going to be
1628s	seeing is from a result of RJ King 08
1630s	and lager taking down trap and panic so
1633s	our next that we're gonna have here on
1634s	stream is actually uh paradoxy and Es
1637s	Kobe facing off against RJ King and
1639s	lager and this is a set that we actually
1641s	saw happen in the first EU open number
1645s	one there was a 3-0 in Paradox and Es
1648s	Kobe's favor so a lot of time has passed
1650s	since the first European open so maybe
1652s	there's a little bit of uh like
1654s	adaptility coming from the other team
1656s	maybe they try to take some notes figure
1658s	out why they lost especially with a 3-0
1660s	you know so try to come back and get
1661s	that Grudge Match for them
1663s	now I do you touched on something very
1666s	briefly while going over those stats
1668s	especially with this upcoming team but
1669s	how much do you think some of the
1672s	qualifying matches will play into some
1674s	of the sets that we'll see further on
1675s	obviously a lot of these teams aren't
1678s	strangers to each other because they
1679s	have had opportunities to play inside of
1680s	different opens uh do you think that
1683s	there will be a lot of strategy and a
1685s	lot more layers of uh okey okimoru or um
1689s	sorry just Okie in general which is the
1691s	thought process of understanding your
1693s	opponent and playing oh because you know
1695s	what your opponent's going to do uh
1697s	specifically because this is a finals
1699s	where there were multiple qualifiers you
1701s	think we'll see a lot of that similar to
1702s	how we saw it inside of of the previous
1704s	set
1706s	um I'm not entirely sure because that's
1709s	so like open to like what you're like
1711s	that's like diving into someone's mental
1713s	in terms of like how they're actually
1714s	going to the match like we get theorize
1716s	all we want but at the end of the day we
1717s	actually never know for 100 certain but
1720s	for this set in particular I think
1722s	enough time has passed where like this
1724s	could be anyone's ball game that's what
1726s	we saw a lot from yesterday especially
1728s	with any East finals is that we saw that
1730s	the people who qualified for number one
1731s	were like the ones that you know they're
1734s	they're the better players for that
1736s	tournament because they weren't allowed
1737s	to enter number two to qualify right so
1739s	the number one player to qualifying got
1740s	the better seed and number two players
1742s	qualified and got the Lesser seed
1744s	because it was the second one but the
1745s	number two players were playing a lot
1747s	better it looked like because they were
1749s	fresh off the presses from last week you
1751s	know very playing very in these
1754s	tournaments that had a lot at stake
1755s	meanwhile number one happened so long
1757s	ago that maybe they just kind of less uh
1758s	rested on The Laurels a little bit and
1760s	just didn't really you know get back
1762s	into the groove so we saw that the
1763s	people who qualified the second time
1764s	were actually coming out on top so we'll
1767s	see if that actually happens here for
1769s	Europe or not because both these players
1770s	actually come from number one so we'll
1772s	see who's gonna be able to come out on
1773s	top and who's gonna be able to send home
1774s	a little bit early
1776s	so let's also briefly talk about the
1779s	stage pick that we saw inside that very
1781s	last match they went to trophy's Edge we
1783s	have like you said multiple times not
1786s	seeing it that much we've not seen
1788s	really any counter stage picks that are
1790s	not a form of sky Arena at all inside of
1792s	these EU brackets what do you think
1794s	could possibly trigger some of these
1797s	stage stage changes because we did see
1799s	it happen literally on that game three
1802s	uh are we looking at a possible stage
1805s	pick or a stage change just depending on
1809s	their status inside of the game or
1810s	whether or not they're behind or ahead
1812s	do you think we're much more likely to
1813s	see stage changes because of being
1816s	behind further on the side of the set I
1817s	don't want to jinx them but I I mean you
1820s	know let's be honest let's be honest
1822s	here
1823s	I mean that I mean as I said in game
1825s	number four the reason they went to
1827s	Trophies Edge was because we are one of
1829s	those really early Ko's off the top
1830s	that's a really bad spot for glass
1832s	Cannon team like Batman and Arya because
1834s	they're gonna explode really even faster
1836s	because of that especially off of the
1838s	top of the blast zone and in my honest
1841s	opinion if you are just constantly going
1843s	to sky Arena and not picking any other
1845s	stages you're not playing the game
1846s	correctly you're not counter picking
1847s	correctly and you're not giving yourself
1849s	the advantage that you actually need to
1850s	go in if your first map is sky Arena
1852s	that's perfectly okay that's a very safe
1854s	stage to start on for the rest of the
1856s	set it's one of the most popular stages
1857s	for a reason but if you're gonna play
1859s	the whole set on here and not utilize
1861s	the like your strengths on different
1863s	stages that I think you're throwing
1865s	I totally get that and a really strong
1868s	start so far just playing the projectile
1869s	game with Velma and bugs at the start of
1872s	this match already blue team is racking
1873s	up quite a bit percentage and look at
1874s	Red Team almost perfectly healthy
1876s	literally one percent the very first bit
1878s	of delmen going out on Velma a very very
1881s	strong showing and a very very strong
1883s	Ground start so far for red team who
1885s	already has bugs inside of the blast
1886s	area an up air from Velma is going to go
1889s	ahead and kind of Bounce bugs back up
1891s	who does recover now at 75 on the rest
1893s	of the stage
1895s	yeah and you got to remember blue team
1896s	here with paradise and Kobe were the
1898s	ones that got a 3-0 against lager and RJ
1900s	King last set so well you see they're
1902s	gonna be able to adapt to this or is it
1904s	going to be kind of a repeat but right
1905s	now they're doing a pretty good job
1906s	right lager's playing that backlining
1908s	role pretty well only taking 21 damage
1910s	kind of slipping and sliding into what
1911s	Harley can do very well is set up a lot
1913s	of traps like you said just having like
1914s	the the confetti Bombs all over the
1916s	place can throw out the Batman stuffy to
1918s	try to like just control stage space
1920s	because whenever those things are put
1921s	out the you could the opponents can no
1923s	longer go toward those areas without
1924s	taking some additional damage or
1926s	applying to confetti debuff which can
1927s	also put on some more fire there's an
1929s	opening down here coming out from lag
1931s	you're going to score that opening Point
1932s	here for red team
1934s	very nice down here by Harley and I
1936s	think Harley's been doing a really good
1937s	job of securing some of these ring out
1939s	situations look at that look at that a
1941s	second ring out right there from Harley
1943s	who was sitting at 60 really good at
1946s	meeting Velma and keeping Velma there
1948s	and ate up all of that damage literally
1950s	ate up all that momentum and that
1952s	knockback for Velma right there so Velma
1954s	was able to go ahead and live lager is
1956s	doing a really good job of having almost
1957s	an omni presence especially for an
1959s	assassin character like hard then we
1961s	have a one-two KO count coming out from
1963s	Blue Team managed to get that side KO
1965s	into the spike gonna put them in a
1967s	really good spot here to be honestly
1969s	really easily even it up one thing that
1971s	Harley has like in her Arsenal is having
1972s	a pretty safe Spike right her Downer
1975s	especially with the most popular unique
1977s	perk for her is one where you can kind
1978s	of angle it oh my gosh look at that
1980s	chase off of the top almost got it
1982s	completely even further a little bit
1983s	higher of damage unfortunately not gonna
1985s	be able to get enough off that gets
1986s	another Chase good evasion from es Kobe
1989s	opportunity to go for that double jump
1990s	very close to the ceiling the Blaster to
1992s	get back down on the stages we're just
1993s	gonna continue to see just an onslaught
1995s	of just kind of an obstacle course for
1997s	everyone involvers projectiles all over
1998s	the place there's traps all over the
1999s	place
2001s	it's really interesting as well because
2002s	one of the big changes that I'm seeing
2004s	so far look at that knockout amazing
2006s	knockout there for a blue team they're
2007s	only one knockout away from winning this
2009s	entire match but you're watching already
2011s	a momentum shift almost even though blue
2013s	team's at a higher percentage which is
2014s	exactly what we saw at the start of this
2015s	match they're playing much more
2017s	thoughtfully they're putting a lot more
2019s	um they're kind of slowing the match
2020s	down almost right like it even though
2022s	they are at a higher percentage you can
2024s	tell that momentum's very much so it's
2026s	either side just with the stock being up
2028s	and you're watching red team kind of
2029s	slowing down on the projectile game
2031s	you're not seeing as many Velma speakers
2033s	coming out you're not seeing as many
2034s	word bubbles coming out you're not
2035s	watching as many uh as many as many uh
2038s	as many Harley tracks being put out
2040s	right now it's it's a very very slower
2043s	paced game than it was at the start of
2045s	this match and it's in blue team's
2046s	favorite who secures that final knockout
2048s	right now moving up 1-0 inside of this
2051s	Winner's top 16 bracket austie that was
2055s	a really good game one we got a lot of
2056s	information about both teams here
2058s	that was a really scary Ending by the
2061s	way like just having es Kobe being at
2064s	130 damage like they were at risk of
2066s	losing that entire game but because they
2067s	went over there and got that really
2069s	early Spike against them literally out
2071s	of like practically nowhere they were at
2074s	pretty low damage when nerger King went
2075s	flying down to manage to secure that
2077s	victory that was actually like that
2079s	could have gone either way so to see RJ
2081s	King and lager put up such a big fight
2084s	especially for the opening game you know
2086s	like we'll have to wait and see what's
2087s	going to be happening for the rest of
2088s	the set because I really don't know that
2090s	could have gone literally either way
2092s	now one of the things that I'm not
2094s	necessarily certain of is whether or not
2096s	we will see them go back over to sky
2098s	Arena platforms I'm sorry just sky Arena
2100s	no platforms because I actually think
2102s	that stage Choice works out perfectly
2104s	for both teams I'm kind of curious as to
2107s	whether or not we may actually see
2109s	something like a cromulon's pick and
2111s	this that's a very big wish mostly
2113s	because I actually feel as though both
2115s	teams Excel so well on no Arena on no on
2119s	no platforms on sky Arena no platforms
2121s	here that I almost feel as though we may
2124s	be looking at the red team actually
2126s	choosing to change stage just to
2128s	something that may actually throw the
2129s	blue team off but that would be that
2131s	would be a really big wish you know it's
2133s	not it's definitely not something we'll
2135s	probably see we'd be more likely to see
2136s	it on the n a side but uh I I'm I would
2140s	I really was a fan of that stage for
2142s	both teams it's it's gonna be I think
2144s	it's gonna be Skyrim and no Platz purely
2146s	because of Velma Velma thrives on that
2148s	state that's probably velma's best Stage
2150s	this is like an example of like where
2151s	you're counter picking you're counter
2152s	picking one of velma's best stages
2153s	chromolons is also a really good stage
2155s	for her but I think Skyrim is like the
2157s	most comfortable pick for this team
2158s	especially just like having that edge
2160s	now if red team were to win this we
2163s	would see where blue team would take
2164s	them afterwards right because that's
2166s	what's going to be like the counterfeit
2167s	that's when you actually want to change
2168s	the stage against the likes of Zelma you
2170s	want to take Dalma somewhere where she
2171s	can't have room to run away because what
2172s	makes the stage so good for Velma is
2174s	that look at this she can set up shop
2175s	she threw out an ice potion just in case
2177s	they opt to go for the approach she can
2179s	throw a megaphone from Super far away
2181s	hit her teammate with it and extends the
2182s	length of it she can throw out word
2184s	bubbles from a very far distance this
2185s	isn't like one of velma's best stages
2188s	and I'm really appreciating the Velma
2190s	play I always really like watching Velma
2193s	in general Moi is probably one of my
2194s	favorite Velma players of all time but
2197s	watching RJ Knight literally just move
2199s	in and out of reigns with bugs and even
2202s	Harley inside some of these situations
2203s	and win because of it it's absolutely
2205s	amazing to watch
2207s	um I'm really appreciating the fact that
2209s	blue team is kind of trying uh very very
2213s	early to get set up here and they're
2214s	just establishing their space on the
2216s	stage right now they said we're we're
2218s	gonna bring you on side of the left side
2220s	of the map we're gonna keep you here and
2221s	as soon as we keep you there then we're
2222s	going to approach because I think was
2224s	really really smart and ultimately
2225s	resulted inside of a knockout on that
2226s	Velma
2227s	you really hit the nail on the head
2229s	there sharper because like blue team is
2230s	doing a fantastic job just controlling
2232s	stage having that Center Stage pushing
2233s	him against the corner keeping them in
2235s	the disadvantage state has been working
2237s	wonderfully and also if they ever find
2239s	themselves corner like that they can
2240s	just usually go for a bug's burrow and
2241s	they can easily reclaim the center stage
2243s	immediately because of the ability to
2245s	move across the stage so fast there's a
2247s	missile coming in unfortunately lager
2249s	was stuck between some hit lag so he
2251s	ended up getting caught by the rocket
2252s	into the process that big opening Gambit
2254s	there and now blue team has themselves
2256s	with a two-point lead granted they're
2257s	both at triple digits they're trying to
2259s	survive they're both stalling on their
2260s	respective sides until finally Kobe
2263s	comes in I'm sorry Paradox comes in and
2265s	manages just kind of like opens up up
2267s	slightly and tries to push him back into
2269s	a 2v2 situation
2270s	really nice I actually really like that
2273s	approach even though bugs kind of got
2274s	punished a lot for it I really like the
2277s	attempt there and it was the thing that
2278s	ultimately resulted in their first two
2279s	stops beautiful just Moment of clarity
2282s	there for Velma who goes ahead and up
2284s	airs for that final knockout on bugs
2287s	right now the right now they are matched
2289s	up but they but blue team was able to
2290s	secure 88 on Velma and 26 on Harley
2293s	before they got those stocks out now
2295s	velma's sitting over there literally
2297s	within knockout range at 111 and it's
2300s	really only gonna be one down here or in
2302s	this case one up there from that Harley
2304s	Quinn to go ahead and secure that
2305s	knockout right now blue team sitting
2307s	literally one stock away from victory
2310s	and things are falling out of control
2312s	here for a red team dude they already
2313s	got them at 86 damage on lager all they
2316s	need to do is just get them right back
2317s	up to the top get a baseball swing
2319s	warmer up air up special coming up from
2321s	Harley I mean this team is literally
2322s	vertical Ko's the team right bugs and
2325s	Harley they both want the same thing so
2327s	they're both gonna chase after the same
2328s	thing getting the ladder combo getting
2330s	that down air started to get the combos
2331s	going I like that hesitation from lager
2334s	opted to go for the side special before
2336s	managed to go back towards the blasto
2337s	and help them survive just a little bit
2339s	longer get another Downer there on Kobe
2341s	or uh Paradox to try to keep this fight
2344s	in the game they're desperate to get the
2345s	stock against liger they're chasing
2347s	after them kind of Desperately we're at
2348s	this point maybe it's better to just go
2349s	after RJ because they can't seem to find
2351s	a hit on him because now lager it's a KO
2353s	on their own another up special and now
2355s	things are starting to turn the tables
2356s	in favor of Red Team all they need to do
2358s	is get this one good pick against Kobe
2360s	and that might be it for RJ
2362s	unfortunately a c Paradox come in get
2365s	that K on the left side get the Home Run
2367s	swing get the up bear and that's going
2369s	to be a 2-0 lead for blue you
2371s	now it's interesting because at the very
2373s	start of the set Aussie you stated that
2375s	basically the blue team has had a host
2377s	has had a history of basically going 3-0
2380s	I believe inside the situation is that
2381s	correct
2382s	yes they went 3-0 in the last that they
2384s	played in for the EU open number one
2386s	watching their team
2390s	watch this match
2394s	they do they are totally fine giving up
2396s	the first couple of stocks and trading
2398s	if need be in order to understand their
2400s	opponents and that is a very high level
2402s	technique that you frequently see inside
2404s	of high-level play
2406s	um watching the way that they also
2407s	understand and kind of break down their
2410s	opponent's habits very frequently
2412s	they're like okay our opponents tend to
2414s	recover this way our opponents tend to
2415s	do this move when they're trying to
2417s	recover space our opponents tend to use
2419s	the special which then immediately goes
2420s	on cooldown is one of the reasons why
2422s	paradise and Kobe were very easily able
2425s	to put Velma and Harley inside of that
2427s	box because they basically force them to
2429s	exhaust every single one of their tools
2431s	very frequently at the start of the set
2432s	we saw Harley put a box down we saw
2434s	Velma immediately take a much more
2436s	defensive round start just because of
2437s	how aggressive they were the very first
2438s	game and she's done it every single time
2440s	ever since bugs and Harley have
2443s	basically conditioned their opponents to
2445s	be immediately afraid of them and they
2447s	wait until that conditioning takes
2448s	effect and then they approach and then
2451s	they push them and take even more of
2452s	their resources away and ultimately get
2454s	those Knockouts sit really nice and
2456s	pretty get some free damage and then
2457s	they continue to just kind of snowball
2459s	with that advantage that is probably one
2462s	of the reasons why they were able to 3-0
2464s	their entire way through the early opens
2466s	and it's kind of what we're starting to
2467s	see now I don't want to take away from
2469s	the red team's options of winning here
2471s	because they can win but it is 100 blue
2474s	team's game to lose yeah I mean both
2477s	games so far that we saw today have been
2478s	four points to three so they've been
2480s	relatively close the red team is hanging
2482s	in there but you know what they say at
2484s	the end of the day of when you report
2485s	your bracket tournament right it was 3-0
2487s	but close though you know what I'm
2488s	saying
2489s	what's close it was close okay it was
2491s	close you know Define clothes
2495s	one of the things I'm also really liking
2498s	here is kind of the wherewithal for RJ
2500s	King and lager to go over that platforms
2502s	because I I know like you said
2504s	previously Velma thrives on
2505s	non-platforms but look at the options
2507s	that they have for recovering now as
2508s	opposed to previously when they were
2510s	just getting hit by upbeers every single
2512s	time they tried to recover because they
2513s	didn't have a safe recovery option
2515s	already we're looking at several times
2516s	where Velma has been able to have a
2518s	little bit more control over her
2521s	recovery just because of these platforms
2522s	and I think she's happy with trading
2524s	some of her offensive opportunities for
2526s	a little bit more defensive play
2528s	the problem is this is actually a
2530s	fantastic stage for blue team because
2532s	they want the lattering combos which is
2534s	why we already saw the first stock going
2536s	down in the first 20 seconds because of
2537s	that top platform that's like this is
2540s	quite the gamble of a stage to try to
2542s	mix up this might just be a whole like
2544s	let's just change the scenery to get
2545s	something going here because these
2546s	platforms can really help out the ladder
2547s	but there we go there's already a very
2549s	good start here for red team got two
2550s	points to zero but now both of them are
2552s	looking at pretty high damage the only
2554s	reason they find themselves in this
2555s	situation is because they got that early
2556s	stock against the Harley Quinn lagger on
2558s	near the top of the blast zone so that's
2559s	one of the things you got to come to
2561s	terms with when you pick a stage like
2562s	this is that if you're near that top
2563s	platform it's going to be way easier to
2565s	try to get like a ladder which is
2566s	exactly what paradise and Kobe are
2569s	looking for they want those up air kills
2571s	they want those up special kills so
2573s	that's going to be something you're
2574s	going to see as a threat coming into
2575s	this set
2577s	it's it's a little bit more difficult
2578s	for Harley to get set up here as well
2580s	we're watching uh we're watching a
2582s	lagger just try to put down these boxes
2584s	to try to stop their movement as much
2587s	especially moving through the platforms
2589s	to set up for some of those ladder
2590s	attacks and it's not working the way
2592s	that I think lager wants inside of these
2594s	instances obviously unfortunately there
2596s	was an up air there Velma did pay for it
2599s	with her stock and blue team is just
2601s	sitting at very very pretty right now
2603s	not necessarily at 100 just kind of
2606s	touching around it right now bug's
2607s	actually finally hitting 100 but it
2610s	almost looks like a much safer 100 than
2612s	Velma I'm sorry then Velma and Harley
2614s	inside of that case what a nasty double
2617s	knockout to go ahead and secure that 3-0
2619s	victory for paradise and Kobe there
2621s	beautiful Play Beautiful on that then
2625s	that's why I did not agree with that
2626s	stage counter pick just because of
2627s	situations like that that only happened
2629s	because they counterpicked the triplets
2631s	here's that first stock by the way off
2632s	because they use the platform on the
2634s	left side to kind of extend their
2635s	verticality on the ladder and then in
2636s	the later on the replay you'll notice
2638s	that that's when they died at 21 damage
2641s	and that was only possible because of
2643s	the top platform so that was definitely
2645s	a case of red team kind of
2646s	counterpicking themselves against a team
2648s	like that because like it might be a
2649s	good team for Velma and Harley obviously
2651s	it's gonna give lager the ability to get
2652s	some early chaos but you're playing
2653s	against the bugs and Harley who both
2655s	want that so at the end of the day it
2657s	looks like they counter picked
2657s	themselves look at this that started
2659s	less than 15 damage it was all because
2661s	of that rocket they were able to
2662s	continue it because of that top platform
2665s	some of those rocket plays were so good
2667s	especially since we just saw atsuki
2670s	atsui another bug's play this play by
2673s	Kobe was completely different we saw
2676s	much much much more Rockets we saw many
2679s	more projectiles especially against this
2681s	combination and it's it's really funny
2683s	the way that we saw bugs really Excel
2685s	against Velma and Harley inside of this
2687s	matchup congratulations to both paradise
2690s	and Kobe who move forward on the winner
2692s	side of top 16 bracket so far
2696s	um Aussie do you have any final thoughts
2697s	about that match
2699s	uh 3-0 but it was close though so we're
2701s	moving on to this next set yet again
2703s	we're gonna go into top eight winners
2706s	semis by the way so actually a paradise
2708s	and NES Kobe secured themselves the top
2710s	eight spot here in the finals of EU
2712s	being on the bottom side of winter semis
2714s	we take a trip over to the top side of
2716s	that it's gonna be two Senpai and MJ
2719s	taking out psycho and macmatt to secure
2721s	themselves in Winter semis on the other
2723s	side but guys we're still trying to
2725s	figure out who's gonna be getting into
2726s	the rest of the top eight spots and why
2727s	we try to figure that out and we get
2729s	ready for our next set we're just gonna
2730s	take a quick little break please don't
2732s	go anywhere we got some more multiverses

3353s	welcome back everyone to the multiverses
3356s	fall Showdown Europe finals we've had 16
3359s	teams come in today and now we're
3361s	starting to get to the nitty-gritty in
3363s	the top eight part of the bracket tons
3366s	of teams have been coming in here a lot
3367s	of people have qualified for the past
3369s	month and a half but there's only a
3370s	couple more teams left here in the less
3373s	of the top baby before that Sharpie you
3374s	got something to say don't you
3376s	I do I want to say congratulations to
3379s	all the teams for getting this far
3380s	whether or not they're on the upper or
3382s	lower side of bracket and I want to
3384s	remind all of our viewers and listeners
3386s	that you can check out all the
3387s	highlights by going to twitter.com
3389s	mvsgaming to keep up on any competitive
3392s	multiverses in addition we will be
3394s	posting some exclusive polls amazing
3396s	clips and even better highlights on that
3398s	page as well you want to make sure
3400s	you're staying tuned and following that
3402s	page for any multiverses updates but
3404s	Aussie let's go ahead and get into our
3406s	very next match of this bracket we have
3408s	now officially started top eight we have
3411s	gotten through some of the craziness
3413s	from the first part of this bracket who
3415s	are we looking at for this very next set
3417s	so when he ordered the second part of
3419s	winter semis while we try to find her
3421s	out who's going to be the one for the
3422s	top part of it so this is going to be
3424s	risking and SJP facing off against
3427s	paradise and Es Kobe so we literally
3429s	just saw these guys bugs uh Harley Quinn
3432s	and bat or sorry Harley in Batman Harley
3435s	and bugs rather and they were doing
3437s	quite a lot of work there in that
3439s	previous set coming over from France and
3441s	they didn't drop a single game in this
3443s	whole tournament so far and honestly
3445s	this is kind of like a a little bit of a
3448s	a flash from the past right because in
3450s	number one EU open they got third place
3453s	they didn't drop a single game until
3455s	they got they faced off against the
3457s	people that knocked them out this
3459s	tournament they haven't lost a single
3460s	game yet except for the team that
3463s	they're not gonna place the guns against
3464s	that knocked them out in the previous
3466s	tournament it's the only time they've
3468s	ever dropped a single game was against
3470s	risking and SJP twice it got double
3473s	eliminated by this team in European open
3475s	number one so the other coming back so
3477s	here comes the end another Grudge Match
3478s	risking sap getting second place at that
3481s	open while paradise and Es Kobe ended up
3483s	getting third so you gotta Wonder like
3486s	is there was a little bit of grinding in
3488s	between those sets is a little bit of
3490s	like adapting coming out with the wait
3492s	and see how he's gonna be able to play
3493s	out because we've got risking SUV coming
3495s	all the way from Sweden and UK paradise
3497s	and yes Kobe coming from France
3499s	themselves so we've got some country
3500s	versus country battles going on too
3502s	and one of the things I do want to
3504s	clarify especially inside of these
3505s	matchups is communication is so
3507s	incredibly important you have to be able
3509s	to adapt so incredibly quickly inside of
3510s	these setups you know and it's one of
3512s	those things where when you watch a team
3514s	go 3-0 the entirety through bracket and
3517s	then you watch them run into issues
3519s	later on inside of the bracket
3520s	especially inside of top eight there's
3522s	an adaptation issue there you know like
3524s	they're either not able to adapt fast
3526s	enough or the other team is actually out
3528s	adapting them and it's it's going to be
3531s	really interesting to see what problems
3533s	we may run into in this very next match
3535s	especially since it's kind of a reminder
3537s	match just like we saw we've seen
3539s	previously inside of these sets now
3541s	going into this obviously austie we've
3543s	seen paradise and Kobe do amazing inside
3546s	of their previous set where they were
3548s	playing against RJ King and lager they
3549s	kind of dominate inside that match and
3551s	we talked about some of the adaptation
3553s	that we saw through their yomi and
3555s	through some of their Oki options do you
3557s	expect for us to go to Sky Arenas no
3559s	platforms first game again just to go
3561s	ahead and kind of get like a little bit
3562s	taster and then adapt from there or are
3564s	you expecting to see something else for
3566s	the round start
3567s	I'm going to be honest Sharpie what do
3569s	you think we're gonna go for game number
3570s	one because sky Arena I think we're
3572s	gonna be the map
3573s	what do you think what do you think
3575s	I think we're going to Mansion ah to be
3579s	to be
3581s	to be young again
3586s	the thing is over on any West with with
3589s	the introduction of Scooby's mansion
3591s	without the roof we actually saw that
3593s	stage a lot of the times over at nna so
3595s	it actually became a very popular
3596s	counterpick without the roof being there
3597s	especially within the past couple of
3599s	days they they raised the uh top of the
3601s	blast zone you know so it actually
3602s	becomes a really cool stage but we have
3605s	yet to see it so far today and again
3606s	Oscar arena is like the most common
3608s	starter stage not only for Europe but
3610s	also for n a and you know how much
3612s	Europe loves sky Arena bro they want to
3614s	be out there they're trying to train
3615s	with pearl man they're trying to get
3616s	that training you know what I'm saying
3618s	yeah no they wanna they wanna be out
3620s	there they want to be like stronger than
3622s	you you know for real for real um that's
3624s	a joke that I'm going to continue making
3625s	because everybody knows that rock mommy
3627s	Garnet is literally the best mommy out
3630s	there I see you Zork I see you let's go
3632s	anyway uh and and serious and on serious
3635s	side I'm really personally enjoying some
3637s	of the new stages that have been added
3638s	inside of the game you mentioned
3640s	Scooby's Mansion uh with a high ceiling
3642s	obviously is a very very popular
3645s	competitive pick especially on the n a
3647s	side but one of the other stages that
3649s	I'm really enjoying watch adapting which
3651s	unfortunately is no not legal for this
3653s	tournament is the Space Jam stage I
3655s	think it's a very very inventive stage
3657s	it actually does not have a floor at all
3660s	and by it does not have a floor I mean
3661s	there's no Blast Zone on the floor it's
3663s	just two straight walls right now and
3666s	the walls are actually breakable which
3668s	makes it a very very interesting fun
3669s	stage to play on right now there's still
3671s	a little bit of tweaking which is why
3673s	it's not available right now inside of a
3674s	competitive scene but it is going to be
3677s	a beautiful uh I think beautiful
3679s	addition to the current stage choices
3681s	that are currently inside of multiverses
3683s	do you personally outside of competitive
3685s	play and just in general have a favorite
3688s	stage Aussie and if you say tree fort I
3690s	just want to let you know I'm blocking
3691s	you on Twitter
3692s	Yeah we actually said my least favorite
3694s	stage actually uh tree board
3703s	sky Arena a lot sky Arena with no
3705s	plaques tends to be a very popular stage
3707s	I like to go to but Scooby's Mansion
3709s	ruthless is starting to become one of my
3711s	favorites and also actually crimeulons
3713s	those are like my top three stages right
3714s	now I'm actually a big fan of crimeulons
3716s	just because of like that middle
3717s	platform in the middle of the stage as
3719s	well as the stage transforming once you
3721s	break the stereo speakers and it kind of
3722s	changes up how you play on that stage
3724s	dramatically so a lot of stages coming
3726s	out and actually ranked mode just got a
3728s	little bit of a tweak as it came out
3729s	that a couple days ago but there's only
3731s	select few stages so a lot of people
3733s	have been responding very well to that
3735s	we'll see how it's going to be able to
3736s	play out for future of the competitive
3737s	play but now let's dive into the first
3739s	set of winners semis risking sap over
3742s	here on the blue side representing Velma
3745s	and a rain dog facing off against the
3748s	set players we just saw previously
3750s	paradise and Kobe with the Harley Quinn
3752s	and Bugs Bunny on the red team
3755s	now already I want to shout out this
3757s	rain dog right now because look at the
3758s	way rain dog is commanding the space
3760s	they have really not been able to touch
3761s	rain dog at all which is too that's an
3764s	accomplishment especially against the
3765s	Harley and a bug's two players or two
3768s	characters that really have a very
3770s	strong projectile game and another
3772s	character that is really able to go
3773s	ahead and approach pretty easily against
3776s	you so I I'm really really liking so far
3779s	the way that blue team's able to go
3780s	ahead and just play defensively while
3782s	also racking up quite a considerable
3783s	amount of damage on Bugs Bunny and
3785s	Harley so far they are sticking together
3787s	literally like peanut butter and jelly
3789s	right now and look at that very first
3791s	knockout situation onto the bugs
3793s	Paradise immediately getting ringed out
3795s	and that first stop Advantage going over
3798s	the blue team
3799s	playing that double support team is a
3802s	little bit unorthodox but it ends up
3803s	working really well for them because
3805s	both rain dog and Velma can scrap when
3807s	need be right they can actually get in
3809s	there and start to do some big damage
3810s	whenever they need to they're really
3812s	good at setting up shop too however they
3813s	put this ice potion here that gives them
3815s	all the time in the world so rather
3816s	they're showing up some word bubbles
3817s	some makeup on the teammate to add
3818s	either some health recovery or gray
3820s	Health on top of that you can put the
3822s	ice potion to get them set up shop so
3823s	you put the electric Crystal they can
3825s	put up the fire they can just start
3826s	basically they know how to set up a
3828s	bunch of traps in one part of the stage
3830s	because of the weight nature this tank
3831s	team works also this is team passive
3834s	damage rain dog is gonna be throwing out
3836s	a ton of passive damage all over the
3837s	field whether it's the Fireballs coming
3839s	down on the ground the tether adding on
3841s	some additional damage whatever it
3842s	touches the opponent giving the ability
3843s	to also have that additional perk of
3845s	being able to leash them on in case
3846s	they're about to go flying into the
3847s	Blazer and also just that lightning
3849s	Crystal to start with it's going to be
3851s	able to follow them with the unique perk
3852s	just tons of passive damage that's just
3854s	gonna add up quickly throughout the rest
3856s	of the game
3857s	now that is exactly what the red team
3860s	wanted right there that nice little
3861s	group up and unfortunately they did not
3863s	come up ahead of it now uh Velma getting
3865s	all of her trading cards needed to go
3867s	ahead and call the mystery machine not
3869s	able to get any damage very easily eaten
3871s	up by the projectile game from both
3874s	Harley and bugs there but look at that
3876s	percentage damage right now on Velma and
3878s	rained on this is not the situation they
3880s	want they do not want to be separated
3881s	like this and you already see both
3883s	double knockout situations that is kind
3885s	of red team's win condition right now if
3888s	they get blue team separated enough far
3890s	enough that that peanut butter and jelly
3892s	sandwich comes apart they are looking at
3894s	very very easily knock outable
3896s	characters so it's really up to Blue
3899s	Team to kind of stay close together kind
3901s	of keep inside that situation where
3902s	they're able to go ahead and knock up
3903s	but also not get too grouped that
3905s	they're stuck inside of this Wombo
3907s	situation that we see right here
3909s	and they're playing pretty dominantly
3911s	right now es Kobe being at 85 damage
3913s	final points for blue team they just
3914s	need to get one clean down here off
3916s	stage or even turn the tables on and do
3918s	a reversal with an up air themselves and
3920s	play as safely as possible because at
3921s	this point it's all about just trying to
3923s	play the survival game Letty as Kobe
3924s	till stay in the back line screw it do
3926s	the 2V1 against uh Paradise instead and
3929s	make it work out in your favor that's
3930s	exactly what's happening because you're
3931s	seeing that uh Paradise is the one
3933s	that's charging and playing the
3935s	aggressive game and going into the blast
3937s	zone right there but here comes our
3938s	rocket this is not a bad spot for SCP
3940s	he's off stage he has to get out
3943s	and nice coverage coming up from risking
3946s	as he goes all the way to the top of the
3947s	blossom connects the upper plays
3950s	coverage for SJP so that they can
3951s	actually finally get that game boy near
3954s	the very very close ending they've
3956s	barely got that by the skin of their
3957s	team Sharpie
3959s	I just wanted
3960s	I know for a fact Kobe is beating the
3966s	meeting the play by SJP to go ahead and
3968s	micro Dodge some of those down airs from
3971s	Harley but he then moved on to go ahead
3975s	and secure that final knockoff uh Kobe I
3977s	know Kobe is just like literally we only
3979s	needed that one spot right there there
3982s	were several situations where it was
3983s	looking very precarious for The Blue
3985s	Team just because of some of the
3987s	knockout situations that they were in we
3989s	saw several times where red team did go
3990s	ahead and get them to group up not
3991s	necessarily add Advantage but look at
3993s	this very snap last stock right here
3994s	look at this situation you see those two
3996s	down ears right there until Velma comes
3998s	back they literally that's P had to play
4001s	the defensive game for literally 20
4003s	seconds by themselves now that is a big
4007s	brain uh rain dog if I if I know a big
4010s	bang Ray dog that's a big brain radar we
4012s	were talking about house arrest and monk
4014s	being big brain I don't think I don't
4017s	think Velma and Rain dog can even light
4021s	a candle to Morty and Rain dog to be
4023s	honest but they came pretty freaking
4025s	close there
4026s	I mean that was they also avoided The
4028s	Bugs Bunny down there right before so
4030s	that was actually three down airs that
4032s	fgb avoided to in order to like secure
4034s	that Victory and the whole time he was
4036s	playing bait down there they gave plenty
4038s	plenty of time for uh risking to just
4041s	jump in there and secure that stock
4044s	playing the expert bait by staying down
4047s	they're like oh no I'm in Danger Don't
4049s	Spike me and while they're all all their
4051s	attention was centered on the rain dog
4053s	and Guinness fight because that was
4054s	their win con they just completely
4056s	forgot that risky was gonna spawn in and
4058s	just get a really easy knockout I'm
4059s	gonna go for a counter pick here add
4061s	some platforms I agree with this
4062s	counterfeit this is actually a fantastic
4064s	counter pick for red team this is what's
4066s	going to be able to give them some more
4067s	easier ladders having those striped
4069s	flats are gonna allow them to be able to
4070s	continue the combos even closer to the
4073s	top of the blast zone and on top of that
4074s	it's not a pretty bad counterpick in
4076s	terms of for Velma Velma is kind of a
4078s	little bit harder for her to like get
4079s	some of her um projectiles and her traps
4082s	ready to get set up so interesting
4083s	counterfeit to come out from Red Team
4085s	this is gonna work out very well for
4086s	them I'm guessing I'm I'm thinking the
4089s	platforms is definitely a smarter pick
4090s	here by the red team because it is more
4093s	so in Harley's advantage and it doesn't
4095s	allow rain dog to get us started as we
4098s	want a beautiful first knock out there
4100s	by the blue team look at this early
4102s	control they always secure they've
4104s	secured it inside the last game let's
4106s	hear it inside the first one we're
4107s	watching them stick together and always
4109s	they are literally always between that
4112s	tunnel and ready to get any type of
4114s	approach by the red team very good trade
4116s	as well
4118s	yeah literally that first opening stock
4120s	from risking was incredible he had him
4122s	he caught him off stage with like
4124s	literally his last resource going for
4125s	the up specialty that I'm very low
4126s	damage catches him with the camera which
4128s	is like really easy to kind of react to
4129s	where they're gonna go with that move
4130s	and manage to secure that knockout and
4133s	now blue team still playing
4134s	predominantly here in control yes it's a
4137s	tied game in terms of the point
4138s	scoreboard but in terms of damage SJP is
4141s	on a fresh stock so we might as well
4143s	just keep going on there this is a very
4144s	dangerous territory look I'm starting to
4146s	stuff a lot of shop here with the
4147s	Fireballs add on those debuffs towards
4149s	red team as they're desperately trying
4151s	to find their opening here and try to
4153s	get another KO on top of it
4155s	I really like the trade right now of
4157s	aggression and dominance basically
4159s	between the Velma and the rain dog you
4161s	can see now that velma's playing a
4163s	little bit more of a soft tank rain dogs
4164s	being a lot more aggressive than we see
4166s	inside the past um I'm noticing
4167s	especially whenever Velma starts getting
4169s	over 80 right now it starts taking a
4172s	much more active role which is allowing
4173s	Delma to get up even higher on the stock
4175s	percentages and being a lot more
4177s	defensive for that Velma is ultimately
4178s	resulting in situations where blue
4180s	team's able to get even more passive
4181s	damage because of that tether and it's
4184s	it's really really working out in blue
4185s	team's Advantage right now you can see
4187s	with them literally only being One Stop
4189s	away from Victory it's really looking
4191s	like it's red team's game to come back
4193s	to
4195s	is so good in his favor look at him go
4198s	back down there secure that stock while
4201s	he was off stage the entire time yet
4203s	again the similar thing to game number
4205s	one he was playing bait off stage he's
4208s	like look at me look at me on Mr
4210s	meeseeks don't Spike me off stage and
4212s	the whole time red team was desperate to
4215s	get them and then what happened what
4217s	happened risking goes over there and
4218s	gets a spike on someone when he was
4220s	playing distraction yet again SJP is so
4224s	dominant when he's in disadvantage I've
4225s	never seen someone feel so comfortable
4227s	off stage with a rain dog it's one of
4229s	those things that I'm really personally
4231s	appreciating with SJP I know I had an
4233s	opportunity to see them as I had one of
4234s	the very first opens that I commentated
4235s	with you Aussie but watching their
4237s	Improvement as a rain dog player it's
4239s	very obvious to me that not only are
4241s	they comfortable not necessarily playing
4242s	the most optimal rain dog skin there is
4244s	which is rain dog money but they're also
4246s	very optimal baiting their opponent you
4248s	know and that's what really really comes
4250s	down to look at look at this exact
4251s	opportunity that you're talking about
4252s	right here gets them off the stage them
4254s	immediately covers up the remainder of
4257s	their options and then says you're not
4259s	coming back on this stage not on your
4261s	life not on your mama not on rain dog
4263s	mummy skin which is once again the best
4265s	right dog skin in existence
4267s	and it's also if you manage to play the
4269s	Halloween event got enough candy it was
4270s	only like 2 000 candies so it was pretty
4272s	easy to get to also the gold skin you
4275s	know the one that we're rocking right
4276s	now that's like 30 000 gold or something
4278s	I like that we have all these costumes
4280s	that you can get without having to spend
4281s	gleamia or buy the battle pass or
4283s	anything it's really cool to see these
4284s	costumes come into fruition but now
4286s	we're jumping into game number three
4287s	they are down two to oh and we are
4290s	seeing a counter pick come into play The
4293s	Shaggy steps out to fight
4295s	now you talked about the Shaggy
4297s	counterpick earlier inside of the match
4299s	where we saw uh and you basically said
4301s	Shaggy as and you were correct and
4303s	saying Shaggy is considered a Shoto
4305s	player which is a character archetype
4307s	that kind of has answers at any point of
4309s	stage on the map it's going to be
4311s	interesting seeing exactly how it's
4313s	going to change the way that red team's
4315s	able to approach against this Velma and
4317s	this rain dog I don't really think that
4319s	shaggy has as many uh approaching
4321s	options as they're looking for but the
4322s	important thing is that shaggy does have
4323s	that armor which we already saw come
4324s	into play here to go ahead and get a
4326s	little bit of a cleaner approach but
4328s	Jackie just doesn't have those thinking
4329s	abilities that he needs in order to get
4331s	in there it's not going to matter if
4332s	he's able to get them in these combos
4333s	we're already able to see them separate
4336s	SJP from risking here which is allowing
4338s	them rack up a little bit of damage but
4340s	at the cost of their own percentages
4341s	right now it's really just an even trade
4344s	so far we're not necessarily seeing any
4346s	big Advantage come out from that shaggy
4348s	powder finish
4349s	I've actually talked with some of the
4351s	players from n a about shagging about
4353s	how you play Shaggy optimally it's
4355s	interesting that you said that he kind
4356s	of has he struggles a little bit to
4358s	approach right I think it's optimal
4359s	Shaggy player is one that does not
4361s	approach he's one that chills back
4363s	charges rage only goes in when he finds
4365s	that his teammates in trouble and tries
4366s	to play some interrupting game and plays
4368s	like kind of like you know a little
4370s	pulling game instead and instead it's
4372s	kind of chilling in the background but
4373s	unfortunately doesn't get any sort of
4374s	time to be able to go for it got almost
4376s	a two for one here from risking getting
4378s	the spike with the downer against Shaggy
4379s	thinking the megaphone against es Kobe
4382s	and now again we're gonna see another
4383s	rage coming to play looks like he's
4384s	running the unique perk that allows him
4385s	to consume the sandwich to make the the
4388s	rage charge even faster which is why he
4389s	does look how fast that charge is Boom
4391s	it's already done because he had the
4392s	sandwich and he ate it very very smart
4394s	pick I think actually as well because
4396s	especially when you're playing up
4397s	against a rain dog and Velma two
4399s	characters with really high cooldowns on
4401s	some of their specials uh that that
4403s	speed is really going to add up
4405s	especially because of the armor that you
4407s	get on some of your moves especially
4409s	you're like I want to call it like a
4411s	dive kick almost even though it's not
4413s	one you know what I'm talking about the
4414s	stair yeah yeah I I think it's really
4416s	really important that you're able to
4418s	charge that especially because that rage
4419s	armored Sarah is just so incredibly
4421s	important for Shaggy's game especially
4422s	when it comes
4424s	yeah his side's special especially with
4426s	the rage is so strong because of that
4429s	armor because it goes through armor on
4431s	top of that and just other like
4432s	properties on top of that meanwhile the
4434s	uh the knee move he's been throwing out
4436s	is such a good move to be able to charge
4438s	up as well just to like you know get on
4440s	there and be able to try to open people
4441s	up and he's getting a lot of rage
4443s	charges and that's why I think we saw a
4444s	Discounter could come out from Shaggy is
4446s	because blue team likes to play a little
4448s	bit passive they want to be in the back
4449s	line they're trying to set up traps
4450s	she's like okay cool while you're doing
4451s	all that I'm charging red who's in so
4453s	many range charges already come out from
4455s	Paradise that seems to be like paying
4457s	out kind of in dividends there's the
4458s	mystery machine you can call it a
4459s	megaphone from downtown baby that was a
4462s	three-pointer is that LeBron bro
4464s	KO dog my word
4467s	you know I I am a lot of damage coming
4472s	out on the red team to The Blue Team
4475s	side so the blue team is sitting over
4476s	here at these high percentages one of
4478s	the things I'm not seeing are these
4479s	knockout secures right now and I think
4480s	it really comes down to the fact
4481s	beautiful beautiful knockout there
4483s	really really strong but is it going to
4486s	be enough they really have to work for
4488s	this final knockout and I don't know if
4490s	the game that they're playing right now
4491s	just racking up damage is going to be
4493s	enough I'm not seeing the follow-up that
4495s	that the red team has right now they're
4497s	able to get these percentages up they're
4499s	not following off stage to secure them
4501s	inside the blast out I'm not seeing that
4502s	same level of connection that I'm seeing
4504s	on the blue Level side and it's kind of
4506s	nasty it's kind of nasty yeah this is a
4509s	dangerous situation for red team they
4511s	are literally one aerial uh one of air
4514s	or one up special away from being
4517s	knocked out and losing the set and
4519s	that's all it took right there right
4521s	there just a quick little fire from rain
4525s	dog we'll go ahead and fire them out of
4528s	this bracket pudding them up I'm sure
4530s	putting blue team up 3-0 over red team
4533s	now this is exactly what I was concerned
4535s	about with that counter pick Aussie
4537s	going into the set even though Shaggy is
4539s	a fantastic choice and a fantastic
4540s	opportunity for someone that's really
4541s	good like you said previously for
4543s	interrupting for racking up that damage
4545s	for getting inside of The Fray he does
4547s	not have as many movement options as you
4549s	need in order to catch up with someone
4550s	as floaty as a rain dog or someone as
4553s	like I want to say as uh as like you
4556s	know scalable as a Velma like it's
4558s	difficult to stick to them and that's
4560s	really where the red team was lacking
4562s	you can see how many times the blue team
4563s	was able to go ahead and rack up these
4565s	percentages while they were just sitting
4566s	someone was always on the other side of
4568s	this this the the stage they were
4570s	literally consistently sandwiched
4572s	between the blue team and that mattered
4574s	Because by the time they got down to
4575s	that final stock option look at Red Team
4577s	both players over a hundred percent very
4580s	easily within knockoutable range and
4583s	with that final uh just illumination
4585s	from Velma securing the win for the blue
4587s	team it kind of looked like blue team
4590s	was in control of Advantage State the
4593s	entire match
4594s	especially at that last moment there
4596s	where they were just like center stage
4598s	and just throwing out constant barrage
4599s	of projectiles there was a moment there
4601s	where like they couldn't break through
4603s	at one point I saw a very questionable
4605s	side special come out from Paradise
4606s	because he charged his rage and he
4609s	looked desperate to get in so he just
4610s	threw it out randomly when he was
4611s	nowhere near someone just to try to like
4613s	power through but then and still got
4615s	caught off by our projectiles so they
4616s	definitely struggled at the end against
4618s	the stage control they're gonna go down
4619s	with a 3-0 finish but that's gonna net
4621s	risky and SJP a spot in winners finals
4624s	already for Europe got some other
4626s	results here before we jump into this
4627s	next step by the way we got pass and uh
4630s	M taken down RJ King and lager gonna go
4634s	down with that Ninth Place finish while
4635s	Paz and Minnie Michael are going to move
4637s	on into losers round one of top eight
4639s	other side of the token a big upset by
4642s	the way is uh Phantom and mitsukin
4644s	taking a 3-1 over viren and rip for
4647s	those that don't know you've got second
4649s	place at the second EU open and is now
4652s	going down with a Ninth Place Finn
4654s	finish that's going to be an unfortunate
4656s	placement for them but now we're gonna
4657s	dive into other side of winter semis
4659s	immediately let's go into it we got two
4664s	pleb tank and Timmy two two two two two
4666s	two two
4668s	now uh two piece of her these are these
4672s	are two these are two teams that I'm
4675s	actually very familiar with we had an
4677s	opportunity to uh
4681s	we had an opportunity to commentator
4683s	matches like the very first open and MJ
4686s	is a character that I'm very very very
4688s	very much so a fan of even though they
4690s	do play Batman I'm not necessarily a
4692s	Batman fan I am an MJ fan uh I think MJ
4695s	does a great job regardless of whether
4697s	or not he's playing Batman or whether or
4699s	not he's playing Shaggy you see
4701s	incredibly oppressive play regardless
4703s	and that is what I am a fan of then when
4706s	you bring in two Senpai over here to
4708s	follow up on some of these conversions
4709s	it just turns into a quick damage attack
4712s	which is what you see already on Finn or
4714s	I'm sorry on Morty look at that 58 right
4717s	now their win condition on red side
4719s	really is to go ahead and get some of
4721s	these grenade setups ready and allow
4723s	Finn to go ahead and secure those
4725s	Knockouts in the blast zone right now
4727s	where's blue teams blue teams game is to
4730s	go ahead and get them inside of that
4731s	Wombo Combo go ahead and get Arya
4734s	massively mess them up so that they are
4737s	inside of hits done and then have Batman
4739s	come through with some of those DP or
4742s	just allow Batman to go ahead and sure
4744s	you can just like we've seen before and
4745s	allow Arya to follow up now we're
4747s	looking at Blue Team both members being
4749s	over 100 very nasty play very very good
4753s	grappling recovery to go ahead and save
4754s	both of them there and we are looking at
4757s	a very very very close Contender for
4759s	first knockout which does ultimately go
4761s	in the red team's favor now currently
4763s	one knockout over the blue
4765s	yeah two sent by an MJ such a strong
4768s	Contender did drop a single set in their
4769s	bracket when they won number two and one
4771s	of the things about their team is that
4772s	they are playing a glass Cannon Team bro
4774s	they're both playing extremely light
4775s	characters so I am shocked that MJ's
4778s	actually like surviving to this like
4780s	point right sitting at 149 damage
4783s	literally one down air from either
4785s	character could send them flying and
4787s	then we have Club tank over here playing
4788s	with the fin trying to get something
4790s	going finally finds a mark with Timmy's
4792s	Morty gets that kill but might be a
4794s	little bit too late because now pleb is
4795s	trying to struggle to get down to the
4797s	ground and there he goes from that cider
4799s	you gotta remember in the past four days
4800s	spin has actually been his weight was
4801s	nerfed a little bit he was dropped to
4803s	kind of match the other assassins so
4804s	he's going to be falling off faster than
4806s	other characters whenever he gets called
4808s	off near the Blast Zone
4811s	look at these permanent weekend Stacks
4814s	right now just racking up that damage
4815s	Finn is already at 75 literally after
4818s	just coming back onto the stage Dean's
4821s	weekend Stacks are doing some very real
4823s	work right now they are consistently
4826s	inside of these combos against the red
4828s	team and they're consistently knocking
4829s	out this damn look at that look at the
4832s	way that that fin flew Austy are you
4835s	seeing that was because of the save
4837s	point so what happens is Morty activates
4839s	save point and when someone gets thrown
4840s	into the blast zone you can teleport to
4842s	me to where their spot is that doesn't
4844s	even matter they're gonna get that up
4845s	there KO take secure that game number
4847s	one in favor of blue team and that's
4849s	actually what's making Morty kind of a
4850s	meta pick for a lot of Na and Europe
4852s	starting to catch up to it is that this
4854s	character has the ability to save you
4856s	from literally anywhere on the screen by
4858s	the simple button push as long as he's
4861s	not preoccupied by in the middle of
4863s	attacking someone or being attacked
4864s	himself and he's not committing to
4866s	anything he can easily just tap down
4867s	special and it's gonna activate point if
4870s	his teammates anywhere near the blast
4871s	zone he gets teleported over to where he
4873s	is it's what makes monkey house arrest
4875s	such a strong team in the over nnas
4877s	because they have the ability to save
4878s	each other so when you see Morty by
4880s	themselves that's primarily his main
4882s	concern is trying to keep pleb tank
4883s	alive that's exactly what he did there
4885s	in that situation we kind of flew over
4886s	to the center of the stage
4888s	now simpi is a character or is a player
4892s	that I'm really really used to seeing
4893s	take this incredibly aggressive like
4895s	follow-up movement especially when it
4897s	comes to some of these Knockouts from MJ
4899s	because MJ just does a great job of
4901s	playing that super aggressive rushed
4904s	down character inside of these matchups
4906s	we've talked before how much we've seen
4908s	some of the meta shift away from this
4910s	specific setup of kind of like a
4912s	bruisery like attack person and then
4915s	like more of like a kind of passive
4917s	damage that also follows up on it and
4919s	that's exactly the game that simpi and
4921s	MJ both play here they're not really
4923s	doing a support Batman build where he
4926s	kind of sits back and just you know adds
4928s	up that passive amount of damage he is
4930s	in The Fray and he is up there setting
4932s	up for the Arya to simpi who is amazing
4936s	at following up on these knockout
4937s	opportunities as we saw on that very
4939s	first knockout and that final knockout
4940s	situation in that very first game but I
4942s	do want to ask you Aussie are we looking
4944s	at a possible change right now for the
4946s	red team just based off what we saw
4948s	previously is there maybe something that
4950s	the red team can go ahead and kind of
4951s	adjust or change in order to to be more
4954s	at an advantage state in this set
4956s	they gotta not lose um they're probably
4959s	going to stay with their characters
4959s	they're probably gonna go back to sky
4961s	Arena no plots to be honest because it's
4963s	like a kind of like an easy stage film
4965s	to be able to just play on both
4966s	characters both teams kind of benefit
4967s	the same type of stuff from that type of
4969s	stage but I do want to point out that
4971s	pleb tank and Timmy actually lost who
4972s	sent to Senpai and MJ in uh the EU open
4976s	number two so like there's again another
4978s	Grudge Match coming up here to try to
4980s	get that you know uh get that revenge
4982s	and if history repeats itself the teams
4984s	that won past uh the past set ended up
4986s	winning again this time around that's so
4987s	far we're two for two with that are we
4989s	about to be three for three I mean right
4991s	now things are saying everything's
4992s	looking and saying yes you know magic
4993s	eight ball what is it we got we're up
4995s	1-09 right now for a blue team coming
4997s	from Poland and Netherlands Club tank
4999s	and Timmy coming from Germany gonna see
5001s	how they're gonna be able to come into
5003s	this match with fists a swinging
5007s	mm-hmm I'm I'm really hoping that we do
5012s	get a return over to platforms just
5014s	because I actually think it would be
5015s	better inside of Morty's opportunities
5018s	for some of these grenade setups but um
5021s	I'm I'm sure we'll see no platforms yet
5023s	again which is of course a favorite over
5025s	here on the EU side
5027s	um and I'm just I'm expecting no
5029s	platforms I'll be fine in both instances
5031s	wait am I hearing a sound change you and
5034s	I understand wow okay we are
5036s	let's go we're going to mansion we're
5039s	going to Mansion we're going to own the
5041s	Amanda as a matter of fact look at look
5043s	at the good grace of player first games
5046s	allowing me to commentate one of my very
5049s	first Mansion setups in this entire EU
5052s	bracket I love y'all I love y'all so
5054s	much I'm now rooting for red team
5056s	Sharpie I just got word a Sharpie I just
5059s	got word it looks like this was a
5060s	mistake in terms of stage being picked
5061s	they're gonna redo this game right now
5067s	hahaha
5068s	I almost thought my face literally bro
5072s	okay look there's something that I
5074s	really appreciate about mansion and I
5076s	think it's the reason why we saw red
5078s	team counterfeit to that it's because
5079s	grenades really does Excel on this
5081s	because of that you're going literally
5083s	because of that because of that middle
5085s	roof area is so good it's so good for
5089s	characters with a projectile like uh
5091s	like like with a specially an
5093s	interactable projectile light grenade it
5096s	does allow Morty to get significantly
5097s	more setups you have been with some
5099s	amazing up air uh up aerial moves
5103s	especially when you're looking at his
5104s	Nair a backpack to go ahead and secure
5106s	things inside of the Mansion it's just a
5108s	good opportunity to rack up and it does
5110s	allow quite a bit of opportunity which
5112s	is what we're not seeing from 260.
5116s	and uh MJ here it's it's it's a it's
5119s	looking a little bit like a blow up
5120s	right now it's looking a little bit like
5122s	a blow up for Redtube I'm not gonna hold
5124s	it that was such a sick KO from MJ the
5127s	batarang over to the edge 30 damage
5129s	managed to get that really early KO and
5131s	things are starting to turn into uh
5133s	Looney Tunes stage if you will because
5135s	people are just bouncing like crazy from
5137s	the ceiling another down are going to
5138s	come up we're gonna see two zip I'd be
5139s	able to survive that a little bit longer
5141s	119 damage here on Timmy he's pretty
5144s	much gonna be the one that needs to
5145s	survive for as long as possible but he's
5146s	also going to become the prime target no
5147s	Denver Falls coming up M James he's
5149s	gonna chase after him fantastic recovery
5151s	from Timmy to get back onto the stage he
5153s	is bouncing like crazy collateral damage
5155s	all over the place he's gonna continue
5157s	to be able to survive for even longer
5159s	he's gonna throw out tons of hitbox
5161s	everyone's bouncing all over the place
5164s	appreciate the bouncy house aspect of
5166s	mansions every single time and I think
5168s	one of the things we're seeing right now
5169s	is as long as Morty stays inside of this
5171s	super spooky house he will live they
5173s	have an opportunity right now to win an
5175s	Unfortunately they did get bounced
5177s	outside of the bouncy house and two
5179s	simpi and MJ secure that by the
5183s	tip of their teeth literally moving
5185s	forward not necessarily for it I'm sorry
5187s	2-0 inside of this set so far one more
5190s	win will secure them the entirety of the
5192s	set but look at some of these first
5193s	stocks right here look at what red team
5194s	was able to accomplish just because of
5197s	how Mansion is set up those two slopes
5200s	up there on the roof are incredibly
5201s	advantageous for characters like Finn
5204s	for characters like rain dog for
5206s	characters like Shaggy because they do
5208s	allow a lot more for your hitbox
5210s	property when you get up there it's
5212s	significantly more inside of your favor
5213s	especially inside of the house and I
5215s	think that's something that both Morty
5217s	and Finn were actively aware of I also
5220s	really appreciated the way in general
5221s	that MJ did secure a lot of that middle
5223s	ground even though it is one of the most
5225s	dangerous areas inside of the house you
5227s	do not want to be directly underneath
5229s	that roof inside of mansions but you
5232s	know what Aussie Against All Odds we saw
5234s	mansion inside of this tournament and I
5236s	am happy I am very happy right now can
5238s	you tell would you would you have been
5241s	happy with Naes because that's also when
5242s	we all saw Scooby's mansion with a roof
5244s	once as well on top of that now it's
5246s	just as Looney tuna bro people just
5248s	bouncing all over the place it's why a
5250s	lot of players tend to like try to ban
5252s	that stage or rather try to like avoid
5253s	is because they don't like being like
5255s	table tops like all over the place but
5257s	it also allows for a little bit of
5259s	counter pick Advantage especially with
5260s	hazards off the little cranks are no
5262s	longer on the stage so it allows even
5264s	like a little bit more control right
5266s	when the floors are also not dropping
5267s	randomly creating these like uh chasms
5270s	across the stage so now we're gonna see
5272s	the counter pick obviously did not work
5273s	out for them they're still down two to O
5275s	and that's something we're seeing a lot
5277s	of today right now Sharpie I'm looking
5278s	at all earlier on this bracket there are
5281s	a lot of three O's and there's a couple
5283s	three ones and very few three twos just
5285s	tons and tons of three that's all we've
5287s	been seeing on stream we're about to see
5289s	it one more time here I think pleb tank
5291s	and Timmy gotta pull something out of
5293s	their hat to bring this back to a game
5295s	number three I don't foresee them going
5296s	straight back to Scooby's mansion with
5298s	roof purely because of the um like it
5301s	didn't work out for that game you know
5302s	too that looked like a gamble of counter
5303s	picks so we'll have to wait and see
5305s	where they're going to be taking them
5306s	here for game number three
5307s	if I had to be honest with you one of
5309s	the stages that I actually think would
5310s	be best for them in terms of counter
5315s	countered specifically the 2v2 setup
5317s	instead of like the closed one with the
5318s	1v1
5320s	um I I do think that those those
5322s	specifically more recovery options would
5324s	be really nice for them coming back onto
5326s	the stage and the fact that the ceiling
5327s	is relatively low means that they'll
5329s	have an opportunity to go ahead and
5330s	knock them out I like them going back to
5332s	I like them going back to Mansions
5333s	though I do appreciate them going back
5335s	to Mansions specifically because I
5338s	actually think they had a closer
5339s	opportunity of winning on this stage
5340s	than they did previously on Sky Arenas
5343s	even with the supposed RNG that Everyone
5345s	likes to talk about on Mansions I
5347s	actually think this is a really good
5348s	stage for Finn players and I stand by
5350s	that
5351s	what makes this a really good counter
5353s	pick for red team just in general is
5355s	because blue team wants vertical chaos
5357s	that's what Batman and Arya want all the
5360s	time when you put the roofs there they
5362s	can only get those vertical Ko's in the
5363s	center of the stage or when they're off
5365s	stage so if they manage to get it near
5366s	the sides they can't secure a knockout
5368s	because of that so that's why we're
5369s	seeing this counterpick come into play
5371s	from Red Team they're just trying to
5372s	bank on the fact that they're gonna go
5373s	for the horizontal chaos and said and
5375s	right now they're doing a pretty okay
5376s	job of just Timmy Staying Alive here
5378s	being at 44 damage not being a big prime
5380s	target but Club tank is getting beat up
5382s	right now safely gonna be able to save
5384s	him and that's going to be Senpai going
5385s	down into the blast zone first point
5387s	going towards red
5389s	we we are probably if red team wins this
5392s	I'm 100 positive we are going to see a
5394s	Mansions fan I am 100 positive we will
5397s	see a Mansions fan if red team comes out
5399s	on top of us but I just want to
5401s	congratulate beautiful high fives there
5402s	amazing amazing high five got the angle
5405s	properly got off that route and they're
5407s	just playing off the roof game right now
5409s	they're just sitting up there they're
5410s	totally content trading out for these
5412s	thoughts especially since they are
5413s	literally one stock over uh two simpy
5416s	and MJ right now they are totally fine
5418s	trading and I think red team's a lot
5420s	more comfortable with the pacing of the
5422s	match right now because blue team's kind
5424s	of scrambling a little bit they don't
5425s	have their feet inside of the house they
5427s	don't have the damage again they don't
5428s	have the stock advantage and and even
5430s	with that combo right there on Arya you
5432s	watched her unfortunately put them back
5434s	inside of the Mansion which was not what
5435s	she was trying to do there it's very
5437s	clear to me that blue team is not
5439s	comfortable on the stage
5441s	yeah I mean the thing is they're not
5443s	that comfortable but right now they're
5445s	flying all over the place Match Point
5447s	here for red team two sempi going down
5449s	yet again for the second stock now
5451s	everything's on MJ they're trying to
5452s	play that stock tank role and try to
5454s	stay alive so we're gonna try to chase
5455s	after Timmy managed to connect that
5456s	uppercut put another point for blue team
5458s	and now things are potentially possible
5460s	here to get against fin but
5461s	unfortunately save point was activated
5463s	on him he's gonna bring him back to the
5464s	center of the stage give him that
5466s	additional life like he's literally
5467s	living inside of a video game and now
5469s	things are looking kind of difficult
5470s	here look at MJ play Matt aggressive
5472s	though at 134 that's super dangerous
5474s	that is a huge gamble to be doing and
5475s	right now there's charging to slowly
5477s	bring this back bit by him and finally
5478s	get catches enough air there's the fire
5480s	coming up from Morty Timmy bringing it
5483s	home get that point on the board and
5485s	finally turn into a competitive set but
5487s	now they have lost all counter pick
5489s	Advantage there is no more counter picks
5491s	in this set for red team so now all the
5494s	stages for the rest of the set is going
5495s	to be purely wherever blue team wants to
5496s	go and I can guarantee you like you said
5497s	we're not going to be seeing Scooby's
5499s	mansion with a roof anytime soon from
5501s	this team definitely not you can see
5503s	just the way that red team was able to
5505s	go ahead and get started here very very
5507s	early very frequently they used Morty
5509s	save point as you said his down special
5511s	uh to go ahead and recover really early
5514s	back on the stage it operates very
5515s	similar to rain dog's tether but it is
5517s	on a significantly longer cooldown and
5519s	it unfortunately does not apply a DOT
5521s	while you're doing that but it does heal
5523s	which is very important because there
5524s	were several times where Finn was
5526s	actually able to get a very small heel
5528s	buff just because he was right on top of
5530s	the save point with Morty when they
5531s	recovered and that heel buff did give
5534s	them enough to retain a little bit more
5536s	of a state ability which is why they
5538s	were so low but what we'll probably see
5540s	as you said and as I've said before is
5542s	we will not see a return to Scooby's
5544s	Mansion at all unfortunately it could be
5546s	ruthless it could be ruthless I don't I
5549s	don't think they'll go to ruthless I
5550s	don't think they will because firstly as
5552s	you said before ruthless is a really bad
5554s	pick especially against the Batman and
5556s	Arya because there's only one direction
5557s	and that is up you do not want to put
5560s	them inside of that situation at all
5562s	especially because it's so easy for them
5563s	to combo against those walls inside of
5565s	mansion when there's ruthless but one of
5567s	the things I would like to see and that
5569s	I think we will probably see is we'll
5571s	probably see sky Arena platforms just
5573s	because they're not going to allow sky
5575s	Arena no platforms to come back onto
5577s	play I don't think we'll see sky Arena
5578s	platforms come back to play I think
5579s	that's a very very simple uh X out for
5583s	the red team there I think we will still
5585s	see sky Arena Platforms in play and I
5588s	think that is where we'll be going for
5589s	this final match here
5590s	and you gotta remember all the stages
5592s	right now are legal except for Space Jam
5595s	and you only get two bands when you win
5597s	so you can only X out two of those
5598s	stages in blue team and once those two
5600s	stages are gone blue team can pick any
5602s	stage Under the Sun that's not those two
5604s	stages or Space Jam as long as hazards
5605s	are off so if they want to take much
5607s	report they preferably could they would
5609s	not obviously but like that's just
5610s	letting them know that there's plenty of
5612s	stages for them to be able to go to so
5615s	sky Arena could easily be on the table
5617s	triplets or not it could be Scoobies no
5620s	roof it could be like literally so many
5621s	different stages it's all about where
5622s	pleb and Timmy are going to be able to
5624s	ban and it's all about where they feel
5626s	confident on so we're gonna see where
5627s	we're gonna be going if I was a betting
5629s	man I would say Skyrim and no plats
5632s	uh you really think it's gonna be no
5634s	plus I feel like I feel like they're not
5636s	going to allow my flats I feel like they
5638s	want triplets and triplets got banned
5640s	okay that would that would make sense to
5642s	me and look at the sky Arena it's gonna
5643s	be plaits or no plats let's see what we
5645s	got it does look like no Flats it does
5647s	look like no Flats okay um what can I
5649s	say I call what I call Bro
5653s	someone saying even a professional
5657s	s this
5658s	four here with two Senpai two games up
5661s	and a red team one game up we're looking
5664s	at a very very fast amount of damage
5667s	going out onto that Fin and almost a
5669s	knockout situation right there on Finn
5671s	who's now sitting at 100 immediately
5673s	save point does pull them back onto the
5676s	stage and we are looking at some Grapple
5678s	Games to keep them up inside of the air
5681s	yeah just trying to keep them Airborne
5683s	for as long as possible get that damage
5685s	going and right now it is racking
5686s	because now there's no more like roofs
5688s	or walls or anything in the way of them
5690s	just trying to heal claustrophobic it's
5692s	a nice big Open Stage for them to be
5693s	able to push that stage Advantage
5695s	because what makes Scooby's mansion with
5697s	the roof so bizarre is that you never
5698s	really truly have stage advantage on
5700s	that stage because it's like you know
5702s	where it is safe whereas on this you're
5703s	seeing a lot of dominance coming out
5705s	from Blue Team where they're staying on
5706s	the center stage even right there even
5707s	after that big conversion who's in
5709s	center stage it's blue team and now
5711s	we're seeing this push again coming out
5712s	from Blue trying to get that uh Edge
5714s	guard against blood tank gets another
5715s	uppercut off the bathroom and this is
5717s	exactly the type of gameplay I was
5718s	expecting when it's not on Scooby's roof
5720s	look at this they're just kind of
5721s	dominating right now triple digits here
5723s	on blue team because they go for a four
5724s	stock and it's very possible he's
5726s	looking for the downer career almost got
5727s	there right back on him throws at the
5730s	gem is out of money comes back on stage
5732s	and still three points to zero red team
5734s	is struggling very much so it does
5737s	definitely look like blue team's game
5739s	till loser you're looking some of these
5742s	horizontal I'm sorry specifically these
5744s	vertical Knockouts immediately just
5746s	early racked up by the blue team that is
5748s	going to be a double knockout in red
5750s	team's favor right now putting them on
5751s	the board with two over right now but
5754s	they are still literally at high
5756s	percentages meaning only one up air and
5758s	one up special is going to secure it for
5760s	two simpi and MJ securing them that win
5763s	3-1 over the red team Aussie how did we
5766s	get here
5768s	basically taking to a stage they feel
5770s	comfortable and that's literally all it
5771s	was they probably don't practice on
5773s	Scooby's mansion with a roof that often
5775s	and on top of that the stage Advantage
5777s	like I was saying earlier with Scooby's
5779s	mansion on roof the stage is unorthodox
5780s	compared to pretty much all the other
5782s	stages in the game except maybe trophies
5784s	Edge two and three four because center
5786s	stage in all platform Fighters is such a
5789s	golden spot to be for your team or your
5791s	player you want to control that stage
5793s	you want to make if you're more centered
5795s	that means you have more root you have
5796s	more options at your disposal as an
5799s	example let's say both players are in
5800s	center stage in red team teams up
5801s	against the corner red team can only
5803s	approach stay in the corner or go off
5806s	stage who's going to put them in
5807s	disadvantage blue team being Center
5808s	Stage they have more options at their
5810s	disposal they can opt to hold their
5812s	ground stay Center Stage they can
5814s	Retreat if they want to they feel a
5815s	little bit pressured and give up a
5816s	little bit of stage control and still be
5818s	safe and still have a little bit of
5819s	neutral they can all go all the way to
5821s	the edge they want to have plenty of
5822s	room to move around or they can push the
5824s	advantage and try to make them scared
5825s	and push them off stage which is why in
5828s	platform Fighters it's so important to
5829s	have that middle ground so when you
5831s	bring on a stage like Scooby's mansion
5833s	with the Roof Center Stage is no longer
5835s	desired because that's actually a danger
5836s	spot to be in because of that little
5838s	root that little tunnel in the beginning
5839s	so I feel like that's where blue team
5841s	was struggling is that they could no
5842s	longer control at center stage and
5843s	that's why it turns into like such a
5845s	Looney Tunes type of like action that we
5847s	saw so the second you took them to Stage
5848s	that they were comforted on that was
5849s	almost a four stock and it's nothing I
5851s	did not surprise me but now we gotta
5852s	move on into our next set we are flying
5855s	by guys that was Winter semis winners
5856s	finals happening on later today by the
5858s	way is going to be too simple and MJ
5859s	facing off against Rez King and SJP but
5861s	now we are diving over into losers
5864s	quarters I believe we are going to be
5866s	seeing some uh passy Bros with and
5868s	Minnie Michael basing off against
5871s	Phantom and mitsukin this is going to be
5872s	Poland versus France Ari and Iron Giant
5875s	on the left side and then we have I I
5877s	didn't really quite see who the
5878s	characters were on the right but it's
5879s	probably gonna be Superman and Arya or
5880s	Batman and Arya which one
5883s	yeah yeah so it's gonna be better look
5885s	I'm not shocked I'm not shocked
5887s	smart to choose Batman going up against
5890s	an Iron Giant type especially because
5892s	you're going to have a lot more
5893s	opportunities to interrupt
5894s	um you're going to have a lot more
5895s	ability to go ahead and catch up with
5897s	Arya who will probably be flying around
5898s	the screen it's just a lot more mobility
5900s	in general and look at the Scooby
5903s	mansion picks it is going to be a
5906s	ruthless very very smart thing I believe
5908s	especially by The Iron Giant and Arya
5910s	here
5911s	um I agree with the choice not only
5913s	because I'm a Scooby fan obviously but
5915s	just look at both of these teams both of
5917s	these teams want to go ahead and knock
5918s	you up off of the top of the stage and I
5921s	think this is a fantastic opportunity
5922s	for them to be able to do it so it is a
5924s	very fair game for I believe both blue
5927s	and red team here and it was a really
5928s	really good unique choice that we're
5931s	seeing here
5932s	yeah with Scooby's Mansion ruthless
5934s	because it's very very similar to sky
5936s	Arena no plats the only difference is
5938s	that the ceiling is higher than normal
5940s	so the vertical decals aren't going to
5942s	come as faster gonna manage to find that
5943s	one though at 78 against likes of Mario
5945s	light character of course that's going
5946s	to be able to KO and on top of that
5948s	walls do spawn in the beginning but
5949s	they're hardly like they're hardly a
5951s	factor because they only stay up for
5952s	like nearly a second they're usually
5953s	gone within the first 10 seconds of the
5955s	game so yeah especially Sky reading with
5956s	a little bit higher ceiling look at
5957s	these side air charges coming out from
5959s	Minnie Michael I'm sorry uh passy bro
5962s	trying to connect those and get them off
5964s	stage and get these really nice Kos with
5967s	the strike oh really really nice down
5970s	air there uh by I believe the stripe
5973s	actually sent that Batman flying
5975s	immediately they get back on it and look
5977s	at that area look at that Aria follow-up
5979s	look at that double knockout situation
5982s	because of that Aria immediately
5984s	punishes the Arya who was sitting at
5985s	over 150 and just like that Phantom and
5989s	mitsukin are already One stock away from
5991s	big right now with blue team struggling
5994s	to keep up right now red team relatively
5997s	still very healthy but it is anybody's
5999s	game at the situation one very well
6001s	placed up special could be a win for the
6006s	red team
6007s	yeah they just need to find their Mark
6009s	right now look at these gunshots coming
6010s	out from passy now the thing is passy is
6013s	doing that in such a fashion where he's
6015s	delaying the gunshots because he'll get
6017s	there's a greater chance of him being
6018s	able to get the knock back if you just
6020s	Spam it all three gunshots will come out
6022s	faster there's a less opportunity for
6023s	you to like you know get that additional
6025s	hit somewhere push them closer and
6026s	closer to the blossom look at that
6028s	grappling hook into uppercut to finish
6030s	it off from Phantom sitting over here
6032s	catching the Iron Giant which is kind of
6034s	a hard target to be able to avoid that
6036s	at first I was kind of like hesitating
6038s	at Phantom playing Batman instead of
6039s	supreme in this matchup because Superman
6041s	gains a lot against the likes of Iron
6043s	Giant as an example oops here likes to
6045s	play Superman against anytime he's
6046s	fighting against an Iron Giant purely
6047s	because he has grabs having grabs
6050s	against the like of Iron Giant is such a
6052s	disaster for the the Colossal character
6054s	purely because if he activates bolts
6056s	Superman ignores it he just goes through
6057s	and grabs you but we're seeing more
6059s	often than not even in the previous uh
6061s	date oops here did end up going Batman
6063s	against Iron Giant and maybe we're
6065s	seeing the exact same thing coming out
6066s	from Phantom where he is also up to go
6068s	for the Batman against them just because
6069s	of being able to chase him down and turn
6071s	Iron Giant into a combo food
6074s	things I do want to talk about is this
6075s	final stop
6079s	to play specifically caught before that
6081s	but I'm sure that you did Aussie was
6083s	that actual smoke bomb kind of like
6085s	passive reset up that we saw there and I
6087s	actually think that was instrumental to
6089s	the very last talk because what it
6090s	actually allowed Batman to do was go
6092s	ahead and get grappling hook off of
6094s	cooldown it allowed Arya to also get her
6096s	knife and her dagger setup off of
6098s	cooldown which allowed them to kind of
6100s	separate both the stripe and iron
6102s	diamond so that Batman was able to go
6104s	ahead and get that final uppercut on
6106s	iron dyron to go ahead and go and secure
6108s	that final stock I think that final
6110s	moment was actually instrumental as to
6112s	what we can expect moving forward inside
6113s	of this set because there's something
6115s	that the Batman and the Arya are doing
6117s	right now and that is being very very
6120s	patient when they're actually at
6122s	disadvantage and we saw the entirety of
6123s	the very last match they took a much
6125s	more defensive play and that's not
6126s	necessarily something that we've seen
6127s	throughout the entirety of all of these
6129s	sets we've seen a lot of players become
6131s	actually a lot more aggressive when
6132s	they're at disadvantage day to try to
6134s	get it back because the pacing of this
6136s	game is so easy to lose when you are at
6139s	disadvantage that's not what blue team
6141s	or I'm sorry red team is doing inside
6143s	this case Phantom and mitsu are actually
6145s	taking the time to go ahead and kind of
6147s	be a lot more passive wait for the team
6149s	to come to them or completely stop what
6152s	they're doing and get their cooldowns
6153s	back up before they reapproach and I
6155s	think that's going to get them very very
6156s	far it's something that you see a lot of
6158s	as we get further inside of the bracket
6160s	and it's I think something that's going
6161s	to be a lot more common as we move
6162s	further into this top eight
6164s	and what's been going on by the way
6166s	sharp is if you you know I called it
6168s	every single time it's gonna come out
6170s	again guess what these two teams have
6172s	history they actually ended up fighting
6174s	again over in number two of the European
6176s	it was actually uh Phantom and mitsukin
6179s	were the ones that came out on top and
6180s	ended up sending passy and Minnie
6182s	Michael into a Seventh Place finish over
6184s	in number two so right now again history
6186s	might be looking like it's repeating
6188s	itself currently we're going over to
6189s	Scooby's mansion with a roof This Time
6190s	by the way so we're gonna have that uh
6193s	continued zaniness of just being able to
6194s	try to prevent them from being able to
6196s	get those really vertical chaos again
6197s	this is a team that follows vertical KO
6199s	so having something like that fantastic
6202s	setup against Minnie Michael he
6203s	struggled to get back on stage and now
6205s	he's trying to return the favor and goes
6207s	down with the Ganon ball
6208s	Elsie I didn't actually expect that very
6210s	first knockout on that Iron Giant I
6212s	really thought that he had the tools to
6214s	go ahead and approach there and I
6215s	thought that we were going to see a
6216s	little bit more strike Pressure cover up
6217s	on that knockout I was incorrect but
6219s	that just goes to show you exactly how
6222s	much coordination and how good red team
6225s	specifically need to end at removing any
6228s	recovery options from them they're
6229s	already on magically they're already on
6231s	Match Point look at this Aussie are you
6233s	not entertained
6235s	Phantom just going in there being the
6237s	Entertainer himself bro with those
6240s	uppercuts getting a double KO and now
6242s	he's got this mini Michael in a bad
6244s	position there was an opportunity there
6245s	for him to continue that combo on and
6247s	potentially get a really early care uh
6249s	KO against iron Giants which would not
6251s	only pay dividends for them in terms of
6253s	just against Iron Giant making that
6254s	stock worthless but it would also make
6256s	it so they get the game win but
6258s	unfortunately that's gonna be me too
6259s	going all the way to the top and now
6260s	Phantom has to try to stay alive while
6262s	Minnie Michael stays alive over on the
6264s	right side gets another Cider on top of
6265s	that gets another charge nothing now
6267s	unfortunately I can be able to survive
6268s	that one that's gonna be a really fast
6269s	game in favor of Phantom and me too yet
6272s	again
6273s	you know one of the things I'm really
6274s	appreciating here by Phantom and mitsu
6276s	is there I want to say Edge guarding
6279s	because they're they did they did
6281s	amazing with this very first knockout
6282s	look at this opportunity you see Iron
6284s	Giant go out to go ahead and try to try
6286s	to secure that knockout uh Batman
6288s	immediately goes down with that down air
6290s	and in order to stop the recovery we
6292s	immediately see me two go down to follow
6295s	up and stop it even though it's a very
6297s	dangerous situation for an Arya
6299s	especially someone as light as Arya
6301s	against an Iron Giant who is getting
6303s	very close to raid you don't want to be
6305s	there you want to be careful but several
6308s	times they identify where Iron Giant is
6310s	in an unsafe situation and they follow
6312s	up immediately especially taking
6314s	opportunities when Thorns are down to go
6315s	ahead and cover when it is safe they're
6318s	not scared at all you can see them look
6320s	at that look at that where was the fear
6322s	literally she's not scared of white
6324s	walkers she's not scared of Iron Giant
6326s	what is there for Arya to fear inside of
6329s	this matchup Aussie
6330s	literally nothing you can rip the face
6332s	off a metal machine easy peasy lemon
6334s	squeezy I've seen in Samurai Jack it's
6336s	definitely something you can do bro I I
6337s	swear but now we're gonna be jumping
6339s	into this next game here it looks like
6341s	we might have some character counter
6342s	picks potentially coming out I do know
6344s	that passy does have an aria to bring
6346s	out in case they don't want a feeling
6348s	with the stripe also on top of that mini
6350s	Michael's Iron Giant does have a Shaggy
6351s	to be able to bust down in case he's not
6353s	feeling confident with the Colossal type
6354s	character so this could potentially be a
6357s	counter pick I do want to talk about the
6358s	Run by the way from uh EU open number
6360s	two if you remember if you recall
6363s	correctly they lost their first set
6365s	winners round one they got knocked into
6367s	losers they climbed all the way to
6369s	Seventh Place finish after getting
6370s	knocked into that giant bracket in EU
6372s	all the way to seven to qualify for this
6374s	so you know to get all the way there and
6376s	still make it to the top eight here in
6377s	this bracket defeating the likes of RJ
6379s	King and lager defeating pulkey and not
6382s	sweaty to make it here into top eight of
6384s	the 16 man bracket where every match is
6386s	a death battle it is a testament to
6388s	their character and their team to be
6390s	able to kind of be be determined to make
6392s	sure that at least getting that Seventh
6393s	Place fish even if they lose this next
6394s	game they got top eight in the EU finals
6397s	guaranteeing them a top eight team from
6399s	Europe you know that's a title to really
6401s	hold strongly to your heart for sure and
6403s	you know I think EU has really been
6405s	showing out inside of the entirety of
6407s	not only the qualifiers but also inside
6409s	of this finals if there's one thing that
6411s	has definitely been cemented I think
6413s	it's either multi-vs Community from some
6415s	of these matches is that EU is not here
6417s	to play they are here to win watching
6420s	the strength of a lot of these players
6421s	across the other side of the pond only
6423s	cements to me that multiverses is an
6425s	incredible game internationally
6427s	continentally and in general in our
6429s	local so I want to remind all of our
6431s	listeners and anybody watching the
6432s	stream right now if you are interested
6434s	in picking up multiverses especially
6436s	competitive multiverses please check out
6438s	twitter.com mvsgaming where you can keep
6440s	up to date with all the competitive
6442s	multiverses inside of the world once
6444s	again that website is twitter.com mvs
6447s	gaming we have not only Clips not only
6450s	highlights but also some extensive
6452s	opportunities for you to compete inside
6454s	of your locals regionals and major
6456s	events near you
6458s	yeah just it's always good to be able to
6460s	just kind of keep up the date with all
6461s	the tournaments that are coming into the
6462s	future what makes that Twitter account
6463s	really strong is the fact that they help
6465s	retweet and give a little bit of a
6467s	signal boost to all the locals happening
6470s	up some of the more major locals we've
6471s	been seeing have been like the
6473s	tournaments over in Connecticut on
6474s	Wednesday nights hosted on Ajax
6475s	underscore HQ as well as the New York
6479s	City local coming up over on my channel
6481s	Twitter TV slash Australia Vista so that
6483s	happens every Mondays as well so the
6485s	fact that the signal boost those as well
6486s	as all these other locals happening that
6487s	are popping up all over the N A they're
6489s	starting to pop up over in Europe it's a
6491s	really cool resource if you just like
6493s	watching multiversions which I assume
6495s	you like watching multiverses if you're
6496s	here right now listening to this so it's
6498s	definitely a channel you want to keep on
6500s	your radar on all your social media so
6502s	now it looks like we're finally getting
6503s	into this character selects right now
6505s	looks like no swaps are coming out
6507s	except for the Aria and over the um
6510s	stripe and honestly you know this is a
6512s	pretty good pick right it already just
6513s	has a lot of tools in her kit to be able
6515s	to get a lot of verticality chaos has a
6517s	fully charged side air that can net a
6519s	really early kale off of this side now
6521s	it's all about where we're going we're
6522s	going for the stage we're going to see a
6524s	run back over to Scooby's mansion with
6525s	Brim or we're going to see a different
6527s	stage entirely let's just have to wait
6529s	and see
6529s	for sure for sure and I want to remind
6531s	everybody listening right now on Twitch
6533s	chat you can actually vote for who you
6535s	think is going to come out on top don't
6537s	just listen to our commentary engage
6539s	give up some of your channel points to
6541s	figure out what will come out
6542s	I'll tell you who it is I'll tell you
6545s	who wins I got the script right here you
6547s	guys want to see it I got the script
6548s	it's right here right now for this next
6549s	one it's going to Trophies Edge for game
6551s	number three I agree with this pick for
6554s	blue team because why okay so red team
6556s	gets gains a lot from this because of
6558s	these verticality kills all they want is
6560s	verticality so it can become very scary
6561s	right but that thing is so true for Iron
6564s	Giant you put them on a small stage all
6566s	of a sudden you're now claustrophobic
6568s	against this big colossal character
6569s	becomes really tough to have to deal
6571s	with him when he's just all over the top
6572s	of you but unfortunately what we're
6573s	seeing is a two feet one against them
6575s	and now mini Michael already at 145
6578s	damage it is that fear of getting a
6580s	really early KO off the first 30 seconds
6582s	of the game now I'm I'm watching Iron
6585s	Giant just immediately go into the pass
6588s	of just throwing scrap every everywhere
6590s	mode just because of how high in
6592s	percentage he is mini Michael is not
6594s	necessarily the strongest inside of this
6597s	team right now we're looking at him
6599s	taking much more passive role in a media
6601s	say that again
6602s	the butt slam comes down and it is
6605s	commentator's curse on the reel for me
6607s	there Aussie
6609s	nasty knock out there for many Michaels
6612s	he's just playing really well now he
6614s	took all that damage all they need is
6615s	that one opening against the rage mode
6617s	puts him into the green ball and we're
6618s	gonna see this capitalization coming out
6620s	for passing almost getting to kale and
6622s	unfortunately it's gonna fly out from
6624s	him he's gonna fall down to the bottom
6626s	of the blast zone unfortunate opening
6628s	everything wow
6629s	gets the up air near the top of the
6631s	blast zone and now we see match play
6633s	here if you're a Bluetooth the first
6634s	time we'll be seeing it this entire set
6636s	the counter pick is playing out very
6637s	well for them currently but
6639s	unfortunately they're getting stuck
6640s	between all of these combos right now
6641s	the up special up there classic coming
6643s	up from Arya he has plenty of time for
6645s	Phantom to be able to jump in there and
6646s	get a follow-up on top of that grappling
6647s	hook on top of it getting on the boat
6649s	that high damage all of a sudden tables
6651s	being turned on them gonna go into that
6653s	rage mode jumps into them and get that
6654s	electric ball he's looking for the
6655s	autoretical Batman's gonna Dodge right
6657s	into it and take a clean 35 damage in
6659s	the process it is still trying to find
6660s	his opening with the grappling code 200
6662s	damage Finance yes
6665s	unfortunately that's gonna be Batman
6667s	flying into the Blaster I want watch
6669s	that replay one more time at the end
6670s	because I do too that actually tears me
6672s	I thought that was a red team that got
6674s	that with no
6677s	go on
6679s	I was just gonna say that at the very
6681s	end there we saw that Arya chased after
6684s	them near the end or sorry Batman's
6686s	Phantom chased after him with the
6688s	grappling hook and we went all the way
6689s	to the top of the blast and I thought he
6690s	got the uppercut on the Aria on passy
6693s	but that is not what happened so as we
6695s	get closer and closer to that final
6696s	replay we'll finally be able to see what
6699s	exactly happened that transpired there
6701s	in the final moments of the game because
6703s	red team was bringing that back Sharpie
6705s	it was really close
6707s	it was it was very close indeed and I'm
6709s	also really excited to see what happened
6710s	inside this final stock I think we're
6711s	getting to it right now
6713s	um literally as we go inside of this
6715s	trade that right there right there you
6717s	saw it I
6719s	talked about Mario talk me through it
6720s	Aussie it was Arya getting Arya so
6722s	basically Arya got the KO against Minnie
6725s	Michael it was near the top of the blast
6727s	zone so then the other Aria from Blue
6729s	Team uh jumped in there got the up air
6733s	on top of that and passy was able to
6735s	finally just shut it down completely and
6737s	what was going on you'll notice that
6738s	when that first pawn shop against Iron
6740s	Giant I talked about this before in the
6741s	past broadcast if you guys have been
6742s	like Avid Watchers it turns into a
6744s	punish a punish into a punish so you
6747s	punish the punch to punish and that's
6748s	exactly what happened so even when Arya
6751s	went out there you saw Batman Phantom
6752s	jump in there and try to punish that
6754s	Arya in times but unfortunately they
6756s	were out of stocks that was the game
6758s	points the uppercut actually didn't
6759s	register to go through so he teleported
6761s	out there because that was the end of
6762s	the game so now we finally have a point
6763s	on the board here for our blue team
6764s	turning into a competitive set but they
6766s	have exhausted all the resources four
6769s	stage counter picks and now we're gonna
6771s	see where red team's gonna be able to
6772s	take these two wonders
6775s	I kind of want to talk about what we saw
6777s	from posi there because posi was
6779s	definitely the MVP I believe from Blue
6781s	Team there were several Knockouts that
6783s	they were responsible for and one of the
6785s	things you've talked about excessively
6786s	inside the past especially when I've
6787s	complained about Iron Giant on broadcast
6789s	Aussie is how Iron Giants rage kind of
6793s	puts him in a disadvantaged state
6794s	especially in twos it's very easy to
6796s	punish it's very very hard to come back
6798s	especially at your if you're at
6800s	disadvantage and it's one of those
6801s	situations where you're basically locked
6803s	out of any real assistant moves because
6805s	you can only do certain moves inside of
6808s	rage and that's kind of what we saw but
6810s	what Arya did specifically what Posse
6812s	did whenever Iron Giant went into rage
6814s	was they went on the super offensive
6816s	every single time we see Iron Giant go
6819s	into rage several times you see a
6821s	knockout being followed up on Blue's
6823s	team onto red team because the Aria is
6826s	immediately stopping the red team from
6828s	approaching anywhere near Iron Giant
6830s	which I think is just really really good
6832s	awareness from The Blue Team and really
6834s	good synergy for both mini Michael and
6837s	pozzie there
6839s	you gotta think of iron giant's rage
6841s	mode like it's berserk right you go in
6843s	there you go you throw away all of your
6845s	defenses because you're so mad you're so
6847s	angry and you go into a full offensive
6850s	mode because while you lose a lot of
6852s	defense and you become very susceptible
6854s	to combo games what you get in return is
6856s	a ton of damage that you get out of it
6858s	right the green ball can trap in a pawn
6860s	for you to be able to jump on top of and
6862s	be able to get like a cannonball on it
6863s	the teammate can actually pilot Iron
6865s	Giant for a second and shoot off an
6867s	electric ball which adds on 35 damage
6868s	and opponent gets caught in it you get
6870s	the ability to shoot off missiles which
6872s	is great coverage game so you get a lot
6874s	of mileage out of it but yeah you lose a
6876s	lot of your defensive options as well as
6877s	your Close Quarters combat game is not
6879s	as great so you got to be careful when
6881s	you activate it but right now we're
6882s	seeing an up air coming to action
6884s	against Phantom all the way on the left
6885s	side of the stage first stock already
6887s	gone for blue team's favor but
6888s	unfortunately that's gonna be Arya going
6890s	down as well yet another one against
6892s	mitsu kid they're getting tons of these
6894s	cameras off of the top what is this
6895s	Bluetooth and where do they come from
6898s	wow look at some of these immediate
6900s	Knockouts by blue team right now I'm
6902s	also kind of unsure about where
6904s	literally every single one of those
6906s	stock that's a double one right there
6908s	that's exactly what the Bluetooth that's
6911s	exactly what they need that's exactly
6912s	what they want look at this wow see
6914s	here's here's why I'm surprised that was
6916s	almost a double knock down opportunity
6918s	for both The Blue Team and the red team
6920s	incredibly dangerous incredibly High
6922s	opportunity incredibly high risk as well
6925s	and I think that's kind of what the blue
6927s	team is banking on and I think that's
6929s	also what's paying off for them inside
6930s	of this setup the way that Batman is
6932s	Dashing out putting a lot of time in
6933s	Iron Giant is allowing them to kind of
6936s	1v1 which is what both the Arias want
6938s	they both want 1v1 they're both totally
6940s	fine 1v1 against each other and saying I
6942s	am the real Arya of house Stark here red
6945s	team and now Phantom just shutting down
6947s	that rage mode immediately the second he
6949s	activated like we were just saying you
6950s	give up all your defenses so Phantom
6952s	went for the grappling gun got in there
6954s	and you saw like literally Minnie
6955s	Michael trying to get it piloted by
6957s	passy on top of that now able to throw
6958s	themselves a three points to three
6960s	points literally neck and neck here for
6962s	Reggie trying to close out the set
6963s	before blue team gets any sort of
6964s	momentum there's the Affairs there's the
6966s	up specials coming out from Phantom
6967s	trying to close it out gets called out
6969s	by the uh bear from Minnie Michael
6971s	because he saw that pass he had him and
6973s	hit son for so long because of the up
6975s	special and it's gonna end up tying the
6977s	game two to two our first game five here
6980s	on the broadcast today and right now
6983s	they are bringing it back in style
6985s	you know I I know everyone has their
6988s	concerns about Mansion especially about
6991s	ruthless mansion in general which as you
6993s	said before is becoming a very popular
6995s	pick inside of high levels of this game
6997s	especially in an a it's such a pleasure
7000s	to be able to see characters identify
7002s	specifically players identify new stages
7005s	as being viable for both them and for
7008s	their teammate and what we're seeing
7009s	here is almost a comfort it's very
7012s	obvious to me that both teams have
7015s	actually practiced on ruthless Mansions
7017s	here which is kind of why we're getting
7019s	some of these opportunities and these
7021s	these understandings of when they do
7023s	actually win specifically on the stage I
7025s	do think that Comfort level brought them
7027s	onto a Next Level which ultimately
7029s	resulted inside of this game five here
7030s	and obviously I just want to know your
7033s	opinion what do you think of the fact
7035s	that we're seeing Scoobies especially
7037s	ruthless so much inside of this specific
7039s	set
7040s	I think Scooby's ruthless is a fantastic
7042s	stage it's literally just sky Arena with
7044s	a higher ceiling so it's very easy for
7046s	players to adapt to it because literally
7048s	if you played on it once you've
7049s	literally like wait this is just sky
7051s	Arena and then you understand that you
7052s	understand the same kind of objectives
7054s	yes this is walls in the very beginning
7055s	and the ceiling is higher so those
7057s	earlier chaos aren't going to become as
7059s	prevalent but it's still just a really
7060s	nice stage where people just feel
7062s	comfortable comfortable on so I
7063s	definitely see it entering the meta a
7065s	lot more often it's legal right now and
7067s	ranked and people are not snubbing on it
7068s	whatsoever and it is it's receiving a
7071s	lot of positive press especially with
7072s	the hazards off but now we're gonna jump
7074s	into this next set now Phantom's
7076s	switching over to Superman if this is
7077s	actually what's going to happen I would
7079s	not be shocked right because Superman
7081s	does have some answers against the likes
7084s	of Iron Giant this is a character that
7086s	can just ignore bolts with his grabs all
7088s	he has to do is a side special or an up
7090s	special and he can just grab right
7091s	through those bolts if the bolts become
7092s	a pesky but a little bit of a problem
7094s	how Iron Giant works is he's throwing
7095s	bolts littering across the stage into
7098s	whether him or his teammate picks it up
7099s	that gives him one more a duration of
7101s	invulnerability whenever he activates
7103s	bolts up to a maximum of five and on top
7105s	of that the partner picks it up and
7106s	they're racking the the unique per
7109s	they'll also gain some gray Health from
7110s	it so while the bolts are active you
7112s	become invincible and Batman kind of
7114s	struggles in that department Batman
7115s	struggles against Shields armor in
7118s	general so bolts is a whole other story
7119s	when Superman can just ignore it with a
7121s	grab that's definitely gonna be the
7122s	choice and we're definitely seeing the
7124s	Superman finally come out from banto in
7126s	this game five situation
7128s	you know one of the things you also
7129s	talked about not only Thorns being an
7131s	issue for Batman but in addition
7132s	afterburner becomes a really big issue
7135s	as well because even though Batman is
7137s	able to be incredibly mobile not only on
7140s	the ground but also in the air after
7141s	burner's leaving that filer Trail
7143s	relatively high up does affect Batman in
7147s	a very real way especially with
7148s	grappling hook regardless of where he is
7150s	because he is very frequently going
7151s	through those trajectories that affect
7152s	it but as we go into this game five
7154s	situation the winner of this game will
7157s	win the entirety of this set that is a
7160s	double stun right there by that Aria
7162s	specifically
7164s	mitsu and that is a huge huge game
7168s	changer immediately changing momentum
7170s	onto red team's side look at the way
7172s	they are following up on some of these
7173s	combos right now Iron Giant at 125
7176s	flying up and down from the blast zone
7178s	and it's really a very very such easy
7181s	situation for a blue team to possibly
7183s	get knocked out this early inside of the
7184s	game
7185s	yeah both of them being a really high
7187s	damage but now blue team has stage
7188s	control hold on a second we're seeing
7190s	them kind of struggling off stage
7191s	missiles are coming in they have rage
7193s	mode to activate on top of that running
7194s	out of resources so you're gonna see
7195s	mitsu just kind of fall off and bottom
7197s	of the blast on that opening Gambit that
7198s	red team had is slowly starting to fall
7200s	out of their grasp but good follow-up
7201s	coming out from Phantom he jumped right
7203s	into it because he saw oh special gets
7206s	another Cider on top of that takes out
7207s	passy and managed to take the lead here
7210s	wow Phantom is now gonna play that stock
7212s	tank lead Superman is also a really
7214s	heavy character second heaviest
7215s	character in the game in comparison to
7216s	Iron Giant and is now going to be able
7218s	to play wonders for them look at the
7220s	startup they're able to fall off into
7222s	each other extremely well here on sky
7223s	Arena look at the follow-ups of special
7225s	up there trying to get him off the top
7227s	side damage all over the place things
7229s	are running out of time for blue team I
7232s	really thought that Loop was going to
7233s	confirm into a stock death and I'm just
7236s	really really in all right now of the
7239s	red team Synergy with some of their
7240s	follow-up opportunities like you said
7242s	here previously obviously every single
7244s	time you see a connection look and look
7246s	at where Superman is every single time
7247s	Ariel leads to say almost immediately
7249s	they are trading and I think that that
7251s	was a beautiful trade right there for
7253s	the blue team going to go ahead and get
7255s	that double knockout situation right
7256s	there and they are both One stock away
7258s	Arya is in a very dangerous spot right
7262s	now Posey has to be incredibly careful
7265s	at 145 anything can send them flying and
7268s	that luckily did not convert luckily did
7270s	not follow up there from me too and it
7273s	stays safe to fight even longer inside
7275s	of the set
7281s	they beat this team over an EU open
7284s	number two and they're gonna defeat them
7285s	again here with a 3-2 victory over in
7288s	losers scores setting down the passy and
7291s	Minnie Michael for a Seventh Place
7293s	finish and honestly they put up a one
7295s	hell of a fight but unfortunately for
7297s	them Superman counterpick just kind of
7299s	came in collage they were overwhelmed
7301s	from it but in the very beginning they
7302s	had to adapt to this brand new type of
7303s	character plus all these follow-ups that
7305s	was such a sick fall but there was
7306s	actually a moment there where I was
7307s	worried for red team because Phantom
7309s	actually sd'd at one point there was a
7311s	point when he was just off stage just
7313s	kind of chilling right here right here
7314s	yeah he just Falls he touches the wall
7317s	so you get his resources yeah you could
7319s	tell that was it on you could tell you
7323s	could tell it was it was incredibly
7324s	unfortunate it was very scary too
7325s	because I was like I was a little bit
7327s	confused about what happened there I
7328s	thought maybe I missed something I
7329s	thought maybe a projectile specifically
7331s	like if scrap went out and took away
7332s	another jump but it was very obvious
7334s	that he just kind of floated back down a
7336s	Superman can fly doesn't mean he's
7337s	always going to you know now as we as we
7340s	go out of this set austie what an
7343s	amazing bracket that we've seen so far
7344s	let's go ahead and take a look at it not
7347s	only do we have two Senpai and MJ on the
7350s	winners files we also have Riz King and
7352s	SJP that is one of my favorite uh
7355s	characters and one of my favorite sets
7358s	that I'm going to actually be really
7359s	looking forward to watching because SJP
7360s	has just had an amazing rain dog but MJ
7363s	is also a very very very accomplished
7366s	not only Batman player but also Shaggy
7368s	player with an amazing Rush down we also
7371s	obviously get to see plev tank and Timmy
7373s	go up against Phantom and mitsu the team
7376s	that just won inside the previous set
7377s	that we saw and the loser of senpai MJ
7381s	and rizking and SJP will move on to
7384s	actually play Paradise and Kobe to stay
7386s	inside of this bracket so it's it's
7388s	really anybody's game here it's filled
7391s	with a bunch of very very strong players
7393s	very very strong teams and I just have
7396s	to ask as you're looking at this bracket
7398s	Aussie are there any sets that are
7400s	jumping out as you that may be
7401s	incredibly clutch that may come out to
7404s	one of the game fives that we actually
7405s	just saw inside that previous set
7408s	well you know right now not really maybe
7412s	pledge tank and Timmy versus phantom and
7413s	me too that might be the closest one I
7415s	think two sempi and MJ are gonna kind of
7418s	steamroll resk King and SJP I mean
7420s	hopefully they put up a fight but I
7421s	think that's kind of like where we're
7422s	going to be heading here in this one
7424s	they actually ended up uh you know not
7426s	being in the same bracket so this could
7428s	be a completely different ballpark of a
7429s	game so actually that could be closer
7431s	than I think so you know what I take
7432s	that back I think I'll be also a close
7433s	set but Korean and urban are facing off
7436s	against psycho and macmatt which is
7437s	actually going to be the next set we
7439s	jump into here for our last losers round
7441s	one of top eight this is going to be
7443s	quite the interesting set a lot of
7445s	France players here kirians from France
7447s	psycho and macmatt both from France
7449s	Urban door is the one from Belgium
7451s	coming in here this is gonna be Jake and
7452s	Shaggy facing off against Finn and
7455s	whoever Mac Matt feels like play he's
7457s	got a Velma a Wonder Woman a jake one of
7459s	the twos you guys remember this is the
7460s	Adventure Time team looks like we're
7461s	gonna be going with that Jake rather
7463s	that cake the cat instead both cake the
7465s	cats on both sides of the uh coin here
7467s	and you gotta remember that psycho and
7469s	Mac Man were actually the winners of EU
7472s	open number one remember when they won
7474s	with the Adventure Time team that was
7476s	yes
7477s	here yeah it was super high but now they
7480s	find themselves here and loser's side
7481s	they got knocked out pretty early on and
7483s	but they're still surviving they're
7484s	still in the game another phase up
7486s	against kyrian and urban door a team
7489s	from that got a seventh place at the
7491s	first one didn't even get a chance to
7492s	fight off against this team so now
7494s	you're seeing a first place fighting off
7495s	against the seventh place so if I was a
7496s	betting man I would definitely put it in
7498s	favor of psycho and macmatt but hey a
7500s	long time has passed we'll have to wait
7502s	and see what's gonna happen as we dive
7503s	here into game number one
7505s	for sure and I I want to see obviously
7507s	we're going to see Sky Arenas listening
7508s	to music obviously with no plots which
7510s	has been a very
7515s	Finn goes in heavy hard on that shag he
7518s	says you ain't charging on my stage
7520s	honey you want to fight for that right
7523s	that was amazing start because he knew
7525s	exactly whatever I was gonna do at the
7527s	start all Shaggy's one is the same thing
7529s	and it's disgusting they want to chill
7530s	back and charge their Ridge so you saw
7532s	him immediately jump in there also Urban
7534s	door been in one one of the shaggies
7536s	that likes to rock that unique perk
7537s	where he eats the sandwich to speed up
7539s	even faster that's gonna be a first KO
7541s	going in favor of blue team managed to
7544s	just call out mask Matt immediately
7545s	right out the gates
7547s	now one of the things I did want to
7548s	shout out that I didn't get an
7549s	opportunity before this match this is
7551s	one of the very first signs we're
7552s	actually seeing Jake in Scream right now
7555s	I I know Jake's a really popular
7557s	character in general and multiverses
7559s	also one problem the leaderboard and the
7561s	1v1 play but in 2v2s Jake doesn't always
7564s	have as much of a prolific scene you
7567s	know you're looking at characters uh be
7569s	a little bit more challenging especially
7570s	against Jake like that and that's kind
7573s	of why I'm so interested to see Jake and
7575s	hit right now in twos
7576s	so in N A Jake is all over the place in
7580s	Tunes he's a very strong character when
7582s	it comes to teams he has so much
7583s	Mobility control he can go up to the top
7585s	of the screen has up specials to be able
7587s	to get some really early Knockouts by
7589s	just catching someone and ricocheting
7590s	them up to the top so he is definitely
7592s	prevailing it's just kind of weird that
7594s	we're not seeing him that much over here
7595s	in EU and it's because they're both here
7596s	sitting at that Seventh Place finisher
7599s	qualifier match so again blue team up
7601s	one point to zero finally goes up there
7603s	and gets the fully charged up attack
7605s	comes back down converts it off of an
7607s	air into it up there you can see
7608s	shagging charging you can't even see him
7610s	charge bro he thought he was dead
7614s	two points to one and now we're gonna
7617s	see blue team try to get this pesky cake
7619s	the cat out of here Mac Matt hanging on
7621s	for dear life at 142 but psycho's also
7624s	in danger here at 104 on the other side
7625s	of the coin so you can easily turn
7627s	favorite blue team that's a one dive
7628s	kick coming in can we see a second one
7630s	maybe he's got a rage this time around
7631s	managed to go for it we see Dodgers from
7633s	both sides no weak and sexually be
7635s	applied this time around and finally he
7636s	comes down with the house still being
7638s	able to survive uses the gem at a
7639s	disadvantage to get back in there and
7641s	psycho is just surviving bro
7644s	wow no that was going that was that was
7647s	bound to happen the dude was sitting
7648s	over there at 139 he was going he was
7650s	going to pay for it with the stock you
7652s	know you can't you can't just sit there
7653s	in Center Stage like that now I'm I'm
7656s	really appreciating how much blue team
7658s	seem to have control right now over
7660s	where red team is recovering and kind of
7663s	leading them that is actually the third
7664s	time we've seen Shaggy be able to charge
7666s	literally for free they're not
7668s	necessarily focusing on punishing Shaggy
7670s	as much just because that calico cat is
7672s	at a much higher percent so they are
7674s	punishing Jake significantly more and it
7676s	did pay off with red team who is now
7678s	also at match point there are changing
7680s	their focus over here to Shaggy and
7682s	Shaggy's trying to get a knockout Shaggy
7684s	gets The Knockout with that down air on
7687s	to Jake putting blue team up 1-0 early
7690s	inside of this loser's set the end of
7694s	that game I thought for sure red team
7695s	was gonna get that win because they were
7697s	off stage there was a time when macmatt
7699s	had an opportunity to go for a potential
7701s	side air angle downwards against Urban
7703s	or Shaggy or or even go for the
7705s	skateboard diners and just try to like
7706s	send them down to the Blaster but
7708s	instead I think Mac wanted to play it
7710s	safe because he was at high damage
7711s	didn't want to risk at all so you saw
7712s	him actually go for an up special
7714s	instead which is going to apply that
7716s	little stringy body right and when he
7717s	went for the stretch body there was a
7719s	chance for Erbert could have recovered
7720s	really fast and got caught by it and
7722s	then he would have got killed that way
7723s	so it was also a safe option for him to
7725s	go for but also a call out in case
7727s	Roberta quickly went towards the stage
7728s	unfortunately did not work out in his
7730s	favor and he saw psycho kind of jump out
7731s	here here's the situation coming out
7733s	right after this stop we'll see it here
7734s	momentarily it's this point right here I
7736s	want to dissect this a little bit he got
7738s	him off stage there's a chance he went
7740s	underneath them he opts to go for the
7741s	recovery instead because he's trying to
7743s	hope that Orbiter is going to chase
7744s	after him but unfortunately psycho was
7746s	off stage on the left side because he
7748s	tossed out a gem because he wanted to
7749s	help out his bud but because he did that
7751s	he actually put himself in a very bad
7752s	spot and disadvantage and was able to
7754s	get ko'd by urbandar who completely
7756s	turned his attention over to the fin
7758s	instead of the Jake so a lot of like
7760s	minute situations from all three of
7762s	those players there on the left side of
7763s	the stage ended up going in blue team's
7765s	favor
7766s	now I'm I'm really firstly I want to
7769s	shout out red team who I think had
7770s	amazing teamwork there obviously blue
7772s	team did come out on top there but as
7774s	you stated that final stock was
7776s	incredibly close it really did come down
7778s	to that final situation and I like I'd
7780s	like your opinion here Aussie but do you
7782s	think some of the exchanges that they're
7784s	going into because I feel as though I
7785s	know the answer I feel as though very
7787s	frequently red team is losing on those
7790s	very small minute options just because
7792s	they aren't at that final layer of Oaky
7795s	and blue team is kind of reading those
7797s	uh those opportunities a little bit
7799s	faster they kind of went in those
7800s	scramble situations a lot more because
7802s	they're easier to react to for blue team
7803s	than as opposed to red team but I'd like
7805s	to hear your thoughts on it
7806s	I think it was legit that could have
7808s	been anyone's game there were like tooth
7810s	and nail back and back literally a 50 50
7812s	situation I think the end of the game
7814s	was that last scenario where they all
7816s	made a call and unfortunately psycho
7818s	just went a little bit got a little bit
7819s	greedy I think if psycho did not get
7821s	greedy and throughout that gym there
7822s	could have been a situation where Urban
7823s	are would have went for a fast recovery
7826s	and would have bounced right into max up
7829s	special but unfortunately psycho just
7830s	kind of bet it all with that gem toss
7832s	and that's what spelled the game but
7833s	everything before that was very even
7835s	they were going back and forth like
7837s	constant one thing I do like about Mac
7838s	Matt's Jake is he's really good at being
7840s	able to call but unfortunately can't
7843s	call out that sign here coming out from
7845s	here Anthem shutting them down
7846s	completely only 10 seconds in and a
7848s	stock he has gone goes back in WoW right
7851s	back throw him with the up special into
7853s	it up there it is now a tier type game
7855s	this is what we get for trophies and
7856s	right you get these really small
7857s	ceilings these really small blast notes
7859s	with the platform assistance allows you
7861s	to be able to do some really early
7862s	vertical chaos look at that you
7864s	celebrate her trying to catch it again
7865s	against McMaster a bad spot offstage
7868s	throws an Apple at him as a get off me
7869s	to a last-ditch effort to try to get
7871s	back to stage and manages to finally
7873s	survive
7874s	now I'm looking at Shaggy here just kind
7876s	of struggle because there's so many
7878s	knees going out not all of them
7880s	connecting but even the ones that are
7881s	are making it a little bit difficult
7882s	it's really hard it's really really hard
7885s	for Jackie to get some of these
7886s	horizontal lockouts right now and I
7888s	think that's kind of why it's up to
7890s	Kieran to go ahead and try to secure it
7892s	with these up specials because Jake's up
7894s	special is just so strong and of course
7895s	as soon as I say that look at the way
7896s	Shaggy look at the way as soon as I say
7898s	that as soon as I say that Austin
7901s	don't let me commentate
7904s	carrion literally just Doffing so many
7908s	people like I feel like my jaw's a
7910s	little out of place just watching the
7912s	game so many side air punches coming out
7914s	from there was one at 53 against the
7916s	likes of Jake who's a pretty
7917s	heavyweights getting knocked out that
7919s	early on was already devastating but he
7921s	already responded in kind getting the
7923s	follow up with the upstairs right there
7924s	but this is when Things Fall Apart for
7925s	red team right blue team gets and there
7927s	he tries to charge up that Ridge gets an
7929s	up attack on the ground the axro coming
7931s	in Shaggy coming in with the combos
7932s	psycho Now 50 damage goes off stage he
7935s	accidentally throws his Gem and that was
7938s	actually what happened at the very end
7939s	it was we saw two mistakes in a row
7942s	coming out from psycho but how okay so
7944s	how Finn recovers is he wants to throw
7947s	his gem he spends 100 gold and he throws
7950s	a gem and wherever that gem goes he can
7952s	teleport to so what's actually a really
7954s	common recovery tool is that he throws
7955s	it on stage and he just instantly
7957s	teleports to it and gets immediately at
7958s	a disadvantage it's like it's like a
7959s	cheating card it's like a get out of
7961s	jail free like you know I'm not a
7962s	disadvantaged I'm center stage now but
7964s	what happened at the very end is he
7966s	tossed the gem twice the wrong direction
7969s	it went towards the right both times and
7971s	because he used both of his specials he
7973s	was falling down he just kind of sd'd
7974s	because of that so that's another
7975s	mistake coming out from psycho that
7977s	could be very costly for them in the
7979s	rest of this set
7981s	we are also seeing a change here we are
7983s	going to see the fin and Arya come out
7985s	as opposed to the Fenn and Jake
7987s	um do I disagree with this no I actually
7990s	think Arya and Fenn would be very very
7992s	good inside this matchup I'm don't 100
7995s	think there was really any issue with
7998s	red team's Jake to be candid with you I
8001s	think there was a lot of changes that
8003s	will happen with a fan Arya team inside
8005s	of this matchup I don't necessarily
8006s	think they'll be as at many disadvantage
8008s	stage but I think it'll be a lot easier
8010s	for them to secure some of these
8011s	knockout situations especially since
8013s	Arya tends to stick to the opponents a
8015s	lot easier we did see that on the blue
8017s	team they had a very high percentage of
8019s	majority of the time it will be a lot
8020s	easier I think for Ari to secure some of
8022s	these Knockouts than for Jake so we'll
8023s	just see going into this very next round
8025s	who will come out on top and whether or
8027s	not this counterpick character will be a
8029s	advantageous opportunity for red team to
8032s	come back into the set
8033s	and you gotta remember that macmatt
8035s	plays a whole slew of characters so he's
8037s	like oh my God never mind gets shut down
8039s	Herbert jumps out there immediately gets
8042s	a downer he's like you've got a lot of
8043s	characters in your roster bet I play
8045s	Shaggy here's it down here and shot him
8048s	down the first 10 seconds and scoring it
8050s	another point for blue team blue team on
8052s	the verge of taking down the winner of
8055s	EU open number one when they got seventh
8057s	in that one this is the unparamount
8059s	we're looking at a lot of damage once
8062s	again going out on the blue team and not
8064s	as many knockout opportunities they're
8066s	just really struggling and in addition
8068s	blue team Synergy is just par none right
8070s	now they are identifying opportunities
8072s	to go ahead and get these knockout
8073s	situations and they're pushing them
8075s	harder and harder and harder and forcing
8077s	them to respond faster and faster and I
8079s	just candidly don't think red team is
8081s	able to necessarily keep up they are
8082s	definitely playing catch up inside of
8084s	the situation Austin
8085s	but yeah what's happening is that red
8087s	team just netting these super duper
8089s	early Kos that's putting them in such a
8091s	great momentum shift in their favor but
8093s	now red team coming up with the backpack
8094s	unfortunately Jake's only going to be at
8096s	39 damage they're not going to be able
8097s	to send cake the cat literally anywhere
8099s	but now we're coming back turn attack on
8101s	Dead gonna give him that be that strike
8104s	behind strike sneak attack strike and
8106s	gonna turn this into a two points to one
8108s	lead for blue team but it might not be
8109s	for long Sharpie
8111s	I'm I'm I'm really concerned right now
8114s	about that calico cat sitting over there
8115s	at 121 really really high percentage but
8117s	luckily Arya is not following up Arya
8119s	kind of has her hands full right now
8120s	trying to yeah look at look at the way
8123s	look at the way they are trading oh we
8125s	need to dissect for free I need to
8127s	dissect that left side because what
8129s	happened was Psycho threw out a gem as a
8132s	recovery an urban door threw a sandwich
8134s	to delete the gym the dust deleting his
8137s	recovery and thus psycho was in a really
8139s	hairy spot in servidor was able to get
8142s	the capitalization on top of that
8143s	fantastic wow he's breaking it back
8146s	getting a double KO bringing this down
8148s	to three points to three points Red Team
8150s	Chevrolet players oh no catches the
8152s	second half special minervator is going
8153s	to be able to survive 32 damage that
8155s	could have been a really early stock
8156s	that would have been very good for
8158s	Resident finally but a boy on the board
8159s	but unfortunately the the victory slowly
8162s	running out of their grasp
8163s	for sure I'm I'm watching this right now
8167s	final trade situation and I'm looking at
8169s	the percentages I'm looking at the
8170s	momentum and you're right it really is
8172s	anybody's game right now oh yeah didn't
8174s	want to recover there I see Finn just
8176s	throwing out these gems right now trying
8178s	to get in situations where he can go
8180s	ahead and help Arya but they're not
8181s	coming out positively literally both
8184s	teammates on the red team are flying
8186s	literally anywhere and ever right now
8188s	looking for hits trying to get some of
8190s	these Knockouts secured and not able to
8192s	follow up on that crucial big knockout
8194s	click go ahead and bite them in the butt
8196s	later arya's trying so hard Arya is
8198s	trying so hard to follow up on that
8200s	ultimately it's not enough because
8202s	Shaggy is able to go ahead and get that
8204s	final knockout moving The Blue Team Up
8206s	3-0 inside of the Set uh Austin Aussie I
8210s	I know we want to talk about that third
8213s	stock that we saw going out on Blue
8216s	team's favor because it was one of those
8218s	opportunities that I think really
8219s	showcases why blue team came out on top
8222s	inside of this set 3-0 you were
8223s	dissecting it previously you said the
8226s	sandwich met the gym stopped the
8228s	recovery took away all the jumps and
8229s	that was only the third stock that we
8231s	saw for blue team's Advantage we're
8232s	about to come up to it let's talk
8233s	through it right now
8235s	yeah be right there that was it he threw
8237s	the sandwich and deleted the gym put him
8238s	in a bad spot and he couldn't get back
8239s	on stage blue team Jake was able to jump
8241s	back in there and help with the spike
8243s	but another situation that we saw later
8244s	on in that stock was Urban or got a
8247s	clean hit with a rage side special but
8249s	unfortunately when he hit his opponents
8251s	it was a tacticade so they didn't end up
8253s	getting that kale there's so many
8254s	moments where both these are just trying
8256s	to get that rushed finish until finally
8258s	the diner comes out from orbitor in
8260s	Korean and urban are taking a 3-0
8262s	victory over the winners of EU open
8265s	number one now swapping places they're
8267s	the ones going down with the Seventh
8268s	Place finish look at that psycho and Mac
8269s	Mac going down 3-0 in the bottom left
8271s	side of that bracket with a Seventh
8273s	Place finish here at the EU finals this
8277s	started literally Sharpie this started
8280s	with 16 teams now there are six 10 of
8284s	those teams are now gone we are ending
8286s	winter semis we are now ending losers
8288s	quarters losers around two up top eight
8290s	so many more sets to come up here but
8293s	guys before we even dive into our next
8295s	sets we gotta take a quick little break
8297s	please please please don't go anywhere
8299s	we'll be right back

8915s	what's good MVPs welcome back to fall
8919s	Showdown for the multiverses the final
8922s	finals which is from Europe my name is
8925s	Austin I'm joined here by the lovely
8926s	Sharpie and we got some great sets
8928s	coming your way we started in this
8931s	bracket with 16 teams coming all the way
8934s	for you the 16 best of the best cream of
8937s	the crop from the European side of
8939s	things but now we are down to the
8941s	nitty-gritty only six teams left only 12
8943s	players remain and now we're gonna find
8946s	out who's gonna be coming in because we
8948s	take a look at this bracket you look at
8950s	the winners final side of things we got
8952s	two sempi and MJ facing off against Riz
8955s	King and SJP over down the losers side
8958s	of things though we're probably doing
8959s	momentarily here is LOL Club 10 continue
8961s	facing off against Phantom men mitsukin
8964s	Shin as well as paradise and Kobe facing
8966s	off against carrion and urban door Sharp
8968s	we haven't been feeling with these sets
8970s	so far man you know I've really been
8971s	enjoying these sets a lot as we've been
8974s	playing I've noticed a lot of
8975s	adaptations which is once again one of
8977s	my favorite things to see inside of
8979s	brackets I don't always look to see
8981s	who's playing the best characters I
8983s	always look to see the stage selections
8985s	the thing I'm watching is the player
8987s	adaptation inside of every single match
8988s	did they expect this to happen did they
8991s	react appropriately did they change the
8993s	way they react based upon what happened
8995s	earlier inside that set and earlier
8996s	inside of the bracket and I am so
8998s	incredibly excited to see it from every
9000s	single team because every single team
9002s	that's currently inside of here are all
9004s	six I'm sorry all 12 of the teams that
9006s	we basically have inside of here so far
9008s	have already done a great job of
9009s	showcasing their prowess and their
9012s	adaptation skills as we move forward
9013s	inside of the bracket but there is one
9015s	thing I do want to shout out which is
9017s	the fact that if you go over to
9018s	twitter.com MBS gaming you too can
9021s	become one of these amazing adapted
9023s	players because you'll be keeping up
9025s	with not only the major scene for
9027s	multiverses but also so the regional and
9030s	local scenes as well Asti I know you
9032s	have quite a few locals that you attend
9034s	but I am actually partial to the
9036s	multiverses monthlies that we actually
9038s	have at Xanadu games where we have
9039s	people like mirror man Sunfish we even
9042s	sometimes have Z come out and perform
9044s	with some amazing Taz and Wonder Woman
9046s	work are there any locals that you
9048s	really enjoy watching inside of your
9049s	local scene
9051s	I mean literally just the ones I plugged
9053s	earlier was like the ones that literally
9054s	on my channel switched on TV slash
9056s	Osceola Vista every Monday nights over
9057s	in the New York City area if you guys
9059s	want to enter it yourself you can head
9060s	on over to OS NYC is the venue in
9062s	southern Manhattan so it's basically
9064s	Chinatown meanwhile another one on top
9066s	of that which is really close by is Ajax
9067s	is local over in Connecticut at that
9070s	venue I'm not sure what the venue is
9071s	called but I know the twitch channel is
9072s	that TV Ajax underscale HQ and yeah you
9075s	usually just said it Vortex so that's
9077s	the board venue for that one as well so
9079s	tons of locals in that area are like
9081s	literally East Coast is feasting right
9083s	now with those locals and I know more
9085s	are popping up I heard there's one
9086s	starting to get startup shop over down
9088s	in Florida on top of that and heard of
9090s	oops and Broski's mentioning it a little
9092s	bit uh in the past couple of days so
9094s	tons of more stuff coming your way and
9096s	you guys want to know where all those
9097s	locals are going to be I guarantee you
9099s	that MBS gaming sweater handle is gonna
9100s	be retweeting those locals coming so may
9103s	stay tuned to that one to be able to see
9104s	what's going to be happening in the
9105s	future of the competitive scene whether
9107s	it's on the local scale or the grand
9109s	scale like this circuit with 60 thousand
9112s	dollars on the line for this entire
9113s	circuit has been going on since the
9115s	beginning of October fall showdown's
9117s	been a whole the thing that we've had
9119s	for the game this is the first circuit
9120s	that this game has had right when the
9121s	game first came out we had Evo which is
9123s	a big splash for the game 100 000 in
9126s	This One Singular tournament because it
9128s	was like all eyes were on it and then
9130s	after that let the game relax a little
9131s	bit let it breathe and all of a sudden
9133s	fall Showdown was birthed and was the
9135s	circuit all online to bring it to these
9137s	finals that we've had these past couple
9139s	of days East and West happened yesterday
9140s	those two files are now gone and this is
9142s	the final event for the entirety of fall
9146s	Showdown and man I gotta say I'm gonna
9148s	miss it after a while man it's been like
9149s	we've been on this broadcast so much I
9151s	in particular have been on so many of
9153s	these almost working every weekend for
9154s	it and I love like the logo they got for
9157s	with Batman in the background the purple
9158s	background and seeing all these players
9160s	come up to stop you know to shop and be
9162s	able to get so much gameplay and show
9164s	their Prouds and put their you know
9166s	grits to the test and be like hey we've
9168s	been playing this game for so long and
9169s	look how good we are and finally being
9171s	able to display it for everyone to watch
9173s	you know one of the also things that I
9175s	really like about the fall Showdown
9176s	showcase so far is not only the ability
9179s	to be able to commentate this high level
9180s	matches with people like you with Ajax
9183s	with uh with obviously flambo as well
9186s	but like being able to uh work with all
9188s	of you guys in addition to also seeing
9190s	the variety of different characters
9192s	showing inside of high level gameplay
9195s	one of the things that you don't usually
9196s	see inside of Platformers is a very rich
9198s	open roster of gameplay and characters
9201s	at a high level you usually only see a
9203s	couple usually a handful of characters
9204s	being played but inside of multiverses
9206s	we've seen almost every single game
9208s	inside the character represented at a
9210s	top level especially inside of top eight
9212s	for these qualifiers and for the finals
9214s	which I'm really personally very happy
9217s	about because it shows that the game has
9218s	really good balance so far it shows that
9221s	everybody is viable at a tournament
9223s	standpoint and it also shows that
9224s	everyone's out here to have fun inside
9226s	of this game which is Paramount inside
9228s	of a new game like monkey versus so as
9230s	we go
9231s	yeah
9232s	yeah we're gonna jump right into this
9234s	set by the way it's going over to losers
9236s	course he's gonna be pleb taking Timmy
9238s	on the blue side of things got Timmy
9240s	reckon presenting the Morty Club tank on
9242s	the fan meanwhile on the other side of
9243s	that token on the two-piece side red
9245s	team Phantom on the Superman and
9247s	mitsukin with the Aryan I gotta say
9249s	Phantom feeling a little bit confident
9250s	with the Superman we saw so much Batman
9252s	from him previously on the day managed
9254s	to swap over to Superman because he had
9256s	to deal with the pesky fan but right now
9257s	they gotta be looking at the Aria
9259s	because Club tank just carrying needs to
9261s	get all the way to the top of the Blast
9263s	Zone on the right side take away that
9264s	first Blood immediately now we've seen
9267s	this before with Phantom and mitsu's
9268s	team usually the first game they are
9271s	very very cautious and it's always paid
9273s	off for them inside the long run so I'm
9275s	not as worried about these first couple
9276s	of stocks I know they're just gonna try
9278s	to get their placing with this and it's
9279s	usually how they play throughout the
9281s	bracket I am really concerned about them
9282s	allowing blood tank and Timmy a somewhat
9284s	of a lead early on though because left
9286s	tank and Timmy have shown that they are
9288s	able to adapt very very quickly and they
9290s	are able to go very far especially when
9292s	they secure really like this so it could
9293s	be a dangerous situation but we're not
9295s	going to see as big of a stock
9297s	difference here because we did see
9299s	Phantom go ahead and secure that ring
9301s	out on to Timmy getting that first stock
9304s	up meaning that they're both one soccer
9305s	piece right now on the red and blue team
9307s	yeah fans are doing a fantastic job of
9309s	just being able to catch these Landings
9311s	getting the up air pushing him back off
9313s	say points gonna be activated for Timmy
9315s	to get plebting back onto the stage and
9317s	look at this collateral damage coming
9319s	out from everyone Phantom gonna be able
9321s	to live that was Batman he was out of
9322s	there but Superman being the second
9323s	heaviest character in the game is going
9324s	to give him a lot more breathing room to
9326s	survive for as long as possible because
9328s	right now he has to play stock tank
9330s	because mitsukin's already at 117 on the
9332s	lightest character it has been playing
9334s	mad aggressive a lot of the time
9336s	fantastic charged upswing coming up from
9339s	pleb two for one special buy one get one
9342s	free that is three stocks that club team
9344s	cologne has taken that is very very good
9347s	for the routine and it's somewhat what I
9349s	was concerned about starting up I'm not
9351s	as worried about Phantom in these two
9352s	later on inside the set but I am worried
9354s	about them inside this game that double
9356s	stalker right there was huge for the
9358s	blue team and you can see fled tank and
9360s	Timmy taking a much more aggressive
9361s	approach not caring as much Morty even
9363s	though he's at 120 right now totally
9365s	comfortable just going into The Fray in
9367s	a hacking because he knows even if he
9370s	happens to trade a stock right now Finn
9372s	is still relatively low underneath 60
9373s	and is not concerned at all doesn't
9376s	really have to be worried in the
9378s	slightest right now Morty just just
9380s	buying up extra extra damage right now
9383s	and it's it's it's nice it's refreshing
9385s	to see blue team being comfy inside of
9387s	these early parts of the set so far and
9391s	there's an opportunity there where we
9392s	saw mitsu can almost get a spike or a KO
9394s	with the side special images to get with
9396s	the other instead bring themselves to a
9398s	match when you start to get come to a
9399s	climax of this first game another down
9401s	attack coming up from Clem take that is
9404s	four points on the board purely from
9407s	Club tank playing the Assassin rule
9409s	whether it's off in the corner against
9411s	the atsuki's Arya in the top right or it
9414s	was the double swing from on top of the
9416s	stage the down Spike at the end he was
9417s	just on point look at this that all
9419s	started from upswing he was at 34 South
9421s	War damage when that whole exchange
9423s	started carried him all the way up to
9425s	the right because he recognized that
9426s	mitsuki was gonna play a little bit Fair
9427s	careful and try to keep away from
9429s	everything all that from a Charged Up
9431s	attack and what makes that attack so
9433s	strong again right here gets two for one
9435s	what makes it so strong is when Ben does
9437s	the charge attacks the farther he runs
9440s	across the stage the more powerful it
9442s	becomes which is why you see he does
9444s	does a little bit of a startup
9445s	afterwards they'll do it right here at
9446s	the end as well with the down attack
9447s	which is right after this next Replay
9449s	when he starts up here in the center of
9451s	the stage he's gonna charge up the down
9452s	attack there it is Bam get on him get
9455s	that KO and secure victory for that team
9457s	that was a pure example of pleb tank
9460s	playing the front roll the Assassin
9462s	literally to a T and going in there
9464s	eating tons of chaos while Morty just
9466s	chilled in the back and played more of a
9467s	support role and just like make sure
9469s	he's going to be safe with save points
9470s	healing is hit both himself and his
9472s	teammate shooting off a lot of like
9474s	cover damage with like grenades and guns
9476s	and just all over the place fantastic
9478s	teamwork coming up from blue team and
9479s	one of the other things that I think
9481s	really helped The Blue Team there uh we
9484s	saw Timmy being the focus a lot of the
9486s	times and it's one of the reasons why I
9489s	think unfortunately red team didn't
9490s	necessarily come out on top there Morty
9492s	was totally comfortable playing more of
9494s	that support role classically everyone
9496s	calls mortia support slash Bruiser
9498s	slasher he's a supporter he's a support
9501s	he's a support I don't care by the fact
9505s	he's a mage I think he's a mage
9506s	personally but that we're not going to
9508s	get too far into that my point is that
9510s	that can save you from the blast zone
9512s	Sharpie tell me which Mage does that
9514s	I'll record it right now literally
9517s	having that save point move one of his
9519s	best moves in the game when he's in the
9520s	Blaster and you bring him right back to
9522s	you yeah he's arranged you're right
9523s	you're right he's around you guys
9525s	Sharpie look I I I I think we're going
9529s	to have to agree to disagree inside of
9530s	this instance but there were several
9532s	times sorry I can't hear you I'm
9533s	drinking my water
9535s	there were several times where I think
9538s	Timmy actually went ahead and saved the
9540s	majority of their moves uh it's actually
9542s	for the Arya follow-up which was a big
9545s	reason why red team wasn't able to get
9547s	started up as we've seen inside of
9549s	previous sets inside of this tournament
9551s	we have seen Phantom and misky get
9554s	started up finish these beautiful combos
9556s	on either Superman and Arya or Batman
9559s	and Arya and it's one of the reasons why
9560s	they Excel so much that teamwork is on
9562s	point they are able to follow up on
9565s	every single touch that they get to
9566s	completion basically killing off of like
9569s	a 20 confirm and it's wonderful to see
9572s	things like that being able to follow
9574s	Advantage all the way through Timmy and
9577s	pleb are not allowing them to do it
9578s	basically whenever they focus on that
9580s	Morty getting rid of that very very very
9583s	strong
9584s	support-esque down special move that
9587s	Morty has bringing them out of the blast
9588s	zone Morty always makes sure to save
9591s	that down air to make sure that they're
9594s	not pressing buttons make sure that
9595s	they're not throwing out ray gun or
9597s	grenade and when there's eye of the air
9599s	knowing that Arya is trying to focus
9600s	them there were several times where we
9602s	saw that turn attack try to come through
9604s	on Morty and it was immediately met with
9606s	a down air on Morty keeping them out and
9609s	Superman wasn't able to follow up
9610s	because there was nothing to follow up
9611s	on so it's really about seeing how this
9615s	team of Superman and Arya are going to
9618s	find to try to find that Kink inside of
9620s	Timmy and pleb's armor here
9623s	yeah just trying to find that opening to
9626s	be able to bring it back we're going
9627s	straight back to the map with the
9629s	triplets by the way yet again I get why
9632s	is the popular pick as both teams Thrive
9633s	off of this look at red team with this
9635s	opening Gambit already forging the
9637s	cooldown of the UFO to be able to get
9638s	out there look at them trying to call
9640s	out a double jump on top of that
9641s	advancing would have called out that up
9643s	special that would have been a really
9644s	early stock against Blue Team so I get
9646s	this aggressive approach coming out from
9647s	Red save point was the only reason to
9649s	bring him back because if you noticed
9650s	pleb was out of resources he didn't have
9652s	any coins to be able to pull out a gym
9654s	so he only had an apple and Jimmy
9656s	recognized situation put the same point
9658s	button and brought him right back to
9659s	Center Stage safely for sure I'm really
9662s	really liking the difference in
9664s	aggression here from the red team they
9666s	are still being just as defensive as
9668s	they wore that round one but they're
9669s	taking much more advantages to focus on
9671s	Finn collectively and look at that
9674s	beautiful up test Superman said up up at
9677s	home it's that very first thought the
9679s	second stop being captured by Aria who
9681s	does have five base Stacks we could see
9683s	week and aoe's done come out right now
9685s	while in The Fray and it's all she's
9687s	looking for truthfully I know she is
9689s	because one double stun for the red team
9693s	could be another double KO into a win
9695s	right now and uh both members are
9697s	looking for it look at that beautiful
9698s	stun on Finn did it quite connect that
9701s	sure you can from that Superman right
9703s	there but was able to get quite a bit of
9705s	damage on that sense sitting at 96 now
9708s	yeah trying to dive in there do a lot
9711s	more damage two points on red team jives
9714s	in with a side charge attacks we've been
9716s	getting a lot of mileage off of this
9718s	like a move look I'm trying to chase
9720s	after them all unfortunately Dove a
9722s	little bit too deep winning over his
9723s	head got caught by the down area that's
9725s	another point over there for blue team
9726s	still and maybe attacking in terms of
9728s	points but look at these damages bro
9730s	things are looking pretty bleak here for
9732s	blue Freddy could just keep this
9733s	momentum up which they're doing they
9734s	have stage control they're pushing them
9736s	back off and they're kind of struggling
9737s	to get any sort of momentum I'm very
9740s	concerned as well for The Blue Team even
9742s	though the stock exchange is double even
9744s	though the momentum is closed look at
9746s	the way red team is is channeling their
9749s	aggression right now into very specific
9751s	very focused moments and this is the
9753s	combination attack that I'm talking
9755s	about look at the way they're following
9756s	up right there both Arya and Superman
9758s	were rushing to hear that in the minute
9759s	that they realized that Finn was not
9761s	going to be able to recover they
9762s	immediately moved over to Timmy but it
9764s	was too late I mean Fenn was gone that
9767s	stock was done and they moved over 2011
9769s	we're looking at a very close matchup
9771s	and a very close set right now starting
9773s	from the start of here they got amazing
9776s	early damage because of their Knockouts
9777s	and that early knockout that very first
9780s	stock on that Morty was important
9782s	because what it did was it secured and a
9785s	damage and percentage lead for the red
9787s	team Phantom and mitsu needed that so
9790s	badly it was one of the reasons why they
9791s	lost inside of the previous match inside
9792s	of the set so securing that early not
9795s	only getting the double knockout early
9796s	and also getting the percentage
9798s	Advantage but also right here being able
9800s	to knock up even more being able to
9802s	control the way that every single minute
9805s	blue team recovered on the team also
9807s	helped them immensely so like just
9809s	overall red team doing exactly what
9811s	they've done this entire tournament and
9813s	every single set that they've played
9815s	take the very first round as data and
9818s	then move forward to have a very
9819s	commanding presence later on inside the
9821s	set the very reason why they are one of
9823s	my favorite teams to watch inside of
9824s	this tournament
9826s	and what's also interesting is I love
9828s	how Phantom kind of baited out there
9830s	near the end we didn't quite catch it on
9831s	the replay but there was a moment where
9833s	Phantom could have gone in and connected
9835s	a side air and got a KO but he
9837s	recognized that save point was activated
9838s	so even if he got that hit he was just
9840s	gonna go back to center stage and then
9842s	get out a disadvantage so instead he's
9843s	like instead of trying to gamble and go
9845s	off stage and risk losing my own life he
9847s	just kind of backed off go back to
9849s	Center Stage help out his teammate wave
9851s	per save point to wear off which it did
9852s	and then it went right back out there
9854s	because guess what he was still in
9855s	disadvantage if Phantom would have hit
9857s	him it would have brought him back to
9859s	Center Stage instead of being at a
9860s	disadvantaged state and because he
9862s	didn't he was able to secure the KO once
9864s	he was playing the patient game waiting
9866s	out the early trigger of the save point
9869s	from Morty that awareness is exactly why
9872s	I think we've seen Phantom and nitsu get
9874s	this far inside of the bracket albeit on
9877s	the lower side of bracket they have
9879s	shown that they have what it takes to
9881s	move and even win this entire thing from
9884s	the bottom side of the bracket and I'm
9885s	really excited to to see who's going to
9887s	come out and talk because both Timmy and
9889s	pleb have also shown a very similar
9891s	awareness what's really going to kind of
9893s	determine the remainder of this set is
9896s	how Timmy and pleb adapt inside of this
9899s	match right here the round circuit is
9901s	vital to both of these teams and that's
9903s	really where you're going to see a lot
9904s	of the momentum decided so it's going to
9906s	come down to The Fray and of course when
9907s	you have a momentous Moment Like This
9909s	you have to go to Mansions you have to
9912s	go to Mansions not ruthless Mansions but
9914s	classic Mansions you feel me Aussie
9917s	I I do I don't quite understand this
9921s	counterpick because a lot of those chaos
9923s	were coming from horizontally area and
9925s	it doesn't even matter
9929s	right into that funnel the counter's big
9931s	now working out for blue team whatsoever
9933s	that very start what a fantastic start
9935s	to Phantom they need to get just
9936s	immediately delete those double Kos
9938s	what's interesting is this counterpick I
9940s	feel like is kind of like a desperate
9942s	like I don't know what to do let's go
9944s	and take him to Scooby's at the roof
9945s	that's what that's what the stage
9946s	counter big screams to me yes
9948s	for sure and you know based off the very
9951s	first KO especially the double KO right
9953s	now I don't necessarily know if it was
9956s	the smartest counter pick in the world
9957s	for Timmy and plett to do there but you
9959s	know who it is pig offer Phantom and me
9961s	too and you know why look at their combo
9964s	opportunities here look at the way that
9966s	they're following up off of literally
9967s	every single touch we're not seeing the
9969s	same thing happen for pleb and tank
9970s	we're seeing a much more reactive play
9972s	come out for them which is why they're
9974s	kind of behind right now because they're
9976s	more so reacting to situations that
9978s	Phantom and meets were putting them in
9979s	instead of being the ones putting them
9981s	inside that situation and they're not
9983s	responding I would say uh the most
9984s	positively every single time they're
9986s	kind of just throwing out what they
9987s	happen to have inside of some of these
9989s	instances and now Morty can't even help
9991s	out the Finn who is getting save pointed
9993s	there beautiful save point by the way
9995s	but it does ultimately oh my goodness
9998s	this is not a good opportunity this is
10000s	not a good place for blue team to be
10003s	right now Finn at 138 completely unable
10006s	to help Morty who they are going to go
10008s	ahead and just rack up some damage on
10010s	basically for free right now they're
10012s	totally content just playing the game
10014s	because red team is up on that stop
10016s	securing that final knockout on Finn for
10019s	the double BM tonti finish Aussie you
10023s	love and you hate to see it
10026s	that was quite the counter pick for a
10029s	stage like I cannot stress enough that I
10032s	cannot see why they would ever pick this
10034s	stage as a counter pick because the only
10036s	reason you go to this stage in
10038s	particular is because you're getting
10039s	chaot off the vertical so much which is
10042s	not like it was happening but it wasn't
10044s	like the main source of the chaos
10046s	they're getting a lot of horizontal
10047s	chaos a lot of Spike chaos and to me it
10049s	screened that they were just kind of
10051s	like unsure of what to do and want to
10053s	just like mix it up you know they wanted
10055s	to mix it up for the sake of mixing it
10056s	up and it did not work in their favor so
10058s	I do not foresee them going back here
10059s	for game number four and instead of
10061s	probably gonna think about a different
10062s	counter pick instead because it's kind
10064s	of hard to get a counter pick against a
10066s	team like this right because you have
10068s	Superman who's really good at getting
10069s	Kos off the horizontal and spikes you
10071s	have Arya who's also good at getting
10072s	kills off of the top in the spikes so
10075s	there's really nowhere to pick them in
10077s	towards of getting them the
10078s	disadvantages more about picking a stage
10080s	that you feel comfortable on where you
10081s	can make things work where you want to
10083s	be able to work so I could see them
10084s	wanting to go to like maybe trophy's
10086s	Edge or right back over to Skyrim for
10088s	the Big Wide Open Stage instead for sure
10090s	I think sky Arena would be a really good
10092s	pick actually beside this case even
10093s	though I love Mansion I have to agree
10095s	with you Austin when you're right you're
10097s	right you know especially when you
10099s	happen to tell me that Mansions was a
10101s	bad pick except when you're wrong which
10103s	is when you tell me that Manchester's
10104s	bad pick you know um in this instance of
10106s	course you're right uh sky Arena would
10108s	be really really good for all players
10109s	involved and I I do think we will be
10111s	seeing them return over to sky Arena
10113s	based off the music I'm hearing thus far
10115s	inside of the game you know what sharpie
10117s	what we'll do we'll have a session right
10119s	like four hours straight
10122s	only I'll make you hate this stage I'll
10125s	do it and they're going right back to it
10130s	[Music]
10132s	is that they took them back like after
10134s	that performance they really wanted to
10136s	try this again I'm kind of shocked by
10137s	this kind of perplexed you know I'm
10139s	happy I'm happy that they did it because
10141s	uh if there's something inside of me
10144s	it's the heart of the player truly
10146s	believing that they have an opportunity
10148s	look at that thin conversion right there
10150s	I do think Finn excels inside of
10152s	Scooby's Mansion I get it I understand
10154s	the hate for it I know nobody liked that
10157s	roof I know everybody dislikes Believers
10160s	I know everybody hates the fact that you
10163s	go outside it has a strong word okay
10165s	okay but they really really don't like
10167s	it Austin is the truth all right and and
10170s	looking at the way that Phantom and
10172s	mitsu are excelling inside of here it
10174s	only cements to me that not only can
10176s	very very good players control the
10178s	pacing inside of mansions similar to
10181s	every other stage which is why I think
10183s	that Mansion is a very viable
10184s	competitive stage in addition uh but it
10187s	also showcases the fact that Eva even
10189s	when you counter picked what you do have
10190s	to practice on these stages you're not
10192s	necessarily comfortable on look at the
10193s	way that Phantom and needs to are using
10195s	a momentum to move around specifically
10197s	the center of stage to keep everybody
10200s	safe inside of the house when they do
10202s	leave the stage especially when they
10204s	leave the house they immediately go back
10205s	in and that is what why I think they're
10207s	at such high percentages they identify
10209s	the minute you step out of that house it
10211s	gets scary it gets a lot less bouncy and
10213s	you have a lot less control over whether
10215s	or not people are able to survive and I
10218s	think uh Timmy and plebs win condition
10220s	here is really just making sure that
10222s	Phantom and mitsu get out of this super
10224s	spooky house and secure that victory
10227s	look at that cider to the narrow
10229s	conversion bringing this to a match
10230s	point for red team unfortunately I'm
10232s	gonna mess up that recovery is gonna
10234s	mess up the set that's gonna be Phantom
10236s	and mitsuki and taking the game three to
10238s	one is gonna move on into losers semis
10241s	they try to get the counter pick with
10242s	the zany Scooby's mansion with the roof
10244s	but unfortunately did not work out for
10246s	them at all they're gonna go down with a
10248s	fifth place finish which by the way a
10250s	top five team in all of Europe not
10253s	something to sneeze at at all you know
10255s	both teams will be very very proud of
10257s	the way that they played inside this
10258s	game but I especially think that pleb
10260s	and Timmy should be very proud because
10261s	not only was the very first match inside
10263s	of this set Incredibly Close and
10266s	incredibly strong but the adaptation
10268s	that they showed even though Phantom and
10271s	me too came out on top I think was
10272s	truthfully par none there were several
10274s	times inside of this set where I
10275s	actually did think that pleb and Timmy
10277s	could have secured a stock Advantage
10279s	they didn't come out on top ultimately
10281s	and I think it's just because Phantom
10282s	and me too are that much stronger of a
10285s	team but it was a very good show for all
10287s	players involved
10288s	oh yeah definitely you're gonna see
10290s	Phantom meets again moving on into
10292s	losers semi so now we had six teams now
10294s	we're down to five can I go take a trip
10296s	over the other side of losers quarters
10298s	we're gonna have paradise and escobee
10300s	facing off against carrion and urban
10301s	door so These Guys these are some of the
10303s	players that we haven't seen for quite
10304s	some time you know we're gonna run that
10306s	upper side of that lower bracket now
10307s	we're on the Lower Side paradise and
10309s	Kobe coming over from France carrion
10310s	from France as well Urban door from
10312s	Belgium so a lot of France players still
10314s	in this braggy which I'm not shocked but
10316s	I said at the beginning of this
10317s	broadcast I'll continue to say it France
10319s	loves this game it is continually
10320s	striving to be one of the best regions
10322s	in the entire world and they're
10324s	constantly running tournaments just for
10326s	spiritually just for France or even for
10328s	all of Europe so I'm not shocked at all
10329s	that a lot of these players are coming
10330s	from France in general I kind of It kind
10333s	of speaks for just Esports in general
10334s	for France I feel like France has been
10336s	like on another level in terms of a lot
10338s	of other games too so all obviously they
10340s	want to get into multiverses as well
10342s	we're gonna dive in to see what they're
10344s	gonna be playing here right because you
10345s	got Paradise it's gonna be rocking with
10347s	that Bugs Bunny yes Kobe's gonna be Rock
10348s	talking with either Harley or Batman
10350s	probably on the Batmans it's primarily
10351s	what we've been seeing all day today
10353s	well on the other side toga you got
10354s	carry on on the Jake and urban door on
10356s	the Shaggy Shaggy Galore we've been
10358s	seeing so many great players in the
10360s	previous set so I feel like that team is
10361s	playing on fire right now Sharpie now
10363s	one of the things that we mentioned
10365s	about Jake is well Jake is very
10367s	prevalent on the North America side of
10369s	the bracket we have not seen it as much
10371s	on the EU side at all one of the things
10373s	I'm very interested to see specifically
10375s	is how Harley and Batman how that kind
10379s	of like team that that paradise and Kobe
10382s	move forward with not Harley in Batman
10384s	but the switch off between Harley and
10385s	Batman how they'll actually counter play
10387s	against Jake a character who has so many
10389s	different tools not only inside of the
10391s	air but also side of the ground as
10392s	everyone knows Jake's up special is
10394s	incredibly good at securing knockout
10396s	opportunities in addition that stretchy
10399s	area the hitbox is very very difficult
10402s	to hit if you're not correct Batman has
10404s	an easier time with hitting it Harley
10405s	not so much so it is going to be really
10408s	interesting to to see the way that that
10410s	bugs and Harley go into this next set
10412s	especially against the Jake and whether
10414s	or not they choose to actually focus on
10416s	Shaggy or they're actually going to
10417s	focus on the Jake we've seen teams kind
10419s	of take an interesting approach
10420s	especially on the North American side
10421s	when they're confronted with a J player
10423s	where they actually focus on the other
10425s	character inside of that team so um
10428s	especially looking at this match right
10430s	now between both Harley uh and bugs this
10434s	matchup specifically I am partial to
10436s	believe that they actually will be
10437s	focusing on the Shaggy over the Jake
10440s	inside of this very next matchup but I'm
10441s	interested in knowing your thoughts
10442s	austie
10443s	well you know what it's not a European
10446s	set unless there's some history to go
10448s	through these two fought each other an
10451s	EU open number one and guess who came
10453s	out on top it was Paradise and Es Kobe I
10456s	cannot stress enough that paradise knee
10459s	as Kobe throughout the entirety of the
10461s	circuit of fall Showdown have not lost a
10465s	single game except against two rizz in
10468s	SJP is that gonna continue we might see
10471s	it again again this happened this was a
10473s	month ago the number one so a lot of
10475s	time has passed curiano could easily
10477s	bring up something new they asked
10478s	seventh place at that third place from
10479s	Paradise and Es Kobe so tons of action
10482s	here and tons of History you know they
10483s	want to get that run back and kind of
10485s	prove themselves that hey we got seventh
10487s	at the first qualifier but in finals
10489s	we're guaranteed top five so they've
10491s	definitely leveled up and improved to
10492s	see what we're gonna bring to the table
10494s	here we're gonna dive into Scooby's
10495s	Mansion for game number one with no roof
10499s	oh is there there is a roof oh yeah
10509s	we saw it before and uh actually this is
10512s	what happened in any East number one
10514s	because game number one was actually
10515s	Scooby's mansion with a roof and we were
10517s	kind of dissecting why that happens and
10519s	how that could happen how how the
10521s	supplies I don't know how the set count
10522s	works and how you get to like that first
10524s	stage it's a stage striking system right
10526s	so every stage in the roster is viable
10530s	the viable pick for game number one but
10531s	each team takes turns striking one or
10533s	two stages until there's one stage left
10535s	so what happened in NA East earlier
10538s	yesterday which I think had happened is
10540s	that no one was striking Scooby's
10541s	mansion with roof because they're like
10542s	I'm not gonna waste my strike on that
10544s	the other team will do it and eventually
10545s	came down with their two stages left and
10547s	the team was like you know I don't want
10548s	this other stage I want to take him to
10549s	Scooby's Mansion roof and that's like I
10551s	think it's actually a viable strategy is
10552s	that you don't strike it because you
10553s	think the other team's going to and
10554s	that's how you find out that you get a
10556s	stage like that for game number one
10557s	unfortunately that's not what's
10558s	happening here we're gonna be going to a
10560s	different map here momentarily you know
10562s	I personally just want to thank every
10565s	single team inside of the game right now
10568s	and inside of the tournament who has
10570s	heard my cries and heard my pleas and
10574s	heard my suggestions for Mansion Just
10576s	because I genuinely believe that y'all
10579s	are the real MVPs you know I talk about
10581s	it all the time the multiverses pros the
10583s	MVPs out here they'd be looking out for
10586s	your girl Sharpie and they'd be giving
10588s	me some amazing matches I get to see
10590s	some amazing high level play on mansion
10593s	and that's all I ever want whenever I
10594s	commentate these sets so thank you y'all
10598s	I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you
10600s	sure but have you played ranked yet you
10602s	know don't call me out like this on
10604s	stream please no no I just wanted to ask
10605s	if you played ranked because uh this
10607s	weekend they actually introduced new
10609s	stages and uh They removed Scoobies with
10611s	a mansion away from the roster that is
10613s	no longer a stage you can run into on
10614s	ranks and the the community was very
10616s	happy about it you know
10626s	you're trying
10630s	we out here as Garnet players have a
10633s	zero percent win rate on Mansion so I
10636s	never pick it my teammate never picks it
10638s	but you know what I appreciate it is it
10640s	being picked inside a competitors you
10641s	know what look where we are look where
10643s	we are God bless God bless God bless
10646s	it's and it's real this time it's not
10647s	hand warmings Austin you know no no outs
10650s	I guarantee you this was a case of what
10653s	I just explained a state striking where
10655s	no one was gonna ban it and eventually
10656s	was like you know what let's just go
10658s	there screw it it's available it's on
10659s	the table let's do it it's it's what we
10661s	deserve it's what we deserve as
10662s	Multiverse players now as we go into
10664s	this game one of this set right now look
10667s	at the way that's that shaggy is able to
10669s	go ahead and already get quite a bit of
10672s	damage on Harley immediately outside the
10674s	bouncy house puts him back in and now
10676s	we're just up specialing our way up and
10678s	up charging our way into a possible
10680s	death for Harley who's sitting right
10681s	there at 131 inside the house and Jake
10684s	is just going all out on that burger
10686s	right now
10688s	yeah trying to find these answers look
10689s	at these fully charged Nares coming out
10691s	though is that the sandwich right on top
10692s	of them gets another KO exchange it in a
10695s	punish to punish game and now we're
10697s	seeing another down here coming out from
10698s	Buzz he has another KO against the
10700s	Harley thing stocks are starting to fly
10702s	through the tables today oh really
10704s	really nasty play so far I'm really
10708s	when it comes to follow
10711s	changes right now they are just staying
10713s	and sticking to that bug so they have
10715s	identified the threat and they
10716s	understand that they let big bunny get
10719s	started then they do not win this set so
10721s	I think really establishing that and
10723s	understanding it and understanding and
10725s	sticking to that character is going to
10728s	secure a red team will win here if
10730s	they're able to follow up
10738s	Kobe's exchange on the right side to
10740s	secure that stock and now they are three
10743s	points to two again I cannot stress this
10745s	enough paradise and Kobe have yet to
10746s	lose a single game except the one team
10748s	and that might change wow
10751s	you're turning the tables on Blue Team
10754s	put dent in that
10755s	they had the plot armor is now deleted
10758s	and that is now finally a game lost for
10760s	paradise and Es Kobe that is not against
10762s	risen SJP for the first time this entire
10766s	circuit very strong showing can we talk
10768s	about that last double stock that we saw
10770s	right there I think something that we
10773s	saw uh Urban and and specifically the
10775s	red team do there was when they saw
10777s	Paradise in Kobe inside of a
10779s	disadvantaged state off stage and they
10781s	understood and recognized how many
10783s	recovery options they had left they
10784s	immediately went all in putting
10786s	themselves actually in a very dangerous
10788s	spot where it could have easily been
10790s	turned out of their favor leaving the
10792s	house at those percentages I believe
10793s	Shaggy were somewhere inside of the
10795s	market of actually like over I I think
10797s	it was like 90. yeah like right here
10799s	look at that he's at 80 dangerous
10801s	situation to be in but luckily because
10803s	of Jake's down air and kickflip
10806s	opportunities uh that pressure was very
10808s	easy to follow up on you could tell that
10810s	that Jake player was very comfy leaving
10812s	the stage securing those Knockouts and
10814s	then returning back in immediately to go
10816s	ahead and BM with an eating of Shaggy
10818s	and just showing that they are full off
10820s	of that win beautiful showing you could
10823s	tell like kirian was a big fan of that
10825s	cider near the end that thing had a
10827s	dacticated like three different times
10829s	but it didn't matter when you're that
10830s	close to the bottom of the blast zone
10831s	you're gonna have the maximum amount of
10832s	attack DK you're gonna go flying into it
10834s	that's exactly what happens what makes
10836s	Jake's side air so strong is the fact
10838s	that has a lot of range and you can
10840s	angle it so you can kind of sometimes
10842s	even react to where your opponent's
10843s	gonna go or try to guess where they're
10844s	gonna go before letting that punch rip
10846s	because there's a little bit of charge
10847s	on it so while you're like aiming it
10849s	it's like think of it like a bow and
10850s	arrow you have to aim it you have to
10852s	charge it and then you let it go and
10853s	while you're doing that you can kind of
10854s	change the aim while you're in
10855s	mid-charge that's exactly what Jake does
10858s	if you guys remember like there's like
10859s	an alpha test even the tech test in the
10861s	past Jake's side air was even stronger
10864s	that used to kill like 50 damage from
10866s	center stage of the stage like it was
10868s	like obnoxiously strong so it's been
10869s	turned down toned down significantly and
10872s	it's still a good tool in his kit it's
10875s	it's really interesting interesting to
10876s	see the progression of a character like
10877s	Jake especially when you look at some of
10880s	the character tracks that other other
10882s	like characters have literally been
10884s	through in terms of Buffs and Nerfs but
10887s	we're not going to get too far into that
10888s	because I don't want to start setting up
10889s	unadulterated J cat hate inside of our
10892s	commentary here because I feel as though
10894s	once again and a lot of players will
10896s	agree with me Jake is a very popular and
10898s	a very good character especially inside
10900s	the 2v2s meta just not very popular on
10902s	the EU side from what we've seen so far
10904s	which I appreciate I like the character
10905s	variety here and I'm also really
10908s	personally appreciating once again these
10910s	mansion picks as we go into this very
10913s	next game are we gonna go back to
10914s	Mansion are we gonna go to sky Arena are
10917s	we gonna go to Trophies Edge sky Arena
10919s	it's sky Arena it is sky Arena you know
10921s	and I think that's a right call I think
10922s	that's the right call I've seen a lot of
10924s	mansion today and while I agree with
10925s	every single time they pick it I do also
10928s	really agree with diarrhea here um you
10930s	know the times they lost
10932s	you know don't call me out don't call me
10934s	out I mean I'm just saying red team Red
10936s	Team One the red team is up one right
10938s	now they won from Mansion they should be
10940s	thanking man yeah yeah you know oh yeah
10942s	100 Kyrie and urban are up that 1-0
10944s	against paradise and Kobe as we're gonna
10946s	jump right here into game number two in
10950s	this set we're gonna see how he's gonna
10951s	be able to play out with the bugs and
10953s	the Harley let's see how they can be
10955s	able to play look at all these traps and
10956s	everything everything happening all over
10957s	the place
10958s	it's a
10959s	it's a really nice start so far for red
10961s	team we're also seeing them secure that
10962s	stock out really really early despite
10964s	the high ceilings here uh Jake really
10966s	using that up air to go ahead and just
10969s	secure a lot of that a lot of these
10970s	aerial situations which is exactly how
10972s	we got the very first knockout um but
10973s	I'm not seeing them follow up as much
10976s	especially when bugs went up in the air
10977s	it's mostly because I think they're
10979s	trying to stick together especially as
10980s	Shaggy to stick onto uh get both
10983s	characters on the blue team up to high
10985s	percentages which I think is the smart
10986s	move especially on a stage like sky
10988s	Arena you know Flats where you have much
10990s	more room to work around you want to
10991s	make sure you have both members of the
10992s	team especially blue on a on someone of
10995s	the carry situation uh wow amazing trade
10998s	there got double stocks right there and
11001s	now we're looking at literally two oh a
11004s	two one right now in terms of knockouts
11006s	on the blue team's Advantage what what
11008s	why why is red team being so I want to
11011s	say less aggressive this time around
11013s	with uh following up on some of these
11015s	knockout opportunities here Aussie are
11017s	you seeing something can I even play
11018s	it's because I'm playing a little bit
11020s	more passive right oh my gosh that was a
11022s	Bluetooth unfortunate amateurish mistake
11024s	almost like jumping into the blast zone
11027s	yeah unfortunately for him but that's
11028s	okay we got two points to three still
11030s	red team could easily bring this back
11031s	manager to close out this Harley stock
11033s	against es Kobe gets the downer
11035s	unfortunately couldn't do it but as to
11037s	why they're playing a little bit more
11038s	fast it's because they have more room to
11040s	work with with sky Arena at the bigger
11042s	Open Stage Shaggy thrives on having
11044s	people approach him instead because he
11046s	can actually like go for like the
11048s	charges and stuff but unfortunately now
11050s	they're stuck in a rock and a hard place
11052s	shaggies what one thing Sharpie and it's
11055s	disgusting they want to charge their
11057s	rage and what happens they die for it
11060s	they're all the way up to the top he
11061s	charges it up he's like bet he has come
11063s	he goes up there throws out the mine
11065s	don't let the bat Stumpy lets it loose
11067s	and gets that stock all because Urban R1
11070s	to go for a rage charge near the blast
11072s	zone if I had a nickel every time I've
11074s	seen a Shaggy die for going for a rage
11076s	charge I'd be a millionaire yeah for
11078s	sure and you know it's one one of those
11080s	things watching every single one of
11082s	these Knockouts right now I'm looking at
11083s	every single time that shaggy has been
11085s	punished for rage and it is stacking up
11087s	to literally be half of the stocks that
11089s	red team actually lost there it's
11091s	unfortunate because rage power up was
11094s	also the reason why Shaggy was able to
11095s	get the very first knockout in red
11097s	team's Advantage you know so like power
11100s	up is such an important tool for Shaggy
11102s	but it really does come down to
11103s	understanding when it's safe for you to
11105s	go ahead and attempt and when it's not
11106s	safe for you to go ahead and attempt in
11108s	addition that's all from Jake really put
11110s	him in a nasty spot because it didn't
11112s	allow him to actually react and cover up
11115s	against that rocket setup on to Shaggy
11117s	which was unfortunately their final
11119s	stock opportunity I don't really know
11122s	how red team comes back to that
11123s	especially if they go back over to sky
11125s	Arena I really don't know what puts them
11127s	up here but do you also have any
11129s	thoughts into that
11132s	um I think it's less about the stage and
11133s	more about how they play there are a
11135s	couple of mistakes here and there coming
11136s	out from red team that blue team was
11138s	definitely capitalizing on and talking
11140s	about that rage charge that we were kind
11141s	of like broadcasting near the end there
11144s	was that moment where Urbandale thought
11145s	he was safe to go for that rage charge
11146s	and granted you know you're on Skyrim
11148s	with no plaster you know the top it's
11149s	really difficult for someone to chase
11150s	after you without putting themselves at
11152s	risk which is something that urbadar
11153s	might have had on his mind he could have
11155s	been charging that rage on purpose to
11157s	force someone to go up there and go for
11158s	a punch and then he like you know
11159s	counteracts it and does something
11160s	against them instead but I think the
11162s	thing he did not expect was the clever
11164s	punish that carry on went for you know I
11167s	did not expect them to throw a bad
11168s	stuffy up there as a punch because
11169s	that's actually a safe option that way
11171s	you're not putting yourself at risk or
11173s	anything and you call out the rage so
11174s	fantastic stuff coming out from
11176s	Bluetooth we just have to wait and see
11178s	where they're gonna be taking it for
11179s	game number three do you think there's a
11181s	possibility later on to the set we may
11183s	be looking at any character changes for
11185s	the red team
11186s	uh I don't think so they've been mostly
11189s	playing Jake and Shaggy this entire
11190s	tournament if anything we might see Esko
11192s	we go to Batman if he feels
11193s	uncomfortable uncomfortable with Harley
11195s	but for kyrian and urban door they've
11196s	been Jake and Shaggy through and through
11198s	now we're going to get another
11199s	unorthodox stage trophies Edge too that
11203s	seems to be the name of the game plan
11204s	here for red team is that like hey wait
11206s	uh we may be feeling uncomfortable
11208s	against you guys on the more Orthodox
11209s	stages yeah so let's take you to the
11211s	unorthodox stage let's take you to
11212s	somewhere weird where there is no stage
11214s	control here right because there's two
11215s	stages on this map this is one of the
11218s	very first time that we've actually seen
11220s	trophies edge with the Middlesex and put
11223s	out and look at that immediately very
11225s	early knockout opportunity there now
11227s	important to note as we've said
11229s	previously as I said the ceilings here
11231s	on trophy's edge are relatively low so
11233s	you do get early Knockouts like that and
11234s	that may be enough just that little
11237s	amount of Headway in that early knockout
11239s	opportunity which uh red team very
11241s	quickly followed up with with that blue
11243s	immediately trading look at the studio
11246s	duo with which blue team is able to go
11248s	ahead and hit and trade these knockouts
11252s	yeah they're doing fantastic job of just
11255s	covering this over and over again
11256s	getting the punish on the punish
11257s	unfortunately could not finish it off
11259s	with the KO now we have ourselves an
11261s	even score in terms of scoreboard but
11262s	red team is bleeding out just a little
11264s	bit right you got erador so you got 78
11266s	damage getting called out by the bat
11267s	stuffy as well on top of that not enough
11269s	to get that KO just yet ceiling not that
11271s	close managed to finish it off with the
11273s	bat swing go last second one on top of
11274s	that Batman going with the follow-up
11276s	there was almost an opportunity instead
11277s	of going afterward instead that was
11279s	almost a scary situation but now we're
11280s	going straight back to three points to
11282s	two three on Blue two on red I'm really
11285s	liking how well Harley is performing
11288s	here her traps have been responsible
11289s	literally for that very last knockout on
11291s	Shaggy and bat uh and bugs of fat has
11295s	actually been responsible for securing a
11297s	number of those kills off of the Trap
11299s	from Harley so it's really nice to see
11301s	the amount of synergy especially on this
11303s	stage and uh you know unfortunate
11305s	unfortunate there that the platform was
11307s	in the way of that but look at the
11308s	percentages on red team right now
11309s	literally one up air away from death
11312s	both members and they really have to be
11314s	careful for that Mallet which secured
11316s	that final knockout putting paradise and
11317s	Kobe 2-1 inside of this losers they are
11320s	literally one game away from staying
11322s	inside of this top eight four evening
11326s	finals another victory yeah they're just
11329s	killing it right now about the game four
11332s	up two to one here on trophies Edge two
11334s	and so many Fantastic Heroes not letting
11337s	the unorthodox stage of trophies Edge 2
11339s	even phase them in the slightest and now
11342s	history looking like it might repeat
11344s	itself in terms of getting that win yet
11345s	again from the EU open number one we'll
11348s	have to wait and see if carrion and
11349s	Robert are going to be able to bring
11350s	something to the table or if we're gonna
11351s	see yet another stage if I was a betting
11353s	man based on the stage that everybody
11355s	kyrian are picking I would be I I would
11358s	not be shocked if we take this to tree
11360s	fort next I wouldn't be surprised to see
11362s	cromulons truthfully I think I think
11364s	Shreveport would be a really really good
11366s	counterfeit but I don't think that we're
11368s	going to see red team go to it just
11369s	because bugs does so well on treefort
11372s	you know like I I would be very
11374s	surprised if we brought to reports pick
11376s	before we see cromulons
11378s	you brought something kind of neat uh
11380s	because actually we've not seen
11382s	crimeulons once this thing and a lot of
11384s	players like cromulons that's actually a
11386s	pretty good stage for players to go to
11388s	but I guess EU doesn't like it as much
11390s	as an example we've seen more Scooby's
11392s	roof and trophies Edge too than
11394s	cromulons or Batcave and that kind of
11396s	like boggles my brain a little bit
11398s	because those two stages are pretty good
11400s	competitively bat cave has the ability
11402s	to have that center stage where it's
11403s	like nice and easy you have the back
11405s	cars there in the very beginning and
11406s	then it becomes very close quarters and
11408s	forces you to have to interact with your
11409s	opponents meanwhile with cromulon it's
11411s	kind of the opposite it's a big wide
11413s	open Stitch to be able at the very
11415s	beginning and as the stereo speakers get
11416s	blown up similar to the Batmobiles it
11418s	turns into like a slightly smaller stage
11420s	with huge blast zones minus the close
11422s	blossoms to the bottom which is also
11424s	like a really good for counter picks but
11426s	we get we have yet to see either of
11428s	those stages this entire tournament
11430s	instead we just keep seeing back uh
11432s	Scooby's mansion with the roof it's kind
11434s	of perplexing I'm also somewhat
11437s	surprised to see that that
11439s	Shaggy is taking the Quirk that actually
11441s	gives you additional
11443s	um it helps to eat the sandwich faster
11445s	as opposed to taking the one that
11447s	actually gives you a little bit more
11449s	like when you actually get over 100 on
11451s	Rage which Shaggy does have
11454s	um I'm I'm interested to see it because
11456s	while I think that rage is a very
11458s	important mechanic especially for Shaggy
11460s	there have been several times where the
11462s	Shaggy player has actually been over 100
11464s	and that little bit of damage could
11466s	actually have helped him more than some
11468s	of these rage setups The Raid shut-ups
11470s	have been incredibly important though I
11471s	do want to stay further so I understand
11473s	I understand why they're taking the
11475s	sandwich part
11477s	yeah I mean the sandwich break is really
11478s	good ever since the Nerf happened to
11480s	Shaggy like I said like just having that
11482s	ability to not be able to put the rage
11484s	sandwich and do the things it makes the
11486s	sandwich for coming to play a lot more
11487s	often it was actually one of the perks I
11488s	liked using was Shaggy but unfortunately
11489s	we have this unspeakable act on the left
11493s	side of the stage carrion just goes down
11495s	with the side air facing downwards into
11497s	the down air skateboard immediately go
11499s	leading that first stock in favor of red
11501s	team a lot of damage going out very very
11504s	quickly and I think this is like one of
11505s	the third times we've seen red team get
11507s	a very very fast Advantage usually when
11511s	we see things like this happen inside of
11513s	the game red team comes out on top like
11515s	it's almost always been the the team
11518s	that gets the first nasty Stock Exchange
11521s	wins the game and that's exactly like
11523s	stocks exactly on the stock exchange you
11525s	want to get that damage and that you
11527s	want to get out fast as heck you know
11528s	and I think red team's doing a really
11530s	good job doing that on sky Arena no
11531s	class here
11533s	yeah they're coming right back into it
11535s	they got that TV ready to go what's
11536s	really funny about bugs is safe is that
11539s	it can be broken by the enemy team and a
11541s	random item drops out of it you're gonna
11543s	get the Adventure Time microwave uh the
11545s	guy his name's escaping me but he's able
11547s	to throw out a bunch of Pies towards his
11549s	opponents to get some easily easy damage
11551s	on top of that
11553s	I don't remember his name either I'm not
11554s	gonna lie
11556s	I watch I watch Rick and Morty all the
11558s	time but I do not remember his name
11559s	um look at some of these Loops right
11561s	here from the Harley and Jake as they're
11563s	like
11565s	I'm sorry
11567s	neptar is his name I just looked it up
11570s	because it was like it was actually
11571s	driving me insane
11574s	look at these look at the way they're
11576s	fine
11578s	look at the way that blue team is flying
11580s	around this map right now
11582s	really nice up there to go ahead and
11583s	secure that knockout and now red team is
11586s	literally one down our way as soon as I
11588s	say that look at the way that they went
11589s	out to secure that this is exactly what
11590s	I'm talking about austie when red team
11593s	gets the momentum early they win win
11595s	blue team gets the momentum early they
11597s	win they are taking these leads they are
11599s	taking that advantage and they are
11600s	moving forward with it and it's kind of
11602s	what we've seen throughout the entirety
11603s	of this set especially now that they are
11604s	up to two
11606s	and that's what makes that Spike by the
11609s	way that first thing so strong for Jake
11611s	is because he has two different ways to
11613s	send you downwards it will makes the
11614s	downer really good is that it's just an
11616s	active hitbox so if you try to jump into
11617s	it you're gonna get caught by the second
11619s	and third hit unless you're already like
11620s	dying from it so it's just such a great
11622s	tool for catching someone and keeping
11624s	them downwards but look at this
11626s	follow-up right here almost got that KO
11627s	managed to get the follow-up here from
11629s	Paradise instead but then the Jake
11631s	coming in yet again kyrian nailing so
11634s	many of these stocks near the edge just
11635s	because he's getting these side areas
11637s	angled downwards they're helping him out
11638s	tremendously and turning this into a
11640s	quite the competitive set as we entered
11641s	game number five finally taking it to a
11644s	normal State that's all it took he's
11645s	like okay we're not we're done with
11646s	these gimmick stages let's just go to
11648s	like a basic Open Stage like you know a
11651s	sky Arena and end up working wonders for
11653s	them and now the counter pick Advantage
11655s	is now in paradise and Es Kobe's favor
11658s	one game away from being sent to fight
11660s	to figure out who's going to be getting
11661s	fifth place here at the fall Showdown
11663s	European finals now it's
11665s	interesting is this
11667s	in five that we've had inside of the
11668s	bracket so far Austin I believe it is
11670s	correct uh it's the second gameplay
11672s	we've had on broadcast off stream there
11674s	were a couple of game fives but not that
11676s	many we had a club tank and Timmy take
11679s	out OG San and atsui two to three or
11681s	three to two risking sap took out viren
11683s	and rip three to two uh passy and uh
11687s	sorry passy and Minnie Michael took out
11689s	RJ King and lager three to two and then
11693s	finally kyrian and urban took out OG
11694s	sanatsui three to two psycho and magma
11696s	took out trap on experience this is
11698s	actually quite a couple three twos they
11699s	just weren't on the broadcast gotcha got
11701s	you well you know what's interesting is
11702s	this is the second game five that we've
11704s	been able to see on broadcast and I
11705s	think it's going to become a lot more
11707s	frequent as we move further through this
11709s	top eight just because of the skill
11712s	level of our opponents game five always
11714s	showcases that not only are teams very
11716s	very good at adapting they're also very
11718s	very good at understanding and changing
11720s	immediately what not only they are doing
11722s	wrong but also recognizing what their
11724s	opponent is doing and that amount of
11726s	adaptation is so important as you move
11728s	further through the bracket as I said a
11730s	numerous amount of times but as we go
11731s	into this gameplay it's going to be
11733s	incredibly important to see what the
11734s	round start is for both these players as
11736s	we go to Skyrim flaps
11739s	yeah skyrimplatz gonna help them out
11741s	this is actually a really really good
11743s	stage for paradise and Kobe just because
11745s	they both want those ladder combos right
11747s	Bugs Bunny and Harley Quinn both Thrive
11749s	off of getting people towards the top of
11751s	the stage and having that additional
11752s	platform to be able to reset your
11753s	resources to continue chasing after your
11755s	opponents vertically is going to help
11756s	them out so much when trying to finish
11759s	off those little bit of chaos look at
11760s	this Chase already around the gate
11762s	coming out from Paradise is kind of just
11764s	puts on a lot of damage against curious
11766s	got a fully charged rage coming out from
11768s	overdr doesn't it'll end up finding its
11770s	Mark but that's okay we got a combo
11771s	damage coming up from literally everyone
11772s	on the stage I'm really liking some of
11775s	these up specials from Jake right now to
11777s	go ahead and rack up that amount of
11778s	damage look at Harley at 119 right now
11780s	just try to secure that knockout a lot
11783s	of up airs a lot of up charges a lot of
11786s	up specials just trying to get these
11788s	Knockouts confirmed and red team is
11790s	focusing on threats they got that Bugs
11792s	Bunny and they got him out fast all
11794s	right look at the way they now
11796s	immediately change their focus over to
11797s	Harley takes the opportunity to go ahead
11799s	and get that rage charge and now Harley
11802s	is just kind of playing keep away right
11804s	now they immediately go on bugs
11806s	understanding they won't be able to grab
11807s	that Harley and now Harley's back in the
11809s	frame not able to stop that enrage from
11811s	coming out because of Shaggy's charge
11812s	but is able to go ahead and play around
11814s	and that is until Jake comes through
11816s	with that down air to kickflip you stock
11819s	then Sharpie I cannot stress this enough
11821s	that this would be a huge upset for
11823s	kyrian and Erbert to take this set and
11825s	right now they're up two points to zero
11827s	on this game five situation we have
11829s	another combo coming out gets called out
11832s	all the way the top left side perfect
11834s	timing coming up from Paradise to be
11837s	able to just shut down any momentum that
11839s	Richie was starting to build and weigh
11840s	ourselves a pretty even game here yes
11842s	there are fresh stocks on Red Sea but
11843s	look at this combo damage coming out
11845s	from Holly so trying to dig around and
11847s	try to find the opening when they can
11848s	try to start to build up even more
11850s	damages Paradise is looking for this
11852s	nice opening chilling in the back line
11854s	playing that I need damage playing the
11856s	stock tank roll and just playing a
11857s	little bit more support in the
11858s	background while carrion comes back in
11860s	with that skateboard ranking of a ton of
11861s	damage and putting on the flame debuff
11863s	onto the opponents this is getting
11864s	really close to neck and neck action
11866s	right now very much so every single one
11868s	of these projectiles that comes out from
11870s	Bugs is being followed immediately by
11872s	Harley and it's securing a lot of
11874s	momentum opportunities
11876s	unfortunately the red team is doing
11878s	really really good about it
11882s	knockout right now they're following up
11884s	in that Harley that up air does connect
11886s	and that is going to be a win over here
11889s	for red team moving Kobe and Paradise
11892s	the personal favorites inside of this
11894s	bracket out of tournament what an offset
11898s	austie
11899s	dude carrion and urban are finally
11901s	kicked it up to snub Volume 11 bro they
11904s	just turned up so much in this set
11907s	especially when they were down two to
11908s	one and they're just kind of like what
11909s	are we doing this point they managed to
11911s	just stick back to their Basics and
11913s	finally broke the curse that was
11914s	Paradise and Goby going not losing a
11916s	single game except for one team and
11918s	takes another set loss the winners the
11921s	third place finishers rather of e-open
11924s	number one going down with a fifth place
11926s	finish giving up for paradise and Kobe
11928s	going down with a fifth wow Kieran and
11930s	urban are who got seventh at that
11932s	tournament are now guaranteeing
11933s	themselves a top four finish in all of
11936s	you you know really really strong play
11939s	from both players there I really enjoyed
11941s	watching that said I actually have to be
11943s	a little bit biased here Aussie I
11945s	actually think that was my most favorite
11946s	set to see inside of the tournament thus
11948s	far I'm sure there'll be more amazing
11950s	moments but I really enjoyed watching
11951s	the entirety of all of those five
11953s	matches from start to finish and you
11955s	know what I'm hoping for right now
11958s	I'm hoping that we see Kieran and his
11961s	teammate get over to Grand finals and
11963s	reset it I'm hoping for it right now you
11965s	think it's possible
11967s	do I think it's possible
11969s	yes I think anything is possible I saw a
11971s	mansion today seven times seven times
11974s	austie seven times did I think I was
11976s	gonna see it seven times no I I you know
11978s	I have my piece of paper right here
11980s	I'm very happy with the number of times
11983s	and that also includes the time that
11984s	there was a mistake with Mansions By the
11987s	way so I'm really enjoying all of the
11990s	unprecedented expectations here and are
11993s	my expectations always correct no but
11995s	you know what you can do if you are
11996s	watching right now on twitch.tv
11997s	multiverses not only can you follow but
11999s	you can also go ahead and donate some
12001s	Channel points to putting your money
12003s	where your mouth is and I'll tell you
12005s	right now as we go into our very next
12006s	match which is going to be to senpi with
12009s	MJ's team up against rizz King and SJP
12013s	I'll tell you my money personally is on
12017s	SJP and I'll tell you why rain dog is
12020s	probably one of the most underrated
12022s	characters inside of the game I know I'm
12025s	gonna make some enemies when I say that
12027s	because everybody knows I've been garnet
12029s	gang gang gang gang but rain dog is such
12032s	an incredibly strong force when you look
12035s	at what they can provide for their team
12038s	in addition Riz King and SJP are also
12040s	running the most accredited team that
12042s	I'm personally very partial to which is
12044s	the double support team as you know so
12047s	I'm really really enjoying the Velma and
12050s	the rain dog inside of their set and I'm
12051s	really hoping that they come through
12052s	just like how I have to vote for my good
12055s	friends house arrest and monk every
12057s	single time I see him I gotta go with
12059s	Riz and SJP as we go into this Winner's
12062s	finals yeah it's it's funny that you
12065s	call them like underrated for rain dog
12066s	because I think I'll especially over an
12068s	N A they're starting to understand this
12070s	character is actually busted and we're
12071s	seeing okay bus is a very strong word
12075s	he's a very strong character in my
12077s	opinion I think he does a lot he adds a
12079s	lot to the table he can throw Fireballs
12081s	all over the stage a little bit with
12082s	passive damage whether it's a fireball
12084s	the electric Crystal the tethering
12086s	adding on additional damage having the
12087s	ability to bring your teammate out from
12088s	the depths of you know getting ko'd
12090s	really early on he has a strong combo
12092s	game he can side air on the middle of
12094s	the stage and bring you off stage with a
12095s	downer and get a spike really early on
12097s	he can catch you off the top with an up
12099s	air like I could keep going like he has
12101s	so many Tools in his kit that allow him
12103s	to be a very strong Contender for being
12106s	up like just a good character and that's
12108s	why we saw monka in house arrest to win
12110s	it not only because they're good players
12111s	but they're rocking a really good team
12113s	almost like a team that I've yet to see
12114s	from literally anyone else I still think
12116s	they're people are throwing but not
12118s	trying out the ring dog boarding team
12120s	because just being able to save each
12122s	other is such a strong tool in your Kip
12125s	I guess it requires a lot of synergy
12126s	between the two players which is what we
12127s	see from Monk and house arrest but that
12129s	is neither here nor there we are jumping
12130s	into a different support double support
12131s	team we are seeing Velma and Rain dog
12134s	coming out two seven and MJ have yet to
12137s	lose a single set this entire circuit
12139s	and will this be the start of it we'll
12140s	have to wait and see these two have
12141s	never faced off against each other the
12143s	first set with no history in the in
12145s	terms of fall Showdown circuits this is
12148s	going to be the person that got first at
12150s	eopen number two which is uh sempi and
12152s	MJ basing up against risking and SJP who
12155s	got second place at the first EU open so
12158s	they never really had that opportunity
12159s	to face off against each other you gotta
12161s	remember this is now no longer France
12164s	it's too simpy coming from Poland MJ
12166s	from the Netherlands risking from Sweden
12169s	SCP from UK we're literally going all
12171s	over the place with this match
12173s	you know it's also really interesting as
12175s	well watching all of EU come out to
12178s	represent I I know we've talked about it
12180s	multiple times throughout the entirety
12182s	of this bracket but I am so proud of the
12185s	entire multiversis Community especially
12186s	the EU multiversis Community for showing
12189s	out and showing up to this fall Showdown
12192s	we have had so much representation we
12194s	have had people from Portugal we've had
12196s	people from Spain we have had people
12197s	from Poland we have had people from the
12200s	Netherlands and Sweden participating
12201s	inside of this bracket it has been a
12204s	contending list and look at the amount
12207s	of players that we have across the globe
12209s	especially inside of Europe showing up
12212s	for multiverses especially competitive
12214s	multiverses it's really amazing to watch
12216s	personally Aussie but as we go into this
12218s	very next set like I've said before my
12220s	favorite is going into this is probably
12223s	going to be SJP but I completely don't
12226s	want to Discount too simpy as well as MJ
12229s	MJ very well known for playing both
12231s	Batman and Shaggy we've seen them be
12233s	incredibly incredibly audacious with
12236s	both incredibly strong with both an
12238s	incredibly prolific as well as good at
12241s	both the offensive and defensive
12243s	properties of both characters now two
12245s	centp has been sticking on that Arya
12247s	from day one every single time we see
12249s	them inside of the tournament they are
12251s	actually playing Arya I cannot think of
12253s	an example where they were not actually
12254s	prolific with Arya but it's going to be
12257s	very interesting to see if Arya is able
12259s	to get in against this Velma and Rain
12261s	dog matchup and actually stick to the
12264s	Rain dog uh preferably or if they're
12267s	able to go ahead and get their hands on
12269s	Velma as we know inside of the past not
12271s	only has SJP been incredibly protective
12274s	of Velma but they've also played the
12276s	stock tank a couple of times when Velma
12278s	is unfortunately out of the mix SJP is
12281s	incredibly good at micro placing and
12283s	making sure that they are slightly off
12285s	every single time using their Dodge only
12287s	when it absolutely matters and moving
12289s	more towards focusing on placement as
12291s	opposed to reactive play when it comes
12293s	to dodging out specifically with moves
12296s	but I'll leave that further analysis to
12298s	you let me ask Aussie as we go into this
12300s	very first set of winners finals is
12302s	there a stage that you think we are
12304s	likely at this round one
12307s	um it's gonna be scary enough uh no
12310s	platforms anywhere uh the thing is
12312s	what's really interesting about this
12313s	comp setup though Sharpie is blue team
12316s	is a rush down comp that's Ari and
12319s	Batman and then you get in their faces
12320s	red team is a campy comp they want to
12323s	stay in the back and set up shop so this
12325s	is like a prime example of like who's
12328s	gonna win the zoner or the rush down but
12330s	like pure zoner in pure Rush down
12332s	because they're both running the exact
12333s	same cops both of these cops kind of
12335s	unorthodox in that regard by the way is
12337s	like usually you want one or one what in
12339s	the world am I looking at
12341s	hahaha
12349s	look at the look at look at the
12352s	Ridiculousness of this match so far tree
12356s	fort a match a set a stage we have not
12360s	seen at all in the entirety of these
12363s	finals we have literally not turned it
12365s	on in a we have not seen it on EU but I
12369s	digress because we are now seeing it on
12371s	EU in this inside of this Winner's
12374s	finals Aussie I know your speeches but
12376s	what I'm mostly excited about is the
12378s	amount of damage that blue team is
12380s	getting onto red team when it comes to
12382s	it look at Velma sitting there at 99
12384s	Batman at 100 and 101 right now and Arya
12388s	sitting at 102. unfortunately that rain
12391s	dog is still at 20 but with those
12393s	weekend Stacks it gets incredibly
12395s	dangerous especially since Ray dog is
12397s	flying up and down and through these
12399s	black follow-up almost resulted in a
12401s	knockout there but they did get the
12402s	devil KO on to that two Senpai and MJ
12406s	they're putting them up two to one
12408s	stocks all right to the side
12410s	yeah we're just seeing a lot of like
12412s	this action where they chill off stage
12414s	on the likes of tree fort you actually
12416s	the bottom of the blast zone is insanely
12419s	close you can get spiked out of single
12421s	little horses go flying off to the top
12423s	results with a match point here for blue
12425s	team already to sempi and MJ playing
12428s	extremely on point right now on this
12430s	stage and honestly this stage might be
12431s	working out extremely well for them
12432s	because it's kind of like prevents red
12434s	team from being able to run away right
12436s	like this is kind of like a Close
12437s	Quarters match it just happened to be
12438s	three different layers to it so it's
12440s	hard for them to try to like play that
12442s	keep away game when they're back on top
12443s	of this so This counter pick or rather
12444s	this opening stage however red team
12447s	agreed to this might be paying dividends
12448s	for them look at that trying to go over
12449s	that cider preventing risky from being
12451s	able to get back on stage manages to get
12452s	the tether to bring him back towards
12454s	safety and that was like the only way he
12456s	was getting out of that disadvantage
12457s	safety because risking was looking like
12458s	he was in trouble
12460s	the number of side stairs side airs that
12463s	I've seen coming out from Batman and the
12465s	number of down airs that I've also seen
12466s	coming out from Batman have been more
12468s	than I care to count and it's also one
12471s	of the reasons why Putin was sitting
12472s	over here with the stock leads why they
12476s	work for so long Batman is just going in
12478s	on this stage and it's very easy for him
12480s	to platform drop from the top there to
12482s	go ahead and get his down ear to connect
12484s	Arya trading last minute with that rain
12487s	dog it was very very close in those
12490s	final moments but Ray dog's down air
12492s	covering up a lot more ground and much
12494s	more active than arya's up air resulting
12497s	in blue red team very very barely
12500s	getting that final stock but as we go
12501s	through these replays you can kind of
12502s	see what I'm talking about look at the
12504s	number of times that we see both Arya
12507s	and Batman just playing the aerial game
12509s	regardless of where they are on the
12511s	platforms several times we see up airs
12514s	secure these Knockouts not only for red
12516s	team but also for blue team look at that
12518s	down air right there up and to that
12521s	final up uh that up special by Batman
12523s	and go ahead and secure those Knockouts
12525s	now this final stock that we see right
12527s	here not this one which tied it up but
12529s	this very next one was one of the more
12531s	contending points that I saw and it
12533s	actually has nothing to do with tree
12534s	four look at the way that that that they
12537s	treated right there with her final
12539s	breath Arya came up did that up air to
12542s	try to challenge rain dog so that she
12544s	could go ahead and recover back but in
12546s	doing so even though it did connect she
12548s	ultimately fell out of recovery moves
12551s	and wasn't able to grab back onto the
12552s	stage in time resulting in her knockout
12554s	prior to rain dogs and that did secure
12557s	the victory for red team in that round
12559s	one that very contentious round one on
12561s	tree fort now austie I know how you feel
12563s	about three four I know how secure you
12565s	were on the sky Rihanna No plats but how
12568s	secure are you on this game Tuesday
12571s	I don't know anymore man
12574s	this is actually no this is actually a
12576s	really good stage for blue team right
12577s	like I said it's like they can't do the
12580s	camping grounds I think the only reason
12582s	they lost that last game was because to
12585s	sempy was near the bottom of the blast
12587s	zone and just kind of jumped out there
12589s	and played a little bit too aggressive
12591s	270 was at 30 damage when they tried to
12593s	go for that Spike at the very end and
12594s	then died for it so they could have
12596s	easily just stayed on stage and kept
12597s	playing the neutral and eventually
12598s	secure that stock but unfortunately let
12600s	a very early stock go away I felt like
12603s	they felt like they had their pressure
12604s	to do that because the situation of the
12606s	team was at a high damage and that's
12607s	because of tree for Less situation could
12609s	happen again the bottom of the blast
12610s	zones are very close in comparison to
12612s	other stages the majority of the
12613s	majority of the blast zones or the
12615s	majority of the stocks gonna be taken
12616s	near the bottom yeah
12618s	um I'm also noticing a really quick
12620s	change right here from MJ which I was
12622s	really hoping that I would be able to
12623s	see as we moved further inside of the
12625s	set even if they went back to over Tree
12627s	Court yeah MJ taking a much more passive
12629s	role this time around playing a lot more
12630s	defensively playing a lot more uh
12633s	cautionary towards Arya and being a lot
12636s	more respected full of both Velma and
12638s	Rain dog here trying to be much more of
12640s	I want to say a tank than a loser or a
12643s	support than anything and it's just
12645s	trying to make sure that Arya is able to
12647s	have cover whenever she does go in even
12649s	though unfortunately she did get out
12652s	there we are seeing a lot of MJ's damage
12654s	being stacked up just because he's
12656s	playing more of a support too too simply
12659s	here
12661s	and socks are trading left and right
12663s	below for blow risking the SJP already
12666s	out here look at them trying to recover
12667s	these constant barrages of Downers rain
12669s	dog having one of the greatest downers
12671s	in the game because it's just such a big
12673s	wind open hitbox and he can also charge
12675s	it so he can change his trajectory while
12676s	he charges it up anyone that has a
12678s	charge down there is already gonna have
12679s	a fantastic Spike to begin with look at
12681s	this putting in a bad situation goes to
12683s	the downright again recognizes that it's
12684s	not going to go off stage tries to go
12685s	for the fall afterwards and instead two
12687s	Senpai is gonna turn the tables on it
12689s	because I've been looking for that up
12690s	special into something literally
12692s	anything
12693s	yeah rain dog's doing a really good job
12695s	of covering approaches even without any
12698s	real platforms
12702s	really
12705s	the way that that meant and how active
12706s	it was beautiful play you know if I
12708s	didn't know any better I would actually
12710s	say that rain dog may actually be S Plus
12713s	tier austie
12715s	I mean he won a tournament for multi
12717s	versus fall Showdown East and he's
12719s	currently sitting in winners finals of
12721s	Europe looking on the verge of being in
12723s	Grand files you're seeing a top two
12724s	position I think this character is good
12726s	I think this character is really good
12728s	actually I've always thought this
12730s	character has been good
12732s	you know I'm I'm really liking sjp's
12735s	placement here and this is kind of what
12736s	I was talking about at the start of it
12737s	you SJP doesn't just dodge SJP floats
12741s	SJP flies SJP moves through the air at a
12746s	rain dog speed you know it's one of
12749s	those things where I very frequently I
12751s	get confused about who's on the map I
12753s	don't know if it's Superman or if it's a
12755s	rain dog just because of the way he's
12756s	flying and I I really genuinely think
12759s	that a lot of the damage that came out
12763s	there I didn't have an opportunity to
12764s	look at some of the final screens there
12766s	but if I did I actually think the damage
12768s	charts would be higher inside of
12770s	actually sjp's favor than they were for
12772s	the Velma just because of how frequently
12774s	I saw them between that tether to send p
12778s	and MJ are really really in a bad
12781s	position right now they are literally
12784s	two underneath right now red team and
12787s	they have to make a change they have to
12789s	adapt
12791s	yeah then you got to change something up
12792s	but I do want to add by the way whenever
12794s	you get that daily mission and you're
12796s	trying to get you have to do 350 damage
12797s	in one sitting I always pick rain dog
12800s	for that he's the easiest character to
12801s	do it with because of all the passive
12803s	damage he shoots out like I said it's at
12805s	the tether the Fireballs like just
12807s	shooting off straight projectiles from
12809s	the neutral attack like he will just
12810s	naturally gain damage from like staying
12813s	in the back line and shooting out
12814s	playing the support world now we're
12815s	going over to karate Lawns for this next
12817s	stage interesting pick I'm trying to I'm
12820s	trying to get myself into the minds of
12823s	two sentient MJ for all these counter
12824s	picks because right now I'm not quite
12826s	understanding this counter pick the
12828s	bigger the stage the more room they have
12830s	to run away and play the champion that
12832s	you want to do but once the speakers go
12833s	away it does turn into a slightly
12835s	smaller station maybe that's what
12836s	they're going for I guess it's wanting
12838s	to go to potentially like trophies Edge
12840s	one or bat game but chronic ones was
12841s	definitely not a stage I thought that
12842s	they would try to go for I I think
12845s	between mansion and promulence I do
12849s	think Mansion is a better okay
12852s	for uh 270 in my uh Magic but I also
12857s	think that they're probably more
12858s	comfortable on formulans than they are
12859s	on Mansions so I think this was a
12861s	comfort pick between what may have
12863s	possibly been left uh which I do
12866s	actually think was mansions and
12867s	promulond but as we go into this match
12869s	it doesn't look at the counterpick stage
12871s	is actually doing as much disservice as
12875s	they were hoping to risking an SJP here
12878s	who are currently two stocks over uh two
12880s	semp and NJ and now this might be the
12882s	opportunity for them to try to get some
12884s	Rush down in right the speakers are gone
12886s	they can now push them off stage look
12887s	they're both in disadvantage now they
12889s	have stage control all typical speakers
12891s	to be able to go away and now it finally
12893s	might come into fruition for them to try
12894s	to get something all they gotta do is
12896s	shut down these stocks before they take
12897s	any more additional damage and right now
12899s	they managed to get one against risky
12901s	and get that uppercut right out of the
12902s	bottom and now ASAP gonna play this big
12903s	disadvantage game and while rain dog is
12906s	off stage for so long it is just
12907s	constantly adding more passive damage
12909s	throwing up Fireballs more projectiles
12911s	more like tethers for digital damage
12913s	he's doing this all from the
12914s	disadvantage because he was the combo
12916s	game on top of that putting MJ into 94
12919s	damage triple digits now things are
12921s	looking like they're flying out of
12922s	control here but blue team managed to
12923s	get another stock but it might be a
12925s	little bit too late MJ has to stay in
12926s	the back Lane 270 has to be the one that
12928s	goes in look at him trying to get
12930s	something to go it has to happen now
12933s	it's very very dangerous right now for
12936s	that Batman MJ is in an incredibly
12939s	precarious spot right now they have to
12941s	literally get two stocks out of
12943s	basically nothing and that final bit of
12945s	Illumination from Velma is going to
12947s	secure that nasty knockout moving up
12951s	risking and SJP into Grand finals 3-0
12955s	over two centi and MJ Austin can you
12959s	talk us through what happened that
12960s	previous match
12962s	um I I I I want to say that MJ and two
12966s	sempi I think gambled too hard on these
12968s	unorthodox counterpicks and they went
12970s	for chromelons which could have worked
12972s	out for them if they broke the speakers
12973s	a little bit sooner but they already
12975s	lost two socks by the time the speakers
12976s	went away so I would have much preferred
12979s	to have something with like a smaller
12981s	like room to be able to chase down
12983s	risking sap because I feel like we're at
12985s	red team was thriving was anytime
12987s	they're playing the back line anytime
12988s	they're in the back and setting up shop
12990s	and disallowing them from being able to
12992s	chase after them and not like they just
12993s	weren't able to do that much on top of
12996s	that one of the best perks against
12997s	projectile teams which is school me once
12999s	was nerfed in the past couple of days
13001s	yeah if you guys just stack that perk uh
13003s	two times it used to be able to give you
13005s	a shield for four seconds for getting
13006s	hit knocked back by projectile it got
13008s	nerfed now to two seconds of stacked one
13010s	second of it by itself so it's no longer
13012s	as active or as valuable anymore that
13014s	could also be doing something wonders
13015s	for risking and SJP I mean look at that
13017s	they're going they're the three owing
13019s	this entire bracket bro the three-yard
13020s	paradise and Kobe they throwed um uh two
13024s	sempi and MJ this is our first loss in
13026s	the entire Circuit by the way for two
13028s	simpi and MJ and now it's rain dog and
13030s	Velma sitting very nicely over in Grand
13033s	finals and I'm actually taking the peek
13035s	earlier on even further in the bracket
13037s	that I'm seeing here man like they've
13039s	been on quite the tear man they got a
13043s	3-2 against Vernon ripping a 3-0 against
13045s	Joe suit and Alex so they only lost a
13047s	couple games to viren and rip who
13049s	unfortunately went down before top eight
13051s	but guys we have so many more sets to
13052s	come up for you we now have our final
13054s	competitors here for the top four loser
13056s	semis coming up next before we dive into
13059s	that we're gonna take one more break
13061s	before I finish off this entire fall
13062s	Showdown we'll be right back guys

13739s	with the circus since the beginning and
13740s	so have these players and it's almost
13742s	like you know I feel like a tear coming
13744s	up to my eye just a little bit but no
13745s	it's got to go away we still got some
13747s	more sets we're in losers semis now
13749s	Sharpie we're jumping into the next one
13751s	if we take a look at this bracket real
13753s	quick though we're seeing all the
13755s	journeys these players have taken to get
13757s	to this point but before that let's jump
13759s	into the set shall we we got Phantom and
13761s	mitsukin facing off against kyrian and
13764s	urban door now this is going to be quite
13766s	the set right Phantom and mitsukin rot
13769s	representing uh the Superman and the
13771s	Arya over on the left side meanwhile the
13773s	red team is gonna be carrying an urban
13775s	or with the Jake and The Shaggy we have
13778s	players from France Got players from
13779s	Belgium in terms of orbitor and we're
13781s	gonna see how this is going to be able
13782s	to shake up for the rest of this set
13784s	now one of the things I'm interested in
13786s	Austin it may have been just you miss
13789s	speaking in all of your excitement
13790s	earlier but you said we have four more
13792s	sets are you expecting a reset inside of
13796s	those grand finals
13798s	you know I I shouldn't have given away
13800s	the script I messed up
13802s	let me go edit it real quick one second
13805s	one second
13807s	in all seriousness I'm incredibly
13809s	excited for this very next set as we go
13811s	into game one of this loser semis uh it
13815s	is going to be on it looks as though
13818s	we're going to uh I'm blinking right now
13820s	sky Arena no plots oh my goodness Sky
13822s	read and no Platz we are starting off
13824s	very very strong weekend snacks already
13825s	coming out on Superman but it's not a
13827s	contender at all because red team is
13829s	just going all in right now blue team
13831s	still sitting at some 30 and we are off
13834s	UV races yeah Phantom sticking with that
13837s	Superman by the way he started off with
13839s	Batman this entire bracket and is
13840s	obviously to go straight back over to
13842s	the soups and honestly this might be a
13844s	character like uh like comfortability
13846s	pick but it doesn't even matter because
13848s	meets again already gonna get that up
13850s	special into it up here near top of the
13852s	blast zone nervous are going for that
13853s	rage charge right there preoccupied with
13855s	Kieran and gonna come down with some
13857s	five stacks of weekend off the rage but
13860s	does not matter gonna get another up
13862s	there and keep it Flying Blue Team off
13864s	to a hell of a start right now Sharpie
13866s	wow wow amazingly good start here for uh
13871s	literally Phantom as well as mitsuki
13875s	here and one of the things that I'm
13876s	really noticing a lot of right now for
13879s	Kenyan and urban door is that they're
13880s	really not able to get some beats or
13883s	specifically their their skateboards on
13885s	Arya right now to go ahead and secure
13887s	some of these Knockouts right now look
13888s	at the way that Arya was able to make
13889s	something out of that stun on Jake right
13892s	now immediately into a knockout and that
13895s	is what's keeping blue team right here
13897s	at Advantage another one on Jake wasn't
13899s	able to make anything from it but
13900s	because they were able to separate the
13902s	Shaggy and the Jake there they were able
13904s	to cure that knockout which made a very
13907s	very quick match for them there I cannot
13912s	believe that Phantom and mitsuki are
13914s	currently up 1-0 over urbandoor and
13917s	Kieran right now and even though we may
13920s	not have necessarily seen the amount of
13922s	super work that we would have liked to
13923s	see from them there but like look at the
13926s	way that Arya is able to go ahead and
13927s	get these stuns not off this knockout
13929s	but the very next one I believe is the
13931s	one where she actually manages to get
13933s	this done and immediately goes in for
13935s	the for for blood after it oh no this is
13938s	just a normal knockout but here on this
13940s	final one we're watching stun's Galore
13942s	gets the stun on to Jake immediately
13946s	starts focusing on the final Contender
13949s	of Shaggy and gets that knockout and
13951s	that's kind of what secured blue team a
13953s	good point they wanted to be in these
13955s	one-on-ones because they they knew they
13956s	were going to win them and then it
13957s	became a 2V1 blue team starting off very
13960s	very strong here Phantom showing up and
13963s	showing out
13965s	saying blue team started off strong as
13967s	such an understatement they absolutely
13970s	demolished red team there at the very
13973s	beginning and just completely shut down
13975s	anything they were going with I feel
13977s	like they just kind of cranked that up
13978s	to 11 the entire game and they just
13980s	didn't really I feel like Curious just
13982s	weren't ready for Phantom and mitsuki in
13984s	there that I feel like they've been
13985s	traveling so long I do want to point out
13988s	that kyrian Urban World lost their very
13990s	first set today in top 16 yeah and have
13992s	done the demons climb down in the Lower
13995s	Side of bracket winning set after set
13997s	after a set keeping that fire alive but
13999s	I feel like you can't keep winning
14001s	forever man that fuel might be a little
14003s	low they gotta gets something shaken up
14004s	to try to compete against the Superman
14006s	and Aria team combo
14008s	for sure I'm really not thinking that
14012s	there there's anything wrong
14013s	specifically with their team inside of
14014s	this matchup I really think it's just a
14016s	coordination issue I really think it's
14018s	just a comfort level issue I don't think
14020s	stages perks or really even a character
14023s	change here is going to stop the way
14025s	that they're performing against Phantom
14028s	and mitsuki I really think it's just a
14029s	tree fort of an issue you feel me austie
14032s	uh maybe I mean the thing is I'm not
14034s	shocked at all the curion and urban door
14036s	have been known to counterpact a
14038s	counterpicked unorthodox stages because
14040s	this is the type of stuff that can
14041s	happen
14043s	Sharpie the bottom of the blossoms are
14046s	so close on this stage and that's why
14048s	you saw that happen look at that all
14049s	right almost fanciful almost died at
14051s	zero because of a weird exchange off of
14054s	that oh special what a start first 15
14056s	seconds into the map and they eventually
14059s	just go blasting off again
14062s	that was huge for red team when we were
14064s	talking about momentum changes that's
14066s	almost exactly what you want to see
14068s	going into this next match Now red team
14070s	is at a very high percentages but
14072s	luckily because of how high the ceilings
14074s	are on Freeport they have a lot more
14076s	space to just go up there and kind of
14077s	stall out a little bit go ahead and take
14079s	a little bit of time to get up that rage
14080s	get up some more of their cooldowns and
14083s	go back into it Jake did pay for that
14084s	with a stock but still we're looking at
14086s	renty right now be at a very very good
14088s	Advantage State especially since Arya is
14090s	sitting over there at 121. if they do
14092s	get a double stun off they could be
14094s	looking at a bit of an issue against the
14097s	blue team but I do not see red team
14099s	coming out at this Advantage date
14101s	anytime soon still has done look at that
14103s	look at that red team is literally one
14105s	stop away from Victory right now
14107s	literally Phantom and mitsu are shaken
14110s	they are quaking they are worried and
14114s	they have to be because right here on
14115s	three four Jake is at home Jake says I
14118s	have a wife and kids to get to I am a
14120s	family man and you will not be keeping
14123s	me a second here longer than I need to
14125s	one one is currently the school Kenyan
14127s	and urban moving into very dangerous
14131s	tied up territory right now the momentum
14133s	Swift so so quickly moved onto the red
14138s	team's team uh well side there Aussie
14141s	can we talk about that a little bit yeah
14143s	I mean literally what happened there at
14145s	the very beginning is that blue team was
14148s	just doing a unfortunate job trying to
14150s	recover from this there was actually a
14152s	moment where Phantom was actually
14153s	getting spite of like he was off stage
14156s	and ran out of resources so he just
14158s	ended up asking because he went off a
14159s	little bit too hard and then kyrian got
14161s	another Cider at the very end against
14163s	mitsuke and it managed to just like shut
14165s	her down as well on top of that so there
14167s	was just a lot of struggle busting
14169s	coming from Blue Team I wonder if it was
14170s	because of the stage pick in general but
14171s	that's okay because they ended up
14173s	winning game number one for the rest of
14175s	the set they do have counterpick
14176s	advantage in terms of how many stages
14177s	they get a pick for the rest of the set
14180s	it's it's really important as well I
14182s	don't expect us to see tree for it very
14184s	much inside of the set but it was an
14186s	important an important call out there
14188s	especially because of just I think
14190s	Comfort level especially for Kenyan and
14193s	um and uh Urban there you know it it it
14196s	it definitely played out and played uh
14199s	to their advantage inside of that set
14201s	yeah so now we're gonna see where we're
14203s	gonna be going for game number three
14204s	because you got to remember the game
14205s	number one was on sky Arena which is a
14207s	pretty good state for both teams on it
14209s	and Phantom of mitsu can ran a monk on
14211s	that stage then they got taken to
14212s	somewhere a little bit more
14213s	uncomfortable like treefort which has
14215s	been a very popular counter pick for
14216s	carrying in urban or to be able to go
14218s	for and kind of Shake Up The Meta a
14220s	little and be like hey you know you guys
14221s	have you been practicing on the stage no
14222s	bet we're taking you there and managed
14224s	to get some really early Knockouts with
14226s	the spikes you got to remember what
14227s	makes Street Fort a good stage for the
14229s	likes of Shaggy and Jake and as well as
14232s	chromelons on top of that is the blast
14233s	ones are so close to the bottom and they
14235s	have tons of great spiking tools where
14238s	Arias and Superman's are not as good
14240s	Arya does have a really good Spike
14241s	because she has the ability to charge it
14243s	while maneuvering but Superman's spikes
14245s	aren't as strong unless you're going for
14246s	like a down attack or you manage to
14248s	recover from down below catch them with
14250s	an up special then toss them downwards
14252s	but Shaggy and Jake have tons of tools
14254s	Shaggy's down here is a big open hitbox
14257s	to catch someone and Jake can go for a
14259s	downward angled side air or the
14261s	skateboard moving now we're going over
14262s	straight back to Skyrim but this time
14264s	we're adding in some platforms to give
14266s	them some more verticality this is going
14267s	to work out beautifully specifically for
14269s	mitsukin's Arya I'm gonna be able to go
14271s	off that top of the platform and try to
14272s	ladder them up to the top being able to
14274s	have that platform to help reset your
14276s	resources to continue it is going to be
14278s	extremely good for them but the problem
14280s	is right now is that Phantoms used to be
14282s	taking a little bit too much damage
14283s	already at 94 into this game
14286s	wow good punish on that stun wasn't able
14289s	unfortunately get a little bit more than
14290s	20 on it but it was a very smart moment
14293s	to go ahead and interrupt immediately
14294s	after that whiffstone by Arya there me
14296s	too uh uncharacteristically dropping
14298s	that wasn't expecting to see it
14300s	immediately punished that quickly or
14302s	that early and also in addition I'm not
14305s	seeing as much follow-up as I'd like to
14306s	see on some of these Jake Knockouts here
14308s	uh it it it's it's a little bit
14310s	uncharacteristic of Phantom and mitsu I
14311s	want to say especially as I've been
14313s	watching a lot of their play throughout
14314s	this tournament
14315s	um I just don't know what's going on you
14318s	know it's it's it's really somewhat just
14321s	uncharacteristic of Phantom and metoo
14323s	here
14324s	yeah here they go with senior the
14326s	Phantom on the bottom of the blast zone
14328s	trying to get back on 148 and 150 on
14331s	mitsuki needs to get living for an
14332s	extremely long time but not Phantom by
14335s	that uppercut cannot get the official in
14338s	the upper because they feel like he's
14339s	had too much damage that's okay they're
14340s	gonna clean up shop with the cider
14342s	action but that gave every door plenty
14343s	of time to charge up that Ridge there's
14345s	the double swing coming on to Urban door
14347s	the stretchy body coming into this uh
14349s	shut down needs to get it now girian
14351s	finally going down two to one time
14353s	thousand down base he'll spend price of
14355s	Earthly all the way down there gets the
14357s	downer of the rise of the six oval's got
14358s	a second stuck on top that against
14360s	mitsukin but unfortunately got back onto
14362s	the stage blue team is still in this
14364s	fight
14365s	it's it's that was very dangerous that
14369s	was incredibly dangerous there for blue
14371s	team and look at those that that that
14373s	knockout right there was incredibly
14375s	important with these stocks with these
14377s	stocks literally not baton
14379s	what I think oh bro yeah just the taunt
14384s	literally shutting down the match there
14386s	was so funny but what we're looking at
14388s	right now is a very dangerous situation
14390s	whenever you watch them go off the map
14392s	like that and immediately gets done
14394s	immediately on that incoming Edge
14396s	guarding it's really really dangerous
14398s	for that stun team and the way that
14400s	they're stuck inside that Vortex right
14402s	now we're looking at a Jake at 73 out of
14404s	Shaggy with 57 but that is nothing
14406s	because Superman has grabs that can
14409s	secure a knockout immediately at 60 they
14412s	are in very dangerous territory and all
14414s	Superman has to do is go up and grab
14416s	them but we've only seen a singular
14418s	Superman grab knockout in this entire
14420s	tournament not the set the entire
14422s	tournament so it's going to be really
14424s	interesting to see if Phantom has an
14425s	opportunity to go for one
14428s	but unfortunately not gonna be able to
14431s	find their Mark Urban door again running
14434s	off to the left side gets another down
14437s	air and now finding themselves facing a
14439s	potential set match win here two to one
14443s	lead one game away from carrying
14445s	themselves a spot and losers finals and
14447s	I feel like history is repeating itself
14448s	from N.A East literally we had the same
14450s	exact thing with a team climbing all the
14452s	way from losing round one actually
14454s	getting dequeued with swervin wavy they
14457s	got dq'd out of winners round one and
14459s	made it all the way to Grand finals and
14461s	ended up getting second place finish but
14463s	now we're seeing Urban on carry on who
14465s	lost their round one now on the verge of
14467s	her injury losers files it's like wow
14469s	it's like a Deja Vu moment remember am I
14471s	right for sure for sure it's it's really
14474s	nice to see as well because it shows
14476s	that the team is focused on completing
14479s	any obstacle in front of them that they
14481s	are coming here with the intention of
14483s	winning and like we saw inside the
14484s	previous match where they were playing
14486s	against one of the better teams inside
14488s	of here I believe they were playing it's
14490s	um who who was it it was a paradox and
14493s	Kobe one of the teams that had literally
14495s	only lost one chin had been literally
14497s	three owing the entire remainder of it
14499s	they are they were also I believe First
14501s	seed inside of this tournament which
14503s	goes to show you how much Urban and
14505s	Canyon are really about taking this
14508s	whole thing they are not playing this
14509s	game the same way everyone else is
14511s	playing this game which is to say
14513s	they're not just playing to win they're
14515s	playing to dominate they want that rags
14517s	to Rich a storyline and they are working
14519s	for it austie yeah and they're it's
14522s	succeeding that's I think that's the
14523s	thing that's most important they're
14525s	making this work that game one kind of
14527s	shook them a little bit but they're just
14528s	like okay let's change up the pace
14529s	taking the tree for it mess with their
14531s	heads a little bit and they're getting a
14532s	lot of mileage out of these downers I
14534s	would say there's an MVP it's definitely
14535s	Urban or bro because he just he keeps
14537s	jumping out of there he gets it down
14539s	there at super low damage even though
14541s	Downer doesn't kill themselves he just
14543s	goes down there and tries to finish off
14545s	the KO with the Nair on top of it so the
14548s	whole time is just making it so easy for
14550s	them to net these really super duper
14552s	early chaos off of the bottom so now
14554s	it's up to Phantom and mitsukin to
14557s	figure out where they're gonna take them
14559s	next and try to avoid those situations
14561s	it they've been really good with counter
14564s	picks so far and losing Counterpoint
14566s	Advantage this early inside of the set
14568s	is somewhat dangerous
14570s	um it's it's really hard to come back
14573s	especially when you're behind and have
14575s	to continue counter picking to the point
14577s	that you basically lose sky Arena Platts
14579s	I super duper agree with I really do
14581s	like it like you said before the
14582s	verticality on it is beautiful and you
14585s	also get to recover with really really
14587s	aggressive startups like this which is
14588s	exactly what Arya wants she wants them
14590s	both to be mapped up close together so
14593s	she can go ahead and get that done and
14594s	get a double knockout if possible but it
14596s	doesn't look like we're going to be
14597s	seeing any Knockouts anytime soon we are
14599s	seeing Jake at 79 we're seeing Shaggy
14601s	get that down here which does affect
14603s	both Arya and Superman and we're just
14605s	kind of seeing them play around trying
14606s	to get Advantage State on this platform
14608s	and also get as much pressure as
14610s	possible to knock them off the platform
14612s	if possible
14613s	our seeing a situation where kirian's
14615s	off stage managed to retaliate with the
14617s	side air turns the tables on the red
14618s	team now has a little bit of stage
14620s	control here where they keep continuing
14621s	to push off blue team look at this
14623s	conversion chasing after mitsukin not
14625s	gonna be able to like hang in there
14626s	continues to come back and say just kind
14628s	of rollercoasting this match are they
14630s	going back and forth who's getting sent
14631s	flying but the first point going over to
14633s	Red team's second point also going to
14635s	Red Team
14636s	you know they're really happy to just
14638s	rack up damage as needed because red
14640s	team is comfortable in their ability to
14642s	trade as long as they trade first look
14644s	at this look at this Shaggy has
14645s	literally no fear sitting there at 122
14647s	off stage very few recovery options left
14650s	does touch stage gets back all those
14652s	recovery options but the way that he was
14654s	able to move even while at 122 now at
14657s	148 good Dodge by The Shaggy there no
14661s	counter play to go ahead and stop on
14662s	that uh on that literally empowered
14665s	charge up but look at the way Superman's
14667s	trying to command the attention again
14669s	not able to get anything off of that
14670s	Jackie finally flies at 159 but look at
14673s	the way that arya's already at 108 Arya
14676s	is in dangerous territory literally one
14678s	knock out away
14687s	is the fact that Arya consistently saves
14691s	that Face-Off for the all-important
14693s	double Superman taunty ending which I
14695s	think we can both agree is the most
14697s	important part of any game with an Aryan
14699s	Superman Aussie
14701s	yeah I mean there was a lot of
14702s	situations where Phantom could have
14704s	gotten a narrow KO really early on
14706s	against herbedor unfortunately couldn't
14708s	get that third swing on it to get that
14709s	early on KO so managed to mess that up a
14713s	little bit and then second off there's a
14715s	second opportunity right at the very end
14716s	where Phantom found him in a but why
14718s	they call the Superman mode where
14720s	Superman puts you into this very scary
14722s	situation near the horizontal part of
14724s	the blast zone right here that Center
14726s	started off everything this is what
14727s	Superman's known for especially before
14729s	the Nerfs came to him is that he's
14731s	really really good at carrying
14733s	characters across the map Shaggy can do
14735s	the exact same thing but we're seeing
14736s	this come out more in in fruition from
14739s	Bantam that's finally going to be blue
14740s	team evening up the score making it two
14742s	to two and Sharpie I gotta ask you where
14745s	do you think they're gonna be taking
14745s	them for game number five
14747s	you know if I were a betting woman which
14750s	I am as you know and I can't I do know
14752s	it's a problem
14753s	we need to talk about that afterwards
14755s	I'm worried for you
14757s	I I do think that we may actually see a
14761s	tree fort counterpick again
14762s	um do I think there's a high likelihood
14765s	of it no do I think it is in a higher
14768s	probability than previously inside of
14770s	the set yes I do
14772s	um unorthodox stages I think have really
14774s	shown up a lot inside of these EU
14777s	matchups to the point that like
14778s	truthfully I'm not 100 certain where
14780s	we're going it's either it's either
14782s	treefort or it's going to be trophy's
14783s	Edge
14784s	um and listening to the music being very
14787s	patient to kind of vamp a little bit
14789s	more I'm trying here to see whether or
14793s	not we're going to get trophy's Edge
14795s	whether or not we're going to get tree
14797s	fort or whether or not we're going to
14799s	get the all-important mansions with no
14802s	ceiling it sounds as though we are
14805s	actively going to go over to
14809s	yeah no don't don't play with don't play
14813s	with my casting understanding and
14815s	knowledge austie I know I know you know
14819s	what I mean
14820s	yeah I mean I would have guessed the
14822s	exact same thing having this red team
14823s	they literally picked it last time they
14825s	worked out very well here there's
14826s	actually a really early care that Urban
14828s	or could have gone for there near the
14830s	edge of the stage if you notice to pay
14831s	attention that they're gonna be able to
14832s	carry them all the way to the top it
14834s	gets a second one on top that all
14835s	because Phantom's going for the Batman
14837s	counterpick having this ability to get
14839s	in there and speed up things and get a
14841s	lot of work coming in and now all of a
14842s	sudden red team had this big lead in
14845s	this whole set and that was like
14846s	completely flipping from underneath
14848s	their feet
14849s	oh for sure look at that immediate
14852s	response right there want to go ahead
14854s	and get that trade if they can
14856s	especially and I really respect the way
14858s	that red team is looking out and is very
14860s	aware of when they can go ahead and get
14862s	these Knockouts the minute that they
14863s	even chance that there's a cooldown
14865s	available for them Jake is immediately
14867s	on them and Shaggy taking any
14868s	opportunity to go ahead and charge up
14870s	immediately met with Arya every single
14872s	time Shaggy's trying to charge Arya
14873s	always happens to be thrown there or
14876s	happens to be sitting right there has to
14877s	be very careful right now good awareness
14880s	by the red team right there they're one
14882s	stock away from Victory they're one
14884s	stock away from winning this entire set
14886s	right now Aussie they weren't careful
14888s	enough they're on the edge because they
14889s	got the down air in the downward space
14891s	cider gonna be able to try to get that
14893s	uppercut on top of them both players
14894s	from red team and triple digits 127 137
14897s	143 gonna charge the range for over door
14900s	at the top of the blast so the scoring
14901s	lead is in favor of red team but look at
14903s	these numbers bro they are two fresh
14904s	stocks that's one did you see to get
14906s	this Urban girl dad still and that's
14907s	gonna be a phantomime taking the set
14910s	getting it a 3-2 Victory and move on to
14913s	losers files and stop being carrying
14915s	ergador in their losers tracks making
14917s	the Finish down at a fourth place finish
14921s	here today at the EU finals for fall
14923s	Showdown
14924s	very strong showing by Kieran and urban
14928s	door there I really appreciated watching
14930s	them play throughout the entirety of the
14932s	set one of the things that I think
14933s	Phantom amitsu did very well inside this
14935s	very last set is they personally I just
14937s	think they didn't give up getting the
14939s	advantage very early as I have the match
14940s	and maintaining that energy has been
14942s	incredibly difficult for them at the
14943s	start of the set and somehow they were
14945s	able to eke it out by the end being able
14948s	to not necessarily have to focus on
14950s	punishing some of these Shaggy Knockouts
14951s	as much as they were inside of the early
14953s	parts of the set but more focusing on
14955s	what they could get immediately and the
14958s	double taunt ending with Batman I think
14961s	basically clutched them a win inside of
14963s	that loser semi set moving them up into
14966s	losers finals against two centp and MJ
14969s	which will be the very next set that we
14971s	will see inside of this eu's finals for
14974s	multiverses and before we dive into
14976s	losers finals we got to give it up to
14978s	cure it in urban or man they again I
14979s	cannot stress enough they lost that
14981s	first round in Winner's side and climbed
14984s	through this bracket they defeated Joe
14986s	suit and Eric they defeated OG San and
14988s	oddsui beat psycho and Mac Matt who was
14990s	a first place finisher for the first EU
14992s	open mind juice that was a huge upset
14994s	managed to take out paradise and EOS
14996s	Kobe and finally met their makers to
14999s	phanto and mitsu and they almost got
15000s	that win they almost found themselves in
15002s	losers finals but I think they
15003s	counterpicked a Batman on top of just
15005s	like believing themselves and like
15007s	having that energy at the beginning I
15008s	think literally running Superman the
15010s	first four games and getting the
15012s	opponents adapting to that Superman then
15014s	busting out the Batman this Speedy
15016s	Gonzalez of a character out of nowhere
15018s	just coming in and just like completely
15021s	interrupting any sort of flow plan they
15023s	got used to and just rushing them down
15025s	like I feel like they just couldn't they
15027s	didn't have enough time to adapt it they
15028s	had one more game to play with to adapt
15030s	that Batman maybe the stories would have
15031s	been a little bit different but they
15032s	purposely saved the Batman counter pick
15034s	for when it was true 4 on game number
15036s	five so it's gonna stop them with a
15039s	fourth place finish and hey you're a top
15040s	four team in all of Europe so it's
15042s	nothing to shy away from as we're gonna
15044s	dive here into losers finals next and
15046s	folks just want to let you know if
15047s	you've been liking the stream so far and
15049s	liking everything about the streams you
15050s	want to keep up to date with future

15056s	a little bit of a follow and you'll find
15058s	out all the competitive matches in all
15060s	competitions whatsoever whether it's
15061s	like a big sixty thousand dollar circuit

15065s	land to help support your locals if
15067s	they're going to be retweeting and
15069s	tweeting out all of those streams to
15070s	give you more and more competitive
15072s	action because guys this game is still
15074s	in its infancy we still got much more
15076s	coming in the future so go ahead and
15078s	give them a little bit of a follow
15080s	in addition to not only being the
15082s	contender for Game of the Year from the
15083s	game awards this game also has a very
15085s	robust major regional and local scene I
15088s	myself am partial to the Xanadu monthly
15091s	locals that happen for multiverses where
15093s	we have talent like mirror man sometimes
15095s	we have Z come out sometimes we even
15098s	have amazing players like uh Harley also
15101s	as well come out so there's a lot of
15103s	talent inside of local areas and you
15105s	won't know about it unless you follow
15107s	twitter.com MBS gaming Aussie do you
15110s	actually have some locals that you run
15112s	or that you're a big fan of as well
15114s	why are you asking me this when you
15116s	already told you that answer Sharpie
15118s	it's all about that
15121s	I'm letting you plug
15123s	New York City local twitch.tv Austin
15126s	Lavista every Mondays you're gonna see
15128s	some local players going on there 1v1
15129s	action the best players in New York City
15131s	coming out there such as like go Pokey
15133s	Wonder Bugsby and more coming at you
15136s	live also on top of that we've got uh
15139s	another 1v1 tournament that I like for
15141s	Ajax got to plug out ajax's stream
15142s	Twitter TV slash Ajax underscore HQ to
15145s	find out every Wednesday for the local
15147s	going on there over in Connecticut The
15149s	Vortex coming in clutch and also we got
15152s	the Make It Rain dog bi-weekly online
15154s	tournament that's hosted by PFG that's
15156s	going to be happening every other Monday
15158s	or whenever the days they just ended up
15159s	ending and I believe the next one coming
15161s	up is literally tomorrow it's going to
15162s	be a ones tournament it won't be one and
15164s	speaking of ones we just had a big one
15165s	coming up from yesterday's Sharpie Apex
15167s	just happened on the VG boot camp 2
15169s	channel on top of that I show you all
15171s	the competitive action coming your way
15173s	for multiverses there's tons of
15175s	tournaments coming whether it's ones
15177s	whether it's twos so much and more on
15181s	the horizon for multiverses in addition
15184s	Apex 2022 Not only was in a fantastic
15187s	showing for multiverses they also had a
15189s	750 pot courtesy of myself and I'm very
15192s	excited to be doing so many other
15195s	projects along with other Ms ambassadors
15197s	including Ajax including infinity and
15200s	even including yourself further on in
15202s	the future of this game now as we go
15204s	into the very next set of MJ with two
15206s	centp up against uh I believe it's gonna
15210s	be Phantom and mitsuki inside of this
15213s	loser's finals what do you think we are
15216s	going to see for the very first stage
15217s	here I know it's been a contentious
15219s	Point throughout the entirety here but I
15221s	can honestly say I don't think it's
15222s	going to be true for it and I don't
15223s	think it's going to be Mansion
15225s	what says you think it's going to be
15227s	Sharpie because I already know what
15228s	sinjin's probably going to go to but hey
15230s	you know what the the team that was
15232s	actually picking the unorthodox stages
15234s	is now out of the tournament so I could
15235s	definitely sense this going back to
15237s	something more but then again I guess to
15239s	simpi and MJ pick some really weird
15241s	stages for winners finals if you recall
15243s	we Scooby's mansion with roof twice
15245s	followed by uh cromulons for game number
15247s	three and so it was kind of some weird
15250s	counter picks that they're trying to do
15251s	against the likes of risking and SJP who
15254s	were playing more of a you know a a
15255s	zoner cob which was like rain dog and
15258s	Velma together so now that you're up
15260s	against a rushed down comp completely
15262s	different story everything's up for
15264s	grabs here so I can send them I wanted
15266s	to pick a more Comfort stage like sky
15268s	Arena with no plats
15270s	exactly like sky Arena no Platz and you
15272s	know austie as much as I love to play
15275s	Devil's Advocate and one of the brazy
15278s	people oz in terms of this commentator
15280s	Duo I have to agree with you I do think
15282s	actually in my heart of hearts it's
15284s	going to be Sky read of flats and I can
15285s	say that now that I've seen a sufficient
15287s	amount of scoopy's mansion truthfully
15289s	you know it's it's like I have a quota
15290s	it's like literally if I don't see
15292s	Scooby's Mansion a certain amount of
15294s	games then literally I'm unfulfilled as
15296s	a person as a human being and so when I
15298s	get that tournament I'm like
15309s	what a depressing existence am I right
15311s	guys
15313s	you know one of the things I really do
15315s	appreciate about multiverses is the
15318s	competitive design of every single stage
15320s	in addition to the ability to be able to
15322s	turn hazards on and off which I think
15324s	makes a lot of the stages a lot more
15326s	tournament viable do you think we're
15327s	actually going to be seeing a double
15329s	Batman Arya comp against each other here
15331s	are we going to see mirrors
15333s	uh I wouldn't be shocked I think that is
15335s	what we're gonna see because that's like
15336s	the players these guys play Phantom does
15338s	obviously have that Superman which we
15340s	saw a lot of today especially in that
15341s	previous set but two sentient MJ have
15344s	played primarily Arya and Batman this
15346s	entire tournament in this entire circuit
15347s	so we have not seen them swap off of
15349s	that team comp literally at all this
15351s	entire broadcast as well as the past one
15353s	on top of that so not shocked that we're
15355s	seeing the exact mirror match I don't
15357s	think Phantom is going to try to go over
15358s	the Superman because Superman kind of
15359s	struggle against the likes of Batman in
15361s	general because if you put that perk on
15363s	that allows you to be able to go through
15364s	Shields it could be a little bit
15366s	dangerous oh it looks like we have a
15367s	little bit of controller issue there for
15368s	Phantom but I think we kind of respected
15370s	it and now they're going right into the
15371s	game okay there we go
15372s	yeah yeah going straight into it here uh
15375s	we already got weekend Stacks
15376s	immediately we did get the stun off on
15378s	Batman wasn't able to get a lot of
15380s	conversion just another quick little 13
15381s	off of that into gravels and we're
15383s	seeing a couple of upstairs coming up
15386s	um a lot of just CPS not really
15389s	connecting with anything just trying to
15390s	seal them out stop them from approaching
15392s	a certain way and it really does look a
15395s	lot like you're just trying to establish
15397s	damage and they're happy to go ahead and
15398s	go to these little skirmishes as long as
15400s	they come out with less damage than
15402s	their opponent took
15404s	yeah and I think that's how you're going
15405s	to be able to take that win right just
15407s	try to not get hit but right now it's
15409s	looking incredibly even currently you're
15411s	gonna notice that mitsukin already at
15412s	131 on the edge of the stage Phantom
15415s	just gonna go for that die kick back on
15416s	but unfortunately uppercut coming back
15418s	in gets a second one on top that has to
15419s	turn the tables back on him and now
15421s	we're seeing ourselves go stock for
15423s	stock punishing the punishing and now
15425s	we're seeing yet another one come out
15426s	here get it up there good survivability
15428s	good kbi coming out from to sempi to be
15431s	able to live a little bit longer
15432s	connects the downer and somehow being
15433s	able to survive from that you gotta
15435s	remember that both of these teams are
15436s	purely glass Cannon Sharpie
15439s	yeah no and you're really showing it I'm
15441s	seeing Arya just go for every single
15443s	down air both Arias both two Senpai and
15446s	mitsu King and uh it's really
15447s	interesting as well because me too
15448s	actually got the last knockout off the
15450s	down air on too Senpai like you said
15452s	they are glass Cannon it is going to be
15454s	very very dangerous
15458s	and that's it so what we're seeing right
15462s	now is just red team try to secure an
15463s	early knockout opportunity so that they
15465s	can go ahead and rack up some free
15467s	damage to free weekend snacks from that
15470s	smoke screen right now and red team and
15472s	blue team both looking at really low
15473s	percentages very next stop does win this
15476s	first match
15477s	yeah an incredible first game coming out
15478s	look at the chase coming from MJ trying
15481s	to catch him near the top unfortunately
15483s	not gonna come out in the way he wants
15485s	it to as we're going to continue this
15487s	Onslaught trying to get the follow-ups
15488s	with the up special two stepping barely
15490s	being able to survive that a blue team
15491s	struggling to get any sort of stage
15492s	control they're just kind of going back
15494s	and forth right now in such a like up
15496s	and down tug of war between these two
15498s	teams blue team has a little bit of
15499s	stage control pushes red team back up
15501s	force him to go for three cover Ops to
15503s	go for the grappling gun tries to get
15504s	the uppercut but the dash is gonna be
15505s	able to go right through that super
15506s	punch and try to get some more actions
15508s	we're gonna double jumping again trying
15510s	to avoid bullet team in a bad position
15511s	how are they Landing another uppercut
15513s	coming off the Phantom just one more to
15516s	seal the deal and that's gonna be game
15517s	one going to Red Team Phantom and
15519s	mitsukin
15521s	now what I think really ultimately
15524s	quenched out the wind for red team there
15526s	is I think further as we got into the
15528s	set while the first couple of stocks did
15530s	somewhat seem chaotic to be just
15532s	brutally honest with you it wasn't a lot
15535s	of I want to say like focused attention
15538s	it was more of just like I'm going to
15539s	hit you we're going to get this damage
15540s	on you and then we're securing The
15541s	Knockout I actually feel as though as we
15543s	went later on into that past match there
15546s	Phantom and metoo actually took a little
15548s	bit more of a passive approach on that
15550s	final stock because they were completely
15552s	refreshed after that last knockout they
15555s	were able to go ahead and be a little
15557s	bit more cohesive be a little bit more
15558s	comfortable and be a little bit more
15560s	careful about the way that they
15562s	approached you can see right here as
15563s	soon as that as soon as that smokes that
15565s	comes out we start seeing weekend sex go
15567s	out and then look at the way they
15568s	approach here we see the up special by
15571s	Batman not just once but twice and while
15573s	Batman is going in for that up special
15575s	arya's actually covering it and taking
15577s	more of a defensive path which is not
15579s	necessarily something that we saw
15580s	reflected on Two sempe And MJ's team on
15583s	that final stock and that's ultimately
15585s	what one blue team I'm sorry red team
15587s	that very first match inside of that set
15589s	and it's instrumental that they're able
15591s	to maintain that ability to immediately
15594s	turn from incredibly incredibly
15596s	aggressive energy to a little bit more
15598s	passive especially as the stocks become
15600s	a lot more important inside of this set
15603s	and what's also going to be interesting
15604s	is that stage counter picks are not
15606s	going to play that big of an importance
15607s	anymore because it is a pure mirror
15609s	match right Batman Ark versus Batman
15610s	Arya No One's Gonna Get The Edge up on
15613s	anyone so at the end of the day it's
15615s	just going to turn into like a comfort
15616s	pick and where they feel comfortable
15617s	fighting on so I would not be shocked
15619s	this entire set plays out on Skyrim
15620s	purely because of it being a mirror
15622s	match it was a very close set mind dude
15624s	that first game what number one that
15625s	could have gone either way they were
15627s	just constantly going back and forth in
15629s	this gigantic tug of war I felt like I
15631s	was playing a mini game there for a
15632s	second looking at houses just punishing
15634s	the punish you know what I'm saying like
15635s	just constantly going up into the air it
15637s	was almost hard to keep track of
15639s	for sure and you know I think uh
15642s	especially inside of 2v2s the game moves
15644s	so quickly but it's really just a
15646s	testament to the player's skill and
15648s	understanding of how to read how quickly
15650s	everything is happening it's almost
15651s	become second nature when you're playing
15653s	this game as you know Aussie because you
15655s	are currently playing the game and
15657s	ranked and doing relatively well if I
15659s	remember are you currently up in gold
15661s	uh I'm gold three
15663s	let's go we're up there you know it's
15666s	gone up there you know we're trying to
15667s	play I wish I had more time to play but
15669s	I'm too busy casting this game over here
15671s	at the fall show and I'm having a blast
15673s	doing it honestly I got that ranked in
15675s	the background I might be playing it
15676s	while I'm casting no you know no no one
15677s	no one call out shots or anything but
15679s	here we go sky Arena no plots yet again
15682s	red team coming back in and trying to
15684s	just keep Bluetooth literally they're
15686s	just going they're just going back and
15687s	forth I cannot stress this enough that
15689s	they're just like one team is on the
15690s	right but there's a big pick coming up
15692s	from two sempi getting a cider off the
15694s	top of the screen on the right side 60
15696s	damage against Phantom
15698s	for sure very very early knockout also a
15702s	very important knockout for Tucson p and
15704s	MJ here because especially as we've seen
15706s	previously said it comes down to having
15708s	that stock advantage and having that
15710s	damage Advantage especially in somewhat
15712s	of a mirror match against Phantom and
15713s	mitsu um I'm already watching a very
15716s	distinct amount of change and the way
15719s	that too simply and MJ are approaching
15721s	against Phantom and me too they appear
15723s	to be moving a lot more cohesively a lot
15726s	more methodically and a lot slower
15728s	specifically we're not getting into as
15730s	many skirmishes as before where they are
15732s	just all inside of The Fray all just
15734s	playing kind of willy-nilly and just
15736s	throwing anything out we're seeing a lot
15737s	more thought out conversions and a lot
15740s	more thought out fight and skirmishes
15743s	here and one thing they're gonna need to
15745s	think a little bit more about is two
15746s	sempi going for these side airs because
15748s	there's an opportunity there where we
15750s	saw attack Decay was on it that attack
15752s	was not the kid that would have been two
15753s	points already for The Blue Team a long
15755s	time ago Phantom and mitsu game were
15756s	both caught by it because of the attack
15758s	Decay they were able to both Dash cancel
15759s	out of it when you're the opponent on
15761s	the receiving end of an attack decayed
15763s	move you actually gain the ability to
15765s	dash cancel the hitstone really early on
15767s	in order to escape the blast zone so
15769s	it's very important to make sure you're
15771s	not decaying your attacks like just like
15772s	that using the up here that was
15773s	undecained another one coming out I'm
15775s	not even sure what happened both Batmans
15777s	were grappling hooking each other from
15778s	opposite sides of the stage and now blue
15780s	team is on the bridge of taking this
15781s	game Sharpie
15782s	that was a really funny exchange I'm
15784s	really excited to see that in the
15786s	replays but as we go into this possible
15788s	final stock here buy blue team beautiful
15790s	play there does get The Knockout on to
15794s	the Batman specifically Phantom on that
15797s	side and it does move to simpi and NJ
15800s	onto the board now I believe it is 1-1
15802s	in their favor
15805s	yeah one one tied Stitch control Advan a
15808s	stage uh counter pick Advantage going in
15810s	favor of phantom mintsum but again with
15812s	the pure mirror matched it doesn't
15813s	really matter too much it's all the
15815s	comfortability pick so with the top
15817s	score being now even with the backs
15819s	against their walls Now red team I have
15821s	to see how he's gonna be able to take
15822s	these next games in this race to three
15825s	bro two more games secure yourself a
15828s	spot and Grand finals to take down the
15831s	rain dog and Velma from risking and SJP
15833s	that was a weird exchange I still don't
15836s	even know what happened I still don't
15838s	know I I was about to say I was like
15839s	Aussie give me the next second because I
15841s	didn't it was good it was a grappling it
15843s	was a grappling hook into an uppercut
15844s	I'm pretty sure but like the smoke was
15846s	in the way they both did the exact same
15848s	time so one of them just kind of went
15849s	flying I think they both so what you do
15851s	as Batman grappling hook got buffed a
15853s	long time ago and makes it a little more
15854s	of a better move so a lot of Batman's
15856s	like to use grappling hook to close the
15858s	distance between them and their opponent
15860s	if you manage to catch their opponent
15861s	with said grappling hook you then
15862s	convert that into an uppercut and I feel
15864s	like both Batman's did the exact same
15866s	thing where they had the exact same
15868s	thing in mind where they both did the
15869s	grappling hook into each other and they
15871s	both went to the uppercut against each
15872s	other it just you know that was the one
15874s	that ended up winning and getting the KO
15876s	maybe it was a little bit faster maybe
15877s	it was even a trade smoke was kind of
15878s	blocking it a little bit but regardless
15880s	that's probably what happened
15882s	now do you think because as you know
15884s	obviously inside of mirror match
15885s	instances you're not really looking at a
15888s	huge Stout uh stage pick uh uh counter
15891s	pick advantage and you're not really
15892s	looking at perks disadvantage because
15894s	you're basically just playing the same
15896s	perks same style it really just comes
15898s	down like you said previously to comfort
15899s	uh do you think that the platforms will
15901s	have a large change on the way that
15903s	they'll play this round we're seeing the
15904s	exact same round start in this instance
15906s	actually yeah I mean you're gonna see it
15909s	right arya's gonna throw the knife
15910s	against their teammate to get that rage
15911s	buff for the teammate as well as
15912s	themselves and then also you're gonna
15914s	see Batman try to get into The Fray with
15915s	the grappling hook with the platform
15917s	specifically this is going to help both
15919s	teams obviously with laddering combos
15921s	gonna be able to get even closer to
15923s	verticality uh for Kos and just trying
15925s	to rack up damage bit by bit again
15927s	notice that uh good pickup from Phantom
15929s	recognizing that MJ's uh Boomerang was
15931s	right in front of them so he just broke
15933s	us I mean you've got to be able to do a
15934s	good follow-up from Michigan he had a
15936s	knife stuck on the opposing REO is able
15938s	to chase after them completely up to the
15940s	top and take away two senpies uh simply
15942s	his first stock
15944s	I really appreciated that first knockout
15947s	especially because it showed that
15950s	Phantom and metoo are really aware of
15952s	when they can follow up for The
15953s	Knockouts and when they're not
15954s	necessarily giving anything up there are
15956s	several times just inside this pass
15957s	engagement that we're seeing right here
15958s	literally where they can go ahead and
15960s	follow up on Arya they're choosing not
15961s	to because they'd much rather keep their
15963s	opponents or specifically their
15964s	teammates in a safe spot and whenever
15966s	you see that their teammates are
15967s	starting to struggle a little bit they
15969s	immediately get off that knockout and
15971s	get onto assisting their teammate it's a
15973s	completely different play style that I'm
15974s	not necessarily seeing being reflected
15976s	on two Senpai and MJS same this time I'm
15979s	seeing them just specifically go for
15981s	knockout opportunities they're happy to
15982s	take these 1v1 situations especially if
15984s	they get a knockout for it just like we
15985s	saw with that up special on Batman right
15987s	there
15988s	yeah I get called out by that cider
15991s	evening up the score look at this Chase
15992s	unfortunately two sempi was betting it
15994s	all with that chase because they were by
15996s	themselves one of the downsides of
15998s	arya's follow-up combo game is that when
15999s	she goes from the up special that combo
16001s	takes quite a while to be able to finish
16002s	off so while she's setting up for it the
16005s	enemy teammate could easily come in and
16006s	try to interrupt them which is exactly
16008s	what happened with Phantom getting in
16009s	there interrupting the combo and getting
16011s	a kill in the process now Phantom and
16013s	empty mitsukin already on the verge of
16015s	trying to get this final key open
16016s	unfortunately that's gonna be Phantom
16018s	falling meaning their maker up at the
16020s	top of the Blaster and now mitsukin has
16022s	to play the back line has to be play the
16024s	safe game play this uh tank stock roll
16026s	and try to play survivability for as
16028s	long as possible because they're at the
16030s	high damage but they're still going in
16031s	there and they're playing mad aggressive
16032s	starting it off with the Jazz into the
16034s	up special meanwhile other side of the
16036s	coin we've got a mad MJ trying to get
16041s	something going finally Finds Its back
16043s	with that uppercut and steals Victory
16045s	from red team
16047s	now you know watching this match Aussie
16050s	usually I'm very very vocal about one
16053s	team coming out on top of the other one
16054s	team not necessarily playing as well but
16056s	watching that match and even watching
16058s	through some of these replays they were
16060s	very very close instances every single
16063s	time it was almost a toss-up about which
16065s	team was going to come out on top
16067s	despite both teams having completely
16068s	different strategies as we saw several
16070s	times inside of the match Phantom and
16072s	metoo kind of chose to take a little bit
16074s	more of a passive role opting to go
16076s	ahead and to go in 1v1 situations with
16078s	the emphasis being on making sure that
16079s	their teammate was alive throughout the
16081s	entirety of it which resulted inside of
16083s	some of these early knockout situations
16084s	two Senpai and MJ didn't have any
16086s	reservations about that however they
16088s	were totally comfortable trading as long
16090s	as they got and secured a knockout they
16092s	did not care they would go into 1v1
16094s	situations or even 1v2 situations if
16096s	they thought they could get a knockout
16098s	and ultimately it paid off this time it
16100s	has not inside of the past but it did
16101s	this time and what it's really going to
16103s	be inside of the set is seeing which
16105s	strategy Works off better we're not
16107s	talking about different characters we're
16109s	not talking about different stages we're
16111s	not talking about different perks we're
16112s	talking about different play Styles
16114s	inside of this
16116s	map yeah and that's what's actually
16117s	what's coming into fruition man just
16120s	being able to change up everything and
16122s	try to put it all on the line to sempi
16125s	and MJ up two to one on the verge of
16128s	taking a trip back up to Grand finals to
16130s	get a grudge match against rizz King and
16132s	SJP again that's the team that sent them
16134s	down here to losers to begin with so you
16136s	know they're hungry for that rematch
16137s	style they got sent down here by a 3-0
16140s	mind you so that was like quite the uh
16142s	shocker to see so now we're seeing such
16144s	a close match it's all about which
16146s	Batman and Harley team is gonna face off
16148s	against the rather campy team of rain
16151s	dog and Velma let's jump into one more
16153s	game here changing the pace of the maps
16155s	going to trophy's Edge if you thought
16157s	those past couple of games are pretty
16159s	quick get a load of this bro like people
16161s	are going to be exploding at like 70 or
16164s	even 80 damage especially with that
16165s	platform what makes this stage very
16166s	volatile near the top is because the
16168s	platforms that give you that additional
16169s	resource to chase after you with a
16171s	slightly smaller ceiling than most
16173s	stages like sky Arena
16175s	it's going to really be super
16179s	advantageous for not just Arya who has
16181s	an incredibly easy time sticking to
16183s	characters but especially to Batman who
16185s	as you've talked about several times
16186s	throughout this bracket austie has
16187s	amazing verticality can follow up from
16189s	literally any percentage and that Dodge
16191s	was crucial there for a phantom But
16194s	ultimately still resulted in a knockout
16196s	because of the resources being lost look
16197s	at how early we're seeing we're only one
16199s	minute side of the game and there have
16201s	been two Knockouts in favor of the blue
16203s	team so far this is a really really
16206s	precarious situation for Phantom and
16207s	mits you can find themselves in even
16209s	with that knockout
16210s	it was all because of those team Synergy
16212s	combos the second one of them gets a hit
16214s	the other one follows it up and managed
16216s	to turn the tables back on him tied game
16218s	right now two to two as we're trying to
16220s	jump back in here there was an
16221s	opportunity for MJ to try to go after an
16223s	edge guard against Phantom but try to go
16225s	over to help outs to Senpai in the
16226s	corner now they're finding themselves in
16228s	a sticky situation where they can't find
16229s	himself back down onto the ground tons
16231s	of grappling hooks coming out from
16232s	Phantom trying to get some additional
16234s	follow-ups with the uppercuts on top of
16236s	that as we're starting to get closer and
16238s	closer to the potential finale of this
16240s	set
16241s	now it's really interesting as well
16243s	because there isn't as much counter play
16245s	inside of the air for either of these
16247s	characters when they get there we're
16248s	seeing a lot of dodges to go ahead and
16250s	get through it but unlike previous men
16252s	yeah this is dangerous this is
16253s	incredibly dangerous scratch everything
16254s	I'm saying we're looking at possible
16256s	last stop and there it is too splimpy
16258s	and MJ moving up back into Grand finals
16262s	against SJP and his teammate to possibly
16266s	get a win with a reset beautiful display
16270s	right now from Two sempei and MJ inside
16272s	of this set
16273s	managed to take that win go up to Grand
16276s	finals and get that Revenge match
16278s	against risking and SJP congratulations
16280s	to Phantom and mitsu Kenshin for getting
16283s	a third place finish here at the multi
16285s	versus false Showdown European finals
16287s	but guys we have the last set maybe two
16291s	of the bracket gets reset but these are
16292s	our final two team contenders of Batman
16296s	and Arya MJ and two sempi coming back up
16299s	to try to face off against a 3-0 team
16302s	that was Riz King and SJP this is gonna
16304s	be rain dog and this is gonna be Velma
16307s	the final final finale of the final
16310s	finals in this final fall Showdown
16314s	multiverses circuit did I mention final
16317s	did you say final I I don't remember
16319s	what what are we currently in where what
16322s	is this
16323s	finals maybe here we go 60
16328s	000 United States dollars on the line
16331s	for this pop bonus and right now to
16334s	Senpai I'm sorry two simpi and MJ over
16337s	on the loser side of grand finals
16339s	rizking and SJP on the winner side they
16342s	only have to win three matches as
16344s	opposed to simpi and MJ who do
16347s	ultimately have to win a total of six
16350s	matches inside of not just this set but
16353s	also a possible reset if they win the
16355s	first three so it's really going to come
16358s	down to whether or not they truly
16360s	understand their opponents whether or
16362s	not they're able to go ahead and make
16364s	some of the changes that they didn't
16365s	unfortunately make it's like that very
16366s	first one because need I remind you that
16369s	very first match or so that very first
16371s	set inside of winners finals was a 3-0
16374s	blowout and you know why it was was
16377s	because they took them to an unorthodox
16379s	stage round one you know they they sat
16382s	there and they said hey
16384s	we don't need to be on sky Arena we
16386s	don't need to be we don't need to be on
16389s	cromulons we can totally go over to
16391s	spooky Mansion and they were fine and I
16394s	am
16395s	surprise I will be very surprised if we
16397s	see the same thing again this time
16400s	for counter picks and stages I feel like
16402s	two sempi and MJ definitely need to go
16403s	for something a little bit more Close
16405s	Quarters I I assume because how it works
16408s	is this first stage is going to be a
16409s	striking system so I have no idea we're
16412s	gonna go for stage number one I don't
16413s	think it's going to be sky Arena because
16415s	it's such a good stage for Velma as well
16417s	as rain dog to be able to set up shop in
16419s	the corners the only way I would see
16421s	Skyrim for game number one is if the
16422s	triplets are active but there's other
16424s	you know stages to boot that are
16426s	actually on the table I would like to
16428s	see something like maybe trophies Edge
16430s	from two sentient MJ I like to see
16432s	something like Batcave I would I'd
16433s	actually go for crimeulons again if they
16435s	were able to delete those speaker phones
16437s	really early on and secure those spikes
16439s	so that's more of like a gamble
16440s	situation but there's tons of other
16442s	stages to go for too Scooby's mansion
16443s	with no roof is also a fantastic one I
16446s	just don't see them wanting to go to the
16448s	original OG sky Arena against a team
16450s	like this with no platform so while we
16453s	wait to figure out how they're going to
16454s	be able to strike these stages man
16455s	Sharpie it's been a blast doing these
16458s	past four and a half hours with you here
16460s	all Showdown it's been four and a half
16461s	hours but it's felt like one because
16462s	everything's been happening so freaking
16465s	fast everything's been so exciting and
16466s	Europe has been putting on quite this
16468s	show for us tons of sets tons of upsets
16470s	and now we're here in the finale where
16473s	you gotta remember Riz King and SJP have
16476s	only ever lost
16478s	to Psycho and macmatt twice in the open
16481s	and guess what they're in seventh place
16483s	so they didn't have to run into them
16484s	this time around so that was their only
16485s	demon and they didn't even have to fight
16487s	them free trip over to Grand finals for
16490s	this team meanwhile on the other side of
16492s	the token we got the team that got first
16494s	place at the EU open number two that is
16497s	two sentient MJ they got knocked into
16499s	losers finals by this team with a 3-0
16501s	shutout they're representing Poland and
16503s	Netherlands coming with the Aria and
16505s	Batman on the other side of that token
16506s	risking an sap that's Sweden UK yet
16508s	again so I was talking I was hyping up
16511s	France a lot this entire day and also
16513s	throughout the whole circuit but not a
16514s	single France player sitting here in
16517s	Grand finals kind of a shocker
16520s	I wouldn't necessarily call it a shocker
16523s	I would call it an upset but I would
16524s	also say that that just goes to show you
16526s	how heavy this bracket has been
16529s	literally the number one seed was
16531s	removed from the team that was just
16533s	eliminated by two simpi and MJ this
16536s	bracket is filled with killers and I
16539s	would be doing everyone a general
16541s	disservice if I didn't say that this
16543s	Grand finals is probably filled with
16546s	some of the most an incredibly
16548s	respectful and responsible and
16551s	Incredibly incredibly competitive
16554s	players I have ever seen inside of the
16556s	entirety of my Multiverse stent thus far
16558s	it's a general pleasure to be here with
16560s	you Aussie and I'm incredibly excited to
16562s	see how both of these teams will go
16565s	ahead and adapt from the previous set
16566s	that they just played over on winners
16569s	finals obviously with MJ and simpi now
16572s	unfortunately being at a little bit of a
16574s	disadvantage State and general for the
16577s	bracket
16578s	and Sharpie I have just one question for
16581s	you are you ready for this
16586s	who you got
16589s	honey I'm so you got who you got who you
16591s	got come on my wallet right here
16595s	I got me 45 right now on two centi and
16600s	MJ to go ahead and reset the bracket 6-0
16602s	straight up I got I got 45 if anybody in
16605s	the chat wants to match me in terms of
16607s	Channel points y'all can go ahead and
16608s	match me I just want to thank you in
16610s	advance for donating to my personal
16612s	Channel points I'm putting 45
16615s	000 Channel points right now on MJ and
16618s	Tucson P winning up 6-0 off the reset
16626s	only 45.
16628s	I only have 45 I'm sorry
16633s	too much
16636s	I'm sorry I've been losing a lot I've
16638s	been playing the odds
16640s	you got you sit so confidently I believe
16644s	you for a second that you actually had
16645s	that many points
16648s	I'm sorry I feel like I've been lived I
16650s	feel like I've been lied to bro it's
16651s	okay
16654s	foreign
16659s	everything on you
16662s	word I'm putting it all in risking sap
16664s	bet
16666s	oh okay so you're going to the safe
16667s	route I appreciate those points by the
16669s	way it really means a lot to me
16676s	kidding and
16678s	finals Let's Get Hype for risking and
16682s	SJP over on Winner's side against two
16685s	semp and MJ for your very first game of
16690s	this eu's multiverses Grand Finals on
16693s	cromulons
16695s	so cromulons has the opening stage for
16697s	this set not too surprised that we're
16699s	gonna be seeing this for game one
16700s	because this benefits both teams right
16702s	in the beginning you're gonna see the
16704s	stereo speakers that help out the The
16706s	Blue Team a lot because not only is
16707s	random going to be able to set up that
16709s	electric Crystal throughout the whole
16710s	stage by being on the speaker and
16711s	sitting up as high as possible it also
16713s	gives them plenty of room to play this
16715s	keyboard game look at that there's a
16716s	chilling outside of Stadium you have to
16718s	try to even go for that approach and
16719s	when they do they just go right back
16721s	over to the right side a big Open Stage
16723s	for them to set up so much shop in the
16726s	process but then eventually those
16728s	speakers will go down and then red team
16730s	finally gets a little bit more room than
16732s	trying to play their approach game
16733s	they're playing extremely patient right
16734s	now not diving into anything too much
16736s	trying to get rid of the crystals in the
16737s	process and not getting going in the
16739s	middle of those tethers on top of it and
16741s	now you know we're just kind of trading
16742s	currently Sharpie
16744s	I I agree with the options that blue
16747s	team is making right now going ahead and
16749s	getting up all this free damage when
16751s	they can because the minute those
16752s	speakers went down as you said
16753s	previously it's really going to be in
16755s	two cent piece and MJ's favor so they
16758s	want to go ahead and get any Knockouts
16759s	that they can before those speakers go
16761s	down because the rest of the match is
16763s	going to be a little bit more difficult
16764s	to get set up on brain dog putting down
16766s	so many different projectiles on the
16767s	stream getting that damage over time up
16770s	to 100 each member of the red team is
16772s	sitting at over 120 percent right now
16775s	while blue team is still sitting really
16776s	healthy both under 80 percent it's a
16778s	very very strong case for blue team but
16781s	unfortunately that very first knockout
16783s	goes out to red team who responds by
16785s	actually getting knocked out by that
16788s	rain dog SJP the rain dog we have been
16790s	actively acclaiming and just raving over
16794s	recently just because of their ability
16796s	to not only rack up damage but also play
16798s	incredibly aggressively inside of the
16800s	close combat situation that you don't
16802s	usually see from Rain Dogs a down air
16803s	down let's go ahead and secure a
16805s	knockout there from Velma pointing their
16808s	way to Matt MJ's death off of the top of
16811s	the stage and look at the way that right
16814s	now arya's already at 75 Batman's at 39
16817s	just racking up the damage from this dot
16820s	which is going up even higher and higher
16822s	and higher as I live and breathe and
16824s	commenting Velma and rainbowa really
16827s	really controlling the entire pacing of
16829s	this matching Crosby
16831s	I mean right yeah it honestly it's
16833s	mostly SJP because that man is surviving
16836s	he's at 84 damage on still his very
16838s	first stock over two minutes have passed
16841s	and he's still surviving outside you're
16842s	not gonna be able to find it's KO mark
16844s	because the horizontal blast zone is so
16846s	far away when the speakers are out of
16848s	place so it's hard to get a spike a kale
16850s	against him unless you commit to a spike
16852s	which you just can't seem to find that
16853s	Mark because anytime you see SJP off
16855s	stage like that risky is covering his
16857s	tracks that's gonna be risking second
16858s	stock until finally we get an unofficial
16861s	indecider two-step in MJ now on the
16863s	verge of taking on this game but
16864s	unfortunately they have 1.0 wave 165 on
16867s	the lightest character in the game to
16868s	Simply has to stay alive has to play the
16870s	back Landing game but Vegeta's gonna
16872s	stay alive just as long as they did it
16873s	doesn't even matter it catches them with
16875s	that bite up there risking SJP taking
16878s	that first game and already making
16880s	Sharpie sweat a little bit with the
16882s	channel points
16883s	you know it's really hard to talk about
16886s	not only because I have to be unbiased
16887s	throughout my commentary but because SJ
16889s	and rizking played so incredibly well
16891s	there we talked about their win
16892s	condition kind of resulting and making
16894s	sure that they racked up that damage
16896s	early on inside of the set especially
16897s	through the projectile game and we did
16899s	see it they had immediate trade here but
16901s	what happened immediately after that was
16902s	something that I necessarily did not
16904s	expect otherwise I would have put my
16905s	channel points a different way and that
16907s	was actually that the game that they
16909s	played of keep away further onto the set
16911s	was incredibly strong they were able to
16913s	keep red team at percentages over a
16916s	hundred percent a majority of the time
16918s	even after those speakers went down they
16920s	had absolutely no problem keeping that
16922s	pb and j sandwich of red team in the
16925s	middle of blue team at any point
16927s	throughout crimeulons it was a very very
16929s	smart pick I don't know who ended up
16931s	winning that coin toss to determine it
16933s	but a very very strong pick because I
16935s	have some suspicion that it was actually
16937s	SJP and rizza's pick there so if it was
16940s	their pick congratulations that was a
16942s	very very strong pick I understand why
16944s	they probably wouldn't have been able to
16945s	pick sky Arena platforms if it was not
16947s	their pick I do think we're going to see
16949s	two simpy and MJ not necessarily allow
16952s	them as much Freedom by possibly taking
16954s	them over to another stage similar to
16956s	bat cave like you were talking about
16958s	previously or very possible sky Arena
16960s	plots
16962s	and another thing you got to remember is
16964s	if you look at the history of these sets
16966s	right and just Europe and fall showdown
16968s	in general both European one and two
16971s	open qualifiers did not receive a
16974s	bracket reset West and East yesterday
16976s	did both receive a bracket reset but it
16979s	didn't matter because the person who
16980s	started in Winter still won the entire
16983s	tournament so if like history is going
16985s	to repeat itself with all these
16987s	tournaments I gotta say risking sap are
16989s	looking very strong right now and it's
16991s	up to two sempi and MJ to try to break
16994s	hope through this armor and try to go
16996s	with a comfortability pick because again
16999s	sky Arena I don't think is going to be
17001s	on the table
17002s	it's gonna be really difficult for sure
17005s	yeah this is kind of what I had a
17007s	thought about I really did think that we
17009s	were gonna see uh probably Scooby
17011s	mansions with no ceiling just because of
17013s	how comfortable of a stage this is as
17015s	you've talked about previously Aussie
17017s	this stage is very similar to sky Arena
17019s	no platforms especially after you get
17021s	rid of those walls it just has a much
17023s	higher ceiling so it's a really good
17026s	pick for characters like Batman and Arya
17029s	who are mostly focusing on trying to get
17032s	some of those y-axis confirms
17034s	specifically those vertical confirms for
17037s	knockout and I think it was a really
17039s	smart counter pick especially inside of
17040s	the situation with as well as they did
17043s	on cromulons you know you don't have to
17044s	worry about as much when it comes down
17046s	to it and it's already showing off to be
17049s	a little bit more of a difficult task
17050s	than they would have liked Arya sitting
17051s	at 101. Batman sitting at 65 and they're
17054s	just both going in against that rain dog
17056s	but unfortunately it looks as though
17058s	Arya does pay with that with their life
17060s	to Simply Be actually being responsible
17061s	for the very first knockout and blue
17063s	team's favor and there's the mystery
17065s	machine now in play MJ has to try to
17067s	play keep away while 270 breaks and
17069s	managed to do so and if you remember
17072s	what we were talking about in the
17073s	previous set is that Sage control is so
17076s	important in platform Fighters just in
17078s	general especially multiverses but right
17080s	now what we're seeing is that red team
17081s	tends to have stage control and controls
17084s	the center of the stage but that doesn't
17086s	matter because blue team is very
17088s	comfortable seeing in that corner but
17089s	finally we see an uppercut coming up
17090s	from NJ before he goes blasting off yet
17093s	again into the blast zone before he
17094s	comes back in spawns and gets the
17096s	uppercut tied points game would still
17098s	simply a little bit high in terms of the
17100s	damage department now it's going to
17102s	become a back to the camping stop right
17104s	get these Fireballs get the ice potions
17106s	projectiles coming out electrical
17107s	crystals passive damage over the place
17109s	here comes the tether eventually there
17110s	it is like just tons and tons of setup
17113s	shop for Bluetooth and red team didn't
17115s	really have an answer to try to break
17116s	through that defense
17117s	and one of the things that I'm really
17119s	seeing I think Velma excel at here is
17122s	that rain dog is totally fine playing
17123s	defensively and we've seen that earlier
17125s	inside the set as well look at how much
17127s	damage is being racked up right now I'm
17130s	very excited to see these damage charts
17131s	that's that's one of the things I'm
17132s	waiting for the most is for this
17134s	specific match to be done so I can see
17136s	the damage charge because I have a
17137s	sneaking suspicion that rain dog is
17139s	responsible for a majority of the damage
17140s	yet again coming out on this team
17142s	um I'm just looking at Batman
17144s	consistently be at over 100 I'm looking
17146s	at them the play the defensive game
17148s	getting these Fair opportunities to go
17150s	ahead and knock away that Aria as soon
17152s	as she approaches and getting that final
17154s	bit of up special right there to go
17156s	ahead and secure the illumination final
17158s	two oh on for Riz and SJP very very
17163s	strong showing and it's looking more and
17165s	more Aussie like I'm not gonna get those
17166s	Channel points back
17168s	yeah I mean risking SJP up two to oh
17171s	literally on tournament Point circuit
17175s	Point mind you being one game away from
17177s	taking home a big chunk of that sixty
17179s	thousand dollar circuit coming at you
17181s	live here for multi versus fall Showdown
17183s	are they gonna be able to shut this down
17185s	and get a 6-0 victory over 270 and MJ go
17187s	if you carry it over winners finals or
17189s	MJ and two simply gonna find something
17191s	out because right now I think this is
17194s	like a pure counter in terms of like
17197s	rushdown comp against this I feel like
17198s	they're just struggling to find any form
17200s	of way to get in because they're playing
17202s	such a pure Rush down comp they don't
17204s	have the ability to counteract those
17206s	projectiles because like there's so much
17207s	there's so many ways to counteract
17210s	something like this to be able to try to
17211s	figure your push yourself in right
17213s	there's characters there's Gizmo even
17215s	though Gizmo's like in a weird spot
17216s	right now in terms because no one really
17218s	plays them he has the ability to shut
17219s	down projectiles there's Black Adam who
17221s	is still relatively new but has the
17224s	ability to neutralize a lot of the
17225s	projectiles put up the shield and try to
17226s	like set up shop on their own you have
17228s	the ability to have a front liner and to
17230s	make someone play a support role in the
17232s	back so you can actually kind of
17233s	counteract some of these projectiles
17235s	because right now when you play Pure
17236s	Rush down versus pure projectiles I
17238s	generally think peer projectiles are
17240s	going to come out on top you need to
17241s	bring something to the table that's the
17242s	way the game is designed to have one
17244s	projectile and one Rush down and the
17246s	thing is if you have two Rush down
17248s	versus two projectiles it's like how do
17249s	you get in with all these especially
17251s	with rain dog who's just putting up
17252s	these constant walls dude Fireballs
17255s	projectiles electric crystals they're
17256s	just kind of countering themselves by
17258s	picking this comp and I think that's
17259s	actually what's going to spell disaster
17261s	for them for the rest of this tournament
17263s	for sure and one of the other issues
17265s	that I'm I'm really seeing a lot of here
17268s	is I really enjoy watching MJ play I
17271s	enjoyed watching MJ plain sight of the
17273s	open I enjoyed watching MJ play inside
17274s	of Make It Rain dog I've enjoyed
17276s	watching them play even when they were
17278s	showcasing inside of other tournaments
17280s	but I am somewhat concerned that Batman
17283s	may not be the right choice inside of
17285s	this uh matchup specifically because of
17289s	the exact reason that you said how can
17291s	you get in with a rushdown character
17292s	like Batman when you have so many
17295s	projectiles on their screen your
17296s	grappling hook is not going to go
17297s	through all of that projectile field you
17299s	know you have to be concerned you have
17301s	to be worried I almost feel like Shaggy
17304s	or Superman would actually be a bit of a
17306s	better choice here we are going to go to
17308s	the arena platform for the third match
17309s	right here uh something that I think
17311s	they're somewhat comfy going to
17313s	immediately we see them set up the
17315s	science potion does go down keep reading
17317s	a little bit of area we get the crystal
17319s	immediately going out from here the
17320s	projectile game with risking and SJP get
17323s	started to Senpai in uh two centi and MJ
17326s	immediately going in not getting in any
17328s	damage before they're immediately kicked
17330s	out and now arya's at 67 and Batman's
17333s	right there at 61. very unfortunate
17335s	round start here for red team I'm a wolf
17338s	yeah and it's just gonna keep on
17339s	climbing look them he pulls him back
17341s	just to put up set up ShopRite all they
17343s	do is they wait for the cooldowns to
17344s	come up and get those big deals ready to
17346s	go and it's up to NJ in 270 to break
17348s	through this defense and anytime they
17349s	get any sort of combo going SJP has the
17351s	leash pull ready to rock and pull
17353s	risking out of any sort of danger they
17355s	were in dropping down the fireball
17356s	here's the punish MJ actually has the
17358s	opportunity to get this bike he's
17359s	looking for it gets the Batman
17361s	unfortunately SGP is so good at
17364s	recovering and mixing up how they're
17366s	gonna be able to get back into the fight
17367s	and NJ could not find that KO that's
17370s	something they desperately need to get
17372s	in order to try to put a point on the
17373s	board they need to go for those Edge
17374s	guards
17375s	yeah they really do it's instrumental
17378s	that they do it especially early inside
17380s	the set otherwise it'll be next to
17381s	impossible for them to come back but as
17383s	soon as they get in what really matters
17385s	is making sure that you count especially
17387s	especially when you watch a velvet down
17390s	there you like that pointing you off the
17393s	stage and into a knockout situation
17396s	unfortunate and untimely if you ask me
17399s	knock out for Batman there he was
17401s	sitting at 100 so it wasn't necessarily
17402s	as a timely as we would have liked I am
17405s	absolutely in all right now with sjp's
17407s	projectile game there has not been a
17409s	single moment that I've been able to
17410s	look at the screen and not see a
17412s	fireball of another knockout goes down
17415s	on 270 right now uh literally risking
17417s	and SJP were one knockout away from
17420s	winning this entire set it doesn't look
17423s	as though risking does actually get
17424s	knocked out themselves pudding the very
17426s	first stock up for red team but it's
17429s	still a monumentously large mole hill to
17432s	climb over for victory
17434s	and they're trying to climb a sharp
17436s	because right now it is three points to
17437s	one risky and SJP with three points
17439s	against 270 and MJ with that final Point
17442s	gets another uppercut gonna try to stay
17444s	alive in this battle for as long as
17445s	possible 101 damage sitting here on MJ
17448s	trying to find a mic trying to get any
17450s	sort of gameplay to go to try to
17452s	counteract blue team's unfortunate walls
17455s	that they're putting up but MJ has to
17456s	stay alive he has to play the back
17457s	Landing game he's struggling a little
17459s	bit like all these Glides into trying to
17460s	weave back in but now two step he's a
17461s	danger but doesn't even matter against
17463s	the up there and that's gonna be the
17465s	circuit for Europe brisk and SJP getting
17468s	a three to zero victory over red team
17471s	and solidifies themselves as your
17474s	European Champs give it up for risking
17477s	and SJP Velma in the rain dog
17481s	fantastic display from risking and SJP
17484s	they're two semp and MJ were very very
17486s	strong contenders we saw them go ahead
17488s	and try to change with battering they
17490s	tried to challenge it with the
17491s	projectiles they tried to challenge the
17493s	project uh the protectiles with dagger
17495s	as well but ultimately even inside of
17497s	this game three here on the reset side
17500s	we still unfortunately see them not be
17503s	able to change enough resulting in
17504s	risking and SJP coming out Victorious as
17508s	your EU final multi versus Champions the
17513s	very first of the Fall showcase the very
17516s	first Multiverse circuit in history here
17519s	what an amazing display of not only high
17523s	level multiverses but also prowess and
17526s	teamwork throughout the entirety of this
17528s	tournament austie
17530s	yeah and that's exactly what came down
17532s	to everyone just working together to get
17534s	to their spot you gotta remember at the
17536s	end of the day this is a team gang and
17538s	picking the right comp is what's going
17540s	to be able to help secure you that
17542s	finishing spot in the bracket once again
17544s	congratulations to risking sap for
17547s	getting that first place finish here
17548s	with the circuit and guys that's gonna
17551s	be it for us I had a blast here Sharpie

17555s	here and being the voices of the

17577s	excited to do it hopefully inside of the
17579s	future and I'm so thankful I had an
17581s	opportunity to do it obviously inside of
17583s	this past multiverses is obviously a
17586s	fantastic game and not only is it
17588s	incredibly competitive and Incredibly
17590s	open and Incredibly well balanced it's

17595s	if you have ever wanted to go ahead and
17597s	get into multiverses not only do you not
17599s	have to pay a single bit but cross play
