But Gobou's meter management is insane. I usually saw a Zato burns all their resources just to open someone up, and end up barely get anything from it.
4:20 Gobou is just insane, makes me question why didn't Arc Sys made so that blocked burst at least placed Eddie on desummoned state to be called back imediatelly
Here's some of my observations why Gobou's Zato doesn't get slaughtered by Slayer like most other Zato: 1) In neutral, stay outside the maximum range of Slayer's 2HS, trying to whiff punish it. 2) When Gobou is likely to end his blockstring, or there's a gap for Slayer to take his turn back by 2HS, Gobou will try to predict Slayer using 2HS and use 66BRC -> 5P to land a counterhit. In other words, DON'T ALWAYS USE METER ON SUPER OR RRC TO MAKE GAPLESS BLOCKSTRING. Trapping Slayer into using 2HS and beating it is a very solid option as well. 3) I am unsure about this one, but Gobou uses Gold Burst more often than others. I think the extra meter used for YRC, 66BRC maybe better than blue burst, which may get baited and end up receiving more damage
As a casual shitter, i have no clue what you said, but it sounds smart so i will reply to this so it gets boosted and smart people can tell me im wrong
You're already incorrect in the premise: It's false that Zatos gets slaughtered by Slayers, quite opposite. Slayer is currently THE character with lowest competitive winrate, and matchup vs Zato is basically impossible because you're never touching Zato as Slayer.
I feel like I've seen more people finally using back-jumping a lot more against Slayers to reset neutral as well. Not much Slayer can do about this beyond rushing in to catch up, which opens him up a bit.
@@Shareezzthe matchup is horrible for zato bc of 2h and mappa hunch, if slayers are losing on competitive level (which is not true) is the player's fault, and on another hand the non-competitive zatos struggle real bad against slayer bc of the matchup
@@liafernandalobato6415 That is not correct. If you look at top Slayer profiles on puddle farm, Zatos are consistently in their worst 5 matchups. I personally don't find any Zato threatened by mappa or 2HS, because drills hardcounter both, and then you summon eddie and go in from the air, forcing pressure, either scoring and repeating, or not scoring and resetting. Now, if Floor 6 Zatos can't do the same, it "is the player's fault".
*Gobou regarding the Zato/Slayer Match-up (Translations by me):* "うーんこれはひどい" *"Hmmm, this is terrible (The Slayer/Zato match-up is disadvantageous for Zato)"* Proceeds to dominate the set 3-1 - Gobou is just too strong of a player and also...... *Gobou Stream Viewer:* "ザトーはまだ死んでいますか?" *"Is Zato still dead? (They are asking if Zato is still a bad character in the current version)"* *Gobou:* "いいえ" *"No"* I am glad that Zato is once again a tournament-viable character - and Gobou is clearly demonstrating that in his gameplay. My apologies, Zato downplayers, but you will have to find another hobby...
@@tire_iron488When Zato was near the bottom in terms of character strength, Gobou fully admitted it - he has no reason to up-play Zato, because he personally stated that he has no attachment to the character outside of its character strength. Zato is good in this patch, just more difficult to play/execute - and that is a fact...
@@YallGonMakeMe245I most definitely appreciate the kind words, thank you. I have been fairly active recently, and this is by no means self advertisement, but I have posted Gobou's thoughts on Zato in the Gobou vs. Gekiuma Dog replay comment section, and his thoughts on Asuka in the current version of the game on the Komekome vs. TY replay - The only caveat, is that my post(s) there are quite long.... Moreover, Gobou's opinion of Zato in the current version is what convinces me that the character is good again - not top tier, but still good.
2 interactions before that, the Slayer did Mappa Hunch after Invite Hell. Gobou likely noted that immediately, and when Slayer was spaced further the second time around, he went for the 6p, anticipating it.
@Shareezz Zato gets touched once he's dead. Slayer does crazy damage and has no problem advancing onto Zato. Gobou is just fuckin Gobou. This match up 100% is in Slayers favor. The problem people have with Zato is he's a knowledge check.
Oh man, I can't wait to see some awesome setplay and mixups from this Zat- 0:03 of course... 0:52 Oh man! Those mixups did so much damage! Zato-1 could win off this health advant- 1:10 of course... Nvm, he cooked for the rest of the game
Slayer mains are so trash to the point where they have to buy a dlc character that has a three input wallbreak just to have a chance and they still somehow lose 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good to see you comment again, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your insight on this channel

Asuka girl is lowkey the best part of the comment section 🤫
Gobou thought nerfed Zato was still ok for a few weeks
zato my beautiful king…
*Gobou
Venom, is it you?
0:10 Gobou is something else man. Theres no way he got that on reaction.

that was defo a pre empt
on another episode of "local vampire beats up blind man"
Did we watch the same set of matches? Gobou won 3-1
Point still stands
@@ShadowNinjaMaster93 on another episode of "blind man beats up local vampire"
blind man fight back...
Well this time should be "a buff guy beats a vampire"
Wait that sounds like some jojo stuff here
5:05 why does slayer say "Hatusne Miku" when he gets wall-broken?
love
This slayer LOVES his 2H
They all do
It's his win button
It's particularly good at smoking Eddie
We're so back, i love gobu playing zato
0:39 the music sync on the fist clench 👌
El maestro ha vuelto
7:07 Zato literally got vanished into the dark with this one from Slayer
Dandyism.
wtf zato's in this game??
Now that the dust has settled, we can agreed he needed all that in season 1?
00:35-00:43 yo the music syncs go crazy
3:24 american psycho ooh
ufff 0:30 what a clean mix
Gobou my goat
I love Slayer's character.
Oh hey zato's back
Two characters meet.
One is a low tier with lowest competitive winrate of the entire cast, and the other is using a yellow skin.
Right? Nerf Zato already
@@notlunaticdancer4393 Zato is a matchup where Slayer is struggling to get a single touch in 3 rounds. Something needs to be done to this matchup.
@@Shareezz Delusional

Zato casually getting two touched every round has gotta be demoralizing
he won tho and slayer 2 touches everyone anyway
It's lame asf but he still 3-1 him, so slayer got gapped hard
It's extremely annoying
0:24 Zato downplay start

Why does slayers mustache disappear when he does a super
he sucks their blood, making him younger. kinda makes sense
4:28 DISRESPECT ! HAhAHAHAhA
That's a cancel to lower recovery of the previous attack
Slayer
third strike:twelve
ggst:zato
thank god slayer doesn’t have a dp
Slayer is so cool
Nerf Zato
Let’s make a sandwich
