You have to realize that DK is a heavy character, one of the slowest in the game. Pikachu is not, one of the faster characters. It takes tremendously more reading for DK to touch pikachu than the other way around. Obviously its balanced a little by the larger amount of percent DK's moves do, but really he's at the disadvantage, pikachu's stun times are way less.
Tien Nguyen yeah because every minute hit or play he did was automatically 10x harder than anything esam had to do. DK vs pikachu it's insane he even stood a chance.
It's pretty obvious the underdog there is a dk vs fucking pikachu of all things. People tend to get hype in those situations plus konga is always a favorite.
ESAM: *Does some really good combos on Konga's DK* Commentators: *silence* Konga: *breathes* Commentators: *OH MY GOD WHAT A SMART MOVE BY KONGA* (Edit: I was joking about how they only sounded hyped about Konga and not ESAM when both did great, that's all.)
It gets balanced because of Pikachu’s combos with a heavy because Pikachu can just keep DK in a combo. But DK does damage and can kill lightweights (Pikachu) early.
> Konga parry a little Thunder Jolt Commentator: OMG DID YOU SEE THAT?! THIS BLESSED KONG DID IT AGAIN > Esam make a really nice combo-kill, recovery and stuff Commentator: ...oh... ANOTHER KONGA PARRY OH MY That's so annoying.
Daniel Fajardo tbf pikachu is high S tier and combos like that are seen a lot. A lot of these commentators tire of seeing pros abusing super fast high tier characters combos. Esam has been around for awhile and has pulled that stuff so much. Im sure if Konga keeps coming to tourneys and does the same thing over and over again, commentators will bore of it. And heavy characters are much more satisfying to watch because most are bottom tier. Landing those punches that have such meaning in them is super satisfying. but also, it's like they said. It's Konga's home turf. It would be weird to not cheer for him a little. And parrying with that proficiency is not easy. Especially those double parries.
@@dexterwinn7615 see your point man, but you are still missing the facts: - The commentators were biased at the most they can about anything that Donkey Kong did, despite that was not a cool, clever or skilled move. If this isn't pretty annoying, "cheerleaders" and "commentators" are synonyms now on Smash community and I am very outdated; - They were in a TOURNAMENT, both Konga and Esam did they best with the characters they always picked before. Fairly they can. "Abuse super fast high tier characters combo" isn't a bad thing to do in a fighting game tournament for me, too, honestly. Esam did nothing to shame in that play. And this Pikachu isn't broken like "Smash 4 Bayo" or "Melee Fox" (even Pikachu was, whatever, it's a profissional match, dude). - Yeah, I really enjoy to see Konga countering Esam moves and stuff, this man is really a inspiration for my DK play, that was beautiful, but of us (and the commentators too) agree! This isn't his fault. Neither Esam was wrong. If it isn't satisfying you, welp. Sorry. I just think Smash community flaws to think tournament matches suit to entertain they in priority instead fair and nice competitivity.
Asdf Gadsg this was the early days of ultimate. Because they remove sheild stun, parries were valued more than they deserved. If the exact same thing happened but more recently, the commentary wouldn’t have been so one sided
Yeah it wasn't fun to watch at all, even though Esam VASTLY outplayed konga. It was gross. Konga was blindly hoping to get ahead and cheese grabs to win because he was so outmatched.
Carlos Govea ikr I'm like wow what a one side commentary esam outplayed dk so so many times they didnt cheer or anything just kept dick riding konga cheer everytime he won
Look my guy dk was the underdog by a mile. Pikachu is a lot quicker than dk and could therefore get a lot of those quick combos in and deal 80% damage at once. Insane combos, sure, but Konga's plays were much more satisfying to watch, and definitely hypes up both commentators and the crowd lot more.

@The mighty Mr.OldSchool you seem like you need some help. This is the most balanced game in the Smash bros series and there's only 3/4 slightly overpowered characters and 20 underpowered ones. The vast majority of characters are completely fine. Also, when ESAM says broken, he is exaggerating. He has said this.
Not really lol, dk is definitely a viable option in tournaments and a lot of the good things pikachu did were not easbake combos, they were di reads and vast knowledge of pikachus combos game.
@@mv3507 yeah but this Esam we talking about. He has the clout and the record behind him. I'm not super big on the scene so I'm might be talking out my ass because I dont know much about Konga.

bruh i just want to say your the only comment in the section i seen that doesn't make me want to slam my face against a keyboard. ppl are honestly throwed, most views on this video have to be more than noobs in terms of knowledge of the proscene to comment the way they do. ppl complaining about the commentators biased but don't realize shit about the players and the tier list
@@woe1008 That doesn't matter, commentators aren't supposed to be like this and the Smash ones are the only ones that do it, straight up ignoring crazy combos that should be explained or hyped because, what? They are expected? When Faker gets a solo kill you don't ignore it, when Stewie gets 4 kills in a match you don't ignore it, etc. They are supposed to commentate and offer minimally biased reviews of the plays that happened and why they happened. Commentators are literally there primarily for, as you put it, noobs. No one gives a fuck about the tier list it is irrelevant when it comes to commentary, it is fine to give a bit more props to the underdog, but straight up ignoring commentating Esam, who lets be real had much more valuable commentary viable plays, to scream 'OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE HIM PARRY THAT SLOW MOVING PROJECTILE?!', is retarded and poor commentary. Shit like this is one of the big reasons everyone makes fun of the smash community, even other FGC commentary is far better.
@@sparkyspinz9897 tier? isn't DK high or even top tier right now? then again, tiers shouldn't be taken seriously at this point, but we'll see. DK has a LOT of pros right now.
justin jia kinda what I was saying. My friends look at characters and say they are low tier so they dont wanna try them I say tiers dont really matter in this game
People have to remember that Konga was the clear underdog here. The matchup really isn’t in DK’s favor, so of course the commentators are going to be biased towards Konga. That being said, there should’ve been a little more recognition for some of the stuff Esam was pulling off here, especially around 18:30, that was nutty.
It wasn't just the commentators; the crowd cheered for Konga more than Esam, too. I think most everyone just hates fighting Pikachu lol. It's sort of like how everyone would cheer when Sonic or Bayonetta loses too.
ESAM's play is really good, but except for his combo at 18:30 it just felt like what I'd expect from pro-level play. Kong is a serious underdog and watching him win, not by using crazy combos, but perfectly executing his basic bread-and-butter moves is really refreshing for heavy fans
Both players played very well, obviously Esam was better that's why he won. But those commentators were annoying as hell. Konga: *Blinks* Commentators: HOLY FUCKISVDKSIQBSISVDIDJWSIBD
This commentary is just the smash community in general. People don’t care if your good at the game if you don’t play a low tier or a “sick” character. Yeah Pikachu is arguably the best character in the game and pretty campy when he needs to be, but that doesn’t mean that Esam deserves to be given any less praise than other PGR/ top players.
Guys, don't let the commentators distract you from how fucking sick this match was. Both players played beautifully: they kicked each other's asses with such amazing finesse and skill. Lovely
ESAM: intelligently combos the hell out of Konga Konga: Grab -> Jump Off Ledge -> Throw -> Consider myself gud g8mer -> be slightly salty about getting dunked on and losing regardless -> rush out of the stage
Deadrocky he did not lose because of the parries, it’s plays a huge roll of not letting your shield getting eaten away and helps have something less to worry about. He was one stock away from winning, it came down to the matchup in the end props to both
Robert Wood at that high of a level and with the speed of pikachu and even the double parries he pulled off are not easy to pull off lmfao. The commentators were too hype IMO but those parries definitely took some skill
@@TARINunit9 What? There's a total of 2 examples mentioned here of him doing this, despite them constantly complimenting ESAM. Just rewatch the video listening to nothing but the commentary and you'd realise that they are constantly complimenting ESAM's play, only stopping to yell about a flashy thing conga did or about something bad one of the players did. They hardly compliment conga on anything except the flashy stuff. Just because everyone in the comments is jumping on the bandwagon of saying this doesn't mean you need to also.
TARINunit9 "no you're wrong I'm right" just actually rewatch the video (which you've not possibly had time to do since I posted my comment) and notice that their commentary is as it should be (apart from getting slightly too hyped over parrys)
@@finmin2k Your perception is skewed because Konga wins the first round. The commentators use that as an excuse to jump on Konga's dick and never get off
A year ago, I used to think how biased this is. Now I get it. This match up is disgusting trash and the dude took the first game off esams pika with DONKEY KONG! Of course ur gonna get hype for the guy with the HUGE disadvantage
Kongas playstyle is smart. He isn't reckless and he makes great decisions on his moves. You can tell he has great experience with Donkey Kong. I used to main him. So I can see his style and definitely can see his experience with him. Probably the best Donkey Kong. I like Hikaru. But I have to give it up to Konga on having a strong, smart and technical Donkey Kong. 👍 Edit: Like he picks his moves and is patient when dealing with stuff. He knows when to attack and what moves to do. He isn't flow chart. Also his parry game helps Donkey Kong when wanting to get hits in. This is what I got from him on this match.
@@whitneyl.1856 did you fucking listen to the commentary? They didn't yell and get super hype about what he was doing cause most of what he was doing wasn't very flashy but they spent most of the commentary complementing ESAM and saying about how well he's playing and about how swell the last thing he did was. I get that everyone in the comment section is saying this one thing and so you get free likes for this but holy shit if you actually listened to the commentary and counted how much time they spent complimenting each player you'd realise this.

@The mighty Mr.OldSchool you seem like you need some help. This is the most balanced game in the Smash bros series and there's only 3/4 slightly overpowered characters and 20 underpowered ones. The vast majority of characters are completely fine. Also, when ESAM says broken, he is exaggerating. He has said this.
Dont wanna hate, but the commentators where kissing konga's ass. Esam needs some praise too. Both players played very well.
Pikachu got no love because pikachu isn’t the underdog
Not really lol, dk is definitely a viable option in tournaments and a lot of the good things pikachu did were not easbake combos, they were di reads and vast knowledge of pikachus combos game.
@@mv3507 yeah but this Esam we talking about. He has the clout and the record behind him. I'm not super big on the scene so I'm might be talking out my ass because I dont know much about Konga. Anyway it's still rough for DK to deal with small quick characters regardless of how good he is overall. Plus this parries were hype, but so were Esams mashouts. Godlike
bruh i just want to say your the only comment in the section i seen that doesn't make me want to slam my face against a keyboard. ppl are honestly throwed, most views on this video have to be more than noobs in terms of knowledge of the proscene to comment the way they do. ppl complaining about the commentators biased but don't realize shit about the players and the tier list
@@woe1008 That doesn't matter, commentators aren't supposed to be like this and the Smash ones are the only ones that do it, straight up ignoring crazy combos that should be explained or hyped because, what? They are expected? When Faker gets a solo kill you don't ignore it, when Stewie gets 4 kills in a match you don't ignore it, etc. They are supposed to commentate and offer minimally biased reviews of the plays that happened and why they happened. Commentators are literally there primarily for, as you put it, noobs. No one gives a fuck about the tier list it is irrelevant when it comes to commentary, it is fine to give a bit more props to the underdog, but straight up ignoring commentating Esam, who lets be real had much more valuable commentary viable plays, to scream 'OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE HIM PARRY THAT SLOW MOVING PROJECTILE?!', is retarded and poor commentary. Shit like this is one of the big reasons everyone makes fun of the smash community, even other FGC commentary is far better.
@@Outwardpd U talking about counterstrike in the comments of a smash video? xD
As a DK main, that was amazing to watch.
Both very good smash players.
Do you get clapped too or
You sound like my donkey Kong main friend
@Ryan Holmes you wouldn't be bitching if they was kissing ESAM ass.

Was it?
Esam needs a little praise here, playing a speed type character is so demanding but he pulls it off. Good job my dude.

He really is. Was just about to comment. Hes really entertaining to watch
@@sparkyspinz9897 tier? isn't DK high or even top tier right now?
then again, tiers shouldn't be taken seriously at this point, but we'll see. DK has a LOT of pros right now.
justin jia kinda what I was saying. My friends look at characters and say they are low tier so they dont wanna try them I say tiers dont really matter in this game
I wanna see the set that the crowd is watching
There was melee going on simultaneously to the right.
@@M1sterE321 what match?
@@madrocts Not really sure but it was top 8 winners melee at the same time as top 8 winner ultimate in the same room
People have to remember that Konga was the clear underdog here. The matchup really isn’t in DK’s favor, so of course the commentators are going to be biased towards Konga. That being said, there should’ve been a little more recognition for some of the stuff Esam was pulling off here, especially around 18:30, that was nutty.
As a pikachu main i disliked the commentators sucking off the dk player but I must admit im very impressed with the game
Commentators were very biased huh 😅
I mean they popped off for esam actually doing interesting things but how do you commentate moves that link for minimal dmg.
i hate pikachu.
@@XLR_Valentine Yes because Pikachu " breaks the game" Nah, Pikachu requires skill and timing. That's why he is so good.
Chill out bro. They're just impressed with Konga's ability to parry.
Lmao that one commentator that popped off every time Konga landed a hit.
Super biased.
It's fine if it's for the underdog
Yeah, there's a difference between commentating and fan boying. It was really annoying how disappointed they sounded when Esam got the final KO.
It wasn't just the commentators; the crowd cheered for Konga more than Esam, too. I think most everyone just hates fighting Pikachu lol. It's sort of like how everyone would cheer when Sonic or Bayonetta loses too.
People like to see the underdog win, especially if they play a heavy
@@usagijojo2 it's home-turf advantage. Conga fans were everywhere in that crowd.
taking pointers from I.Q.Kong on reading the _stock_ market
the door, my good man. you know where to find it 🚪
ESAM's play is really good, but except for his combo at 18:30 it just felt like what I'd expect from pro-level play. Kong is a serious underdog and watching him win, not by using crazy combos, but perfectly executing his basic bread-and-butter moves is really refreshing for heavy fans
Both players played very well, obviously Esam was better that's why he won. But those commentators were annoying as hell.
Konga: *Blinks*
Commentators: HOLY FUCKISVDKSIQBSISVDIDJWSIBD
They were very annoying
GimR is definitely the best when it comes to parries. He parries absolutely everything, I don't understand!
It’s crazy we used to get so hype over the most basic parries, wish I could go back 🥺
Lol Konga dude must be a 3rd strike player..
steven contreras I’ve been waiting so long for someone to say that

Esam was working his butt off and I heard MAYBE 2 positive things said about him.

ANOTHER ONE
I’m looking for the commentary team that said dk snuck a milly rock in his stun animation
Hey 2021 people, remember that time esam almost lost to a donkey kong
Eyyyyy
This commentary is just the smash community in general. People don’t care if your good at the game if you don’t play a low tier or a “sick” character. Yeah Pikachu is arguably the best character in the game and pretty campy when he needs to be, but that doesn’t mean that Esam deserves to be given any less praise than other PGR/ top players.
Guys, don't let the commentators distract you from how fucking sick this match was. Both players played beautifully: they kicked each other's asses with such amazing finesse and skill. Lovely
Konga: literally dies
Commentator: WHAT A GENIUS HES TRYING TO RESET THE FLOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
One of the best pikachus I’ve seen yet, thanks for the upload learned a lot as a pika main 😌
Why was everyone bias towards konga? I was rooting for esam the whole time.
I actually did the same
ESAM: intelligently combos the hell out of Konga
Konga: Grab -> Jump Off Ledge -> Throw -> Consider myself gud g8mer -> be slightly salty about getting dunked on and losing regardless -> rush out of the stage
The commentators trying to be hype over the Parries kind of kill it for me they are not that hard to do
Not to mention he lost because of it, ESAM took advantage and punished him for them parries.
Deadrocky he did not lose because of the parries, it’s plays a huge roll of not letting your shield getting eaten away and helps have something less to worry about. He was one stock away from winning, it came down to the matchup in the end props to both
@@Deadrocky yeah ESAM was quick to notice and use that to his advantage. He's so good!! Konga is sick too tho!!
Robert Wood at that high of a level and with the speed of pikachu and even the double parries he pulled off are not easy to pull off lmfao. The commentators were too hype IMO but those parries definitely took some skill
They are hard to do bro or you'd be seeing them everywhere, it takes tons of practice
Konga: *Makes 30+ parrys*
Esam while edgeguarding: "Parry this you fucking casual"
Esam is def one of my all time favorite smashers. I love his pikachu play. So good.
This commentator is just a Konga fan
The parries 💀
Lol
"Fighting with the spirit of 10,000 Harambes" I'm keeping that for life lol. Thank you
At 10:58 Esam kills konga and they are still talking about how smart Konga played
They do it again at 19:18
I get that Konga is the home team, but come on guys
@@TARINunit9 What? There's a total of 2 examples mentioned here of him doing this, despite them constantly complimenting ESAM. Just rewatch the video listening to nothing but the commentary and you'd realise that they are constantly complimenting ESAM's play, only stopping to yell about a flashy thing conga did or about something bad one of the players did. They hardly compliment conga on anything except the flashy stuff. Just because everyone in the comments is jumping on the bandwagon of saying this doesn't mean you need to also.
@@finmin2k No it's actually pretty bad with the Konga cheerleading
TARINunit9 "no you're wrong I'm right" just actually rewatch the video (which you've not possibly had time to do since I posted my comment) and notice that their commentary is as it should be (apart from getting slightly too hyped over parrys)
@@finmin2k Your perception is skewed because Konga wins the first round. The commentators use that as an excuse to jump on Konga's dick and never get off
Konga: Fucking dies
Commentators: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT INSANE PARRY
Cargo back throw instead of down throw
THE MIXUP!!!
I like how Esam fails to acknowledge the existence of Pikachu’s side B
19:12 esam: *does a good move*
Commentator “that was very smart on konga’s part
I love DK's flair in this game. Like just watch 16:12 - that twirl landing at the end of his Up-B is just so smooth
Never saw that before lol
1:18 knowing Esam can play like me sometimes gives me hope.
A year ago, I used to think how biased this is. Now I get it. This match up is disgusting trash and the dude took the first game off esams pika with DONKEY KONG! Of course ur gonna get hype for the guy with the HUGE disadvantage
thank youuu bro i remember everyone hating on these commentators and complaining about the hype towards konga like its dk vs pikachu 😐😐
@@rafaelalegria406 agreed!
These are some really biased casters lol
one of my favorite matches to watch so far. great job guys!
Somebody please let Konga know that you can directional air dodge into the edge. That makes DK way harder to edge guard.

I will also tell him these 2 equations:

2. Being a sarcastic douche = you.

So much more respect for DK.... ESAM just plays one of the (if not the) best character in the game. Harder to respect that.
Take a shot everytime a smash 4 player picks smashville in ultimate
ANOTHER ONE.
We get it. You like the deejay Kahled
Esam did a whole ass 60% damage combo and got no comments on it lmao??
Pikachu combo ing a DK is nothing special, he has a big body and easy juggle lol.
Commentators were gargling sack every time Konga did something mildly impressive, ESAMs pikachu is untouchable I swear
This was an amazing match and (disregarding the commentary) I see a lot of complaints on both characters. Match up didnt seem one sided at all.
Kongas playstyle is smart. He isn't reckless and he makes great decisions on his moves. You can tell he has great experience with Donkey Kong. I used to main him. So I can see his style and definitely can see his experience with him. Probably the best Donkey Kong. I like Hikaru. But I have to give it up to Konga on having a strong, smart and technical Donkey Kong. 👍
Edit: Like he picks his moves and is patient when dealing with stuff. He knows when to attack and what moves to do. He isn't flow chart. Also his parry game helps Donkey Kong when wanting to get hits in. This is what I got from him on this match.
For all those who say the commentators are biased, it’s konga’s home town
Yeah, the only thing is that they completely ignored Pikachu. They would hardly commentate on him.
@@whitneyl.1856 did you fucking listen to the commentary? They didn't yell and get super hype about what he was doing cause most of what he was doing wasn't very flashy but they spent most of the commentary complementing ESAM and saying about how well he's playing and about how swell the last thing he did was. I get that everyone in the comment section is saying this one thing and so you get free likes for this but holy shit if you actually listened to the commentary and counted how much time they spent complimenting each player you'd realise this.
@KeyMeUp that's the plan.
Pika combos are so pleasing to watch 😌
18:30-18:40
Commentators: *nonexistent*
Konga: gets an easy parry
Commentators: *AS YOU CAN SEE KONGA USES HIS SMARTS TO HIS ADVANTAGE IN MATCHUPS LIKE THIS*
what really showed the obvious bias was when neither commentator even MENTIONED ESAM looping around under the stage at around 14:26
That is neither especially hard, nor especially useful, which is why ESAM rarely uses it. He usually only goes for that like once in a match, to hopefully surprise his opponent
Hype af set
Watching these gets me hyped
Commentator 1: "Really liking the drifts"
Commentator 2: "Yeah, great plays from ESAM"
cOmmENtaTOr 3: "I imagine that was a mis-input from Konga 🥴🥴🥴"
I was so pissed whenever that commentator dick rode konga
70% combo by ESam
(Silence)
Konga: Grabs and then throws, a very basic maneuver
Commentator: OH MY GOD THE DOWN THROW!
Honestly the more I watch this video, the more salty I get about how garbage and biased at least one of the commentators is.
Konga: Does a very easy parry on a slow projectile
That one commentator: oH MY GoD dID YoU sEE ThAt PaRRy?!!?!!!

Commentators: …
Konga: presses one button
Commentators: OMG what a god!!!!
Who else wanted to root for Konga at first but then the commentators ignoring Esam's amazing plays made you switch sides?
The reason the commentators were hype about Kongo was due to the fact DK is not and easy character to use in the matchup,
Konga would have won if not for going for grab kills off stage. Game 2 was his easily.
In The Beginning I guess when you try to play cheap you get punished for it

Not playing cheap, he just can't execute.
Everyone’s mad that DK is more fun to watch than pikachu. Even esam said pika is braindead.

Caster bias is real
we all know esams good he was seeded first place. Of course ever1 wants the underdog to win
yung frisbee yeah but the bias in here Wasabi ridiculous esam was playing perfectly at times
@@watchsuperville5io a caster isn't supposed to go "awww" everytime someone he likes dies lol. Thats just ridiculous and unprofessional. Its obviously very hard 2 b unbiased but as a caster u gotta be as neutral as possible.
I dont think this event had the serious factor to it that future events will proven by the lack of pro atendees and "pro" commentators. They were prob just on the commentary having fun i know vish and the other guy only do it occasionally
@@watchsuperville5io Vish does it quite a bit actually, this isn't the only game he is a caster for
Not sure why everybody's complaining about commentator bias. They give esam credit where it's due and to be fair Konga definitely had his parries down.
Despite of all the other excellent escenarios they always choose that same shitty place of Town and City.
