Dude, Miya’s movement and option coverage here was insane. Completely smothered Acola.
Well deserved win!
congrats to miya, he became maybe the player with the best MU knowledge against steve in the world, he deserves to take this
MU knowledge wise he is totally the best. Sparg0 may have better results but Miya just knows the niche stuff a lot.
He’s the best at making use of this MU. Otherwise sparg0 hands down has down on acola for now across the board
Sparg0's gameplan is relatively simple:
1. Pressure and outspace acola's slow, mediocre-range Steve.
2. Force him into disadvantage.
3. Keep him there.
And it works, because 1. Sparg0's spacing is 2nd only to Leo, and 2. His advantage state with Cloud is the best in the world.
An extremely deserved win. Congratulations to both players, what a heart pumping set.
Congrats too miya, he played really well this set.
And to acola don't worry, you need to lose every now and then, else you have nothing to improve on.
I think this is the first time I have seen Miya abusing the FUCK out of the fair bombs to break through, kinda like how he did against Dabuz at smashcon. This is just a joke, but imagine if it was truly good ol Dabuz the wake up call but regardless🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m not saying I dislike Acola but in the nicest way possible, seeing him lose here was kinda nice. Felt good that someone else in Japan won an event over him
Yeah I'm always happy when a Steve gets beat. I can't stand Steve
Whenever a Steve loses I'm happy. Nothing personal against acola
@petrinonelson1992 absolutely, I think it's important to separate the person from the character that they are using. I have nothing against Acola, I just hate Steve with every fiber of my being
Love ya Miya! Worked so hard to get this win. Let's gooo!
@@acekingdom5050i also was mad by spoilers, i’m on mobile so the first thing I see is the top comment showing saying “congrats to MiYa” and I wanted to witness it in real time, I wish people did Spoilers and a couple Enter/Return spaces
@@alexneuman600Turn your phone as the video starts, isn't that common knowledge by now? Shouldn't have to, but that's just the way it is.
Love these commentators! Made the event even more hype, wanna see more of these guys
Thanks VGBC and Production at Kagaribi for the event! This Tourney was beyond amazing and incredibly stacked! Ofc Thanks to the players for all making it out. Hope the next Kagaribi can replicate this turnout of a master piece
Congrats to Miya as well for the bracket run and finally beating that Steve blockade
ラストゲーム、ラストストックの弱連は強い気持ちが感じられてとても良い
Well deserved.
The year is 2023, a character gets so much hate that GnW becomes a hero. Please show this to people in 2019 🤣
@@C0rruptedSpYSteve making G&W look like Vegeta out here 💀
gnw hate wasnt that strong back then, it become stronger when miya started dominating
@@daimajin266 The Amount of hate Maister has had back in 2019 was pretty hard...
Seeing these grand finals live was wild, congrats to Miya for this W
What a way to block Steve, congrats to Miya. The match was crazy!
The fact that Miya barely lost a game the entire tournament in one of the biggest tournaments in smash history shows that not only is he undoubtedly the best GnW in the world, he’s also a contender for the best player in the world period. His gameplay was simply mind blowing.
Miya's gameplay here is the highest quality smash ultimate gameplay we've seen this far. I'm not kidding! If he keeps playing like this I can't see who could stop him this year.
All these commenters spoiling the results with the first few words of their comment
Commentators were enjoyable in my opinion 👏👏
Miya has been putting some work these recent tournaments
2019 G&W was a hated bully... Now 2023 G&W out here fighting the good fight and here taking down Steve.
G&W = Vegeta
This might actually be the greatest game and watch set ever played. Miya was as close to perfection as it is feasible to get in these matches.
So happy for miya
These guys are making each other sooooo strong on a weekly basis, things will be very rough for everyone else the next time they come to a tourney in the US
Miya is coming to Rise&grind in a couple of days and he's seeded to play Mkleo at the start of top 8! This will be an exciting test for him.
LETSGOOO congrats Miya!
Wow, that's some major skill. Nice show from both Acola and Miya.
MIYA, MIYA, MIYA!!! 🥇🙌🏼
Amazing smothering / aggressive GnW gameplay
My god Miya is one scary player to play against. He can make top 10 players look clueless at times
Dope!
Great win !
Commentating was amazing
G&W is a really good againat Steve. You need safe aerials, shield pressure, juggling tools, and the best upb in the game, but it's doable!
Funny flat man vs funny block man, classic matchup… as a fellow gnw main im mad happy for miya
Which one you would think could win... The best character design 😆
Bruh I've never seen someone willingly get juggled so much
I still sometimes think about the days in the beginning of smash ultimate when people thought game and watch was trash
Miya took the block man down BABY!
Miya stays the best player in the world. Nobody else could ever make it work with G&W
top10以外の選手にポロッと負けてるイメージがミーヤーにはあったけど、今大会はwinnersまで全勝…決勝のあの動き見てたらその理由は全て分かったよ。
おめでとうミーヤー🎉
Now acola is gonna implement the buffs
Bro hasn't even implemented NILs. If he actually implements all the broken crap it's over
@@thecapitalisticdictator2256NILs are difficult, MAD and crud are a lot easier to do so I’d be surprised if Acola doesn’t use them
@@xanander4693why would you be surprised? He's not going to use them. If he starts using either of those 2 things, the scales will tilt even further in the "ban Steve" direction. I wouldn't use them, because Steve is his meal ticket.
@@Lancer1369Id be surprised bc the tech is really easy. It’s not a matter of banning Steve bc ppl in Japan aren’t wusses like the USA. Also majority of the Steve bans are only in the USA.
@@Lancer1369 The majority of the tournaments that Acola won don't have prizes because Japanese tournaments never do. Besides, I doubt he plans to turn Smash into his longterm job.
It's not even that Miya made G&W look broken, it just looked like absolute skill.
Miya might become top 1 at this rate
Miya played out of his mind this entire tournament. I don’t think he even dropped a game until winner’s finals.
ミーヤーのプレイが一番好き
miya has to work so much harder it's actually painful to watch, huge ggs
watching miya win here made me so happy
Both you who immediately leak the match results and those who try to read the comments without watching the match are both stupid.
It is so damn unfortunate that Nintendo gave up on patches so early in the games life. Youd think smash would be the one game they updated with patches from time to time.
Lets go Miya!! You earned it!
Anyone know how old they are?
Miya had to have trained in the hyperbolic time chamber.
first time i feel thankful that mr game & watch has some crazy bullshit on his side. very dominating win from miya
I haven't played Smash seriously since covid forced everyone to play online. When I heard that the current two best players played Steve and Game and Watch, I was kind of expecting a snooze fest, but these guys went crazy.
Mama Miya here we go again
Peak G&W. Good casters
LETS GO MIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
First, Sparg0 comes up short at ReWired. Then, this. This was quite the weekend for upsets, huh?
There's a big difference between Sparg0 getting fourth at some b tier event, losing to a top 15 and a top 10 player, vs Acola getting 2nd at a P tier, losing twice to a top 3 player.
That’s how you know acola is dominant. Getting 2nd at super major is considered coming up short.
@@legrandliseurtri7495Theres also a difference between playing consistently against 6/10 of the top players in the world at nearly every tournament and losing to random unranked Bayonetta player at local too.
@@legrandliseurtri7495mute ace and light are arguably just as good Miya what a bad take
Congrats Miya :)
2D man vs 3D man
Finally the better player wins! Congrats Miya!
The caster with the euro accent had something against the other 2 casters lmao.
❤!
acola won 🎉🎉
Man Japan is too respectful lol. Popoff Miya! You deserve to! Japanese players need to be more like Gackt lol.
It's absolutely INSANE how hard miya had to work for this win while Steve players can cradle their balls in 84/86 matchups
Congrats Miya for beating Acola in winners side and in grands!
Wow Miya didn't even let Acola breath. Crazy.
14:00 damn
Miya embodied the rage from the smash community in this set.
Sorry to get so excited, but Miya isn't mad at Steve, and he's using Steve too. I think you're the only one who's angry at Steve. Let's refrain from saying things like Miya said that.
@@aiai-yb8gttf u mean nobody is angry at Steve. Literally everyone hates that character
@@nathannavarro1177 What about Onin, DDEE, Jake, Yonni, Ddog, Apple, WhyDo, Pango, etc.... yeah bet " *nobody likes Steve* " , more like you didnt look up who mains him and assumed everyone hate steve because YOU and a part of the community hate steve.
@@remtmywell, people who abuse it like the character, makes sense. Watch hbox video talking about results from those players before and after steve came out
Bruh Miya just dominated that whole set. Against Steve. Never seen such smothering play. Shit was way too fast. おめでとう、ミーヤー。
This was not just a win, this was total domination. Miya is insane!
Feels like Steve has the power of incineroar, the speed of mythra, the frames of marth and the cheese of melee puff
@@Moegivesmelife But I mean if you consider how fast Steve can get onto stage in disadvantage or better said how fast he can get out of disadvantage, he should be even faster than mythra lmao
Miya had literally go ape, literally play out of his mind just to win. Acola cant really handle that pressure as well and just kept doing the same thing. Im just being frank, no harm to him at all.
I don't watch much of Acola or Steve plays in general, but I'm assuming he just wasn't used to characters having to play so aggressively against him to the point he can't even return to the stage, let alone mine anything. Miya and Sparg0 are the main two I see who back him into this kind of corner where he really struggles
@@MannyUzukiAgain, I mean no harm to acola, But sadly he's a one trick pony.
@@jpc7795Nah, i just think the counterplay is getting better. Even if he is a one trick, he seems to beat everyone with it
Acola really wasn't doing the same thing tho. He mixed up the timing and placement of his minecarts and up-b a lot and he used blocks to make his movement less predictable. Miya was just playing even better this set.
@@legrandliseurtri7495you realize you only listed like 3 things Steve has to change up right? I wish my character was "do the same thing over and over, it will work, just switch up the timing of 3 things." Meanwhile game and watch out here pressing every button he has all the time.
God bless that Game & Watch!
Game and watch is busted but I'm happy to see steve lose
say what you will about the characters, this was an awesome set
Why tf are there 4 commentators talking over each other thou
Acola should understand by now his character is very broken…Even if he’s really skilled with the char…It’s why I would like to see him be more cheerful for the opps that beat him!
let’s go miya!!
BANスティーブ論争の問題は、スティーブがそんなに強いというのなら、スティーブを使えばいいだけなのに、上位プレイヤーのほとんどは自分はスティーブを使わないところだ。
それだけ批判しておいて、自分がスティーブを使って勝てなかった場合、何も言えなくなるからだろう。
批判をするのなら、スティーブを使って優勝してから言って欲しいものだ。ほら、スティーブを使えばこんな簡単に優勝できちゃうんだせ?ってな。それもしないで、ただただ批判するのは、自分の実力がないのを認めているだけだ。
自分たちがほんのちょっと我慢して最強キャラで大型大会勝ち続ければ良いだけなのに、なぜかあcolaにスティーブと比べたら弱過ぎるらしいキャラで大型大会優勝することを求めるの不思議すぎる
MiYa does play steve, that’s why he probably has the best matchup knowledge in the game
Nobody needs to get good results with steve to say steve is broken, if his kit, tech and framedata is just the best of the game by a REALLY WIDE MARGIN, its brokeness is obvious And most players dont play with steve because they dont want to pick it, not because they cant, these are the main reasons: steve released in one of the last dlcs, meaning most players already had established mains, some people dont want to play with busted characters because of their standards (also happened a lot with smash 4 bayo) and also because he doesnt play the same game as the other characters, old players would have to relearn how to play smash, because steve plays his own game to the point the point where even some fundamentals change a lot and some dont have the patience to go through this whole process of learning again
And, even considering this, steve has BY FAR, the best results and placements in the games competitive scene, if you removed acola steve would be the number 2 character in terms of results, while if sonic, the number 2 character in terms of results, had its number 1 player removed from tournaments, it would drop something like 10 places in the ranking, thats how insane steve results are when compared to other characters, and that is considering steve players arent that common for the reasons i listed
Id say that its a matter of time till we see a lot of other steves popping up and running rampage across the top competitive scene
Good Ending: Steve lost.
Bad Ending... Acola Lost...
I want to ask one of the toughest questions where are the female announcers. It just hit me every time I hear a finals a grand finals tournament being called it’s always guys where are the ladies or do women not play smash. I’m just thinking out loud here. I’m a guy wondering why don’t we have more females, announcing these shows.
14:11 a bit sus, m8?
14:00 ??????????????? commentators?
I see steve lose, I like the video
@@DonGuillesito no. I’m mad at broken ass unbeatable characters that have no weakness
Miya ftw representing our 2d boy 💪
Don’t want to discredit either player, I think they both played out of their mind, but I feel like acola slightly sandbagged or at the least it felt like his mind wasn’t so hard set on trying to win
I definitively disagree. Acola looked quite frustrated at the end. He gave everything he had and it wasn't enough this time.
15:34 ここら辺のあcolaゲッチの上スマに回避してるのやばすぎないか?w
14:11 LMFAOOOO amazing set, amazing players, amazing casters. i love it. miya was playing out of his mind, well deserved win 🫡
Steve Slayer Miya
I guess now people are gonna say G&W counters steve super hard and how G&W is a top 2 character. See, this is what people needs to do, just study the Steve match up and pressure him, but no, instead "StEVe IS wAY ToO StRoNg. He Is UnBeAtAbLe"
Just because a character is beatable doesn’t mean they aren’t highly unbalanced.
G&W kit is crucial for the matchup. bucket for reflect. Up B to pop steve out of cart. Air juggling when steve doesn't have much air movement. StEVe IS wAY ToO StRoNg - G&W just has some good tools to step to it
@@baronb5103 It's -1 for G&W imo. Miya just worked on this matchup a lot.
Japan: We learn the matchup. 😊
Anywhere else: BAN STEVE CUZ WE DON'T LIKE ONLY ONE PERSON WINNING WITH HIM. ACOLA SUCKS. BAN STEVE. WE DON'T CARE IF ONLY ONE TOP PLAYER DOES WELL WITH HIM. BAN.
TL;DR: One tournament means nothing and doesn't change Steve as a character.

Yeah because this changes the fact that Acola could still dominate the next 20 majors and that only one player is able to do this every now and again barring sparg0 who obviously doesn't have the chance to play Acola as much. It also changes nothing about how much acola actually gets away with, by using steve. The misinputs, the sheer amount of smash attacks, the pressure he can exert and even for this game's standards: Mashing. Miya won against Acola CONVINCINGLY and it still felt like he just survived a sinking ship at the end of a game 4 GF. Of course, you could attribute that to winning such a stacked tourney but there's no doubt Steve, let alone the number one Steve, just stacks so much pressure against you by just sheer merit of the character. One missed input means EVERYTHING against this character- it's just that Acola is able to show that better than anyone else despite there being a small uprise of prominent Steves prior to Acola.
Japan didn't learn the matchup tho. This is one tournament out of like 15 that Acola won this year
Nah, I disagree the know the steve matchup. They just suck against acola when it matters
DOWN WITH STEVE
A Loveeeeeee Watch Acola Loss
Creative matches' salways good
Ban Steve? Ridiculous
Miya was so unbelievably good in this P TIER TOURNAMENT WITHOUT LOSING ONE GAME until winners final he met acola, the 1st player ranked. Yet he still won even it’s acola. It’s just soooooo crazy I’m not sure anyone in the history has done so amazingly like this. ❤❤❤Love and congrats to Miya🎉🎉🎉
