What a grand final. Both players played so damn great. So fun to watch. The crowd was amazing as well. Hurt was so close, he beats acola twice and still comes up second. But he’s a champ and a hell of a player
At the beginning of GF, the throne sits empty and the gods bleed. Who will take the crown? The fact that Mkleo and Spargo watch from losers side makes the narrative even more impressive.
After MiYa losing a massive upset to Hurt back at Delta 5, i’m really glad that MiYa has won the set this time around. Great job to MiYa for not only winning Kagaribi 12, but getting 2nd at Delta 8 too
I’ve said it before: when Miya plays at his best he’s on a level above anyone or anything else we’ve seen in Ultimate. If I he can find that gear more consistently then I can’t see who will stop him.
@@Scythra well… the point of my post was that if he could be be consistently playing at his highest level then it wouldn’t matter where he is. His highest performance is above Sparg0 and Shadic and anyone else I’m my opinion
Bro, Japans Piloting is top tier. Absolute peak and its not up for debate. Everyone has near if not perfect control over their characters and every game is intense. They also have more variety so you see more MU compared to here in the west whr its less variety.
13:23 I am so surprised hurt punished this jab with dash attack, it could’ve been a misinput but that was the free-est run up, up tilt ever. He would’ve got the bracket reset if he just recognized that, crazy how even the best players in the world can mess up on simple things like that, amazing run by hurt though, watching him beat acola made be very happy.
Yea he has to account for a ton dealing with Miya. No grenades which can be an easy habit for snakes but he turned it off entirely. I don't think AK would have been able to give Miya this much work while turning off grenades.
The fact that Hurt can switch play style is just amazing!! He be detonating grenades and C4 vs other characters but with GnW he be pressing more A button limiting his kit but still took it to game 5.
Rooting for hurt because hes playing with half his moveset. Hed be scarier than fuck if he had a top tier secondary that countered game in watch. His game is harder than almost all of the other top players in japan. Playing snake already requires a ton of game iq. People dont realize just how tricky snake is to play at a high level. His game plan is more complex.
I believe this is the first time since Maesuma top 11 where Acola didn't make grand finals of a Japanese major. He got eliminated by Miya and KEN at that tournament.
I like to fill the bucket and force gnw to approach. Hell always take a bunch of nade damage and then 2 hits will take him out. It makes the matchup 50-50 but you dont realize that when ur stock just dissappears from 1 button
@@pistarrafernandez9830 oh, I see what u mean. That because smash is a party game originally and can be played as an esports there are still party game mechanics that ruin the game in a competitive aspect. Steve is great for a party game but not for an esports competitive game.
Bomb man can’t use bomb because 2d man has a bucket. 2d man uses fish bowl, bombs, toot toots, and turtles to abuse bomb man. Bomb man forced to fly to ceiling and defend himself with strong and flexible limbs.
Seriously, Steve, Sonic, and Mr. Game & Watch ARE MONSTERS IN THIS GAME. THEY ARE SO GOOD WITH CONSISTENT WINS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. Steve lost ONLY BECAUSE HIS OPPONENT USED A CHARACTER WITH AN EXCELLENT COUNTERMEASURE AGAINST HIM, WHO SNAKES WITH HIS GRENADES. But, JUST FOR THAT. Afterwards, it is obvious that Snake would lose against Mr. Game & Watch, who is almost the third best character in SSBU with very good abilities and despite being light, Mr. G&W IS GOOD AND MAKES HONOR AND GOOD USE OF THE WORD LIGHT. It's about time, Mr. Game & Watch is the Grandfather of all in the world of video games, he deserved to be better in this installment after being so bad or mediocre in games prior to Ultimate. Also, I don't forget to mention that there is no perfect character in SSBU and that THERE IS NO REALLY GOOD CHARACTER WITHOUT A GOOD PLAYER BEHIND IT, MANAGING IT AS IT SHOULD BE AND TAKING OUT THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. Well deserved for Acola, Hurt and Miya to get THIS FAR FROM EVERYONE.
Hurt got robbed, that slot machine Judge 9 moment shifted momentum so hard. Miya is crazy good, but I honestly can't help thinking he didn't deserve this win in particular
@@lloydaran Doesn’t matter. When its last stock last hit it could always go either way. If anything the situation favored Hurt given the weight and kill power difference between Snake and GnW
The 9 was entirely legitimate and planned counterplay. Snake has a super slow up b, so Miya realized that he could just use Judgment on it every time (and he did it many more times throughout the set). Judgment is usually too slow, but Miya found a niche for it in this MU. Quite clever, really. The ability to have a consistent way to hit Judgment because of Snake's up b all but guarantees that he'll get a 9 at some point.
@@mercurysnake274 No, it couldn't. Mental, momentum and opportunities are all tied together. Also, the situation favoured the character with the losing matchup? Nah
The 69 God Combo that changed the entire outcome of the game...This was so tense watching it live holy damn
First
@@Pkey995first fcking what
I didn't notice watching live but at least Hurt had a big smile on right after the hit. Such a momentum shift though.
@@DeriqueDeCoux oh hey i remember you from larry stream lol. It truly was a huge momentum shift
@@corrinfevincenohr lol I just like saying random stuff.

I never thought we will ever see a grand finals without Acola.
Major props to both players. But Hurt especially I respect for going so far with such an abismal matchup
What an amazing Grand Finals 🤩🌟 !!!
I love the camaraderie between all the players in top 8 when they were taking a picture (and after).
This might be one of the greatest Grand Finals I have ever seen

What a set! Japan plays in another level. Congrats 🎉
I’ve said it before: when Miya plays at his best he’s on a level above anyone or anything else we’ve seen in Ultimate.
If I he can find that gear more consistently then I can’t see who will stop him.
Anytime he crosses to NA he loses to Sparg0 or Shadic, so he is only king in his country.
@@Scythrapower of being a swordie
@@ScythraHe's only lost to Shadic once. Their set count is even lol
@@Scythra well… the point of my post was that if he could be be consistently playing at his highest level then it wouldn’t matter where he is. His highest performance is above Sparg0 and Shadic and anyone else I’m my opinion
@@Scythra Spargo went on 33rd and didn't make it to top 8 in Delta. he's also only king in his country :)
NA is free, they weren’t lying
The double judge alone makes Miya deserving of the crown. Insane

Does anyone know what controller Hurt uses?
He uses an Atari controller 😂

Hurt is insane. Not being able to use your neutral b versus your opponent literally gambling for fun is crazy

Hurt 3 stock to the best player of the wold but he has so many problems vs Miya, the mu determinates everything in some cases
Top 5 Japanese players
5. Tamap Daifuku
4. Shuton
3. Hurt
2. Acola
1. Miya
hope I didn't forget anybody
Also Zackray,when he on focus like Kagaribi.
@@user-cz3cy9mk3u yeah but outside of Kagaribi he didn't do enough
I feel like no.5 should be Tea, Ken, or Yoshidora, although Tama is insane
Also acola I think is above miya, but it’s close enough that I can see the justification
@@idunnohonestly9519 I can see Ken and Yoshidora was top 10 world last year however tea doesn't have enough in 2024

Honestly seeing Snake beat Snake. I’m super satisfied

Steve: Spams blocks
Snake: Spams grenades

You can oversimplify any character like that
