There were so many times that Ally's airdodges could have been punished holy crap. Ally tended to airdodge towards the ledge whenever he was offstage or whenever Pika/Corrin was level with him, it would have been child's play to bait and punish that. ESAM threw out a lot of unsafe Dragon Lance shenanigans in neutral such as 4:30, his Bairs were kinda telegraphed (not to mention unsafe to throw out), kept using aerial approaches against Mario's shield, and got regrabbed a lot for using counters to try and get out of utilt combos. He just threw out a lot of unsafe stuff in neutral and Ally literally just waited in a shield and then punished. Also, Ally tended to bait a lot of stuff, while ESAM was kinda telegraphing. I hate playing against Mario too though, more than I hate Bayo, so I can understand why he would throw out Corrin.
Luceloupgarou The air dodging off stage is not actually as punishable as you think it is. Players have tried punishing it before. It allows for safe ledge grabbing since and it forces the player to take risk off stage by wasting a jump. Plus, Ally can always counterattack with any aerial or the up special, since it has decent hitbox and usually snaps the ledge.
Masterfully played matchups by Ally. He paused his up tilt string knowing the Corrin counter was coming multiple times. Same with Pika's frame 1 thunder
This is why Ally is top 10 in the world currently. I mean, this guy has eliminated ZeRo himself from a few tournaments. He is the one player with the most amount of wins against ZeRo, as a matter of fact.
+mikeymurd3r What r u talking bout? both of them are pro players. Honestly Ally deserves much more respect. Esam counterpicked Ally with Corrin. Ally showed his Mario is too good for the counterpick thus forcing him to switch to his main.
+Bleyken I wasn't trying to disrespect Ally. Esam is not a good Corrin, so the matchup is moot. I was just giving him props for doing well against the best Mario player, while Mario is Pika's worst matchup
Time it correctly. If you’re able to immediately fast fall with a buffered Side-Special, or if you wait half a second approximately, then it comes correctly
2:34 OP MUCH?! I mean, I wouldn't have been so surprised if it was a lightweight character, but launching Mario that far at that percent? Woah... I bet it would kill Bowser sub-100% too.
ESAM's Corrin is still raw, but I feel like he's playing on autopilot. He needs to think a bit more, be less aggressive on Mario. Space, don't go for him to attack at every landing, use your sword advantage. The counters were also far too many, and those F-smashes at the ledge were oftentimes too close to get anything done or KO even if they hit.
1:02 Okay, that is something I HATE hearing about among the Smash community. Judging someone solely on which gender they choose for their character is just wrong, and I see it ALL THE TIME. Male Corrin users are almost non-existent, so I think it's nice to see some representation. Same thing goes for other multi-gendered characters, too. No gender of Robin, Wii Fit Trainer, or Villager is simply "better" than the other. Just because someone uses the less popular gender choice doesn't mean you have a right to judge them for their decision. Sorry if it seems like I'm over-reacting, I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Good to see some people aren't so freaking judgemental because one does not share the preferences of the majority. As someone who uses frequently male Robin, being called gay because you sometimes prefer male versions of characters instead of female gets really annoying...
+KoolioKenneth Both Corrins look bad to me. I used the orange female Robin because I didn't like any of male's colours. If the male Robin had some palettes I liked, I'd play him. As for WFT and Villager, never played them. Most reasons for playing the female is because "waifu". Weebs lol :-)
+KoolioKenneth then who are you to go judging me for picking the more popular gender? exactly man double standards just let people do what they wanna do and don't go hating about it.
CoMaToast _ To change the stage music. They had to do it this way since otherwise they risk taking a loss (a no contest screen counts as a loss to whoever activated it)
ally is so crazy. réaction time and reads christ
D1 is the best commentator.
hmmm
I was rooting for esam, that last round was so tense!
God...now I just want to hear this statement being spoken aloud. "Should Corrin's counter be used as an anti anti-air against AnTi's anti-air..?"
18:29 that wispy assist though
Waifu counterpic is not effective
But it's male corrin...
TheDevious Then he switched to the female. Watch the whole match.
+Steven Bowser Pikachu isn't female Corrin idiot
Are people really stupid that they missed the 3rd set, of female waifu failing?
The denial is real.

+JJ Diaz Yep, he has good awareness as a player. That's how he does so well amirite XD
That type of gameplay is what it took to play snake in Brawl.
Ain't that the truth
The Ally magic
This is why Ally is top 10 in the world currently. I mean, this guy has eliminated ZeRo himself from a few tournaments. He is the one player with the most amount of wins against ZeRo, as a matter of fact.
19:32 Hahahha Esam is like: Yeaaah I took this man to Game 5 xD
Give it up for Esam doing pretty well with pikachu against a pro player using his worst matchup
+mikeymurd3r What r u talking bout? both of them are pro players. Honestly Ally deserves much more respect. Esam counterpicked Ally with Corrin. Ally showed his Mario is too good for the counterpick thus forcing him to switch to his main.

Love seeing Corrin in action. I don't see him (/ her) too much.
Much respect for using male Corrin in a sea of overused female corrins
+Scale Tipper IKR Idk why everyone hates Male Robin so much I like his voice, and also that black hair/white mage palatte swap is DANK
+Soma Cruz I agree. Male Robin voice is the best voice I've ever heard.
IKR? why female? "Oh male version has an annoying voice"
female robin voice is bad.
male corrin has green color, female corrin doesn't, why would anyone pick female corrin is beyond me.
Esam has the greatest hair!
I didn't know ESAM played Corrin! And he's pretty good!
6:23 Why?
Dillon Smith to end the game
Dillon Smith wrong stage
I don't care what you think about esam, he's always a good sport and smiling at the end
Locus
Not always a good sport. Have you never heard of his grudge match against Larry?
18:39 "the crowd chanting Esam once again" Is that commentator hard of hearing? I'm pretty sure that crowd was chanting Ally.
Great set I fucking love how good of a sport esam is he's always fun to watch no matter the outcome
2:35
Talk about taking a "bite" out of the competition.
Okay... so let's settle the controversy, what is the best stage on Duck Hunt?
This might sound stupid but how do you do the dragon lunge that sticks to the floor? When I do it it just sticks in the air
Water Emblem Either press B twice really fast, or press A immediately after pressing B. It has to be super fast - just roll your finger over.
Time it correctly. If you’re able to immediately fast fall with a buffered Side-Special, or if you wait half a second approximately, then it comes correctly
Esam plays much better when he's patient. Really impressive when he proved that with the Pika switch
2:34 OP MUCH?! I mean, I wouldn't have been so surprised if it was a lightweight character, but launching Mario that far at that percent? Woah... I bet it would kill Bowser sub-100% too.
He was in the air
Corrin had rage
The move has good KBK
Ur really dumb if you think that move is op
Hehe the last part was unnecessary. But what do you expect from a sad fanboyish comment like that?
Nah, only Corrin’s counter is OP *kills at 0%*
Respect for male Corrin
ESAM's Corrin is still raw, but I feel like he's playing on autopilot. He needs to think a bit more, be less aggressive on Mario.

Tablespooner EsquireKo moo miss miss miss missm miss
He barely used counters, what are you even saying
exccuse my ignorance, but why are there two characters missing in the roster?
supericy06 there isn't lol
Anime Fan on Prom Night yeah I just realized hahaha sry
supericy06 nothing to be sorry about man, just a mistake
Damn Ally really knows how to counter pikachu. Props to him for the effort
Bryan Liang Mario pikachu is a shuper bad matchup lmao

I honestly mix it up with those characters, both genders have amazing colours.
+KoolioKenneth then who are you to go judging me for picking the more popular gender? exactly man double standards just let people do what they wanna do and don't go hating about it.
+Sage Dragoon He's not judging you for picking the more popular one, he's judging them for judging someone based off what gender they choose.
last game looking like 64.
Now that we know changing the music at a tournament is allowed, PLEASE make dreamland 64 have the original song
You're apparently the only one that didn't know already lol
***** i just get aggravated whenever i hear ice cream island play lol
+Ultra Kirby Planet Popstar is the best song on that stage tbh
Negative Infinity nah dream land theme ftw
+Negative Infinity that's a weird way to spell fountain of dreams
I wanted ESAM to win until 1:42.
ESAM after losing: FAAAAAAAK!
What is the weird thing that Ally does with his head? He like shakes it up down. Kinda weird
Don’t see many counters in tournaments
hmmm...
That corrin counter pick seems to be going pretty well
Why do they kill themselves instead of just ending the game through pausing?
Maybe they turned off pausing during matches.
Pretty sure pause is turned off for tournaments
+Dat ain't Falco Oh sorry, didn't know they could turn off pausing.
It’s illegal to pause during tournaments.
Yo, quit disrespecting Swan Recital. That shit's my jam.
No one I want to win, ever wins
TURN OFF SWAN LESSON? YOU MONSTERS!
why did they kill themselves
CoMaToast _ To change the stage music. They had to do it this way since otherwise they risk taking a loss (a no contest screen counts as a loss to whoever activated it)
should change title to Corrin/Pikacu.
Great match from both players :)
+רון פולק
He did at 9:55 ...
+רון פולק
Did you watch the same video I did? Esam used Pika for games 4 and 5.
Aaaaye!I see you Esam pickin' up my (opposite of wiafu)
Husbando.
Deeyow
Husbando
Male corrin is also my husbando, which is why I main him.
Damn, Ally got really savage
Just waiting for some random dude to say something like
"Melee is better" just to be a hater.
ESAM could have won if mixed up his get up options
Why do people like female corrin so much?
Why don't you
Because male corn is absolutely disgusting with that god awful voice
Male Corrin looks dumb, female Corrin looks cool
+Deviljho Because they need to make up for the girls they can get in real life
+Mega Lucario That pretty much sums it all up.
So much feels O_O
Allys mario is the best honestly. Damn!
I'm disappointed in his Corrin skill.
Gotta love those pay2win dlc chars
+unapologetic asshat Gotta love mob mentality.
Gotta love chocalate cookies.
+unapologetic asshat so dum
Lol everytime I watch esam he loses
Roman Alexander You must watch him a lot...
Watch him in Civil War. He eliminated Ally.
Dear Esam,
Never Dair with Corrin again, like ever.
Thank you,
The Community.
Weeeellll dair offstage then footstoole is something I'd welcome with open arms!
its good for ledge guard as they get up from the ledge
Famicom medley is shit compared to ' Let the battles begin'
ally deserved the 1 game
Yoshi
mario is definetly a noob Charakter
- corrin isn't better but...
Mario is in my opinion the best beginner character for any recruit to this game! But Mario is still more than capable of being extremely good.
666 likes!
O
ive never seen corrin gameplay, and im already bored of him/her
ally pls... staph.... grabbing.... so much...
+Pipe Clv It's Mario. Most of the stuff Mario does is from grabs and throws.
First
Esam sucks
I don't care what anyone says. Corrin is definitely the cancer of ssb4
Esam and ally are some of my favorite players but esam disappointed me with cordon as a counter pick and ally still heated him
so esam ia not lying when he saod he's gonna change his main
im a corrin main and i approve that esam sucks with corrin.
I hate the bite
+AfricardoBaby x I just love the crunch
