I honestly don’t see it that way at all.. Ultimate has a huge roster and certain matchups can be very punishing, even if one of the characters is considered low tier and the other isn’t fox’s frame data is insane and he’s obviously a very powerful character overall, but he’s super lightweight whereas Ganon is heavy and can delete fox’s stocks with one or two good hits even at low-mid %s
@@lokks2130 well yeah it's a weird ass set. Low tier ass Ganon beating the best fox player who even back then was arguably top 10. It's not something you see everyday. It's like seeing HBox's Melee Ness beat Mang0's Falco it's just stranhe but the fact he's doing so good proves that he's able to move past his missteps and grow from them to become a stronger player.
What a great tweet by that fan. It was respectful but at the same time holding Light accountable for his actions with a sincere criticism. Showing he cares and still calling him to action.
it’s either like some dude who’s joking or a young kid on twitter legit throwing his heart at light. Either or, Light went beast mode after that tweet was out 💪
No but i am saying if he saw he must have felt bad. I mean maybe the specific tweet didn’t give him drive, but possibly there were a lot of people who said similar things and that probs gave him motivation. But then again many people look back at what they have done and maybe he noticed it himself and said “i need to prove these people wrong”
Light tweeted recently, with an image of that tweet, "The only person to ever have a hold over me," or something along those lines, meaning he definitely did see that tweet and he definitely did take it to heart.
Light is literally the definition of Ultra Instinct. He has insane reaction, timing and precision. Most importantly, its is his sheer will power. He has the perfect traits for playing Fox. He's literally as quick and strong and determined as the main character of Star Fox
"32 second stretch" and "18 landing aerials" in the same sentence is shockingly quick gameplay, especially considering that he seems to consider his timing and mixups for each and every one and, as a result, none of these were punished in the moment. Actual anime character in real life, seeing the battle in slow motion (like we did in the video) is the only explanation XD
Man the quality on this channel is incredible. I legitimately feel like watching a TV sports show. Content of this kind is what makes a game feel like an eSports !
What’s interesting about Fox in Ult is that Japan always thought far more highly of the char than NA did. They thought this before Light became known for eliminating Japanese players(bar Shuton) in bracket, or even before Paseriman rose to prominence as a top 15-20ish level player in the JPN scene. Fox having those buffs plus doing well against most of the DLC outside of Terry and Steve went a long way for the char imo. Also some matchups like Joker became easier due to nerfs.
@@lokks2130 the joker MU doesn't even matter anymore there isn't a single decent consistent joker at Top level, the character just is too difficult in a tournament environment sometimes
@@morgydee Just because Zackray is on hiatus and Leo doesn't use Joker anymore, doesn't make the char inconistent at all. The other Joker's like Marss, Emass, or Omega just need to grind and improve Like Leo showcased an insane level of dominance with Joker, and Zackray was conistently top 3 in Japan with Joker when he wasn't on hiatus.
The Slow-mo shows that Light’s performance isn’t a fluke. You can see where he intentionally fast falls or adjusts his drift to whiff bait. Light is so good that he makes me dislike fox 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I’m a MKsexo fan but light has shot into my top 5 fav players. To do what he has been doing with Fox is incredible. The precision, speed, and timing you need to play this character at a top 5 elite level is nuts! Light is Fox, Fox is Light!
8:46 I absolutely love this sequence. Double jumping to avoid a punish after a whiffed aerial seems like an obvious choice in hindsight, but every time I watch this clip, the double jump catches me completely off guard. It's the kind of option that only Light would choose.
Loved that video. Sometimes I'm a bit annoyed by the implied statement that Correlation = Causality with a given set of data, but here it was really well exposed and explained. The visuals and chosen data were really relevant.
His run at a crews battle years ago is to this day one of my favorite runs ever. He had to take on Leo, he did so but with only one stock, had to take on Zackray after and he clutched it
U gotta stop blaming your character bro. Ur my fav player but be honest. You’ve been flopping. U hit a slump during rona era. You’re good just not at the level you were pre rona and now ur not making top8 at big tournaments. You’re scared. Embrace it. Practice more. I believe
@@enny1125 I agree Tweek seems to struggle lately. Still an incredible player, better than I could ever dream to be, no doubt about it, but not top 5 material tbh. I'm tempted to say Acola from Japan. But we still need to see how well he does against the west. The 5th place is up for the taking I think. There are a couple potential candidates like Kola, Dabuz, Chag, Maister, Gakt, Zomba... And of course Acola in my opinion. Maybe in the upcoming majors we will see someone be notably more consistant than the others. It needs to be someone that can actually beat the other top 4 occasionally.
It's crazy how well that tweet aged lol Sometimes I wonder just how much impact it had on light... Maybe it wasn't much but I know that tweet had something to do with his insane comeback to tournaments
I'm going to get flack for saying it, but his grind and honestly training with Nairo was what helped him improve so quick. Nairo is a phenomenal coach post controversy. Every player he's trained with/coached has improved exponentially. Cosmos won a major, Riddles has hit multiple top 8s/16., Nakat made it into Summit. Clearly training with his friends has clearly worked for him.
1:45 Honestly, from the start of this video Light kinda sounds like the kind of player beginners beat to be put on the map, kind of how the Powerhouse in a Five Man Band is constantly the one who gets beaten by the main villain in order to show how powerful the villain. I could be mistaken, though so far that is how he is being described. 4:40 okay, so far it seems that my assumption is correct.
Imo light is the best American player in the world atm. He’s a player that will take in criticism and use it as fuel. Other players will trash talk you but he earned my respect by proving it on the sticks. Although the streets will never forget the Nairo reverse 3 game on light.
And that's what happens when you get bodied. One random is in control of your life. Doesn't matter what you say or do, because none of the glory is yours. Failures are never forgotten, after all. To the Twitter user who posted that tweet; do not forget that at any time you can shake down Light for everything he has, and you won't be stopped.
Everyone needs to learn what port forwarding is. Wifi is an impractical toss-up without it, and always has been in literally every online game, ever. You can have latency free wireless with it, and without it even your wired internet can be garbage. Additionally, when the Nintendo Switch reaches ~34 degrees celcius, buffer lag becomes more noticeable, ruining combos or out of shield options.

There will never be a video on Light without a mention of the Nairo Ganon set. That set will hunt him into the grave at this rate lmao

I'd like to think light looked at the tweet and actually took it to heart

Light is just one of the most entertaining players to watch in this game. His sets regularly make me jump from my seat
He's the incarnation of hype I agree
can we talk about how clean some of the visuals/graphs were in this vid? absolutely love how the data was displayed at 7:47
Man the quality on this channel is incredible. I legitimately feel like watching a TV sports show. Content of this kind is what makes a game feel like an eSports !
Damn. Feels good to hear him referred to as the best player in the United States
Is there anyone else as consistent as light?
It’s all him. He’s shown it in and out of his tournaments
What’s interesting about Fox in Ult is that Japan always thought far more highly of the char than NA did. They thought this before Light became known for eliminating Japanese players(bar Shuton) in bracket, or even before Paseriman rose to prominence as a top 15-20ish level player in the JPN scene.

Nah once Marss Joker takes control it's game over for Light
I'm both an Mksexo fan and Light fan
Every character requires precision speed and timing at a top level. Fox isn't special for requiring fundamentals.

Smash Ultimate truly is the World of Light.
Good one 👍🏼
Love the narration, kudos to L4st
Glad they spent a few seconds on the Ganon match. Seeing that pop off and fish pump really brought back good memories...pre lockdown.
3:42 the flashbacks all ending with up smash is hilarious consecutively
Incredible video, and the intro is impeccable. Impressive shit.
Great video, the editing and research is appreciated

3:42 dude I realized something about fox
The year is 20XX but in ultimate. Light plays fox at tas levels of perfection.
So hype to see Light doing this well. Incredibly exciting for him and for the game as a whole!
His run at a crews battle years ago is to this day one of my favorite runs ever. He had to take on Leo, he did so but with only one stock, had to take on Zackray after and he clutched it

Glutonny, Leo, Light and Spargo are currently Smash Ultimate’s Four Horsement of Apocalypse. These four a in a class of their own.
Exactly these guys are above the rest
who would you put at #5??
I think Maister maybe?

I love this new version of light. Hes so fucking good! and fox has honestly moved up the tier list!
It’s cool seeing Fox still do good. I remember the first ever ultimate major with JaySon winning with Fox.
Fox is top 10 and always has been.
Top 20.
He dies to easily and gets his recovery exploited
Gotta love the Upsmash finish.
I showd this to my granddad and he shit himself
Excellent video
Love the Fox engine reference.

Hey! Curious how you got the stats on moves thrown out per game. Did you watch footage and count by hand or is there an existing data source for that?
Its the moist buff
Without the big 3 attending this tourney was too easy for Light.
He is great but Light is yet to win a tournament where both Leo and Sparg0 are there
And Gluto
@@enny1125 Gluto is apart of the Big 3.
Foxes biggest issue is the gravity penalty introduced in Brawl. Thats a fucking fact.
I’ll never forget about nairo ganon
"and i took that personally"
the player
This story is amazing.
it's crazy how fox with his one confirm (nair usmash) still kills way earlier than chars like sheik who have like a billion set ups
consistency >>>
not disagreeing, but my may arrayz attacking sheik every opportunity he gets lmao😂
and imma keep doin it that character mad overrated bro
@@lokks2130 where do you even have shiek on the tier list?
Yeah because nair upsmash is broken as fuck
@@voodooedits785 top 30 or a bit lower
"Light is using Fox backair more"
Jokes aside I love that Light is doing amazing now, hes great to watch play
I just want to say Fox is simple because some people can't handle that fact and erroneously think it detracts from Light's skill.
I think fox has unlocked lights potential but as a fox main myself wifi can be brutal VS fox
I like the Bhagavad Gita quote thrown in there...
Imo light is the best American player in the world atm. He’s a player that will take in criticism and use it as fuel. Other players will trash talk you but he earned my respect by proving it on the sticks. Although the streets will never forget the Nairo reverse 3 game on light.
PG Stats mentions Esam along the likes of Marss, MKLeo, and Nairo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want to see Shuton vs Glutto in grands for BBC4
“Since this tournament light has won 23 tournaments and missed top 8 in only one”
Light does carry fox lol
Maister tweeted a while ago he not going to battle of bc 4

Wanted to watch the Armada video but I ended up getting here early
same lol. they’ve been pumping out great content lately
3:42 ok what the hell is with all the up smash kills. Ik fox has one of the strongest up smashes in the game but sheesh
38th strongest, fwiw.
Oppenheimer reference
MISSION NO.1
BEAT TORNEMENT
GOOD LUCK
Love it
I hope slingshot is good for fox
never let this man complain about fox bair again
God of the new world
I would hope so after 3½ of playing the game at a professional level.
I see what you did with the title.
Make Fox great again !
So do we like Nairo now or is he still banned?
Still banned, but just because people aren’t allowed in the community anymore doesn’t mean they never existed
calling all netplay "wifi" really mashes my buttons.
Lmao all those clips of light winning are up smash
larry lurr
It's funny to see his loser's run at smash con 2021 with just up smash kills
Fox is a bad character though, if you want to test your ability to tolerate frustration I recommend using fox.
Smash online is quite shit
He won a competition without leo, spargo, or glutto lets relax 😂
Casual spectator 😂
So Light was right his character sucked and once it got those buffs he reached new heights.
How are people still pronouncing is "Gl-oot-onny
That’s how you pronounce the name. The sin, Gluttony, has two t’s and one N whereas the player’s name is Glutonny, with one t and two n’s
Just get good fr
Yeah this Light guy seems aight. I'd prob wash him tho
