As a Lucas main, I am taking *massive notes*
Should note that this matchup is very favorable for Lucas
@@Wista13how so? kazuya has a reflector and a projectile with easily the best range in the entire game, all with great i frames on virtually all of his moves -- not to mention the fact that most of his moves lead to kill confirms at literally all percents. what does lucas have? a longer grab and a slightly easier edge guarding sequence? pathetic character at best.
@@noonehere6994 I'm so glad you asked, since Lucas has arguably the safest projectile in the game and using pk fire limits what Kazuya can do to approach, especially if the Lucas player knows the wavebounce fire. Another thing to note that freeze can catch Kazuya offstage pretty easy in his recovery. Kazuya suffers against projectiles sure he can reflect but Lucas pancakes on his fire landing animation so no matter what, he cant get his fire reflected unless he's right beside him/ non jumping fire. And lastly he's forward air is so broken and so damn fast and yes your right he does have a significant grab range advantage so I'd say he's pretty favorable in the MU.
Edit: PSI Magnet also heals roughly 30 percent for Kazuya's neutral b and it's slow and if they do it offstage or when Lucas is recovering it's kinda an easy heal
@@Wista13 by the time the pk fire comes back reflected, the pancake frames are already over not to mention it doesn't get him low enough to avoid it in the first place.
Anyone who gets hit by pk freeze while recovering is always either 1. dumb and not varying their recovery enough or 2. was going to die to anything else anyway due to having spent all other resources
The forward air doesn't start combos from like 20% which is literally two moves away, and neither does it kill until like 160% on center stage -- far from OP or the best aerial in the game.
Grab and Zair by extension... sure yeah that's one of the best in the game I'll admit, 1 point. However, his throws don't start combos from 20% and the throws don't start killing center stage until like 180% which is *something*, I guess, but not the best throws still. It's only the range and the Zair that's good.
Magnet, I mean, you can maybe bait it out and get 30% back ONCE in a whole set and the opponent will never use it again. That's not much considering a best of 5 gives you 15 stocks to work with in total.
So that's only 1 point for lucas so far
@@Wista13 what all this means is that Lucas is very awkward at mid percents on stage, not able to start any damage combos OR kill confirms. As you can see on this video as well, pretty much all his kills are EXCLUSIVELY off stage.
Having your opponent off stage means that you are in the advantage state. Once in the advantage, making kills are easy and this is the norm -- it doesn't mean your character is better than the other.
The only on stage kill out of 12 total kills he made was at 10:39 where he jab locked. One. OUT OF 12.
And even that is not something unique to lucas anyway. As you may know basically all characters have jabs that can lock (jabs without this are the outliers), so this is not something that bumps lucas up the matchup advantage.
Kazuya? He can start kill combos at any percent at any place, on stage or not. Just needs to get in on the opponent which is easy to do since lucas is not the most powerful in terms of camping out the opponent.
Please also note that out of kazuya's 11 kills in this video, only ONE was off stage. And let me tell you, over half of the on stage kills were disadvantage state reversed kill confirms. Being able to start kill confirms IN THE MIDDLE OF disadvantage is most often than not a privilege given to few characters. If you do not want to admit that kazuya has this privilege, you must at least agree that Lucas has no unique tool to get him out of disadvantage states -- this is very much common knowledge and even the commentators already have underlying assumptions about this.
Watching Kazuya almost zero to death lucas followed by lucas zairing kazuya across the stage was genuinely hilarious. This game is insane
I think it says a lot about how hard Lucas is to play at top level when one of the best Lucas players in the business occasionally misinputs his DJC zair in bracket. Lucas mains practice it SO MUCH and still often flub it up. Its crazy to see the level of consistency Nitox has with the character.
The more skilled player won. Love seeing DLC lose lol
God nitox is so good
That Lucas was inspiring.
I'am freakin rooting for Lucas! Not even close to how OP and overtuned Kazuya is but Dam can he hold his own!
What a great set! These two were so evenly matched!
As someone thinking of having my main be Lucas, this was excellent to see! Great play by Nitox.
If Kazuya wins, people say that all the dlc are “pay to win” (I main Hero and completely disagree tho).
If Lucas wins, then all he did was spam PK Fire and be campy. (Disagree with that too)
Conclusion: There’s no winning. People are never satisfied.
Of course you disagree, you play fucking hero
The kazuya player wasn't using the reflector in >> attack button at all. That move is crazy against travelling projectiles. But you're correct. People will always find something to complain about instead of being constructive in their wordings
@@zjboogie012 you just proved this person's point.
@@zjboogie012 Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. The fact that I main Hero is meant to give validity to the belief that not all dlc is pay to win. Since, y’know, someone who mains that character would probably know better than most if they’re pay to win.
@@rngesus967 Those kinds of people haven't seen truly overpowering forces in smash. Brawl has more "dlc pay to win" shit than s4 & ult put together imo. The top characters were THAT over centralizing. Even melee has absurd shit. Smash 64 has crazy 0-deaths because of insane shieldstun.
Ultimate has done a spectacular job of balancing the cast for a group of people and for 1v1s. It's insane that they could do this with over 70 characters. Brawl & to a lesser extent s4 had many characters be notably worse than other higher tiered characters. I ult, most of the cast is mostly solo viable in 1v1s.
remember kids, it's always morally acceptable to camp out low tiers and shotos. ALWAYS acceptable.
Kazuya isn't a shoto jfc
@@Bedangles Ok? Does that make you feel good bro? Still gonna camp out this fake shoto, badly designed, 0 skill ass character that you will die on saying he's "not a shoto" thinking that makes any difference to anyone.
This guy really thought kazuya was a low tier LOOOOL
@@Bedangles words can have different meanings in different contexts, in the smash context shoto means motion inputs, and ngl it's really annoying when people are so pedantic about it
keep these kazuya players down. shame them. publicly.
Tarik lost because apparently he played Kazura instead of Kazuya, who even is that?
lets go nitox
No up airs from Lucas
fire set
8:00 Its like a switch was flipped up.
Lucas STAND UP lol. Maining lucas you almost HAVE to utilize his entire kit since his kill confirms are such a sweet spot
I must say Nitox is probably the best Lucas out there! Great job Nitox! 👏🏼😃
Man I love kazura
No le doy Me encanta ❤a este video por que no se puede pero NITOX eres mi dios team Lucas haha😮😮😮🎉
Tarik Kazuya is very good
No, its kazura
I was really curious why Nitox wasn’t using more PK freeze and Thunder offstage then game 3 damn he gave it to em
Kazura
Weakest Kazuya I have seen
"kazuya is balanced"
lmaooo DLC IS PAY TO WIN.
He literally lost. What are you talking about?
@@shaghilathar3588 bro had to play 3x better than Kazuya to win.
@@yungcihad You mean with his 3x better range and frame data and 3x easier inputs? Sure he did
@@shaghilathar3588 Hmmmmmm; you didn't chose the best world to say it as DCJZ is litterally frame perfect for Lucas and Nitox does it 6 time in a row
I agree DLC isn't pay to win, but saying Lucas imput is easier is just wrong
@@bonjourmotatatam8686 Its still one input as opposed to ewgf which is 4 and 2 are simultaneous
What a stupid character is Kazuya, it makes no sense at all. 0 skill
Yooo I love Kazura
These smash dlc characters are literally pay to win
You've never played kazuya then. Literally most of this games top tier is made of base roster.
@@shaghilathar3588 two things can be true. Kazuya's hits like a truck and has a rage mode like what, three of the other dlcs? I said nothing about tier, I'm just talking about how easy it is to use paywall characters like him
Bro the Lucas literally won this set not the kazuya
@@zjboogie012 He's literally the hardest character in the game by far. His best moves are locked behind frame perfect inputs, terrible disadvantage and high execution with terrible frame data. Again you're completely wrong
👶
PK FIRE
It's annoying when someone who don't play kazuya commentate and keep saying wrong moves
Nerd
