One thing that's always amused me: The best Inking in Europe is called Space, and is also Europe's best Pyra/Mythra. The best Inkling in U.S. (albeit inactive) is Cosmos, who is currently U.S.'s best Pyra/Mythra. Cosmos... Space... Their names are synonyms.
Hikaru and Gluto were absolutely amazing to watch. Seeing Donkey Kong pop off will never not be awesome, especially at the top level. I've never hated or been a huge fan of Gluto or Wario, but I sure was rooting for him in this tourney. He played out of his mind! Mad respect for Tea--he's a good sport, definitely goated, and just plain entertaining--but he only solidified my disdain for Kazuya.
no respect to tea, hes good but he didnt actually play that well in top 8. He just witched to a bullshit chrachter that just stunlocks you into a zero to death.
I love the nods of how players did in other games for this event, I feel like it's a welcome addition for tournaments like this where there's so many games on display
Thanks you for doing a separate video for the EU tourney instead of grouping both UFA and port priority. By doing so each tournament gets the coverage it deserves. And I'm glad you took time to tell the wawa story, which could have been unnoticed.
I was hoping yall would acknowledge Wawa! It felt surreal to find out he was more interested in SSBU than DBFZ moving forward. Im excited to see him evolve.
The ultimate bracket of players in their ideal condition: Mk3-0 "Clip" Tweek Light with his sleeves rolled up Jetlagged ProtoBanham Sparg0 after he rolls his eyes Tea in France Cosmos at a Last Chance Qualifier Maister after his 17th consecutive loss
i love how relatively even the ultimate scene is globally. some games tend to get dominated by one region, but there really is a major winning capable player from every region at any point. exciting (minus leo)
I know these tournaments deserve their own vids but man... the opportunity for a video titled return to monke talking about both Tweek and Hikarus performances would've been gold lol
I like Tea but he can really thank Kazuya on that one. To me, Kazuya is as big of a problem as Steve. Seeing them spam the same until it hits is utterly boring and I personally had sometimes Kazuya touch me when I was in his back when he attacked (and not attacking so no hurtbox extension)
I mean, kazuya saved his ass against sisqui's samus, but otherwise pacman did most of the work. Even against glutonny, he most likely would have won with pacman too, but the other matchup is more difficult for wario and glutonny wasn't expecting it, so he switched.
it's interesting to see Heavies coming back in fighting games...conventionally they're thought of as inherently weak, but are now top tier in tekken 7, GGST, and arguably Smash
After the waft nerfs Wario is a lot harder to use, but kazuya can 0 to death anyone from a single grab at any percent because downthrow electric is a true thing :( if anything, Glutto is a new low tier hero
UFA was one of the hypest tournament ever imo Hikaru upsets vs gluto or bloom with DK hello ?!!!! Gluto vs Bloom with the Joker game ?!!!!! Tea who became a Kazuya main at this point ?!!!!!! So much story telling and I'm a bit disappointed with the writing of that video cause I didn't feel all of that hype. But maybe that's just me cause I biased. I usally highly appreciate PG stats recaps very much cause I get the hype or the amazingness of a set/run !
Hikaru is pronounced "He" "Car" "Ru", not hick-a-roo 🙂Ru is short, but if you can't manage you can say roo like in Kangaroo. A bunch of bad examples exist on UA-cam. This is a native person saying Hikari which is similar: ua-cam.com/video/9CwfOnXQ8EE/v-deo.html
Also it's good to know that the letter "i" in a Japanese word/name is pronounced like "ee" instead "ih" or "ie" In fact I'm pretty sure all vowels in Japanese words/names follow a pretty predictable pattern similar to the one I just mentioned. The letter "a" being pronounced "ah", "e" being pronounced "ay", "o" being pronounced as "oh", and "u" being pronounced as "ooh" Just bringing this up because for me at least it made pronouncing Japanese words/names that I didn't know much easier after I learned about this. I don't speak Japanese though, so if I just said isn't true at all then just disregard it.
@@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 its kind of hard to spell because they arent pronounced *quite* like english short vowel forms, but for e/えand o/お, just imagine saying "ey" without the y sound and "oh" without the ending "oo" sound. pretty accurate with the predictability thing though: the two most basic japanese alphabets are organized into five basic vowel sounds (with a few exceptions), just with different consonants in front of them each time.
@@lokks2130 yeah, I know it sounds super confusing. I'm just basing this opinion off of when riddles and tea fought each other. Tea's gameplay is very different with kazuya. The way riddles plays is super technical compared to tea. Riddles will look for super sweet combos and try connecting all his moves, but tea on the other hand will spam ewgf and then follow up with some big hitting moves. From what I saw, Tea's kazuya is the best, but Riddles is the best at fully utilizing the character. But yeah, I over analyzed that like crazy and I probably confused a lot of people haha.
@@willycheez7218 bloom has great matchups in Europe in general, literally only losing this last tournament to a Japanese player and gluto. I don’t know if he is the best , but he is clearly atleast top 2. With a winning record on the official number 1 player. And he is also the favorite to win Tech republic even before Gluto dropped out. That seems like he has atleast a pretty decent argument to challenge for the number 1 spot.
Port Priority 7 Recap tomorrow. Get your Tweek apology comments ready.
yessirrrr
can’t wait
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, Gavin "Tweek" Dempsey.
If Maister was there he would've beaten Tweek 😐

Cosmos... Space... Their names are synonyms.
They're also both big weebs and even played Corrin in Smash 4! The similarities are uncanny!
Hah that's a cool little fun fact. Thanks for that
@@thundercharged1 And they both played on Wii remote and nunchuck, it's actually scary.
Biggest thing to note from Raarchyor is since he's the top player from Morocco, he's the first African player ever to top-32 a major

Hikaru’s SDI versus Bayo was out of this world
He has so much practice from sm4sh I’m sure he didn’t want it to happen again
It’s true what they say, Tea in France is the best player in the world

Long answer: Also Yes
also DK deserved to be in the thumbnail
Love hearing Nutroast's incredible voiceover for this episode! Hoping for him to do more of these as well

Gotta love those PG Stats uploads
So what you're saying is that DK can (potentially) win a major. Maybe not alone, but we can hope.
“Hickaroo” Pretty sure that’s what they call rural Australians

I really like this voiceover! Nutroast, is it? Really engaging commentary and delivery! ^_^
I feel like I’m watching a Wolfe wideo with those pronunciations of Hikaru and Sisqui

5:17 did you forget Ultimate wanted 4 happened?
I don’t understand Kazuya, isn’t Samus supposed to be a bad matchup? Why did sisqui look like he had no options 😢
It is. He got hard outplayed
Gluto really letting a dude who ain't even from Europe rule over the continent 🥶🥶🥶
easy when you play kazuya and gluto mains wario
@@Clarkbardoone Tea still ruled with Pacman lmao

I mean… MKLeo and Spargo are winning most NA majors aswell?
I mean it was 6 different countries with Japan, Spain, Netherlands, UK, France, and the US.
CAN WE TALK HOW A DK GOT IN WINNERS FINAL OF A MAJOR ?!!
Props to Hikaru omg ! !! x')
Keep grinding Streakz!

No hate to Tea but Kazuya just seems broken (if you’re technical enough to have a few 0-deaths locked in)
Where can I find the matches ? I can't seem to find them anywhere
Whoever said in these comment sections that tea didnt count as a kazuya rep HOLD THAT
Could you start putting a bracket link in the description please? :)

does Europe have a new king? No

The title is a clickbait. Here was thinking a European was getting as good results as Gluto on the continent
I mean Bloom is kinda of tied in peoples minds vs Gluto for the best European player. And this weekend we get to see them go at it again.
They actually are
@@tacoshop7722 He's not the best tho. He just happens to beat Gluto in particular a lot because Bayo is unwinnable for Wario + Gluto tendonitis
