Friends and eventually crowdfunding from you guys watching live! 2) they’ll happen weekly and will feature all sorts of gimmicks ideas and new players to keep them fresh as well as commentary guests 3) I will stream them in the future so watch out for that 4) in terms of streaming!!

@@canmx121 it's been a while since they've been in tournaments and Terry isn't that prominent in the scene besides riddles.and neither of them play him. So it's kind of fair enough
Terry is good. His recovery isn’t as bad as people think. It offers more flexibility than folks realize… and yeah, if you want GO gone… KILL HIM lol. I love watching my opponents sweat when I’m threatening them by just standing still as Scary Terry.
In a tournament setting, a game refers to any single time they fight for a win. A set refers to a set of games that two players played to proceed further in the tournament, a "round" refers to a group of sets where everyone in that round are currently tied. Sets 1-4 are Round 1, then when the winners play again, that's round 2, or in this case, Semi Finals, then the last set is grand finals
I thought they did a really good job, both tech and zero are super interesting to listen to and even though they lack a bit of game knowledge I think it was still very entertaining. But come on man "leagues" better? Thats kinda delusional, official tourneys have great commentating too.
@@cuchutrain Melee's great, but the "modern" faction's commentary has been trash for years and has only ever gotten worse you can't lack more game knowledge than an Ultimate commentator, it's just not possible. have you ever listened to an Ult match?
@@jiyucy It definitely varies, some of it is shit I agree, but in general I do feel like ultimate still has pretty good commentating overall in terms of game knowledge and entertainment. Like kagaribi the other day was solid, both japanese and english commentary. At least from my point of view.
You're being ridiculous. I just watched Charles and Hazmatt commentate FOUR matches at once eloquently during battle of bc 5 with great insight on player history and their thought processes mid match. You don't need to denegrate to compliment, melee player.
Love to see this type of energy and personality from ZeRo again. When he first came back I honestly was sad the controversy seemed to have changed him dramatically, but this made me want to start playing Smash again 😂
I haven’t watched a Smash tourney since you retired Zero! This is awesome! I’ll watch them anytime you post them. The competitive smash scene is rekt, thanks for reviving it! Welcome back. 🎉
200 dollars! That’s food for like a month! More than a smash player has seen since Nintendo stopped endorsing melee Edit: to all the people saying 200$ a month isn’t enough for food… what do you think smash players eat? The good ones get to eat fast food, the others get ramen noodles lmao (this is all in good fun, I am neither better than any of the players in this video, nor do I have more money than them)
@@vergillives9890 melee just a more technical game with better epic moments. If you remade melee with HD graphics and the same roster as ultimate more people would watch the melee version because it would be more entertaining. Better combos and what not
ZeRo, I've been a fan for a while. I really appreciate you for doing your thing and making this happen with these cool people and returning to smash content as of late. It's been heartwarming, honestly. Seeing you get to enjoy smash after a path that definitely hasn't been easy with challenges all throughout. I've got to see you become and extremely bright and powerful person, and the journey to that point has been nothing short of impressive. Keep standing up for the person you are and spreading love by being true to your soul. Love and Blessings
The commentary is so spot on, detailing the match at the right moments, and making you feel like youre watching the game with friends the rest of the time
Bro I love how zero shits on the haters by the thumbnail alone real talk I got the most respect for this guy and it would be a dream to get sum coaching.
I had no interest in smash since you took a break. Seeing you back and lively just brings back so many good memories and love to see you pushing out content again
I really appreciate zer0 making this tournament. I hope some kind of sponsorship rolls in, cause more freedom minded tournaments need to exist. allowing banned players to participate is also legendary
As a recommendation for future tournaments like this where people would be scared of their brand being affected, I would suggest an anonymous tournament, where all players are under a different alias, but no on in the audience that doesn't recognize specifically how those players would play can detect who they are. If players who are worried about their brand are questioned about joining the tournament, they can just not comment or deny the fact as no one would know other than the organizers. Maybe even better that other players don't know who is playing who. Though it sucks that there's less marketing for it as no players can be mentioned, the mystery of it is also pretty entertaining.
I'm honestly impressed by Tech's commentary. He took it seriously and actually tried to provide insights and analysis. On top of that, they were funny to listen. Very entertaining.
It feels kinda weird to say this, but at this point, I'm almost glad that all of this happened because I prefer this ZeRo and version of Smash community to that lukewarm bullshit pre-2020. I'm so here for this
Wasn't D1 banned because he fucked a drunk girl while he was also drunk but he was blamed for it entirely because reasons? He was the most stupid ban in the community fr
The materials of the stage ABSOLUTELY matter when counter picking. You don't pick Hollow Bastion, because then Steve will constantly have metal to throw the anvil and use cart. That's such a good stage for Steve based solely on that
Watching y'all just having fun with your small group of bros, while the "main" Smash Community is smouldering was not the Ending I was expecting😅🎉 But this is definitely the Good Ending
First rule of hosting a controversial under ground smash tournament is do not talk of hosting a controversial under ground smash tournament second rule is bring soap
14:53 "-like he's playing R.O.B, bro. You can come bac in a *Second* but he's mashing a little too much, I'm noticing him airdodging when he's not supposed to, Side B-ing in neutral when on one's there. You're fighting demons, man. Fight the guy on the screen." Why is Technicals kinda good? I don't dislike his match commentary.
bro literally said Steve's side cart is the reliable booty call who is always there for you and you can call whenever even Friday afternoons or Saturdays at 2am lol bruh 🤣
Love the format of this torney. not too long so you can watch the whole tournent all in one video. Its great. Makes for a really good UA-cam video. Zero is a pro.
I seen this comment stating that watching this feels like watching a good after credits scene. I couldn't agree more. Normal smash tournaments feel too streamlined. Seeing someone who has been villainized by the community just having his fun in spite of that bull. It just puts a smile on my face.
Was excited to see that you were back and running tournaments again. Then saw that you were commentating with Technicals. F***** that dude. My excitement dissipated so fast.
yeah...it's ironic, upsetting, and confusing that ZeRo, a misunderstood and wrongly-canceled victim looking for a second chance, is buddy-buddy with someone who goes out of his way to repeatedly make other misunderstood and wrongly-canceled victims looking for a second chance look as bad as possible in an attempt to deny them their second chance. his videos on Nairo are laughable with how tunnel-visioned his bias is and how little understanding he had for how powerless Nairo was in that entire situation
@@fangelobb2048 thank you. just because zach was a minor doesn't mean he didn't have literally all of the power in that situation and exploited it to its fullest because he knew he could. nairo was 1000% the victim and is the most innocent of all the smash cancelations, but f******** Technicals won't leave him the f***** alone for some reason
I thought it was crazy when Steve players learned to work an up smash into their ladder combo until I watched this. Salem has figured out the perfect height to lay a block high enough that it actually disintegrates DURING his up smash so he can CONTINUE comboing. He did it so many times in this tournament. Absolutely crazy knowledge of the character
Plus that would go against the precedent ZeRo set. He actually committed a crime that provided him with a reasonable ban as far as I see it. But I don't know the whole situation, so I'm just assuming.
@@timmasters1195 Guess I have to look into it, even if there was no crime committed technically, I have to assume there was at least some sort of guilt admission. Edit: Didn't take long, admission of dating and match-fixing. I forgot about this shit, Ally coming back is as likely as EDP445 getting unbanned on every social media and receiving support. He didn't have to do that, he went out of his way.
@@GSEleven yep, there was a seriously inappropriate relationship with Zack that ended up reflecting badly on both of them. But like ZeRo, no actual criminal proceedings, despite the fact the community knows they did some bad stuff.
I'll be real, ZeRo - the Twitch crowdfunding idea is fire. That'll generate a ton of hype and make for a big pot, so all in all that's a huge dub for everyone involved.
Hope y’all enjoyed the tournament! Please watch until the end! Some awesome things to come:
1) working on increasing the pot of the tournament every time from sponsors. Friends and eventually crowdfunding from you guys watching live!
2) they’ll happen weekly and will feature all sorts of gimmicks ideas and new players to keep them fresh as well as commentary guests

So hyped to watch this! Feels like years we've waited for it! Thank you Zero!!!!
Question Zero, you planning on doing tournaments on other games? Like, DBFZ, Valorent, CSGO, etc.
Il you can put the name of the player and the score it will be Nice
Loved the video! Could we possibly see the chat next time too?
Awesome
This is the first video I’ve clicked in a min from zero and he looks so healthy and happier. Love to see it.
SAAAAME W ZERO🎉❤
Right?
That's what happens when you realise other people and online don't have power over your life.

For the GO meter on Terry, he gets it above 100%, and it does NOT go away
This stood out to me they did not know this lol
Lol dang it, someone beat me to the punch!

ZeRo + Tech is an amazing commentary duo
better and funnier than most of the cringe ones
Yeah, I actually thought it was funny how they had to make up knowledge on the game too! Good commentary!
Be better if he got someone who knew better about the game. Someone else who is banned but still plays. Like Salem would have been great
I know right 😄

Venia being a participant in the tournament is one of the most unexpected but pleasant surprises I've seen from the Smash community in a while.
Venia did nothing wrong.
@@RangoTheMercenary I know. That's what makes it even better.
Fr wish he gotta put in more wok tho ;-;
Looks like Zero is finally understanding what is and isn’t legal
Dude actually said fine I'll do it myself. Love it
I was wondering why it was taking so long for someone to do it... though I guess HB has also been just hosting his own.
the commentary here is leagues better than any official tourney could hope for

Never even watched an official big smash tournament

Zero and Tech deadass are a better commentating duo than most ones I've heard at tournaments
This concept has amazing potential
It's Zero and Technicals as commentators, I already know this video will be a banger
Maybe he's not the hero people wanted but he's the hero we deserve
The commentary is so spot on, detailing the match at the right moments, and making you feel like youre watching the game with friends the rest of the time
seeing zero almost clutch game after game and getting hype was something i didnt know i missed
Bro I love how zero shits on the haters by the thumbnail alone real talk I got the most respect for this guy and it would be a dream to get sum coaching.
I had no interest in smash since you took a break. Seeing you back and lively just brings back so many good memories and love to see you pushing out content again
That’s crazy lmao because I deadass just gave up smash 4 when he retired
I absolutely love that Tech is here for this and I really hope he's commentary for each event
I really appreciate zer0 making this tournament. I hope some kind of sponsorship rolls in, cause more freedom minded tournaments need to exist. allowing banned players to participate is also legendary
Just saying, that third place handshake could be the most expensive prize depending on where they live 😂
LES GOOOOO. The Technicals commentator really adds to the tournament

Nah this thumbnail is cracked 🤣 ZeRo don’t gaf what people got to say negatively about this tourney
34:19 "Please Revenge Counter DEEZ NUTS" HA GOTTEM! HAHAHA
Even in a tournament full of underground players, I have to sit through three sets of freaking Steve, brooooo.....
something about watch you play and do commentary on a tournament brings me joy. Glad to see you happy
The Bowser Jrs are rising up TM7 so goated
Bowser jr mains let's goooo
This tourney just feels a lot more real and passionate than the official ones, nice work zero
I love that tech was in this video as well. Tied it all together lmao so much love for him.
That Diddy (Washed) vs Incineroar (Sharp) match was so good. I was hoping to hear a YOOOOOOOOOO lmao
never forget this man tried to solicit a minor.
that was like 10 years ago, thats more than enough time to forgive zero, plus it seems like he learned his lesson and wont make that mistake again
We NEED the Luigi/Bowser Jr player back, funnest one to watch for SURE, and Sharpy too!
I'm honestly impressed by Tech's commentary. He took it seriously and actually tried to provide insights and analysis. On top of that, they were funny to listen. Very entertaining.
Zap's Bowser Jr and Luigi were saucy holy shit and Salem really just shows the near unlimited potential that Steve has.
Kylo Ren voice: “MORE!”
"Please Revenge Counter deez nuts" - Technicals, uttered in a total seriousness
It feels kinda weird to say this, but at this point, I'm almost glad that all of this happened because I prefer this ZeRo and version of Smash community to that lukewarm bullshit pre-2020. I'm so here for this
Loved it. Commenting for the algorithm.
Salem's setups are nuts and I love to see good characters played with a different flair.
5:20 Did nobody catch the Greninja Up-B water flinging Terry all the way up the screen?? LMAO
Tech stopped commentating when Salem started playing 😂
This mf just doing whatever he wants without giving a fuck and im all here for it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hella hype tournament with you and Technicals can't wait for the next one and maybe D1 can do commentary in the next tournament?!?!
Wasn't D1 banned because he fucked a drunk girl while he was also drunk but he was blamed for it entirely because reasons?
He was the most stupid ban in the community fr
The materials of the stage ABSOLUTELY matter when counter picking. You don't pick Hollow Bastion, because then Steve will constantly have metal to throw the anvil and use cart. That's such a good stage for Steve based solely on that
LMAO TECHNICALS TELL ME WHAT TO THINK
I think ZeRo and Technicals get along. Which is why Nairo probably wasnt invited.

5:40 Hilarious to me that neither of those knows how Terry's GO works. Once he has it he can't lose it btw. Great vid seems like they are having fun
Finally good smash content. Been awhile. Glad to have you back zero and having tech was a great idea.
thank you for hosting this man, it was really fun to watch
I wouldn't be suprised if Samsora is invited or was invited. Dude attends locals already so..
I can feel all his trophies behind him cheering: Do something!!
Well, I guess when you get banned from ever competing in Smash tournaments and all your other non Smash content failed, you host your own tournament.
Love the format of this torney. not too long so you can watch the whole tournent all in one video. Its great. Makes for a really good UA-cam video. Zero is a pro.
this is genuinely one of the most entertaining smash matches I've watched in a while
Technicals commentating Salem sets? What a world.
34:48 “Please revenge counter these nuts” 💀
Respect. I always thought people who got banned should just do this.
Shaveh rocking that Blade PFP lets go.
Glad to see this content from you. Looking forward to seeing more!
Terry gets go at 100% and I believe does not lose it at all till he dies.
Love these quick tournaments. Maybe a tournament where there's a handicap or condition. Like half jumps or no shields
Popping up on my news feed and stuff you deserve this zero
It was fun, kinda a shame we had Steve run through the bracket tho. Until next tourney! Hopefully I can put on a real show!
zero wearing young LA is something i never expected to see
Commentary is like 60% of smash tournaments. You guys are the best commentators I've seen since D1 (rip)
“Just got here” -that one guy
