@@j.prt.979 Snake is better than PT imo. He has more cheese potential, it helps him a lot. Especially against characters that can't make comebacks easily
it makes no sense too he goes against a random k rool player and loses then he goes against the best k rool and he wins random k rool player vs ben gold
Damn y'all. 13:06 was a zero to death, three stocked the poor fella. Loved Samsora since the beginning of time, you know it's real when he gets in his serious mood. Go Sam!
Even though ben lost the set, he claimed samsora’s soul game 1. Sam did something cool but he had a huge lead while Ben was still in dis but still am managed to get a fire clip to end the game. Kudos to Ben and his killer krool
Sovee Well I mean, it’s not equal playing ground. I’m not saying Sam isn’t good but his character being BS helped him during the match since peach could just flail on Rool and just z drop turnips to deal with his recovery. It’s not like Sam didn’t have a huge advantage over ben the whole time. I don’t even think that last stock was even cool. It just felt jank. Ben made a cool play since it was clutch, good use of crown trig, and it was stylish.
Vaquero Ben golds play was literally just a gimmick, I didn't see anything cool about it whatsoever tbh. Whereas Samsora's game 3 was a show of pure dominance. Krool vs. Peach is a closer matchup than you think. You make think Peach is broken and Samsora is carried or some dumb shit like that, but show me any other peach who does what Samsora does. He's just insanely skilled.
After how well Ben Gold did on game 1, I was not expecting Samsora to display such a slaughter on games 2 and 3. Still, kudos on Ben Gold on putting up quite a fight.
I can tell you, K Rool Peach MU is a NIGHTMARE, but with patience (a lot) it can be won. I personally experienced this a few months ago, where I fought 2 Peaches in the same tournament. Managed to win both sets, but it was SUPER clutch.
A top peach should NEVER lose a set to K.ROOL. K. Rool only pressure option is crown which peach can heavily use against him if she grabs it and cannonball which is punishable. The rest is him just getting edge-guarded into oblivion or ledgetrapped.
at 5:10 - the thought there was that the counter on k rool would launch peach behind him (if the opponents hurtbox is close to k rool, then they can get hit by the other side of the counter and lead to super early kills) and the b-air was some great adaption to the situation not going as planned by ben gold
Can a heavy character in any smash game be great? Ben Gold pushes KRool to his limits, and he still gettin three stocked by one of the best characters in the game. That first game was clutch, but any game where a heavy like KRool takes a game from a Peach at this level involves serious capitalization on rare interactions. Other than that, my heavy bois are fighting an uphill battle just to get to B tier😔
Bowser is definitely very strong, idk how you define "great." Bowser is close to high-tier. Charizard is really slept-on though I don't think he really deserves past mid-tier, Bowser frame data is similar but he's way heavier than Charizard and has a frame 6 command grab. As for other super heavyweights, idk, hard to say. Brood proved that Piranha Plant is actually a hard counter to most melee characters like swordies or Captain Falcon, but he doesn't do too well in many other matchups. Basically your question is super open-ended.
@@fireandworms Bowser is pretty good, but when the limelight was on Leon for a time everyone grinded the Bowser matchup and relegated him to a bottom mid tie again. See any recent match between Cosmos/Juice against Leon. At one point Leon bodied them but since then they've adapted and are consistently wiping Leon out. I think Bowser was good early on, but now that the meta has developed a little bit and people tale him more seriously, he's a lot less of a threat
@@colebutler4442 Hmmm I can't say I agree that he's only a mid-tier, I think that Leon and other Bowser mains simply need to increase their skill level. They dominated early on and got complacent. The 6 frame command grab, safe and strong damage from Fire Breath, OOS Whirling Fortress, Bair kill confirm out of falling Nair, Dair splash damage, incredibly high weight, and tough guy collectively are amazing tools that can exploit even characters with good frame data like Chrom and Inkling. Purely a skill issue, Leon and others have work to do.
@@fireandworms You're right - they need to catch up. Perhaps I should reword my original complaint and explain it a little. Heavies have always had some of the hardest matchups in the game (save from maybe little mac, but we can ignore this one) in each game, typically as a consequence of their huge hurt boxes and slow movement. It would be nice to have a heavy that didn't suffer from these drawbacks, that wasn't always combo food, and didn't have such appaling matchups. The heavy character that has hard hits is an archetype you see in every video game, but as far as Smash is concerned it never amounts to a character that sits at the top of the tier list. Smash 5 Bowser is probably the closest we've ever come, but he still suffers immense drawbacks against characters that do sit at the top of the tier list (Peach, Inkling, etc). I don't think we'll ever see the day of a heavy being in S tier, or even high A tier, but I still pray that this happens.
The point of the reversing counter is some moves are long enough that you can hit them with the reversed counter hitbox and kill them off the ledge at 40% or lower. DK's giant punch if badly spaced is a good example.
FlyingPenguins honestly i think anyone can get one game especially if its the first match when you still haven’t downloaded your opponent. Mk leo loses ALOT of first games.
@@MoeMunnie023 too be completely honest I'm pretty sure I've seen mkleo more in losers brackets more than winners brackets. Usually ends up winning the tourney anyways. Lol case and point this game as well.
Assuming I know what you're talking about, krool's upair has more horizontal momentum than his up b/free fall does, so doing it will bring you closer to the stage. Rightly timed, this allows you to catch turnips as well, so it's indispensable in this matchup
I saw the vid length and thought there is no way that Sam's Peach would actually struggle against a K.Rool in pools... and he didn't but game 1 he definitely got jammed lmaooo
It's nice to see Ben gold come to America, he definitely has one of the best king k rool. But after seeing the king k rool that beat samsora on stream, I feel like his king k rool isn't optimized. The guy on samsoras stream showed a really strong understanding of king k rool projectiles and attacks, check it here if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/0BaM2pIXz7M/v-deo.html. Nonetheless these guys are awesome!
KirbyKid still has better overall stats. He beat Kept and got a higher placement this tournament than the other K Rools. Kept has beaten top 50 players from America many times already and almost beat nairo a few times. I think hes ranked 35 in Japan?
First off Samsora is stupid good lol but Tbh this shows why KKR is one of the best heavies strictly because he is hard to kill and the super armor buff in 8.0 is ridiculous... almost always with be above 150 and the recovery is insane he just doesn’t die idk why people say he is lower tier tbh
brett s looked like he turned around the counter so he could send Peach into the blast zone but Peach’s side b drifted too far back to connect. The bair afterwards was just an opportunity that was created and Ben acted on it in the moment
Watching this right after coming off samsora’s k.rool video is just ominous
I did the same lmao
The Kople K.Rool lurks in his marsh and bides its time... awaiting the moment it senses weakness from its prey.
^What are you talking about? He took one round from Samsora in tourney.
@@vibraniumshield7383 kople took 3 rounds
+Snake! No he didn't.
Right after Samsora said k. Rool was top 15 character lmao
Peach top 3 though
he had to of been joking

He is an Australian Legend!!!!

Try sheik vs heavies lmao

Only problem she has is killing at times
That last kill though..
