Tea’s bell is intimidating even when you are a Hero player with Bounce.
I think that it was the reverse, he wasn't scared enough of the bell DUE to bounce. tea was waiting on the cooldown and it paid off
Akakikusu had an amazing run. Beating Zackray, taking Tea to game 5 in a set, and making it to 3rd as the Hero is nothing to be ashamed of.
Very true. And now people want Hero banned more than ever XD. First they call him "mid-tier" and now he's too good to be in tournaments. Classic salt.
@@SpyderBey hero is top 20
@@spoonYT based on what metric?? It sure isn't results or matchup spread so what are you using to determine this??
@@savonmcleod7265 i mean his matchup chart is that of a top 20 character and he just made top 3 at the biggest offline event in a while in japan beating the best character in the country LOL. how’s that for a metric?
@@spoonYT you mean the metric you just pulled outta your ass. Hero definitely does not have a top 20 matchup spread as his matchups are all over the place.
Next him beating joker speaks more to the skill of aka and not necessarily hero as a character. Aka is astonishing with the character but just because he beat XYZ doesn't automatically bump the character up to a borderline top-tier placement.
This is Literaly the first major tournament a hero has placed this well in The character has been out for over a year and a half now.
And only aka is doing this well with the character.
Tea is amazing, and one of my favorite players, but we need to recognize Akakikisu. Hero can be stupid, but he played incredibly!
Yep! As a Hero main, I agree. Thankfully, Hero's best kill moves can be blocked or dodged easily but dang if they land that's insane.
Hero Main Here and I am Floored By those Plays
Tbh, a Hero player can go further than some of the Meta characters. He can delete stocks so easily if practiced with. I low key think people should use him more
@@Yepitsmedude you = absolutely correct
both players trying to turn this set into their own clip compilation
8:16 This whole interaction was so clean I would eat off it.
9:44
This was just pure flex on Tea's part. He had the stun timing down so perfectly that he charged the move and waited for the stun to end to hit Akakikusu mid-launch instead of just taking the secured kill. Absolutely incredible.
3:27 Ginko-shiki
8:16 Renkon-shiki
That hero player got like 10 hits per game and they were even games. That’s crazy.
*Long live the king*
HIS MOVEMENT WHEN HE GOT KEY OUT THOOOOO
That was one of the best matches I've ever seen.
Tea is incredible, so many plays that make me laugh with how nuts they are
The set Tweek’s podcast was talking about
Thnx
What did he say?
Tweeks podcast is what brought me here lol. Hype set.
Listened on spitify!
I wanna see this hero player come to American tournaments hes so good. Tea is so good too
The language change could be terrible for him though
@@uprollsariotvan wouldn't it be possible to Just change the language for Every match that's not a Hero VS Hero?
@@kennethkjen1996 it would be unfair to the other players who can't read Japanese. He's forced to learn the English names if he wants to compete in America sadly
@@kennethkjen1996 I mean in theory, though it'd be time consuming to have to back out and swap every game he's in.
Though the bigger issue is that technically it'd be advantaged to him if ths game was in Japanese, since his English reading opponent couldn't see what he's selecting to react to it.
@@uprollsariotvan ah yeah they can't react to the spells either. to be fair, they wouldn't be fast enough to keep up with akakikusu anyway, that Guy Reads fast as fuck
Love the Hero of course, but Tea has phenomenal fundamentals. There were SO many times where he just called out Menu and rolling or running away in neutral, sprinted from one side to the other, and got a grab off it. Crazy.
Tea has been playing a lot recently, and looking back at these clips, I can really appreciate how much effort Tea puts into fundamentals. He's not just a good Pac-Man player. He's one of the best players in the world, his fundamental understanding of the game is top rate.
@@Aflay1 - Funny; I see your comment from a year ago right under mine. Welcome back I guess.
@@Pslamist hehe, small world.
It's been a great year for Pac-Man. In general, but particularly because Tea has been taking him far.
@@Aflay1 - My buddy Harkenstone mains him; I respect the yellow sphere of doom.
@@Pslamist
I grew up with Pac-Man. I could never decide on a Smash main until Smash 4 when Pac-Man was announced. I was really happy with the kit they gave him, and all of my friends learned to respect my weirdness.
I stopped playing about a year after Smash Ultimate came out, but I got a lot of practice with Pac-Man and still occasionally battle people. I just kinda prefer watching better players fight on UA-cam now.
I'm surprised how many people play Pac-Man nowadays. Used to be unheard of. I still get told every so often that my Pac-Man is cool. I just...reaaally hate wifi.
3:28 only one word EPIC
*Set of the year*
This is one of the most exciting matches I’ve watched!
Tea is absolutely my favorite Japanese player. Love seeing the offline set.
13:00 this is actually insane
this was one of the most insane matches ive seen damn
tea is incredible
This Hero Player is really really good. Damn!
One of the best sets i've seen in a while.
Holy wow, insane gameplay.
Pac vs Hero dynamic
"Watch out, you're in shield and I have bell at kill percent!"
"Fuck you, I'm exploding"
THIS HERO RUN THO🥶
What an amazing set! These players play out of their mind. I know how good Tea is, but Akakikusu, my boy, is nuts on Hero. Was really rooting for him to make the finals but this is a great run.
I love this set!!!
So glad to see akak doing well. He’s repping hero greatly and proving this character is solo viable/top tier potential
Who is this Akakikisu guy? He’s really good. I’ve never heard of him until now but he’s a really good Hero player.
i've been seeing a lot of aka in larrylurr's recent videos on japanese offline tournaments, he is really something, he even managed to take a set off of kome in a prior tournament
Tea's games really are the best pack man tutorials on youtube
One of the most balanced game I have ever seen ! It was crazy
That was absolutely nuts! What a treat.
I’m shocked people don’t see how Hero can shake up the meta. He may not be better than all the sword characters but he can challenge players like Pac Man, Joker, Pikachu and etc. his move sets are good against light characters that depend on speed. To add, he can even the playing field if you’re down just because of his buffs. Kinda like Shulk
A very good set! I was rooting for the hero, but it was very close
I love to see Tea playing omg
These commentators are really good.
Respectable to both characters, players, and playstyles plus they got hype without any ear-piercing screams
4:42 basically shows how smart Akakikusu is. Very intelligent and covering all options. Now why TEA threw a projectile at a Hero with Boumce up is beyond me
Hype set holy shit
That was incredible
set of the year.
This was such a great match. Aka is my favorite Hero
This set was lit
Huge respect for these two players…they did so well!
Came here from the GG/EZ podcast. Worth it
Great to see a Hero do so well. Wish he had won
Same. That would be history I believe. Maybe I'll get up there one day
Great games! the ending was epic.
Tea looks like he could beat a demon lord if he got isekaied
Great match!! One of the most entertaining I've seen this year so far.
It helps he’s using my favorite Hero alt.
Man that hero played great.. Tea makes Pac-Man look like top 5 character.
isn't pac-man already a top 5 character?
@@letsdraw3014 no
@@Luv-dq5th I could totally see him being top 10 tho, and people have made cases for top 5
8:17 WHAT THE HELL
Such a great match!!!!
that last hit was oRaNGe
Amazing match
What a set
Bro that hero gets what he wants out of those down B's
Its legit insane how he gets so often the right spell to use in every situation.
Well I know the probability of bounce to show up increases when you play a player with projectiles. Same with other spells in different situations. At least that’s what I heard.
Well you got to keep in mind he’s going through menu’s like a mad man. So he’s going to get spells in his favor quite a bit.
@@diegov2point0 that's not true at all
@@YounesLayachi well it’s what’s I saw somewhere and I almost believe it Bc this hero in this set got like ALOT of bounces. Don’t know though. Maybe someone else can confirm.
@@diegov2point0 you can just Google it
Man, Tea won and he is freakishly amazing! I could never beat him at the skill level I'm at, now. What a legend! That bell is *devastating.*
Props to Akakikusu for the good fight! Hero's my main and I love watching other professionals play him. I also love the insane salt people make when Hero wins tough battles like these. My fish meals will never be disgusting again.
I will get to a tournament player's level someday. Although, I have no idea how to do an up-tilt consistently :/
Same dude! I love Hero he’s also my main and Akakikisu is giving me a lot of hope for my character!
What part of doing an up tilt is difficult for you?
Here’s a tip, maybe ur doing up-tilt wrong because u have “tap jump” turned on. Tap jump is when u hit up on ur left control stick and the character jumps. So then that off in settings so all u have to us press up and A and u will always get an up tilt
@@kajin2422 OMG IT WORKED! Thank you so much, man!
@@SpyderBey you can also try changing the C-Stick to tilts if you don't use it for Smash attacks.
Great commentary!
That set was fucking dope
3:28 Godlike read
That's just a regular pac-main confirm
@@falloutboy1379 it's not. He read the airdodge. It's not possible to confirm like that usually. So I would say it's not 'regular'.
oh man that was good
4:44
13:01
13:38
Thx
it's funny how tea started the string with galagar on bounce and gave himself the finishing blow with hydrant
12:13
Local matches are on another level
jojojoj que buen combate
Impressive run fr with solo hero
13:50 the knowledge 🤣
Hot damn Tea. As a pac main this matchup sucks so much balls. Tea did so well.
Its even imo but pretty annoying for us. Tea did very well.
@@vick7868 I feel like we are forced to go in and be aggressive. We cannot camp hero unless he has no mana
@@straptvyoutube3900 this is true, but we have the tools to do that. His only real keep away rool is side b and if we can punish that he's gonna eat a combo.
@@vick7868 I concur.with that
8:15
13:37
Yeet moments here
Not the second one
One of Yeet's most recent videos: "shieldbreak".
@@emmanuelnuno oh nvm then
Tea is one of my favorite player
How in the world does Hero get Zoom like every time he's way off stage?
I have the strange urge to pick up both pacman and hero and main them.
Tea is so amazing at this game
Salute us pac man mains
Two oldies.....but the most well known won.
this set was a dairy farm
The rng man lost by an or-an-ge
I know this is 3 months old but I can't ignore how good of a joke this is
Wait you can put the specific skin for hero in your thumbnail but when it comes to bayonetta you always pick the default look when almost all the bayos who play competitively pick the look from bayo 1 look aka the alternative outfit.
It’s easier to find hero alts
Is it though? Really? I doubt that. Caused they did the same for cloud with his alternate outfit and found it and used it for the thumbnail. This the exact same situation with bayonetta. Cloud has 2 outfits his og ff7 outfit and his advent children attire (alt) and bayo has 2 outfits bayo 2( deflate) and bayo 1( alt) so if they can find clouds alt they can do bayonetta alt.
i must be really high cause normal speed looks sped up to me
11:55
DAUM
I feel like the commentators had never seen a hero before the way they hyped up Akakikusu. No doubt he's good but they're acting like this isn't one of Pac-Man's worst matchups
It honestly isn't. We rush him down pretty well and have better buttons than he does but he has the neutral tools to keep us on our toes. Even MU.
16:06 cost him the game but god dam is he godly
This set was super great. The way I play is so lame and slow when compared to these.
You could tell last round aka choked under pressure Fr
Hero is high tier,he only need more players like akakikuso
This has got to be pacmans worst matchup and tea pulled it off. Helluva set.
It's not that bad for us, most likely even. We have better buttons and projectiles but he has neutral tools to keep us on our toes and we can't camp him otherwise he'll take the time to buff himself. Most likely it is even.
It’s even
It’s crazy how much of a rush this set gives me lol. You can’t say this Hero is good cause of RNG, he is so smart with his Hero play. He could beat top players around the world no doubt
I'm a fan of Tea
Bro got a shield break off spamming back air w a buff and the commentator said “the knowledge!” This why this game is a joke lol
The knowledge was about knowing what to kill with, since the commentator was thinking about doing fsmash and hoping for a crit. Hope you feel good about randomly commenting videos of games you don't like.
@@fernandobanda5734 lmao relax bro I liked the video I just thought that was dumb as hell. Also an fsmash would’ve killed there it’s fucking hero😂
13:44 23% before hit...
Psyche Up is crazy
TEA IS NASTY
HIS PAC MAN IS NASTY
🍊🍊🍊
Amazing game...tea has 2 brains lol
That's bullshit how did he break the shield like that? Also - he was at 23% when he killed him with side B. Idk I'm mad for Tea for that, but glad that wasn't what determined the set. If it was that would've been tragic bullshit. Akakikusu has an amazing hero though, but that's just utter garbage if you can break someone's shield with 1 regular back air and the shield is at good health. Also KO'ing at 23% from is lame. That probably would've killed from center stage too.
Ken, Ryu, MarthCina, DK, Bowser can bust shields with one move...
It Wasnt a regular back air, but ok
To be honest, I love that Hero is able to break shields with one attack and kill at 23%!!!
@@Manuelmotivated25 You probably liked Smash 4 Bayo too. I'm not saying Hero is broken, but that is a bit cheap. I prefer honest characters.
@@tinyt.w.i.m7291 Yeah, but not a quick back air like that. There are plenty of other characters with moves to break shields too. Those moves they have are specialized to break shields. Thus more telegraphed and harder to land.
I think that this is the worst machup for pacman
It's not that bad. We have better buttons and projectiles, as well as the ability to edgeguard Hero pretty well but he has the neutral tools to keep us at bay as well as superior range. Its likely even.
@@vick7868 I have never won this MU on elite. Do you have any other tips?
@@plaverbach depends on what they like to do. You need to be in their face a lot but don't be afraid to shield and play defensive at mid-high percents. Just don't run away and camp, you're gonna give them time to buff themselves. Also keep in mind that side b at first or second charge a is great neutral tool and can keep us away pretty well if we aren't careful so watch out for that move when you're on top of them and specifically the level 2 charge of that move when retreating. If they don't tend to use that move to cover retreats you should be fine to chase since Hero isn't the fastest character ever. Elite Smash Hero also tends to rush in when they get Bounce without remembering that we still have better buttons than he does. This has a lesser chance if working in competitive play but on Elite you can usually afford to play just a bit more patiently since he's probably going to commit to something dumb now that our projectiles are invalidated, so you can really get some combo punishes started on them at that point.
Hope this helps! If you want more info you could try visiting the Pac-Man mains Discord, there's a ton of cool people and resources there.
Isn’t Hero not supposed to get same spell twice in a stock? The heck is this?
He can't. You clearly didn't see how often Akakikusu had to repeatedly blitz through multiple menus in order to get the spells he wanted lol. He's just good.
“Twice in a stock”, yes he can multiple of the same spell in one stock. But he cannot get the same spell in a row. He can’t get two bounces in a row nor can he get two kabooms or two oomphs in a row
@@SpyderBey oh didn’t notice damn nuts
@@kajin2422 oh thanks for the info lol
@@marwanbadr9406 The only spell Hero can't use twice a stock is Heal, but otherwise his spells work like this:
First Menu: Choose Bounce
2nd Menu: Impossible to get Bounce
*After waiting for Bounce to wear off
3rd Menu: Chance of getting Bounce returns.
Ban hero his broken tea is so much more a good player than the other
So glad tea won that commentator was annoying lmao
Hero got what he deserved. Well played Tea 👾
Hero is extremely hype! Get over it.
@@Manuelmotivated25 Exactly. Toxic that a Hero main made it this far I guess lol. This shows that Hero is amazing but isn't invincible.
leffen was right about hero
There was no critical hits or magic burst in this set, get over it
@@YounesLayachi LOL exactly. What's up with the salt 🧂
scrub
Leffen was wrong as fuck lol.
This salt is immense.
