@@goosnavslakovic4908I get what you guys are saying but at the end of the day you are being a bit disrespectful to chunky. Losing to the best donkey Kong should never be thought of as a joke. He's a great player. People shouldn't be that afraid to lose, and everyone is capable of losing a set to Chunky, or even people you would consider "far worse". Maybe if they weren't the lower tier characters would get explored more. The less people that play a character, the worst it ends up at the end of the game's life. A lot of those characters could be amazing, but the skill pool is so small because so few people play them and part of it is people being afraid to lose, so don't act like it's a permanent stain upon someone's reputation for losing a set to the best DK. Maybe light is a better player, but the gap isn't that big. The small gap there is means A LOT because it's their job and every inch counts, but if this was like back in the day just hanging out with your friends, it wouldn't mean that much.
@@He-Tries that was not at all a jab to chunky or his skill level at all. I mean if anything, this is the best loss in his career because he's fighting all odds. He is making a mid tier character, at best, work in a tournament setting, and I think even light fans were cheering him on. I think it's just a meme of light losing to heavy low tiers. Like when light lost to nairo's Ganon, Nairo was a better player than light. He was 4th in the US, so it wasn't a jab who light lost to. It was mainly that it was his Ganon. Honestly if chunky played a top tier character, I'm sure his results would be top 15 easy. He's a mad man who's not afraid of anything, and created the best set in the tournament
12:50 You can tell this is deeply personal to Light. I wonder if he's having flashbacks of Nairo's Ganon and is determined not to be the poster boy of heavyweight shenanigans for another 5 years.
That commentary on the first 1:30 couldn’t have been more wrong. Chunky’s patience to not immediately attack while on ledge was immaculate. Not sure what they were seeing lol.
In Ult, whenever you perform a directional airdodge, you move away from the direction you input for a very brief moment before actually moving in the direction you input. This actually matters offstage when you’re airdodging away from the blastzone, since that brief jerk backwards can actually kill you, where a double jump from most characters would not have the same result.
GREAT JOB CHUNKY! I swear people in this community are way too obsessed about which character beats who and they completely forget that Smash is a PLAYER VS PLAYER game first and foremost and not just character vs character. A character is just a set of tools. some are good some bad. But it's the PLAYER that wields them. A bad matchup is NOT a guarantee that it's impossible. Every matchup is winnable with the right amount of skill and practice
nah ppl just overrate fox vs heavies. light has lost to bowser, ganon, kazuya. it's classic grappler v rushdown fox gets in easily but you don't want to get in against heavies you want to keep them out and fox lacks anti-approach tools.
It’s the sticky walk, if your dk Congo throw your opponent and go the ledge (left or right) and tilt ur controller slightly and when the opponent is off stage up b them and you can bair or dair them if they have a bad recovery.
This is like +1 at best. I thought this sh*t was +2, but donkey kong advantage state is literally just as good as fox's. The only difference is the amount of time in advantage state, which ends in the stock anyway. Fox just edges out because he slightly wins neutral. But DK tilts close the gap a little
Chunky was playing insanely good here but man, is it disheartening seeing him land b-airs only for Light to be able to act and punish him before the move's end lag is over. The character imbalance is so blatant.
That's what we get for choosing a heavy. Heavies absolutely destroy lower level players but a monkey with the strength, range, and run speed of DK cannot actually be good without overwhelming the game That said, it would be a hella better world if DK, Incin, Bowser were top 3 instead of Steve, GnW, Sonic, or whatever it is rn
@@The_SOB_II Rivals of Aether is extremely well balanced and it has heavies making up a sizeable portion of its roster. I don't think there's an innate problem where they'll either be too good or weak, Nintendo just doesn't care that much to try and balance the game. Heavies aside it's embarrassing how much worse characters like Kirby, Zelda, Robin, Falco, Isabelle, etc. are compared to the top/high tiers.
@@100organicfreshmemes5true enough , but imo they're quite different games. Rivals is balanced around being a competitive fighter, Smash is built around being friendly for kids. I'm not of the opinion that they needed to balance it for kids, because kids are kids, but that's what they did.
@@The_SOB_II I wouldn't say they're that different, Rivals is explicitly inspired by Smash to the point there are notable similarities between characters. I agree on the balancing though, even balancing it around kids you had some people complaining about heavies like K. Rool who are just noob stompers. Lo and behold even after some nice buffs K. Rool is a low tier.
Seeing Hbox react from Light’s player cam is priceless. The DK punch game win and also game 5 Chunky taking Light to last stock dude jumps out of his seat in excitement 😂
Can Fox shine the top of dk’s up b during all those off stage recoveries? I know he used bair a couple times but that seems like it’d be doable too…and safer. Especially if dk has no double jump
Just proof that chunky made him work for it. It's not a good matchup for DK by any means, but it's actually surprisingly hard for Fox too. DK can just make Fox explode, particularly off-stage or on the ledge. I actually suspected this could be a tough draw for Light.
I noticed chunky really started spamming down Bs late into this set. I would have loved to see him try to land more with Nairs instead. More anti airs with his up air as well and I think he takes this.
Last stock of game two chunkykong gave it away by inputting a dash after the punch. The fully charged monkey punch is -4 on shield so if he had shielded or mashed jab then light would’ve gotten hit and he could’ve gone on to take the game
this is like the most entertaining game i've seen in smash ultimate, pure brain gameplay, neutral.... i don't get the same feel when it is two fast characters vs
How the hell did these two make a pools match this hype
"pools"
this match was in top 64
Well it’s a pools match with two amazing players in it. That happens at every tourney.
Pools is much funner than top 8 in Ultimate....
@@YungLilBoiitop 48 to to top 16 depending the tourneys. Pools is mostly top players crapping on mid tier players.
ChunkyKong gonna make it so people actually start learning how to mash.
You mean learn how to break their controller
Yah, light said himself he has a bad mash.
I sure don't miss the 2019 era
@@mohammadalhusaini810if you mash like you're breaking your controller. You're doing it wrong.
Light never died because of his mash
I remember Marss once said that ChunkyKong demands respect. We know it's DK, but BOY! He plays a MEAN DK to do stuff like this.
His dk is deadly
Is not the character, is the player that makes chunkykong hype
I remember this as well. Ironically Chunky reminds me of Marss himself
Chunky kongs dk should not go this hard though.
I think chunkykong the the most creative pioneer of their respective character throughout all top-level play
Glutonny too
Skyjay too
He's not a "they" dude. Don't insult the guy.
Hungrybox too
He's actually "he/they". Cry about it lol@@damascusraven
Chunky's capitalization on enemies in disadvantage is insane
DK has one of the best advantage states and one of the worst disadvantage states
Marss with the golf clap at the end of the set, lol.
That's my streamer.
He also gave a grand total of 2 claps. XD
Right before game 4, Marss came to Light to say “My monkey, personally, would have won that” 😂
chunky kong has a like a library in his brain about every single ding dong % against every character its insane
He researches that archive on the CSS and then rolls with it.
That laser spam in game 1 has some real "So this is how the great Commander Zhao acts in defeat?" energy.
god i Wish chunky won this. i love light but i need to see dk t8 a major
Needs to be any other DK.
Only Hikaru DK did that
Hikaru is chill as opposed to chunky. Chunky sucks as a person.
@@zyul6420 really?
@zyul6420 you don't know Rylan. At all. So. If you can keep your mouth shut that would be great. Thank you.
I wanted light to lose so bad it would've been like when he lost to Nairo's ganon. Forever comedy gold
I think light realized that too and was not tryna get clowned on for the rest of his life. I think him winning this set saved him from retirement lmao

damn dk is broken yeah
"Dk is broken" LMAO WHAT ARE YOU SMOKIN

Nope. Even some top tiers have unwinnable matchups. But it’s more common with bad characters, yes

It's a +2 matchup for Fox and not even the last game of the set, and Light pops off on a win. That's how good Chunky is
to be fair its a stressful ass MU. bro was dying at like 60% on average. It may be winning for Fox but fox gotta work harder.
55/45

This is the most stressed I've seen Light since he fought Nairo's Ganondorf
You can smell when chunkykong wants a giant punch
Fav set so far, chunky made some amazing plays here.
How did that uptilt come out so fast that ended game one
I'm curious about that too
@@johnbonlender4835 It's cause he does the back air so low to the ground so it auto cancelled the aerial when he landed.

I’ve seen Chunky play throughout the year and he is always mixing up how he plays his DK. It’s amazing to see
This is in my top 3 ultimate sets of all time. Great gameplay by both players
With terrific commentary!
Wow, one of the best sets of the tourney here. Great adaptation and ability to keep his head cool let Light prevail in the end.

Great showing from both players, love to watch Light and Chunky! DIdn't know they've never met in bracket before, neat
What a hype set
