Love to see both of these guys play, and Fatality did remarkably well considering the matchup, the fact that Light is top 5 or 10, and that he just came back from a hiatus. Great set from both players.
fatally gifted him that first stock and was one hit away from dying. Not exactly a “get serious” moment. …unless light thought he could actually lose. Which actually may have been possible honestly, fatality was going for some crazy sht. Idk. Man it would’ve been really funny to see light lose after having such a lead and rolling up his sleeves. …well, maybe not funny, but I wanted to see fatality make a hype comeback.
@@asnwolf4507 there was an interview later on, light said that he was scared as fuck during this set. Even if you have the lead or are playing well, playing vs someone as explosive as fatality can be super scary in the moment lol
these two are my fav smash players. it’s nostalgic/ironic for me to see them play because as a kid, i used to main fox on melee and my older brother captain falcon. 😅 i was about 4 years old at the time
It is so nice to see Fatality start playing Falcon like he used to. I was worried he was starting to regress, but it looks like he's gotten over whatever was troubling him and is back to his old self again.
@@valone Light interviewed after and said he was terrified haha, even admitted if falcon was higher tier it would've probably been different (falcon low mid, fox high tier)
@@A_Shut-in_NEET Falcon isn't even top 30, so I wouldnt call him high tier. Mid Tier for sure. He may have a lot of power but if you do horrible agaisnt top tiers, which he does.... thats just gonna place you lower
Man, when someone says "smash tournament" something like this comes out in mind Sorry i just love brawler characters such as Fox or Captain Falcon, its just so hype greetings from Mexico
Every time I see Fatality playing in competition after every match he genuinely looks like an npc that got just got a business call. He’s got nerves of steel.
I don’t get why so many ppl doubt fatality’s abilities with this character mainly about if he’s still the best Falcon. Yeah he took some time away from competitive and some Falcons came to the forefront during his absence. But as long as he’s been away, he came back like he never left and can still excel where others falcons can’t when fighting fellow top players. Not ONE of the best. THE best.
It feels like the very best falcons are all at a similar level rn and not a clear cut ahead of the others. Jogibu is better than Karaage overall but it's not a mega difference, same with Fatality being vaguely better than Sean (basing that off events they've both attended simultaneously). If you sent the four of them to the same series of tournaments, I wouldn't care to predict the highest placers. Ogey is a bit of a wildcard, not seen much from him recently. Edit: can't believe I forgot Andrik! I'm not sure where I'd rate him compared to the others but it'd be near the top.
Fatality is not bad. He consistently holds his own against top level players. He may not place among the gods like Leo and Spargo, but he is by no means bad. How many "bad" players do you know that can take a game off Light and bring him to last stock every game?
I once came across fatality on elite smash, first game I managed to take a stock and second game he figured me out and proceeded to 3 stock the crap outta me, he didn’t rematch me after that 😐. Pro players are truly remarkable.
Guys fatality has really improved so much in terms of optimising, playstyle (effectiveness), variety, mixup and innovation gameplay. I'm talking about since the lockdown times when he relied too much on side b omg he has revolutionised himself in smash. Let's see where he goes now. Btw light is good but he was this good almost already or better, it's fatality that has somemaxingly betteremrnted
Fatality played this very well and kept it close! This matchup can really suck for Falcon, and of course Light is incredible. Great set. Fatality haters, do what you love to do. Go ahead.
@@zanyskeleton5291Fox forces an approach and Falcon only has a few viable options to do so. Only a few moves (f-tilt, nair, bair, side-b) are even remotely safe on shield and only when well spaced, so Fox can play defensively. It’s not a horrific matchup, but a good Fox can play around his approaches and punish them without too much trouble. Fox also has more viable kill confirms because of how many of how nair, fair, and dair can lead to an upsmash. I’d say it’s like +1 or +2 for Fox. Honestly I’m very impressed with how well Fatality did here.
@@toastgod1276Definitely +1 in favor of Fox. Even though Fox has all that stuff that you mentioned he dies mad early and because of his fall speed, he falls right into all of falcon’s kill confirms. Falcon is also a little faster than Fox on the ground so running away to disengage isn’t as viable for Fox. Falcon’s edgeguarding can also blow Fox up because the worst thing that can happen to you offstage as Falcon in that matchup is that you have to tech and Fox recovery is garbage. But because neutral is so important in this meta, and Fox’s Nair and Dash attack are so good, Fox still wins imo.
You just can’t make mistakes against Light, he capitalizes so well off of them (and you know…Fox is broken). Anyway, much love to Fatality! I know I’m not the only one glad to see him back in action
Fun match! I was totally rooting for falcon ill always love the captain he was my main on 64 version and i remeber epic fox vs falcon battles with friends.
Fatality was incredible but I feel like he got too aggressive toward the end there, a lot of those up-smashes could've been punished if he blocked or stepped away and ran back to attack immediately after. I understand why he was so aggressive though, you have to almost all the time especially against someone like Light so he doesn't get too much of a momentum
Dunno why Fatality gets so much hate, he is a hype af player playing a hype af character and he generally puts on a good show and makes for exciting games. Nibbers gonna hate him because he loses vs top players who main largely advantageous characters vs Falcon? Idc, i enjoy seeing him push his character to the limit and pull off balsy shenanigans.
I think it's cause a lot of people give fatality a pass for mistakes he makes and pin it on Falcon. Like it's not unreasonable to say that fatality does tend to make reckless moves and get punished for it.
he was on a roll post pandemic 2021 getting alot of top 8 under his belt, what the heck are u even talking about? bet we don't even watch the same game.
@oddlyblue literally looking at his results now and hasn't had a top 8 at a major since let's make big moves 2022 lmao, 33rd at Mainstage, 13th at Low Tide, 13th at Port Priority, 33rd at Frostbite. They are all 2021. Seems like it's you that doesn't know what their talking about
@@MiltonMilter i said 2021. I wasn't referring to right now. Stop moving the goal post cause i called you out on not knowing the entirety of his results.
He’s probably not too confident in his reaction time so he goes for stupid reads that will never connect and at that point light catches on to his strategy so light goes harder on punishment
Never thought I'd get to see fatality vs light also glad to see them both recently in tournaments
He actually got Light to roll up the sleeves, so that's pretty good. GGz, Fatality!

I wanted this for a long, long time. These two to go at it!
He is definitely upping his game. He is reading and he feeling it more or just improved his game. Definitely a stronger Falcon.
his falcon is insane
Sean is insaner
Sets without fighter pass 2 characters are the best, I'm really happy to see those players keeping up old school characters to the top
yo Ive been waiting for these two to face off for YEARS
Every time I see Fatality playing in competition after every match he genuinely looks like an npc that got just got a business call. He’s got nerves of steel.
Falcons up smash is like brawl snake up tilt
First time they've ever played
Wow finally this happened and it was a damn good set.
Really great gameplay from fatality, hella tough mu for falcon
It's even, but you have to bait and punish Fox the entire time

NOT THE SLEEVES LIGHT ANYTHING BUT THE SLEEVES
The amoutn of commitment and reading you need to do as falcon is commendable.
Fox is on point. When Light is hyped, he is literally unstoppable.
Amzing game
This is a good match up
Dang, Fatality had the momentum and lost it all with that SD in game 3.
Hate to see one loose. Love to see em play. The only player I like more.....Skyjay
why do some moments here looks so slow, like the frame drops are much worse than my switch
Are they gonna pay my deductible when I grip my phone hard enough to crack the screen?

Mi two favorite players ❤❤
Light is definitely running tilt stick now
Did fatality actually retire?
Light is Just the Fox bro, always Entertaining to watch
Light dominated the game, great job!!!
I love how he say fatality is “one of the best falcons” as if there’s someone out there better than him
Every time I watch a Light match I can’t help wondering how long it took him to get that scary good with Fox and how high his GSP score is lol.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Light made a good comeback that game four!
Falcon-Fox seems barely playable yet Griffin managed to hold his ground against no other than Light. I was hoping for a game 5 but well, ggs
7:38 The stress I would feel against Light...
Fox's up smash is more infuriating than the entirety of Steve as a character.
You just can’t make mistakes against Light, he capitalizes so well off of them (and you know…Fox is broken). Anyway, much love to Fatality! I know I’m not the only one glad to see him back in action
Fatality got robbed game 3 with that firefox.
Fun match! I was totally rooting for falcon ill always love the captain he was my main on 64 version and i remeber epic fox vs falcon battles with friends.
