Mang0 video tomorrow and then we'll be on break until next Tuesday. We hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving! (Or for non-USA viewers, a nice Thursday)
Happy smashing and Happy Thanksgiving PGstats
*Sin Kiske Day
mango video but no amsa ?
@@luisadrianochoasanchez1403 We are working on a longer form piece for amsa that highlights his career and is a bit more indepth. Similar to how we did with "The Legend of Game 4 Leo" and "The Legend of Loser's Bracket Mang0".
@@pgstats thanks
Well you definitely got a storm coming 😅
So glad the panelists selected kola and zomba for the panda cup finale, they both hella deserve it
wadi low-key got kinda robbed tho looking at it lmao, if there was a third spot he probably woulda gotten in
Zomba sure kola nah
@@ohcomeon1111 the criteria was
1. Good placements at panda cup tournaments (both players have been one away from qualifying)
2. Wins over qualified players (which both definitely have)
They both deserve it
@@jinxeatsdust like recent wins or throughout their career?
@@ohcomeon1111 recent
Honestly big props to Japanese talent proving that wherever they are that they are good. Hope to see more from this dominant region
They've been like that though. It was just Zackray, Shuton, and Kameme then though. Tea was also already nice. But I do agree in the sense that they're REestablished. Idk if it was the ENTIRE rest of the world or not, but NA (AVERAGE VIEWERS, NOT PLAYERS. SORRY FOR CONFUSION) sure did an amazing job just not including Japan region players in their top lists for some reason.
@@lyrics2challenged na players give due credit and respect to jp players, wym?
it's just sometimes it's hard to rank them in an integrated list because a lot of them either don't travel that much or still haven't traveled.
@@lyrics2challenged
Japan in 2019 was good but the meta was still developing and finding their footing
Japan NOW won the most tournaments overseas.
All I know is, NA, is superior to japan. Mk leo exist, scrubs.
@@Yokai_Yuri no its not. Japan is the stronger region atm. Mkleo is amazing but that just one player, you have to look at the whole picture. It not even fair to compare because NA players don't even travel to Japanese event. If jetlag wasn't an issue japan would even be more dominant. We are seeing this with aMsa in melee cause he staying in canada.
As a Mega Man main, seeing this resurgence of Mega Man with Peabnut and MPg doing well and even Trim getting 5th at VCA a while back has me very happy. It’s always nice to have some character variety and diversity in this game!
as a mega man hater… it is kinda cool. it’s hard to dislike mega man mains cause they’re all kinda hype, but goddamn that move kit frustrates me. especially when the person wants to frustrate you
If only kameme drop his sora
@@DYLisDEAD Watching Mega Man players >>> Playing against Mega Man players. That’s an opinion a lot of people have, and that’s okay
@@hieuduong2213 Kameme still plays Mega Man sometimes against Snake and whenever he doubts his Sora (like vs Light at Glitch Regen). And his Sora is still pretty fun to watch. So this is fine, and at least we have others to carry on his legacy.
What happened to Repo
Zomba isn’t the hero we wanted but the hero we needed. He was so close to qualifying for the panda cup events a lot of the times.
Apex 2022 wasn’t a major tbh. And saying that the smash weekend is calm before the championship ain’t correct. There’s winner! Next #1 sumabato sp 32 and seibugeki 12 the upcoming weekends.
well it does qualify as a major but i know what you mean. this tournament was like 1/50th as stacked as ludwigs
I'd classify it as a major, personally, but it certainly on the edge considering the relative lack of top players
It's one of those tournaments that are "not really a major major but still a major" kinda like riptide
I friggin love the whole subplot of East (Japan) vs West (NA/EU) lol it's awesome seeing them "invade" and us trying to defend our territory.
They've already conquered Europe and most of NA
I would love to see the reverse as well!
@@ibrahimbeats MKLeo, Dabuz, Riddles, Kola and Hbox are in the upcoming Umebura's (Jan 7-8) attendees list. I'm so excited!
@@Sancnea Leo never planned on going, and dabuz and riddles’ plans fell through. Kola light goblin hbox and some other USA players are going though.
@@smh3920 Yeah that comment was before I learned of everything that happened. Also, Leo did plan to go initially. He and L4st mentioned that they were both going to Umebura a few weeks ago in stream.
So Moist has 3 of his 4 players in the Panda Cup, that's sick
if only gob beat anathema, sadge
(no disrespect to Steven btw gob was just in my dream qualified for DhAtlanta)
moky hasnt qualified so only 3/5 if u include melee
@@testsubject7881 turns out he got invited by panelists so goblin really is the only one missing
Storm cancelled 💀
this video is so eerie now
Can’t tell if this title aged like milk or wine
Both
If Zomba didn’t get the vote in you guys would have never heard the end of it
Mkleo vs Tweek
Hbox vs Mango
Zomba vs a Panda cup spot
Name a more iconic matchup
ESAM vs DQ
*Zomba vs a qualifier tournament*
Dark wizzy vs dq
2:09 did not age well
This video turned out to be surprisingly aptly named.
Zomba definitely deserves that spot
Let’s go Prince if New York
Oh it was a storm alright
Title was a little too accurate
I find Comona and Last mentioning that they both sound different is hilarious.
When I first heard them it took a video or two for me to notice tbh
(Sorry LOL)
Same here!😭
Imma miss this channel
We still have turndownforwalt.
@@fupalover he only does melee
So sad for kept, i hope he wont start traveling less in the future because of this
its moments like 4:56 that really make me appreciate the consistency and effectiveness of yalls editing
"SMASH LEGEND" WTF I LOVE YOU GUYS IM CRYING cant wait for 2023!!! IL BE BACK!
Another special fact about Apex 2022. Local NJ Ike main "MNI" placed 65th after being seeded 336, with an SPR of +4!
I hope Luugi and Crêpe Salee will start travelling. Crêpe Salee is 14 so he won't but I would love to see him go overseas in a few years. That kid is insane....3-0 vs Chag and Palutena is said to be bad for Wario. He also took Sisqui and Fatality to game 5
Not mentioned in the video is that Jakal's 5 game win against MPg was also a reverse 3-0 comeback where Jakal opened up game 5 with a 0-death. His losers run at Apex was absolutely insane.
I've loved luugi ever since i started attending UK events
5:10 we're seeing a renaissance of top level character variety and it's awesome, it feels like most people play unique characters even in the era of Steve and Kazuya
Can't wait to see the next PGStats video. Hopefully it will explain why Smash World Tour got canceled and why most of the top talent has decided to boycott Panda. :) Next Tuesday, you say? Calm before the storm indeed.
Although the Panda Cup Finale seems interesting I think the lack of International representation (Japan & Europe) makes it a little bit underwhelming compared to the SWT. This feels in my opinion more like a very stacked NA invitational rather than a End-Season Final.
Still I think will be a great tournament and looking up for it, though.
I'm sorry. I can't watch this without almost dying everytime the narrator says Quandale Dinglelingleton's name out loud 🤣 🤣 🤣
Every time😂
Bro i feel so bad for kept
It was funny watching the back and forth between people giving different old tournaments registration for swt after it ended solely to give Kept, Jakal and Sriks more points. A clause in the SWT ruleset stopped this tho but it's interesting thinking about what could have been
What happened to kept?
@@rookeyji5177 he travelled all across the world entering tournaments and grinding a character nobody thought was good, and after all of that, he still didn't make it.
Congrats to zomba getting voted in. My god he deserves it lol so unlucky
So happy for zomba, my man came in the reach for the spot like 4 time
5:30 LeoN's most recent major top 8 was port priority 6, actually
"Rageeena" 😂 I actually grew up in Regina, and the usual saying is "the city that rhymes with fun". I would have loved to travel back home to see Riddles take that win
Luugi is stupid underrated. He’s repping all of us Luigi mashers up in the the top levels of play.
Hes been under the radar for some time but this tourney he took will cement him as a threat in the future
They're also repping the region of East England
Cam on luugi! Take some fackin stocks!
Them acknowledging they sound “different” cracked me up 🤣🤣 love these vids ❤
Zomba actually got in lmao
Great coverage the only thing I would have loved you to include is the information that crepe salee is only 14 years old! He will be rising fast
Kola got voted in let’s go!!!
12:04 NO YALL DIDNT!! Is that an indirect shoutout when i said that shit on Twitter?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One small detail you failed to mention about Crêpe salée explaining why he didn't travel much : he is 14 years old
So we are finally going to acknowledge that Komona and L4st are the same person…
Mega man stonks have been going up recently
And I’m sure they’ll continue to go up. Or, at least I hope they do.
Yeah Mr. R dropped Chrom because he’s literally unviable at top level Chrom still high tier tho I promise
Boys we finally got the narrator to pronounce Smashmate correctly.
I don’t think T stopped play competitively. He still is but that much
5:34 As someone from New Jersey,
yeah
NO WAY L4ST AND KOMONA ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST L4ST
If anyone hasn't seen Miya vs. Acola in Sumabato29, you should!
As a Canadian, the short geography section was funny, but probably necessary. Props!
It's true, the East and the West for Canada rarely meet. Maybe once a year.
This whole time I thought Last and Kamona (not sure if I spelled it right) were the same person and the mic set up was different.
as someone from Saskatchewan who plays smash, shoutout to saskatchewan. Ps Regina is the city that rhymes with fun and not Regina like the name :)
9:22 I appreciate that WaDi callout.
Dingleingleton: I cannot stop laughing at this name. Genius!
I ate a ghost pepper thirty minutes before this video came out and at the whitest possible event to Friendsgiving
big props to Zomba for being the anti-qualifier in tournies, all jokes aside i'm stoked to watch him play
Note: gluto was Seed 2 at Tech Republic
Bloom was Seed 1
really hope something like this will be back.
13:26 ayo LETS GO IGREG
"Like a ghost pepper at a white man's barbeque...." that's... dang man.... nice job.
quality work every video. comments for the algorithm if nothing else.
Low key I think top level mega man is kinda hype so it’s great to see mega man make an appearance
Panda cup finale line up looks absolutely perfect
9:08 Bruh i love this channel
Best announcer in PGstats, I LOL listening all the time
Very sad to see kempt out.
MPg is so sick
biggest twist is that the first half of the video wasnt last lol
Punch Out music at the start? I dig it.
15:15 Don't want to be THAT Canadian, but Regina is said as Vagina but with the Re instead of the Va.
Somebody told me that before I did the voiceover and I thought I was just getting Pranked
Isn't Crêpe Salée like 14 years old?
no way i thought l4st and the other guy are diffrent people, i thought it was the same person LMAO
Bro, Anathema wearing a twenty one pilots shirt was so funny.
Riddles said on his channel he won 50 thousand dollars lol. whatda
december is stacked asf
I think megaman is finally gonna get its uprise
Im starting to feel like France might not be the best European country, and Instead the UK might actually be a stronger scene.
I feel like France is the most "active" (as in, hosts the most events and has the biggest playerbase) but not the strongest european country
The WaDi impression is on point
dabuz is a match up check and if anyone knows how to deal with his weird characters then he kinda falls flat
I was at the Regina tournament, it was so good.
GP interview better be in the EoE vid
Ghost pepper at a white man’s barbecue 😂
Was nightmare on smashville not a major? Maister won that
So THAT'S why people were saying "rip kept" in twitch chat
Let's go Silver! Such a solid guy in RL
No Suarez 3-1 over zomba upset mentioned?😊
What's going on with elegant? Really haven't seen anything about him since that dq for alchohol abuse
How do you not talk about suarez beating zomba
Lmao y’all sound different enough…back to back anyway 🤣
For all the videos I just thought the second commentator was the first when he ess maybe feeling a bit tired and not as energetic
Ever since Elegant got banned, Im confident Luugi is the best Luigi player right now. Not only has he taken multiple sets off top players like Tarik, Lancelot, Ogey, Streakz, Peli, Emass, darkthunder and Owlbb but he has also won a major and has consistently topped multiple tourneys. The kid is super young right now so I'm excited to see where he goes in the future. He has a lot of potential and shows what Luigi is capable of
Yeah he's shaping up to be one of the biggest threats in europe, maybe even top 5
Whys he banned?
@@ohcomeon1111 ua-cam.com/video/UBBh1w86YHw/v-deo.html
@@ohcomeon1111 He uhhh... pissed the community off let's say
@@ohcomeon1111 facts i didn't even know i was wondering where he was he had a dope luigi
i love seeing pumbers cheese people with death combos (i dont) (rolls eyes)
EAST OF INGERLAND BABY WOOO
Why did the top 3 seeds DQ? Realized they wanted a few weeks off before SWT Finals?
omg last and comona in the same video
Another amazing video
Woooo lets goooo brits
Welp
