I LOVE passionate video essays about things I don’t care about

id love to see an iceys ditto one day, desyncs go from already unreliable and difficult to downright impossible with the second climber, due to this, all grabs would also become downright unusable as the second climber can buffer a forward smash and punish both popo and nana, leading to a net loss for the grabber. BigD Vs CoffeeJR when?

IMO, if Sonix won this event, it’d put him in serious contention for number 1 at the time Even after his bad lumi invitational run, he’s atp still top 3, or at least still in the top 4

smash players finally taking a bath and seeing water (it makes people "take damage" and its a stage hazard so it gives a unfair advantage)

kola is amazing and makes roy look good and actually strong and viable even though we all know the truth about roy.

MKleo. 2020. Frostbite.

Sonix in 2nd place what a surprise

it never even occurred to me that people still play Smash for 3DS. that sounds kinda awesome, actually, lol

Because competitive players dont like fun

Sonix having the second greatest losers run is truly salt in the wound

Btw if you jump it resets the rng of menu it has a new set of spells

Games?

Why are they banned? People being snobs not wanting to have fun in tournaments.

corrin definitely should be somewhere in high tier, probably, at the very least, maybe.

because "fun" is a foreign concept to competitive game players

Because they don’t want to have fun

Not mentioning Leo's frostbite run for the first 18 minutes of the video had me seriously on edge lol

What's next gonna take away songs?!

Because competitive players are silly and don't understand that it's a party game and stage hazards are part of the strategy.

JEFFDABOSS INDIANA MENTIONED???

into the am is a good spomser

Importance is such a dumb category it’s super subjective and then based off categories that are waaaaay outside of the losers run itself and shouldn’t be used to determine how good a losers run is.

I think a losers run that tends to get overlooked a bit is Hurt’s performance at Delta 5. While probably not in contention for the best losers run ever, he is one of only 3 players to beat both Acola and Miya at the same tournament (the other 2 being Spargo and Sonix), in addition to scoring wins on other top 20 players Shuton, Ken, and Yaura.

MkLeo's losers run at Frostbite 2020 is definitely my pick.

Ignore this - Commenting for the algorithm

Id say spargo at kag 10 slightly beats out leo at frostbite considering how much higher the skill level of play has gotten and that it was the first non iapanese player to win a japanese major

Because people don't like fun.

sonix 2nd place again lmoa

Little known secret: every character in ultimates roster is solo viable

While it only resulted in a fourth place, I wanna give a shout out to Dabuz's losers run at Double down 2022. He won 12 sets in a row if I'm not miscounting, with wins over Chag, Ned, Kurama, Sonix, Jakal and KEN.

Honestly. I respect Sonix a whole lot more because of this loser's run. It was actually really good, it was beautiful tbh.

superb video

The fact that Sparg0’s win at Kagaribi 10 was the first time a North American won a Japanese Supermajor makes it even better

Really amazing analysis!

Probably my own losers run. I've been a loser for 26 years now. I'll likely be running for 74 more years. Hard to beat that.

Acola played STEVE, it doesn’t count

RYUOH MENTIONED ❤❤

(It's pronounced lawed not loud, your videos are great, absolutely love them, please don't take this as more than a minor correction for someone who's content I really enjoy seeing and made me like Melee despite myself)

Man, people will really try and fundamentally change a game through its competitive ruleset before considering the possibility that maybe they just don't like the game.

Because comp hates astmetry. I state my case.

IF SONIX WON SUPERNOVA IT WOULDVE BEEN THE BEST RUN IN ALL OF SMASH But it’s not so that’s really an unfortunate way to say that Mkleo’s Frostbite was better simply because he won

Sonix can't help but get 2nd, even in this video 😭

The conclusion of this video was hilarious, great one.

everything said here is right, but also consider that these lower level players of a characters prolly study the higher level players gameplay alot more then the higher level player watches the lower level players gameplay. so the lower level player is likely more familiar with their opponents play style

21 minutes for the second-place meme payoff. I respect it.

Mr. 2nd place does it again lol

THE KING OF SECOND PLACE

Leo's frostbite run was nutty

Another losers run worth mentioning is Kuroponzu's run at sumabato 47 which was a 12 set losers run to 2nd from a player whos previous best placement at a major was 13th. This might be the most impressive losers run if you take into account the player it came from given that 8 out of his 12 wins were upsets.
