The jab they were discussing at the end was indeed jab 2, not jab 3. Sparg0 held jab prior to marss getting off the ledge, so he got jab 1 twice, with one jab 1 hitting nothing and the next jab 1 hitting marss’s shield. After that he hit marss’s shield with jab 2 before doing the dash back up tilt. It somewhat looks like 3 jabs because of the jab 1 that doesn’t hit anything, but in reality marss did only get hit by jab 1 and 2 on shield. As such it makes sense that he didn’t shield grab.
and to defend marss' decision making even further, pyra's jab 2 is -23 on shield, zss' grab oos is frame 21 meaning marss had exactly 2 frames to realize spargo had stopped at jab 2 and react
wait hol'up it's frame 23? Doesn't that mean zss grab is reactable to jump away from? (reaction time is usually 15 frames iirc) If that's the case: oof.
I remember thinking that Sparg0 gets into a lot of game 5 situations for a player who is supposedly number 2 in the world, and that he eventually would be unseated/upset as a result. However, after watching him over these past few months, it became clear that…he just doesn’t lose in these game 5 scenarios. Players take him to game 4-5 a lot, but 9/10 times he manages to adapt and take the set. Doing so once or twice could be considered lucky. Doing it consistently is a skill.

@@austinroccaro2219 That's not what he meant, compare this set to his set against Leo's Aegis at Summit, Marss got destroyed. At least this time he got to game five. He's slowly getting the hang of the matchup.
@@austinroccaro2219 i mean it's not hard to see that mythra is the better character. Plus I'm not so sure about the cloud win, gimpable characters don't do too hot against zss
Game one was a glimmer of hope that the 2019 Marss is still alive! Edit: I feel like Marss’ downairs in disadvantage cost him a lot through out the set. Just seemed very impatient to reset neutral.
Marss is amazing but it’s hard for him to keep that momentum for more than a match or two with a character as technical & consistent as ZSS. Hope he finds a way someday.
It’s hard playing ZSS; lots of great movement and quick attacks but they’re not active for a lot of frames, and they don’t do a lot of damage or knock back. You need to get those setups and kill confirms in order to take those stocks and at such high level play no one is gonna let a stock (or interaction, for that matter) for free. If only she had a tilt that killed reliably at high percents (like idk ganon, kazuya, Roy), or her down b reset after being hit in the air, or was slightly heavier, if up B worked!…anything, ZSS would be so much better.
I mean, Sparg0 just outplayed him. You can't say it was the matchup when so many of the KO's were straight up reads and/or technical plays. Aegis may be a really good character, but they aren't a broken character with any exploits that get them KO's.
I think you meant technical and inconsistent :P She has some confirms that kill stupidly early, but then other times her moves just don't work and she can struggle to kill at higher percents.
That's a ZSS issue lmao. The same thing happened against phuzix, he just held shield and Marss didn't know what to do. His only saving grace was Phuzix losing his patience and blindly running in, which is exactly what zss wants
8:47 - Epic. It took me about 1500 hours to start tapping into that. It's about reading animations but it takes sooo much focus it's a hard skill to maintain throughout a match!
I'm not a Marss fanboy by any means, but man... fuck Pythra. (Nothing but respect for Sparg0 btw; that guy's mentality, instincts, and tactics are far stronger than the character he plays)
It’s clear from these spargo sets that Aegis wins a lot of air to airs. You have to play patient and camp them out. Stay grounded because their grounded options are not nearly as good. Pyra side b is super punishable after the patch. Think ZSS should avoid grabs vs Mythra. The risk vs reward is largely in Mythras favor. Pretty much any missed grabbed will get dash attacked or punished with a tilt up close. I think ZSS should camp Mythra with gun honestly. Pyra on the other hand can’t punish grabs as easily, but you still don’t want to air to air because she has crazy range.
mythra is too fast to be camped out and just because youre grounded doesnt mean you dont hve to respect their aerials and all mythras tilts are super fast and start combos, and if you shield they have a good grab game lol
I want to pick up ZSS, but shields are just way too strong against her. A lot of her stocks come from aerial pressure. She is also surprisingly weak, like I feel that Sheik actually out damages ZSS by the sheer options Sheik has in neutral. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think ZSS deserves a combo throw and a tilt that leads into a kill confirm (Dtilt or ftilt).
None of her "confirms" actually confirm... they're all DI checks. Since we count DI checks as confirms, dtilt IDJ bair is true until around 130 on midweights.
These are my two favorite players to watch, by far. They play the game the way it's supposed to be played. This felt kind of like watching a Melee set.
It doesn't matter how many mistakes marss makes or how shit he plays his fanboys gunns say zss is low tier and pyra/mythra are top tier and that's why he lost lmfao just look at the comments.
I get that up b out of shield is really good, but after the fourth time that it doesn’t work why is marss still going for it? Especially when spargo is at like 0%?
@@Sancnea I mean you can say this for plenty of ppl tbh.. what zss do you see in top 16s besides marss, what fox do you see besides light, what luigi besides elegant, what bowser besides leon, etc
Spoilers Why did Marss use up b out of shield like 3 times and whiff everytime in game 5? I think it would have been way better to just run away and reset the neutral everytime. Obviously, he is a better player than me, but damn it hurts to see those whiff so much.
he's trying to look for sponsors like co or liquid to sponsor him I think. he's been waiting for real big opportunities. afaik, he's gotten a sponsorship opportunity from moist esports and it's implied OTK also tried to pick him up, but i guess he said no

ZSS and Pythra are in my top 3 favorite characters with 2 of my favorite players so this set was great to watch. I know Mythra is broken but the amount of up air strings Spargo gets when he gets a hit is ridiculous. I wouldn't choose battlefield against Spargo's Mythra because he doesn't miss a single up air with her, it's too much free damage from one of the fastest characters in the game. It's got to be so frustrating not being able to land on Mythra (Spargo) even when using someone with ZSS's mobility. I wouldn't be surprised if Spargo does end up #1 over MKLeo one day.
The more I watch pro play smash, the more I feel that sword characters are boring and broken... Don't misunderstand, I not saying that ZSS is thrash like Marss like to say, it's just that when you create a character that has 2 times the range of others and no real downside to counter it, the game loses a bit of fun and fair play. I think Spargo is an awesome player, like Kola or other sword character players, but it's hard to root for him when you see that
Yeah, i feel the same way. ZSS is definitely a really good character but is not as great as people usually think. Specially when almost every Top Tier and High Tier are losing matchups. The thing is ZSS destroys mid tiers and low tiers, but she gets destroyed against top tiers. Its really difficult to use her as Marss uses her but he’s just built different.
Yeah Marss definitely has to work a lot harder in this matchup in order to win, game 1 was showing what happens when ZSS gets good reads, but it’s a struggle against a character that out damages her, with a better initial dash, grab combos, easy kill confirms, etc. tldr ZSS good but pythra broken
Exactly, that has been my issue with this game since day 1. Insane range, kill power and extremely safe, swordies were fine in previous games, they feel overtuned af in this game a lot of the times.
So one weakness of zzs is her approach, parry her aerials isn't that a big weakness for the inconsistence timing that marss can do but in this level is very important
Poor Marss. Hes one of the best at reading the game thats apparent but zss is holding him back. Maybe he could try joker since he thinks hes 1 or 2 in the game.
@@engelsvladimir7727 yeah this is on marss but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s an absolute shell of the character she once was. I disagree with op saying he needs a new main tho
I don't know what kind of drugs these guys are on that are making them think Mythra's f-smash is a good move. The only thing good about it is its frame data. It's so weak now that it's nearly useless as a KO option unless you're right by the ledge. Marss just got too close to the edge recovering vs a sword character. That's not at all an uncommon range to hit at for the sword characters.
Props to marss for not choosing to switch to a op/free character like a lot are doin now. P/m gets no props from me just because i know how easy it is to get wins with the character. That first match was sick

@@jwil2trilll862 Dood marss has proven that zss beats aegis in the first match. Spargo just adapted to his play style and marss has had a chance to do the same. Zss is actually in a favorable position off stage so if he didn't capitalized on it then it's his fault.
Playing top level ZSS sounds soooo draining. The amount of precise plays you have to make to win stocks in comparison to a character like pythra is crazy

Yeah Marss definitely has to work a lot harder in this matchup in order to win, game 1 was showing what happens when ZSS gets good reads, but it’s a struggle against a character that out damages her, with a better initial dash, grab combos, easy kill confirms, etc. tldr ZSS good but pythra broken
wdym no real downside, just edgeguard them
Exactly, that has been my issue with this game since day 1.
Insane range, kill power and extremely safe, swordies were fine in previous games, they feel overtuned af in this game a lot of the times.
@@Esteban-R2 Zss MU spread against top and highs is not even bad.
So one weakness of zzs is her approach, parry her aerials isn't that a big weakness for the inconsistence timing that marss can do but in this level is very important
Great game from both players. That said, I hope sparg0 keeps winning… if he doesn’t, who would all the smash fanboys bitch about next?
Poor Marss. Hes one of the best at reading the game thats apparent but zss is holding him back. Maybe he could try joker since he thinks hes 1 or 2 in the game.
????? And zss is 3 in the game
@@franciscovaldes4107 OMG nice joke
@@franciscovaldes4107 definitely not anymore
Always blame the character whenever a top player starts doing bad 😂. Not even after seeing leo win stacked tourneys with byleth.
@@engelsvladimir7727 yeah this is on marss but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s an absolute shell of the character she once was. I disagree with op saying he needs a new main tho
I don't know what kind of drugs these guys are on that are making them think Mythra's f-smash is a good move. The only thing good about it is its frame data. It's so weak now that it's nearly useless as a KO option unless you're right by the ledge.
Marss just got too close to the edge recovering vs a sword character. That's not at all an uncommon range to hit at for the sword characters.
Props to marss for not choosing to switch to a op/free character like a lot are doin now. P/m gets no props from me just because i know how easy it is to get wins with the character. That first match was sick
Yeah pyra and mythra are free asf, but we can't forget spargo also has a cloud with whom he can beat most players. So it's not him being carried imo
Someone's crying just because their boy lost to a boy😉
@@redfieldwong717 noones crying here. Thanks your stopping by to troll though, your welcome to put your opinion in the main comment section and get off my shit tho
@@gianz2066 I wasnt by any means saying spargos carried. I just dont respect p/m. I wish spargo would go back to straight cloud like the old days.

Dood marss has proven that zss beats aegis in the first match. Spargo just adapted to his play style and marss has had a chance to do the same. Zss is actually in a favorable position off stage so if he didn't capitalized on it then it's his fault.
I respect the heck out of Sparg0 but man Aegis is so boring to watch. I liked him better as Cloud
Holy shit Marss was sooo lost that last stock. Like those up b’s? That down smash? Honestly can’t even blame him. What a crazy set.
I remember that marss told to esam that he can beat sparg0...
I would agree with this comment if it was a 3-0 wash. It was 3-2 so yes, he still CAN beat Sparg0 even if he hasn't just yet.
I only see that marss lose and spargo win.
Lol
I mean this was close so he definitely can
@@aldairrocha159 why are you so toxic in every comment
@@mattkase8880
Because i want..

IS HE WEARING REAL PANTS????
nice game
Marss got DLC’d
That sword is busted
Playing top level ZSS sounds soooo draining. The amount of precise plays you have to make to win stocks in comparison to a character like pythra is crazy
