@@Jazara- Definitely agree I don’t think he’s as bad as most make him out to be, but playing Villager sorta feels like playing a Smash 4 character in Ultimate’s physics.
Nah don't say that, he'd either simply outplay everyone with a mid tier or he'd pick someone better haha. Kept is doing pretty well using Villager + Diddy.
Now that you’re commenting this it’s all coming back to me 😂😂 I need to watch that set tonight, I can’t remember exactly what the play is but I remember them playing and me popping off so hard
Ive probably watched this video like at least once every 2 weeks since this video came out. Ranai is my favorite player in any competitive game and he gives me a lot of inspiration, in life and the game, mostly because of his mindset. I wish I could interview him
I think there’s a misconception about Zero being almost stumped in the match against Ranai, and Zero in general. He was the best player for a reason and it wasn’t just some idle talent. Zero STUDIED the game to death, watched others play like in actual video recordings or on like a disc or tape, he labbed a lot, while overcoming so many external-personal issues besides getting better at the game. He was the true grinder, Zero has stated that he would watch recordings and pick up on their bad habits. He played Diddy, Shiek, Bayo, and Meta Knight. The most broken characters in their respective time, which makes people bat an eye, but he put in so much work. It actually makes me happy to hear Zero trumping everyone for so long including Japan because of who he is/was as a player and his background.
AFAIK he doesn’t talk much about smash anymore, I checked out his Twitter while researching and nothing seemed to be about smash (though it’s all in Japanese). I hope we get to see him play Ult sometime though even if it’s just on someone’s live stream playing sets or something we would see that a lot in Smash 4 with top brawl players who weren’t active anymore
He had been playing the game for a while, if he had competed, he would've had a head start on everyone else before the game released. Earth has competed, and I think it'd be fine if he came back, but Ranai was playing Granblue last I checked.
Basically Nintendo brought a group of like 5+ Pro Japanese smashers to join the development team. AFAIK they had an agreement where as long as the game was actively being updated they couldn’t compete in events. I’m guessing they think they’ll have some sort of advantage or possibly because they didn’t want to patch the game based on tournament’s, rather what Nintendo thought needed to be changed so having people who compete actively would caused Comp biased changes
Can’t believe Ranai was a play tester and let them release villager like that, where’s the love
😂😂😂 IKR
In Ult I don’t think he’s bad but he’s just so overwhelmingly mid
@@Jazara- Definitely agree I don’t think he’s as bad as most make him out to be, but playing Villager sorta feels like playing a Smash 4 character in Ultimate’s physics.
@@MrHxChris that was perfect way to put it, he just feels slow and left in sm4sh’s dust
ong he an op now it really be your own sometimes
@@wumiam2 a mix of that and losing his kill power somewhat, and recovery is slower for some reason. Jab 2 combo starter was nice too.
Can’t believe these new ultimate players don’t know the legend of ranai 😭 banger as always
I miss Ranai so much. I wish he played ult, but with how villager is in ultimate I'm glad he didn't.
I feel that, who knows though maybe we would all be thinking villager goes hard if he played

What an amazing video ! Tyvm for this Ranai recap, from a Villager Soloist since Day 1 hahaha
His hypest set is with Nairo where he got one of the best shield break punishes ever seen to man
Now that you’re commenting this it’s all coming back to me 😂😂 I need to watch that set tonight, I can’t remember exactly what the play is but I remember them playing and me popping off so hard
@@Jazara yeah I think it was Civil war. Definitely one of the best sets of smash I have ever watched
fifty three percent?! bruh i wasnt ready
Man, this video takes me way back. This truly was one of the hypest eras of the series with one of the hypest players.
Ive probably watched this video like at least once every 2 weeks since this video came out. Ranai is my favorite player in any competitive game and he gives me a lot of inspiration, in life and the game, mostly because of his mindset. I wish I could interview him
Beautiful video loved it, great content!
Being there live for this was honesty so cool.

One day, Villager will win a Super Major, it could be possible since Kept beated the Best Ness player, Villager is the best character in my heart.
Goated video. Cannot wait for the next one
Thank you!!!
amazing video !! cant wait for more. big fan of smash history videos
Thank you! Be sure to stick around then I’m going to be posting a lot of Smash History videos in 2023!
It's worth noting now that Earth is making his return soon. Maybe we'll get to see Ranai return too... but that's major hopium.
great video, glad to be your 998th subscriber!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
ranai was different
Since he was a play tester he prolly had them next Sheik
That intro had me way too hyped to hear about Ranai competing in Ultimate.
😢
Good coverage on one of the hypest sets across Sm4sh’s lifespan, though!
Sorry to tease you like that 😂 glad you enjoyed!!
Has Ranai ever expressed any interest in competing again? It'd be insane to see his Ult villager if he has one lol

What does it mean to not play a game because you’re a play tester
If he had competed it would have been an unfair advantage.
He had been playing the game for a while, if he had competed, he would've had a head start on everyone else before the game released.
Earth has competed, and I think it'd be fine if he came back, but Ranai was playing Granblue last I checked.
