Although I think Zain played poorly here, you have to give credit to Cody for always applying so much pressure to Zain to shake him up this much. Cody is definitely Zain's new demon.
zain didnt have his pillow and amsa didnt have his contacts, but if you play fox, you understand that this was not a fluke. i feel like im back in melee hell, seeing people talk about how fox is op and shit, but if you actually know what it takes to input these moves on a gcc, ON TOP OF MAKING READS LIKE THESE, youd know this is not "robotic" play. cody might have been playing against a weak zain and amsa but he was fucking SWAGGIN. pick up a controller. this is just actually insane melee. these two are pushing the game to its limits and cody is proving his #1 spot. edit: i kinda feel like the best of ten to prove zain or cody is #1 was bullshit. zain was obviously weak and went on to play so much better, and for a while, even tho im a fox main who loves cody, i didnt think it was well earned but seeing combos and inputs like this make me think he really has been doin the work. bro is a genius.
i dont think it did, but i'm curious @2:41 cody was standing on the grass slant and his dtilt came out sorta angled because of it. it seems like he even reacts to it, i wonder if it would have hit if he was on flat ground there.
I hate to see Zain playing this way. He doesn't normally miss so many things, is it really pressure? As soon as he threw that f-smash that got him killed and got hit with that get up attack in game one, I knew it was over
Zain's just not clutch/ doesn't deal with pressure well AT ALL. I don't dislike Zain by any means. I think he's actually an awesome guy (for the little I know him). But Zain has the most major grand finals lost from winner's side in history. He's incredibly strong and talented, but he's a choker.
@alexaristud6340 But Zain is also the best marth in the world... Zain doesn't win bc hes playing marth and Cody doesn't win because he's playing fox... Literally the narrative of ppl in these comment sections and reddit change vs who's up in sets or even who wins certain sets. Zain will never be good enough to invalidate the way a fox can play, ceiling in this game is impossibly high It's all cope man
@EclipsingMomentum And Zain is the only Marth who could consistently beat Cody, Leffen, mang0, moky, etc. Before that, m2k was the only marth who beat leffen consistently and lost majority of the time to mang0. The best foxes only lose to the best marths, and vice versa.
That's what happens when you're a professional competitor, quite literally the whole point is to abuse meta and use a character's OP aspects to your advantage! Every sport and esport is the same
you guys wanna upload the matches in order??? and it being uploaded all late and wack ppl in the comments sections just straight up spoil the entire tournament in pre-matches which is crazy, honestly love that keep it up...
@@chandlermccoy1813 I guess it's a preference. I know Fox is insane but the way he feels and looks just doesn't appeal to me. I feel all I see is Neutral Air, Lasers, Drill, Down Throw to Up Air. It's not that he is cheap or easy

It's also easy to let those opportunities slip by that your opponent gives you. Cody's #1because he takes advantage of everything.
Nah Amsa is Zain’s demon
@TheBeggies95 zain hasn't taken a set off Cody since shine 2023 though, and Cody still won the tournament

Of course he is doing the work. The guy is crazy about melee and has a very strong desire to win.
Is Cody beating Zain in every set they've played, since shine 2023 winners finals, also bullshit?
i dont think it did, but i'm curious @2:41 cody was standing on the grass slant and his dtilt came out sorta angled because of it. it seems like he even reacts to it, i wonder if it would have hit if he was on flat ground there.
i love this finished game

@MM_Teal it's actually Armada who has the most grand finals losses from winners side. Genesis, Gtx, Evo 2016, Royal Flush
Cody is not real bruh he's way too good 😂
Matches uploaded out of order :/ this came before Zain amsa winner finals
Cody with the confidence of a confident man
They keep switching to sheik vs Zain but they keep losing. No need to complain about the fox/marth MU. Just get better folks
Dude there's literally only 1 person in the world who can consistently do this to zain
Yeah it’s a really dumb argument. “Just be the greatest fox of all time duh”
@@alexaristud6340there is stuff Cody is doing that a lot of foxes aren’t that isn’t that demanding like his recovery mixups

Possibly the worst set these two have ever played, it hurt to see Zain miss easy grabs and punishes on FD
There was a lot of sloppy play throughout the entire top 8, ah well :)
Watching Zain play others makes me want marth deleted from the game.

3-0!?!?! 😮
Watching Zain vs Cody used to be so hype no matter who won. Now it just feels sad
This is their first set this year... last year they went even in tournament sets. It's just an off day for Zain
As a Zain fan this hurts
Fox is good huh
ban z jump
Cody only won because of Z-Jump he would have been triple JV 5'd if he jumped with Y
Lol@@itsyaboi1245
@@itsyaboi1245 nah he didn't only win cause of z jump. he always won because of notches
Am I the only one who does not find fox entertaining? Nothing against Cody as he is amazing but man I get so bored watching Fox
What about him makes you feel bored watching? Tbh I've always thought fox was so sick for all the mixups he can do literally all the time

@@justelisan1766 up throw* what do you find entertaining about the other characters?
Mango is straight washed
what does this set have to do with mango
@@andressalvat Cleaner than a bleached a'sshole.
