Legendary entrance by Fatality.
Imagine if he’d had a sign saying “I got boost power” though 😆
If he could have, he should have played Big Blue or Mute City during the entrance
Edit: Oh I didn't hear the theme lol
greatest entrance of all time
Yess
Bro he fuckin killed that dude 💀
Fatality put up some of the most respectable gameplay I've seen in forever.
Honestly his off stage decision making, especially in disadvantage is probably the most impressive I've ever seen considering his character. The amount of mixup he has to do vs Snake Nikita, and Pikachu existing is probably so taxing. I main falcon and disadvantage state is my biggest flaw, and he makes it look like child's play
This is a hard matchup for falcon so props to fatality for swerving around that rat.
Funny enough, fatality says this mu isn't too bad. He thinks its only a slightly losing mu for falcon
Both fatality and esam agreed its not that hard but still favors pika
@@showmeyourmoves8551 Matchup favors pika + pika is just a substantially better character.
@@DemonEyeHelix 1+ favor is almost even tbh
It’s not about character at all it’s all about the way you use that character
Fun Fact, Kola’s favorite smash player and biggest inspiration was Fatality
And they’re about to play
Fr???
Really? So happy to hear that.
Makes sense, he was a Falcon main in Smash 4
@@ashketchup7354 he mained cloud??
Lets. Fucking. Go. He legit redefined the falcon meta and pushed this character further than ANY other falcon. Good win Fatality, over a great opponent.
@@dreggsmcgee7310 yes but he couldn’t always hang with the best of the best in previous years of smash ult a combo of some small falcon buffs and more importantly fatality’s hard work and dedication to the character has pulled him and the character so far
Fatality unquestionably the best falcon player in the world.
Falcon earned his stripes from Melee, Ultimate and Sm4sh falcon is just not the same at all. n0ne and Wizzrobe are the true king of Falcon.
the potato dog ok thanks for sharing lol
@@OMGlvl86turtlepilot it was pretty clear the OP was talking about ultimate, bringing up melee is unnecessary and arguably n0ne and wizzwrobe aren't the best falcon's because they haven't been the best falcon in the world over 2 different games, only melee.
@@OMGlvl86turtlepilot for one falcons legacy started in 64. 2. Fatality is the best falcon in s4, project m, and ultimate so does one game or three games matter more.
@@OMGlvl86turtlepilot or you know you can shut up. This video is obviously about different game than melee
Fatality’s finally looking like his old self!!!
So are you!
He's looking better.
Uh, you mean his new self? His old self wasn't capable of beating ESAM, he crossed that matchup as one of Falcon's worst.
@@darksidegaming3238 I think he's referring to Smash 4.
@@darksidegaming3238 I’m referring to old OLD fatality. Haha
Fatality’s disadvantage is one of the best in ultimate
He's making me question why it's labels with a term "disadvantage"
His reversals/matrix spacing make for such a good defensive play
he always manages to recover its insane
I'm so so happy Fatality had the chance to prove his worth in this game. Everybody doubted it, but he showed them all! Love you man
I just hope he can do it again when MkLeo and the rest of the top 10 and some international players are in attendance
@@Michael-cg5qn Let's hope so! I know it will be difficult, and as much of a Fatality fan I am I think it's unlikely for him to beat Maister and Leo, but it's possible
@@SirStarKnight I think he might have a chance to beat Maister now that he has Aegis as his secondary.
@@craftymasterproductions4218 nah maister has practice with cloudy and sparg0 I can’t see him losing to fatality anytime soon
@@okayperson3041 he almost beat Spargo so I can still see a possible future there
I feel like this is the first time Fatality has actually beat Esam in a tournament. If not, it really has been entirely too long. Way to go, Fatality!!
They basically never play
I thought the same way but I maybe thought of maister
@@lukeblaker8009 Yeah they played once two years ago that was it
@@Gunnersman1510 Yeah Maister is usually Fatality's braket demon, but he recently picked up the beyblades as a secondary to deal with the matchup bc he says it's basically unwinnable as falcon
@@kreeevin wait whose the beyblades?
Seeing pikachu catch a dair knee fills me with joy
To be fair, the pika played really clean the entire set. Missed tech to jablock, shove offstage to ledge trump dair. Took one missed tech at a low percent and turned it into a stock gone. Dair to fair is satisfying (idk I don't play or like falcon much), but done on esam is nice as well, depending on what one sees joy as
@@survivorofthecurse717 I dont hate anyone but I strongly dislike overly arrogant egotistical people. I also dislike characters like pikachu, olimar etc.. For various reasons but you know thats the game. I been playing since smash 64 so pikachus always been there grinding everyones gears. I personally love falcon and playin him sometimes online just because I think every move he has is awesome and low frame data so you can have alot of fun with him.
I'd have to slightly disagree about being egotistical. True, he can be the villain, but rarely is he all evil. Where there is light, there is darkness as well. Although I will say that hating smash 64 pika can be far more understandable. But you also have to know something: how good or bad a character is influences a little, but what matters more is who plays them. People tell others like me who struggle with Marth to just play lucina. Some other people who try their best with Ganon are just asked to play falcon. It won't matter too much if they still lose with those characters. If anything, that gives them less of a chance for people to give them good advice and sympathy
@@survivorofthecurse717 I mean I think your kinda reading into what I'm sayin a lil too much.
@@survivorofthecurse717 but good points. I'm just stating my opinion. Just like you have a right to your own
14:08 , he autocancels with nair (I think it's nair) and uses it to preemptively whiff punish the upcoming down tilt. The legend.
There was so much microspacing and instant turnaraounds throughout, shit was crazy.
Yeah that was godlike. Many of Falcons aerials have a pretty good early AC window. Knee might have the biggest
@@GawainSSB And I'm pretty sure he used short empty backward jumps (not only to use bair but also) to avoid thunderjolt because falcon tucks into a ball when we does that. Don't know the actual hurtbox for it, but damn it was clean.
Brother
The announcers were on fire during this match. Really great job
Despite how many Top players dropped from this tournament, the whole thing has been crazy good in my opinion
I think most top 10 players dropping has made it more entertaining to watch, with Leo, as much as I love him, he's got a really high chance of winning and this tournament really put it up in the air who could win it
@@lugger3153 There's pros and cons to it. Pros being we get to see lower ranked players do well in a tournament due to the lack of the TOP top players in attendance. Main con being that the wins overall mean less since they didn't have to go through the top players to earn it. CEO can be classified as a Major tournament due to number of entrance, but the impact towards PGR placements is much lower since there's fewer "notable wins" in this tournament.
Kola won CEO, but he was the highest rated player at the tourney (going off current projected PGR placements) and he didn't have to beat any top 10 players to win this tourney.
@@DemonEyeHelix I suppose if you see it that way yeah, but it just feels nice to have a major that represents the talent right behind the top of smash play imo
Why did so many top players drop from this tourney anyways
@@facepalmz516s5 focus on health for some, others to focus on SWT qualifiers
Fatality playing irl Mario kart gives me life
It was F-Zero im pretty sure
Bro, I cant believe this. No matter what the PGR says, you are the best Captain Falcon
I really appreciate ESAM for taking on the villan role. Makes every set with him so exciting to watch. Also glad to see my boy Fatality at top 8!
I'm grateful that he finally went boxing ring
He didn't take up the villain role. It was given to him by the community for being toxic in the past and present.
Didn’t realize he was considered a villain.
@@buddacreem6877 u don't know who Dr Eggman is?
@@ricardofranca6752 Nope. This is my first time watching a Smash tournament.
Pikachu main here, Fatality played this mu extremely extremely well. He has an excellent understanding of pika’s combo game and DI’d like a god. He was able to punish esam’s normally super safe aerials very well and much much more. Fatality just outplayed esam.
Fatality a homie for making sure Esam doesn’t have to go Boxing Ring
Fatality deserves this so much with all the practice he puts in, it’s really paying off
Holy fuck this felt like a high schooler outrunning usain bolt, fatality is SO CRACKED
Comparing Esam to Usain Bolt doesn't really work ya know...Usain bolt being the fastest man alive and Esam not even close to best smash ultimate player. Also Fatality would be much closer than a high schooler in this scenario.
@@DemonEyeHelix i think he's talking about the matchup
@@trevorrawlins6025 If you mean Esam vs Fatality, that is exactly what I replied to. If you mean Pikachu vs Falcon, that wasn't hinted at all in OP's comment.
@@DemonEyeHelix exactly what OP said, Fatality is cracked bc he makes this shit MU work
@@theseb5981 I don't see why you're replying that to me.
Esam's mistake this set was at 4:48
Esam embodies taunt to get bodied
Nah he earned that taunt. That ledge trump was clean as hell
literally fatalities most consistent combo, dk what he was thinking
I am unbelievably happy for Fatality honestly. ESAM played a fantastic game, and Fatality had a massive battle to fight with both the matchup and the pressure, and he absolutely nailed it. Mad props.
...can we talk about ESAMs DI real quick? Dude was living Falcon Dash attack at 170, lowkey insane (fixed SDI, I'm dumb)
? Sdi is for multihits, falcon DA is a single hit.
DJ Creed is correct, but you got the overall point OP.
It's also staling as he used dash attack a lot during this set! Staling seems to be very strong in this game.
@@drcreed6320 You can SDI single hits to set yourself even further from blastzone, that might have been what he meant.
@@pastamanhd6251 it's just DI
Watching this set after watching their set at Dreamhack 2 years ago really shows just how much the game has changed over that time wow
"I have a dream of Fatality winning"
Update:HOLY S#$% HE DID IT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
CONGRATS TO FATALITY! Extremely hard matchup yet you still were stellar. Proud of you man! 💪🏽
He may have lost the bracket, but god does it please me to see a Falcon take top 4.
This set was absolutely legendary. The humble pop off, everything CONGRATS FATALITY
Absolutely amazing set, really aggressive, tensed and entertaining to watch! Props to both player but especially Fatality ofc!
Man, if only Smash was on the ring instead of GGS this year...so many memes it would create.
What does ggs mean again
@@okayperson3041 Guilty Gear Strive
Fatality!!! First player to get me yelling at the screen in excitement ever! Congrats on your win. You're so much fun to spectate.
Set starts at 4:18
Thanks!
What an amazing set!
HE ACTUALLY DID IT!!
That last game was INSANE!! So many false sparks! And a legendary pop off at the end! Way to go Fatality!! 🔥 💯
I love seeing the celebrations for Fatality, including Kola who is hyped for his GA competition. This tournament was incredible despite some big names missing from bracket.
It's not that Fatality beat Pikachu with Falcon, it's that he did it against the best Pika in the world, who is also a top 20 player.
If boxing ring was legal I'm sure ESAM could've got the W easy
NGBRF
Welp he lost in smash brutality. Getting what he deserves 😝
Don’t be cringe. Leave this shit go you’re like a nagging ex girlfriend always bringing up the past. Don’t be toxic and leave the commenting to people who actually are worth an opinion
@@tbrstarrygamer6682 wait are you mad
@@tbrstarrygamer6682 defends ESAM and talks about being worth a comment
The man did it!
ONE OF THE BEST SETS IVE SEEN! Congratulations Fatality!
Dude I’m so proud of fatality. He’s put in so much work for the Pika MU
Godlike entrance and a godlike dub. Mans got so much passion and work ethic
I was gonna go snowboarding today but skipped to watch this live. Sooooooo worth it LOL
What an amazing set! Glad to see Fatality have his first win over ESAM in forever
If only there was commentary to go by this set
I've never popped off so hard watching a TH-cam vid of someone winning. Beat the matchup, awesome play from Fatality!
The four of them are all fast: the two characters and two players. I am enjoying having seen a chain reaction of players mutually getting faster than the opponent. Great job people!
The entrance powered him up
It's amazing how safe they made that falcon dive move in this game
you can get some meaty punishes though so there's that
Congrats man, despite the odds you never loosed your faith in falcon and managed to win this set. Props to Esam too great gameplay as always
I've been waiting for this to happen... LET'S GO FATALITY!!
The absolute chad Fatality! Proving his skill & Captain Falcons worth!
He truly is the people’s champion
Amazing job fatality! Knew you were a real competitor, looking forward to your future sets!
These two are monsters. What a set.
LETS GO FATALITY!!!!!!!! COME ON MAN!!!! What a set! Dang. I’m shook. Amazing gameplay. Wow. One of the best sets I’ve watched in a while.
LETSSS GOOOOOO FATALITY! I’ve been following fatality for a long time. He played much smarter, toned his aggression down slightly, very calculated. So nice to see him win such a tough matchup at a major tournament! Keep goin Fatality
I have followed fatality for more than a year and he has been working for that, to win and now they must put him at the top tier. Is a champ....
Mostly a Melee fan, but these 2 are by far my favorite Smash Ultimate players. So fun to watch.
So satisfying to see the rat go down
I'm so proud of Griffin dude. Like damn he is so awesome of a player and a person.
that was the most intense set i've ever watched in my life.
Esam literally in the boxing ring
ESAM gotta be one of the least consistent players ever
And Pikachu is one of the least consistent top tiers ever.
A match made in heaven. :P
@@mathunit1 lmfao no he isn't u guys just always say that when esam wins
@@syunafrost351 -> when esam *loses*
FTFY
Yes!! He did it! His gameplay was so accurate omg, fits perfectly in this matchup
OMG! Let’s go. I knew you can win bro!
Fatality's entrance busted
This is so hype actually the best play I’ve seen from fatality I’m so lit let’s go fatality !!!
so glad I got to see this set in-person, CFL crowds are WILD lol
Honestly one of the best matches I've seen.
The start of the video highlights the true value of community lmao
he uses his speed so well it makes it overwhelming for the oponents to even play and makes them play at his own tempo
So happy for this man... the hero we didn't deserve but the one we needed... G.A got game!..
Fatality is gaining massive ground 2020 & 2021 his training has paid off big time.
Fatality played so well! Awesome games and great commentators
Really good commentary from haz and Vicki btw
Fatality played super well. But fr esam how are you losing these matchups lmao
Because he’s a terrible human being
@@Ithaca-vv5dy And Pika's kinda overrated imo. Still top 5 though, at worst top 10.
@@mathunit1 the match up against falcon is terrible for falcon. Like I honestly don't don't how the fuck fatality won, with Pikachus get out of jail free card up b.
Because ESAM plays unconsistently, like in this set he had like 3 spikes where Fatality was recovering dodging in the same direction, but Esam missed him all the times expecting a mix up that never came.
Fatality played very well, but also Esam made a lot of mistakes.
@@mathunit1 Nah, he is top 3 at worst xD You can see in this set where Falcon's out of shield Up B doesn't hit because of Pikachu's hitbox like 3 times.
These two are insane. So good
Holy crap you can really see how hard Fatality has worked for this not only by training for this MU but also you can tell he has studied esams habits(even though he was ready for them and read them sometimes Pika was still able to just mash attacks for free but that’s besides the point)
Fatality did amazing in this tournament. That's fantastic
Hell yeah! This was so epic to see
Proud of my boy he put in a lot of work for this
legitimately the hypest match of the year
The first stock taken was insane and optimal asf. Jab reset into ledge trump meteor dair, CLEAN.
That was insane!!! Legendary falcon 🦅
Hell yeah Griffin! Amazing play
Fatality entering with Big Blue full blast, it warms my soul!
Fuckin hell I was popping off with Fatality, masterpiece of a set!
Guess you could say that Gentlemen was SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!
Fatality's recoveries are actually insane
Is this Cap'n Falcon version the best there is after Melee's?
11:30 This is the moment that fatality has learned too much from cloud mains.
This aint a fluke. Fatality has been grinding hard. Good work my dude.
The celebration at the end was so hype
That first stock was NASTY you know it's gonna be a sick set after it opens like that
Fatality finally did it lets go
Commentary is on point 😎
is that back air at 18:46 an accidental Gimr slingshot?
Everyone talking about the entrance but can we give credit to fatality for SDI’ing these back airs in always?
SDI is the future vs Pickachu, especially if you have a Slight losing matchup like Cloud or Falcon
I like how not too long ago, Esam made a video and mentioned that Nick C is the best Falcon. It's like he purposely descredited Fatality or something, as Fatality has been the best for a while now. Maybe this is what it takes for Esam to finally recognise Fatality for what he truly is.
elite smash pikachu and falcon mashing to their hearts content
u love to see it
