@@greedo194 yeah but disadvantage is miserable vs them, I guess my language was too harsh it’s only like -1 at most. Bowser can beat them in neutral and has a really good advantage vs them considering they are aegis.
the first grab connected but pyra interrupted it with a move and got throw invulnerability since the grab did connect, that's why the second command grab missed.
I will never understand why Aegis was made so disgustingly overpowered. Smash really said “let’s let people have both Sonic and a buffed up Ike with boobs in one character….fuck it throw in better witch time just for the lolz” and the community just ate it up without complaints.
Mythra is busted. Pyra is too easy to use for the reward. Seriously that down air hit box? JFC. People say Bowser is the no skill character but Aegis has non-committal attacks with 0 end lag and massive hitboxes. It's a joke compared to vanilla characters
@@dnegel9546 Bowser is in the top 20% fastest characters in the game *on top of* being the heaviest. He has arguably the best command grab in the game (top 3 minimum) that does over 20% and can kill most of the roster at 120% from anywhere on stage. He has one of, if not the best up-b out of shield that also does over 20% and can kill at 150%. His neutral-b is insanely good against most characters and safely does 35+% all the time, even at top level play. His ledge trapping is some of the absolute best in the game, and his own recovery is above average, if not really good too boot. His 'tough guy' passive ability entirely nullifies rapid jabs and many other character specific moves, and it makes his smash attacks (especially up-smash and down-smash) wayyyy better than they have any right to be. His forward-air is way too fast for how insanely far ranged it is, and his back-air kills most of the roster at 70% despite being faster than roughly half the back-airs in the game. He doesn't have kill throws on the level of Ness or Lucas, but his back and forward throw both kill drastically earlier than at least 80% of the cast. Literally the *only* thing bowser doesn't have going for him is his disadvantage state. That's literally it. But even then, down-air is incredibly useful in many match-ups, and even when it isn't, a player who slips up _at all_ in the juggle sequence will take a guaranteed 20+% and lose advantage. Bowser is _anything but honest._ A novice player who spends 15 hours to gain competency with Bowser will *destroy* even above average players, even if it's just through abusing up-b out of shield, side-b, and stray aerial hits for the kill. Bowser is the epitome of dishonest.
@@343Filmsthat means his optimal playstyle is to power though moves and punish mistakes, at least its not running away, hiding behind a wall, or retreating to the sky like what most of the meta is right now. That’s what makes him honorable
I remember watching Leon's MU chart for bowser and when he said Bowser beats Cloud I was just kinda like "huh?" Bowser's disadvantage is so terrible, especially against a character like Cloud who has great juggling with up air which completely ruins Bowser. One of Bowser's only landing options is down air which Cloud can just up air, as Sparg0 did in this set. Not to mention Cloud's back air is basically unpunishable for most characters on shield, and Bowser is no exception so Sparg0 can just shield pressure him for free without much fear of getting hit with up b oos. Bowser also does not have a single move that is safe against Clouds frame 7 up b oos. Overall I think the MU is even or slightly Cloud favoured.
Most Cloud mains say worse. Leon was being kind in comparison saying it was even/slight win. Cloud wins neutral, but Bowser destroys him offstage. I would also agree it's even/cloud favour due to the fact that can kill bowser pretty easily offstage himself.
@Connie Ford that’s read dependant, if you are constantly getting ur bairs stuffed by bowser then ur just getting outplayed. It’s on the cloud player to not be predictable with bair timing. Notice how Sparg0 hit him with a million bairs this set. Also about the flame breath I mean cool that’s not something to make or break a matchup. If bowser is far enough away that he can’t be punished that also means that cloud isn’t in that much danger to begin with. The bulk of flame breath damage comes from being up close.
I'll tell you why. It's because that's his opinion, you just happened to have a different one from him. Your matchup view is just different from his. Here's the crazy part though, both of his and your opinions/view are completely fine.
Yeah only reason I see it as even is because bowser has the weight advantage and enough mix ups. A good cloud player should be able to space properly and take advantage of bowser disadvantage. The good thing is he can't kill bowser with a throw but it can lead to advantage for cloud. When it comes to matchup charts I don't think these guys play enough people who are good with the character. In most cases 1 really good thing can win a matchup because it's all about stage control and getting early kills in this game
leon got so complacent when he switched to cloud, that's really what i just watched, he thought he had it in the bag and paid the price, bowser can win both matchups and so can leon hes just gotta not be complacent like that
Bowser does have tough guy in the air. Hero can not use magic burst to edge guard Bowser because Bowser will tough guy through the weak hits and clip Hero.
I can’t watch or play a match that’s on an animal crossing stage without hearing that bubblegum kk Alpharad short in my head. Nothing to do with the set, just an observation that no one needs to know.
I hate when they show a character and most of the character they actually play is different. I was expecting cloud all the way. Just put both characters fuck
LeoN has to be one of the most predictable Bowsers I've ever seen :/. He took zero risks and the irony of that being; he never UpBd out of shield once. The guy was close to beating Spargo with this many problems. Hopefully this message is passed on to him that he may perform better and refine his Bowser. GG

@@cibrinyark339 people already know it, not a very complicated character, Leon is just a good player and bowser is just a good character.
He should have been at summit 3 after jumping out a plane but didn't have the resources for the spirit bomb
honestly taking sparg0 to last stock game 5 in any situation is an achievement, nevermind doing it with bowser
Major fucking facts ! It’s practically a win in my eyes
Bowser is a crazy good character, especially against people who aren't experienced in the matchup.
Especially against aegis who dumpster him

5:25 Sparg0 pushed LeoN’s hurtbox into the side b to shield poke him. That has to be one of the most creative plays I have ever seen.
He didn't
Didn't he do that to get a footstool setup?
That's like a week one aegis thing bro lmao

Actually it's pretty common to see

Goes to show that even GOAT players need to fight off the nerves.

the fact that spargo switched to a significantly worse matchup and won just shows that Cloud is his soul main
This happened to me at a local recently. Couldn't figure out how to beat the Bowser with aegis, so I switched to cloud and reverse 3-0d
SpaceJamSparg0 is kind of a goated name
great commentators. had me invested
“bowsers not in a position where anything will kill him, but most things will start to KO here” what
Sparg0 is actually really good at making opponents side roll by pressuring them. His punish do not by camping.
leon got so complacent when he switched to cloud, that's really what i just watched, he thought he had it in the bag and paid the price, bowser can win both matchups and so can leon hes just gotta not be complacent like that

Leon is an absolute goat!

Why both wear same clothe?
I don't care who's piloting Aegis nothing they do will impress me.
Especially against bowser, that matchup is hard af for the bowser and a snooze fest for the aegis.

For how good leon is he misses a lot of tech chases and reads
Bowser does have tough guy in the air. Hero can not use magic burst to edge guard Bowser because Bowser will tough guy through the weak hits and clip Hero.

Once someone figures out how to nullify bair they will be able to beat Spargo

We Chessplayers vary our habits. I am the best in my group yet not as good as Spargo at Ultimate. You also need to specialize in the game.
