Trela retired, saying that he was the pioneer of Ryu, and that he's found a more consistent player to take the reins instead of him. Locus is clearly proving Trela right, top 8 at Civil War and taking ZeRo to game 5 after being 3-0'd by him before. He's improving incredibly quickly. Also, friendly Trela is unbeatable apparently. He went to the Sky House (Top players like Void, ZeRo live there) and he apparently destroyed everybody in friendlies, and even made ZeRo consider picking up Ryu for a while. He's literally top 5 in friendlies.
I understand that people hate ZeRo because he wins alot but when is this man gonna get his due, this man be having some of the best sets in smash 4 history ex: zero vs ranai, zero vs ally, zero vs tsu, zero vs ned, and zero vs locus. The point is where would smash 4 be without him when some of the best sets involve him.
Game 5 ZeRo vs Game 5 Locus round 1 fight! Locus in game 5 is probably one of the scariest players in Smash 4. His ability to adapt in a Bo5 is straight up inhuman. His conversions get better and his reads get really scary. Anyone that survives Game 5 Locus, let alone ZeRo, is an amazing player.
If this doesn't solidify Locus as the best Ryu bar none at this point, I dunno what to tell you. He's the only Ryu in recent years to actually come this close to beating ZeRo in without a doubt Ryu's worst matchup. That recovery at 4:08 from ZeRo was absolutely insane, too! Smash 4 has evolved to a whole new level. When ZeRo is no worse than he was back in his period of total Smash 4 dominance (he's unquestionably even better on his own now) but so many players can stand toe-to-toe with him, even when he's playing incredibly well, it's a real testament to how amazing this game is becoming competitively.
Dreadfury locus is by far the best ryu now namely cuz of two reasons A) Trela quit smash because he found his "successor" (locus) and B) all the other ryus dont even contest locus, closest to him now is either djjack (who doesnt show much anymore) and darkshad who, while is good, isn't as mentally powerful compared to locus
So Trela, the Ryu pioneer, after a long period of being a hidden boss and taking out names from the shadows, finally retires leaving Locus as his successor, ready to dominate the scene as the new Ryu threat. I swear to god the sm4sh scene looks like an anime.
Zero the GOAT. this set was so lit and he took it all the way back to win finally beating ally with persistent blade and taking out ned 3-0 who initially put him into losers. zero takes this very seriously im glad to see this
this set was amazing, when this happened my twitter feed was full of "Locus can pull off all of this advanced Ryu tech, but he can't pick up a simple banana"
Why do I feel like I'm the only player in the world who LOVES watching zero play? (As both a massive locus fan and an agressive read-based player overall)
He didn't exactly escape the spike, but because the Omega Version of Suzake Castle has an outer wall, ZeRo was able to wall cling with Diddy, regaining a jumping and then being able to recover. On a normal stage, he should have died there.
I couldn't stop laughing the entire set imagining Hyuga appearing from the distance in the commentary cam and firing a toon link hookshot onto vikki to grab her waaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
123Supergen well if it was true then ZERO would've claimed it and told everyone it was his, but he hasn't so he probably didn't come up with it. ( I'm a ZERO fan btw if you think I'm hating on him).
ZeRo went downhill because he got a hand injury that made him unable to play for a while, for those of you that don't already know. He lost his first tournament after that injury. Ignore the people below who don't get that being out of a competitive game for months will put you behind, and let other people catch up. I think they want to fantasize about ZeRo being bad or something I honestly don't know.
Didn't he lose his first tournament after that injury? And not playing for a few months can really mess you up when you need to maintain the best in the world title, lol.
Bronze Orwin dude, at this point the injury is kinda irrelevant, ZeRo's been in the scene for an extremely long time since that injury to catch up with the competitive scene and adapt to where it is rn. We can't forget about Frostbite can we?
OH MY GOD. diddy is top 3. stop taking zeros opinions word for word. Zero fans and Esam fans need to start thinking with their own brain instead of taking their OPEENIONS AS SOLID FACTS.
zEKu I'm sorry to come into this conversation, but the only real players you mentioned that consistently top 8 are ZeRo and potentially zinoto. MVD is close, dyr and JJ aren't seen too much imo
its not about "get good" its about accept the fact that diddy has better chance to win a MU againts almost every character, come on, bayonetta is a very good character but diddy is broken.
![Midwest Mayhem 8 GRAND FINALS - EG | Zinoto [W] (Diddy, Corrin) vs TSM | ZeRo [L] (Lucina, Diddy)](/img/n.gif)
The BEST & MOST HYPE SET of the whole tournament.
Ned sent zero to losers. That was hype as f
Erik Mercado Yeah but this set had more sick moments
2017 already has more hype sets than 2015 and 2016 combined.
Ikr! Smash 4 has gotten really hype since like the closing of 2016 and now 2017 is looking to be the best year Smash 4 has ever had.
More newcomers Japanese players weve never heard of and a lot of upsets
Dale L no joke dude like 2016 was nice but these sets have been fucking insane this year, it's amazing.
Locus is easily the best Ryu in tournament, but we all know about friendly Trela though
Didn't Trela retire? And pretty much Locus is the #1 Ryu after Civil War.
Mr. Fry Locus is #1 Ryu now, but if u ever have a friendly with Trela, he'll most likely 4 stock u in a 2 stock match
Herz Pik at this point locus is by far #1 with how many more upsets he's gotten and his placings being comparable/better to prime trela as it is
Cyrekt cool what's the difference? Tell me more about it
Trela retired, saying that he was the pioneer of Ryu, and that he's found a more consistent player to take the reins instead of him.

The point is where would smash 4 be without him when some of the best sets involve him.
Hey I'm from the future Smash 4 is dead and Zero leaving is one of the biggest reasons
Game 5 ZeRo vs Game 5 Locus round 1 fight! Locus in game 5 is probably one of the scariest players in Smash 4. His ability to adapt in a Bo5 is straight up inhuman. His conversions get better and his reads get really scary. Anyone that survives Game 5 Locus, let alone ZeRo, is an amazing player.
If only he learned how to pick up bananas he might have won :(
or if he let those focus punches go after the first back air of zeros edge guard attempts he coulda landed those and kept egde guarding pressure off
you guys are both wrong. locus doesnt know how to DI. if he did he would've won for sure
a positive attitude seems to go a long way as well. he's happier than most pro players during a match
@Arnold uhhhh no one said that there's one exact reason why Locus lost, it's a combination of a lot of things.
"ZeRo is the only player I actually get nervous against" -Locus 2017

Great set, ZeRo was actually pretty flashy lol. Glad to see Locus putting in work.
So Trela, the Ryu pioneer, after a long period of being a hidden boss and taking out names from the shadows, finally retires leaving Locus as his successor, ready to dominate the scene as the new Ryu threat.
I swear to god the sm4sh scene looks like an anime.
Looks like ZeRo is optimizing his play to a whole new level
I just love the word shenanigans I don't know why though.
One of the best sets of Snash 4 history.
What we all need is Locus vs Fatality, grand finals in a major event.
Probably the greatest match I've very watched. It had every competitive aspect thrown in. So much to watch, and so exciting.
I love how the crow clapped for the wall cling
I remember when Locus was bodied by Zero about 3 months ago (at Zero Saga iirc), how this man leveled up so much in such a short time!
2017 has been such a hype year for Smash 4. Damn!
Superb set. Superb audience. Quality entertainment.
Zero the GOAT. this set was so lit and he took it all the way back to win finally beating ally with persistent blade and taking out ned 3-0 who initially put him into losers. zero takes this very seriously im glad to see this
This video would be gaining more views if ZeRo lost.
Bryan Long exactly he's just hating that he'll never be good
Jerry The Perv Behind Tom Cat I don't think he's hating, he's really just stating a fact lol.
Bob Smith exactly besides whenever ZeRo Gets upset the views on a video skyrockets
It's a shame, because this is such a good set regardless.
Viewers want to see blood
this set was amazing, when this happened my twitter feed was full of "Locus can pull off all of this advanced Ryu tech, but he can't pick up a simple banana"
4:10 Good Lord what a GOD
Locus is the Ryu savior
Why do I feel like I'm the only player in the world who LOVES watching zero play?
(As both a massive locus fan and an agressive read-based player overall)
Cyrekt i love watching zero probably second favorite
What's with Panda Global and getting all the good Ryus?
Locus lost to Ally and ZeRo. it's not a shame
Godlike set
this set was so insane geezu
4:08 I'm kinda new at Sm4sh tournaments. Can someone explain how ZeRo escaped the spike? Why is it so impressive?
He didn't exactly escape the spike, but because the Omega Version of Suzake Castle has an outer wall, ZeRo was able to wall cling with Diddy, regaining a jumping and then being able to recover. On a normal stage, he should have died there.
Ooooooh... now I understand how incredible it is. 😲
Wow... i understand when people say ZeRo can be boring to watch, but he pulled out some cool stuff here
Locus looks so happy
Damn what a hype set. Every game was so close.
I couldn't stop laughing the entire set imagining Hyuga appearing from the distance in the commentary cam and firing a toon link hookshot onto vikki to grab her waaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
this may be marss vs pink fresh good
that set was insane oh my. THE ALMOST REVERSE 3-0
Even though I am a big Locus fan, some of the most intense sets contain ZeRo. Ex: Frostbite 2017 gf, this match, mm8 winners quarters Ned vs ZeRo.
idk lmao dont ask
Ranai vs. ZeRo at G3 too
Yeah
This set was absolutely insane
4:05 PogChamp
This match was amazing! Good shit ZeRo 👌
Both commentators really need help with hype-building. :/
Rayan Al-shikhi The girl is the one hyuga molested
***** Cuz
They were pretty good...
That was a phenomenal set tbh
Gotta hate that banana, I swear it's so broken but ZeRo did pretty amazing.
axel7801 God hate that uptilt, I swear it's so broken but Locus did pretty amazing.
pikachu is annoying also and zss
ya'll are blind to see it. but if you look closely you'll see that diddys fair is the most broken move in the game. banana is the 2nd most broken tool
axel7801 what about uptilt to shoryu? It's a true combo, does like 15% damage and can kill early af. Point is, this game has a lot of janky moves
axel7801 Get gud banana is not broken boiii
6:28 What a way to execute the comeback.
Now that was entertaining!!!!
12:58
Ryu does a lot of damage in three shits!
so fun to watch. but because of Locus
"Tr4sh is boring"
Just Meleetists says that, don't summon them please.
Farfadouillet
"melee is balanced"
Fop Neus
what the fuck are you doing watching Sm4sh videos of the game is so "boring"...
PG trades trela for locus
Wow ZeRo is amazing when he really want to be. This guy must have a good IQ score...
Locus is improving so fast
Locus is like the successor of Trela
DAMN this is a good set
BEST SET EVER
that combo is actually called the ZeRo combo, he made it himself.
123Supergen Geo Combo.
123Supergen send proof of ZeRo doing it first because i saw it as Geo and then Zinoto in a tutorial
fucking zero fans. retards the whole bunch of em
Leffeny i cant really send it because ZeRo show that combo in a stream, he didn't even know about ge0.
123Supergen well if it was true then ZERO would've claimed it and told everyone it was his, but he hasn't so he probably didn't come up with it. ( I'm a ZERO fan btw if you think I'm hating on him).
this set was lit
At 10:18 Zero would have lived if he did the instant jump barrels
Locus being mad/salty for that side b in game 2 ➡➡ ☺☺☺
Bryan Long I dont think locus even has the ability to become salty. He probably smiled
Bryan Long Or just laughed at how smart Zero was
Lmao you clearly don't know his rep 😂👌🏾
I didn't mean he's salty or anything, just the fact that he's always smiling, regardless of the result. lol
best zero fight
4DR Locus
ZeRo went downhill because he got a hand injury that made him unable to play for a while, for those of you that don't already know. He lost his first tournament after that injury.
Ignore the people below who don't get that being out of a competitive game for months will put you behind, and let other people catch up. I think they want to fantasize about ZeRo being bad or something I honestly don't know.
Bronze Orwin That was litteraly a year ago
that guy probably forgot to mention hes using internet explorer
Didn't he lose his first tournament after that injury? And not playing for a few months can really mess you up when you need to maintain the best in the world title, lol.
Bronze Orwin dude, at this point the injury is kinda irrelevant, ZeRo's been in the scene for an extremely long time since that injury to catch up with the competitive scene and adapt to where it is rn.
We can't forget about Frostbite can we?
Anthony Park LOOOOOOOOOOOL
SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE LOCUS :'(
That was super fun and dynamic. Can't understand people who aay Melee is better with that same old autistic meta.
1:46 ayy ge0 boyz
No game audio and annoying commentary = Fail
LETS GO ZERO
Lmfao who's that 10 year old minecraft commentator
Thicc.
4:17 this commentator is annoying
DAIGOOOOOOOOO
2:14 LMAO
Diddy beats Ryu again it is so sad that Diddy is still super broken in 2017
What, diddy isn't broken.
Justin Nguyen Diddy is maybe around number 7 in the game, you just need to get good, also zero is almost the only one getting results with him.
People saying diddy is broken even though zero is the only diddy who's a top 20 player
RIP Zinoto
To be fair he hasn't been getting Top 8 at majors lately
OH MY GOD. diddy is top 3. stop taking zeros opinions word for word. Zero fans and Esam fans need to start thinking with their own brain instead of taking their OPEENIONS AS SOLID FACTS.
Great set, obnoxious commentators
Dubu Dubu Great set, good commentators, ignorant commenter
easy money using diddy
Diego Alarcón DTK! So broken that only 2 top players use him. Just get good
andres
"Only 2 top players"
dyr
MVD
ZeRo
Zinoto
JJROCKETS
zEKu I'm sorry to come into this conversation, but the only real players you mentioned that consistently top 8 are ZeRo and potentially zinoto. MVD is close, dyr and JJ aren't seen too much imo
its not about "get good" its about accept the fact that diddy has better chance to win a MU againts almost every character, come on, bayonetta is a very good character but diddy is broken.
ggs zero For beating this ryu really disgusting ^^
I thought Vikikikty was fired. Please re-fire that bi***
Erik Mercado Why?
Erik Mercado Why? Is it because she's a woman?
Keyword - Hyuga
she actually did a good job on this set imo
IRON MAN LOSSES!
SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALET!
LethalJtex losses?
what ever lol
First
