15:57 bruh, watching it in slow motion, BOTH ftilts knocked steve out of the startup frames up his upsmash. Hurt was a few frames off losing twice in the span of 1 second
@maxjones2704 5 minutes ago あcola’s Steve is terrifying, but I think he’s got a few demons at this point. He’s barely beaten Sparg0 once and I don’t think he’s ever beaten Sonix
Yoshidora has done pretty well against avola recently einning there last 2 sets they've played. Not to mention Asimo, Akikakisu, Snow, and Doramigi have all taken sets on him recently. But overall having a combined 3-14 set record since 2023 agains Hurt, Sonix, and Spargo shows he has his demons.
The fact that Snake's grenade Obliterates Steve wall and Samus's rockets barely make a dent is a little annoying. Crepe versus Sisqui is a Showstopper set. Sisqui inspires me so much and this set really shows why Steve is a little unfair in certain situations that should be more skill-rewarded rather than input rewarded (like there's a difference between Steve combos, it does take skill, however that minecart and what you can get away with by literally only pushing the button hurts to watch)
It's a good day when I never see Steve and I'm sorry to say that because I know people love to hate. I am telling the truth though, I've seen a lot less Steve and I have not minded at all. (Honestly I dislike Snake more than Steve, however I really only know Hurt this high up. I know a lot of Steves)
I think where Sakurai (or more likely Nintendo) really messed up with Smash Ultinate is that they stopped working on it shortly after Sora was released. There should have been an update or 2 months after to rebalance the game. It makes no sense that someone like Steve can inflict so much damage so quickly, have great recovery, have extra levels like using diamond and gold, have great edge guarding, and yet still be relatively heavy so that he doesn't die early. It makes no sense. The same can be said for Snake to be honest but Steve is worse. But then you have characters like Sephiroth that have so much potential but are stupidly handicapped with his really light weight, very poor out of shield options, very few combos and terrible frame data and end lag. There are several other characters that also need to be nerfed like Sonic
@@nathanlevesque7812 Do you know what is really senseless? Responding to a detailed post that makes a clear argument by just saying that it is not correct without giving any reason why. Total waste of time.
Listen we all agree Steve is not doubt the best character in the game, but surely you also realize no one is as good without their main? Tweek struggled with consistent tournament wins until he found Diddy, Spargo couldn't beat Leo until he picked up cloud, and Leo cuz he's the goat found that success primarily through Joker and Byleth. Even if you wanna talk Acola specifically, he beat Sparg0 with his Aegis, which is no easy feat because of how experienced most people are with that match up. I mean, even considering Sparg0 could never beat the Leo Byleth with his Aegis.
@@007alztruli “Just” as in solely. The first comment was complaining about players being carried by Steve, and not any other character. It’s not as if they’re complaining about Spargo, Shuton, or Leo being carried by Aegis.
I think people really messed up their comprehension of broken. Steve has definitely the most broken moves and interactions with the game but apart from his strong moves his gameplay is extremely linear since he can't stray away from his broken moves. And if smash has taught me anything about fighting games :" being predictable is the greatest weakness" So overall, I'd say he is the most broken but can never be the best character unless steve players discover new ways to exploit his potential to create actual mix ups.
@@yo_ortegaeverything you said is true and does not apply to sonic which is why I think he’s more problematic than Steve, the counterplay and weaknesses are as clear as day
15:57 As King Of Skill once said: *Do it again*
How does someone even react to that?
4:33 not hurt drinking an empty ass water 😭
Nervous tic 😂

Hurt is so op
He's an animal. I've never seen anyone play Snake like that.
Hurt is 💯 Acola’s demon

Snake has more than one terrible, but seriously TERRIBLE matchups.
Saying something makes no sense then just listing stuff characters can have isn't really a sensible argument.

@ My only sentence is a reason. Sorry that flew entirely over your head. Try getting that reading comp above grade 5.
Man hurt's recovery on the third match was godlike!
hate to see snake win, but not as much as i love to see steve lose
The Smash Bros community really just hates half the cast of their own game lmao
@@xxProjectJxx True
@@xxProjectJxx fr it's so counterproductive
We’ll see when smash 6 comes out how many of these Steve top players will stay ranked without their broken ass character
If acola isn't among them it will be because he chose to move on from playing at all. I don't think that's controversial, is it?
Acola has beaten other top 15 players like Miya, Spargo, and Doramigi using just Pythra.

steve being backed into a corner and all their dumb mechanics not working is beautiful to see
People still think steve broken 😂
counterplay catching up
That one commentator going OooOOoOoEEAEAEAAoOoOO every 5 seconds in the last game needs to STOP MAKING THAT SOUND EVER AGAIN
Lumirank inmediatly Acola #1 random japanese player without competition in NA #10, spargo #9
spargo weak
@@veng-x6swinning 2 P tiers and an A means you’re weak riiiiiiight
that's not an actual sentence
Last game was some jojo-ass shit.
11:55 A little too reliant on anvil, dude.
Kinda looks like a landing mixup because he still had iron but yeah Steve way to reliant
Steve loss lets goooooooo! The less of these people winning the better.
Was about to comment the same 😂
Jeez
Don’t hate Acola but yeah watching Steve getting dunked on is therapeutic
bro
Love that the best character was the meme character
Everyone hates Steve. Lol. Hurt is badass
no, the majority just ignore spaces where scrublords whinge constantly
@nathanlevesque7812 I have no idea what tf you just said lol
Hurt mi nuevo idolo
No way people are still playing thisss
Spoiler shield 🛡️
Mhm
Logic check: If Steve is so broken, why are there not more top player Steve's? 🤔
What kinda reasoning is this? LMAO
This my argument for game and watch though lol, there so many Steve’s that gotten top 8 besides Acola and onin, crepe, syrup, raki etc

Also Steve is the most represented character in top 50 world rank tied with Aegis.

Thank goodness Hurt won, acola is not my type of player to watch.
Glad Acola Steve didn't make it into grands
Steve is so hated that playing snake to outcamp him is respectable.
