Nicki beat Ossify, Rishi, JoJo, Jflex, and he was the only one to take games off Zain this tourny other than Hbox. He will make waves for sure if he gets out more. There is a german tournament "Melee im Kornspeicher" on April 12th that Jmook is going to, Nicki is a killer against sheik so I'm expecting him to take it.
@@NeonDartWhich kinda makes me sad because I feel like Jmook's confidence has been shaken lately so I'd like to see him make waves but yeah if Nicki plays like this I think he's gonna be a problem if he goes to more NA tournaments. And I'll be there for it, him and SluG putting icies on the map again.
okay maybe i am biting on bait here, he has been to the US at least twice before for SWT finals and genesis 7, notably beating fiction with fox at the former
When I saw the time I knew it was gonna go the distance. Also in Zain’s defense that Sopo side B is killer to time with Marth’s fsmash, speaking as a Marth main myself 😂 Nicki needs to enter more tournaments!
I think its because he selected Ice Climbers on the css. In all seriousness though, he switched to ICs over the pandemic for fun I'm pretty sure, eventually his ICs just got better than his fox. He still uses fox for counter picks, mostly against peach I believe. Rishi tried counterpicking Peach against him this tourny after losing with marth, but he beat his peach too by using fox.

Love this idea

Coming to NA for the first time and beating the #2 player is insane.
Where's nicki from? Sorry if they say it in the set, had to watch w/o audio
@@OerstedFGC I'm pretty sure hes German.
@@sharsasuke01Word up. Love to see more international competition

@@sharsasuke01yes he's from germany
Can't believe Zain almost beat the number 2 ranked player
Can't believe he hit him with the Chudat "Yayuhzz" after beating Zain
Holy shit Nicki is so good. I was not expecting to see Zain get a reality check.
When I saw the time I knew it was gonna go the distance. Also in Zain’s defense that Sopo side B is killer to time with Marth’s fsmash, speaking as a Marth main myself 😂 Nicki needs to enter more tournaments!
Fsmash is a lot easier to Hit that utilt.
He missed 3 Times with that utilt, where fsmsh would have hit
revenge has been enacted
Dude this set was nuts
nikki really needed to just not miss some of those regrabs to start the hand offs and he would have beaten zain even harder
That was beautiful.
Crazy upset
Ban woobles?
Why he aint playin fox?
Zain has always been a Marth main, idk what you are talking about
