Congrats to Marss on continuing to be biologically different and taking names like he never left. Hope the recovery from the ACL surgery is swift and that u get plenty rest, cause we know carrying smash hype takes its toll
Watching any good Steve lose is always a dopamine rush, watching Marss schmoove on anyone is like poetry. Watching Marss beat a good Steve's ass is like actual heroin
Marss was to me personally the highlight of this SSC. Good shit bro you played amazing and you bring a spark very few top players bring when playing this game.
Hi, Marss, great video! I love to see a Steve get absolutely owned(in) ha! that’s a little pun of mine, hope you enjoyed it. Hope we can see a video analyzing your Dabuz game! As I would love to see you dissect some classic Dabuz gameplay. Thanks, Marss.
I feel like we gotta stress more that this isn't a good matchup for zss. It's just one of Steve's worst At no point does Zss get to do Zss things, she never gets to be comfortable or confident. It's just that Steve has to actually play a matchup instead of play Steve, and they aren't used to that
Loved this video because in this breakdown you truly understand the skill difference it takes to beat steve, how you truly HAVE to play around him to win, meanwhile hes just rewarded for stupidity and NPC like behaviour. Better player alert, keep destroying scrubs marss
@@endmysuffering2699 because hating a kid for how he plays the videogame is extremely immature and throwing hate at them with comments like this is extremely damaging for them
@@EduardoFlores-bt4fono one is immune from critisism. Hes almost an adult too. If people cant handle critsism they shouldnt be getting into anything competitive, their clearly not mature enough for the sport.
I'm glad I'm not a top player. I would opt to go Dabuz mode and play to time on every Steve set. Some characters like ZSS could do it consistently too.
Man I was rooting for you while cooking at my gf house. I scream super hyped when you won and she got scared 😂 Congrats man hopefully I get to see you at more tournaments
no shade to onin or any steve but the "top level" steves all have very exploitable habits and its so frustrating to see when people face them and i can see how badly the steves are fucking up but the other player has to respect them with how insane his burst options are and how quickly steve can rack up percent. it amazes me that steve wasnt tested extensively or else none of this would slide
I remember when Steve first came out I was in Marss twitch chat saying how when Steve develops hes goign to be a huge issue. Marss wasn't 100% on board but was the only other creator that responded with "I can see him being an issue with the blocks but IDK right now [...] Leaning toward he will". IDK how no one else saw what Steve was when he first came out lol
Marss: I'm camping Onin. Everyone: wow best set this one and Light one. Sonix: I'm camping Glutto. Everyone: omg so borring zzzonix. American perks are real.
Not really an American perk. Won plays Sonic, the other was playing against Steve (one of the three matchups where camping is a moral good). Pretty easy to see the difference
Your sets vs Dabuz and Zomba were genuinely heartbreaking. I was so confident you had an easy sweep to 4th. "Snake? Probably rob and corrin.. yeah marss wins those" and it broke me to see that zomba set
It’s definitely possible to play for timeout on ps2, just harder because of the layout rather than a stage like kalos for example Ps2 is definitely large enough though
Yeah but that sends up all kinds of red flags in my opinion; that a timeout is a necessary strategic consideration against another character in a tourney, and not just thinking about it because you are against Sonix and through constant battling just realized there's only 45s left and you're up...
@@afgcinc7206 Im not sure why it would send up 'red flags' because sometimes its just the best option and there shouldn't be anything wrong with that It really just means that you want to win sometimes And theory crafting stuff like this is definitely important because it took so long for people to realize that you can camp steve pretty well
we all love marss and hate steve but lets also give onin some respect. this is his first tourney back and he deals with more unreasonable hate then literally any top player (as a 17 year old)
steve players are allowed to play their SNK boss character just like spectators are allowed to hate said character pick, nothing against the guy himself tho
@@NeutralL12 for sure, its just that people have made personal attacks against him including death threats just for playing steve, which is just unacceptable for playing a video game character. also dudes still a great player even if he does play steve lol
Look at the breakdown and realize how much thought went into beating steve, i bet you 1000 dollars that a onin breakdown video wouldnt even be a quarter of precise or have as much counterplay in mind as this one. The character is extremely broken and the players are rewarded for being scrubs, ban steve go marss.
At 7:30 I was wrong about you doing bad sdi on the fairs however you only sdi'd one of the jabs and the one you did you sdi'd up instead of out so you essentially didn't sdi any of the jabs
Im not sure if I have ever popped off for a win as much as this match Loved seeing you competing at SSC, always a blast to see you actually trying Dont let the godlike run distract you from the fact that zss still sux
Marss has been kinda real on Steve and the amount of advantage he has for a while now, but it always helps to get a bit of breakdown again of it. Unfortunately the camping (as well as the Dabuz style) is almost a requirement to have a chance to win, and that should tell anybody objective that changes for the good of the game need to be made more broadly. EDIT: Also fair to say that Marss wasn't the only one a bit rusty, Onin had come off of a break I hear as well.
Onin is Carried. Im sure he is a great player but watching him just spam mine cart (which usually works) and get punished time and time again without changing strategies tell you all you need to know about general Steve play.
Congrats to Marss on continuing to be biologically different and taking names like he never left. Hope the recovery from the ACL surgery is swift and that u get plenty rest, cause we know carrying smash hype takes its toll
What happened to his acl?
@@dangkai6344popped off aggressively after he beat onin
@@dangkai6344 he reportedly “cranked that Soulja Boy” too hard according to sources
Marss will save smash from Steve.
Well acola won
Good point, to bad he never got his chance to defeat him
Cap
@@pumpkinbs911 we couldve had a steve ditto for grands though, way worse of a fate in my eyes
@@yugen.9043no way Onin or ddee was getting through Miya.
You had the whole defending champion bracket. Light won the smashcon before Onin and you had to fight them one after another.
And then went against second place 😭
Watching any good Steve lose is always a dopamine rush, watching Marss schmoove on anyone is like poetry.
Watching Marss beat a good Steve's ass is like actual heroin
clearly the game of Joker Aegis where you Jv3’d me was the perfect warmup, you’re welcome Marss
U actually ran into him in bracket?
@@eddie992 no it was a game on his stream in an arena he was doing an Ironman LOL
I did the math and you're absolutely correct
@@ngotemna8875 Onin better watch out I’m coming next
Marss was to me personally the highlight of this SSC. Good shit bro you played amazing and you bring a spark very few top players bring when playing this game.
Honestly seeing Marss camp Steve is so satisfying.
I am FIENDING for that Light set review.

That was so hype to watch live
Also definitely one of your best Pop-offs, that was raw
This set was so much fun to watch. I love watching Steve get outplayed.

Great showing at the tournament...congrats...
Not even an ACL tear can keep this man from defeating the funny block man.
Those bairs were on point this set
Marss you were on fire this tournament!!!! Love to see it 🔥🔥🔥
honestly watching this set was the most hype ive been for smash in years.
11:07 I think this nair flip kick would’ve worked if you had jumped before doing the flip kick just for that bit of extra height
The moral of the story is that getting hit by steve bair means you lose.
More tournament Marss; it’s what keeps me interested in the scene.
no shade to onin or any steve but the "top level" steves all have very exploitable habits and its so frustrating to see when people face them and i can see how badly the steves are fucking up but the other player has to respect them with how insane his burst options are and how quickly steve can rack up percent. it amazes me that steve wasnt tested extensively or else none of this would slide
“Get that weak shit out of my face” 😂🥶
Watching your sets, especially the AK one, was so great
"Ledge trapping from half stage"
Got me there 😅
Well deserved dub. Congrats
It's amazing to see marss still being goated at this game, despite going more in the content creator route
I’m all for these vods, love watching marss compliment his own gameplay
I remember when Steve first came out I was in Marss twitch chat saying how when Steve develops hes goign to be a huge issue. Marss wasn't 100% on board but was the only other creator that responded with "I can see him being an issue with the blocks but IDK right now [...] Leaning toward he will". IDK how no one else saw what Steve was when he first came out lol
That's why he dodged big nerf when patches still exist
That tech in game 5. Simply built different.
Onin is at my local and I can confirm, he's a back air bot.
Get gud scrub
the way you never did side b through block again after that one fsmash by the other steve player i forgor his name
I’ve never popped off more watching a livestream than when I watched this set and his set vs Light. Legendary
Marss truly showed shades of genesis 7 in smash con this year
Marss took down onin and light and then proceed to not elaborate further
congrats marss my favourite content creator getting top 8 at smash con 2023 thanks for putting steve in his place
This and the Light set were insaaane man
amazing. well done, marss!
He may beat onin to prevent him from defending his title, but acola still took it with Steve.
Hey Marss, can you make a video on proper shield pressure. If you did already can you point me to it?
Marss: I'm camping Onin.
Everyone: wow best set this one and Light one.
Sonix: I'm camping Glutto.
Everyone: omg so borring zzzonix.
American perks are real.
Not really an American perk. Won plays Sonic, the other was playing against Steve (one of the three matchups where camping is a moral good). Pretty easy to see the difference
People tend to like Marss and Gluto, people don’t like Sonic or Steve so they always wanna see them lose
i remember watching this live and saying to myself "HE IS NOT WASHED"
Loe to see Marss beating up a future McDonald's employee
If onin 3-0'ed Leo last year and then gets beat by marss does that make marss the... Best player??????😮😮😮😮
Marss is the hero that Smash doesn’t deserve
Your sets vs Dabuz and Zomba were genuinely heartbreaking. I was so confident you had an easy sweep to 4th.
"Snake? Probably rob and corrin.. yeah marss wins those" and it broke me to see that zomba set
I was rooting for you to win, sad to see you get out.
Camping Marss is Smash’s most feared enemy…
Massive gargantuan dub for team fundies
NO MARSS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE STEVE LOOK OP. NOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS YOU HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD THAT STEVE IS BEATABLE
As someone who's fucked his own knee when I saw that pop-off to limping strut I felt it
Tournament Marss is a whole ass mood
THIS SET HAD ME ON EDGE HOLY
Felicidades marss' KEEP GOING TO TOURNAMENTS.
How did you pull off your loss to dabuz? Light would never.
coming down to last hit game 5 to the runner up of ssc 2023, that's pretty good. we just dont talk about the zomba set
@@elireid4159 Not too tuned into the scene these days. really just tune in for void or marss. Used to really like the dabuz rosa though.

Looks at the hate Sonix gets
Favorite set from the tournament, you had a great run with such a bad character 🎉
That's my content creator right there baby
Amazing set and counter play
The whiff punish on Zair is bogus as he’s “slow” but what isn’t with Steve
That last stck was insane you dodged 9 bairs/fairs thst would have killed
Can we talk about marss’ green shirt? I just thought it was funny that he wore a green shirt on stream, or at least green writing on the shirt.
Now we are going to watch how you lost to zomba.
BOOOOSHHH!!!!
I shouted so hard, lets freaking go
I'm mad you dropped Joker though. I still think thats the best long term plan.
At 7:30 I was wrong about you doing bad sdi on the fairs however you only sdi'd one of the jabs and the one you did you sdi'd up instead of out so you essentially didn't sdi any of the jabs
If mkleo mains steve I think we're done for
This tournament run went brazy.
Marss vs. Light has the most views in YT of any set. Like 10k more than grands.
Im not sure if I have ever popped off for a win as much as this match
Loved seeing you competing at SSC, always a blast to see you actually trying
Dont let the godlike run distract you from the fact that zss still sux
I only get hype when I see Marss in tourneys ; everyone else at this point is monotonous
13:32 Content creator posterizes carried steve main circa 2023
And they thought he was washed... doesn't matter whether you won, you took names like you always have, and everyone knows now that Marss is back.
i just wanna point out, onin had a clean cut
I LOVE MARSS
Stone cold steve marrs
Losing with steve is crazy
You missed a nair flip kick against dabuz
Ahhh if only there wasn’t such a long cooldown for top 8
yippee !!!!!
Dr.Josh Still wholesome imo
I need to see you thoroughly embarass Light. I mean i watched the set, but I want to watch you watch the set
marss is the goat

Hope the surgery goes good big guy ❤
11:20 isn't it possible to jump then flick kick this kind of DI ? Or is that action too long to do
with that said, ban steve
You should’ve TIMED HIM OUT
Only raw pop-offs here
lol at the dude on the far right in the white shirt at 13:46 - 13:50.
Damn the run back he lost again
You're welcome
"seeded poorly" so few players talk about this very real problem. its basically match rigging...
