Dude this set was heart racing. Sean is a new favourite of mine. His gameplay is not only clean, but super entertaining to watch. Cosmos was the perfect opponent. Both of them kept the fast pace of the matches all the way through. Great job by both players
There are very few ballsy enough to go for a double footstool in a tournament match. There are even fewer who would do it in a top 8 qualifier match. But Sean is just that man.
As a person who plays Captain falcon I love his high risk high reward because when you bet it all, The crowd is always on your side.. Great job on both players.
Definitely the hypest Falcon. In general, I think there are other more technical players. But that's a character thing. I too come back to this set every once in a while because I miss Sean at thise big tournaments :(
6:56 That down throw to reverse up air to back air is so clean. I've tried doing this before but I'm bad, but I felt like it was possible to get the sour spot up air into bair. I don't think it's true, but it's not something people would expect.
if you have tap jump turned off, you can hold the stick up and to the left to turn around imediently, and then you can imput a short hop and a Aerial and you will get up air, because well you are holding up, and then change directions to point your stick to the right, and do jump aerial to get backair. Luigi also does sour spot up air into back air at 50 percent off of a grab, so I am familiar with this
Falcon main here. Its true and good to catch di in/down/maybe up at ~45 and good to catch di in at ~75 with the full hop reverse upair back air(can kill near ledge). At 75 the opponent can di away the up air to not get hit by the back air. You can tilt cancel to get the reverse up air to be more reliable at the ~45%. Started implementing this into my gameplay in Novemberish and it is hella clean but harder to pull off than other things(like idj)
Dang Sean is just another thing entirely. I couldn't even look away for basically that entire set. Props to Cosmos for never seeming to be phased, even when there was some wth bs(?) going on.
That set was insane... Sean's Falcon reminds me a bit of (better) Marss'. In a sense that yeah, he's probably not as good and polished as Fatality, but the guy's options are so bonkers and unpredictable that it's working.
@@showmeyourmoves8551 I think in technical ability and combo consistency fatality is better, but it seems that whenever he makes it to top 8s he can't hold his composure and his game suffers. Sean may not do cutscenes every time but he had the fortitude that it takes to win.
@@showmeyourmoves8551 Fatality makes it farther than sean on a much more consistent basis and is a much higher ranked player. I like both players but Fatality os definitely not over rated, he's the gold standard for a reason.
@@Firefight_ nairo always roote for him, and it's actually really funny so it makes me somewhat root for him too. That said I was rooting for gluto in the shadow realm
Falcon players always seem to do well against Aegis, which is pretty weird tbh. Like I still think Aegis still solidly beat Falcon, but still weird. Reminds me of how in Melee, Samus players always seem to do well against Fox players despite Fox winning that matchup.
Cosmos has had trouble with Falcon since Sm4sh. Kind of makes sense, since Cosmos has random moments of choking and doing weird options, Falcon will light you up and shift the momentum in a heartbeat.
Cosmos fanboys: “Cosmos is not carried! He only lost to the best player in the world while using Aegis against Corrin that he dropped” *After losing to Sean’s Falcon* Cosmos Fanboys: …
I mean Cosmos isn’t carried, him losing to Sean just means that Sean played better the entire set, which is true. Aegis is easy, yeah can’t lie, but you’ve still gotta put in a lot of effort if you want amazing results with them. You’re not gonna be beating top players simply because you chose an easy character. Cosmos has proved he’s a very skilled player time and time again.
@@josephtpg7329 Yeah but the fact he dropped a character that leo won a major with just goes to show that it wasn't the character holding him back it was him.
@@sroth2021 leo is a different beast, is not fair to compare him. Cosmo is a strong player but not top 10, but def falls somewhere between 15-25 which is still a good player.
@JosephTPG When has Cosmos got these consistently high placings in Ultimate back when he didn’t play Aegis? His Inkling didn’t remotely get the same placing consistency as he is getting from Aegis. That is the very definition of carried. It’s different then when MKLeo and Spargo used the character. They already proved time and time again they can still place consistently high without relying on a carry character like Aegis It took until MKLeo having an interest in Corrin for Ultimate to show the character can win events while Cosmos apparently couldn’t make Corrin work in Ultimate
@@mrharvy100 he dropped corrin before the countless buffs he got and when he was an inkling main he was PGR 11 spring 2019 and 23 in the fall. So he was still a good player, is he playing better now cause hes playing a strong character yeah but is not carried. Carried would be if he was not even in the PGR at all and now he was placing like this.
Probably the second best Falcoln right now, and he's been getting better and better. He also plays with Fatality ever now and then. I definitely get student-teacher vibes from those two.
@@Veganstega yeah before this tournament I was thinking Andrik might be second to best but now after beating Cosmos and landing a falcon punch the tides have turned. Andrik third to best tho
When you hit someone's shield you get pushed back a bit, so cosmos landed onstage but the pushback from hitting shield pushed cosmos back offstage and cancelled the move
Sean has been having a hella run in this tournament up to this point (not done watching it yet LOL). I wonder how he'd do against Fatality in the ditto.
man it feels good to see pisstra have all the privileged tools in the world and still get shit on by ultimate's falcon. Just tells us how fuckin goated Sean is at this game.
This felt less like Sean was winning and more like Cosmos was losing. He's been doing way better since picking up a stronger character but his nerves have always been what's really held him back
To be fair, Sean forced most of those "SD's". Photon edge didn't reach - but if it had, he would have gotten stomped. UpB missing ledge - but he had to drift back, or else down tilt would have hit him to death. So really it was only one unforced SD, and the rest he was either forced to SD or would have died either way. Unfortunate, but not something that lost him the set. Sean was simply better, and probably should have had that 3-0, in my opinion.
I feel like Cosmos found out glaring issues in his gameplay by playing this set. First of all, his off stage game, in which he got outclassed every single time. He never managed to punish Sean properly, even without jump. And then...well he messed up quite a bit of important things. A kill confirm on Pyra, and some SDs
I like how fatality dosent make top 8 every tournament and people say he's washed frame 1 and that x falcon sit best falcon The same way how if Leo dosent win every tournament people call him washed as well If you sincerely believe that Sean or ogey ect are better then griffin Then your retarded and have no clue how smash works
Why would Kazuya be a villain? At least he requires you to have consistent technical proficiency to actually use him competively. Aegis you can learn in a day.
@@mrharvy100 because the character with I-frames out the boot on every move + true 70% and/or death comboes + being a top 10 heaviest character would make it seem that no matter how good the opponent is, as long as you know how to do the funny electric move you can win regardless.
Cosmos I thought we were past this choking crap… yikes I guess that Leo set did more damage than expected… ggs Sean Mfer played mario on cosmos first game
You do know that's far from the truth right? Fatality has way more top 8s under his belt as well as consistency in terms of placings while it's Sean's very first top 8 in smash ultimate and prior to that, his results were pretty weak. Good shit to Sean but don't spread misinformation cause you wanna debate for the sake of it.
65th at CEO while Fatality got 4th, he got 25th SWT qualifiers while Fatality got 17th, he also got 17th at cardd's basement while fatality got 3rd, same tournaments they've been attending by the way. Again, stop spreading misinformations. Look up at facts for once in your life instead of speaking out of your azz.
@@F4b93z relax it’s an opinion. It’s not spreading misinformation. I’m gonna stick by what I said. Just off Sean’s gameplay/ explosiveness/creativeness I think he has more potential, and I could totally see him winning a major before fatality any day. Relax.

Captain Falcon fights for the people.
This is by far the craziest closest set I've ever seen. Sean is definitely a new favorite and a falcon I will be watching closely
Coming back to this set a year later, Sean is still the hypest player in smash
Definitely the hypest Falcon. In general, I think there are other more technical players. But that's a character thing.
I too come back to this set every once in a while because I miss Sean at thise big tournaments :(
When ever I think of captain falcon I got to watch this
Coming back 4 months later to watch again as this is one of my favorite sets ever
I can’t believe I haven’t heard of Sean sooner, easily one of the hypest players around at least imo
he was formerly cashemere in smash4! amazing player and i think he was second best falcon in the world at that time behind fatality

Probably the second best Falcoln right now, and he's been getting better and better. He also plays with Fatality ever now and then. I definitely get student-teacher vibes from those two.
He went by Cashmere in Smash 4, and was probably the second best Falcon in that game. At this point he might be the second best in this game too.
Formerly known as Cashmere in Sm4sh, been playing on and off for a while. From CFL, started to take Smash more seriously recently.
