@@AndresAndr95 The irony is present in the fact that despite them being the best players in the western hemisphere, they can still put up the same numbers they did when the game first dropped.
About Glutonny's performance in Genesis 8. In a french documentary about the french dimension, he stated he couldn't win against Leo unless he was at 110% of his capacities and Leo wasn't at 100%. It shows how strong Leo was in 2022
Brother didn't even mention Tweek as a potential winner even with him fresh off a major win and seeded 4th. That's how bad my man's bracket is.... feels bad man.
I get that both player and character-wise Tweeks bracket has some historically tough match ups, but as a top 10 player in the world I think he should be expected to win regardless. Goblin shouldn’t be beating Tweek, and Tweek is far better than Onin and Yaura (even factoring in Steve and Samus). Being able to overcome adversity is what separates top tier players from the rest, so hopefully Tweek doesn’t fold. We’ll see though
He always gets stacked brackets. TOs have a hard on for giving him some of the worst just to see other match ups. They have actually talked about his brackets being like this quite a bit either through commentary or Tweek Talks.
@@hateispureI think he can deal with onin based on how close some of his sets with acola have been, but yaura is gonna be a different beast. I mean they beat sparg0 who is for sure better than tweek in a matchup that’s worse for yaura than tweek is
@@hateispure Whilr I concur with Goblin not beating Tweek, you should look at their previous sets. He has a Shot but I can easily see Yaura over Tweek. He has good Diddy experience and Tweek already lost to sisqui. It's going to be a great weekend.
Leo could never win another set, but he will still forever be cemented as the Ultimate GOAT. Only certified haters and Jealous players can say otherwise
The Marss vs Leo set was what made me go from just playing casually to following tournaments and the competitive scene, S/O Alpharad for tweeting about this set specifically, helped me find competitive smash AND realize that sets like this were happening in my region
Yeah that whole tournament was sick. Marss was just the best player in the world that day and the level those two and many others played at is in my opinion the actual shift in Ultimate's history across the edge towards the kind of smash we play today. I think of pre-pandemic smash as kind of rudimentary compared to today and G7 imo was that line
About Leffen's Ultimate career, he beat WaDi & Seagull Joe at Genesis, got 17th at SSC 2019 with wins on Salem & Maister as well as 9th at Ultimate Summit 2 by way of sending fucking Tweek out at last, while also nabbing a win at a probably-should've-been C tier over Mr.R twice & would've made top 50 if not for the would be C tier missing out on that status on the entrant based TTS by just 2 entrants
It was no accident. the king of New York consistently got 9th in two super majors in Japan and won the cafeteria cup in that same region. The opponents that zomba lost to in the first and third tournament he entered was toriguri who breaks the limits of banjo kazooie, doramigi who has beaten acola more than once and got second place in the next tournament acola competed in, yaura who beat spargo 3-0 in kagiribi the one spargo won from losers and has a win on acola in the early days of acolas career, and finally hurt the best snake player in the world the same one who defeated acola in the first set at Delta 5 grands from losers and has a w on miya from that tournament. All of these people are some of japans finest players which forshadowed his win at genesis. Although the cafeteria cup was a b tier tournament it showed he could beat japans best players. Some of the players who lost that tournament were asimo who has won game 5 against acola senra the worlds potential best jigglypuff and Atelier who best gluto 3-0 and defeated neo the same player who will get 5th at the than future genesis x. Once zomba came back to the us he won two tournaments from losers. Destroying jackal in grand finals. And defeated Syrups Steve from losers bracket which shows acola must bring his a game if he wants to beat zomba again. By extension it shows that zomba is a Steve slayer just like Marss when he enters local tournaments with other Steve’s not named acola. My question is how will acola fare against a new stronger version of zomba?
Genesis was one of my first Majors and always been my favorite event series so getting to Write & Edit this one was really fulfilling- I hope you all enjoyed it!
How did it take me this long to find this channel? This is gold! Well edited, well written, good narration and good audio quality, this is truly one of the video essays of all time
As a marss fan, I'm biased, but G7 grand finals is still my favorite set to just sit down and watch. Both players dancing around each other with highly mobile characters and making layers of reads just mesmerizes me. It's also the set I show people when I introduce them to the idea of a smash bros competitive scene to give them an idea of the pace the game can be played at. Side note, the montage editing is fantastic, especially love the music for the G7 set
Hahaha. And he uses basketball (celtics/bulls) to make an example for a historic team/player instead of, for example, the 5 time consecutive champions leagues won by real madrid.
I used to watch your Melee videos even though I'm not a Melee player, bc I love Smash and your production quality makes them extremely entertaining nonetheless. So nice to see you made an Ultimate channel! Excited to watch this video and all the others :)
Its video's like this that make me proud to be a fan of this game. Thank you walt for everything you do for this community, no one else does it like you
crazy to think that leo might not even be top 5 in 2023/2024. Top competitors seem to have Leo's game read for the most part after so many years of watching him at the top.
@@Alibaba-id1cs ironically enough for both of us 🤣 3 players using corrin in Top8, none of which were Leo! A ROB did in fact defeat Sonix for GX! We were this close to unlocking our third eye or something lolol
Dude, it felt like genesis is a scripted tournament for MK Leo he just seems unstoppable. Only one person has ever taken Leo spot as a genesis winner. He plays like Gojo before Shibuya. All I’m saying is, don’t be surprised if Leo wins another genesis.
Heard he wasn't feeling like playing, then when he saw the competition he wanted to go, but because he's a minor it was too late for zeta to set up for him to go since he needed an adult to go with him among some other stuff. That's just what I heard
I wouldn’t put any money on Riddles. The top players have been getting way better at the Terry/Kazuya matchup and they aren’t going to have issues beating a pocket Roy. Plus Riddles has split his time between 3 different games.
Not to troll, but between Miya vs Maister or Sonic vs Ken, which ditto would you prefer n who would you root for? Just thought it'd be interesting to think about haha
@11:06 Lists work from top down. Tried to follow along while watching and had no idea you'd start from the bottom up, doesnt makes sense, regardless of rankings. Idk these people, im a melee guy, willing to learn.. but to list a name of players for a few seconds, starting from the bottom up? its unnatural... just a heads up
i really hope marss wins king con.. i really think if he did he would put his all back into competing. i need that genesis 7 marss back, one of the sickest players to ever do it.
Like this comment if you want to see this for Melee
Do it
Hey Walt, I would like to see this for melee
Yes please
Been waiting walter 😊
Please zaddy Walter
4:35 Ironic how Sonix and Spargo's Genesis 6 placements are the exact same placements they got at Smashcon 2023. I guess some things never change.
I think ironic isn’t the word more like a coincidence.
If it was another Genesis maybe that word would work

Glutonny is and always has been incredible. Knowing he and Leo play pretty often him making that kind of statement truly shows a lot of respect
Even after EVO left Smash behind, it never really mattered in the end cause Genesis was basically Smash’s EVO
Tweek and Leo have never played at Genesis? WELL IT IS TIME FOR HISTORY TO BE MADE

Marss has to be one of the most ambitious edgeguarders in Ultimate’s history. He always goes out there, and so many of his stocks are won off stage.
18:50 I forgot about that, oh god. The Cosmos…
"HE PUT A STOP TO ALL OF THEM"
*shows Cosmos SD* lmao.
Recapping such a coveted tournament was such a good idea. Are you planning on doing more of these? Like going over all summits since they are done?

Genesis 7 grands is my favorite set of all time. Almost every stock loss is a banger
I hope MKleo and tweek lock in! if I see a Steve or sonic grands I'm tuning out for sure.
honestly i feel like if acola isnt attending it, steve will still menace top 64/128 like he always does, but he isnt touching top 8 of a supermajor.
Imagine being the #1 rank player in the world and not going to genesis. That would be crazy, right?
Smash in 2019 is peak smash
Who else would lose it if Leo somehow managed to take GX this weekend? Myself included.
Same
In like a happy way? Cuz I need him to win
@@yasserjimenez8070 Yeah happy way of course. Really want him to get the double 3 peat
It’s crazy that we wanted him to lose sometimes, but now we only want him to win, I hope he really does well
