You really can see the difference in perspective of the game between Leo and Tweek. Where Tweek looks at things on a theoretical/technical aspect, where Leo sees the game with an open mind,through instinct and intuition.
@fupalover unironically I think the biggest issue with tweeks sephiroth is he tries to play him as a safe coverage character like he does with diddy. But I think honestly you have to take smart risks to make him work (at least better), which I'm sure Leo will do
He said Lucario's out of shield is good. I play a loooot of Lucario, and this is the one argument I disagree with. His speed lets him reset pretty well, but when he's pinned down in shield, his only hope is usually dair oos and that isn't so good if they're spacing stuff. I do think his shield pressure and options are underrated
I think the dopest thing about Luminosity content is that we get see more of Maister and MKLeo's personality outside of the game. always respected their skill and talent. now they're not just bracket bosses.
Exactly like what Zackray did with sheik, he said she was a top 3 character and tried her out because of it, let’s just ignore that he doesn’t play her anymore and now puts her as like top 40
@@CazDad But like.......Imagne if it wasnt hahahaha He made Byleth work and ever since then, I feel like he could bring a new approach for Seph😅 Its probably copium on my end though😭😭
I've been a fan of all of you since I started watching competitive smash. It's crazy seeing y'all having a good time as teammates and doing this type of content. Great players, man...
FUCKING THANK YOU TWEEK. BANJO IS NOT LAME, I HONESTLY think hes only called lame cause his playstyle isnt inherently aggressive and he was a highly anticipated character so this unrealistic expectation was put oh them
I also like watching Sonix, I think people have a built in bias. The games are usually hard to watch in bad matchups against TOP players. Gluto won’t get near him, Acola plays yo time him and it’s 7 minutes of Sonix chasing. :/ I still enjoy Sonix,, those long games have hype last minutes.
Sonix isn’t even that campy, his sets against players like Glutonny or acola are just generally slower because acola and glutonny on their own are very campy players
Tweek talking about Seph is also Nairo's style. "You don't actually use the sword moves a lot, you grab a lot" conditioning shield into grabs into hard advantage state is like classic Nairo.... and Nairo also thinks that character sucks
I feel like Sephiroth is exactly the same type of character as Mewtwo. I heard Esam talk about Mewtwo under the same light once. These rare more zoning oriented swordies, you don't know exactly what to do with them to pressure. But you have decent combo potential and can deal a lot of damage pretty fast despite the light weight. I feel like you have to constantly switch back between very agressive and very defensive to get the reward or you simply stay too passive. And both are good in these two departments. Only sure thing is it's extremely hard to play but can be very overwhelming when you find the right balance. Reason why I think they really shine bright in the hands of the best players.
Hot take: if lylatt didn’t have those whack slants, it’d be an okay addition to the stage list. Shallow bottom and side blast zone which would make bans matter more and, because of the platform layout, it make advantage really really (eg ledge pressure, juggling/harder to land than other triplats) strong yet still being a triplat without the cheesy top platform. It’s also more balanced in neutral compared to other triplats since you pretty much always have access to a platform which is broken obvs. 2 things against it are that it’d just be another big stage added to the list and (admittedly this is a skill issue) recovering can be very awkward for some characters (e.g. pinappling and angling Diddy barrels)
The slants aren’t even the main problem It’s due to its legacy as the more universally hated stage and its jank The slants do contribute to its ban but I don’t think the slants are that impactful to really not bring it back It should be back for the sake of a smaller stage and it’s a bad Steve stage It needs to be back imo
I am sephiroth main my friend and as unfortunate as it is the character is really really REALLY bad, HORRENDOUS frame data + light weight means you die from whiffing an attack at like 60 and to top it all off 0 out of shield, and his only strength being his range is very inconsistent because sometimes I literally see the sword hitting my opponent and it still won’t register.
Someone at top level who actually believes in the character AND uses him would actually turn some heads. Tweek thinks he sucks and still got big dubs with him. Imagine somebody at that level believing in him like Gluto believes in Wario.
@@andrebaxter4023 Yo andre! Yeah Tweek almost won summit with Seph. The problem with Tweek is that he doesn't main Sephiroth. He would stop using him for a while and then pull a cold Seph in bracket and complain he's bad. Seph is pretty high maintenance, and needs a high level player that mains him I agree! I always wanted Leo to show what Seph can do. His spacing is always immaculate and he's the best sword player.
@@mohammadalhusaini810I will just casually drop the greatest proof Sephiroth is actually good, and that all those rantings about him are victim-wannabe-lies: Pro players like Tweek and Nairo do main him, use him, and win over and over with him. If they really thought he was THAT bad, they wouldn't even bother on continuing with him, heck, Tweek has gone to tournaments where there have been amazing amounts of REAL-LIFE MONEY at stake, and he has gone with Sephiroth several times. Would you really rely on a bad character for that kind of scenarios? No, I didn't think so.
Bowser Jr being compared to sonic has not only always been insane to me personally, but that wasn't even a hot take. I think the best comparison is Diddy Kong, as both are high combo mobile characters that have solid trapping. Also its kinda funny they also have such gimp able up bs. Ignore that last one, Bowser Jr players should play Diddy tho
@@illusry7631Ladies and gentlemen, your average Elite Smash shitter in their natural habitat, making stereotypical approaches at the surface level when there’s so much more if you were to open up your fucking eyes for once lmao
0:45, well yes and no, I play a lot of Lucario to know that he has a lot of potential, such as Aura sphere into footstool, into jab lock into down smash.
remember arguing with some clowns on a Larry Lurr's stream. I was trying to tell them Lucario has great moves and frame data but they swore I was wrong and claimed he has bad moves. When I asked them which moves, they couldn't name one. For years people regurgitated the nonsense that Lucario is bad and the narrative that he relies on losing as if he's completely unusable without Aura.
Agreed. For one, his disadvantage is veeery good. Good air speed, b reversals, a pretty good recovery, and a stalling dair with a decent hitbox makes him unusually hard to juggle and gimp. His nair is also incredible, imagine wolf nair but much harder to parry because of the multihit
they don't play the same, but they have a weirdly similar goal. But in fairness Jr Side b is used in the exact same way Sonic's is, they are also both pretty good camping characters, obviously done differently by both. Basically they are both fairly slow with forward moving burst options that net full combos/advantage state. Now Junior does also have down b but the reward isn't as string, just as sonic has some buttons that can net reward but aren't as good as Spin Dash/Charge
Another thing when playing Lucario, never take damage intentionally, if you're at low percents, Make the most out of your combos and edge guards, and if you're at hypersense, make the most out of hard reads
I know Fire emblem characters get a bad rep but a lot of them are super hyper to watch for me and Leo's Byleth will never not be hype af, it's just a very different type of hype to the Joker. The only FE characters I can see not being that hype are Robin because it's mostly setup, Lucina because she's too vanilla and Ike because he's too slow and one dimensional, but the sound of Marth's tipper?, Corrin's and Byleth's bs?, Chrom's raw power that people often forget about? that's hype, and Roy will always be our boy.
I think sonic is actually really cool and can be played hype and I think sonix does a good job with it. My hot take used to be that fox is insanely good, before the year of light, now everyone knows fox is top tier but they still refuse to admit that Marth is better than Lucina. PS: for tweek's sake, Olimar, Isabel, duckhunt, PK fire (the character), Mii swordfighter, Mii gunner, Palutena, Toon link, bowser Junior and the most water flavored character Lucina.
When hes running the clock its still pretty cool imo because its skillful Id rather watch sonic time someone out then kazuya mash EWGF and 0 to death his opponent off of every stray hit
You really can see the difference in perspective of the game between Leo and Tweek. Where Tweek looks at things on a theoretical/technical aspect, where Leo sees the game with an open mind,through instinct and intuition.
And they converged time and time again as each others only equals in classic ultimate era, so fascinating
Tweek camps. Leo is hype.
@fupalover unironically I think the biggest issue with tweeks sephiroth is he tries to play him as a safe coverage character like he does with diddy. But I think honestly you have to take smart risks to make him work (at least better), which I'm sure Leo will do

So by removing the one thing that makes it unique, itd be competitively viable? Thats lame.
@@plantseason290 nah, the platform layout and blast zones are more relevant for counterpicking anyway lol
so battlefield with shorter center plat? like, thats just, boring
The slants aren’t even the main problem
It’s due to its legacy as the more universally hated stage and its jank
The slants do contribute to its ban but I don’t think the slants are that impactful to really not bring it back
It should be back for the sake of a smaller stage and it’s a bad Steve stage
It needs to be back imo
So remove everything that’s different about the stage cause that’s totally…what we need rn
Never knew you three would be this much fun to watch. And the hot takes thing has a ton more that could be said. Part 2 maybe?

Leo's byleth is more hype than his joker imo. The shit he does with byleth is so nice to see.
They asked how Byleth is hype, and Leon said "up-b back-air"; but he should have mentioned that one time he did up-b to arrow and sniped!
Imagine if Sephiroth came out when Byleth did we might have gotten an era of Leo playing him instead.

Fact sonic is pretty hype to watch when he's not running for the clock, even then, it funny as hell.
When hes running the clock its still pretty cool imo because its skillful
Id rather watch sonic time someone out then kazuya mash EWGF and 0 to death his opponent off of every stray hit

Not a hot take, Tweek's Diddy Kong is actually really fun and hype to watch.
