*Mang0 on stream* After winning teams, SFAT was super happy and was not doing anything while Pew and Axe had their set and he had this conversation with Mang0 during that set: Mang0: Hey Zac, aren't you gonna warm up or something? SFAT: Nah man I'm feeling super good right now, I don't need to warm up. *Proceeds to get 3-0'd* Mang0: ROFL
Its sad tbh, I know he's obviously good but he is literally that overhyped jobber anime character and its sad. oh well. he did 3-0 hbox and beat mango before though so yeah (and those sets are easy to find too)
Alex Dang the antithesis of this mindset is the reason why there aren't more relatively new/breakout players challenging the top top level competitors like Armada MaNg0, m2k, Hbox, Leffn, ppmd(comeback soon), Axe, sfat, etc. Earlier in their careers. It's also the reason why it takes so long for mid level players to make the leap into high tier top 25 player status. Rishi/SmashG0d, Zain, Syrox, King Momo, etc. are def a breath of fresh air in this regard.
I don't know the % range but I know there are certain situations where it will hit and walk forward tipper won't, iirc primarily when they DI straight up at certain percents.
You're sleeping on Chu. He has a 3-0 record vs mango and a 3-1 record vs m2k still this year. Chu at Smash Con lost to Zain who ended up placing top 8, and SFAT. At EVO he lost to The Moon who ended up placing top 8 and SFAT. His problem is that for EVO he was preparing too much for Hbox that he wasnt prepared for SFAT.
XCorazónX Don't be so sure about SFAT. He's kept his rank for a couple years now, and he's definitely remained relevant linger than Chu and Ice. I'm curious to see if Zain can do the same.

Man this is what melee needs, some new blood in the top 8. #makemeleegreatagain
this aged very well
Leffen dropped out bc he was scared of zain
SFAT getting dumped on is the most entertaining thing to watch in Melee
I literally think I haven't ever seen SFAT win a singles match in any VBGC match I've watched. I know he's a doubles god though.

Zain don't care about your SSBMRank
Alex Dang that has to be the mentality

Zain if your watching this and reviewing you did amazing dude
Zain is playing out of his mind this tournament good lord
This set was hype live!
tjhazukiv1 it was awesome, I was freaking out at work
Frank the Tank i was at the venue. the entire venue was freaking out lol. i congratulated/spoke with zain after the event was over.
Ngl i saw this set and thought 'yeah haha lets watch zain get this 3-0'
i see you now zain
@Zain explain urself: when does the uthrow no DI pivot tipper actually work? And does it accomplish the same thing as walk forward tipper?
I don't know the % range but I know there are certain situations where it will hit and walk forward tipper won't, iirc primarily when they DI straight up at certain percents.
I'm curious about this too.
He just likes pivoting bro, that and dash dancing
I just wanted to rewatch this again
Remember when Chudat won the Smashie for Most Improved Player?
Smash Jigglypuff Is Not Female At the time we didn't really know about Zain like this
He 3-0'd Leffen at Smash N' Splash, they were sleeping on the man
edit: 3-2 my b
3-2*
Samuel vi Britannia MDVA knew

Get freed up SFAT LMAO Zain moving up the ranks big time
2:33 The up variant would have won it and still be hype. I understand why he did what he did though.

Who's this mans!?
fendy layin down the law at the end there
Zain is the basedlord
Sfat played pretty bad, but Zain was on firrrrrrre
Zain is damn broken.
that was NOT worth
Zain looking like M2K.
Zain did some amazing stuff but his edgeguards were garbage good shit tho
Sfat, ice, and chu all had a little momentum, but now they seem washed up. That's exactly why they'll never be at god level. No consistency
XCorazónX Don't be so sure about SFAT. He's kept his rank for a couple years now, and he's definitely remained relevant linger than Chu and Ice. I'm curious to see if Zain can do the same.
