In case people are wondering still, it is Pikachus hurtbox that is huge in that instance, it's normally a good idea to throw out hitboxes if pika is going to quick-attack cuz you will probably hit him.

19:39 Even though ESAM hasn’t put up many too placements in a while, this gigabrain play reminds me he is still so worthy of that spot. The nair barely hitting the shield, knowing Riddles would pick a defensive option by opting for down smash, and reacting with the charge

ESAM PLAY ON ARCADE CONTROL? OMG LOL THIS GUY IS INSANE!!! SAKURAI NEED KNOW ESAM😮

Who do you guys think is the most technical player? Riddles because of all the true inputs he needs to memorize and bust out for Kazuya and Terry? Big D for his Iceies desync combos? Or MuteAce for his Peach combos? Or anyone else I left out?

@doodoo2065

Жыл бұрын

Most players will tell you that the most technical one is the one who plays their main Smash just like any other game has a lot of skills to learn, its easy to think someone is carried by a gimmick when 90% of the cast is supposed to be gimmicky, in reality its harder than that

@nemi9217

Жыл бұрын

The combos with Terry and Kazuya aren’t hard to do after a bit of practice, it’s all just muscle memory. What’s really impressive with Riddles is his movement with these two characters, no one else in Smash even comes close to the movement of Terry and Kazuya like Riddles.

@TeeKayDee

MuteAce has to be the most technical top player. Not even the combos just the movement is very technical Abadango is up there, maybe Asimo, Kome; Shogun used to be in the conversation I'm sure there are more technical non-top players though doing things like magnet carries and nana footstool jab loops

@@novasevnfold The short version can be summed in the video below which shows ESAM saying some very very offensive things to Nairo back in Smash 4 days. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6SOltaxhM_dl9Y.html The long version might put you to sleep. Let me start regardless. ESAM, a player who was well known for both his pikachu, mii brawler and box controller. But on social media and sometimes on stream, ESAM openly supports marxist theories as a potential solution of societal problems. You can already see the polarizing nature of ESAM here. ESAM also supports cancel culture as "accountability culture", helping to cancel several people without evidence including one instance where a troll impersonated another person on twitter and he cancelled the real person believing the troll was the real person. Because of this, when ESAM's past was dug up, it was discovered that ESAM had called someone a "Watermelon loving, fried chicken eating, grape juice drinking ****** who can't drive or swim". And then the Nakat/Nairo video came out that you see above. ESAM's apology video was very bad when he said "I talked to people who fell into the categories of the words I used and they said I was fine". I personally used to be an ESAM fan until this happened.
