      Don't listen to suw, it's something almost no marth ever does even though it's "optimal" at that distance, Zain has just practiced vs Sheik a crazy amount
      Keep in mind that if they throw out needles close to you and expect you to parry it, they get a free aerial after your move comes out. Zain knew he could get away with it in that position.

    Very controversial game, Leffen was justified when Kodorin also had the same issue, but he says something only after Zain took a stock during the second game. Leffen says it started during the first stock but I think it was right at the start of the second game? Not sure if he meant that, regardless sucks that it happened.

      You want to track which moves were in the staling queue while you're at it? It's more convenient to just restart the game plus if there was actually an issue with the CRT then it would have also been unfair to Leffen to keep playing a game already affected by technical difficulties. It's really unfortunate what happened, but at least they didn't restart the whole set
