My God... Cake is just so ahead of the competition

[@JamesNG_]

The three people who outplaced him at the 1024 entrant coinbox weren't there. Granted it was online and he is still godlike, but I think "so ahead of the competition" discredits the other great players

[@apolmedrano3914]

@@JamesNG_yes everyone is so amazing at this game to even make it on stream. I am glad we get the pleasure to watch such great matches. I hope everything is going great in your life

[@alttiseppanen]

@@JamesNG_ I mean that was right after fleet nerfs and while cake forsburn def has some carry over skill from rivals 1 I doubt he was completely comfortable with the character back then. This tournament is really missing the best kragg and wrastor players tho which I think are the clear top 2 characters.

[@curtisramsey6678]

Wait until marlon comes back

[@bumibomber]

@@alttiseppanen Zeebee was in this tourney wasnt he?

[@hightower39]

Crazy that cake can dominate the new Rivals with almost no break in stride

[@nwz6084]

until Marlon comes back.

[@MrNigel117]

stango took one stock and cake took that personally

[@supersmashdylan]

It's scary to think how different this game will be played in 2 years. Players will look back from 2026 thinking this was clunky

[@cubesandpi]

4:29 wtf

[@ScrapsandSlaps]

9 min grands?
GGs I guess

[@finnyb0i1]

Yeah they need to start putting filler to at least give the illusion of competition

[@emmettsmith1387]

Fullstream come back! We need you!

[@jtshmo]

@@emmettsmith1387 real shit bro he needs to reawaken

[@PocketMaewing]

@@emmettsmith1387 don’t worry Marlon coming back soon 🤞 Fullstream coming out of retirement would be super hype tho also I could see penguin making a good run but they said they don’t want to play rivals 2 competitively until Absa releases

[@juansantiago6824]

I've seen him play Void on twitch, not sure if he'll try competing again though

[@PocketMaewing]

@@juansantiago6824 yeah he addressed it on that stream that he is retired

[@garaa9222]

Commentator going through it during the whiffed parries. Good job on the other guy being able to bring it back to the fight

[@AG-hf7hk]

Those plays were nasty, hot damn. Congrats to cake!

[@firecross625]

how do you even hit cake dude

[@TheBeggies95]

As a melee player, i like these 2 guys were in grands. GGs Cake

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Can't wait until other people get to Cake's level, his play is mesmerizing

[@benkevelson5942]

Stango is nice with it but this was a bodybag, ggs

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

This looks insane

[@D-W-N-Xsist]

We need Absa in Rivals 2, Bring Penguin back!

[@BrandoDennis]

Crazy this is a grand finals match smh

[@sonictrain1]

Rest in peace fleet

[@LinneReal]

My goat is so back.

[@TheFallGrind]

Cake is so fast

[@ijaymez176]

Wonder what Stango said lmao
Cake is insane, love the Fors gameplay

[@Shleppy_]

I missed the first word, but he definitely ends with "...so fucking stupid" lol

[@shrivel_d]

i thought this was a pools match omg

[@xNulg]

Cake assualt just dropped a fat log on Stango. R.i.p

[@WoahNowAreYouOkay]

Fors is sick but the other characters need more sauce

[@2000xmegaman]

What happened to Marlon??

[@MilkHS]

He's in the Wrastor discord

[@JoeJoe0o]

Making me want to put in the work for forsburn lol, after i started losing the mirror match i went back to lox

[@EDDYSUNSHINEv2]

Thought "Lox" said "Fox" and I had to double take.😂

[@cloverleaf5645]

Nice to see Cake on his old rivals main

[@PocketMaewing]

We need Marlon back to put a end to cake assault’s reign of terror

[@Pistallion1]

@@PocketMaewing what happened to Marlon

[@PocketMaewing]

@ he got a temp ban until 2025

[@PurposeDriven7_]

Doubt it, Marlon’s main got heavily nerfed and he was only dominating online.

[@PocketMaewing]

@@PurposeDriven7_ Marlon is the only person to have a positive set count on cake assault on lan in rivals 2… pls learn your facts before talking also Marlon does not only play wrastor lmfao

[@louisjourdan9441]

wow

[@ItsAK9]

Cake stocks are always up and they gonna be loaded next year with the forsburn~

Valiant effort but the video is 9 min long lol

[@JEWong47]

Forsburn downplayers in shambles

[@MrNigel117]

in rivals 1 there's a patch note saying that fors isn't op, cake is just that much better than everyone else

[@ijaymez176]

@@MrNigel117 HAHAHAH that's glorious

[@spaghetti_Steven]

jesus christ

[@palatonian9618]

Cake = Rivals Jesus

[@MilkHS]

Not knocking Cake, he's sick, but does anyone else think spamming clone is a terrible viewing experience? Dan said he nerfed a bunch of characters to make the game more fun, but this doesn't look fun to me.

[@plastickkerorolm4889]

Nah I love the creative clone usage

[@awa0927]

You say that like clones are OP.

[@KTSpeedruns]

I feel like Forsburn has a ridiculous amount of moves with ridiculously fast frame data. Pair that with tons of kill confirms and the most tools to be so shifty, it almost feels unfair. But, I guess if it bleeds we can kill it so obviously it doesn't need to be fixed, right?

[@Asmerth]

Nah cakeassault is just that guy
