Tea Pacman is probably my favorite thing to watch in this game. But hot damn Hikaru Donkey Kong making a case for it, two absolutely cracked players here
@@demonellblockstarplanet8312 Watch closer, watch again and again. You will see that he only engages melee fight when the enemy give him no other options. His playstyle is to drop the hydrant to split the scenario in 2, move away from the target, charge his special and then use it. Then repeat. How do you call that? It's not a zoner because he doesn't force the enemy to stay in a zone. He just protects HIS zone, therefore, a camper.
@@mariooo88 Of course he does, and that's what he got to do, or else he would actually be a bad pac man ? I don't understand your point saying "if that's the highest level I'm sad" ? What is he supposed to do then ?
My heart started pounding when Tea was on the verge of losing in the last one. But then that play where he just looped around and sent DK to the blast zone was perfect.
I'm glad I'm not crazy. Donkey Kong is stupid strong in the right hands, even against the best Pac-Man. Always thought this matchup was in Pac-Man's favor, but Dk mains are on another level. Always whoop my butt. This set was too close.
It really was. DK is only +1 for us since he has Hydrant counters and back air. DK can genuinely make it work. Edit: I meant to say +1. We beat DK, just not by a giant amount.
@@Fathergoodies Exactly. This matchup still sucks ass for DK but matchups dont matter at this top level. If both players are evenly skilled it can go either way. And Hikaru is cracked too
i love how this fight evolved. hikaru went from jumping a lot dodging faking atacks like in the first round to a more tanky playstyle. calculating waiting only shielding no useless jumps exactly how i play dk
It hurt me as a DK main. DK doesn’t deserve such a bad vertical recovery option! I’d like him to have a barrel blast up special that works exactly like the barrels on dk stages except you can choose the direction and power
Bro why is nobody talking about the suicide spike at the end, and using pac mans bell to make up a combo on the go as well... Simply just incredible, what a game of smash bros
@@vick7868 I don't think he would smack chunky, but I do think it would come down to who plays smarter. Both know the kill percents for ding dong perfectly, unlike most commentators lol! I could honestly see either one winning. Based on tournament results, Hikaru does have the edge.
May have just been me but I realized Tea jumped a lot trying too get back on stage. I ss hoping Hikaru would’ve adapted and up-B on the stage for a cheese kill lol
the crowd losing it everytime DK does anything is gold
Fully deserved I'm over her hyped asf lmao. I love Tea but I wanted game 5 so bad
@@lyrics2challenged there were some insane plays from DK ngl I wish he won game 5
@@SkitZiee game 4* and maybe game 5 if it happened lol
If Hikaru could hit pacman with the bell he would have won the tournament O_o...
I mean, it is dk 😳
If Hikaru can do these matchups with donkey Kong, I promise you can beat the Samus at you local with your main
Hikaru is cracked
Whoever said that hasn't been to a local. There is always one Samus or Yoshi, on God.
I wish
@@Aflay1 laughs in yoshi-o who mains both
He lost tho
Kaz: *does combo*
Crowd: 😐😐
DK: *does back air*

Dk nevwr gets 3rd in tojurneys ofc people are cheering
Kaz: does boring Kaz things.

Deserved
and?
People love an underdog
Tea Pacman is probably my favorite thing to watch in this game. But hot damn Hikaru Donkey Kong making a case for it, two absolutely cracked players here
hikaru is a giga chad for making WF with fucking donkey kong
I'd call it a unbearable task as a fellow Donkey Kong main
16:54 Common Giga Tea play
Checkmate
We knew Tea was a goat, but now Hikaru is looking like a massive talent as well. This was insane
this set feels like the highest level smash iv seen in so long, insanely skilled players
pacman is just camping, if that's the highest level, I'm sad.
@@mariooo88 Thats more easy to say than to do ;)

Props to Hikaru that dk play is insane. But god almighty the simplicity/effectiveness of the tea sequence @9:12

Tea has always been the real Pac-Man reincarnated. Anytime I see him play it feel like what Pac-Man would be in cannon. Let’s gooo!
Must be the one of the must fun Smash finals I've watched in a looong time :)

@@vick7868 dk on smaller maps against pac is kinda scary cause its hard to find a safe window to set stuff up as pacman
It’s not the matchup man. Hikaru is has learned his matchups and is just very talented. The matchup is still bad for donkey Kong
@@Fathergoodies Exactly. This matchup still sucks ass for DK but matchups dont matter at this top level. If both players are evenly skilled it can go either way. And Hikaru is cracked too
@@Fathergoodies indeed. I made a typo earlier but yeah Hikaru played this amazingly.
Me watching Hikaru like Morpheus saw Neo "he's starting to believe"
1:28 the fact he was telling the crowd to lose it even harder to mentally gap Tea is different
i love how this fight evolved. hikaru went from jumping a lot dodging faking atacks like in the first round to a more tanky playstyle. calculating waiting only shielding no useless jumps exactly how i play dk
If you get a top player to pop off when they beat you, you know you put in WORK. Hikaru’s DK kinda nice 👌🏼👌🏼
this was probably the best bracket set ive ever seen
This set was so hype
Man really said “It’s on like Donkey Kong” and Kong’ed all over the place. Beautiful.
“you know how Steve is when he gets that bell”
It was Steve in a monkey suit all along
I would have KILLED to hear TKbreezy and Coney cast this set
Idk Dara is up there with my favorites
Fax that would've been hilarious
@@Peter-q1p7t go away incel
@@Peter-q1p7t 💀
great game! Tea deserved more cred from the commentators really, awesome final stock
That's the scariest DK I've ever seen. Just the way they played was scary pressure.
Can’t wait for the PGstats video on Hikaru
that comentator speaking giberish
I can fix her
16:03 was the most Monke thing to ever happen in bracket my god
This had me flinching. What an insane move
i’m so sad it SD’d
I rewatched it 10x before I moved on lolololol
It hurt me as a DK main. DK doesn’t deserve such a bad vertical recovery option!
I’d like him to have a barrel blast up special that works exactly like the barrels on dk stages except you can choose the direction and power
If only they played on a Monday
hikaru could clear Leo on a Monday
It was Monday in Japan when they played this match, and they’re both Japanese, so we’ll count it
tea's Pac man is one of the best matchs to watch
Man that gameplay was wild and amazing to watch!
Great gameplay
Insane match. Never seen a seasoned DK player struggle so hard to land a kill move 🤯
Donkey Kong is the Kazuya counter.
Explain
Explain
Explain
Explain

Dk be slappen the dookie outta people
Also you can hear these commentators breathing soooo hard this match lol
That was the best set I’ve seen in years
Well, that was probably my favorite tourney clip in a long time. Both players on fire.
Damn that second last stock was tragic though. Almost brought it back though, well played all around!
Why did Donkey seem to just fall short asf on the last game? I swear I've never seen his up b fall so seemingly qucik and suddenly, uninterrupted.
どっちもエンターテイナーすぎる
それくらい見ててオモロい試合
OMG that last KO took my breath GGs
16:18
It’s crazy how close Hikaru was to beating Tea and Gluto, he really had a chance here
Hikaru was the one that sent Gluto to losers bracket
Didn’t he beat gluto?
@@dpcsoup04 not in the runback I mean
If you could master that reverse jump off stage , Donkey Kong would be scary at edge guarding
すごすぎて……ずっと口開いたままだったw
てぃーさん強すぎた笑 でもHIKARUドンキーの攻め続けるムーブ怖すぎw

This was an insanely good game
The pwessure wash emacuwit. Definitely cwazy pwessure. The DK had good advantage, but the neutral was vewwy scarwwy
On God made it tough to watch the video hearing that speech impediment every other word
Lmaooo 🤣😮💨
hilarious, i might have laughed at this when i was 13. fuck off
@@mithermage Maybe people shouldn't commentate if they can't pronounce their R's.
@@brad6220 maybe you should look past things that can't be helped and focus on things that actually matter. christ
Yooo a DK making it this far! I love this
やはり日本は魔境という事がまた証明された。
Tea was never scared off stage
yeah the commentators were a little off on that
Damn if Hikaru didnt do that sick spike SD he most likely had Game 4.
Had to do it to em
Dude I absolutely love Donkey Kong at pro level and the crowd going HU-HU-HU-HU-HU 🤣
edit: Hikaru insane fr
That game was hype. Rooting for DK all day. Low tier for life!
Pac Man's Down-Smash can 2-frame DK's recovery consistently and with little risk. I wonder why Tea didn't go for it more or if he doesn't know.
why they got someone with a speech impediment commentating
who keeps giving this guy sets to commentate 😭
I was a commentator one time and they told me to not be biased as number 1, they are breaking that rule
Someone tell these announcers they don't have to be speaking every single second of the fight.
Man, what I'd give to see Hikaru and Chunkykong play each other!
Hikaru would absolutely smack imo
@@vick7868 I don't think he would smack chunky, but I do think it would come down to who plays smarter. Both know the kill percents for ding dong perfectly, unlike most commentators lol! I could honestly see either one winning. Based on tournament results, Hikaru does have the edge.
This the smash I live for seeing two characters battling it out not building a wall and mining 70% of the match
This comment is what we all ask for every match lol
great commentary
This was a really good matchup
I’m surprised Tea didn’t pull out the DK for the ditto.
That last match was insane!!
Who is this commentator that can’t say r’s
I main Pac-Man and I've killed numerous people that same exact way I was so happy to see that!
てぃーさん以上に海外勢を味方につける日本人がいたなんて…
Had to mute the commentary which sucked but great set
the silence for the pac man kills is so loud
Wait wtf how is DK in WF of a major
Hikaru pushed DK above his limits
hikaru rejected humanity and went full monke
5:02 That key awareness and reversal!
Chills, literal chills!
That might best the sickest set I've ever seen.
6:52 "Zed drop" 😂 I mean I know British folk will say zed but hearing it in smash lingo was funny
Forgive my ignorance but
what are they doing when they stand up in between matches and look at that sheet of paper?
Picking a stage for the next match
Pacman winning
Commentators: OMG, Hikaru (DK) so good! /he's stablishing control / He's a monster counterplaying pacman!
Hate this
16:00 can watch this over and over again so this comment is for me...
I was more focused on the announcers battle with the letter "R"
Never pogged more at a set
This set was heat
Love me a little bit of smash inbetween the ads...
Is that an accent? The whole replacing some letters with W in a sentence. A few smash commentators have that
Tea is goated wtf was the last play 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tea is so hype! That was sick
NOW THATS SMASH BABY
Have to watch this on mute. The commentary is annoying as hell! Please have people that have gone through puberty announce please.
Any DK or Pac Man main would benefit from seeing this set
ドンキーの上B崖メテオに受け身取れるのすごい（）
Grimes?
Notice how Kazuya is so busted, DK won the match, and Tea decided to pick a better character.
This was a bangout fr. One of the hypest sets I watched in a while.
Edit: y’all lame asf for those commentator comments ngl
Hikaru is so good with dk and especially against pac man, I just feel like he needs to work on his charge up punches.
May have just been me but I realized Tea jumped a lot trying too get back on stage. I ss hoping Hikaru would’ve adapted and up-B on the stage for a cheese kill lol
he's the leader of the bunch
First member
You know him well
Bruh this announcer must love onions the way he’s always talking about layers
What a fucking set the crowd was losing it🤣
Where the melee
the announcer makes my ears bleed
最後のパワーエサやばすぎる
Damn, that was intense.
ドンキーは迫力あるから見てて面白い
“One of the sickest spikes in the history of the game” bro relax it was a dk fair😂 calm down
