I think we should create the legend of post Japan trip Zomba. After his first Japan trip, Zomba became the highest placing American at Battle of BC5, and won Crown the Third. And now, after this year's Japan trip, he wins Genesis X.
As someone who hasn't watched a Smash bros tournament live since 2021, Genesis X genuinely felt like a breath of fresh air and re-awakened my love for Ultimate.
The game's going strong!! It may have stopped getting updated by the devs but the community is keeping it alive. Sure we have our moments but the highs like this pay off so much. Don't listen to the haters, the gloomers and all the toxic people. We play and watch because we love this game and we love the players. Also just wanted to add that steve was NOT banned this tourney and we still didn't get to see any steve or game & watch in top 8
Tbh i really like Zomba's trash talk lol it reminds me a lot of whenever leo won any tournament he'll just said "i won cause im better, what else i can say im the #1" and i've been missing that lol i know he is just trolling but huge congrats on him for winnig such a big tournament with ROB, really hope this makes the meta change again
I wouldn''t say he is trolling he just makes terrible decisions with who to go in which match up. His rob was playing hot and he didn't even try it vs gackt and he also said he was dropping byleth but went him 2 games vs gackt
I love that Zomba's embracing his villain arc, he works really hard and travels a lot to compete despite being a free agent, I don't really like his attitude but you gotta respect the commitment and passion he brings to the table, a well deserved win for someone's who's slowly becoming the biggest Villain in Ultimate's history. There's not enough storylines going on, this one's bound to be exciting because people often forget that when a Villain gets really powerful, the heroes rise up to the challenge.
I don’t like Zomba frr, but the confidence to say all that during a post patch interview. And still end up winning the entire tournament. He has my full respect. He has the mouth and the skills to back it up
Well he technically did get semi-lucky that he didn’t run into Miya or Maister at any point. Still his skills are to be recognized because defeating the #6, #5, #3 and #2 players in the world is extremely impressive.
For those who don’t like Zomba, this is a reminder he’s still a kid. 18 is when you just graduate high school in US. He’s cocky and backs it up with a result. That’s why he’s fun to watch
Yeah but he is carried by Rob imo if you're going to talk smack you need to play a character that takes some more skill. I mean watch the set with spargo the only reason he won that was because of down tilt and gyro. I don't hate the guy but I just find it a little bit annoying to act so cock and play a character like Rob.
@@Trendy_Boi yall always got some excuse. If he was so carried, why wasn’t he winning anything prior 2022 offline? He got good with his character that’s pretty good but also combo food.
@@Trendy_Boi How many Robs were in top 8? xD If we talk about tiers he beat Sonic (nº2) and Aegis(at least top 10), maybe Rob doesn't require super skill, but he played his cards well and outsmarted his opponents in game.
No, being cocky doesn't make you fun to watch, it usually makes you disliked. Also, 18 is not a kid, he's young but not a kid. Finally, him being immature and young doesn't mean we should support or enjoy his antics, he should be pushed to behave like a man of 18 years of age and not a cocky entitled child. But hey, I'm talking to a bunch of immature children who see themselves reflected in his character, hence their support of him.
Man Miya was definitely playing scared in that winners set against Raflow. Raflow should've lost after D-tilting in the wrong direction the first time, but Miya didn't capitalize on it.
I think Raflow has more experiance with traveling so he was able to keep his nerves in check better. Imagine being overseas fighting a tournament like this >_
@@TopOfAllWorlds I don't really think this is it. At least it's not the traveling. Miya has had some stellar overseas results in the past, with winning Rise N' Grind and getting 2nd at Port Priority 8. I definitely believe he was not playing at his best tho. Maybe it's the new year and new ranking season pressure or he was just having a bad day, not feeling the best, who knows.
Miya had some practice issues back in his country. For some reason a ton of Japanese smashers would block him mid or post set on smashmate (a grinding website that is really good for grinding and has made Miya and Acola to where they are today) because of his character choices. That really demotivated Miya so he took a 2 week break from smash, then when he came back he only practiced with Mii Sword Fighter until a few days before Genesis started.
Congrats to zomba, I was definitely not expecting him to be the Genesis champion but he played out of his mind. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses this year
My dude called himself the best player in the venue and then went on to win the entire tournament. I could only dream of that level of self-confidence and charisma.
Even tho Zomba is a cocky mf, you can't really hate. He fought his way through gluto,Tweek,Spargo,and Sonix twice. Gotta give credit where credit is deserved.
@@nocando17 you are definitely right... We don't need more narcissistic people, but Zomba's cocky attitude will lead him to humiliation at some point, as it always does
@@nocando17 I don't think you need to take what he says that seriously. I doubt we'll see other people taking a God complex all of a sudden just cause Zomba does it, it's just a bit of entertainment
talk that talk, it creates story lines that are far more hilariously interesting and is part of the fgc. Zomba also sounds like this is hella forced lmao like hes tryna get sponsored or som
This tournament was really great. It had lots of upsets and many great sets. But it wasn't flawless. I know it's really hard to organize a tournament especially this grand size, but I'd expect by the 10th Genesis they'd know how to run a stream. Many editing technical mishaps and I'm not sure I agree with having only 2 streams where they constantly running ads at the same time and never stream any losers match where the biggest upsets happen. Kind of disappointed. But the matches sure payed off and I bet it must have been a great event to be at.
It's not Zomba who I have issues with, it's Light for emoting on my boy Riddles after BARELY winning game 3 and escaping being reversed 3-0'd by a hair (Riddles misinput backthrow). Thank god Tweek put him into his place and promptly sent him back home with a convincing 3-0. Poor Riddles cannot catch a break lately.
I don't think it's hateful. Just trolling and banter like with zomba. They've faught in the past and I'm sure they're on good terms. Not to mention Riddles was smiling and laughing there at the end. Light does this often tho, it can be pretty annoying
Placed 17th, very unfortunate. Seems he was off his game and unexperienced against Raflow, because even Maister beat Raflow that tournament, it was pretty crazy to see Maister place above MiYa for once.
I was hoping to find sum lite about Genesis, since I haven’t seen much. I just saw Hbox’s post on twitter that he told Zomba to be a little cocky so he could get sponsored 💀.
Zomba has single handedly saved smash ultimates doom. Beat the two cheapest players in ultimates history (spargo and sonix). This man has earned his spot among the GOATS of smash
Zomba's bit is insanely cringe idk how anyone thinks its cool. The "everyone in my gaming community is a sweaty loser but me" stance is never not pathetic
People didn't think it was super cool it was just mad funny. He talked smack and backed it up, I don't see a problem. Some professional athletes do stuff like that too, and people don't hate on them.
@@kachowabunga17Most professional athletes that do this are hated on because they sound lame and pathetic when doing it. Take the ufc, people can't stand colby covington's bit because its forced and cringe (like zomba), but love conor mcgregor because he has an actual silver tongue and he isn't faking it, and he's not stumbling over his words, and doing little giggles after every line
Lol Zomba spouts so much BS. He's been winning cause he has been practicing with the best players in the world and been putting the work, going to Japanese tourneys and whatnot. No wonder people hate on him, everyone hates a sore loser let alone a sore winner...
@@harryzhu1074 nah mate, I'm happy for any player who puts in the work. Tbf Zomba played out of his mind, I knew he was going far after seeing his set against Gluto, he did really well. However, that doesn't really change my opinion on his demeanour, I would like to see him having more respect and consideration for other players that's all.
@@TheAnikasis He fistbumped everyone he played with. Even when he loses in other tournaments, he always makes sure to fist bump. Being cocky is fine, he literally shows his respect. Some people don’t even fist bump after being salty.

It’s not that he’s an asshole he’s just very very arrogant.

Zomba sounded like the main villain after beating Sonix lol, kinda love the villain persona
He's like the lovable based villain than the hated one like how part of the community treated sonix

as a french, the whole set between raflow and miya gave me a lot of chills
Amazing video! Surreal to see myself in it, even if it's just a sliver of my face. Great work!
Zomba was simply better, he didn’t even had a good/lucky bracket he just outplayed the #2 and #3 players
