Yeah, even if he lost against sonix, (which is completely understandable considering sonic is possibly Kirby's worst MU and sonix is a top 5 player) guilheww still got 13th with Kirby at a supermajor (and beat Asimo in the process)
Honestly I am just so proud for Guilheww to be able to take Kirby this far, even in 2024 where Ultimate is now gonna be 6 years old. Really puts a smile on my face as someone who's put in so much time helping people learn about the pink puffball.
As great as ShinyMark, Gackt and Shadic’s runs were at this event… I honestly feel like Guilheww’s run to Top 15 is quite possibly the best highlight of S Factor 11. He only lost to two people seeded in the Top 10, for crying out loud!
seeing sonix counter every homing attack is SUPER impressive to me. especially when he revved his f smash for a little while longer for the landing lag from kirby’s homing attack. he’s so cool, W sonix
You basically have to bait and punish, which is extremely difficult in and of itself since sonic is so much faster than Kirby. The inhale in neutral was a fun trick I didn't know before. Overall, the matchup is ass, but I'm confident that counterplay exists and that Guilheww will figure it out.
@@fuducker2Idk man, this is a Sonic does his thing and wins effortlessly match up. Kirby has 0 way to approach aganist spindash, i can't think of any counterplay, specially vs sonix
@@Bruh_ssb camp, hide in shield, throw out lingering aerials like nair to trade with spin dash, use this guilheww inhale in neutral, and be absolutely 100% ready to punish errors from the sonic. I guess it’s not so much counterplay as it is playing a grueling, agonizing matchup as lamely and exhaustingly as possible.
@@Bruh_ssb update: I found a set from a few months ago of Jejajeja 3-0ing Craftis, a respectably decent sonic, at collision 2024. Haven't watched it yet but will be interesting to see how he handled the MU. Collision 2024 - JaJeJa (Kirby) VS Craftis (Sonic)
Sonix got about halfway through game one, went "Oh wait, I can just run circles around this character" and then reminded us why Kirby is a low tier.
Man seeing a Kirby at this high level is insane, let's see if they can keep this up in future tournaments.

Steve is a way worse matchup
@@mrpineapple7666 depends on who you ask, they're both definitely horrible though
Guilheww said in Twitter that the mu is more doable than Steve but that he lost to Sonix bc he is a beast as a player
Seeing a Kirby even making it this far is a treat

Konokururu sent his thanks to Guilheww today when I told him about this.

Soniax el mejor
So can Kirby not hold the homing attack and skirt across the stage too?
kirby uses his copy ability exactly like the original (not sharing mechanics like olimar or rosalina)
@blackberry4322 weird guilheww never holds it like sonix he just does the one attack
I really don't care seeing kirby getting 3 stock of 0 and 3 over all he's still a fun character to use
not much kirby can do v sonic :(
