Lol you ain't the only one. I need to prepare myself for the double fox tagteam. I may use Ninetales myself. I still plan to do it this weekend on Saturday.
17:48 5YYY -> 8A isn't actually a blockstring, so you can CA through 8A and punish it. In fact I don't think Libre has any blockstrings into 8A. If you wanna tech throws then 4X is a grab crush that leads into a full combo on crit.
its funny you're now trying to pick sceptile up cause I've been learning him too for a couple weeks and it's been so fun and addicting I've been playing him more than my main darkrai we should play a scep mirror i bet it'd be funny
@@NickIcyTails If that was all Sceptile had he wouldn’t be one of three characters to be contending for absolute best character in the game. The amount of shit this char can just do is unreal
@@KalamityKTK yeah no kidding. I gotta learn how to use them properly. Decidueye on the top tier? Don't really know which list are legit, but I can't stand that bird.
@@NickIcyTails Top 3 has always been this wild west debate. For like the past two years, it was Decidueye, Slash and Sceptile, but now it’s probably Sceptile, Slash and Scizor, with Decidueye likely not even being top 4 anymore because of SM2. My point is Sceptile is actually absurd in this game. His CA is **arguably** the best in the game, especially when not considering the cheater behavior that is Scizor’s kara bullshit. That’s mainly because it’s in the fastest tier of CAs, it’s a giant two-hit Mid that combos, and the worst part is that it’s all attatched to possibly the craziest forward dash in the game (only 13 frames), making Sceptile’s CADC almost completely inconsequential, to the point where spamming CAs into CADC over and over is not only a real strategy, but also really difficult to deal with, especially at lower levels. On top of that nonsense, all of his moves are just… what the hell. jX is a fucking invincible combo divekick, j8Y catches jumps like nobody’s business, 5X hits from midrange and is dash cancelable into that 13 frame fdash (which lets him combo into supports like Yveltal for free), 6A Leafblade fuckin destroys attempts to use midrange projectiles to a comical degree, 2A Giga Drain is an angleable ranged command grab that steals HP and synergy ON TOP OF BEING DASH-CANCELABLE for whatever reason, 5AA Bullet Seed and jA Leech Seed are some of this game’s most difficult traps to get around, and are further complicated by Sceptile’s insane overall kit, 8Y is one of the most ignorant anti-airs in the game due to its long-lasting hitbox that lingers and debuffs your defense, his 5YY is one of the best in the game because it’s dash-cancelable AND “faux”-jump-cancelable due to 5A, and 4A Detect is a contender for one of the most toxic moves overall in this whole game because it’s a FRAME 1 command counter with s that doesn’t even NEED to be triggered in order for Sceptile to potentially escape the corner anyway with its swing. On top of having all of these ridiculous options, along with some I’ve probably forgot to mention, Sceptile also kinda just… doesn’t have any weaknesses. Sure, his disadvantage against the corner would suck… if he didnt have his broken CA, Detect, and the best jumps in the game that kind of just let him weasel out of almost any situation that allows him to jump away, while also having an 8X where he leaps into another universe to dodge whatever you try hitting him with while also throw-crushing. He’d probably struggle against blocking… if his grab didnt reach so damn far, if 5YY didn’t do EVERYTHING, and if Giga Drain didnt make dealing with Bullet Seed a constant 50/50. He’d probably struggle against jumps… if 8Y wasn’t so cheap, if 8A Leaf Storm was a FRAME 1 invincible anti-air grab, and fY didnt just reach for the heavens if you ever dared try jumping out of bullet hell. If all of that wasn’t enough for you, his Burst mode is one of the best in the game. His traps activate faster, his grabs do even more damage, Leafblade gets a massive followup that’s safe and is a blockstring, and his BA is virtually a get out of the corner free card if used right. TL;DR: Sceptile is cheap. If you like winning, use Sceptile 🙃
Real opponents against Sceptile: GAHHH I CAN'T GET IN- WHAT NOW YOU'RE MIXING ME UP!?!?!? AI VS Sceptile: Hahaha ik your every move, let me ruin your story winstreak
Surprise video I managed to get out. Enjoy 💙
This was a really fun video. Great stuff
dude your content is amazing brother
I loved seeing high-level scepitle gameplay
You made my day hearing that my Sceptile was that good. Thank you. First time playing him was on stream and then this video.
I gotta say, you have a good sceptile, I try using them on the wii u and I’m not that good, keep up the good work dude, have a good morning/night.
Thanks! I really started to like using him once I learned what works and my own tempo. You have a good morning/night as well 😁
I'm glad you took a break and hung out with family. I still can't wait for this stream though.
Lol you ain't the only one. I need to prepare myself for the double fox tagteam. I may use Ninetales myself. I still plan to do it this weekend on Saturday.
As a Ex-Secptile main. I am impressed.
Thanks. Once I got a flow it was about learning what works. For only getting one time to practice him since the stream the improvement felt good 😊
Bro really thinks hes Sawyer.
Love your videos and memes
Bro I feel like you relied more with just the Grabs then just the Regular Combat Combat
It was working and you know the saying, If it ain't broke don't fix it. You blocked my other stuff. 😅
@@NickIcyTails by the way when you doing the Weavile challenge the I give it to you
@@TM02DragonClaw I had to think on it and I'll give this one. Feels like you wanted to sucker punch Weavile with all the things I can't do.
I love that he make a 7 things probably more hating this game but deep down he loved this game too 😂 is a lovehate situation
I LOVE/HATE this game so much.😵💫

we should play a scep mirror i bet it'd be funny
We get matched up together I'd up to that. I definitely want to use him more often.
Just main this character. Losing is a choice when playing Sceptile
Weavile for life!!! Also winning with only loops, counter attack, and Leaf Blade made swear off making him a main.

@@KalamityKTK noted...breaking it down for me. I knew some nonsense about Sceptile, but damn didn't truly process it went that deep.😵
Will there be more sceptile stuff?
Yeah. I had fun with Sceptile and I actually would like to get better with him.
