I used to be amazed by how AWFUL the elite smash players were when Marss played them. Then in a recent stream I matched against him. And now I get it. This man sees through this game like its glass. I was doing the worst options I had ever done. I was getting played like I never had before. I consider myself a decent player at the absolute lowest level. I have gotten 2nd place at my local a few times. I can run circles around my friends when we play. but I was EMBARRASSED when I played Marss's sheik with my main. He shut me out, combo'd me, and threw needles at me until I decided to SD to take the noble way out. I went on stream and donated my lunch money as penance.
Honestly probably unlucky asf you ran into his sheik I have a theory he secretly likes playing her and pretends not to lmao shes also just really hard to hit even againts bots
Video: ZSS is a solid counterpick to Game and Watch, Sonic, and Steve Marss: Nuh uh Video: Marss is such a good player and top players are scared to fight him Marss: Nevermind, you're so right king Iconic streamer, thats why he's my GOAT
Sonix would tear through that Belmont like it’s paper. Matchup seems incredibly free for Sonic as long as you don’t mindlessly spin dash into his projectiles
I would honestly lose my shit if I open up youtube and see a smash tournament recommended on the front page and it says Marss at the top and instead of a picture of ZSS or Joker I see a picture of Richter
Anti-Meta seems to be some people way of saying " a good counterpick character" lol. I do miss when Palu and ZSS were just saying "lol no" to the corny stuff in early Ult tho
I think anti-meta means that they might not be overly relevant in the meta by themselves but they have good matchups versus many of the characters that are.
@@motizz69420 hard work can mean many things. Practicing often, labbing tech and setplay, etc. The way I'd say Marss works hard is in his gameplay. He moves around characters that hit much harder then ZSS, and mistakes are very punishing when you mess up as her. Watch him fight a steve or G&W and you can see the ratio of neutral wins to losses Marss needs to succeed. That's my perspective anyway. Winning tournament sets vs top players isn't easy, regardless of character.
Thank you for doing reactions good, Marss - crediting and citing the creator and their content as well as adding more value on top the covered work too, you're both amazing for that I'm unsure if it has always been this way on your channel (as i can't catch a few months of content sometimes,) but it's great rn
Honestly when the game was coming out, one of the characters that I was more excited about where the belmonts they turned out to not really be my style but I would love to see a really good Belmont player that can duke it out with the best
Marss, low-key you should go to japan but more specifically watch the ZSS WIFI style of Japan. It's not the optimal way to play offline even in Japan but what's USEFUL about it is the wifi style of ZSS for them helps you see the "wall" that she directly acknowledges they hate. There is a reason Acola had his win streak ended by light-ZSS from a reverse 3. And it wasn't just the MU.
I do not feel like spargo "came out of nowhere" I actually feel his rise to the top is very well documented and we saw him get gently tucked into the dirt plenty of times before he became sparGOAT. I had a big issue with that line about spargo's rise
The sonic matchup isn't terrible. But its not good at all either. Its a matter of who gets the lead and then keeps it. GnW you said it with range. Steve doesn't get to put up blocks cuz whip goes through blocks but has to in order to block cross.
Fellas, do we think pokemon trainer could maybe be anti meta? I play GnW and charizard does very good into him. We all know ivy is great into steve and maybe squirtle can brawl with sonic? Idk
The problem with "these anti meta characters" which is more of a problem with steve, Mr.G&W and sonic is that "counter pickeing" them is only really making it even at best
The Pyra Mythra clip at the end of the video shows the elephant in the room. What is a character that ZSS, Corrin, Cloud and the Belmonts all struggle against to some extent? ...Pyra Mythra, of course. A character who happens to be one of the most common secondaries in the game already. If people try to counter Steve, G&W, or Sonic with those anti-meta characters, the Aegis will likely take over again, mark my word.
Corrin goes even with Aegis according to Shadic and he has yet to get beaten badly by one in fact he beats a lot of top Aegis mains. Aegis definitely beats everyone else though, and her going even with Corrin isn't bad at all, so your point still stands
Curious to hear people’s thought on Palutena being anti-meta? From what I saw mentioned about cloud at least, her up air is absolute bullshit and she can ledgetrap and edge guard pretty well. As everyone complains about her aerials do a decent amount of damage and can be stringed together, down throw is usable (I say usable because you can di so the Palu can’t follow up at some percentages), she has no issue killing, also has usable projectiles. More comparison to cloud being that she, like cloud, is a fundies character. Now I’m a biased Palutena main and I always hear people complain about her but never see her making any big moves consistently since Nairo (whom I no longer support) years ago. So if you disagree. Or agree, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I’m partway through this video, but Cloud does not have a good time against Sonic. In fact, Sparg0 said it was probably cloud’s worst or second worst matchup. Sparg0 is just really good at the matchup.
His winning record against Aegis (a character he actually believes is Cloud's worst matchup, an opinion I don't agree with in the slightest, mind you as a fellow Cloud) may show the doability of Cloud into both Aegis and Sonic
Will you stop using low tiers like ZSS? Maybe you’d see consistent tourney results if you used a better character. ZSS is about as low tier as they come.
I love how the person he's reacting too titled his video "the anti meta characters of ultimate" but then just randomly complained about Steve and gnw for the first half of the video
The first half was meant to set up as to what makes the meta characters meta in the first place by describing why exactly they're good, so he can bring up their counters later in the video to better show off why the characters he chose can deal with those seemingly insurmountable strengths. Also you can edit comments.
@@ynam.2622 I mean ik you have to describe the meta but he just sounded so whiny, he should describe the meta but instead of going through their strengths and weaknesses and other important aspects of their gameplan he just ranted about gnw up b for the entire segment
Pac-Man is another lame zoner like the rest of em. Just cuz he can sling a fire hydrant at someone doesnt make him cool. Hes still just camping as hard as possible. Even snake is cooler and hes lame too
The fact that the guy from the video actually convinced Marss’ stubborn ass of most of the points in the video is absolutely insane
I take the fact that you didn't hate it as a true badge of honour
Yayy, Fudj, glad you're here :)
I usually don't go out of my way to like the video I watched a reaction of, but you definitely deserve it :)

People on elite smash genuinely are the worst players you'll ever encounter it's not hard to a pro player to get jv4's because they are noobs
The man sees through the game like glass is hilarious
2nd at a local is kinda cracked tho unless it was in the middle of nowhere
Honestly probably unlucky asf you ran into his sheik I have a theory he secretly likes playing her and pretends not to lmao shes also just really hard to hit even againts bots
Those last two sentences are pathetic man😭
Video: ZSS is a solid counterpick to Game and Watch, Sonic, and Steve
Marss: Nuh uh
Video: Marss is such a good player and top players are scared to fight him
Marss: Nevermind, you're so right king
Iconic streamer, thats why he's my GOAT
You're cringe.
👨🏿
The cut to you immediately playing Belmont is killing me
I need to see Spargo whip out the Belmont in grands vs Sonic when Roy fails him
Come on we all know Sparg0’s plant is the real anti-meta pick
Sonix would tear through that Belmont like it’s paper.
Matchup seems incredibly free for Sonic as long as you don’t mindlessly spin dash into his projectiles
@@mercurysnake274I think it depends on the stage
Marss can still save ultimate, its not too late. Please keep going to tournaments, I legitimately think you are one of the best players in the world!
I second the motion
And the motion carries.
@@coreytcook1 No we have to vote on the motion first. Mf never heard of Robert’s Rules
12:00 I love how as soon as the guy said. “ZSS is not good” Marss immediately began to side with his arguments 😂
I need more people to catch on to Fudj and his work on Palette Swap, the guys writing is genuinely phenomenal
I watched this video when it came out and when I saw the zss section I was wondering what marss would think the whole time 💀
I would honestly lose my shit if I open up youtube and see a smash tournament recommended on the front page and it says Marss at the top and instead of a picture of ZSS or Joker I see a picture of Richter
Anti-Meta seems to be some people way of saying " a good counterpick character" lol.
I do miss when Palu and ZSS were just saying "lol no" to the corny stuff in early Ult tho
I think anti-meta means that they might not be overly relevant in the meta by themselves but they have good matchups versus many of the characters that are.
1:03 brother you are MUNCHING
We all know that zss sucks, the only reason that she’s accomplished anything is due to the talent and hard work of Marss
*lack of hard work. Marss himself says he doesnt practice 😂
@@motizz69420 hard work can mean many things. Practicing often, labbing tech and setplay, etc. The way I'd say Marss works hard is in his gameplay. He moves around characters that hit much harder then ZSS, and mistakes are very punishing when you mess up as her.

Incredible amounts of d sucking
@@motizz69420yeh Marss ain’t really invested the game like that anymore but he definitely grinded zss earlier in his smash career
@motizz69420 Yeah, but in the same way sports coaches don't practice.
Someone tell Riddles to use Richter again for Steve
Thank you for doing reactions good, Marss - crediting and citing the creator and their content as well as adding more value on top the covered work too, you're both amazing for that
I'm unsure if it has always been this way on your channel (as i can't catch a few months of content sometimes,) but it's great rn
so all we need is a 2019 riddles and the meta is saved, got it
The Beefy Smash Dudes have a short on a funny tech you can do with the spinny whip that actually makes it somewhat usable.
Thank you Steve, G&W, and Sonic for being funny and making so many so many western smashers lose their minds.
Thank you Marss for saving Smash Ultimate 😊😊

Banjo is surprisingly good at fighting Steve
Marss' inner Kermit showing thru on this vid haha
what's the 0:45 tier list? It's different from the other one mentioned in the video. Are they made by the same people? Which one's the most recent?
I really want to see how far Marss can take the Belmont's.
No. Marss is a top tier destroyer
Fellas, do we think pokemon trainer could maybe be anti meta? I play GnW and charizard does very good into him. We all know ivy is great into steve and maybe squirtle can brawl with sonic? Idk
charizard does not do good into gnw what fucking planet are you on
To me, a real Anti Meta character was like DK and Bowser in Sm4sh.
The problem with "these anti meta characters" which is more of a problem with steve, Mr.G&W and sonic is that "counter pickeing" them is only really making it even at best

8:39 It's the will of the Kpop gods
Belmont Marss would go hard.
Dude in that anti meta video was cooking!
Bro ZSS is litrilly Venom.. 🔵✨💨
Greninja Beats Steve, Aegis and goes even with Sonic.
Bowser jr anti meta imo , but im biased
You’re almost right except Steve absolutely dumpsters jr he just manages to be the only mid tier that doesn’t get instantly +2’ed by the other two
Anti-meta? More like anti-meat 👍🏻
Horrifying, thanks
Maybe the answer is just to listen to KPop
HAZ CAN DO IT I BELIEEEEVE
Zss codplay when
No, that would be krool
So zss is viable if you're Marss fishing for an upset and she'll get rolled otherwise
"true"
-Marss 2024
Meta Knight. The one true Meta.
Yo what is that tier list
lowkey, ivysaur destroys steve
I knew the best Simon player in the world. Simon is not good enough to beat these meta characters.
Mars gotta start hitting the gym, he's getting chunky
lol Corrin is the only character here who does good into Sonic. Cloud sucks and ZSS is mid and easy to adapt to cuz everyone plays her the same.
Corrin main since day 1 baby, but I don't like K-pop so im garbage!
zss my queen 😓
Will you stop using low tiers like ZSS? Maybe you’d see consistent tourney results if you used a better character. ZSS is about as low tier as they come.
What was that leatherface shi about 😂
Just play Wolf dude
Yay
ZSS SUCKS!
Tf is this Oi Bruv talking up NA for? I thought we fought a war to keep them out
but is it zss thats anti meta or it's just marss... dont be seing to much zss beating top3 asses

G&W and Luigi sure, but Pacman?? I think Pacman is kinda hype..
Whats hype about pac man
@@pocketvices he has way more brainpower and requires some stylish/planned setups

@@trumanw1999Pacman has the potential to be hype, but 90% of his gameplay is hydrant and camping for fruits
