Whenever I watch sandstorm play scythe, it makes me feel like I want to play the weapon, but then I remember I am not sandstorm and I end up gimping my self
That's what i love abt him, in a meta filled with axe and hammer and passive playing, this guy goes all out and always goes for the sickest shit, he never played passive and he's never on defense
@Friskyboi_ that’s why he’s my favorite player, I love watching his agressive play style and his sick plays in such a passive meta and him being the best player in the world shows that being passive isn’t the only way to play the game.
For any one wondering, being the world champion doesn't ****necessarily**** mean that you're the best player, however, it's a very good basis. Pugsy won grand finals last time, making him the world champion that season, but I doubt people would've called him the best player then.

Scythe has been feeling very weird lately. And i wouldn't pick it up if you're newer or was thinking about it. Just my opinion before i watch this video. AFTER this video i agree with everything Sandstorm says. As much as i love scythe, there's just i feel is much better weapons. But i love scythe and i don't think i'd drop it.
I was watching an eggsoup vid and he was saying how scythe is the hardest weapon in the game and then there's axe and lance that are the easiest and way better but in his opinion scythe should be the best weapon in the game since its the hardest and axe and lance should be the worst which I completely agree with and it sucks that its the complete opposite rn in the meta.
Scythe is fine as it is. If anything it doesn't struggle against any of the meta weapons. I just believe players are either lazy or discouraged about learning it, so they usually go for another weapon. Ever since I mained scythe, I been having a lot of decent matchups across the board.
Every pro player: changes there main depending on the meta, take them lvl 100 Sandstorm: has stuck to mordex most of his career (except when he played fait bc of gauntlets nerf) casually has him lvl 82 Edit: stop 3:38
That doesn’t make sense. Cody always plays Barraza. And every other pro started playing the game before sandstorm did. And sandstorm only used to play Nix and Mirage not Mordex.
heavy weapon meta and the way that you have to play around it to win i think, idk bc i don't follow the pro scene anymore (became boring af) but I still feel safe to say that's why.
it's also the way how passive play is more rewarding than aggressive, they need to come up with a way to balance them both out or make passive play have some sort of disadvantage.
@@PR0J3CTMKU same, though I feel there is a way to counter passive play, we just have to figure it out. passives are the patient type, the people who think before they head in, so how do you beat someone who thinks a lot? simple, don't give them time to think. bum rush them and submit them into a position they'd find uncomfortable
fun fact scythe is the only weapon with only true combos from air attacks and only weapon to have NEGATIVE STUN OFF GETTING A HIT hard dlight has more end lag then stun making how i see it the worst move in the game for multiple reasons and the fact scythe has true combos only on 1 legend and almost no one else is sad along with being able to attack out of combos and jump out of alot of start to combos is just stupid scythe rn people say is insane because it can read but scythe can read yes but since day one sandstorm has said that it cant kill it has bad landing options coming to stage it also has bad stun and now shit hitboxes on rec for no reason at all. edit: there are good parts scythe has really nice momentum and fast punishes and one of the only weapons to have a true combo into itself which is dair to dair offstage and reading isnt harder then like lance but ive got 240 hours on scythe alone and over 90 clips with the game ik what im talking about when i say the weapon wont get buffed because they fear it being good like when it came out if you need proof look at the old gp and n light nair that shit was insane but like GS people complained and it got nerfed in the ground so hard it wont get out of the hole because the devs fear what it could be not to say you cant use it and do well but like sandstorm says "why play scythe when you have better picks" hes right why spend 200 hours on a weapon to do what you could do with 100 hours on axe if you need proof look at most of plat vs scythe. scythe is also the only weapon to have almost no positive matchups only negatives like with lance hammer and axe (axe not as much but still not good) but by all means if you think im wrong im glad to have a debate on it :) one last edit i just did some research on scythe and well i found the stuns: SCYTHE MOVES STUN Dair (no active input): -2 stun Dair (active input): -2 stun Nair (no active input): +6 stun Nair (active input): -2 stun Sair: +2 stun Rec: +2 stun GP: -6 stun Nlight: +3 stun Slight (soft): +0 stun Slight (hard): +0 stun Dlight (no active input): +2 stun Dlight (active input): -3 stun Throw Weapon: +8 stun
All I have 2 say is he didn’t claim that since day 1, day 1 he found mordex then bcx came around and scythe and gaunts were hard meta xd but ye scythe rn (or string weapon’s that don’t got 3 hit true combos) lookin kinda rough at the moment
@@gamist8166 well day one im being over kill more in the earlier days when he sparring cosolix saying scythe isnt that good and its landing options are awful (didnt mean day 1 he played it)
Leonardo Lopes He is going to fight conor mcgregor in a 2 fight deal. 1 in brawlhalla where I think mcgregor mains wu shang, and boomie on the diana.. However they will also fight bare bones just fists in the ring but boomie needs to train for that so he took a break. Their fight will be in august the 15th
Something that I think that will make ppl play more scythe would be buffing It, 'cause even the GP is weak, so it's kinda weak now, plus the Cannon buff recently was amazing, making many players change to Cannon now
Sandstorm is ma true inspiration for scythe... When I see the things he can do it's just insane... I hope BMG hears this and buffs scythe a bit more ^_^
listen sandstorm, ive loked up to you for so long, as soon as i heard of you and seen you play i bought mordex and i main him. im still inside of gold heh but dont worry. im going to try to get into tournaments. and ry to do things ive never really done before in brawlhalla but. thank you sandstorm for making me happy when i watch your videos. but fr go with mordex or else more golds will pick fait lmao :)
I AGREED WITH THE WHOLE VID, scythe is just not the meta in tournaments, I play it because of just the things you can do with it. Recently I’ve moved from mordex to fait for a bit and her sigs are insane and her orb is just so smooth. I feel he should play Petra in tournaments or a non-scythe legend (so not Fait) He can play gauntlets really well and potentially great at orb
I have a question. I have been playing for about 6 months on controller and last season i finally got to low plat, my question is if there is a competitive advantage with keyboard and if so is it worth going from controller to keyboard even if i have gotten used to controller in brawl. All i want is to get better and better at brawl, so any help would be great.
yes you should undoubtedly switch. keyboard is way better. you can still do good with controller because pros like ethan and cosolix both use controller but a majority of others use keyboard

edit: there are good parts scythe has really nice momentum and fast punishes and one of the only weapons to have a true combo into itself which is dair to dair offstage and reading isnt harder then like lance but ive got 240 hours on scythe alone and over 90 clips with the game ik what im talking about when i say the weapon wont get buffed because they fear it being good like when it came out
if you need proof look at the old gp and n light nair that shit was insane but like GS people complained and it got nerfed in the ground so hard it wont get out of the hole because the devs fear what it could be not to say you cant use it and do well but like sandstorm says "why play scythe when you have better picks" hes right why spend 200 hours on a weapon to do what you could do with 100 hours on axe if you need proof look at most of plat vs scythe. scythe is also the only weapon to have almost no positive matchups only negatives like with lance hammer and axe (axe not as much but still not good) but by all means if you think im wrong im glad to have a debate on it :)
