I'll always remember from the Stealing Souls series, Gunblade getting absolutely destroyed as Marth on Kalos vs the Nairo Falcon. Perfect pivot jab 1 cross-ups, down throw into a dair, up air, dair set-up. It was beautiful 😍
The traction increase in Ultimate definitely made a difference, characters don't shoot forward trying to grab....also Falcon had a better initial dash comparatively and a smoother turnaround so he just felt different to pilot in 4.
@@kayden2119 fox, mario, lucas, greninja, falco, luigi, falcon, mk, kirby, mega man, pac man and damn near the rest of the cast. All of these characters from across the tier list extensively used jab locks in their game plan. These mechanics added sauce to everybody. Characters just being insanely overturned was made it unbalanced. ie clouds buster swod being the size of the empire state building.
ive never thought to describe it that way but yeah thats what i feel in many games i like the more of what it has to offer at highest levels but the downsides due to weird individual designs/balances and overall the game being not cared for like devs do with newer games it holds them back its similar for, basically, most fgs and a bunch of shooters is what i feel
As someone who played it I agree, also montages had some fire clips in this game and Falcon definitely had saucier clips and footstool combos shouldn’t have been removed so sad
@@Sunshine-eo2sp Smash 4 also had a broken grab game, so run up shield had a very direct risk and very direct counterplay. Cooldown being nonexistent in Ultimate doesn't really have counterplay besides hard reads, which even those lose to spotdodge > attack cancel unless you time your reads absolutely perfect. This is even worse when you take lag into consideration aince most people play Ult online. Moves having lag again would be a welcome change in Smash 6.
@@dilph yes lots of characters having hoo - hah confirms made shield risky at kill percents or even mid percents with rage for characters like sheik, M2, etc, shield was still strong because powershield was far safer than parrying was. Plus grabs had more lag in 4.

@@dilphsmash ultimate is a bad game for sure. They really did the game dirty. They don't know how to make a good fighting game nor do they care to. "We heard you like wave dashing melee fans?"

Bro smash 4 was so much better, the control was so beautiful. Just look at that clip with zss. Down smash, then she has the time to run behind samus and back air her. Everything was _so_ _smooth_. I respect the people that prefer ultimate, but it just feels rushed. Worst is that you had to switch game to continue playing with your friends. Smash 4 got that sense of beauty that smash ultimate doesn't, now it feels so cold.
THANK YOUUU IVE BEEN FEELING THIS WAY EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT but everyone would always backlash but nowadays im seeing more people appreciate it and it literally has me emotional knowing i was right all along
These replays showcase two things I desperately miss from Smash 4: Smash 4 Falcon and Smash 4 Marth. Back when both of them felt like real characters and were fun to play 😭😭😭
I remember having a replay against a Little Mac on For Glory. Weirdly enough NOT 1v1, but just For Glory in general, wanted to do a Four Player match. Anyway, was a bit bummed it was a 1v1 on a mode I wanted 4 Player match and just dealt with the 1v1. The first minute of the match, the Mac Taunted and teabagged. Something snapped within me, and I just let my animal instincts take over. I 3 Stocked that Mac for 40 seconds. By the last 5 seconds, he did not want to fight anymore. He just crouched for the remainder of that time, while at the same time, I snapped out of my Kill Mode. I've probably had better matches than that, but Smash Patches pretty much deleted them. Also the Smash game where I was comfortable with using most of the cast. Personally speaking : I think Smash Online should always have a 3 Stock 7 Minute Time Limit.
Holy shit, at 19:48 if you pause and go frame by frame you can see Cloud extending his hitbox by jabbing, which is what causes Roy's f smash to connect.
Mewtwo vs Falcon was annoying for Mewtwo because on top of getting hit by everything, I'm pretty sure Dthrow into knee was true specifically and only on him. I remember getting so tilted by that as a Mewtwo player lmao. Also now that I see this I realize how much I miss neutral airdodge being the only one. Even if it was more spammable I'd trade them for the ultimate ones any day, because airdodge reads were much more valuable and satisfying to punish when you also didn't have to correctly predict and follow the direction. (also I think they had more landing lag but could be wrong on that one)
Damn...I gotta say I did not know Nairo had it like that. WTF. I thought he just made clips here and there with Ganon and Paula wow. Bro you were great back in the day!
I started playing Ultimate as my first Smash game since 64. I didn't realise Falcon had so much swag in the last game 😢. He really does suck in Ultimate, but I see people cry about him all the time.
1:38 Falcon short I think 13, Wesker Skin. Double Down Air kill. I remember this lmfao. GODS why do I remember this?!?!? 5:05 I believe it was taking souls or maybe is was just a Nairo short? The background was modded. 6:28 another Nairo short I believe the same video but like 4 clips in between. 7:35 I believe this as taking souls gunblade 12? Or maybe it was during the Christmas ones? 8:18 Falcon Short 8 I believe. 8:27 Also Falcon Short, I think 10. 9:29 That Mario clip was a nairo short. You definitely said "EWWWWW" in the clip. 10:55 I believe that was also Falcon Short 10? 12:38 I think Falcon Short 14? you even went "EEEEUUUGH" After you Knee'd him. 13:13 I believe that was Flacon Short 11, other guy I think had the Dr Pepper skin on? Or was it the dark knight skin? I don't remember.. I definitely remember the sequence. 14:00 I think that was Taking Souls Gunblade but I can't remember or even guess which one. 15:49 I believe Falcon Short 14? Same clip as when you carried someone on I think Smashville and he said "Why would you do this to me? I had a family" 16:53 Flacon Short 11 or 12. "I want to get him with a falcon punch. I think I could do it" Clip Immediately after is the same video I think you go "That's how Falcon punch Knockback should be!" 17:30 Mewtwo being smoked was Falcon short 7 I think? It's either 7 or 11.. I remember it though. 20:50 Nairo Short I believe. I remember a ton of the clips because I used to rewatch falcon shorts and that's how my falcon got so good in Smash 4. Also why my Ganon was good despite his clunkiness. But I love him..
I remember hoping to see Nairo to pull out the Falcon in bracket... but just like Cosmos needs to unlock Friendlies Mode in bracket now, Nairo needed to unlock Streamer Mode for the Falcon back then 😂 a timeline we'll never see
Watching this makes me miss Smash 4 so much. I still prefer it over Ultimate. I think the way Smash 4 played and movement tech allowed for a much higher skill ceiling and rewarding moments than Ultimate. Falcon was too fun in Smash 4. Closest thing we have to that in Ultimate is DK tbh.
as someone who played smash 4 Falcon as a main and knew how to do a lot of jablock combos on poor for glory Ganon players and I loved to run through people and raptor boost to take stocks that was a classic thing for most Falcon players on for glory and I honestly miss dthrow upair footstool which is gone now and footstools can be teched now sadness why did they ruin Falcon and also dash grab in the new game feels so ass same with the movement he got
I understand that Ultimate is beginner-friendly but Ult's movement being easily accessible for anyone kills the idea of shmoovement and any potential. That's why Ult is so boring to watch compared to other titles, nearly everyone can do anything
20 seconds into every video, "hold on chat, I must've saved this for some reason".
Holy shit Nairo's Falcon was a literal hype machine
It hurts seing how good falcon used to be
Seeing these combos made me realize how sauceless Ultimate is tbh@@wuhhlfarg353
I never understood why he shit on Ult's falcon so much until this
@@wuhhlfarg353 He's still the same now it's just that every other character has also gotten better
@@EmptyHand49 is more so that his turn around feels like shit and his grab got heavily nerfed, he feels clunky in ult
ah yes the infamous lines spoken by every smash player ever: "why did i save this?"
I remember now why smash4 was so much more fun to watch
My hot take is that movement and expression in 4 is better than Ult lol. Ult is better competitively, but you could go crazy in 4.
@@BabyCalisthenics i watched tons of ultimate, but watching these clips, i have to agree. something just hits different with the movement in sm4sh

Honest to god smash 4 has higher peaks then ultimate but just lower lows. Some hard read options need to be added back to smash 6 whenever that exists
Lmao nah
@@kayden2119jab locks, untechable footstools, perfect pivots etc were peak and I’m tired of thinking they aren’t.

Cooking in these replays
This is so interesting, I just came across Nairo's first smash ultimate stream and he is so different. 6 years are a long of time
Mario screaming like that ended me lmfao
This era w the mod pack and cable/gunblade streams was the best smash era
sometimes i miss smash 4 narratives, there was a lotta hype
Spikes were so much cooler in smash4. Maybe bc I was so new to the game or maybe the freeze frames were lower. It felt crispy
Lowkey the better game
Highkey
I miss smash 4 falcon so much, man
I miss Smash 4 Falcon so much. Dude had swag.
